ON THE COVER Boedecker Cellars is an urban winery in Portland, Oregon, that uses Square’s ecosystem — including Square Online, Square Point of Sale, Square Marketing, Square Team Management and Payroll, and multiple Square hardware devices — to power operations across multiple revenue streams, such as its wine club and tasting room experiences.
	To Our Shareholders

February 23, 2023 In the fourth quarter, gross profit was affected by $18 million of amortization of acquired technology assets, the majority of which was from the acquisition of our BNPL platform. We facilitated access to Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for our sellers during the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize revenue and gross profit over the life of the loan. If a loan is forgiven, we recognize the remaining revenue and gross profit in the period the loan is forgiven.	Over the last year, our ecosystem model helped drive resilience as we continued to serve a diverse base of global customers across a wide range of verticals, complementary products, and use cases. Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond, we are focused on balancing growth and efficiency and will prioritize speed, agility, and accountability. This framework will ensure we remain customer-led while building a disciplined and durable business for the long term. We delivered strong growth and profitability at scale during the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross profit grew 40% year over year to $1.66 billion. Excluding our BNPL platform, gross profit was $1.46 billion, up 24% year over year. Our Square ecosystem delivered gross profit of $801 million, an increase of 22% year over year and, excluding our BNPL platform, 7% year over year. Excluding gross profit from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness and our BNPL platform, Square gross profit increased 17% year over year. Our Cash App ecosystem delivered gross profit of $848 million, an increase of 64% year over year and, excluding our BNPL platform, an increase of 45% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $281 million.

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

We remain focused on investing in omnichannel commerce to help sellers never miss a sale and operate more efficiently — especially during an uncertain macroeconomic environment. We believe our key differentiators are the depth and breadth of our products and software, along with the range of verticals we serve. In 2022, 44% of Square gross profit came from sellers that used four or more monetized products, an improvement of more than 15 points from three years ago. We have seen greater retention from larger sellers and those that adopt more products: In 2022, mid-market sellers who adopted four or more products had 15x greater retention than those who only adopted one.

Growing Upmarket

During the fourth quarter, mid-market sellers continued to be our fastest-growing segment, with gross profit up 16% year over year in the fourth quarter, outpacing total Square gross profit growth, excluding our BNPL platform. While we want to serve all types of sellers — including both sole proprietors who need us seasonally and enterprises who need us around the clock — we see the greatest opportunity with sellers with annualized GPV ranging from $500,000 to $10 million, which represents an addressable market of approximately $4.0 trillion in U.S. gross receipts and makes up more than half of our estimated $125 billion total addressable market on a gross profit basis.

We believe sellers who adopt more of our products can drive meaningful growth for Square and allow us to deepen our relationship with them. For example, The Market at Grelen, a Virginia-based garden shop and cafe with more than $2.5 million in annualized GPV, joined Square 10 years ago when their business was just getting started. Over the years, The Market at Grelen has grown to encompass a 1,000-acre multi-purpose property, a second location, and an online store. As they expanded, The Market at Grelen adopted more Square products to address their changing needs, including Square for Retail to manage inventory from more than 100 vendors and Square Online to support their eCommerce operations. These integrated solutions help The Market at Grelen more seamlessly operate their complex business both in person and online, which we believe is a key reason why they have been able to grow with Square for more than a decade.

Chart depicts 2022 year-over-year seller count churn by seller size. Churn is defined as sellers who used at least one product in 2021 but did not use a product in 2022.

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 our BNPL platform because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue.

  BLOCK  Q4 2022  5

Expanding Globally

We are applying a product-centric approach to global expansion of our Square ecosystem. Our goal is to reach product parity across each of our markets, which will enable sellers to take full advantage of the breadth of our ecosystem. In Australia, we introduced Square for Retail and Square Appointments on Square Terminal, and in Ireland, we launched Square Appointments to provide a solution that integrates booking software with an all-in-one point of sale built for the Beauty and Personal Care sector.

We have heard from sellers that cash flow management is a top priority, which is why we provide integrated tools that connect directly with sellers’ payments. Since launching more of our banking products internationally, we have experienced steady demand with Square Loans: Through year-end 2022, we originated nearly $400 million in Square Loans throughout our global markets and achieved loss rates on these loans in line with Square Loans in the U.S.

