THIRD QUARTER KEY RESULTS
Net income includes a gain of $37 million as a result of the initial public offering (IPO) of Eventbrite and subsequentmark-to-market valuation of our Eventbrite investment. In August 2017, we invested $25 million for preferred shares of Eventbrite, which converted into common stock in connection with the IPO. In September 2018, upon Eventbrite’s IPO, we revalued this investment and will subsequently carry it at fair market value, with changes in fair market value being recorded in other income or expense. A reconciliation ofnon-GAAP financial measures used in this letter to their nearest GAAP equivalents is provided at the end of this letter. Adjusted Revenue is total net revenue less transaction-based costs and bitcoin costs, and excludes the effect of deferred revenue adjustment related to purchase accounting. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Revenue.

A larger sellergenerates more than $125,000 in annualized GPV.
We launched Square Terminal, a portable,all-in-one payments device to replace traditional keypad terminals.
Our sellers expect fast, differentiated hardware and our latest device delivers. We designed Square Terminalin-house with a bright, 5.5” touchscreen, making it a modern, elegant replacement for traditional keypad terminals. Square Terminal accepts all payment types, including tap, dip, and swipe, and also prints receipts. The cloud-based interface is self-serve, so sellers, employees, and customers can use it right away, and software updates are automatic. Unlike payment devices from other providers, Square Terminal has one transparent processing rate and aone-time hardware cost—there are no long-term contracts or early-termination fees.
Square Terminal expands our addressable market to serve new sellers and new use cases. It is ideal for sellers with crowded countertops, such as doctors’ offices, dry cleaners, and the much-beloved bodegas (i.e., corner stores). The compact size and portability of Square Terminal enable the seller to also meet the buyer beyond the countertop—customers on the sales floor in a distributed retail environment, patients in a physician’s treatment room, or diners at their table in a restaurant. We see a significant market opportunity for Square Terminal, as there are nearly two million stand-alone payment terminal devices in the U.S. alone.¹
Lighthouse is a full-service Mediterranean restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, that uses Square for Restaurants to managein-person dining and Caviar for delivery. Lighthouse’s core values include operating a sustainable business, treating employees fairly, and connecting with diners. The Lighthouse team is able to provide a better, more efficient experience for both servers and diners by using Square Terminal for tableside payments: Diners no longer have to wait for servers to complete the multistep checkout process. Digital receipts allow diners to provide immediate feedback, enable servers to expediteend-of-shift tip reconciliation, and reduce paper waste. Lighthouse is adding seating and continues to grow rapidly.
We also updated existing hardware. Our iconic Square Reader for magstripe is now directly compatible with Apple’s Lightning port to help our sellers manage technology shifts so they can focus on their customers. Hardware like Square Reader for magstripe is a powerful acquisition channel because it makes it easy for sellers to begin acceptingin-person card payments. Once sellers are part of the Square ecosystem, we also help them grow: In the third quarter of 2018, over 40% of larger-seller GPV came from sellers that started on Square as micro sellers.
With Square Terminal, sellers receive access to the full Square ecosystem, which includes dispute management, PCI compliance, Instant Deposit, Square Capital, and more.
SELLER HIGHLIGHT
There are three times a diner is looking at their watch: when they come in and are waiting for the host, when they’re waiting for a table, and when they’re ready to leave. The faster we can make the payment process, the better, and Terminal makes things much faster.”

