Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

eBay Inc. is a global commerce leader ~~which includes our Marketplace platforms.~~that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. Founded in 1995 in San Jose, California, eBay is one of the ~~world’s~~world's largest and most vibrant marketplaces for discovering great value and unique selection. Collectively, we connect millions of buyers and sellers around the world, empowering people and creating opportunity for all. Our technologies and services are designed to give buyers choice and a breadth of relevant inventory and to enable sellers worldwide to organize and offer their inventory for sale, virtually anytime and anywhere.

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “eBay” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we mean the current Delaware corporation (eBay Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to provisions for transaction losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, investments including level 3 investments in Gmarket Global LLC (“Gmarket”), warrants and the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying ~~condensed~~ financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of eBay Inc., our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) where we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interests are recorded as a noncontrolling interest. A qualitative approach is applied to assess the consolidation requirement for ~~VIE’s. Equity~~VIEs. Generally, investments in entities ~~where we have not elected the fair value option and~~ where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest orand have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of ~~accounting.~~ accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected.

For ~~such~~equity method investments, our share of the investees’ results of operations is included in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net and ~~our equity~~ investment ~~balance is~~balances are included in long-term investments. ~~Equity~~For equity investments under the fair value option, the change in fair value of the investment is included in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net and investment balances are included in long-term investments, other than our equity interest in Adevinta ASA (“Adevinta”) which is included in the short-term assets section on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for as equity investments to be measured at fair value or, under an election, at cost if it does not have readily determinable fair value, in which case the carrying value would be adjusted upon the occurrence of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar instruments or impairment.

Upon the transfer of our Classifieds business to Adevinta ~~ASA (“Adevinta”) on June 24,~~in 2021, shares in Adevinta were included as part of total consideration received under the definitive agreement. The equity interest in Adevinta is accounted for under the fair value option. ~~As of September 30, 2022, our ownership in Adevinta was 33%. Subsequent changes in fair value are included in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.~~

Additionally, upon completion of the sale of 80.01% of the outstanding equity interests of eBay Korea LLC ~~a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Korea and a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay KTA~~ (“eBay Korea”) to ~~E-mart~~Emart Inc. ~~and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, “Emart”~~(“Emart”) ~~on November 14,~~in 2021, we retained 19.99% of the outstanding equity interests of the new entity, Gmarket, ~~Global LLC (“Gmarket”) formerly known as Apollo Korea,~~ which is accounted for under the fair value option.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” ofin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022, except for our policy related to revenue recognition to reflect the expansion of promoted listing services offered to sellers beginning in the second quarter of 2023, as noted below.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when we transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Our net revenues primarily consist of final value fees and promoted listing fees from sellers on our platforms. Our net revenues also include store subscription and other fees often from large enterprise sellers as well revenues from the sale of advertisements and revenue sharing arrangements. Our net revenues are reduced by incentives, including discounts, coupons and rewards, provided to our customers.

We identified one performance obligation to sellers on our Marketplace platform, which is to connect buyers and sellers on our secure and trusted Marketplace platforms, including payment processing activities. Final value fees are recognized when an item is sold on a Marketplace platform, satisfying this performance obligation. With respect to our services offerings, services may also be provided to sellers to promote their listings through on-site or off-site sponsored ads that are a distinct performance obligation for which revenue is recognized when (or over the period) these services are performed.

Store subscription and other nonstandard listing contracts may contain multiple performance obligations, including discounts on future services. Determining whether performance obligations should be accounted for separately or combined may require significant judgment. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we generally estimate selling prices based on when they are sold to customers of a similar nature and geography. These estimates are generally based on pricing strategies, market factors, strategic objectives and observable inputs. Store subscription revenues are recognized over the subscription period, and discounts offered through store subscription or nonstandard listing contracts are recognized when the options are exercised or when the options expire.

Further, to drive traffic to our platforms, we provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives that are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when we pay or promise to pay the incentive. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom we have no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, we may provide credits to customers when we refund certain fees. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.

eBay Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Advertising revenue is derived principally from the sale of online advertisements which are based on “impressions” (i.e., the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of our platforms) or “clicks” (which are generated each time users on our platforms click through our advertisements to an advertiser’s designated website) delivered to advertisers. We use the output method and apply the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. For contracts with target advertising commitments with rebates, estimated payout is accounted for as a variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.

Revenues related to revenue sharing arrangements are recognized based on whether we are the principal and are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified services or whether we are an agent arranging for those services to be provided by our partners. Determining whether we are a principal or agent in these contracts may require significant judgment. If we are the principal, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration received from the customer, whereas if we are an agent, we recognize revenue net of the consideration due to our partners at a point in time when the services are provided. Our most significant revenue share arrangements are with shipping service providers. We are primarily acting as an agent in these contracts and revenues are recognized at a point in time when we have satisfied our promise of connecting the shipping service provider to our customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued new guidance to expand the scope of financial assets that can be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method to allow consistent accounting for similar hedges. The expanded scope permits the application of the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”)~~ issued new guidance to clarify the fair value measurement guidance for equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. Further, the guidance introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common ~~shares~~stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares of common ~~shares.~~stock.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods indicated (in millions, except per share amounts):

~~Classifieds~~

~~On June 24, 2021, we completed the previously announced transfer~~Acquisition of our Classifieds business to Adevinta for $2.5 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and approximately 540 million shares in Adevinta which represented an equity interest of 44%. Together, the total consideration received under the definitive agreement was valued at approximately $13.3 billion, based on the closing trading price of Adevinta’s outstanding shares at the Oslo Stock Exchange on June 24, 2021. The transfer resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12.5 billion and related income tax expense of $2.1 billion, both within income from discontinued operations. The results of our Classifieds business have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of income for all periods presented through June 24, 2021 as the transfer represented a strategic shift in our business that had a major effect on our operations and financial results.TCGplayer

The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3.2 billion inclusive of a $81 million currency translation adjustment and a $44 million gain on the net investment hedge settled in the fourth quarter of 2021, as well as income tax expense of $369 million.