Square gross profit in markets outside the U.S. includes contributions from our BNPL platform during the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding our BNPL platform, Square gross profit in markets outside the U.S. was $83 million, representing 12% of Square 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 a 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, Commerce, Crypto, Financial Services, Global, Operating System, and Trust. In the fourth quarter we made notable progress on Community, Financial Services, and Commerce, which meaningfully contributed to gross profit growth.

Community

We believe our ability to efficiently scale our network is one of our biggest differentiators: During December 2022, Cash App had 51 million monthly transacting actives, an increase of 16% year over year. Our acquisition cost remained stable in 2022 at $10 or less on average to acquire a new transacting active with strong returns on acquisition spend.

Creating unique experiences within peer-to-peer transactions allows us to engage our community in new and interesting ways. In the fourth quarter, we launched peer-to-peer gift cards, allowing customers to send a gift card from a wide range of merchants to their friends and family, who can then receive and spend it through their Cash App Card.

Financial services

Cash App Card delivered strong growth over the past year, generating more than $750 million in gross profit during 2022, up 56% year over year from transactions on the card alone. This growth was driven by continued momentum from Cash App Card monthly actives and spend per active. Cash App Card is a key driver of increased inflows as Cash App Card actives brought 2x the amount of inflows into Cash App compared to peer-to-peer actives in the fourth quarter. Increased product adoption has positively impacted inflows per transacting active, which were $1,048 in the fourth quarter, up slightly year over year despite the benefit from government disbursements in the prior-year period.

  BLOCK  Q4 2022  7

We are focused on continuing to build customer trust through the breadth of our banking offerings. Based on direct feedback from our customers, in January we rolled out Savings, which allows customers to hold a separate savings balance and easily set and track towards financial goals. Customers can add money to savings using their Cash App balance, a linked debit card, or through Round Ups on purchases with Cash App Card. This provides our customers with a meaningful tool to manage their money, and also furthers Cash App’s ability to be our customers’ primary bank of choice.

Commerce

As we continue our investment in Commerce, we are seeing new and meaningful opportunities in our BNPL platform that can further connect our Square and Cash App ecosystems. In the past year, we have channeled an opportunity to connect consumers with merchants by creating an ad and affiliate offering. With the offering available to both in- and out-of-network merchants, we are paid a commission when a consumer begins their shopping journey in the Afterpay app and makes a purchase. We also earn revenue through our BNPL platform from consumer clicks to a merchant site from the app as well as flat fees for premium ad placements.

Since launch, we have seen meaningful growth in the ad and affiliate offering of our BNPL platform. In 2022, the ads and affiliate program generated nearly $100 million in revenue across nearly 2,000 advertisers. As we build out Cash App’s commerce platform, we intend to integrate this demand generation engine from the Afterpay app, and pair ad and affiliate offerings with Cash App’s powerful Boost rewards and incentives capabilities.

In January 2023, we launched Savings, which allows our customers to budget better by saving in a separate balance within Cash App.

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

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

GPV includes Square GPV and Cash App Business GPV. Square GPV is defined as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds, and ACH transfers. Cash App Business GPV 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. GPV does not include transactions from our BNPL platform because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue.

SQUARE ECOSYSTEM REVENUE

AND GROSS PROFIT

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Square generated $1.76 billion of revenue and $801 million of gross profit, up 19% and 22% year over year, respectively. For the full year of 2022, Square generated $6.70 billion of revenue and $3.00 billion of gross profit, up 29% and 30% year over year, respectively.

Our BNPL platform contributed $132 million of revenue and $98 million of gross profit to Square in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding our BNPL platform, Square generated $1.62 billion of revenue and $703 million of gross profit, up 10% and 7% on a year-over-year basis, respectively. For the full year of 2022, our BNPL platform contributed $406 million of revenue and $294 million of gross profit to Square. Excluding our BNPL platform, Square generated $6.29 billion of revenue and $2.71 billion of gross profit, up 21% and 17% on a year-over-year basis, respectively.

Excluding gross profit from PPP loan forgiveness and our BNPL platform, Square gross profit was up 17% and 19% year over year in the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2022, respectively.

We target positive gross profit retention to measure our ability to support our sellers and help them grow over time. In 2022, each of our existing annual Square cohorts achieved positive gross profit retention when compared to 2021. Square cohorts onboarded prior to 2021 have achieved or are pacing towards an estimated return on investment of 3x or greater over four years. Our 2021 and 2022 cohorts have achieved or are pacing towards an estimated payback of six quarters or less.

Square GPV is defined as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds, and ACH transfers. Square GPV does not include transactions from our BNPL platform because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue.

