Building Momentum with Strategic Partnerships

Important strategic partnerships are broadening the relevance of PayPal's platform and increasing PayPal's addressable market. Recently, PayPal announced the following agreements:

• Baidu: Today, PayPal announced a partnership with Baidu to allow Chinese consumers to pay with Baidu Wallet and PayPal at PayPal’s millions of merchants outside of China.
• BofA: Enables Bank of America-issued cards to be easily added to PayPal accounts.
• Citi: Enables eligible Citi cardmembers to use their ThankYou Points to pay for all or part of their purchases when shopping online at millions of merchants that accept PayPal in the United States.
• JPMorgan Chase: Enables Chase-issued cards to be easily added to PayPal accounts and allows joint customers to use their Chase Ultimate Rewards points anywhere PayPal is accepted online and in app.
• Visa: Existing partnership agreement extended into Europe.
• Samsung Pay: Users of Samsung Pay in the U.S. will be able to use PayPal to make purchases in stores where Samsung Pay is accepted.
• Apple: iTunes users can buy games, music, movies and in app purchases with PayPal in the Apple App Store, iBooks, Apple Music and iTunes stores in 12 countries, including the U.S., Australia and parts of Europe.
• Google: Android Pay users on Google’s Chrome mobile web will be able to pay at millions of online merchants that accept PayPal, using their PayPal account and fingerprint authentication.

Expanding Value Proposition with Product Innovation

Mobile-first product development focus is driving performance across PayPal's business. PayPal processed $106 billion in TPV in the quarter. Approximately 34% of payment volume came through a mobile device and mobile payment volume increased 50% over the same period last year to approximately $36 billion. In addition, Venmo, the company's social payments platform, processed $8.0 billion of TPV, growing 103% over the same period last year.

PayPal finished the quarter with more than 60 million consumer accounts opted in to One Touch. In addition, more than 5.5 million merchant accounts and 75% of the Internet Retailer 100 now accept One Touch on their mobile and desktop shopping experiences.

On July 18, 2017, PayPal announced the closing of the acquisition of TIO Networks for approximately $238 million. TIO is a leading cloud-based, multi-channel bill payment processor, serving leading telecom, wireless, cable, and utility bill issuers in North America. Through this acquisition, PayPal intends to expand its scale of operations, complement its product portfolio, and accelerate its entry into the bill pay market, enabling millions of customers to improve their financial health through access to TIO's valuable services.

FX-neutral growth rates are calculated by comparing the current period FX-neutral results by the prior period results, excluding the impact from hedging activities.

As a result, certain amounts may not sum or recalculate using the rounded dollar amounts provided.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and free cash flow. For an explanation of the foregoing non-GAAP measures, please see “Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance” included in this press release. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, the company has included certain pro forma adjustments in its presentation of certain historical revenue measures. The company believes that this presentation provides investors a consistent basis for assessing the company’s performance and helps to facilitate comparisons across different periods. These pro forma adjustments reflect items that are factually supportable, directly attributable to the separation of the company from eBay Inc. on July 17, 2015, and expected to have a continuing impact on the company’s results of operations.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and free cash flow.

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 the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate the company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included in this press release.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the company's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, as the case may be, that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, because the company has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company's financial reporting.

For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, the company's management uses financial measures that do not include stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, restructuring-related charges, other certain gains, losses or charges that are not indicative of the company's core operating results and the income taxes associated with the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, the company's management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in reviewing the financial results of the company.

The company excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate:

Stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes. This consists of expenses for equity awards under our equity incentive plans. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses. The related employer payroll taxes are dependent on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe it correlates to the operation of our business.

Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and transaction expenses from the acquisition or disposal of a business. We incur amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets and goodwill in connection with acquisitions and may incur significant gains or losses from the acquisition or disposal of a business and therefore exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP measures. We exclude these items because management does not believe they are reflective of our ongoing operating results.

Restructuring. These consist of significant expenses for employee severance and other exit and disposal costs. The company excludes significant restructuring charges primarily because management does not believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.

Certain other significant gains, losses, or charges that are not indicative of the company’s core operating results. These expenses are significant gains, losses, or charges during a period that are the result of isolated events or transactions which have not occurred frequently in the past and are not expected to occur regularly or be repeated in the future. The company excludes these amounts from its results primarily because management does not believe they are indicative of its current or ongoing operating results.

Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. This amount is used to present stock-based compensation and the other amounts described above on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net income.

The company also uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less purchases of property and equipment. The company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, buildings, and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the company's business, make strategic acquisitions, and repurchase stock. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for the period.

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, the company also analyzes certain measures, including net revenues and operating expenses, on an FX-neutral basis to better measure the comparability of operating results between periods. The company believes that changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not indicative of the company’s operations and evaluating growth in net revenues and operating expenses on an FX-neutral basis provides an additional meaningful and comparable assessment of these measures to both management and investors. FX-neutral results are calculated by translating the current period’s local currency results by the prior period’s exchange rate. FX-neutral growth rates are calculated by comparing the current period's FX-neutral results by the prior period's results, excluding the impact from hedging activities.