We consider cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. Restricted cash is held ~~primarily~~ in interest bearing accounts ~~primarily~~for letters of credit related to our global sabbatical ~~program.~~program and for certain amounts related to other compensation arrangements held in escrow. Our fixed-income investments consist of predominantly investment grade corporate debt securities and government and agency securities. The corporate debt and government and agency securities that we invest in are generally deemed to be low risk based on their credit ratings from the major rating agencies.

The longer the duration of these securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates and bond yields. As interest rates increase, those securities purchased at a lower yield show a mark-to-market unrealized loss. The unrealized losses are primarily due ~~primarily~~ to changes in credit spreads and interest rates. We regularly review investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Investments classified as available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value with changes reflected in other comprehensive income. Where there is an intention or a requirement to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, the entire impairment is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the security. From time to time, we sell available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position and recognize an immaterial loss.

We regularly review investment securities for credit impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded through interest and other, net for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. We did not recognize any credit-related impairment through an allowance for credit losses as of September 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Investment securities in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months had an estimated fair value of ~~$2.4~~$1.5 billion and unrealized losses of ~~$92~~$2 million as of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, and an estimated fair value of ~~$3.1~~$2.8 billion and ~~an immaterial amount~~unrealized losses of ~~unrealized losses~~$32 million as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

At the initial recognition of the equity investment, we elected the fair value option where subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The investment is classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation can be obtained from real time quotes in active markets. The fair value of the equity investment is measured based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate at each balance sheet date and the changes in fair value are reflected in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

Note 7 — Derivative Instruments

Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse foreign exchange rate and interest rate movements. We do not use any of our derivative instruments for trading purposes.

We use foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows related to forecasted revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are generally one month to one year in duration but with maturities up to 24 months. The objective of the foreign exchange contracts is to ensure that ultimately the U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows are not adversely affected by changes in the applicable U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate. We evaluate the effectiveness of our foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges on a quarterly basis.

In ~~the second quarter of~~ 2022, we ~~began~~entered into derivative instruments to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments on anticipated debt issuance using forward-starting interest rate swaps. The total notional amount of these forward-starting interest rate swaps was $250 million as of September 30, 2022 with terms calling for us to receive interest at a variable rate and to pay interest at a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps effectively ~~fix~~fixed the benchmark interest rate and ~~have~~had the economic effect of hedging the variability of forecasted interest payments for up to 10ten years on an anticipated debt ~~issuance by the first quarter of 2023, and they will be terminated upon issuance of the debt.~~

~~Additionally in 2020,~~issuance. Similar to other cash flow hedges, we ~~began to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments on anticipated debt issuance using forward-starting interest rate swaps and~~ recorded changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps in ~~AOCI~~accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the anticipated debt issuance. ~~In May 2021,~~As described in “Note 9 — Debt,” in 2022, we issued ~~$2.5~~$1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes, which consisted of notes maturing in ~~2026, 2031~~2025, 2027 and ~~2051.~~2032. As a result, we terminated the interest rate swaps and the gain associated with the termination of approximately ~~$45~~$25 million is amortized to interest expense over the ~~terms~~term of our notes due in ~~May 2026 and May 2031.~~

Similar to other cash flow hedges, we record changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the anticipated debt issuance. Upon debt issuance and termination of the derivative instruments, their fair value will be amortized over the term of the new debt to interest expense. We evaluate the effectiveness of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis.

During 2020, we began to hedge the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with our floating-rate debt using interest rate swaps. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert our floating-rate debt that is based on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to a fixed-rate basis, reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The total notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $650 million as of September 30, 2022 with terms calling for us to receive interest at a variable rate and to pay interest at a fixed rate. Our interest rate swap contracts have maturity dates in 2023. Similar to other cash flow hedges, we record changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps in AOCI and their fair value is amortized over the term of the debt to interest expense.November 2032.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted hedged transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Unrealized gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are immediately reclassified into earnings. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we have estimated that approximately ~~$232~~$15 million of net derivative gains related to our foreign exchange cash flow hedges and ~~$12~~$8 million of net derivative gains related to our interest rate cash flow hedges included in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. We classify cash flows related to our cash flow hedges as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)~~

Non-Designated Hedges

Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we primarily use to hedge monetary assets or liabilities, including intercompany balances and equity investments denominated in non-functional currencies. The gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in interest and other, net, which are offset by the foreign currency gains and losses on the related assets and liabilities that are also recorded in interest and other, net. We classify cash flows related to our non-designated hedging instruments in the same line item as the cash flows of the related assets or liabilities, which is generally within operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to the settlement of non-designated hedging instruments related to equity investments are classified within investing activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Warrant

In 2021, we met the processing volume milestone target to vest the first tranche of the warrant. Upon vesting of the first tranche, we exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen valued at approximately $1.1 billion in exchange for approximately $110 million in cash. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold the remainder of our shares in Adyen for $120 million and $800 million, respectively, and recorded realized gains of $24 million and losses of $143 million on the change in fair value of shares sold in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net on our condensed consolidated statement of income. Refer to “Note 6 —~~Investments” for more information about our equity investments.~~

The warrant is accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We report the warrant at fair value within ~~warrant asset~~other assets in our condensed consolidated balance ~~sheets~~sheet and changes in the fair value of the warrant are recognized in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. The day-one value attributable to the other side of the warrant, which was recorded as a deferred credit, is reported within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance ~~sheets~~sheet and is amortized over the life of the commercial arrangement. See “Note 8 — Fair Value ~~Measurements”~~Measurement of Assets and Liabilities” for information about the fair value measurement of the warrant.

Credit Risk

Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to, and by spreading the risk across, major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. To further limit credit risk, we also enter into collateral security arrangements related to certain interest rate derivative instruments whereby collateral is posted between counterparties if the fair value of the derivative instrument exceeds certain thresholds. Additional collateral would be required in the event of a significant credit downgrade by either party. We are not required to pledge, nor are we entitled to receive, collateral related to our foreign exchange derivative transactions.