Square gross profit retention rate is calculated as the year-over-year gross profit growth of all existing quarterly seller cohorts, averaged over the last four quarters (excluding gross profit from our BNPL platform, hardware, Caviar, PPP loans, and Weebly prior to the acquisition). A Square cohort represents new sellers onboarded to Square during a given period.

For the full year of 2022, Square transaction-based revenue was $5.24 billion, up 19% year over year.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Square GPV was $48.61 billion, up 14% year over year and 16% year over year on a constant currency basis. For the full year of 2022, Square GPV was $186.47 billion, up 22% year over year and 24% on a constant currency basis. We observed the following trends in Square GPV during the fourth quarter of 2022:

• Products: Card-present GPV was up 17% year over year and card-not-present GPV was up 9% year over year.

• Geographies: Square GPV in our U.S. market grew 13% year over year, and growth in our international markets was 23% year over year. On a constant currency basis, Square GPV in our international markets was up 39% year over year.

• Verticals: Square GPV was up 16% year over year in October, compared to 13% in November and 14% in December. Growth in Square GPV was slower in November and the first half of December compared to during the December holiday season. The slowdown was most pronounced in discretionary verticals, including food and drink and retail.

Return on investment, or payback, measures the effectiveness of sales and marketing spend. Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by dividing the cumulative cohort gross profit of each cohort of sellers by GAAP sales and marketing expenses for the applicable time period, excluding the following: Cash App sales and marketing expenses, BNPL platform sales and marketing expenses, Corporate and Other sales and marketing expenses, Caviar sales and marketing expenses, and the portion of sales and marketing expenses from the legacy Weebly business.

CASH APP ECOSYSTEM REVENUE

AND GROSS PROFIT

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Cash App generated $2.86 billion of revenue and $848 million of gross profit, up 12% and 64% year over year, respectively. For the full year of 2022, Cash App generated $10.63 billion of revenue and $2.95 billion of gross profit, down 14% and up 43% year over year, respectively. The year-over-year decline in revenue was driven by a decrease in the total dollar amount of bitcoin sold to customers, which we recognize as bitcoin revenue, and bitcoin gross profit was 2% of bitcoin revenue in the quarter.

Our BNPL platform contributed $132 million of revenue and $98 million of gross profit to Cash App in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding bitcoin revenue and our BNPL platform, Cash App revenue was $892 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 51% year over year. Excluding our BNPL platform, Cash App gross profit was $750 million, up 45% year over year.

For the full year of 2022, our BNPL platform contributed $406 million of revenue and $294 million of gross profit to Cash App. Excluding bitcoin revenue and our BNPL platform, Cash App revenue was $3.11 billion for the full year of 2022, up 35% year over year. Excluding our BNPL platform, Cash App gross profit was $2.66 billion, up 28% year over year.

We drove growth in net new transacting actives and strong engagement across products in our Cash App ecosystem. Inflows per transacting active were $1,048 in the fourth quarter of 2022, up slightly year over year despite the benefit from government disbursements in the prior-year period. Overall inflows for the full year of 2022 were $203 billion, up from $179 billion in 2021.

Our Cash App ecosystem has achieved positive annual gross profit retention for our historical cohorts, demonstrating that existing customers have remained on the platform and increased their engagement with Cash App over time. We have seen strength in retention during recent years, with positive annual gross profit retention for all historical cohorts.

We continued to efficiently grow our customer base and generate strong returns on customer acquisition for Cash App. Our historical Cash App cohorts through 2020 have achieved a 6x ROI or greater over three years, and our 2021 and 2022 Cash App cohorts are at or pacing towards an estimated payback of less than one year. In 2022, we onboarded our largest annual cohort on a gross profit basis.

Cash App annual gross profit retention is calculated as the year-over-year gross profit growth of all existing quarterly Cash App cohorts, averaged over the last four quarters, and excluding BNPL platform gross profit, contra revenue, and interest income. A transacting active’s cohort is determined based on the date they first became a transacting active on the platform. For example, retention for our Q1 2019 cohort is the average annual gross profit growth from transacting actives who completed a first transaction in Q1 2019. Each of our annual Cash App cohorts since 2015 and the pre-2015 cohort have exhibited positive overall gross profit retention on aggregate from the date of their first transaction through December 31, 2022.

