DELUXE CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements are included. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any items discussed in the notes below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The consolidated financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the 2021 Form 10-K).

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions.

Comparability The consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 has been modified to conform to the current year presentation. We presented payments for cloud computing arrangement implementation costs separately within cash flows from operating activities. Previously, this amount was included in other non-current assets. Also, we included purchases of and proceeds from customer funds marketable securities within other investing activities. Previously, these amounts were presented separately.


NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The standard modifies the accounting for troubled debt restructurings by creditors and modifies certain disclosure requirements. The guidance will be applied prospectively, with the exception of the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings, for which we may elect to apply a modified retrospective transition method. The standard is effective for us on January 1, 2023, and we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