Our financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on both active markets (Level 1), less active markets (Level 2) and little or no market activity (Level 3). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments, identical instruments in less active markets, or models using market observable inputs. Level 3 instrument valuations typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We did not have any transfers of financial instruments between valuation levels during the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, funds receivable, accounts payable and ~~accounts~~funds payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value measurement of derivative instruments

The majority of our derivative instruments are valued using pricing models that take into account the contract terms as well as multiple inputs where applicable, such as equity prices, interest rate yield curves, option volatility and currency rates. Our warrant, which is accounted for as a derivative instrument, is valued using a Black-Scholes model. Key assumptions used in the valuation include risk-free interest ~~rates;~~rates, Adyen’s common stock price, equity volatility and common stock ~~outstanding;~~outstanding, exercise ~~price;~~price, and details specific to the warrant. The value is also probability adjusted for management’s assumptions with respect to vesting of the remaining three tranches which are each subject to meeting processing volume milestone targets. These assumptions and the probability of meeting processing volume milestone targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. Refer to “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” for further details on our derivative instruments.

Fair value measurement of equity investments

Certain ~~of our~~ equity investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including our equity investment in Adevinta, equity investments with readily determinable fair values and equity investments under the fair value option.

Our equity investment in Adevinta is accounted for under the fair value option and classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is measured based on Adevinta’s closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Our equity investments with readily determinable fair values are also classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation can be obtained from real time quotes in active markets.

Our equity investment in Gmarket ~~was initially recognized on November 14, 2021 in connection with the sale of 80.01% of the outstanding equity interests of eBay Korea to Emart. This equity investment~~ is accounted for under the fair value option and ~~its initial valuation of $728 million was based on the sale price of eBay Korea.~~ ~~Our investment in Gmarket~~ is subject to a two year right held by Emart from the date of disposal to purchase the remaining interest at or near the ~~close~~closing price of the sale.

This investment is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as valuation of the investment reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the equity investment in Gmarket as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 that may have a significant impact on the overall valuation (in ~~millions)~~millions, except multiples):

(1) The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our equity investment in Gmarket under the fair value option, when using the Guideline Public Company (GPC) method and the Guideline Merged and Acquired Company (GMAC) method under the market multiple approach, are the respective revenue multiples. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue multiples in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The market multiples are derived from respective groups of guideline public companies and guideline merged and acquired companies.

Certain other immaterial equity investments under the fair value option aggregating to ~~$41~~$47 million and $30 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient, and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Senior Notes

~~During the second quarter of 2022, the company~~In January 2023, we redeemed the ~~$605 million~~$1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the floating rate and 2.750% senior notes due 2023. Total cash consideration paid was $1.2 billion, as the redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount.

In 2022, we redeemed the $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2.600% and 3.800% senior notes due 2022.

If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the applicable senior notes) occurs with respect to the ~~floating rate notes due 2023, the 2.750%~~3.450% fixed rate notes due ~~2023,~~2024, the 1.900% fixed rate notes due 2025, the 5.900% fixed rate notes due 2025, the 1.400% fixed rate notes due 2026, the 3.600% fixed rate notes due 2027, the 5.950% fixed rate notes due 2027, the 2.700% fixed rate notes due 2030, the 2.600% fixed rate notes due 2031, the 6.300% fixed rate notes due 2032, the 4.000% fixed rate notes due 2042, or the 3.650% fixed rate notes due 2051, we must, subject to certain exceptions, offer to repurchase all of the notes of the applicable series at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture pursuant to which the senior notes were issued includes customary covenants that, among other things and subject to exceptions, limit our ability to incur, assume or guarantee debt secured by liens on specified assets or enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to specified properties, and also includes customary events of default with customary grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults.

To help achieve our interest rate risk management objectives, during the second quarter of 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted $400 million of our LIBOR-based floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. ~~These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and have maturity dates in 2023.~~ During the ~~second~~first quarter of 2023 we terminated the interest rate swap agreements upon redemption of the floating rate senior notes due 2023. During 2022, we ~~began~~entered into derivative instruments to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments on anticipated debt issuance using forward-starting interest rate swaps. ~~The total notional amount~~As described above, in 2022 we issued $1.2 billion of ~~these forward-starting~~senior unsecured notes, which consisted of notes maturing in 2025, 2027 and 2032. As a result, we terminated the interest rate swaps ~~was $250~~and the gain associated with the termination of approximately $25 million asis amortized to interest expense over the term of ~~September 30, 2022 and will be terminated upon issuance of the debt.~~our notes due in November 2032.

The effective interest rates for our senior notes include the interest payable, the amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of any original issue discount and premium on these senior notes. Interest on these senior notes is payable either quarterly or semiannually. Interest expense associated with these senior notes, including amortization of debt issuance costs, was approximately ~~$54~~$65 million and ~~$66~~$196 million during the three ~~months ended September 30, 2022~~ and ~~2021, respectively, and $169 million and $191 million during the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2022~~2023, respectively, compared to $54 million and ~~2021, respectively.~~$169 million during the same periods in 2022. As of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the estimated fair value of these senior notes, using Level 2 inputs, was approximately $6.7 billion and ~~$9.5~~$8.0 billion, respectively.

Commercial Paper

We have a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.

Credit Agreement

In March 2020, we entered into a credit agreement that provides for an unsecured $2 billion five-year credit facility. We may also, subject to the agreement of the applicable lenders, increase commitments under the revolving credit facility by up to $1 billion. Funds borrowed under the credit agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, no borrowings were outstanding under our $2 billion credit agreement. However, as described above, we have an up to $1.5 billion commercial paper program and are required to maintain available borrowing capacity under our credit agreement in order to repay commercial paper borrowings in the event we are unable to repay those borrowings from other sources when they become due, in an aggregate amount of $1.5 billion. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, no borrowings were outstanding under our commercial paper program; therefore, $2 billion of borrowing capacity was available for other purposes permitted by the credit agreement, subject to customary conditions to borrowing. The credit agreement includes a covenant limiting our consolidated leverage ratio to no more than 4.0:1.0, subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified material acquisition, if so elected by us, a step-up to 4.5:1.0 for the four fiscal quarters completed following such qualified material acquisition. The credit agreement includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults, cross-defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults. In addition, the credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens and subsidiary indebtedness, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The credit agreement also contains customary representations and warranties.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when we have satisfied our performance obligation and have the unconditional right to payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits is estimated based upon our assessment of various factors including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, current economic conditions reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other factors that may affect our customers’ ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits was ~~$43~~$44 million and ~~$74~~$42 million as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we reported an allowance for doubtful accounts of $21 million reflecting an increase of $4 million, net of write-offs of $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we reported an allowance for doubtful accounts of $19 million reflecting a decrease of $23 million, net of write-offs of $38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, we reported an allowance for doubtful accounts of $42$16 million.

