Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include factors relating to: the Company's need to attract additional merchants, partners and consumers and retain and grow its relationships with existing merchants, partners and
consumers; the highly competitive nature of its industry; its need to maintain a consistently high level of consumer satisfaction and trust in its brand; the concentration of a large percentage of its revenue and GMV with
a small number of merchant partners and commerce platforms; its ability to sustain its revenue 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 be renewed or replaced or its existing funding sources that may be unwilling or unable to provide funding to it on terms acceptable to it, or at all; its ability
to effectively underwrite loans facilitated through its platform and accurately price credit risk; the performance of loans facilitated through its platform; changes in market interest rates; its securitizations, warehouse
credit facilities and forward flow agreements; the impact on its business of general economic conditions, the financial performance of its merchants, and fluctuations in the U.S. consumer credit market; its ability to grow
effectively through acquisitions or other strategic investments or alliances; seasonal fluctuations in its revenue as a result of consumer spending patterns; pending and future litigation, regulatory actions and/or
compliance issues; and other risks that are described in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.
