Item 1. Business

Overview

EverCommerce is simplifying and empowering the lives of business owners whose services support us every day. We provide tailored, integrated Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions that support the highly diverse workflows and customer interactions that professionals in home services, health services, and wellness services need to automate manual processes, generate new business, and create more loyal customers.

EverCommerce is a leading provider of integrated, vertically-tailored SaaS solutions for service-based small- and medium-sized businesses (“service SMBs”). Our platform spans across the full lifecycle of interactions between consumers and service professionals with vertical-specific applications. As of December 31, 2025, we served more than 745,000 customers across three core verticals: EverPro for Home Services; EverHealth for Health Services; and EverWell for Wellness Services. Within our core verticals, our customers operate within numerous micro-verticals, ranging from home service professionals, such as home improvement contractors and home maintenance technicians, to physician practices and therapists within Health Services, and salon owners within Wellness. Our platform provides vertically-tailored SaaS solutions that address service SMBs’ increasingly specialized demands, as well as highly complementary solutions that provide fully-integrated offerings, allowing service SMBs and EverCommerce to succeed in the market, and provide end consumers more convenient service experiences. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we estimate that approximately 93% of our customers contributed less than $2 thousand in revenue and approximately 3% contributed more than $5 thousand in revenue.

On October 31, 2025, we completed the sale of our marketing technology solutions business to Ignite Visibility as part of our previously announced strategic review (see “Note 3. Acquisition and Dispositions” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). Marketing technology solutions qualified as discontinued operations and is presented accordingly in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented through the applicable date of the sale.

On September 15, 2025, we acquired 100% of the interest of Joblyt LLC, dba ZyraTalk (“ZyraTalk”), an AI-powered customer engagement solution that combines virtual assistant capabilities with an agentic automation platform (see “Note 3. Acquisition and Dispositions” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). The acquisition helps to establish EverCommerce as an AI-driven innovator, beginning with near-term application in its Home Services vertical, EverPro, and we plan to extend ZyraTalk into broader opportunities across our other verticals.

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into definitive sale and purchase agreements to sell our fitness solutions to Jonas Fitness Portfolio Holdco Inc. (“Jonas Software”) (see “Note 3. Acquisition and Dispositions” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). The sale of American Service Finance LLC., ASF Payment Solutions ULC and Technique Fitness Inc. (collectively, “North American Fitness”), closed simultaneous with signing. The sale of EverCommerce UK, including wholly-owned subsidiaries Fitii UK (MyPTHub and MyPTHub LLC) and ClubWise UK and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClubWise Australia (collectively, “UK Fitness” and together with North American Fitness, “Fitness Solutions”), closed on July 1, 2024.

Small- and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) are an important engine for economic growth. Collectively, in 2025 SMBs represented the single largest employer and employee category in the U.S. economy, accounting for 99.9% of businesses in the United States, 46% of the U.S. private workforce and over 44% of U.S. GDP. The services sector is the backbone of the U.S. economy, representing approximately 78% of U.S. GDP and 79% of U.S. employment. Service businesses are the largest segment of the SMB market, employing approximately 60 million people in the U.S. alone.

Today, service SMBs are accelerating their adoption of digital technologies to increase growth, drive efficiencies and enhance customer engagement. At the same time, their technology needs are becoming increasingly specialized as they adapt their businesses to better compete and align with evolving consumer preferences. However, service SMBs typically lack available resources to invest in and support expensive enterprise technology solutions and often rely on little-to-no technology. When technology is used, it is often a fragmented set of point solutions with insufficient integrated capabilities to support the complete service lifecycle.

Since inception, we have taken a differentiated approach from other software providers. We recognize that all service SMBs require solutions that enable them to perform three key functions: (i) acquire new customers and generate new business opportunities; (ii) manage and scale business operations; and (iii) improve and expand on customer relationships. However, services SMBs require functionality specific to their vertical market because the workflows vary by vertical. For example, the business management requirements of home services contractors are different than the business management requirements of small physician practices. As a result, we have built a comprehensive platform designed specifically to meet the unique integrated workflow needs of service SMBs. Our integrated solutions include Business Management Software (such as route-based dispatching and medical practice management), Billing & Payment Solutions (such as e-invoicing, mobile payments and integrated payment processing), and Customer Experience

I-1

Solutions (such as reputation management and messaging solutions). These solutions help our customers address the challenges posed by legacy solutions by providing software that addresses the complete customer engagement workflow, streamlining front- and back-office processes, driving new sales and retention, enabling deeper performance insights and improving customer experiences with digital, mobile-friendly engagement.