Sellers often have established business systems that are tailored to their individual needs. Our developer platform consists of APIs and SDKs that enable sellers (or developers) to connect Square with these systems.
AnAPI is an application programming interface. Developers use APIs to more easily share information and use functionality from another application.
AnSDK is a software development kit. Developers use SDKs to create applications with advanced functionalities.
ISV stands for independent software vendor, which is an organization specializing in making and selling software designed for mass or niche markets.
¹ First Annapolis Consulting, Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Primary Research & Research Panel Information, November 2016.
We are expanding our developer platform and launched Square Reader SDK so that sellers can use Square hardware with the point of sale that works best for their business.
Developers use Square Reader SDK to integrate Square hardware with a seller’s custom point of sale, allowing them to build unique checkout experiences such as self-ordering kiosks and line-busting apps. This SDK enables developers to build a seamless payment experience with no switching between the seller’s point of sale and Square’s payment flow. A solution built with Square Reader SDK gives sellers all the benefits of Square’s ecosystem and managed payments offering such as PCI compliance,next-day settlements, and data security.
We designed Square Reader SDK to be simple and intuitive. With only a few lines of code, a developer can easily enable a point of sale to accept tap, dip, and swipe payments with Square hardware. The SDK also helps us reach larger sellers: As of September 2018, the average annualized GPV of a seller using Square Reader SDK was nearly $500,000. And it is particularly useful for sellers that are seeking to differentiate their brand with a unique,in-store experience.
Joe & The Juice is a fast-growing coffee and juice chain. The company has a custom point of sale—developed specifically for its business—that it wanted to use in itsin-store terminal. When choosing a payments provider, Joe prioritized affordable hardware and easy setup so the solution could be quickly scaled to dozens of terminals. Additionally, the business valued Square’s tipping functionality and digital receipts. Joe has over 50 stores in the U.S., each with custom, scalablepoint-of-sale terminals built with Square Reader SDK.
Square Reader SDK also allows us to better serve sellers for which we do not have industry-specificpoint-of-sale solutions, such as those in transportation and health care. Square is now able to integrate with relevant ISVs in these industries, half of which have not yet integrated payments into their solutions.¹
DrChrono is a platform that helps health-care professionals manage electronic health records (EHR), medical billing, and revenue. In the past, practice groups using DrChrono would have to manually inputin-person payments. Now, with Square Reader SDK, when a medical practitioner accepts anin-person payment with Square hardware, the transaction data is automatically linked with the patient’s profile in DrChrono. This can save medical practitioners valuable time, improve accuracy, and create a more complete patient record.

1 Buyers can finance purchases between $250 and $10,000.
2 Based on a survey of 500 Square sellers that sell high-ticket items and services ($250+), conducted from May to June 2018. The survey defines financing options as offering customers the ability to pay for their purchases in monthly installments over a specified time period, through partnership with a third-party financial institution.
3 Based on an online survey of 2,000 U.S. adults over the age of 18 conducted by Square in August 2018. Results are weighted to approximate demographic representation in line with the U.S. Census.
4 Based on business performance from September 2017 to May 2018.
Square Installments, our new purchase financing product, gives sellers a growth tool that helps them never miss a sale.
With Square Installments, sellers can offer their buyers the option to split large purchases¹ into fixed monthly payments. This helps our sellers grow by driving incremental sales. The ability to offer purchase financing has typically been accessible only to larger sellers because it can be complicated and time consuming, and often requires high minimum volumes. A survey of Square sellers shows that 70% currently do not offer financing for customers.²
Square Installments is a strong fit for many of our sellers and their buyers. In the third quarter of 2018, Square processed over 10 million transactions greater than $250 in the U.S. alone. These purchases are often for products that have a long, useful life, such as furniture, auto repairs, or home renovations, and many buyers seek payment flexibility: 76% of individuals believe financing options help them effectively manage their budget.³ Buyers apply online for Square Installments in just a few steps by providing identity and financial information, and see the total cost of borrowing before completing the purchase. Buyers receive a response in real time, and once approved, they can use Installments anywhere the seller accepts payments with Square: in Square Point of Sale, Square Invoices, or on their website.
Fly1 Motorsports creates custom body parts for cars in Southern California and has been with Square for two years. Owner Lohit Pattanaik wanted to offer his customers purchase financing but was told by other providers that his business wasn’t large enough to qualify. With Square Installments, Lohit believes that his customers aren’t just more willing to make a purchase, they’re more willing to make larger purchases. Fly1 Motorsports’ average order size on Square Invoices has increased 55% and overall sales have increased by more than 20%.4

