To Our Shareholders
We’re back on offense
We had a strong second quarter. Square GPV grew 10% year over year and Cash App
gross profit grew 16% year over year, accelerating as we exited Q2. Our focus on products that can drive network expansion is already paying off as we started rolling out Pools on Cash App in July, just four months after kicking off development
work. Our shipping velocity has accelerated and I’m confident in our ability to sustain strong growth at scale. As we head into Investor Day, I’ll share why we believe we have the best assets in the industry to deliver for our customers,
starting with Cash App and featuring Square next quarter.
Cash App’s unique
assets
Cash App is building the financial operating system for the next
generation. We want everyone to be able to run their financial lives on Cash App, and we are already seeing this happen at scale, especially with younger customers. Actives under the age of 25 have higher Paycheck Deposit attach rates and a 40%
higher Cash App Card attach rate compared to the rest of our customer base.1 Teens are central to our next-generation strategy and nearly 80% of parent - or guardian -
sponsored teen accounts have a Cash App Card.
The next generation relies
on Cash App because of the four key sets of capabilities we offer:
1. A scaled P2P network that connects customers to their local communities
2. A broad set of commerce tools that
help customers manage their spending
3. Deep banking functionality that supports customers saving, investing, borrowing, and more2
4. Simple tools that make it easy for customers to transact in bitcoin
Our long-term strategy is to expand the depth of our ecosystem across these
capabilities. We believe what we’ve launched, along with what we’ll soon release, provides a comprehensive set of financial tools that increasingly meets the needs of customers across the economic spectrum. And we believe we’re the
only company that can deliver a complete money hub to customers. As we continue to launch new products, we will increase our ability to make each part of Cash App strengthen the others.

1 A transacting active is a Cash App account that has at least one financial transaction using
any product or service within Cash App during a specified period. A transacting active for a specific Cash App product has at least one financial transaction using that product during the specified period and is referred to as an active. Examples of
transactions include sending or receiving a peer-to-peer payment, transferring money into or out of Cash App, making a purchase using Cash App Card, earning a dividend
on a stock investment, and paying back a loan, among others. Certain of these accounts may share an alias identifier with one or more other transacting active accounts. This could represent, among other things, one customer with multiple accounts or
multiple customers sharing one alias identifier (for example, families).

Peer to peer drives network density
At its core, Cash App is a community network. We’re focused on increasing network virality through P2P innovation, and over the past year we
processed $218 billion in P2P volume. We’re improving the P2P customer experience, increasing payments success rates, and improving search functionality to make it easier to find the connections you want to pay. And in July we introduced
Pools, a new P2P product that helps customers share group expenses with their communities. We plan to expand access to more customers — including people who aren’t on Cash App yet.
P2P remains the foundation of our network and our go-to-marketstrategy. It enables the vast majority of new actives to join Cash App organically, which leads to highly efficient customer acquisition costs per active — 1/10th the cost some of our competitors pay.
Commerce solutions help customers run their day-to-day financial
lives
Our commerce solutions span Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, Cash App Business, and a wide range of BNPL offerings across Afterpay and Cash
App. Together, these products form our commerce network, which drove $183 billion in spending volume over the past 12 months, growing 16% year over year, or 21% excluding Cash App Business.
We’ve launched Cash App Afterpay, including post-purchase BNPL and Pay in 4, and we’re bringing more Afterpay merchants into the Cash App
ecosystem through their existing Afterpay integrations. In July, we started making Offers on Cash App Card more personalized to help people save at the places they’re already shopping. We’re also focused on enabling customers to unlock
higher value rewards as they spend more on Cash App, and this fall, we expect to launch auto-selection of rewards to help people save effortlessly.
Connecting small businesses and consumers to strengthen local communities has always been a foundational goal of Block. We plan to take the next step
forward in this vision at our upcoming Square Releases event by expanding access to Cash Local. We’re building a set of tools that allow buyers to order ahead, earn rewards, and follow their favorite local businesses, all in Cash App. We expect
these tools, along with a suite of associated marketing features, will help sellers establish a deeper relationship with their customers. This will also reduce the need for small businesses to build their own mobile apps, giving them access to
digital capabilities that historically only large enterprise sellers could build.
Banking functionality to help customers build better
financial futures
We’ve redesigned the money tab to better surface our financial tools and bring more awareness to our banking
offerings. We’re also testing higher Borrow limits for paycheck deposit actives to drive increased conversion and incentivize millions of our most engaged customers to make Cash App their primary banking platform.8 Borrow origination volume grew 95% year over year in the second quarter to $18 billion on an annualized
basis,9 and we’re focused on finding more ways to use Borrow to drive deeper ecosystem engagement.
We remain focused on growing paycheck deposit actives. But we also know our narrow definition does not reflect the full population of people who view
Cash App as their primary bank, including independent wage earners and those who consider their primary bank to be where they spend their money, not where they get paid. We’re evolving our banking features to better serve more of our active
customers, starting with a test that offers banking benefits to anyone who spends at least $500 a month with their Cash App Card.
As of June, we
had 2.7 million paycheck deposit actives. If we define a banking customer based on how people use money in their everyday lives — depositing a paycheck or spending at least $500 per month across Cash App — we would have 8 million
banking actives, growing 16% year over year. And if we count anyone who deposits $200+ in paychecks or transacts 15+ times a month, we’d have ended June with 11 million banking actives, adding over 1 million actives in the past year.10 However you define it, our banking scale is significant, and we remain focused on deepening banking engagement so more of our customers spend, save, borrow, and invest with Cash
App.
8 A paycheck deposit active is a Cash App account that receives ACH inflows during a specified
period, but excludes tax refunds and ACH transfers.
9 Borrow origination volume is
calculated based on annualized Borrow originations during a given quarter.
10 References to spend or transactions across Cash App include Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, Cash App Afterpay, and ACH bill pay.