We go to market with suites of solutions that are aligned to our three core verticals. Within each suite, our Business Management Software – the system of action at the center of a service business’ operation –is typically the first solution adopted by a customer. This vertically-tailored point-of-entry provides us with an opportunity to cross-sell adjacent products, previously offered as fragmented and disjointed point solutions by other software providers. This “land and expand” strategy allows us to acquire customers with key foundational solutions, expand into offerings via product development (“build”) and acquisitions (“buy”) that integrate their workflows, fill gaps in the solutions value chain and power the full scope of our customers’ businesses. This results in a self-reinforcing flywheel effect, enabling us to drive more value for our customers and, in turn, fuel our growth by increasing Average Revenue per Unit (“ARPU”), improving customer stickiness and increasing our market share.

Our revenue from continuing operations has grown at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 7.1% from 2022 to 2025, and reached $588.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, up from $562.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents revenue growth of 4.8% from 2024 to 2025. Our net income from continuing operations was $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations reached $180.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, up from $164.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Moreover, our business benefits from attractive unit economics; we estimate the lifetime value of our customers to be approximately six times the cost of acquiring them. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) financial measure, information about why we consider Adjusted EBITDA useful and a discussion of the material risks and limitations of this measure, please see Part II. Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Business and Financial Metrics—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Key trends impacting our industry

Service SMBs are still in the early innings of transforming their businesses for the digital age. While most SMBs are using some digital tools to run their business, we estimate the penetration of fully-integrated, end-to-end software solutions like ours to be in the early innings. However, we believe that small businesses now generally view digitization as critical to long-term success. Similar to other industries that are going through major digital transformations – including education, life sciences, public sector, real estate and banking – we believe a number of trends are contributing to the adoption of modern, vertically-tailored software solutions for service SMBs. EverCommerce is operating at the center of many of these trends, including:

•Accelerating adoption of digital technologies. Consumers’ preferences for digital experiences have accelerated in recent years. At the same time, new digital solutions are emerging to enable businesses to increase growth, drive efficiencies and enhance customer engagement. Together, these trends are contributing to the accelerating adoption of digital technologies.

•Increasingly vertical- and micro vertical-specific software needs. SMBs across verticals are specializing in order to better compete and align with end-customer preferences, which has resulted in a greater need for vertically-tailored software solutions to address micro-vertical specific workflows.

•Digital payments. Digital payment processing solution adoption continues to expand within our core SMB customer base. Eight years ago, we estimated that less than 50% of SMBs in the United States had adopted digital payment processing solutions, and instead relied on paper invoices for payment. In the last couple of years, this has increased to nearly 80%, a trend that we expect to continue in the future. Integrated payments (e.g., digital payment acceptance that is embedded into the software that companies use to manage their businesses) have driven operating efficiencies for businesses and have improved payment security and tracking as compared to traditional paper methods.

•Mobile enablement. Due in large part to consumer demand and purchasing habits, a substantial amount of commerce is now conducted via a mobile device, whether through a standalone mobile application or as an integrated, companion application to a broader web-based software. Mobile commerce is estimated to represent approximately 60% of dollars spent online, with growth rapidly outpacing other forms of eCommerce. Within the service economy in particular, home service, wellness and other professionals are often on-the-go, making mobile functionality of paramount importance.

•Artificial Intelligence. The adoption of artificial intelligence (“AI”) is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. It has shifted from emerging technology to an essential tool for SMBs helping support strategic initiatives to fuel growth and drive operational efficiency while delivering a positive customer experience. SMBs are interested in leveraging the power of AI to automate customer tasks and drive additional insight-based actions to stay competitive and drive value for their customers.

I-2

The AI landscape for SMBs will continue to shift its focus from simple chat prompts to agentic AI that provide autonomous workflows that can plan, reason and take action with limited supervision.

