Segment Realignment

Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Deluxe Corporation (the "Company") reorganized its reportable business segments to align with changes in its organizational structure that better reflect its portfolio mix and offerings. As further described under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company's new reportable segments are Merchant Services, B2B Payments, Data Solutions and Print.

Supplemental Financial Information

Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes unaudited, recast financial information under the new segment structure relative to business segment revenue and adjusted EBITDA for fiscal years 2023 and 2022 and quarterly information for each of the quarters within fiscal year 2023. The Company did not operate under the new segment structure during these periods. The methodology utilized to determine segment operating performance did not change, and information regarding this methodology is provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The recasting of previously issued financial information does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements and does not affect the Company's reported net income, earnings per share, total assets or shareholders' equity for any of the previously reported periods, nor does it reflect any subsequent information or event, other than as required to reflect the segment reorganization described above.

The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
