Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 2, 2023, Block, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a Shareholder Letter (the “Letter”) announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. In the Letter, the Company also announced that it would be holding a conference call and earnings webcast on November 2, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Letter is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”).

The Company is making reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the Letter and the conference call. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents is provided in the Letter.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 on this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s Class A common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Class A common stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the stock price, business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities, and other factors. The goal of the program is to offset a portion of the dilution associated with stock-based compensation issued to employees as part of the Company’s overall compensation program.

November 2, 2023

To Our Shareholders:

We’ve been quiet lately because we’ve been focused.

When we went public almost 8 years ago, we stated this in our S-1:

“As a public company our decisions will continue to reflect what we’ve done as a private one—we put our customers first. That means constantly asking the question: how can the financial system better serve people? We’ll measure ourselves by our commitment to take the long view and focus on building a company that creates value over decades and not just a few fiscal quarters out.”

This commitment over the years resulted in building our Cash App ecosystem beyond the scale of our original Square ecosystem, creating an “ecosystem of ecosystems” model to provide greater growth potential and resiliency across different audience types and use cases, and most recently, an investment framework that takes into account the true cost of our business, including stock based compensation. We shared that investment framework earlier this year:

Block and each ecosystem must show a believable path to Gross Profit Retention of over 100% and Rule of 40 on Adjusted Operating Income.

We believe this framework balances creating long term value for customers with the same for our shareholders. We believe we will reach Rule of 40 in 2026, with an initial composition of at least mid-teens gross profit growth and a mid-20% Adjusted Operating Income margin. We will provide annual guidance on these targets until we reach and sustain them, at which point we will reevaluate our guidance principles.

As we progress towards Rule of 40 in the coming years, we expect our margin profile and free cash flow generation to improve as well, which means we can return more to our shareholders over time. Today, we’re instituting an initial authorization to repurchase $1 billion in shares, which will offset a portion of dilution from share based compensation. This also allows us to act opportunistically when we believe our company is undervalued.

As we continue to view the business through the lens of our investment framework, we continue to find opportunities for constraints we believe will lead to greater growth. We implemented one of these a year before our IPO: an absolute cap on the number of people we had at the company. It was very effective at driving performance, scoping our work through better prioritization, and looking critically at the number of products we offered against our strategy. We are going to do that again now, by creating an absolute cap on the number of people we have at the company, held firm at 12,000 people until we feel the growth of the business has meaningfully outpaced the growth of the company. We know the inverse is true today.

==> picture [398 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

BLOCK Q3 2023 2

My focus going forward is threefold: our Square business, our ecosystem of ecosystems model, and our costs.

I’ll start with the last, costs, noting that as we’ve built out our operating model for our four business units, we’ve created structural duplication and redundancy that would better serve us by being more centralized. We’ve spent a lot of time looking at actual needs of each business and for opportunities to recentralize resources, both on Amrita’s teams and within the business units. We’ve already begun this work.

Moving on to our ecosystem of ecosystems, our focus is to create a dynamic where we are serving different audiences and use cases to increase our total addressable market and to create overall resilience. We are now serving sellers with Square, individuals with Cash App, developers with TBD, and musicians with TIDAL. We believe we can benefit each audience through connected financial tools, and that each business will positively reinforce each other over time.

Over the past few months we’ve reset the relationship between Square and Cash App and restructured Afterpay to ensure a stronger connection between each, and most importantly, create an innovative customer experience. We finally have line of sight to seeing more of Square within Cash App, and vice versa. We believe combining the two ecosystems enables us to provide consumer experiences others can’t, specifically for commerce. You’ll be able to see this for yourself early next year.

Cash App sits at the intersection of three traditionally-distinct use cases: financial services, community based transactions (peer-to-peer payments) and commerce. Our approach for Cash App is to uniquely bring these three areas together to define a new product category and reinvent banking for our customers. With this opportunity in mind we have clarified a focused strategy on earning the primary banking relationship of our existing customer base in the US. We’ll do this through continued focus on reliability, customer service, and security, by enhancing our banking feature set, and revisiting our go-to-market efforts, inclusive of bundling Cash App’s financial services offering.

