3yr CAGR YoY Growth

In the third quarter of 2022, total net revenue was $4.52 billion, up 17% year over year, and, excluding bitcoin revenue, total net revenue was $2.75 billion, up 36% year over year. Excluding bitcoin revenue and revenue from the buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platform, total net revenue was $2.54 billion, up 25% year over year. The BNPL platform was acquired through the acquisition of Afterpay.

The following items affected net income (loss) during the respective periods. In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized $56 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and a $2 million bitcoin impairment loss. In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized $57 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, a $36 million bitcoin impairment loss, and $17 million in deal and integration-related expenses. In the first quarter of 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain of $50 million driven by the revaluation of equity investments, as well as Afterpay-related charges of $42 million of deal and integration-related expenses, $31 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, and $66 million of one-time accelerated stock-based compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss of $6 million driven by the adjustment to the revaluation of equity investments. In the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss of $7 million driven by the adjustment to the revaluation of equity investments as well as a $6 million bitcoin impairment loss.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this letter to their nearest GAAP equivalents are provided at the end of this letter.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the mean annual growth rate over a specified time period. Given the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have lasted for more than two years, ranging from March 2020 through today, we believe using three-year CAGRs from 2019 to 2022 better reflects underlying growth trends through the third quarter of 2022.

	To Our Shareholders

November 3, 2022 In the third quarter, gross profit was affected by $19 million of amortization of acquired technology assets, the majority of which was due to the acquisition of the BNPL platform.	We delivered strong growth at scale during the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit grew 38% year over year to $1.57 billion, up 46% on a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis. Excluding our BNPL platform, gross profit was $1.42 billion, up 25% year over year and 42% on a three-year CAGR basis. Our Cash App ecosystem delivered gross profit of $774 million, an increase of 51% year over year and, excluding our BNPL platform, 37% year over year. Our Square ecosystem delivered gross profit of $783 million, an increase of 29% year over year and, excluding our BNPL platform, 17% year over year.	Q3 2022 GROSS PROFIT

A transacting active is a Cash App account that has at least one financial transaction using any product or service within Cash App during the specified period. A transacting active for a specific Cash App product has at least one financial transaction using that product during the specified period and is referred to as an active. Certain of these accounts may share an alias identifier with one or more other transacting active accounts. This could represent, among other things, one customer with multiple accounts or multiple customers sharing one alias identifier (for example, families).

Cash App Ecosystem

We use our inflows framework to assess the performance of Cash App’s gross profit as a result of three primary variables: (1) Actives, (2) Inflows per Active, and (3) Monetization Rate on Inflows. We are investing in the following development pillars: Community, Financial Services, Crypto, Operating System, Trust, Commerce, and Global. This quarter we made notable progress on the Community, Financial Services, and Commerce fronts, which meaningfully contributed to gross profit growth.

Community

Cash App’s peer-to-peer network has been an important asset and the most critical driver of overall actives growth. To accelerate the virality of our network, we have used targeted marketing programs to expand our reach into new, high-value audiences, and we remain disciplined with marketing spend. We meaningfully grew our network to more than 49 million transacting actives in September, up approximately 20% year over year.

Financial Services

Banking product adoption remains a primary focus as Cash App continues to serve customers beyond peer-to-peer payments, thereby deepening our relationship with customers. Our suite of banking products, such as Cash App Card and direct deposit, have had some of the fastest-growing attach rates across our ecosystem. In September, Cash App Card had nearly 18 million monthly actives, or more than 35% of monthly actives. We believe we can continue to grow attach rates as we build out world-class products such as personalized Boosts and investing round-ups, while also enhancing trust and security features.

Driving inflows per active starts with our customers’ ability to easily fund their Cash App accounts through ways such as direct deposit, paper money and check deposits, and bank transfers. In September, customers received more than $2 billion in direct deposits into their Cash App accounts, and we reached nearly $3.5 billion in all-time paper money deposits since launching the functionality one year ago. Paper money deposits have increased inflows and can also drive customer trust and share of wallet as we expand use cases.