Deferred revenue consists of fees received related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period. Due to the generally short-term duration of contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following reporting period. The amount of revenue recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was $32 million. The amount of revenue recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was $37 million. ~~The amount of revenue recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was $47 million.~~

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

We have a cash pooling arrangement with a financial institution for cash management purposes. This arrangement allows for cash withdrawals from the financial institution based upon our aggregate operating cash balances held within the same financial institution (“Aggregate Cash Deposits”). This arrangement also allows us to withdraw amounts exceeding the Aggregate Cash Deposits up to an agreed-upon limit. The net balance of the withdrawals and the Aggregate Cash Deposits are used by the financial institution as a basis for calculating our net interest expense or income under the arrangement. As of September 30, 2022, we had a total of $247 million in aggregate cash deposits, partially offset by $60 million in cash withdrawals, held within the financial institution under the cash pooling arrangement.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

Overview

We are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings on an ongoing basis. Many of these proceedings are in early stages and may seek an indeterminate amount of damages. If we believe that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated liability in our financial statements. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For those proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable, we have disclosed an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses or we have concluded that an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising directly from the proceeding (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) is not material. If we cannot estimate the probable or reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising from a proceeding, we have disclosed that fact. In assessing the materiality of a proceeding, we evaluate, among other factors, the amount of monetary damages claimed, as well as the potential impact of non-monetary remedies sought by plaintiffs (e.g., injunctive relief) that may require us to change our business practices in a manner that could have a material adverse impact on our business. With respect to the matters disclosed in this Overview, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of such non-monetary remedies.

Amounts accrued for legal and regulatory proceedings for which we believe a loss is probable were not material for the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2022.~~2023. We have concluded, based on currently available information, that reasonably possible losses arising directly from the proceedings (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) in excess of our recorded accruals are also not material. However, legal and regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. If one or more matters were resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the impact on our operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

General Matters

Third parties have from time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We are subject to patent disputes, and expect that we could be subject to additional patent infringement claims involving various aspects of our business as our products and services continue to expand in scope and complexity. Such claims may be brought directly or indirectly against us and/or against our customers (who may be entitled to contractual indemnification under their contracts with us), and we are subject to increased exposure to such claims as a result of our acquisitions and divestitures and in cases where we are entering new lines of business. We have in the past been forced to litigate such claims. We may also become more vulnerable to third-party claims as laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Lanham Act and the Communications Decency Act are interpreted by the courts, and as we expand the scope of our business (both in terms of the range of products and services that we offer and our geographical operations) and become subject to laws in jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries like ourselves are either unclear or less favorable. We believe that additional lawsuits alleging that we have violated patent, copyright or trademark laws will be filed against us. Intellectual property claims, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming and costly to defend and resolve, could require expensive changes in our methods of doing business or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms.

From time to time, we are involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business, including suits by our users (individually or as class actions) alleging, among other things, improper disclosure of our prices, rules or policies, that our practices, prices, rules, policies or customer/user agreements violate applicable law or that we have acted unfairly and/or not acted in conformity with such practices, prices, rules, policies or agreements. Further, the number and significance of these disputes and inquiries are increasing as the political and regulatory landscape changes and, as we have grown larger, our businesses have expanded in scope (both in terms of the range of products and services that we offer and our geographical operations) and our products and services have increased in complexity. Any claims or regulatory actions against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards (including statutory damages for certain causes of action in certain jurisdictions), injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require us to change our business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources or otherwise harm our business.

From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies, typically for potential misconduct by sellers on the Company’s Marketplace platforms. More recently, the Company has received subpoenas or requests for information from government agencies related to potential liability of the Company for products sold by sellers on the Marketplace platforms. The Company generally responds to government subpoenas and requests in the ordinary course of business and in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company.

In this regard, the Company has responded to inquiries from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) regarding products sold on the Marketplace platforms alleged to violate certain laws, ~~and regulations,~~ including ~~regulations of~~laws administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and, separately, ~~regulations of~~laws administered by the Drug Enforcement ~~Agency.~~Agency (“DEA”). The inquiries relate to whether and to what extent the Company should be liable for the sale of regulated or illicit products manufactured and sold by others who listed such products on Marketplace platforms in a manner that evaded and/or was designed to evade detection by the Company. With respect to the inquiries regarding EPA ~~regulations,~~matters, on September 27, 2023, the ~~EPA,~~DOJ filed a civil complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging violations of the Clean Air Act, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims. With respect to the inquiry regarding DEA matters, the DEA, DOJ and the Company have begun discussions relating to allegations of noncompliance arising under the ~~Clean Air~~Controlled Substances Act, ~~among other alleged violations,~~ which discussions include a potential settlement. If the Company is found to be liable for such activities on the Marketplace, it ~~could~~likely will be subject to monetary damages, changes in our business practices, or other remedies that could have a material adverse impact on our business. At

The Company is also responding to inquiries from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts regarding potential criminal liability of the Company arising from the stalking and harassment in 2019 of the editor and publisher of Ecommercebytes, a website that publishes ecommerce news and information. Six former Company employees and one former contractor have pleaded guilty to crimes arising from the conduct. The Company is in discussions with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which discussions include a potential settlement. We expect any such settlement may include fines, other payments, and non-monetary remedies, such as additional remediation, compliance and reporting requirements. The editor and publisher also have a pending civil action against the Company, which seeks unspecified damages arising from the above-described conduct.