Making bitcoin everyday money
The next generation of consumers has a different relationship with money and wants the option to use bitcoin and other forms of payment as part of
their financial lives. For the last 8 years we’ve focused on making bitcoin more accessible — and we’ve delivered: millions of people have used Cash App to buy and sell over $58 billion in bitcoin. More recently, we’ve
increased withdrawal limits for bitcoin, giving Cash App actives more flexibility to use bitcoin to meet their needs. And in May, we showcased the ability for Square sellers to accept bitcoin, giving both sellers and Cash App consumers more ways to
manage their financial lives.
Our longstanding investment in bitcoin as a technology protocol represents a slow and steady conviction in a new
open, decentralized paradigm for payments that doesn’t rely on gatekeepers. No matter how our customers choose to pay and get paid in the future, Block will be ready.
Cash App is just getting started
$218 billion in P2P volume. $183 billion in commerce volume. $18 billion in annualized Borrow originations and millions of banking
actives. These numbers reflect the scale of our ecosystem and how we’re making Cash App a daily part of our customers’ lives. They also represent the trust millions of people place in us and our success in building the finance platform for
the next generation. We’re just getting started.

Business Highlights
Square
Sellers choose Square to help them grow and
run more profitable businesses. We’re launching new products to fulfill that purpose.
We launched our new Square Handheld in May in the
U.S. and have begun rolling it out in international markets, helping our sellers deliver a better customer experience, turn tables quicker, and run back office operations more efficiently. Product innovations like Square Handheld are gaining
recognition in the market. We showcased this device and other recent product launches at the National Restaurant Association in May, making it clear to sellers and partners that we are a leading technology provider in the food and beverage industry.
In the second quarter, we also launched Square AI to give sellers instant, data-driven answers to their business questions. Leveraging our AI
agent, codename goose, and powered by Square data, this tool is available directly in the Square Dashboard and it helps sellers work smarter and faster. Through a conversational interface, sellers can explore sales trends, top-selling items by time of day, customer spending patterns, and more. It’s the start of a broader push to bring powerful AI tools to our sellers.
We believe sellers should be able to take any form of payment that crosses the counter, and we’re connecting our ecosystems to make that a
reality. In the second quarter, we showcased bitcoin payments on Square, which will enable sellers to accept bitcoin directly through Square hardware for near-instantaneous, low-cost transactions that settle
in either bitcoin or local currency. We expect to begin rolling out this experience to millions of sellers in the second half of 2025.
As we
execute on our product roadmap, we are reaching more sellers.
Since hiring our first field sales team last November, we’ve seen strong
early returns and are increasing hiring through year-end to continue building on this momentum. We’ve also continued to scale our telesales team, maintaining strong ROI as we grow, and are encouraged by
growth trends as we invest in sales across international markets. We’re empowering our sales team to sell Square upmarket, and our product is resonating with larger sellers.
We’re focused on winning the quick-service restaurant market and have rolled out new products and features for these sellers. We signed a number
of new upmarket sellers including Colectivo Coffee, a coffee shop with more than 20 locations in the Midwest that partners closely with coffee farmers and cooperatives around the world. They chose Square due to our ability to integrate directly into
their custom app. We also signed Shane’s Rib Shack, an American fast-casual BBQ restaurant chain with over 35 locations that specializes in slow-cooked baby back ribs, hand-chopped chicken and pork, and Southern-style side dishes. This October,
we’ll host our next biannual Square Releases event, where we’ll showcase additional products and features designed for quick-service restaurants.
Our sales and partnership efforts are also driving success across other verticals. Square has established a strong presence in concerts and stadiums
globally, and we are continuing to expand in this space. In the second quarter, we signed Live Nation Canada, making Square the exclusive payment processing partner at major concert venues and festivals across Canada. We also signed Midwest Vision