Bitcoin revenue is the total sale amount of bitcoin sold 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.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Cash App Business GPV was $4.55 billion, up 20% year over year. Cash App Business GPV 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. Cash App generated $122 million of transaction-based revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022, up 18% year over year. Growth was driven by an increase in the number of business accounts and in the number of transactions. For the full year of 2022, Cash App Business GPV was $17.07 billion, up 14% year over year, and Cash App transaction-based revenue was $466 million, up 14% year over year.

Cash App generated $901 million of subscription and services-based revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022, up 85% year over year. 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 $769 million, up 58% year over year. For the full year of 2022, Cash App subscription and services-based revenue was $3.05 billion, up 61% year over year. Excluding our BNPL platform, subscription and services-based revenue was $2.64 billion, up 40% year over year.

Cash App generated $35 million of bitcoin gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022, down 25% year over year. The total sale amount of bitcoin sold to customers, which we recognize as bitcoin revenue, was $1.83 billion, down 7% year over year. Bitcoin revenue and gross profit were relatively consistent compared to the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease in bitcoin revenue and gross profit was driven by a decline in the price of bitcoin. For the full year of 2022, Cash App generated $7.11 billion of bitcoin revenue and $156 million of bitcoin gross profit, down 29% and 28% year over year, respectively.

CORPORATE AND OTHER REVENUE

AND GROSS PROFIT

Corporate and Other generated $38 million in revenue and $11 million in gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year of 2022, Corporate and Other generated $206 million in revenue and $40 million in gross profit. Corporate and Other comprised areas outside Square and Cash App, which were primarily TIDAL and intersegment eliminations in 2022.

Return on investment, or payback, is calculated by taking a given Cash App monthly cohort’s cumulative variable profit and dividing by acquisition marketing spend for the initial month when onboarded. Each line represents the average monthly cohort for years 2017 to 2022.

Cohort variable profit is calculated as gross profit across Cash App transaction-based profit, Cash App Card gross profit, Instant Deposit gross profit for Cash App, bitcoin gross profit, less certain variable sales and marketing expenses, including peer-to-peer processing and risk loss. Cohort variable profit is based on our estimates for certain risk loss measures.

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 $1.80 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 45% year over year, and non-GAAP operating expenses were $1.40 billion, up 39% year over year. For the full year of 2022, operating expenses were $6.62 billion, up 55% year over year, and non-GAAP operating expenses were $5.07 billion, up 48% year over year. In the fourth quarter and for the full year, operating expenses included $35 million and $139 million, respectively, of amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets, the majority of which was from the acquisition of our BNPL platform.

Product development expenses were $605 million on a GAAP basis and $382 million on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 54% and 60% 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 $540 million on a GAAP basis and $508 million on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 11% and 9% year over year, respectively.

• Cash App marketing expenses were down 9% year over year, driven by a decrease in advertising and non-traditional marketing expenses. Cash App peer-to-peer processing costs, related peer-to-peer transaction losses, and card issuance costs were up 15% year over year.

• Other sales and marketing expenses were up 48% 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 $452 million on a GAAP basis and $343 million on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 51% and 43% 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. Bitcoin impairment loss is a GAAP expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude bitcoin impairment losses. 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 $155 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 172% 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 fourth 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 fourth quarter of 2022, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $9 million on our bitcoin investment, and for the full year of 2022, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $47 million on our investment. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $133 million based on observable market prices, which was $30 million greater than the carrying value of the investment after cumulative impairment charges.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we have included the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments in determining the Adjusted EPS. We determined the adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes by calculating the estimated annual effective tax rate based on adjusted pre-tax income and applying it to Adjusted Net Income before income taxes.

EARNINGS

In the fourth quarter of 2022, operating loss was $135 million. For the full year of 2022, operating loss was $625 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $114 million. Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.19 on a basic and diluted basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, based on 599 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding during the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the full year of 2022, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $541 million. Net loss per share was $0.93 on a basic and diluted basis, based on 579 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding during the full year of 2022.

Adjusted Operating Loss was $32 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year of 2022, Adjusted Operating Loss was $145 million. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain expenses that we believe are not reflective of our core operating performance, including amortization of intangible assets, bitcoin impairment losses, acquisition-related accelerated share-based compensation expenses, and acquisition-related, integration, and other costs. We present Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) because we use it to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA was $281 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $184 million in the fourth 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. For the full year of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $991 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted Net Income Per Share (Adjusted EPS) was $0.22 on a diluted basis based on 623 million weighted-average diluted shares, representing a $0.06 decrease year over year. For the full year of 2022, Adjusted EPS was $1.00 based on 615 million weighted-average diluted shares, compared to $1.28 for the full year of 2021.