•Customer experience. With the confluence of changing consumer preferences towards digital and a younger, more tech-savvy generation of business owners taking seat, businesses are increasingly looking to upgrade and streamline how they engage with their customers.

•Decreasing barriers to software adoption. Given their size and resource capabilities, SMBs generally require lower priced and easier-to-implement technology solutions than larger-scale enterprise businesses. As a result of the innovations in cloud technology and the proliferation of SaaS, today’s solutions are more affordable and easier for SMBs to implement than ever before. According to Cisco, cloud solutions are one of the top three areas for near-term technology investment for small businesses.

Limitations of existing approaches

Historically, service SMBs have not heavily relied on technology to manage key workflows, but they are increasingly turning to software solutions to streamline operations and boost efficiency. However, the offerings available in the market often fail to meet the needs of today’s service SMBs, and have some or all of the following limitations:

•Lacking vertical-specific functionality. Traditional technology companies offer broad, horizontal solutions that apply a “one-size-fits-all” approach and aim to solve functional challenges across different verticals. For service SMBs, these solutions have an excess of broad functionality but lack the vertical specialization required in specific verticals.

•Sold as point solutions. Existing solutions typically address a single application, use case or stage of a broader customer engagement workflow. These solutions lack the necessary integration of business data and operational workflows that service SMBs need to execute integrated processes. Moreover, they limit visibility into business performance and businesses’ ability to optimize data gathered across various processes.

•Built on inflexible, legacy technology infrastructure. Existing solutions are often built on legacy, on-premise infrastructure. These technologies lack the flexibility and scalability required by today’s service SMBs, and are not customizable to meet individual customers’ needs.

•Cost and resource-intensive. Service SMBs are generally price-sensitive and have limited resources. Existing software solutions often require significant capital, time and technical resources to implement, inhibiting faster adoption. Moreover, it is difficult for service SMBs to maintain these solutions and roll out new versions and add-on features without significant time and resources.

Our market opportunity

We believe our solutions address a massive market opportunity today. We estimate the total number of service SMBs, which represent service-based businesses with 500 or fewer employees, was approximately 456 million globally in 2023, of which 35 million were in North America.

We estimate the total addressable market (“TAM”) for our current solutions was approximately $1.6 trillion globally in 2023, of which approximately $662 billion was in North America, which refers to the United States and Canada. Of the $662 billion, we estimate a $69 billion opportunity in Home Services, a $115 billion opportunity in Health Services, a $22 billion opportunity in Wellness Services and a $456 billion opportunity in other services categories. We believe there is considerable runway for long-term growth given we believe the vast majority of our market opportunity is untapped.

We arrive at the TAM by estimating the number of service SMBs, multiplying by the list price of the solutions we provide, and making regional adjustments for the number of firms that could pay the listed price.

Our TAM also includes our payments opportunity, which we arrive at by estimating total revenue across our vertical segments and multiplying by both pricing and penetration estimates.

We believe there are multiple sources of upside to our current TAM. As the number of service SMBs grow, as we develop or acquire complementary solutions, and as we enter new geographies, our market opportunity will expand.

Our solutions

We offer several vertically-tailored suites of solutions, each of which follows a similar and repeatable go-to-market playbook: offer a “system of action” Business Management Software that streamlines daily business workflows, integrate highly complementary, value-add adjacent solutions and complete gaps in the value chain to create integrated solutions. These solutions provide value to service SMBs by improving their ability to market their services, streamline operations and retain and engage their customers.

•Business Management Software: Our vertically-tailored Business Management Software is the system of action at the center of a service business’ operation, and is typically the point-of-entry and first solution adopted by a customer. Our software, designed to meet the day-to-day workflow needs of businesses in specific vertical end markets, streamlines front and back-office processes and provides polished customer-facing experiences. Using these offerings, service SMBs can deliver their services, streamline operations and focus on growing their customers.

