1. Nature of Business

Shopify Inc. (“Shopify” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Canadian corporation on September 28, 2004. Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. Shopify makes commerce better for everyone with a platform and services that are engineered for reliability, while delivering a better shopping experience for consumers everywhere. Merchants use the Company's software to run their business across all of their sales channels, including web and mobile storefronts, physical retail locations, social media storefronts, and marketplaces. The Shopify platform provides merchants with a single view of their business and customers across all of their sales channels and enables them to manage products and inventory, process orders and payments, fulfill and ship orders, build customer relationships, source products, leverage analytics and reporting, and access financing, all from one integrated back office.

The Company’s headquarters and principal place of business are in Ottawa, Canada.

2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its directly and indirectly held wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in United States dollars ("USD") and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the adoption of Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which is discussed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates on loans, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and other instruments. In May 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which provides transition relief that is optional for,

Expressed in US $000's except share and per share amounts

and available to, all reporting entities within the scope of Topic 326. The updates are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company changed its approach to estimating its expected credit losses, which did not have a material impact on any of its existing allowances at that time.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions in these condensed consolidated financial statements include: key judgments related to revenue recognition in determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent to the arrangements with merchants, and the estimated period over which contract costs should be amortized; estimates of future events and the impact on our provisions for expected credit losses related to our financial assets measured at amortized cost, including our contract balances and merchant cash advances and loans; recoverability of deferred tax assets; estimated annual effective tax rate; income projections and discount rates used to fair value acquired intangible assets; and the discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments. Actual results may differ from the estimates made by management.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, merchant cash advances, loans and related receivables, and foreign exchange derivative products subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Management mitigates this risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by making deposits and entering into foreign exchange derivative products only with large banks and financial institutions that are considered to be highly credit worthy. Management mitigates the risks associated with marketable securities by adhering to its investment policy, which stipulates minimum rating requirements, maximum investment exposures and maximum maturities. Due to the Company’s diversified merchant base, there is no particular concentration of credit risk related to the Company’s trade and other receivables and merchant cash advances and loans receivable. Trade and other receivables and merchant cash advances and loans receivable are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure timely collection of amounts. The Company has mitigated some of the risks associated with Shopify Capital by entering into an agreement with a third party that insures a portion of the merchant cash advances and loans offered by Shopify Capital. The receivable related to insurance recoveries is included in the merchant cash advances, loans and related receivables balance. There are no receivables from individual merchants accounting for 10% or more of revenues or receivables. Potential effects from the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic on the Company's credit risk have been considered and have resulted in increases to its allowances for expected credit losses on contract balances and merchant cash advances and loans, as discussed in notes 5 and 6, respectively. The Company continues its assessment given the fluidity of COVID-19's global impact.

Provision for Credit Losses Related to Merchant Cash Advances and Loans

Merchant cash advance receivables and loans represent the aggregate amount of Shopify Capital related receivables owed by merchants as of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates the provision based on an assessment of various factors, including historical trends, merchants' gross merchandise volume, supportable forecasted information and other factors, including the potential impact of COVID-19, that may affect the merchants' ability to make future payments on the receivables. Additions to the provision are reflected in current operating results, while charges against the provision are made when losses are incurred. These additions are classified within transaction and loan losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Recoveries are reflected as a reduction in the allowance for credit losses related to merchant cash advances and loans when the recovery occurs.

Provision for Transaction Losses Related to Shopify Payments

Payments losses arise when refunded merchant transactions cannot be recovered. The Company estimates the provision based on an assessment of various factors, including historical trends, gross merchandise volume facilitated using Shopify Payments, supportable forecasted information and other factors, including the potential impact of COVID-19, that may increase the volume of refunded transactions. Additions to the provision are reflected in current operating results, while charges against the provision are made when losses are incurred. These additions are classified within transaction and loan losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Interest Rate Risk

Certain of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities earn interest. The Company’s trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities do not bear interest. The Company is not exposed to material interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations between the Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and the USD. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations on the revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Company uses foreign exchange derivative products to manage the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. By their nature, derivative financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of non-performance by counter parties.

While the majority of the Company's revenues and cost of revenues are denominated in USD, a significant portion of operating expenses are incurred in CAD. As a result, earnings are adversely affected by an increase in the value of the CAD relative to the USD.