Partners, a vision care provider with more than 70 locations, that chose Square due to our modern and flexible payment options.
We continue to
build out our partnership motion and have exceeded our targets for partner-driven volume. We launched our first U.S. independent sales organization (“ISO”) partnership earlier this year, and signed multiple new ISO partners in the second
quarter. While early, initial results are promising, and we’re continuing to invest in this channel.

Cash App
We’re delivering product innovation to drive network virality and deepen engagement.
In July we started rolling out Pools, a group P2P product that makes collecting and managing shared money simple and social. Approximately 60% of
adults pool money to manage shared expenses or contribute to shared goals — whether that’s rent, a group trip, or organizing a youth sports league. Now, Cash App will enable proactive contributions, allowing groups to fund collective
expenses in advance and reducing the upfront individual cost. After moving from prototype to pilot in just four months, we plan to expand access more broadly, unlocking network growth by allowing group P2P participation — even from those
outside the platform — and making it easier for new customers to discover Cash App.
We estimate that nearly 20% of our customers receive at
least a portion of their pay in cash, and we’ve more than doubled paper money deposit limits to better serve them. We believe increasing transaction limits across Cash App will enable customers to conduct more of their financial lives with us,
deepening engagement and loyalty.
In the second quarter we launched Tap to Pay on iPhone for Cash App Business sellers, powered by Square as a
Tap to Pay processor. This unlocks card acceptance for millions of eligible Cash App Business sellers on iOS, and early beta testing found Cash App Business sellers using Tap to Pay saw an approximately 35% increase in gross payment volume
(“GPV”). We’re going to continue to invest in Cash App Business, helping nanosellers grow with innovations powered by Square technology.11
We see a major opportunity to grow our network by becoming the financial platform for the next generation.
We’re focused on winning teens early — driving viral adoption through their social circles and giving them and their sponsors tools to
responsibly grow with Cash App as their financial needs evolve. As of June, we had 5 million monthly active sponsored teen accounts on Cash App and these actives are highly engaged: nearly 80% were Cash App Card Actives and over 25% were Cash
App Pay actives as of June. When sponsored accounts turn 18, nearly half have made the choice to graduate to an individual Cash App account, with the vast majority of these active in June. As our product set grows, we expect our ability to grow with
these customers will continue to improve.
In the second quarter we rolled out a new feature that instantly notifies sponsors whenever a teen
transacts with a new connection on Cash App, giving sponsors more visibility and control over their teen’s Cash App experience.
Marketing
investments are scaling alongside product innovation. In July, we increased teen-focused referrals and campaigns, and are now expanding into creator content, interactive ads, and new formats across various social media channels in an effort to drive
broader awareness and adoption.
We’re continuing to scale our Commerce capabilities.
Cash App Pay volume grew 2x year over year in the second quarter. We continued to add new merchants across food delivery, gaming platforms, and
general retail, giving millions of customers more ways to pay with Cash App. We also continued to grow Afterpay GMV and signed new merchants including Uber and Uber Eats in Australia.
Over the last three years advertising has become a meaningful new growth vector for Cash App Afterpay. Building on this success, we launched the
Afterpay Media Network (“AMN”) late last year, an advertising platform that harnesses data from millions of Afterpay actives in Australia to deliver targeted marketing solutions for merchants. We’re empowering brands to reach the
right audiences and have driven measurable sales and conversion improvements, with analysis from early case studies indicating up to 15x return on ad spend.
In the second quarter we launched Pay Monthly for Single Use Payments (“SUP”) in the U.S. SUP lets customers split purchases into
installments at merchants that advertise on the Afterpay app, and we are now offering greater payment flexibility with 6- and 12-month term options for higher value
purchases. We view advertising as a powerful growth vector for Afterpay and will continue to innovate to better serve merchants and consumers.
11 Nanosellers are individuals or sellers who make less than $10,000 per year in GPV.
Nanosellers make up the majority of Cash App Business sellers.

