Shopify Investor Event Presentation Deck
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains forward-looking statements/forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws, including, but not limited
to, statements about the Shopify Fulfillment Network, in particular its planned development, scheduled rollout, and projected volume, as well as the expected amount and timing
of our investment in the Shopify Fulfilment Network over the next five years.
These statements are based on our management's current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on management's perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions management believes are appropriate, including but not limited to: our expectation that incremental
revenue from the Shopify Fulfillment Network will largely offset the costs; our expectations with respect to costs associated with each phase; our expectation that the bulk of the
investment will come as the project scales; our ability to develop the Shopify Fulfillment Network; our ability to expand our merchant base, retain revenue from existing
merchants and increase sales to new and existing merchants through channel, checkout and marketing; our ability to manage our growth effectively and hire, retain and
motivate qualified personnel; our belief that our investments and acquisitions will increase our revenue base, improve the retention of this base and strengthen our ability to
increase sales to our merchants and help drive our growth; our ability to achieve our revenue growth objectives while controlling costs and expenses; our intention to continue
to grow internationally; our ability to leverage transactional data; and our assumptions as to our future expenses and financing requirements.
Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on the statements, which are not a guarantee of future results or outcomes. Although we believe that the statements and
underlying assumptions are reasonable, the statements relate to future events and performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
are, in some cases, beyond our control. These risks are described in further detail in the section of our Annual Information Form entitled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our
publicly available filings, and include, but are not limited to, risks relating to: merchant acquisition and retention; managing our growth; our ability to innovate; the security of
personal information we store relating to merchants and their buyers, as well as buyers with whom we have a direct relationship; our potential inability to hire, retain and
motivate qualified personnel; international sales and the use of our platform in various countries; our potential inability to compete successfully; the reliance of our growth in part
on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties; and other important factors disclosed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the
various Canadian securities regulatory authorities. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may
vary materially from those implied or projected by the statements.
The statements are forward-looking and represent our views as of the current date. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change.
Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation that the statements will be achieved and we undertake no duty to update the statements except as required
by law. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders in understanding our business and objectives,
and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