We believe our ability to drive inflows per active starts with our customers’ ability to easily fund their Cash App accounts through various ways — such as direct deposit, paper money and check deposits, and bank transfers.

  BLOCK  Q3 2022  4

During the third quarter, we streamlined our customers’ ability to bank with Cash App, including allowing customers to receive an account and routing number instantly when ordering a Cash App Card. This has reduced friction for those in need of banking services and we have seen a meaningful uplift in direct deposit conversion. These initiatives have been a key driver in growing inflows per transacting active, reaching $1,046 in the third quarter. This was relatively stable on a quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year basis, and up 17% on a three-year CAGR basis, remaining healthy even as we moved past periods of economic stimulus and tax seasons.

Commerce

We are investing in Commerce to drive growth for our consumer and seller ecosystems. Afterpay is a connector between our Square and Cash App ecosystems, and we have made meaningful progress on our integration efforts. We recently rolled out our first iteration of Discover, a tab that allows consumers to search for people and businesses and find BNPL offers from marquee Afterpay merchants. In the third quarter, we launched Cash App Pay with merchants outside the Square ecosystem, so customers can now browse Discover to find discount offers at merchants who accept Cash App Pay. We are early in our evolution of Cash App as a shopping destination that connects consumers with merchants — this iteration is a small step in a multiyear journey.

  BLOCK  Q3 2022  5

Square Ecosystem

We continue to focus on our three strategic priorities to drive Square’s business: omnichannel, growing upmarket, and expanding globally.

Enhancing our ecosystem of products

Our focus is on building a cohesive experience for sellers and their customers as a core part of our omnichannel strategy: Our solution offers sellers a robust set of integrated tools, focusing on four distinct capabilities that are critical to the businesses we serve: commerce, customers, staff, and banking.

Our software solutions, purpose-built for specific verticals, have experienced strong growth: In the third quarter, gross profit from our vertical point-of-sale solutions, including Square for Restaurants, Square for Retail, and Square Appointments, cumulatively grew over 45% year over year, outpacing Square’s overall gross profit growth. We built these solutions to address our three largest target verticals of food and drink, retail, and services. Our freemium model delivers a graduated offering for sellers to begin the experience at a free tier and then upgrade to a higher-tier subscription offering as needed over time. This more accessible offering to sellers has improved our top of funnel and provided a strong path to monetization.

In September, we launched Tap to Pay on iPhone, Apple’s contactless payment acceptance capability, for our Square sellers in the U.S. We believe this allows our sellers more flexibility in getting started with Square without needing hardware to accept payments and offers our sellers’ customers a more convenient and contactless way to pay.

Growing upmarket

We continued to experience strong momentum upmarket with gross profit from mid-market sellers up 22% year over year and 39% on a three-year CAGR basis. Our developer platform plays a significant role in allowing us to scale our ecosystem by reaching new and often larger sellers who want to connect to Square. By strategically leveraging these tools, sellers can more deeply enrich our platform and grow their businesses with customized omnichannel solutions that meet their bespoke needs.

We determine seller size based on annualized GPV during the applicable quarter. A mid-market seller generates more than $500,000 in annualized GPV. GPV does not include transactions from the BNPL platform because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue.

1. PayPay internal data, September 2022; Z Holdings Corporation, August 2022.

Schomp Automotive, a family-owned and -operated car dealership headquartered in Colorado with more than $50 million in annualized GPV, has utilized Square’s developer platform to scale their business across 12 locations. As their operations became more complex, they built an integration with Terminal API to accept Square payments and streamline processes with automatic reconciliation. With their previous provider, enabling payment processing at a new Schomp location would take up to six weeks; with Square, the process takes about two hours on average. By supporting customized commerce experiences for in-person, online, and mobile payments, we believe our developer platform can help strategically expand the sizes and types of businesses we serve — particularly upmarket sellers as they adopt increasingly diverse businesses and verticals. During the third quarter, nearly 50% of GPV from mid-market sellers was generated by sellers connected to our open developer platform.