Since taking Square back over, I wanted to expand a bit on what I’ve found, and where we’re going. I believe there have been a number of things holding Square back, some structural, some cultural, all of which can be addressed through stronger and more opinionated prioritization and week-on-week fast iteration. We started by resetting our prioritization to focus on four things: a rock solid and flexible multi-vertical platform , providing a “ local ” experience to sellers of all sizes, growing with AI , and banking on Square.

We believe our seller platform will prove to be our superpower, with major unlocks arriving in 2024. Our platform serves both our internal teams creating first party products, and our developer and partner ecosystem creating third party solutions, especially for our upmarket sellers. By continuing to focus on increasing reliability and the strength of our development primitives, we will increase our overall agility and development speed. It also enables us to play off the breadth of our ecosystem tools, especially compared to companies who are only focused on single verticals.

==> picture [398 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

BLOCK Q3 2023 3

As we consider our go-to-market strategy, we’re going to focus on our verticals, with a far greater “local” approach. Upmarket sellers especially want to feel more local and authentic to their customers, and with better technology, they can. And that’s inclusive of how we bring them onto Square, through sales and account management. We’re going to better prioritize our vertical outreach to sellers that are inherently local, such as restaurants and services, both areas we believe we can build a huge amount of strength within. In doing so, we believe we can build significant network effects that benefit both individual customers and sellers of all sizes , from the micro to large.

While we have exceptional AI talent at the company, we haven’t been using it effectively. We’re putting a huge premium on this work, starting with increasing our engineering productivity not just within Square, but across all of Block. Specific to Square, we are raising our priority to increase productivity and positive outcomes for customer service, sales, and marketing. And we have teams focused on building generative AI features to help sellers grow and help them manage some of the more complex or mundane tasks they perform in order to grow their customer base.

Finally, we see a growing opportunity for banking with and on Square, and are surfacing it as one of our top priorities. We’ve come a long way since introducing Square Capital. We now have a number of financial tools in the market to help sellers with cash flow and purchasing, including Loans, Debit Card, Credit Card, Checking, Savings, and Bill Pay. We will make these more cohesive as a cash flow home that sellers love because of the fast access to their funds, automatic budgeting, and time-saving tools to spend for their business.

I’m grateful to get to work closely with the Square team again to focus on our strengths, improve our execution, and reinvigorate growth with new technology and products. We have a cohesive offering like no other, that will only get stronger as we focus back on our original founding principle: if we help a seller grow, we grow.

We want to thank all of you for your trust and continued belief in our work. We will work to balance that trust with accountability, some of which I hope this letter provides.

Thank you,

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this letter to their nearest GAAP equivalents are provided at the end of this letter. Please see these reconciliations for a description of certain items that affected operating income (loss) and net income (loss) in the third quarter of 2023.

¹ We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), or GAAP reconciliations of the aforementioned non-GAAP metrics, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliations, as the 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.

Cash App Ecosystem

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 . Examples of transactions include sending or receiving a peer-to-peer payment, transferring money into or out of Cash App, making a purchase using Cash App Card, earning a dividend on a stock investment, and paying back a loan, among others. 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).

Inflows per transacting

active refers to total inflows in the quarter divided by monthly actives for the last month of the quarter. Inflows refers to funds entering the Cash App ecosystem. Inflows does not include the movement of funds when funds remain in the Cash App ecosystem or when funds leave the Cash App ecosystem, or inflows related to the Afterpay or Verse apps. Inflows from Verse actives were not material to overall inflows.

We are building Cash App for customers to be able to use our ecosystem across their financial needs, starting with Cash App Card. We have seen customers adopt the card and then expand usage to other financial services products within Cash App like Savings, ATMs, Borrow, and Direct Deposit. Cash App Card reached 22 million monthly actives as of September, with approximately 30% of those transacting on any given day. To drive further engagement with Cash App Card, we are focused on new card and personalized design launches; marketing that uses a combination of emails, ads, and push notifications; and the convergence of software and hardware through app themes, card effects, and personalization. For instance, in September we launched Pink Card, a custom pink Cash App Card, and we saw the fastest pace of Cash App Card orders ever sold in one week. We have also seen our paid card holders spend more than those using our free cards.