Financial Discussion
We delivered strong financial performance in the second quarter, with gross profit growth accelerating to 14% year over year and Adjusted Operating
Income margins expanding to 22%. We are executing on our strategic growth initiatives across Square and Cash App, accelerating GPV growth in Square and gross profit per monthly transacting active in Cash App. We are raising our full year guidance to
reflect our strong execution. We expect to continue to accelerate gross profit growth in the second half of 2025 and to exit 2025 with year-over-year growth of 19%, while delivering 20% Adjusted Operating Income margin, positioning us well for 2026.12
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

26 million.
Guidance
We are raising our guidance to reflect the strength we are seeing across our business. We now expect $10.17 billion in gross
profit for 2025, reflecting growth of over 14% year over year. We expect full-year Adjusted Operating Income of $2.03 billion, or 20% margin, representing a 2% margin expansion year over year. We expect gross profit in the third quarter to grow 16%
year over year to $2.60 billion with Adjusted Operating Income margins of 18%.
12 Rule of 40 is the sum of our gross profit growth and Adjusted Operating Income margin as a
percent of gross profit. We may refer to a “Rule of” number other than 40 to refer to the sum of gross profit growth and Adjusted Operating Income margin as a percent of gross profit for the period given.
13 Square GPV is defined as the total dollar amount of all card and bank payments processed by
sellers using Square, net of refunds.
14 Gross profit per monthly transacting
active is calculated based on Cash App annualized gross profit excluding our BNPL platform during a given quarter divided by the monthly transacting actives for the last month of the quarter. Cash App annualized gross profit includes gross profit
from our post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card. In the second quarter, BNPL platform gross profit (which does not include post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card), was $261 million, up 18% year over year.

Square GPV in the second quarter was
$64.2 billion, up 10% and 9.9% year over year on a reported and constant currency basis, respectively. On a year-over-year basis in the second quarter, GPV from food and beverage sellers was up 15% while GPV from retail sellers achieved the
strongest growth since the first quarter of 2023, up 10%. GPV from services sellers grew 6% year over year. We saw faster growth in our mid-market seller segments (>$500K in annualized GPV) compared to our
other seller segments during the second quarter.
Growth in Square gross profit was driven primarily by our software and integrated payments and
banking products as we continued to move upmarket and expand our market share in our target verticals.