Expanding globally

We remain focused on strengthening our international presence by expanding product capabilities and improving product parity in both new and existing markets. In Japan, QR code payments are growing rapidly. PayPay is the dominant QR code wallet in Japan, with over 51 million customers and more than two-thirds of the country’s QR code GPV.¹ To meet this demand, during the third quarter we began allowing sellers to accept PayPay QR code payments in person via Square POS, Square for Retail, and Square Appointments. As we continue to improve product parity in our existing international markets, global expansion for Square Banking has been a top priority: Most recently, we introduced Instant Transfers in Australia and Square Loans in the UK. Additionally, we have expanded the payment methods we support by launching our BNPL offering in Canada and the UK, helping Square sellers attract new shoppers and drive incremental revenue.

Square gross profit in markets outside the U.S. includes contributions from the BNPL platform during the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the BNPL platform, Square gross profit in markets outside the U.S. was $75 million, representing 11% of Square gross profit.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics used in this letter to their nearest GAAP equivalents are provided at the end of this letter.

The BNPL platform was acquired through the acquisition of Afterpay. We recognize revenue from the BNPL platform as subscription and services-based revenue, and have allocated 50% of revenue and gross profit from the BNPL platform to each of Square and Cash App. Revenue from the BNPL platform includes fees generated from consumer receivables, late fees, and certain affiliate and advertising fees from the platform.

Gross profit was $1.57 billion, up 38% year over year and up 46% on a three-year CAGR basis. Gross profit included $19 million in amortization of acquired technology assets, the majority of which was due to the acquisition of the BNPL platform.

In the third quarter of 2022, our BNPL platform contributed $210 million of revenue and $150 million of gross profit. Excluding bitcoin and our BNPL platform, net revenue was $2.54 billion, up 25% year over year and up 32% on a three-year CAGR basis. Excluding our BNPL platform, gross profit was $1.42 billion, up 25% on a year-over-year basis and 42% on a three-year CAGR basis.

Transaction-based revenue was $1.52 billion in the third quarter of 2022, up 17% year over year, and transaction-based gross profit was $616 million, up 13% year over year. We processed $54.4 billion in GPV in the third quarter of 2022, up 20% year over year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.13% in the third quarter of 2022, down 7 basis points year over year and down 1 basis point quarter over quarter.

Subscription and services-based revenue was $1.19 billion in the third quarter of 2022, up 71% year over year, and subscription and services-based gross profit was $966 million, up 70% year over year.

Note: Square GPV and Cash App Business GPV are represented as a percent of total GPV. Cash App Business GPV consists of peer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts, Cash App Pay transactions, and peer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card. GPV does not include transactions from the BNPL platform because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue.

CASH APP ECOSYSTEM REVENUE

AND GROSS PROFIT

In the third quarter of 2022, Cash App generated $2.68 billion of revenue and $774 million of gross profit. On a year-over-year basis, Cash App revenue and gross profit grew 12% and 51%, respectively, and on a three-year CAGR basis, Cash App revenue and gross profit grew 106% and 84%, respectively.

We drove growth in net new transacting actives and strong engagement across products in our Cash App ecosystem. Inflows per transacting active were $1,046 in the third quarter of 2022, relatively stable quarter over quarter and year over year and up 17% on a three-year CAGR basis. Overall inflows increased quarter over quarter and year over year.

Cash App Business GPV was $4.3 billion, up 16% year over year and 85% on a three-year CAGR basis.

Cash App generated $118 million of transaction-based revenue during the third quarter of 2022, up 15% year over year and 83% on a three-year CAGR basis. Growth was driven by an increase in the number of business accounts and in the number of transactions.

  BLOCK  Q3 2022  9

Bitcoin revenue is the total sale amount of bitcoin to customers. Bitcoin costs are the total amount we pay to purchase bitcoin in order to facilitate customers’ access to bitcoin. In future quarters, bitcoin revenue and gross profit may fluctuate as a result of changes in customer demand or the market price of bitcoin.

Cash App generated $804 million of subscription and services-based revenue during the third quarter of 2022, up 69% year over year and 79% on a three-year CAGR basis. Growth in the quarter was driven by contributions from our BNPL platform, as well as transaction fees from both Cash App Card and Instant Deposit. Excluding our BNPL platform, subscription and services-based revenue was $698 million, up 47% year over year and 71% on a three-year CAGR basis.