•Billing & Payment Solutions: Our Billing & Payment Solutions provide integrated payments, billing and invoicing automation and business intelligence and analytics. Our omni-channel payments capabilities include point-of-sale, eCommerce, online bill payments, recurring billing, electronic invoicing and mobile payments. Supported payment types include credit card, debit card and Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) processing. Based on the monthly average processing volume for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we estimate that we process annualized total volume of $13.0 billion. We

I-4

further estimate that, based on our current customers and payment volumes, we have an aggregate annualized payment processing opportunity in excess of $100 billion. Our payments platform also provides a full suite of service commerce features, including customer management as well as cash flow reporting and analytics. These value-add features help SMBs to ensure more timely billing and payments collection and provide improved cash flow visibility.

•Customer Experience Solutions: Our Customer Experience Solutions modernize how businesses engage and interact with customers by leveraging innovative, bespoke customer listening and communication solutions to improve the customer experience and increase retention. Our software provides customer listening capabilities with real-time customer surveying and analysis to allow standalone businesses and multi-location brands to receive Voice of Customer (“VoC”) insights and manage the customer experience lifecycle. These applications include: customer health scoring, customer support systems, real-time alerts, Net Promoter Score (“NPS”)-based customer feedback collection, review generation and automation, reputation management, customer satisfaction surveying and a digital communication suite, among others. Additionally, the recent acquisition of ZyraTalk provides virtual assistant capabilities with an agentic automation platform. ZyraTalk offers production-ready fully autonomous AI agents and field service management systems designed for seamless integration across our Home Services solutions and improving the overall prospect and customer experience. Collectively, these tools help our customers gain actionable insights, increase customer loyalty and repeat purchases and improve customer experiences.

Our verticals

Our solutions, many of which we believe are market leaders in their industries, are deployed in verticals that are comprised of numerous micro-verticals, which through product development and new solution acquisition, offer natural growth opportunities for EverCommerce. We currently go to market with three distinct, vertically-tailored, integrated SaaS solution suites:

•EverPro – Home Services: Our EverPro solutions are purpose-built for home service professionals, with varying specialized functionality for micro-verticals. For home improvement and field service professionals, project management and field service management applications serve as their business systems of action, respectively. Professionals in this market rely significantly on driving business from residential homeowners, and thus value tailored solutions that capture and manage lead generation from those end consumers. Ranging from professionals across residential home improvement and remodeling, and field services, to security and alarm professionals across residential installation and monitoring, central stations, corporate and campus planning and government, our EverPro solutions are designed to serve the specific needs of the professionals in these home improvement and field services sub-markets.

•EverHealth – Health Services: Our EverHealth solutions are purpose-built for health service professionals. The Health Services market is rooted in a group of core solutions, including practice management and electronic health record (“EHR”) / electronic medical record (“EMR”) software. We offer different types and scales of solutions for micro-verticals, including small group and specialty practices, behavioral health professionals, specialty branches of hospital systems, ambulatory services, urgent care and EMT and physical, occupational and speech therapists, among others. We believe that our patient and provider engagement solutions position us well to benefit from major industry trends such as the digitalization of front-office operations and patient engagement.

I-5

•EverWell – Wellness: Our EverWell solutions are purpose-built for Wellness service professionals. The Wellness market includes tech-savvy businesses which generally require integrated solutions that provide modern, convenient experiences for end consumers. Consumer-facing scheduling and facility access solutions are “must-have” software capabilities for spas and salons. In addition, adjacent solutions in relationship management and inventory management are increasingly needed to support a seamless, value-add consumer experience. Our EverWell solutions are built specifically for wellness professionals, which include salons, spas and massage therapists.

We offer select solutions to customers in other services verticals, including education, non-profit, pet care and automotive repair, among many others.

Why we win

We believe that our offerings deliver tremendous value to our customers and are differentiated by the following qualities:

•Tailored, vertical-specific approach. We are exclusively focused on providing service SMBs with tailored solutions to help meet their specific needs. Our vertical and micro-vertical approach enables us to provide tailored solutions featuring critical

I-6

vertical-specific functionality that better serves our customers when compared to industry-agnostic solutions offered by other businesses.

•Integrated solutions. Our business management software integrates solutions across the full range of our customers’ workflows (including internal and back-office functions and customer-facing services such as integrated payments and billing and invoicing automation), simplifying their operations and providing a frictionless experience when compared to disjointed point solutions offered by other software businesses.

