growth rate or the growth rate of its related key operating metrics; the terms of its agreement with one of its originating bank partners; its existing funding arrangements that may not

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States ("GAAP"), we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: revenue less transaction costs, revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV, adjusted operating
loss and adjusted operating margin. We also present certain operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis, as well as those non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of GAAP
total revenue. Definitions of each non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliations of each historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure are included in this presentation. However, a reconciliation of adjusted operating loss to the comparable GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure
of our operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for
supplemental informational purposes only, and our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool. Accordingly, you should not consider these non-
GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered along with
other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the
reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our
business.
