Shopify Investor Presentation Deck
Safe harbor
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's
current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on management's perception of
historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors
management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Although we believe that the plans,
intentions, expectations, assumptions and strategies reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this
presentation are based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions, investors are
cautioned against placing undue reliance on these statements since actual results may vary from
the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could
materially affect our results. These risks include the risks due to the uncertainty around the
duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic and actions
taken in response on global and regional economies and economic activity and are described in
further detail in our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31,
2021 and in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form for the year ended
December 31, 2021 available on www.sec.gov and on www.sedar.com and elsewhere in our
filings with regulatory agencies. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our
underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those
expressed, implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. References to long-term
trends in our model are forward-looking and made as of the current date. Nothing in this
presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these long-term trends
will be achieved and we undertake no duty to update these long-term trends or any other
forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, except as required by law.
We believe that the case studies presented in this presentation provide a representative sample
of how our merchants have been able to use various features of our platform to grow their
respective businesses. References in this presentation to increased visits, growth and sales
following implementation of our platform do not necessarily mean that our platform was the only
factor contributing to such increases.

accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items.

information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a
supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the slides titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and
"Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Figures" for further information.