•SaaS-based solutions. Our scalable and flexible SaaS solutions alleviate resource needs associated with implementing and managing costly on-premise infrastructure, which simplifies the management of distributed workforces, enhances operational simplicity, and provides continuous delivery of updates and upgrades to our solutions.

•Mobile capabilities. Our SaaS, web-based and mobile solutions enable business owners, administrators and in-the-field service professionals to access schedules, customer accounts and business performance analytics, among other critical features, wherever they are. In addition, our native mobile applications provide in-depth service delivery functionality for technicians and service professionals in-the-field, even out of cellular or wireless network areas.

•Exceptional digital experiences. Our customers’ use of our offerings allows them to deliver exceptional digital experiences to consumers across multiple channels, enhancing engagement, retention and loyalty. For example, our customers can use our technology to develop modern touchpoints for consumers such as online scheduling, appointment reminders, online customer portals, online and mobile payments, SMS text updates, email updates and consumer-facing mobile applications.

•Cost- and resource-efficient. SMBs are generally price-sensitive and resource-constrained, however legacy software solutions are often too expensive to adopt. Our solutions are affordable and easy to implement, and our customers benefit from our strong customer service capabilities, enabling them to optimize their use of digital solutions without significant financial or resource burden.

•Customer-driven innovation. The insight we gain into our approximately 745,000 customers’ use of our offerings informs our product pipeline, allowing us to constantly refine existing solutions and deliver new solutions that are most valuable to them.

Our growth strategies

We are focused on growing and scaling our business in a rapid, yet sustainable and disciplined fashion. We intend to drive significant growth by executing the following key strategies:

•Attract new customers: We believe that there is a significant opportunity to attract new customers with our current offerings and within the market segments in which we currently operate. We estimate that there are over 35 million service SMBs in North America alone, and 456 million globally. Our current verticals and adjacent markets in the service economy are highly fragmented. By improving the awareness of our brands and solutions, we believe that we can increase penetration and sell our complete value chain of solutions to service SMB customers. Through acquisitions and organic growth of our business, the number of customers on our platform increased from approximately 110,000 at the end of 2018 to approximately 745,000 at the end of 2025.

•Expand ARPU and margin: Today, we serve approximately 745,000 customers, which represent a significant opportunity for growth. As we become more embedded in our customers’ daily business operations, we are better positioned to add value by cross-selling and up-selling adjacent solutions. As we continue to develop, acquire and transform our solutions, we aim to continue adding value to our customers by displacing point-solution competitors and legacy, manual methods with our integrated digital offerings, increasing our ARPU and improving customer experience and retention. A primary focus for ARPU expansion focuses on cross-selling payments solutions to customers in an effort to prioritize margin growth. The acquisition of ZyraTalk helps to establish our position as an AI-driven innovator with many in-production features that are being sold to third-party customers. We plan to add more innovative features and offerings to support our customers, beginning with integration into many EverPro systems of action with additional use cases across our other verticals. These AI capabilities are intended to provide full end-to-end automation, enhancing the value of our products to our customers.

•Expand into new products: Given our position in the service SMB ecosystem, as well as our relationships and level of entrenchment with our customers, we use insights gained through our customer lifecycle to identify additional solutions that are value-additive for our customers. These insights allow us to continually assess opportunities to develop or acquire solutions to further expand market share, drive customer stickiness and fuel growth for our business. During 2023, we introduced EverPro Edge, which allows customers to save, learn and grow, and creates a universal channel and trusted brand

I-7

for engagement, Edge is an expansion opportunity enabling customers to receive targeted business growth and education content, as well as cash-back rebates on supplies they purchase at leading vendors.

In conjunction with the strategies cited above, we also acquire solutions to accelerate our position as a market leader, fill gaps within our vertically tailored solutions, deepen our competitive moats in existing verticals and enter new verticals and geographies. We have an established framework for identification, execution, integration and onboarding of targets. These acquired solutions bring deep industry expertise and vertically-tailored software solutions that provide additional sources of growth. We believe that our methodology, track record and reputation for sourcing, evaluating and integrating acquisitions positions us as an “acquirer-of-choice” for potential targets. We have acquired 54 companies since our inception and will continue to opportunistically look at potential acquisitions, primarily across our core verticals. In addition, from time to time, we evaluate our positioning with respect to our existing verticals and may determine to dispose of offerings that do not align with our growth initiatives. For example, in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we sold marketing technology solutions and Fitness Solutions, respectively, as described above.