Discussion
GROSS PAYMENT VOLUME (GPV)
In the third quarter of 2018, we processed $22.5 billion in GPV, up 29% year over year. We continue to see strength from larger sellers. GPV from this group grew 41% year over year and accounted for 52% of total GPV, up from 48% in the third quarter of 2017.
REVENUE
Total net revenue was $882 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 51% year over year. This includes $43 million of bitcoin revenue. Excluding bitcoin revenue, total net revenue was $839 million, up 43% year over year. Adjusted Revenue was $431 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 68% year over year. Excluding the acquisitions of Weebly and Zesty,¹ total net revenue and Adjusted Revenue grew 46% and 56% year over year, respectively, which represents an acceleration compared to the prior quarter.
Transaction-based revenue was $655 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 29% year over year. Transaction-based profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.07% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 1.05% in the third quarter of 2017. Transaction-based profit continued to benefit from improvements in our transaction cost profile and growth in our higher-margin products. For example, Virtual Terminal, which allows sellers to accept payments using a web browser, totaled more than $780 million in GPV in the third quarter, up nearly 120% year over year.
Subscription and services-based revenue was $166 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 155% year over year. Subscription and services-based revenue excluding the acquisitions of Weebly and Zesty was $141 million, up 117% year over year. Growth was driven primarily by Instant Deposit, Cash Card, Caviar, and Square Capital. Adjusted Revenue from subscription and services-based revenue was $172 million, up 165% year over year. In the third quarter of 2018, Square Capital facilitated over 62,000 business loans totaling $405 million, up 34% year over year.²
Hardware revenue in the third quarter of 2018 was $18 million, up 74% year over year, with continued growth from Square Register, Square Reader for contactless and chip, Square Stand, and third-party peripherals.

OPERATING EXPENSES / EARNINGS
Operating expenses were $363 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 55% year over year, representing 41% of total net revenue.Non-GAAP operating expenses were up 56% year over year, representing 67% of Adjusted Revenue.
• | Product development expenses were $136 million on a GAAP basis and $88 million on anon-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2018, up 64% and 66%, respectively, year over year. This primarily reflects increases in personnel costs related to our engineering, data science, and design teams, as well as the acquisition of Weebly. |
• | Sales and marketing expenses were $116 million on a GAAP basis and $109 million on anon-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2018, up 75% and 77%, respectively, year over year. This increase was driven primarily by Cash App expenses, growth in advertising expenditures, and personnel costs. |
• | General and administrative expenses were $86 million on a GAAP basis and $69 million on anon-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2018, up 33% and 33%, respectively, year over year. The increase was due primarily to additions to finance, legal, and support personnel, as well asnon-recurring acquisition-related costs. |
• | Transaction, loan, and advance losses were $24 million in the third quarter of 2018. Transaction losses as a percentage of GPV continue to trend below our 0.1% historical average, underscoring ongoing improvements in risk management. |
Net income in the third quarter of 2018 was $20 million, compared to a net loss of $16 million in the third quarter of 2017. Net income includes a gain of $37 million as a result of the IPO and subsequentmark-to-market valuation of our Eventbrite investment. Net income per share was $0.05 and $0.04 on a basic and diluted basis, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018, based on 410 million weighted-average basic shares and 475 million weighted-average diluted shares. This compares to a net loss per share of $0.04 in the third quarter of 2017 on both a basic and diluted basis. Excluding the effect of Eventbrite, basic and diluted net loss per share in the third quarter of 2018 would have been $0.04.
Adjusted EBITDA was $71 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $34 million in the third quarter of 2017, up 107% year over year. We achieved an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16%, compared with 13% in the third quarter of 2017.
Adjusted Net Income Per Share (Adjusted EPS) was $0.13 based on 495 million weighted-average diluted shares for the third quarter of 2018, representing a $0.06 improvement year over year.

