Marqeta Second Quarter Earnings Report Shows 76 Percent Jump in Net Revenue, Driven by Customer Growth

The global modern card issuing platform issued its first earnings report as a public company, showing net revenue of $122 million, up 76 percent year-over-year, with 76 percent growth in total processing volume and a 70 percent increase in gross profit.

Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), a leading modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Marqeta reported net revenue was $122 million, with total processing volume (TPV) of $26.5 billion, both increases of 76% from the same quarter of 2020. The company saw gross profit of $47 million during the quarter, up 70% from the same quarter of 2020. Marqeta reported a GAAP net loss of $68.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(10.6) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“Our earnings demonstrate an enormous appetite for modern card issuing, demand across diverse industries and rapid growth with our customers,” said Jason Gardner, Founder and CEO of Marqeta.

Marqeta’s second quarter earnings growth was underscored by several key business updates:

  • Marqeta announced that it had been chosen by Google to power the launch of a digital card for Google Pay balance users.
  • Marqeta continues to see strong growth from the Buy Now, Pay Later vertical, where it supports the majority of the leading innovators. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, net revenue for this vertical increased 350% compared to the same quarter in 2020.
  • In July, Marqeta extended its agreement with Affirm, a Buy Now, Pay Later category leader, through January 2024, showing the long term commitment its customers are making to build and scale on its platform.
  • Marqeta added two key leaders with deep experience to drive the next chapter of Marqeta’s growth: Darren Mowry, formerly leading AWS’s business in EMEA, joined as CRO, while Randy Kern, a technology leader with Salesforce, joined as CTO.

1 Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

2 We track a number of operating and financial metrics, including the key metric set forth in this table (Total Processing Volume), to help evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, evaluate the effectiveness of our investments, and assess operational efficiencies. Total Processing Volume (TPV) represents the total dollar amount of payments processed through our platform, net of returns and chargebacks. We believe that TPV is a key indicator of the market adoption of our platform, growth of our brand, growth of our customers' businesses and scale of our business.

3 See "Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" for definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and a reconciliation of the net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Revenue: Net revenue increased by $52.9 million, or 76% year-over-year, driven by higher TPV from existing large customers and continued growth in processing volume from both our Digital Banking and Buy-Now-Pay-Later customers.

Gross Profit: Gross profit increased by 70% year-over-year to $47.0 million. Gross margin decreased from 40% during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to 38% during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 due to increased card networks fees.

Net Loss: Net loss increased by $61.4 million, or 865%, year-over-year to $68.6 million as a significant increase in gross profit was offset by increases in employee-related costs.

Total Processing Volume: TPV increased by 76% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021 was $(10.6) million, a decrease of $(7.6) million year-over-year.

Marqeta, Inc.

Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures

(in thousands)

(unaudited)

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Marqeta considers Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental measures of the company’s performance that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; income tax expense; and other income (expense) net, which consists of changes in the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities (for periods prior to the IPO), realized foreign currency gains and losses, and interest income from our marketable securities. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including our operating efficiencies, from period to period. Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an input into our calculation of certain annual employee bonus plans.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. This measure is used by management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating efficiency.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net loss, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than Marqeta does, which limits its usefulness in comparing Marqeta’s financial results with those of other companies.

The following table shows Marqeta's GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure is not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items as such items cannot be reasonably predicted. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