The following table summarizes the effects on revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses, and loss from operations of a 10% strengthening⁽¹⁾ of the CAD versus the USD without considering the impact of the Company's hedging activities and without factoring in any potential changes in demand for the Company's solutions as a result of changes in the CAD to USD exchange rates.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company held equity investments in private companies carried at cost of $12,500 (December 31, 2019 - $2,500), with no observable price changes or indicators of impairment.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company held foreign exchange forward contracts to convert USD into CAD, with a total notional value of $362,356 (December 31, 2019 - $285,700), to fund a portion of its operations. The foreign exchange forward contracts have maturities of twelve months or less. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and corporate bonds was based upon Level 2 inputs, which included period-end mid-market quotations for each underlying contract as calculated by the financial institution with which the Company has transacted. The quotations are based on bid/ask quotations and represent the discounted future settlement amounts based on current market rates.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging

The Company has a hedging program to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on future cash flows and earnings. Under this program the Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with certain financial institutions and designated those hedges as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2020, $560 of unrealized gains and $17,361 of unrealized losses related to changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and current assets and current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These amounts are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, $1,295 of realized losses (March 31, 2019 - $3,278 of realized losses) related to the maturity of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were included in cost of revenues and operating expenses. Under the current hedging program, the Company is hedging cash flows associated with payroll and facility costs.

5.    Contract Balances

When revenue is recognized, the Company records a receivable that is included in trade and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Trade receivables and unbilled revenues, net of allowance for credit losses, were as follows:

	March 31, 2020 $	December 31, 2019 $	January 1, 2019 $
Indirect taxes receivable	35,032	36,821	3,774
Unbilled revenues	28,414	31,629	12,653
Trade receivables	13,092	9,660	11,191
Accrued interest	6,213	5,754	5,109
Other receivables	5,388	6,665	8,620
	88,139	90,529	41,347

The allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our unbilled revenues and trade receivables accounts. The Company determined the provision based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, supportable forecasts of collectibility, potential impacts of COVID-19 and other currently available evidence.

Stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2020	2,434,311		32.01	5.16	937,011

(1) As at March 31, 20201,371,648 of the outstanding stock options were granted under the Company's Legacy Option Plan and are exercisable for Class B multiple voting shares, 2,165,181 of the outstanding stock options were granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan and are exercisable for Class A subordinate voting shares, and 78,459 of the outstanding stock options were granted under the 6 River Systems 2016 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Grant Plan and are exercisable for Class A subordinate voting shares.

(2) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock option awards and the closing market price of the Company's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

As at March 31, 2020 the Company had issued 713 Deferred Share Units under its Long Term Incentive Plan.

In connection with the acquisition of 6RS, 122,080 Class A subordinate voting shares were issued with trading restrictions. The restrictions on these shares are lifted over time and are being accounted for as stock-based compensation as the vesting is contingent on continued employment and therefore related to post-combination services. As at March 31, 2020, 122,080 of the Class A subordinate voting shares remained restricted.

The following table illustrates the classification of stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, which includes both stock-based compensation and restricted share-based compensation expense.  

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019

Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax	(16,633	)	9,274
Balance, end of the period	(15,587	)	(2,942	)

13.     Income Taxes

The Company's provision for or recovery of income taxes is determined by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss from recurring operations and adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period. The Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and makes cumulative adjustments if its estimated annual tax rate changes.

The Company’s effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuation during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of forecasted pre-tax earnings in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition and derecognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company formally established its EMEA headquarters in Ireland and its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore. As a result of these actions, the Company transferred regional relationship and territory rights from its Canadian entity to enable each regional headquarters to develop and maintain merchant and commercial operations within its respective region, while keeping the ownership of all of the Company's current developed technology within Canada. These transfers reflect the growing proportion of the Company's business occurring internationally and resulted in a one-time capital gain in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately 9%. As a result of the application of the Company's effective tax rate on the results of ongoing operations, other discrete items, primarily related to tax benefits for share-based compensation, the Company's ability to carry-back losses to prior years in Canada, and the recognition of deferred tax assets in the United States, the Company has a recovery of income taxes of $28,695 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

14.    Net Loss per Share

The Company applies the two-class method to calculate its basic and diluted net loss per share as both classes of its voting shares are participating securities with equal participation rights and are entitled to receive dividends on a share for share basis.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding and the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	116,806,549	110,921,276
The following items have been excluded from the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding because they are anti-dilutive:
Stock options	3,615,288	5,054,120
Restricted share units	1,798,871	2,580,154
Deferred share units	713	478
	5,414,872	7,634,752

In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was in a loss position and therefore diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.