On March 6, 2017, we completed an offering for $440 million in convertible senior notes. In the third quarter of 2018, $70 million of these notes converted. The convertible senior notes mature in 2022 with a coupon of 0.375%.
BALANCE SHEET / CASH FLOW
We ended the third quarter of 2018 with $1.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities, down $78 million compared to the end of the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan contributed positively to our cash balance.
We also saw cash outflows related to principal payments on certain convertible notes. Specifically, in the third quarter, holders converted an aggregate principal of $70 million of their 2022 senior convertible notes. The company settled the principal amount in cash and the balance by issuing 2.2 million shares of our Class A common stock. We expect to settle an additional $149 million principal of the 2022 notes in cash during the fourth quarter of 2018. Subsequent conversions will be settled entirely in shares of our Class A common stock.

Based on our results in the third quarter, we are raising our full-year guidance for total net revenue, Adjusted Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the ongoing momentum of our business. Given the significant market opportunity ahead of us, we will continue to reinvest in our business to drive future growth.
We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to their GAAP equivalents as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense and weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding. Accordingly, a reconciliation of thesenon-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to these reconciling items could have a significant effect on our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance and future GAAP results. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP tonon-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this letter.

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we consider certain operating and financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share (Adjusted EPS), andnon-GAAP operating expenses. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitateperiod-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of other payments solution providers.
We define Gross Payment Volume (GPV) as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds. Additionally, GPV includes Cash App activity related topeer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card, and Cash for Business.
Adjusted Revenue is anon-GAAP financial measure that we define as our total net revenue less transaction-based costs and bitcoin costs, and we add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue adjustment, which was written down to fair value in purchase accounting. We believe it is useful to subtract transaction-based costs and bitcoin costs from total net revenue to derive Adjusted Revenue as this is a primary metric used by management to measure our business performance, and it affords
greater comparability to other payments solution providers. Substantially all of the transaction-based costs are interchange and assessment fees, processing fees, and bank settlement fees paid to third-party payment processors and financial institutions. While some payments solution providers present their revenue in a similar fashion to us, others present their revenue net of transaction-based costs because, unlike us, they pass through these costs directly to their sellers and are not deemed the principal in these arrangements. Under our standard pricing model, we do not pass through these costs directly to our sellers. We deduct bitcoin costs because we consider our role in the bitcoin transactions to be facilitating customer access to bitcoin. Since we only apply a small margin to the market cost of bitcoin when we sell bitcoin to customers, and we have no control over the cost of bitcoin in the market, which tends to be volatile, we believe deducting bitcoin costs is a better reflection of the economic benefits as well as the Company’s performance from the bitcoin transactions. We recognize acquired deferred revenue that was written down for purchase accounting since we believe that it is correlated with ordinary and ongoing operations of the acquired company and facilitates analysis of revenue growth and business trends. We define Adjusted Revenue from subscription and services as the total net subscription and services-based revenue adjusted to add back the impact of the write-down adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. We add back this deferred revenue that was written down since we believe it is correlated with ordinary and ongoing operations of the acquired company and facilitates analysis of revenue growth and business trends. The acquired deferred revenue adjustment was not included in prior periods because it was immaterial or zero. Adjusted Revenue has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share (Adjusted EPS), andnon-GAAP operating expenses arenon-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs in connection with our offering of convertible senior notes in the first quarter of 2017 and in the second quarter of 2018, the gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment, gain or loss on revaluation of equity investment, gain or loss on debt extinguishment related to the conversion of senior notes and impairment of intangible assets, as applicable. We also exclude certain costs associated with acquisitions that are not normal recurring operating expenses, including amounts paid to redeem acquirees’ unvested stock-based compensation awards, and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs, and we add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue and deferred cost adjustment, which was written down to fair value in purchase accounting. Such amounts were not included in prior periods as they were immaterial or zero. In addition to the items above, Adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP operating expenses arenon-GAAP financial measures that also exclude depreciation, other cash interest income and expense, other income and expense, and provision or benefit from income taxes, as applicable. Basic Adjusted Net Income Per Share is computed by dividing the Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Revenue.
We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures forperiod-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certainnon-cash items and certain variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Thesenon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