Our customers have found value in gaining access to our short-term credit product, Cash App Borrow, as it provides flexible cash flow optionality. We have been able to reach scale while also maintaining historical loss rates of less than 3% on average: In the third quarter, we originated over $900 million in short-term loans and had more than 2 million Cash App Borrow monthly actives as of September.

We’re working to provide additional utility to banking products like direct deposit, and offer more choice to customers, which in turn drives engagement. In October, we started offering Auto-save paychecks and Paychecks applet, allowing customers to automatically save a percentage of each direct-deposited paycheck across savings, stocks, bitcoin, or their stored balance.

We launched a custom pink Cash App Card in the third quarter that pairs with an in-app pink theme. This is part of our strategy to elevate the card experience, and we have seen paid card holders spend more than those using our free cards.

BLOCK Q3 2023 6

Cash App Pay experienced strong growth and positive unit economics in the third quarter: As of September, we had more than 2 million Cash App Pay monthly actives, doubling since June. Growth has been driven by our recent partnerships, such as DoorDash, Adyen, and Stripe, as well as other large Afterpay merchants. Widening distribution of Cash App Pay allows us to reach customers beyond those whom Cash App Card serves today, and provides increased utility around stored funds.

Cash App Pay volumes are not included in our reported GPV numbers because GPV is related only to transaction-based revenue and not to subscription and services-based revenue. Cash App Pay revenue is included in subscription and services-based revenue.

Square Ecosystem

In August, we launched Square Go, a consumer app that provides a marketplace of local beauty and personal care sellers that use the Square platform, with plans to bring the mobile booking functionality to more verticals in the future. Square Go directly integrates with Square Appointments to provide an end-to-end booking experience so consumers can search, discover, and schedule with highly rated independent service providers in their area. We have connected sellers and buyers to create nearly half a million bookings through Square Go in the third quarter since launch, and week-over-week bookings continued to increase through the same period.

We are focused on refining our go-to-market strategy to win more complex sellers, and in the third quarter we began introducing more formal contracts for large sellers. While smaller sellers enjoy the flexibility of no long-term contracts, we have learned that larger sellers prefer to have set terms for a year or more, allowing them to better manage their cash flow. Enabling multi-year contract terms empowers our sales team to bring sellers into our ecosystem, which allows us to provide competitive up-front discounts and rate guarantees to sellers.

The franchise market in the U.S. drives more than $860 billion of projected revenue across 9,000 brands and a range of verticals.¹ During the third quarter, we introduced Square for Franchises to serve these complex sellers and expand our serviceable market. Franchise and multi-entity sellers are key to our upmarket strategy as they generally use more products and generate greater gross profit than non-franchise sellers. With the Square for Franchises platform, sellers can efficiently manage multiple locations by having a comprehensive view of store performance, offer unique menu options, and coordinate gift card and loyalty programs.

We believe artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful assistant to help sellers further grow their businesses as it can enable greater creativity, efficiency, and productivity. In October, we launched several new AI features dedicated to helping sellers automate operations, speed up workflows, and regain time. For example, approximately 60% of new restaurant sellers have indicated that they don’t have or aren’t ready to upload their menu during onboarding. With Menu Generator, sellers can now create a full menu on Square in minutes, giving them valuable momentum when launching operations on Square.

We’re working to provide sellers in our global markets with innovative tools to account for all forms of payment their customers want to use. During the third quarter, we launched Tap to Pay on Android in Japan and Canada, joining six other countries across Australia, Europe, the UK, and the U.S. As demand for contactless payments continues to scale around the globe, we have seen strong adoption and the ability of Tap to Pay to drive acquisition in our current markets.

Financial Discussion

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

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 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.

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.

REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT

Total net revenue was $5.62 billion in the third quarter of 2023, up 24% year over year. Excluding bitcoin revenue, revenue in the third quarter was $3.19 billion, up 16% year over year. Gross profit was $1.90 billion, up 21% year over year.