Cash App gross profit increased 16% year
over year, driven by growth across Cash App Borrow, Cash App Card, and BNPL.
Gross profit per transacting active reached $87 in the second
quarter, up 15% year over year. Inflows per transacting active in the second quarter were $1,338, up 8% year over year, driven in part by more customers bringing their paychecks into Cash App. Cash App’s paycheck deposit monthly actives grew
year over year and quarter over quarter to 2.7 million as we continued to execute on our “bank the base” strategy.
BNPL GMV,
which now includes post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, reached $9.11 billion in the second quarter, growing 17% and 18% year over year on a reported and constant currency basis, respectively. Growth was driven by our Pay-in-Four offering, post-purchase BNPL, and Gift Cards from our eligibility expansion. BNPL gross profit, which now includes post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, was
$268 million, up 22% year over year.19
15 Historically, our Cash App ecosystem has experienced improvements in revenue, gross profit,
and inflows related to the distribution of government funds as customers have deposited more funds into Cash App during these times, including during the first quarter when U.S. tax refunds are typically distributed.
16 Inflows per transacting active refers to total inflows in the quarter divided by monthly
actives for the last month of the quarter. Inflows refers to funds entering the Cash App ecosystem. Inflows does not include the movement of funds when funds remain in the Cash App ecosystem or when funds leave the Cash App ecosystem, or inflows
related to the Afterpay app.
17 We calculate monetization rate by dividing Cash App
gross profit, excluding contributions from our BNPL platform, by Cash App inflows.
18 Gross profit per monthly transacting active is calculated based on Cash App annualized gross
profit excluding our BNPL platform during a given quarter divided by the monthly transacting actives for the last month of the quarter. Gross profit for our BNPL platform was $220 million or $881 million on an annualized basis for
Q2’24, $242 million or $968 million on an annualized basis for Q3’24, $298 million or $1.19 billion on an annualized basis for Q4’24, $237 million or $948 million on an annualized basis for Q1’25,
and $261 million or $1.04 billion on an annualized basis for Q2’25.
19 In the second quarter, BNPL platform gross profit (which does not include post-purchase BNPL
on Cash App Card) was $261 million, up 18% year over year.

In the second quarter, we achieved
significant leverage on our product development expenses as we reduced software and cloud costs, with spend up only 2% on a GAAP basis. Sales and marketing expenses grew 8% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven by an increase in go-to-market investments to support the growth of our business. Of this, Cash App marketing expenses were relatively flat year over year as we grew advertising and customer
acquisition spend by over 50%, offset by improvements in peer-to-peer risk loss performance. Other sales and marketing expenses were up 22% year over year as we
significantly increased go-to-market investment in Square. General and administrative expenses were down 5% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven primarily by decreased
personnel costs and our continued focus on expense efficiency. Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses increased 53% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven primarily by growth in loan volumes, particularly from Cash App Borrow.

20 Beginning in fiscal 2025, we revised our definition of Adjusted EPS to include stock-based
compensation. We believe this change provides a more comprehensive view of our operating performance and aligns with our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Operating Income. Prior period amounts have been recast to
reflect the updated presentation.

In the second quarter of 2025, we
continued to prudently invest in our lending products, including growing Borrow given the strong unit economics and returns we have seen. We are also focused on returning capital to shareholders. In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased
12.5 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $692 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.5 billion in remaining authorization for repurchases.
In the second quarter, we began originating Borrow loans through SFS. Borrow loans originated through SFS are classified as held-for-investment rather than held-for-sale, which has the effect of shifting those Borrow
receivables from cash flow from operations to cash flow from investing activities. We plan to share a comprehensive overview of our cash generation capabilities at Investor Day.
We ended the quarter with $8.5 billion of total liquidity, with $7.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in
marketable debt securities, as well as $775 million available to be withdrawn from our revolving credit facility.
21 Quarterly figures presented may not sum precisely due to rounding.

We’re raising our gross profit and Adjusted Operating Income guidance by more than our second quarter outperformance to reflect our
strong execution. We now expect $10.17 billion in gross profit for 2025, for growth of over 14% year over year. We expect gross profit in the third quarter to grow 16% year over year to $2.60 billion. G1We expect to accelerate gross profit growth
further in the fourth quarter, exiting the year at 19% gross profit growth, with the drivers of acceleration consistent with our prior outlook. We expect Borrow to be the most meaningful contributor to growth acceleration in the third and fourth
quarters. In addition, expansion of post purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, Square GPV acceleration from product and go to market investment, and Proto chip deliveries are all expected to drive gross profit growth. We continue to be mindful of the
dynamic macro backdrop as we forecast our business.
We expect to deliver $460 million of Adjusted Operating Income in the third quarter and $2.03 billion in
Adjusted Operating Income for the full year. We are raising our Adjusted Operating Income guidance even with our expectation for increased levels of go to market investment relative to our prior outlook. We’ve continued to see attractive
returns on go to market spend and healthy risk loss in our underwriting products and we will continue to be data driven and prudent in our growth investments.
22 We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking
non-GAAP metrics, including Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), or GAAP reconciliations of any of the aforementioned, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as contingencies, restructuring
and other charges. Accordingly, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliations, as the reconciliations of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents are
not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations of other historical GAAP to non-GAAP

