(NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. First Quarter 2023 Highlights Revenue increased 6% to $159.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders decreased 23% to $30.1 million and decreased 13% to $0.46 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $67.1 million and Adjusted earnings per common share increased 5% to $0.69 Share repurchases totaled $6.3 million Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are encouraged by the strong results in the first quarter, which demonstrate the strength of our business model in both Puerto Rico and Latin America, therefore, we are pleased to raise our guidance for the year." First Quarter 2023 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $159.8 million, an increase of 6% compared with $150.2 million in the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was driven by merchant acquiring and payment processing Puerto Rico, which both benefited from increased transactions. Merchant acquiring revenue also reflected a higher spread per transaction and continues to benefit from pricing initiatives. Payments Puerto Rico continues to benefit from growth in ATH Movil revenues, primarily ATH Business, as we continue to experience higher transaction volumes as well as higher sales volume. Revenues also reflect the contribution from organic growth in our Payments LATAM segment, the positive impact from the tuck-in acquisition in Puerto Rico completed in the second quarter of 2022 and the revenue contribution from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions in LATAM completed in the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction in the third quarter of 2022. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $30.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, a decrease of $8.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, primarily attributable to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs. Additionally, the current quarter reflects an unrealized loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $4.9 million compared with an unrealized gain of $2.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $67.1 million, a decrease of $5.6 million when compared to the prior year quarter. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These non-cash unrealized gains and losses are non-operational in nature and we believe that excluding these will better present the overall financial performance of our core business, and help facilitate comparison with industry peers. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 42.0%, a decrease of approximately 640 basis points from the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses, as discussed above, and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction, which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $45.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million compared with $48.0 million, as recast, in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.69, an increase of $0.03 per diluted share compared to $0.66, as recast, in the prior year. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, the Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definitions of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. The increase was driven by the lower share count, which reflects the impact from the share repurchases completed in 2022 and the shares received as part of the Popular Transaction, and a lower adjusted tax rate in the quarter driven by certain jurisdictions in LATAM. Share Repurchase During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 187,976 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.35 per share for a total of $6.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, a total of approximately $72 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program. 2023 Outlook The Company is revising its financial outlook for 2023 as follows: Total consolidated revenue is now anticipated to be between $644 million and $652 million representing growth of approximately 4.1% to 5.4% growth, compared with $638 to $647 million previously estimated. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.59 to $2.68 representing approximately 2.4% to 6% growth as compared to $2.53 in 2022, as recast,, compared with $2.53 to $2.64 previously estimated. We continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $70 million. We continue to expect an effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this earnings release are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this earnings release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interest which is the 35% non-controlling equity interest in Evertec Colombia, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them.

Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

EVERTEC Reports First Quarter 2023 Results By: EVERTEC via Business Wire April 26, 2023 at 16:05 PM EDT Raises annual guidance EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. First Quarter 2023 Highlights Revenue increased 6% to $159.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders decreased 23% to $30.1 million and decreased 13% to $0.46 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $67.1 million and Adjusted earnings per common share increased 5% to $0.69 Share repurchases totaled $6.3 million Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are encouraged by the strong results in the first quarter, which demonstrate the strength of our business model in both Puerto Rico and Latin America, therefore, we are pleased to raise our guidance for the year." First Quarter 2023 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $159.8 million, an increase of 6% compared with $150.2 million in the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was driven by merchant acquiring and payment processing Puerto Rico, which both benefited from increased transactions. Merchant acquiring revenue also reflected a higher spread per transaction and continues to benefit from pricing initiatives. Payments Puerto Rico continues to benefit from growth in ATH Movil revenues, primarily ATH Business, as we continue to experience higher transaction volumes as well as higher sales volume. Revenues also reflect the contribution from organic growth in our Payments LATAM segment, the positive impact from the tuck-in acquisition in Puerto Rico completed in the second quarter of 2022 and the revenue contribution from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions in LATAM completed in the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction in the third quarter of 2022. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $30.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, a decrease of $8.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, primarily attributable to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs. Additionally, the current quarter reflects an unrealized loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $4.9 million compared with an unrealized gain of $2.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $67.1 million, a decrease of $5.6 million when compared to the prior year quarter. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These non-cash unrealized gains and losses are non-operational in nature and we believe that excluding these will better present the overall financial performance of our core business, and help facilitate comparison with industry peers. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 42.0%, a decrease of approximately 640 basis points from the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses, as discussed above, and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction, which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $45.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million compared with $48.0 million, as recast, in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.69, an increase of $0.03 per diluted share compared to $0.66, as recast, in the prior year. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, the Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definitions of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. The increase was driven by the lower share count, which reflects the impact from the share repurchases completed in 2022 and the shares received as part of the Popular Transaction, and a lower adjusted tax rate in the quarter driven by certain jurisdictions in LATAM. Share Repurchase During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 187,976 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.35 per share for a total of $6.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, a total of approximately $72 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program. 2023 Outlook The Company is revising its financial outlook for 2023 as follows: Total consolidated revenue is now anticipated to be between $644 million and $652 million representing growth of approximately 4.1% to 5.4% growth, compared with $638 to $647 million previously estimated. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.59 to $2.68 representing approximately 2.4% to 6% growth as compared to $2.53 in 2022, as recast,, compared with $2.53 to $2.64 previously estimated. We continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $70 million. We continue to expect an effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this earnings release are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this earnings release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interest which is the 35% non-controlling equity interest in Evertec Colombia, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them.

Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law.

EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. First Quarter 2023 Highlights Revenue increased 6% to $159.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders decreased 23% to $30.1 million and decreased 13% to $0.46 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $67.1 million and Adjusted earnings per common share increased 5% to $0.69 Share repurchases totaled $6.3 million Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are encouraged by the strong results in the first quarter, which demonstrate the strength of our business model in both Puerto Rico and Latin America, therefore, we are pleased to raise our guidance for the year." First Quarter 2023 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $159.8 million, an increase of 6% compared with $150.2 million in the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was driven by merchant acquiring and payment processing Puerto Rico, which both benefited from increased transactions. Merchant acquiring revenue also reflected a higher spread per transaction and continues to benefit from pricing initiatives. Payments Puerto Rico continues to benefit from growth in ATH Movil revenues, primarily ATH Business, as we continue to experience higher transaction volumes as well as higher sales volume. Revenues also reflect the contribution from organic growth in our Payments LATAM segment, the positive impact from the tuck-in acquisition in Puerto Rico completed in the second quarter of 2022 and the revenue contribution from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions in LATAM completed in the third quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction in the third quarter of 2022. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $30.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, a decrease of $8.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, primarily attributable to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR and paySmart acquisitions, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs. Additionally, the current quarter reflects an unrealized loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $4.9 million compared with an unrealized gain of $2.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $67.1 million, a decrease of $5.6 million when compared to the prior year quarter. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company modified the manner in which it calculates Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share to exclude the impact of unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These non-cash unrealized gains and losses are non-operational in nature and we believe that excluding these will better present the overall financial performance of our core business, and help facilitate comparison with industry peers. The Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 42.0%, a decrease of approximately 640 basis points from the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses, as discussed above, and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction, which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $45.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million compared with $48.0 million, as recast, in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.69, an increase of $0.03 per diluted share compared to $0.66, as recast, in the prior year. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, the Company has recast prior periods to conform with the modified definitions of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. The increase was driven by the lower share count, which reflects the impact from the share repurchases completed in 2022 and the shares received as part of the Popular Transaction, and a lower adjusted tax rate in the quarter driven by certain jurisdictions in LATAM. Share Repurchase During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 187,976 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.35 per share for a total of $6.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, a total of approximately $72 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program. 2023 Outlook The Company is revising its financial outlook for 2023 as follows: Total consolidated revenue is now anticipated to be between $644 million and $652 million representing growth of approximately 4.1% to 5.4% growth, compared with $638 to $647 million previously estimated. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.59 to $2.68 representing approximately 2.4% to 6% growth as compared to $2.53 in 2022, as recast,, compared with $2.53 to $2.64 previously estimated. We continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $70 million. We continue to expect an effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this earnings release are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this earnings release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interest which is the 35% non-controlling equity interest in Evertec Colombia, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them.

Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law.