In connection with the government matters and criminal and civil actions described above, the Company has accrued for probable losses of $114 million in the aggregate as of September 30, 2023 and as of the date of this ~~time, we are unable to estimate~~report, of which $50 million was recorded as a component of general and administrative expense during the ~~losses that may be incurred because the matters are still under investigation~~three and ~~involve novel legal questions relevant to the Company’s potential liability.~~nine months ended September 30, 2023. Given the uncertainties involved, the ultimate resolution of these matters could result in additional losses that may be material to our ~~operating~~financial results for a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of our net income or loss for that period.

Indemnification Provisions

We entered into a separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements with PayPal to govern the separation and relationship of the two companies. These agreements provide for specific indemnity and liability obligations and could lead to disputes between us and PayPal, which may be significant. In addition, the indemnity rights we have against PayPal under the agreements may not be sufficient to protect us and our indemnity obligations to PayPal may be significant.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with us.

In the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with which we have commercial relations, including our standard marketing, promotions and application programming interface license agreements. Under these contracts, we ~~generally~~may indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by a third party with respect to intellectual property infringement, including to our ~~domain names,~~ trademarks, logos and proprietary software, and other branding elements, such as domain names, to the extent that such ~~marks~~ are applicable to our performance under the subject agreement. In certain cases, we have agreed to provide indemnification for ~~intellectual property infringement.~~gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud and breach of representations, warranties and applicable law. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, losses recorded in our ~~condensed~~ consolidated statement of income in connection with our indemnification provisions have not been significant, either individually or collectively.

Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. Our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash.

In ~~August 2021 our Board authorized an additional~~ ~~$3.0 billion~~ ~~stock repurchase program and in February 2022 our Board authorized an additional $4.0 billion stock repurchase program. These stock repurchase programs have no expiration from the date of authorization.~~

On October 29, 2021, we entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the “2021 ASR Agreements”) with two financial institutions (each a “2021 ASR Counterparty”), as part of our share repurchase program. Under the 2021 ASR Agreements, we paid an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion to the 2021 ASR Counterparties and received an initial delivery of approximately 29.3 million shares of our common stock, which were recorded as a $2.1 billion increase to treasury stock. In December 2021, the 2021 ASR Agreement with one of the 2021 ASR Counterparties settled and resulted in a delivery of approximately 3.4 million additional shares of our common stock, which were recorded as a $188 million increase to treasury stock. The remaining $188 million was evaluated as an unsettled forward contract indexed to our own stock, classified within stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2021.

In January 2022, the 2021 ASR Agreement with the remaining 2021 ASR Counterparty settled and resulted in a delivery of approximately 3.3 million additional shares of our common stock. The related forward contract was settled and recorded as a $188 million increase to treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In total under the 2021 ASR Agreements, approximately 36.0 million shares were repurchased at an average price per share of $69.43.

The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under our stock repurchase programs for the period indicated (in millions, except per share amounts):

Note 14 — Income Taxes

We are subject to both direct and indirect taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We are under examination by certain tax authorities for the 2010 to ~~2020~~2021 tax years. We believe that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from these or other examinations. The material jurisdictions where we are subject to potential examination by tax authorities for tax years after 2009 include, among others, the U.S. (Federal and California), Germany, India, Israel, ~~Singapore,~~ Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Although the timing of the resolution and/or closure of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change in the next 12 months. However, given the number of years remaining subject to examination and the number of matters being examined, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

We have recognized the tax consequences of all foreign unremitted earnings and management has no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $292 million and $526 million, respectively, of our non-current liability for deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We have not provided for deferred taxes on outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to unremitted earnings. These basis differences will be indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these other components of our outside basis difference is not practicable.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law containing provisions effective January 1, 2023, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks, both of which we expect to be immaterial to our ~~consolidated financial statements. We will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.~~

OVERVIEW

Business

eBay Inc. is a global commerce leader ~~which includes our Marketplace platforms.~~that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. Founded in 1995 in San Jose, California, eBay is one of the ~~world’s~~world's largest and most vibrant marketplaces for discovering great value and unique selection. Collectively, we connect millions of buyers and sellers around the world, empowering people and creating opportunity. Our technologies and services are designed to provide buyers choice and a breadth of relevant inventory and to enable sellers worldwide to organize and offer their inventory for sale, virtually anytime and anywhere. In 2022, we are focused on our strategic playbook — to understand the customer and their needs; build experiences they will love, at scale; and tell our story in new and different ways.

In ~~2020~~2022, and extending into ~~2021, there were changes in consumer behavior that resulted in more online shopping driven by~~ the ~~outbreak~~third quarter of ~~a coronavirus and its variants (“COVID-19”). Our Marketplace platforms~~2023, we experienced ~~elevated~~reduced traffic acquisition of small sellers and buyer acquisition due to the impacts of measures taken globally to contain the spread of COVID-19, which were unprecedented and are not expected to recur. We also experienced softness in most markets ~~during the first nine months in 2022~~ resulting from geopolitical events, inflationary pressure, foreign exchange rate volatility, elevated interest rates and lower consumer confidence. These factors ~~are~~ negatively ~~impacting~~impacted discretionary consumer spending, ~~and~~ are uncertain in ~~duration.~~

~~On June 24, 2021~~duration and we ~~completed the transfer of our Classifieds business~~expect them to Adevinta ASA (“Adevinta”), and on November 14, 2021 we completed the sale of 80.01% of the outstanding equity interests of eBay Korea LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Korea and a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay KTA (“eBay Korea”) to E-mart Inc. and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, “Emart”). The results of our eBay Korea and Classifieds businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of income for all periods presented through the respective transaction close dates as the transactions represented a strategic shift in our business that had a major effect on our operations and financial results.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~See “Note 3 — Discontinued Operations” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.~~continue throughout 2023.

Presentation

In addition to the corresponding measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management uses non-GAAP measures in reviewing our financial results. The foreign exchange neutral (“FX-Neutral”), or constant currency, net revenue amounts discussed below are non-GAAP financial measures and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the FX-Neutral information appearing in the following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information provided below in “Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance,” which includes reconciliations of FX-Neutral financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We calculate the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates, excluding hedging activity, applied to current year transactional currency amounts.

