NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW

Unless otherwise noted herein, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Payoneer”, and the “Company” refer to Payoneer Inc. for the period prior to the Closing Date and to Payoneer Global Inc. for the period thereafter.

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, New Starship became the combined company and changed its name to Payoneer Global Inc. (the “Company”). Legacy Payoneer was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Payoneer’s stockholders prior to the Reverse Recapitalization having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, Legacy Payoneer’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company and the assets and revenue of Legacy Payoneer were greater than those of FTOC. As FTOC does not meet the definition of a “business” for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Payoneer issuing stock for the net assets of FTOC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FTOC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While FTOC was the legal acquirer in the Reverse Recapitalization because Legacy Payoneer was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Payoneer became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Payoneer prior to the Reverse Recapitalization; (ii) the combined results of the Company and Legacy Payoneer following the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Payoneer at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively adjusted in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share issued to Legacy Payoneer’s stockholders in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Payoneer redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock prior to the Reverse Recapitalization have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement. In conjunction with the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company’s Common Stock underwent a 1-for-1.88 conversion. Note that the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect as though the conversion of the Company’s Common Stock occurred for all periods presented, without any change in the par value per share.

Starting in January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our teams, customers, and supply chains. Starting in March 2020, due to broader travel restrictions, global travel and tourism slowed, negatively impacting our travel customer base. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to zero in mid-March 2020, negatively impacting our interest income revenues associated with underlying customer accounts. In the first three months of 2022, global travel and tourism started to return and some travel restrictions were lifted, positively impacting our travel customer base. In addition, in mid-March 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to combat rising inflation concerns, positively impacting our interest income revenues associated with underlying customer accounts. Despite the recent acceleration of travel and interest rate increases, uncertainties remain around the current trajectory of travel growth and other macroeconomic factors.

Despite the global travel slowdown and interest rate cuts, and wavering consumer confidence, the COVID-19 pandemic driven shift in buying patterns from brick and mortar to e-commerce, led to an acceleration of digital commerce that created tailwinds which further strengthened our role in the global economy. Shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures and travel restrictions following the extraordinary spread of COVID-19 fundamentally shifted commerce and the way buyers and sellers transact, accelerating digitalization and e-commerce trends.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL OVERVIEW (continued)

During early 2022, a geopolitical and armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia culminated in several countries, including the US, imposing economic sanctions on Russia and certain territories in Ukraine and on certain Russian and Belarussian banks and entities. Payoneer provides services to customers in Ukraine and in jurisdictions that are or may be impacted by these economic sanctions. We are continually acting to comply with the imposed sanctions. In addition, we reduced our payment services to Russia and Belarus customers. At this time, it is difficult to assess the impact the conflict in Ukraine, the related economic sanctions and the reduction in services to Russia and Belarus customers may have on our results of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Russia and Belarus, combined, accounted for less than 3% of our revenue, while together with Ukraine, all three countries accounted for slightly less than 10% of our revenue. There was immaterial impact on revenue from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Continuation or escalation of the conflict may have a material effect on our results of operations.