Our customers

We define a customer as an individual or entity that utilized or was capable of utilizing an EverCommerce solution or service for which they paid any one or combination of recurring, re-occurring or transactional fees in a given period. For solutions contracting with entities that service groups of customers, for example franchises or other multi-location businesses, the customer is counted at the level of the individual business utilizing the solution.

We serve a wide range of customers across various verticals, micro-verticals, geographies and sizes. We believe the customers that we serve are representative of the highly diverse and varied nature of the SMB service economy. Our customers provide expert services which, in turn, play a critical role in supporting the everyday lives of millions of end consumers – for their homes, their health and their well-being.

Our VerticalsVertical BrandsMicro-vertical Examples
Home ServicesEverProHVAC/plumbing, electrical professionals, remodeling and home improvement contractors, window and door replacement specialties, landscaping design services, security and alarm installation and monitoring businesses, pest control

Our product strategy

Our product strategy and management organization develops an in-depth understanding of the customer and their varied workflow needs across our target industries and focuses on strategies to deliver an integrated value chain to our customers. The product strategy and management organization partners closely with our marketing, sales and customer teams to hear market insights and VoC feedback to improve retention and wallet expansion, build stronger integrations between solutions and pursue adjacent market penetration opportunities.

Our go-to-market

Our go-to-market organization includes our vertically-focused marketing, business development, sales and customer success functions who align to build positive customer experiences across the business. These teams drive scalable and efficient organic growth in three key areas: new customer acquisition, wallet share expansion and go-to-market of acquired or built products. Our teams relentlessly test and measure results to expand channels, optimize go-to-market, increase sales conversion, identify customer upsell opportunities and explore adjacent expansion verticals. Through this targeted, coordinated approach, we maximize expert resource allocation and allow for growth programs of scale with attractive customer unit economics across our business.

Our people, culture and values

We consider our people and culture to be vital to our success. We place a high level of emphasis on the relationships we have with our people, their engagement and commitment to the organization. Our fundamental belief is that when a company has a strong relationship with its employees, they in turn deliver exceptional customer service and in turn that delivers strong business performance. We have seen and believe our inclusive and innovative workforce is and will continue to be a competitive advantage. We plan to continue to make investment in our human capital a priority.

We believe in and prioritize inclusivity and employee engagement in our workplace and aim to behave in a manner where these values are the underpinnings of how we build programs and support the growth and development of our people. We aggressively manage and measure our identification, selection, retention, growth and development of our current and future employees. We have a robust methodology that enables us to successfully and with a high level of engagement, integrate individuals into our organization. While we believe inclusivity is important to our long-term value and performance, we recognize the importance of pursuing so in legally sound manners. Inclusivity efforts are part of our legal compliance considerations, and we are committed to only rewarding legally compliant methods for advancing such efforts. We are committed to not making employment (including hiring, promotion, and compensation) or other contracting decisions on the basis of legally protected characteristics, except to the extent required or permitted by law.

Our human-first culture has been built upon our values and they are a critical part of how we behave, lead and engage with our people. Our values reflect who EverCommerce is and serve as our guiding force on how we plan to achieve our organizational objectives.

In addition to providing continuous learning, autonomy and engaging work, we provide a series of competitive benefits, including health insurance for employees and dependents, a 401k match, paid parental leave and flexible time off. We allot over 14,000 hours per year for our employees to volunteer for causes that are important to them. Within the tight-knit culture we have built and sustained, we celebrate our people and their successes with company events, team building activities and other important benefits. We invest in continuous growth and development with training and education and we provide career opportunities for people to continue to stretch their strengths and capabilities. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,800 employees operating across five countries, including approximately 1,400 employees located in the United States.

Our technology

Our SaaS solutions are strategically integrated to best serve our service SMB customers and ensure they have all the tools to help them grow and scale. We leverage a common set of best practices, IT infrastructure and architectures that serve as a foundation for highly scalable and secure software solutions.