Quarter Highlights

Net revenues ~~decreased~~increased 5% to ~~$2,380~~$2,500 million ~~primarily due to a decline in traffic resulting from the normalization of consumer behavior~~ during the three months ended September 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~the elevated traffic from the impact of COVID-19 during~~ the same period in ~~2021. Net~~2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have one reportable segment to reflect the way management and our chief operating decision maker ~~(“CODM”)~~ review and assess performance of the business. Our reportable segment is Marketplace, which includes our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com, its localized counterparts and the eBay suite of mobile apps. The accounting policies of our segment are the same as those described in “Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Net Revenues

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we present revenues generated from both Marketplace GMV and non-GMV based businesses as “Net revenues” in order to more closely align our presentation of net revenues with how our business is operated. We formerly presented such amounts as “Net transaction revenues” and “Marketing services and other (MS&O) revenues,” and those line items for such prior periods have been conformed to current period presentation. Consolidated net revenues are unchanged.

Net revenues primarily include final value fees, feature fees, fees to promote listings, payment services fees, listing fees, and store subscription fees from sellers on our platforms. Our net revenues also include revenues from the sale of advertisements, revenue sharing arrangements and shipping fees. Our net revenues are reduced by incentives, including discounts, coupons and rewards, provided to our customers.

The following table presents net revenues for the periods indicated (in millions, except percentages):

Key Operating Metrics

Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”) and take rate are significant factors that we believe affect our net ~~transaction~~ revenues.

GMV consists of the total value of all paid transactions between users on our platforms during the applicable period inclusive of shipping fees and taxes. Despite GMV’s divergence from revenue, we still believe that GMV provides a useful measure of the overall volume of paid transactions that flow through our platforms in a given period.

Take rate is defined as net ~~transaction~~ revenues divided by GMV and represents net ~~transaction revenue~~revenues as a percentage of overall volume on our platforms. We believe that take rate provides a useful measure of our ability to monetize volume through marketplace services on our platforms in a given period. We use take rate to identify key revenue drivers on our marketplace.

Interest expense increased primarily due to higher rates offset by lower average notional on outstanding debt during 2023. In 2023, we repaid two tranches of senior notes at substantially lower interest rates than the senior notes that were issued during the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result, we expect continued upward pressure on interest expense throughout 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we use FX-Neutral net revenues, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in reviewing our financial results. We define FX-Neutral net revenues as net revenues minus the exchange rate effect. We define exchange rate effect as the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates applied to current year transactional currency amounts, excluding hedging activity.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

~~Table of Contents~~

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and ~~its~~ prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, we believe that the inclusion of these non-GAAP measures ~~provide~~provides consistency in our financial reporting.

Continuing Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows arise primarily from cash received from our customers on our platforms offset by cash payments for sales and marketing, employee compensation and payment processing expenses.

Cash provided by continuing operating activities of $2.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cash provided by continuing operating activities of $1.9 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 ~~compared to cash provided by continuing operating activities of $2.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021~~ was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating income from continuing operations of $450 million. The decrease in operating income was driven by a decrease in net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the elevated traffic from the impact of COVID-19 during the same period in 2021, as noted in our comments on “Net Transaction Revenues.” The remaining changes in continuing operating cash flows are attributable to working capital movements and changes in non-cash ~~items.~~items during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Continuing Investing Activities

Cash provided by continuing investing activities of ~~$3.8 billion~~$520 million in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2022~~2023 was primarily attributable to proceeds of ~~$18.2~~$11.5 billion from the maturities and sales of investments, ~~and proceeds of $1.1 billion in the aggregate from the sales of shares in Adyen and KakaoBank,~~ partially offset by cash paid for investments of ~~$15.2~~$10.6 billion and property and equipment of ~~$296~~$330 million.

The largely offsetting effects of purchases of investments and maturities and sale of investments results from the management of our investments. As our immediate cash needs change, purchase and sale activity will fluctuate.

Continuing Financing Activities

Cash used in continuing financing activities of ~~$4.5~~$2.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2022~~2023 was primarily attributable to ~~cash paid to repurchase $2.8 billion of common stock,~~ debt repayments of ~~$1.4 billion~~$1,150 million related to the redemption of our ~~3.800% senior fixed~~floating rate ~~notes due 2022~~ and ~~our 2.600%~~2.750% senior notes due ~~2022~~2023, cash paid to repurchase $1,118 million of common stock, and ~~$370~~$399 million paid in cash ~~dividends.~~dividends, partially offset by net funds receivable and payable activity of $684 million driven by changes in payment processors.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

As of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had assets classified as cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term and long-term non-equity investments, ~~from continuing operations,~~ in an aggregate amount of ~~$4.8~~$5.4 billion and ~~$7.3~~$5.9 billion, respectively. These amounts do not include cash held on behalf of customers related to marketplace activity of $430 million and $69 million, respectively, which are recorded separately within customer accounts and funds receivable with a corresponding liability within customer accounts and funds payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We believe ~~that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments,~~these assets together with cash expected to be generated from operations, borrowings available under our credit agreement and commercial paper program, and our access to capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy our material cash requirements over the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

The future impact of these events cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure that we will have access to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.

~~Senior Notes~~In January 2023, we redeemed the $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the floating rate and 2.750% senior notes due 2023. Total cash consideration paid was $1.2 billion, as the redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount.

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had ~~floating- and~~ fixed-rate senior notes outstanding for an aggregate principal amount of $7.8 billion, with ~~$1.2 billion~~$750 million payable within 12 months. The net proceeds from the issuances of these senior notes are used for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, capital expenditures, share repurchases, repayment of indebtedness and possible acquisitions.

Commercial Paper

We have a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.

Credit Agreement

~~Credit Ratings~~

As of September 30, 2022, we were rated investment grade by Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (long-term rated BBB+, short-term rated A-2, with a stable outlook) and Moody’s Investor Service (long-term rated Baa1, short-term rated P-2, with a stable outlook). We disclose these ratings to enhance the understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds. Our borrowing costs depend, in part, on our credit ratings and any actions taken by these credit rating agencies to lower our credit ratings, as described above, will likely increase our borrowing costs.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants in our outstanding debt instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For additional details related to our debt, please see “Note 9 — Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We actively monitor all counterparties that hold our cash and cash equivalents and non-equity investments, focusing primarily on the safety of principal and secondarily on improving yield on these assets. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents and investments among various counterparties in order to reduce our exposure should any one of these counterparties fail or encounter difficulties. To date, we have not experienced any material loss or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of the impact of ~~the COVID-19~~

As of September 30, 2022, we had a total of $247 million in aggregate cash deposits, partially offset by $60 million in cash withdrawals, held within the financial institution under the cash pooling arrangement. See “Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information about our cash pooling arrangement.