Transaction-based revenue was $1.66 billion in the third quarter of 2023, up 9% year over year, and transactionbased gross profit was $674 million, up 9% year over year. We processed $60.08 billion in GPV in the third quarter of 2023, up 10% year over year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.12% in the third quarter, down 1 basis point year over year and 4 basis points quarter over quarter.

Subscription and services-based revenue was $1.49 billion in the third quarter of 2023, up 25% year over year, and subscription and services-based gross profit was $1.23 billion, up 28% year over year.

In the third quarter of 2023, gross profit included $18 million of amortization of acquired technology assets, the majority of which was from the acquisition of our BNPL platform.

SQUARE ECOSYSTEM REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT

Software and integrated payments gross profit excludes contributions from our BNPL platform.

In the third quarter of 2023, Square generated $1.98 billion of revenue and $899 million of gross profit, up 12% and 15% year over year, respectively. Our BNPL platform contributed $129 million of revenue and $94 million of gross profit to Square in the third quarter of 2023.

We continued to drive growth in software and integrated payments, with gross profit from these products up 16% year over year. Gross profit from sidecar payments, or transactions where sellers enter an amount on the keypad and hit charge, grew 2% year over year. Gross profit from our banking products, which primarily include Square Loans, Instant Transfer, and Square Debit Card, was up 20% year over year and 24% year over year excluding gross profit attributable to Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness.

Square generated $1.54 billion of transaction-based revenue in the third quarter of 2023, up 10% year over year. During the quarter, Square saw more favorable interchange economics, which offset a higher percentage of cardpresent and credit card transactions on a year-over-year basis, which are less favorable to our economics on a per transaction basis.

In the third quarter of 2023, Square GPV was $55.69 billion, up 11% year over year and 12% year over year on a constant currency basis. We observed the following trends in Square GPV during the third quarter of 2023:

Products: Card-present GPV was up 15% year over year. Card-not-present GPV was up 4% year over year, with card-not-present GPV from software and integrated payments outpacing overall card-not-present GPV.
Geographies: Square GPV in our U.S. market grew 9% year over year, and growth in our international markets was 28% year over year. On a constant currency basis, Square GPV in our international markets was up 30% year over year.

Services verticals include professional services, beauty and personal care, health care and fitness, and home and repair.

Verticals: On a year-over-year basis, food and drink GPV was up 16%, GPV from services verticals was up 8%, and retail GPV was up 7%. Gross profit from our vertical point-of-sale solutions, including Square Appointments, Square for Restaurants, and Square for Retail, was up 29% year over year.
Acquisition and Retention: We achieved positive growth in acquisition of new sellers. Retention of existing sellers is a function of churn and GPV per seller. During the quarter, we saw stability in churn of existing sellers compared to historical levels. In the U.S., growth in GPV per seller continued to be affected by consumer demand as year-over-year growth in spend per card and in the number of unique cards decelerated in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Square generated $402 million of subscription and services-based revenue during the third quarter of 2023, up 21% year over year. Square Loans facilitated approximately 120,000 loans totaling $1.17 billion in originations, up 4% year over year.

Hardware revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $42 million, down 2% year over year, and gross loss was $36 million as we use hardware as an acquisition tool.

CASH APP ECOSYSTEM REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT

In the third quarter of 2023, Cash App generated $3.58 billion of revenue and $984 million of gross profit, up 34% and 27% year over year, respectively. Excluding bitcoin revenue, Cash App revenue was $1.16 billion, up 26% year over year. Our BNPL platform contributed $129 million of revenue and $94 million of gross profit to Cash App in the third quarter of 2023.

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 September, Cash App had 55 million monthly transacting actives, up 11% year over year. Inflows per transacting active in the third quarter were $1,132, up 8% year over year and relatively stable quarter over quarter. Overall inflows were $62 billion, up 21% year over year and 1% quarter over quarter. Monetization rate was 1.43%, up 8 basis points year over year and flat quarter over quarter.

In the third quarter of 2023, Cash App Business GPV was $4.38 billion, up 1% year over year. Cash App Business GPV comprises Cash App activity related to peer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts and peer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card.

