Ben Errez

Management

Thank you, operator and thank you all for joining us today. I would like to welcome you to GreenBox POS third quarter 2021 financial results conference call. The third quarter of 2021 was instrumental in laying the foundation for the next phase of our company’s growth. We continue to make great strides in expanding our processing volume, which again, set a company record. We are incredibly proud to have crossed the $1 billion mark in processing volume for the first time and reach over $1.4 billion year-to-date only 8 months after deploying our Generation 3 Rapid Scale Technology. The financial payment industry is racing towards digital currency adoption. And GreenBox is building both the infrastructure and scale to play a key role as the backbone of payments and banking solutions globally. Armed with a strong balance sheet, including our recent cap salaries, we are well-positioned to continue to successfully execute on our acquisition strategy, while also expanding into the lucrative Stablecoin market with the upcoming spin-off of Coyni. I am grateful to GreenBox and Coyni teams for their dedication and our shareholders for their ongoing support. I’d like to walk through some of our key operational highlights. First, we continue to gain traction with our processing business and achieved another company record during the third quarter processing of over $540 million in transaction volume. This is nearly 14x our transaction volume in the same quarter last year prior to the launch of Generation 3. As we have processed over $1.4 billion and are on track to exceed our prior guidance of $1.85 billion for 2021, we expect this robust growth to continue both organically and through acquisitions of processing portfolios. In upcoming announcements, we will discuss particulars of any additional acquired portfolios. It’s worth noting that some of these portfolios…

Ben Chung

Management

Thank you, Ben. GreenBox continues to be in a financially healthy position at the end of the third quarter. We are very pleased to complete a $100 million financing through our convertible note offering. The additional capital allows us to fund the TEU acquisition secure additional accretive acquisitions, scale the custodial revolver that backs Coyni, our Stablecoin business and last but not least have additional capital to continue to develop our core blockchain-based payment technology. Before I go through our quarterly results, I would like to point out that we are a calendar year end company. Therefore, our third quarter of 2021 is for the 3 months ended September 30, 2021. I am now going to go through our quarter end results. We continue to be see solid growth – revenue growth due to increased processing volume with our merchants and we will continue to have growth in our processing volume throughout the year. Our net revenue for the 9 months ended September 30, 2021 was $19.1 million compared to $5.5 million in the prior year same period, an increase of $13.6 million due to strong processing volume. Our third quarter of 2021 quarter had net revenue of $8.0 million compared to $3.1 million in the prior year same quarter, which is an increase of $4.9 million or 166%, also primarily due to strong processing volume. Our processing volume for 9 months ended and for 3 months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1.4 billion and $540 million respectively, an increase of approximately $0.9 billion. We had a quarter-to-quarter increase in processing volume compared to Q2 2021 and Q3 2021, an increase of $74 million from $466 million in Q2 2021 to $540 million in Q3 2021. We expect continued quarter-to-quarter growth in the processing volume throughout the rest of…

Ben Errez

Management

Thank you, Ben. We are excited by tremendous opportunities that lie ahead and have demonstrated in a very short period, successful deployment of our technology and execution of our growth strategy. The stage is set and pieces are coming together quickly. We remain focused on our mission to secure our footprint in the lucrative $200 trillion digital payments market. We expect to continue and grow our processing volumes and exceed our initial 2021 guidance of $1.85 billion. Due to the timing and risk profile of customers on-boarding and acquisition closing, we now expect 2021 revenues of $28 million and adjusted net income of at least $8 million for the year. As we look out to 2022, we expect processing volumes to be at least $4.9 billion for the year assuming completion of acquisitions. Thank you for listening to today’s call and for your ongoing support and interest in GreenBox. With that, I will turn it over to the operator to begin the Q&A session. Operator?

Operator

[Operator Instructions] And we will take our first caller, Chris Sakai from Singular Research. Your line is open.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Hi, Ben. There is a couple of questions, I guess. Regarding the $500 million processing volume if you – can you break that out between different segments, ChargeSavvy, and Gen3?

Ben Errez

Management

Actually we don’t have that information in front of me and Ben Chung if you wanted to comment on that.

Ben Chung

Management

No, I don’t have any information in front of me either.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, great. And then as far as the recent financing, how close are you to an acquisition that could enhance your processing volume?

