Each card carries a disclosed-size chip (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — how large the exposure is as a share of revenue, not how dangerous it is) and a nature tag: Built-in(the company’s own model, geography, or products) or Outside party (an external customer, supplier, or distributor it relies on).
“10-K Item 1A: 'if we were precluded from processing Visa and Mastercard electronic payments, we would lose substantially all of our payments-related revenues'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'If our processing services agreement with Payroc is terminated and we are not able to enter into replacement processing relationship with another party'”
i3 Verticals' concentration risk centers on two counterparty dependencies of different scale. The larger is network-level: if the company were precluded from processing Visa and Mastercard electronic payments, it would lose substantially all of its payments-related revenues — a high-scale dependency on continued access to the card networks. The second is a specific processing agreement with Payroc; if that agreement were terminated and i3 Verticals were unable to enter into a replacement processing relationship with another party, the business would be affected, a moderate-scale exposure. These two risks are related but distinct. The network dependency is closer to a structural feature of operating in the payments industry — nearly every payments company relies on Visa/Mastercard access, so this risk is shared across the sector rather than unique to i3 Verticals. The Payroc relationship, by contrast, is a more idiosyncratic, replaceable dependency: the filing itself frames the risk in terms of whether a replacement processing relationship could be found, implying the exposure is manageable if handled proactively. The card-network access issue is the one that would matter most if it ever came into question, given its larger disclosed scale.