Key Operating Metrics And Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), from period to period, we consider and present certain operating and financial measures that we consider key metrics or are not prepared in accordance with
GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume (GPV), Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted
Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, constant currency, and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of other payments solution providers. GPV includes Square GPV and Cash App Business GPV. Square GPV is
defined as the total dollar amount of all card and bank payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds. Cash App Business GPV comprises Cash App activity related topeer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts and peer-to-peer payments sent
from a credit card. GPV does not include transactions from our BNPL platform. We define GMV as the total order value processed on our BNPL platform.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) arenon-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of restructuring share-based compensation expense, contingencies,
restructuring, and other charges; goodwill and intangible asset impairment; amortization of intangible assets; amortization of debt discount and issuance costs; gain or loss on revaluation of equity investments; remeasurement gain or loss on
revaluation of bitcoin investment; the gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment; acquired deferred revenue and cost adjustments; the tax effect of one-time income tax benefits from deferred tax
assets; and the tax effect of non-GAAP net income adjustments, as applicable. Additionally, for purposes of calculating diluted Adjusted EPS, we add back cash interest expense on convertible senior notes, as
if converted at the beginning of the period, if the impact is dilutive. To calculate the diluted Adjusted EPS, we adjust the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
16
outstanding for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. In periods when we recorded an Adjusted Net Loss, the diluted Adjusted EPS is the same as basic Adjusted EPS because
the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Adjusted Net Loss position.
Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss), adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense; restructuring share-based compensation expense;
depreciation and amortization; contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; interest income and expense; remeasurement gain or loss on bitcoin investment; other income and expense; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; gain or loss on
disposal of property and equipment; and acquired deferred revenue and cost adjustment, as applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross profit.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our
operating income (loss), adjusted to eliminate the effect of amortization of acquired technology assets; contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; restructuring share-based compensation expenses; goodwill and intangible asset impairment and
amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) divided by gross profit.
We also exclude from these measures certain acquisition-related and integration costs associated with business combinations, and
various other costs that are not reflective of our core operating performance. We exclude amortization of intangible assets arising from business combinations from Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), and
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) Margin because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our ongoing business operations. Acquisition-related costs include amounts paid to redeem
acquirees’ unvested stock-based compensation awards; charges associated with holdback liabilities; and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs. Integration costs include advisory and other professional services or consulting fees necessary
to integrate acquired businesses. Other costs that are not reflective of our core business operating expenses may include contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; impairment charges; restructuring share-based compensation expense; and
certain litigation and regulatory charges. For Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS, we also add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue and deferred cost adjustment, which was written down to fair value in purchase accounting, and
adjust for the tax effect of the non-GAAP net income adjustments.
Adjusted
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in settlements receivable; changes in customers payable; changes in settlements
payable; the purchase of property and equipment; payments for originations of consumer receivables; proceeds from principal repayments and sales of consumer receivables; and sales, and principal payments, and forgiveness of PPP loans. We present
Adjusted Free Cash Flow because we use it to understand the cash generated by our business and make strategic decisions related to our balance sheet, and because we are focused on growing our Adjusted Free Cash Flow generation over time. It is not
intended to represent amounts available for discretionary purposes. Constant currency growth is calculated by assuming international results in a given period and the comparative prior period are translated from local currencies to the U.S. dollar
at rates consistent with the monthly average rates in the comparative prior period. We discuss growth on a constant currency basis because a portion of our business operates in markets outside the U.S. and is subject to changes in foreign exchange
rates. Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents operating expenses
adjusted to remove the impact of restructuring share-based compensation; amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets; acquisition-related and integration costs; contingencies,
restructuring, and other charges; and goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS,
and non-GAAP operating expenses because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those
relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted
EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In
addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certainnon-cash items and certain variable charges that do not vary with our operations. We have included measures excluding our BNPL platform because we believe these measures are useful in understanding the ongoing
results of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating
expenses, as well as other measures defined in the shareholder letter, such as measures excluding our BNPL platform, have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the
related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the aforementioned metrics and measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future
prospects, and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain variable amounts, or they remove amounts
that were not repeated across periods and therefore make comparisons more difficult. Our management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to
operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Mentions · how they’re counted
| Category | Underlined | Word counter | Model’s count |

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
