Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

As described in the Deluxe Corporation Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company reorganized its reportable business segments, effective January 1, 2020, to align with structural and management reporting changes in support of its growth strategy. The Company now operates 4 reportable business segments: Payments, Cloud Solutions, Promotional Solutions and Checks.

Exhibit 99.1 includes a reconciliation of total segment adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes. The Company did not operate under this structure during any of these prior periods. The information presented in Exhibit 99.1 is consistent with the segment results reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280.