Cash App generated $37 million of bitcoin gross profit in the third quarter of 2022, down 12% year over year and up 159% on a three-year CAGR basis. The total sale amount of bitcoin to customers, which we recognize as bitcoin revenue, was $1.76 billion, down 3% year over year and up 128% on a three-year CAGR basis. Bitcoin revenue and gross profit were relatively consistent compared to the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease in bitcoin revenue and gross profit was driven primarily by declines in consumer demand and the price of bitcoin.

SQUARE ECOSYSTEM REVENUE

AND GROSS PROFIT

In the third quarter of 2022, Square generated $1.77 billion of revenue and $783 million of gross profit. On a year-over-year basis, Square revenue and gross profit grew 27% and 29%, respectively, and on a three-year CAGR basis, Square revenue and gross profit grew 25% and 29%, respectively.

Our BNPL platform contributed $105 million of revenue and $75 million of gross profit to Square in the third quarter of 2022. Excluding our BNPL platform, Square generated $1.67 billion of revenue and $708 million of gross profit, up 20% and 17% on a year-over-year basis, respectively. On a three-year CAGR basis, Square revenue and gross profit excluding our BNPL platform grew 22% and 25%, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2022, Square generated $1.40 billion of transaction-based revenue, up 17% year over year and 21% on a three-year CAGR basis, with growth from both in-person and online channels. During the quarter, Square saw a lower percentage of debit card transactions on a year-over-year basis, as the proportion of debit transactions reached levels comparable to pre-pandemic.

In the third quarter of 2022, Square GPV was up 20% year over year and 22% on a three-year CAGR basis. On a constant currency basis, Square GPV was up 22% year over year and 22% on a three-year CAGR basis. We observed the following trends in Square GPV during the third quarter of 2022.

• Products: Card-present GPV was up 23% year over year and 22% on a three-year CAGR basis. Card-not-present GPV was up 14% year over year and 22% on a three-year CAGR basis.

• Geographies: In the third quarter, Square GPV in our U.S. market grew 17% year over year, and growth in our international markets was 40% year over year. On a constant currency basis, Square GPV in our international markets was up 55% year over year.

Square generated $332 million of subscription and services-based revenue during the third quarter of 2022, up 104% year over year and 49% on a three-year CAGR basis. Excluding our BNPL platform, subscription and services-based revenue was $227 million, up 40% year over year and 32% on a three-year CAGR basis.

• Banking: Revenue and gross profit from seller banking products achieved strong growth on a year-over-year and three-year CAGR basis. This includes Instant Transfer, Square Card, and Square Loans, which represent most of our financial services products for sellers.

• Square Loans: Square Loans achieved strong revenue and gross profit growth during the third quarter of 2022, facilitating approximately 126,000 loans totaling $1.14 billion in originations, up 92% year over year. Square Loans benefited from $5 million of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness revenue and gross profit during the third quarter. PPP loan forgiveness revenue is primarily a near-term benefit as revenue is recognized in the period PPP loans are forgiven, and we do not expect a material benefit from PPP loan forgiveness in future quarters.

• Software: Revenue and gross profit from software subscriptions delivered strong growth during the quarter, and gross profit growth continued to outpace overall Square gross profit growth.

Hardware revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $43 million, up 16% year over year and 26% on a three-year CAGR basis, and generated a gross loss of $33 million as we use hardware as an acquisition tool. Revenue growth was driven primarily by strong unit sales of Square Terminal and Square Reader for contactless and chip.

We discuss Cash App marketing expenses because a large portion is generated by our peer-to-peer service, which we offer free to our Cash App customers, and we consider it to be a marketing tool to encourage the use of Cash App.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were $1.62 billion in the third quarter of 2022, up 46% year over year, and included $37 million of amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets, primarily related to the acquisition of Afterpay. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $1.26 billion, up 39% year over year.