Ben Errez

Management

Okay. So, I will have to address that in the context of the material, public and non-public information. So, we have already discussed Transact Europe and we anticipate Transact Europe acquisition to close in the middle of December. We have an additional acquisition that we anticipate closing at approximately the same time with the set of licenses that will enhance our operations and inclusive of a processing portfolio in excess of $1 billion annually. And we also have additional opportunities that they have not yet been disclosed, that are significantly larger than the two I just mentioned. Both of the acquisitions that I call are going to be paid for by this raise that we just completed. And I will remind you that this raise is in terms that are amazingly accretive to the company and to the interest of its shareholders by providing a convert price that is in excess of 80% to market at $15 a share and substantiating a stipulated market price for GreenBox, our market cap in excess of the $700 million. And we are very excited about this capital. Some of it will be used for these acquisitions. Some of it will enhance the Coyni adoption, as discussed in this call, and the rest will be kept in reserve for the company.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, alright. Thanks. And then as far as the Coyni launch is concerned, I know it’s been – it seems like it’s been delayed several months. Do you have any idea, or can you provide us any color about that?

Ben Errez

Management

Sure. So, the Coyni deployment remains on track. So, we anticipate an IPO in the beginning of 2022, as we have stated before. There was no change in the launch procedure, or the dividend that will accompany that launch, or in the technology associated with it. In terms of the technology, we anticipate the release of the Coyni application very shortly and with the first phase covering the P2P or peer-to-peer capabilities. And later on, before the end of the year, it’s ability to participate as an NSP platform and also as a crypto to fiat transactions. The release of this technology will be done in at least two phases. And as I said with the first one of them a Venmo like peer-to-peer transactional application released very, very shortly.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, great. Can you provide any color on I guess, the City of Miami and Coyni. Is there anything that we could expect from that?

Ben Errez

Management

The office of Coyni in Miami has already been established. The Board of Directors is essentially the same as the one governing GreenBox. During this call I discussed the new CEO and Co-Founder that we hired for Coyni, Paul Levine. Miami is a great location for Stablecoin launch. The city is I guess, a crypto capital of the U.S. and the specific location, Brickell Avenue is crypto Main Street, USA. Our next door neighbors are Blockchain.com for example. We are looking forward to deploying in Miami right now and post IPO when Coyni is its own operating company. And I see very dramatic expansion for Coyni right off of the get-go both on in the capital markets with all of the shareholders that it will inherit from GreenBox by the way of the dividend and also by the way of commercial opportunities via the utilization and adoption that GreenBox laid out for the Stablecoin.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, great. Thanks, Ben. I will pass it along.

Ben Errez

Management

Thanks Chris.

Operator

Operator

[Operator Instructions] And it looks like Chris has a follow-up question. Chris, your line is opened again.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Right. Okay. Ben, any – can you provide any update on white label banking, any opportunities there?

Ben Errez

Management

Not at this time. The white label banking is expanding dramatically. Its capabilities are incredible. And we are considering several deployment banking partners for the initial launch of the white label banking. We think that especially since Coyni is such a material part of the white label banking platform, we think that the very dramatic push towards its adoption in the banking industry will come, because of its compliance status. Coyni has launched in anticipation of much deeper oversight, regulatory oversight, for example, by way of the compliance with its custodial architecture and its transactional properties including reversibility of transaction. Both of these properties are not yet offered by any stable or volatile coin today. So, we anticipate very speedy adoption for both Coyni and GreenBox on the banking front. I am sure this is something that we can revisit at the end of next quarter beginning of first quarter ‘22.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay. Thanks. Any updates on or color on Pfizer?

Ben Errez

Management

Yes. So, we have passed the final review and integration with the Pfizer. And the final step, which includes deploying specific encoded keys for GreenBox as a dedicated PaySec, right payment facilitator license on the Pfizer network is imminent. We see that is coming very shortly. And we will also push for specific disclosure both to SEC and NASDAQ and by way of PR as to the capabilities of this integration.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, any timeline there?

Ben Errez

Management

I don’t have a timeline, but I anticipate this being completed well before the end of the year.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, great. And last one, I guess for me. Do you have any – are you – how is the share repurchase plan going, is there – are you still repurchasing shares?

Ben Errez

Management

We do have an allocation of additional several million dollars dedicated for that. And yes, we anticipate continuing on that front.

Chris Sakai

Analyst

Okay, great. Well, thanks Ben.

Ben Errez

Management

Thank you.