We have entered into various indemnification agreements and, in the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with which we have commercial relations. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these various indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, losses recorded in our ~~condensed~~ consolidated statement of income in connection with our indemnification provisions have not been significant, either individually or collectively.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our investments and outstanding debt. In addition, adverse economic conditions and events (including volatility or distress in the equity and/or debt or credit markets) may impact regional and global financial markets. These events and conditions could cause us to write down our assets or investments. We seek to reduce earnings volatility that may result from adverse economic conditions and events or changes in interest rates.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time improving yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our cash equivalents, customer accounts and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of asset types, including bank deposits, government bonds and corporate debt securities. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, approximately ~~26%~~28% of our total cash and investments was held in cash and cash ~~equivalents.~~equivalents and customer accounts. As such, changes in interest rates will impact interest income. As discussed below, the fair market values of our fixed rate securities may be adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, and we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the balance of our corporate debt and government bond securities was ~~$2.7~~$2.9 billion, which represented approximately ~~36%~~27% of our total cash and investments. Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest-earning instruments carry varying degrees of interest rate risk. The fair market value of our fixed-rate investment securities may be adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. In general, fixed-rate securities with longer maturities are subject to greater interest rate risk than those with shorter maturities. While floating rate securities generally are subject to less interest rate risk than fixed-rate securities, floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates decrease and may also suffer a decline in market value if interest rates increase. Due in part to these factors, our investment income may fall short of expectations or we may suffer losses in principal if we sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical ~~100~~1% (100 basis ~~point~~point) increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our investments of $20 million and $4$22 million as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, we had an aggregate principal amount of $7.8 billion of outstanding senior notes, of which 95% bore interest at fixed rates. During 2020, we began to hedge the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with our floating-rate debt using interest rate swaps. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert our LIBOR-based floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The total notional amount of these interest swaps was $650 million as of September 30, 2022 with terms calling for us to receive interest at a variable rate and to pay interest at a fixed rate. Our interest rate swap contracts have maturity dates in 2023. At September 30, 2022, we did not have an unhedged balance on our floating-rate debt. Additionally during the second quarter of 2022, we began to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments using forward-starting interest rate swaps. The notional amount of these swaps was $250 million as of September 30, 2022, with terms calling for us to receive interest at a variable rate and to pay interest at a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps effectively fix the benchmark interest rate up to 10 years on an anticipated debt issuance by the first quarter of 2023, and they will be terminated upon issuance of the debt. When entering into forward-starting interest rate swaps, we are subject to market risk with respect to changes in the underlying benchmark interest rate that impacts the fair value of the forward-starting interest rate swaps. We manage market risk by matching the terms of the swaps with the terms of the expected debt issuance. We considered the historical volatility of short-term interest rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that an adverse change of 100 basis points could be experienced in the near term. A hypothetical 1% (100 basis points) decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair values of our floating to fixed rate interest swaps and forward-starting interest rate swaps of approximately $20 million at September 30, 2022.

Further changes in interest rates will impact interest expense on any borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which bear interest at floating rates, and the interest rate on any commercial paper borrowings we make and any debt securities we may issue in the future and, accordingly, will impact interest expense. For additional details related to our debt, see “Note 9 — Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Equity Price Risk

Equity investments

~~On June 24,~~In 2021, we completed the transfer of our Classifieds business to Adevinta. Upon completion of the transfer we received an equity interest in Adevinta. The equity investment is accounted for under the fair value option and changes in Adevinta’s stock price and equity volatility may have a significant impact on the value of our equity investment in Adevinta. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, a one dollar change in the fair value of one share of Adevinta’s common stock, holding other factors constant, would increase or decrease the fair value of the investment by approximately ~~$405~~$404 million.

~~In August 2021, KakaoBank completed its initial public offering which resulted in this investment having a readily determinable~~The fair ~~value. Previously this investment was accounted for as an~~value of our equity investment ~~without a readily determinable fair value.~~in KakaoBank is measured based on closing stock price and prevailing foreign exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Valuation of equity investments with readily determinable fair values can be obtained from real time quotes in active markets. Changes in KakaoBank’s stock price and equity volatility may have a significant impact on the value of our equity investment in KakaoBank. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, a one dollar change in the fair value of one share of KakaoBank’s common stock, holding other factors constant, would increase or decrease the fair value of the investment by approximately $5 million.

As further described in the “Warrant” section below, we entered into a warrant agreement in conjunction with a commercial agreement with Adyen that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitles us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. In 2021, we met the processing volume milestone target to vest the first tranche of the warrant. Upon vesting of the first tranche, we exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen. Our equity investment in Adyen is accounted for as an equity investment with a readily determinable fair value. Changes in Adyen’s common stock price and equity volatility may have a significant impact on the value of the investment. As of September 30, 2022, a one dollar change in Adyen’s common stock, holding other factors constant, would increase or decrease the fair value of the investment by less than $0.2 million.

Our remaining equity investments are primarily investments in privately-held ~~companies, including equity method investments, equity investments under the fair value option and equity investments without readily determinable fair values.~~companies. Our consolidated results of operations include, as a component of gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net, our share of the net income or loss of the equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, ~~and~~or the change in fair value of the equity method investments accounted for under the fair value option. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are accounted for at cost, less impairment and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes obtained from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments issued by the same investee. Such changes in the basis of the equity investment are recognized in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.Equity investments under the fair value option are measured at fair value based on a quarterly valuation analysis and are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the equity investment. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on equity investments and warrant, net.

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, our equity investments totaled ~~$3.1~~$4.6 billion, which represented approximately ~~39%~~44% of our total cash and investments, and primarily related to our equity investment in Adevinta.