Transaction, loan, and consumer receivables losses were $177 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 20% year over year. The increase was driven primarily by an operational outage as well as growth in Cash App Card transactions 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 third quarter of 2023, operating expenses included $57 million of amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets, the majority of which was from the acquisition of our BNPL platform. The year-over-year increase in amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets was driven primarily by the revision of certain intangibles’ useful lives as well as the timing of the acquisition of Afterpay in the first quarter of 2022 and the related intangible assets and measurement period adjustments.

In the third quarter of 2023, operating loss was $10 million and Adjusted Operating Income was $90 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 sharebased 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.

BALANCE SHEET/CASH FLOW

We ended the third quarter of 2023 with $8.1 billion in available liquidity, with $7.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable debt securities, as well as $775 million available to be withdrawn from our revolving credit facility. Additionally, we had $1.7 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 2023, Adjusted EBITDA contributed positively to our overall liquidity.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $899 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $131 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to negative $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

2024 OUTLOOK Adjusted EBITDA1 Adjusted Operating Income1	2024
	$2,400M $875M

In 2024 we expect a significant improvement in Adjusted Operating Income margin on a year-over-year basis in 2024 compared to 2023. Our outlook does not assume any additional macroeconomic deterioration, which could impact our results.

We have historically allocated the financial results from our BNPL platform equally to the Cash App and Square segments. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our management reporting structure and moved the business activities and management of our BNPL platform fully under Cash App. Accordingly, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, we will update our segment reporting to incorporate the financial results of the BNPL platform within the Cash App segment, rather than allocating 50% of revenue and gross profit from our BNPL platform to each of Square and Cash App. We will also reflect this change for the applicable historical periods we present in our future filings.

On a GAAP basis, we currently expect to recognize approximately $61 million in expenses related to amortization of intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2023, based on the intangible assets as of September 30, 2023. This quarterly expense includes approximately $18 million recognized in cost of sales and approximately $43 million in operating expenses. On a GAAP basis, we currently expect to recognize approximately $222 million in expenses related to amortization of intangible assets in the full year 2024, based on the intangible assets as of September 30, 2023. This annual expense includes approximately $68 million recognized in cost of sales and approximately $154 million in operating expenses. These amounts may be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in future periods.

We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), 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, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliations, as the 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. The 2023 outlook table shows our current outlook for the full year 2023 compared to our prior outlook provided in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined by dividing Adjusted Operating Income over a given period by gross profit over the same period.

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Diluted Adjusted Net generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), from Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures period to period, we consider and present certain operating and financial that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, measures that we consider key metrics or are not prepared in accordance adjusted to eliminate the effect of share-based compensation expenses; with GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume (GPV), Adjusted EBITDA, amortization of intangible assets; gain or loss on revaluation of equity Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share investments; bitcoin impairment losses; amortization of debt discount and (Adjusted EPS), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating issuance costs; and the gain or loss on the disposal of property and Income (Loss) margin, constant currency, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and equipment, as applicable.

We also exclude from We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate these measures certain acquisition-related and integration costs associated period-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons with business combinations, and various other costs that are not reflective of of our performance to that of other payments solution providers. We define our core operating performance. We exclude amortization of intangible GPV as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers assets arising from business combinations because the amount of such using Square, net of refunds, and ACH transfers. Additionally, GPV includes expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying Cash App Business GPV, which comprises Cash App activity related to performance of our ongoing business operations. Acquisition-related costs peer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts, and peer-to-peer include amounts paid to redeem acquirees’ unvested stock-based payments sent from a credit card. GPV does not include transactions from compensation awards, and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs. our BNPL platform. Integration costs include advisory and other professional services or consulting fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses. Other costs that are not reflective of our core business operating expenses may include contingent losses, impairment charges, and 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 Operating Income (Loss) margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) divided by gross profit. To calculate 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, 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.

Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, 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 certain of these measures 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 have included measures excluding PPP loan forgiveness gross profit because we believe these measures are useful in order to facilitate comparisons of our business without PPP loan forgiveness.