Please see the reconciliations at the end of this letter for a description of certain items that impacted net income (loss) and operating income (loss) in 2022.

BALANCE SHEET/CASH FLOW

We ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with $7.5 billion in available liquidity, with $6.9 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 $389 million 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 fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA contributed positively to our overall liquidity.

Trends and Forward-Looking Commentary

	Q4 2022 YoY Growth %	Jan + Feb 2023 YoY Growth %
BUSINESS TRENDS
Block Gross Profit	40%	33%
Block Combined Company Gross Profit*	21%	25%

Note: The table above presents preliminary gross profit growth estimates for the months of January and February 2023. These represent our current estimates as we have not yet finalized our financial statements for the months of January and February, and our monthly and combined company results are not subject to interim review by our auditors. As a result, actual January and February results may differ from these preliminary estimates

Given we acquired our BNPL platform on January 31, 2022 through the acquisition of Afterpay, we believe Block combined company gross profit is more representative of underlying growth trends in the first quarter. *Block combined company gross profit is calculated assuming a $51 million gross profit contribution from our BNPL platform in January 2022, as if our BNPL platform had been acquired on January 1, 2022. On a combined company basis, our BNPL platform contributed $143 million of gross profit in the first quarter of 2022 and $185 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

OPERATING EXPENSES	Q1 2023	QoQ   increase ($)
Block Non-GAAP Operating Expenses1	$1,430M	$30M

On a GAAP basis, we currently expect to recognize approximately $53 million in quarterly expenses related to amortization of intangible assets over the next few years, based on the intangible assets as of December 31, 2022. This quarterly expense includes approximately $18 million recognized in cost of sales and approximately $35 million in operating expenses. These amounts may be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in future periods.

In the first quarter of 2023, we expect our share-based compensation expense to be relatively consistent quarter over quarter on a dollar basis. Share-based compensation expenses are not included in non-GAAP operating expenses.

2023 OUTLOOK	2023
Adjusted EBITDA1		$1,300M
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)1		($150M)

Based on trends in our business year to date as of earnings, we expect Adjusted EBITDA margin to expand by at least one percentage point year over year and Adjusted Operating Income margin to also expand on a year-over-year basis in 2023 compared to 2022.

1. We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, including Block Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income margin, or GAAP reconciliations of any of the aforementioned, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, reconciliations of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents are 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.

Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Operating Income margin are both defined by dividing the respective metric taken over a period by gross profit over the same period.

INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK

Our investment framework can be articulated in a single sentence: Block and each ecosystem must show a believable path to gross profit retention of more than 100% and Rule of 40, measured as gross profit growth plus Adjusted Operating Income, over the long-term. Unlike Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income is a profitability measure which takes into account certain non-cash expenses, including share based compensation as well as depreciation and certain amortization expenses. As we transition to Adjusted Operating Income, we will continue to share Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of profitability.

We believe this framework will enhance our ecosystem model by allowing each ecosystem to make business decisions in parallel, and balance tradeoffs as we invest for growth with discipline. It also ensures we remain customer focused, and provides flexibility for products and businesses at varying stages of maturity.

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), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), 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 losses, measures excluding gains or losses on equity investments, measures excluding amortization of intangibles, measures excluding our BNPL platform, measures excluding both our BNPL platform and bitcoin revenue or gross profit, and measures excluding both of our BNPL platform and PPP loan forgiveness 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. GPV does not include BNPL transactions.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS), and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share (or, in the case of Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), represents our operating income (loss)), adjusted to eliminate the effect of share-based compensation expenses; amortization of intangible assets; gain or loss on revaluation of equity investments; bitcoin impairment losses; amortization of debt discount and issuance costs; and the gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment, as applicable. We also exclude certain acquisition-related and integration costs associated with business combinations, and various other costs that are not reflective of our core operating performance. Acquisition-related 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, certain 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 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 the monthly average 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 losses, 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 that do not vary with our operations. We have included measures excluding our 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 our 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 both our BNPL platform and PPP loan forgiveness gross profit because we believe these measures are useful in order to facilitate comparisons of our business without PPP loan forgiveness to periods prior to the acquisition of BNPL. We exclude amortization of intangible assets arising from business combinations because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our ongoing business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), 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 or gross profit, PPP loan forgiveness gross profit, bitcoin impairment losses, 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.

  BLOCK  Q4 2022  26

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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.