For additional details related to these investments, please see “Note 6 — Investments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Warrant

We entered into a warrant agreement in conjunction with a commercial agreement with Adyen that, subject to meeting certain conditions, entitles us to acquire a fixed number of shares up to 5% of Adyen’s fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital at a specific date. As discussed above, in 2021 we met the processing volume milestone target to vest the first tranche of the warrant, and we exercised the option to purchase shares of Adyen. The remaining tranches of the warrant are accounted for as a derivative instrument under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in Adyen’s common stock price and equity volatility may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, a one dollar change in the fair value of one share of Adyen’s common stock, holding other factors constant, would increase or decrease the fair value of the warrant by approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million. For additional details related to the warrant, please see “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our commerce platforms operate globally, resulting in certain revenues and costs that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and euro, subjecting us to foreign currency risk, which may adversely impact our financial results. We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues as well as costs. In addition, we charge our international subsidiaries for their use of intellectual property and technology and for certain corporate services we provide. Our cash flow and results of operations that are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations may differ materially from expectations and we may record significant gains or losses due to foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities.

We have a foreign exchange exposure management program designed to identify material foreign currency exposures, manage these exposures and reduce the potential effects of currency fluctuations on our reported ~~condensed~~ consolidated cash flows and results of operations through the purchase of foreign currency exchange contracts. The effectiveness of the program and resulting usage of foreign exchange derivative contracts is at times limited by our ability to achieve cash flow hedge ~~accounting or net investment hedge accounting, as applicable.~~accounting. For additional details related to our derivative instruments, please see “Note 7 — Derivative Instruments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We use foreign exchange derivative contracts to help protect our forecasted U.S. dollar-equivalent earnings from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse currency exchange rate movements. Most of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. For contracts not designated as cash flow hedges for ~~hedge~~ accounting purposes, the derivative’s gain or loss is recognized immediately in earnings in our ~~condensed~~ consolidated statement of income. However, only certain revenue and costs are eligible for cash flow hedge accounting.

Table of Contents

The following table illustrates the fair values of outstanding foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange contracts not designated for hedge accounting and the before-tax effect on fair values of a hypothetical adverse change in the foreign exchange rates that existed as of September 30, ~~2022.~~2023. The sensitivity for foreign currency contracts is based on a 20% adverse change in foreign exchange rates, against relevant functional currencies.


		Fair Value Asset/(Liability)		Fair Value Sensitivity			Fair Value Asset/(Liability)		Fair Value Sensitivity
		(In millions)					(In millions)
Foreign exchange contracts - Cash flow hedges	Foreign exchange contracts - Cash flow hedges	$	238	$	(228)	Foreign exchange contracts - Cash flow hedges	$	63	$	(103)
Foreign exchange contracts - Not designated for hedge accounting	Foreign exchange contracts - Not designated for hedge accounting	$	37	$	(106)	Foreign exchange contracts - Not designated for hedge accounting	$	14	$	(57)

Since our risk management programs are highly effective, the potential loss in value described above would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.

We also use foreign exchange contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk on our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. These contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our assets and liabilities. The foreign currency gains and losses on the assets and liabilities are recorded in interest and other, net, which are offset by the gains and losses on the foreign exchange contracts.

We considered the historical trends in currency exchange rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that adverse changes in exchange rates of 20% for all currencies could be experienced in the near term. These changes would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before income taxes of approximately $1$7 million as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 taking into consideration the offsetting effect of foreign exchange forwards in place as of September 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

The information set forth under “Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation and Other Legal Matters” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

~~Risk Factors:~~

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition including not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in ~~our Annual Report on~~the 2022 Form ~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”).~~10-K. Current global economic and geopolitical events and conditions may amplify many of these risks. These risks are not the only risks that may affect us. Additional risks that we are not aware of or do not believe are material at the time of this filing may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. ~~There~~Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors ~~since~~from those disclosed in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

We are using artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, including generative AI (“GAI”), in our product and service offerings. GAI technology is new and developing and may present compliance, operational and reputational risks.

We are increasingly building GAI features into some of our products and services and are making investments in expanding our GAI capabilities. As part of this process, we also utilize GAI tools offered by third-party providers in the development and testing of our offerings. GAI is a new and emerging technology in its early stages of commercial use and presents certain inherent risks. GAI algorithms are based on machine learning and predictive analytics, which can create unintended biases and discriminatory outcomes, and outputs can be completely fabricated or false (e.g., GAI hallucinatory behavior). There is a risk that our algorithms could produce such outcomes or other unexpected results or behaviors that could harm our reputation, business, or buyers and sellers.

In addition, the use of AI may involve significant technical complexity and requires specialized expertise. Any disruption or failure in our AI systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party providers, could result in delays or errors in our operations, which could harm our business and financial results. The use of GAI tools could also result in a greater likelihood of cybersecurity incidents, privacy violations and inadvertent disclosures of our intellectual property or other confidential information, any of which could either directly or indirectly harm our business, operations and reputation.

The AI regulatory landscape is still uncertain and evolving, and the development and use of AI technologies, including GAI, in new or existing products may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns or other complications that could be costly and time-consuming and could adversely affect our business, reputation or financial results. The intellectual property ownership and license rights, including copyrights, surrounding AI technologies, including GAI, has not been fully addressed by U.S. courts or other federal, state or international laws or regulations, and the use or adoption of third-party GAI technologies into our products and services may result in exposure to claims of copyright infringement or other intellectual property misappropriation, which could harm our business and financial results.

(1)In August 2021 our Board authorized an additional $3.0 billion stock repurchase program and in February 2022 our Board authorized an additional $4.0 billion stock repurchase program. These stock repurchase programs have no expiration from the date of authorization.

Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. These stock repurchase programs have no expiration from the date of authorization.

During the three months ended September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we repurchased approximately ~~$301~~$651 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase programs. AsOf the additional $4.0 billion stock repurchase program authorized by our Board in February 2022, as of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023 a total of approximately ~~$3.1~~$1.7 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common ~~stock under our stock repurchase programs.~~stock.

We expect, subject to market conditions and other uncertainties, to continue making opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock. However, our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash.