Key areas and features of our strategy and operations that serve as a foundation to our technology approach include:

•Software development: Our software teams use best-in-class technologies and practices to develop our SaaS, mobile and (in selected situations) on-premise solutions. Our software is purpose-built to meet the specific needs of the industries we serve.

•Tech and IT shared services: Our technology platforms provides a consistent approach to software development, as well as cloud engineering and data center migration. Our IT administration allows for 24-hour support for all our people and platforms worldwide.

•Shared infrastructure: We systematically upgrade our data centers, centralize our collaboration platforms onto Office 365 and deploy a variety of standardized third-party software products sourced through EverCommerce.

•Cybersecurity: Our Security Operations team uses industry best practices and functional expertise to perform regular risk assessments, audits and remediation across our IT infrastructure and the data we maintain therein. Our security efforts also include incident prevention, incident response, monitoring, scanning and alerting.

•Offshore development team: Our software is primarily developed utilizing both internal and independent firms; including contractors in the United States and internationally to perform some of our product development activities.

Data privacy and security

Regulators around the world have adopted or proposed laws, regulations, standards and requirements regarding the collection, use, transfer, security, storage, destruction and other processing of personal data. These laws are increasing in number and complexity, resulting in higher risk of enforcement, fines and other penalties. Our privacy and legal teams are committed to processing and fulfilling any requests regarding the exercise of an individual’s privacy rights with respect to personal information.

In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws and consumer protection laws govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information. Our consumer transactions business is now, or may in the future be, subject to certain financial services laws, regulations and rules, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the National Automated Clearing House Association ACH Rules, and our healthcare services businesses are subject to certain healthcare security and privacy laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “HIPAA”) in the United States. Certain foreign laws also govern the privacy and security of personal data. For example, we may be subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and Personal Health Information Protection Act (“PHIPA”) in Canada. Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.

Healthcare regulatory matters

Our business operates in the healthcare space, and as such is affected by changes in healthcare laws, regulations and industry standards. The healthcare industry is highly regulated and subject to frequently changing political, legislative, regulatory and other influences. We are subject, either directly or through our customers, to a number of federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations that involve matters central to our Health Services business. Failure to satisfy those legal and regulatory requirements, or the adoption of new laws or regulations that impact our business or our customers, could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. For additional information regarding potential risks relating to compliance with healthcare laws and regulations, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors – The healthcare industry is heavily regulated at the local, state and federal levels. Our failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us or our customers, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect our business.”

In addition to the potential for evolving laws and regulations, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain. These laws are enforced by federal, state and local regulatory agencies in the jurisdictions where we operate, and in some instances also through private civil litigation. Violation of any of such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply may result in penalties, including, without limitation, significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, additional reporting and/or compliance obligations to settle allegations of non-compliance, contractual damages, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs and imprisonment.

Intellectual property

Protecting our intellectual property and proprietary technology is an important aspect of our business and continued growth. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as written agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 115 registered trademarks in the United States (including EverCommerce), three registered trademarks in the EU (including the EverCommerce logo), two registered trademarks in Puerto Rico, four registered trademarks in Canada, 15 registered trademarks in New Zealand, six registered trademarks in Australia and four registered trademarks in the United Kingdom (including the EverCommerce logo); one trademark application in process in the United States and one trademark application in process in Canada; 37 registered copyrights in the United States and one registered copyright in Canada; and seven issued patents in the United States. We also have a portfolio of approximately 3,200 registered domain names for websites that we use in our business or that are registered defensively to protect our brands.

In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements and assignment of invention agreements with employees and contractors throughout our business, including those involved in the development of our proprietary intellectual property. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our customers, partners and third parties who have access to our confidential information.

While much of the intellectual property we use is owned by us, we have obtained rights to use intellectual property of third parties through licenses and service agreements with those third parties. Although we believe these licenses are sufficient for the operation of our business, these licenses typically limit our use of the third parties’ intellectual property to specific uses and for specific time periods.

We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Intellectual Property—We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce, and we may incur significant costs in enforcing or defending, our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.”