Product development expenses were $548 million on a GAAP basis and $331 million on a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2022, up 52% and 54% year over year, respectively. The increase was driven primarily by headcount and personnel costs related to our engineering, data science, and design teams, as well as product development expenses related to our BNPL platform.

Sales and marketing expenses were $486 million on a GAAP basis and $456 million on a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2022, up 19% and 16% year over year, respectively.

• Cash App marketing expenses were up 5% year over year, driven primarily by peer-to-peer transactions and related transaction losses, and card issuance costs.

• Other sales and marketing expenses were up 38% year over year. The increase was driven primarily by sales and marketing expenses related to our BNPL platform. Other sales and marketing expenses also include expenses related to TIDAL.

General and administrative expenses were $395 million on a GAAP basis and $312 million on a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2022, up 48% and 35% year over year, respectively. The increase was due primarily to additions to customer support, human resources, finance, and legal personnel, as well as expenses related to our BNPL platform.

The accounting rules for bitcoin currently require us to recognize any decreases in market price below carrying value as an impairment charge, with no upward revisions recognized when the market price increases until the sale of that bitcoin. The bitcoin impairment loss is a GAAP expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude bitcoin impairment losses. In order to determine fair value, Block revalues its bitcoin holdings on a daily basis using the closing price at midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Transaction, loan, and consumer receivables losses were $148 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 137% year over year. The increase was driven primarily from consumer receivables losses related to our BNPL platform, as well as growth in Square Loans volumes and Square GPV. In the third quarter, loss rates for Square GPV, Square Loans, and BNPL consumer receivables remained consistent with historical ranges, and we will continue to monitor trends closely given the dynamic macro environment.

In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $2 million on our bitcoin investment. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $156 million based on observable market prices, which was $45 million greater than the carrying value of the investment after impairment charges.

In the third quarter of 2022, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $15 million, which was affected by $56 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and a $2 million bitcoin impairment loss, which were not a part of our core operating performance; excluding these items, net income was $43 million. Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.02 on a basic and diluted basis in the third quarter of 2022, based on 593 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA was $327 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $233 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior-year period was driven by gross profit growth across our Cash App and Square ecosystems.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share (Adjusted EPS) was $0.42 on a diluted basis based on 623 million weighted-average diluted shares for the third quarter of 2022, representing a $0.18 increase year over year.

The following items affected net income (loss) during the respective periods. In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized $56 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and a $2 million bitcoin impairment loss. In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized $57 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, a $36 million bitcoin impairment loss, and $17 million in deal and integration-related expenses. In the first quarter of 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain of $50 million driven by the revaluation of equity investments, as well as Afterpay-related charges of $42 million of deal and integration-related expenses, $31 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, and $66 million of one-time accelerated stock-based compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss of $6 million driven by the adjustment to the revaluation of equity investments. In the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss of $7 million driven by the adjustment to the revaluation of equity investments as well as a $6 million bitcoin impairment loss.

BALANCE SHEET/CASH FLOW

We ended the third quarter of 2022 with $7.1 billion in available liquidity, with $6.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable debt securities, as well as $600 million available to be withdrawn from our revolving credit facility. Additionally, we had $1.2 billion available to be withdrawn under our warehouse funding facilities, to support funding of growth in our consumer receivables related to our BNPL platform.

In the third quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA contributed positively to our cash balance. Our cash balance was affected by cash outflows due to repayments of PPP Liquidity Facility advances.

Note: The table above presents preliminary gross profit growth estimates for the month of October 2022. These represent our current estimates as we have not yet finalized our financial statements for the month of October, and our monthly results are not subject to interim review by our auditors. As a result, actual October results may differ from these preliminary estimates.

OPERATING EXPENSES	Q4 2022	QoQ   increase ($)
Block Non-GAAP Operating Expenses	$1,465M	$206M
Block Non-GAAP Operating Expenses (excluding BNPL)	$1,250M	$162M

On a GAAP basis, we currently expect to recognize approximately $57 million in quarterly expenses related to amortization of intangible assets through the remainder of 2022 and over the next few years, based on the intangible assets as of September 30, 2022. This quarterly expense includes approximately $19 million recognized in cost of sales and approximately $38 million in operating expenses. These amounts may be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in future periods.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we expect our share-based compensation expense to increase quarter over quarter on a dollar basis. Share-based compensation expenses are not included in non-GAAP operating expenses.

