Current report

On October 22, 2025, we redeemed the $425 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 5.900% senior notes due in November 2025. Total cash consideration paid was $425 million, as the redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2025, we experienced an increase in canceled orders as buyers and sellers adapted to new U.S. trade policies. This trend may continue depending on the state of future global trade policies and the speed with which our buyers and sellers adjust to these changes or respond to uncertainty around global trade policies. Changes in return and cancellation rates can impact our GMV growth rate and related take rate. As a result, we clarified above that our definition of GMV includes returns and cancellations. We have consistently included returns and cancellations in our previously reported GMV.

Current report

Interest income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a lower average notional amount of fixed-income investments.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in uncertain tax positions resulting from audit settlements, a net benefit associated with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and an increase in excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

Previous report

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation offset by a remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities due to enacted Illinois legislation regarding the taxability of foreign earnings. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was also impacted by the reversal of the benefit related to California's apportionment of dividends in 2024.
