Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include factors relating
to: our need to attract additional merchants, partners and consumers and retain and grow our relationships with existing merchants, partners and consumers; the highly competitive
nature of our industry; our need to maintain a consistently high level of consumer satisfaction and trust in our brand; the concentration of a large percentage of our revenue with a
single merchant partner; our ability to sustain our revenue growth rate or the growth rate of our related key operating metrics; risks relating to our agreement with one of our
originating bank partners; the risk that our existing funding arrangements may not be renewed or replaced or our existing funding sources may be unwilling or unable to provide
funding to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all; our ability to effectively underwrite loans facilitated through our platform and accurately price credit risk; the performance of loans
facilitated through our platform; risks associated with changes in market interest rates; risks relating to our securitizations, warehouse credit facilities and forward flow agreements;
the impact on our business of general economic conditions, the financial performance of our merchants, and fluctuations in the U.S. consumer credit market; our ability to grow
effectively through acquisitions or other strategic investments or alliances; risks associated with expanding our operations internationally; the potential impact of any cyber-attacks,
misconduct, computer viruses, or physical or electronic break-ins that we might experience; risks associated with our business being subject extensive regulation, examination, and
oversight in a variety of areas; and other risks that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021 and in our other filings with the SEC. These
forward-looking statements reflect our views with respect to future events as of the date hereof and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these
uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and we assume no
obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
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, revenue less transaction costs
as a percentage of revenue, adjusted other operating expense as a percentage of revenue, and adjusted operating margin. 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.View entire presentation