We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP operating expenses or a GAAP reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations of other historical GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this letter.

“We love Square’s fully-integrated ecosystem — it has definitely helped us to spend more time doing the things we’d rather be doing. When we opened the salon, and we were looking for a booking solution, Square Appointments just made perfect sense. Then, we added Square Marketing … and Square Loyalty. Payroll was another huge one; as our employee count grew, we didn't really want to handle the manual and complex process of paying 85 people every week within our accounting software. These are major milestones for us; Square offers powerful solutions that really helped us grow our business.” –Rudy Temiz and Greg Ferreira, co-founders of Live By The Sword

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), from period to period, we consider and present certain operating and financial measures that we consider key metrics or are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume (GPV), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS), constant currency, and non-GAAP operating expenses as well as other measures defined in this letter such as measures excluding bitcoin revenue or gross profit, bitcoin impairment loss, measures excluding gains or losses on equity investments, measures excluding amortization of intangibles, measures excluding our BNPL platform, and measures excluding both our BNPL platform and bitcoin revenue or gross profit. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of other payments solution providers.

We define GPV as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds, and ACH transfers. Additionally, GPV includes Cash App Business GPV, which comprises Cash App activity related to peer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts, Cash App Pay transactions, and peer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of share-based compensation expenses; amortization of intangible assets; gain or loss on revaluation of equity investments; bitcoin impairment loss; and the gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment, as applicable. We also exclude certain transaction and integration costs associated with business combinations, and various other costs that are not part of our core operating performance. Transaction costs include amounts paid to redeem acquirees’ unvested stock-based compensation awards, and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs. Integration costs include advisory and other professional services or consulting fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses. Other costs that are non-recurring operating expenses may include contingent losses, litigation, and regulatory charges. We also add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue and deferred cost adjustment, which was written down to fair value in purchase accounting. Additionally, for purposes of calculating diluted Adjusted EPS, we add back cash interest expense on convertible senior notes, as if converted at the beginning of the period, if the impact is dilutive. In addition to the items above, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that also excludes depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense, other income and expense, and provision or benefit from income taxes, as applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross profit. To calculate the diluted Adjusted EPS, we adjust the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. In periods when we recorded an Adjusted Net Loss, the diluted Adjusted EPS is the same as basic Adjusted EPS because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Adjusted Net Loss position.

Constant currency growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by assuming international results in a given period and the comparative prior period are translated from local currencies to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with an average of daily rates in the comparative prior period. We discuss growth on a constant currency basis because a portion of our business operates in markets outside the U.S. and is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents operating expenses adjusted to remove the impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, bitcoin impairment loss, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and acquisition-related integration and other costs.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. We have included measures excluding the BNPL platform because we believe these measures are useful in understanding the ongoing results of our operations. We have included measures excluding bitcoin revenue because our role is to facilitate customers’ access to bitcoin. When customers buy bitcoin through Cash App, we only apply a small margin to the market cost of bitcoin, which tends to be volatile and outside our control. Therefore, we believe deducting bitcoin revenue or gross profit better reflects the economic benefits as well as our performance from these transactions. We also include measures that exclude both the BNPL platform and bitcoin revenue or gross profit in order to further facilitate comparison of our business without bitcoin revenue or gross profit to periods prior to the acquisition of BNPL. We have included measures excluding gains or losses on equity investments as well as bitcoin impairment losses because we believe these measures are useful in understanding our operating results without regard to gains and losses due to non-operating market fluctuations of our investments.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses, as well as other measures defined in the shareholder letter, such as measures excluding our BNPL platform, bitcoin revenue, bitcoin impairment loss, and measures excluding gains or losses on equity investments, have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that the aforementioned metrics and measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain variable amounts, or they remove amounts that were not repeated across periods and therefore make comparisons more difficult. Our management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
