Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Etsy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive (loss) income, of changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment – Reverb Reporting Unit

As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $138 million as of December 31, 2023, of which a significant portion relates to the Reverb reporting unit. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an interim triggering event occurs that may indicate potential impairment. The Company completed a quantitative analysis for the Reverb reporting unit, which concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was sufficiently in excess of its carrying value. As disclosed by management, to determine a reporting unit’s fair value, management uses the income approach, which uses significant judgments, including estimates of future revenue, operating margins, long-term growth rates, and discount rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Reverb reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Reverb reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimates of future revenue, operating margins, and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Reverb reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Reverb reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the income approach; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to estimates of future revenue, operating margins, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumption related to estimates of future revenue and operating margins involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Reverb reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach and the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Etsy operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world. These marketplaces - which collectively create a “House of Brands” - share the Company’s mission, common levers for growth, similar business models, and a strong commitment to use business and technology to strengthen communities and empower people. The Company’s primary marketplace, Etsy.com, is the global destination for unique and creative goods made by independent sellers. The Company generates revenue primarily from marketplace activities, including transaction (inclusive of offsite advertising), payments processing, and listing fees, as well as from optional seller services, which include on-site advertising and shipping labels.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Etsy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On July 12, 2021, Etsy acquired all of the issued share capital of Depop Limited (“Depop”) pursuant to a share purchase, and the financial results of Depop have been included in Etsy’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. On July 2, 2021, Etsy acquired all the outstanding shares of Elo7 Serviços de Informática S.A. (“Elo7”) by means of a merger, and on August 10, 2023, Etsy closed on the sale of the parent holding company of Elo7 to Enjoei S.A., a corporation in Brazil. The financial results of Elo7 have been included in Etsy’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition until August 10, 2023. See “Note 5—Business Combinations” and “Note 6—Sale of Business” for more information.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. The accounting estimates that require management’s most subjective judgments include: stock-based compensation; income taxes; business combinations; valuation of goodwill; and leases. As of December 31, 2023, there continues to be significant global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty which may impact the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and judgments require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is diversified; generated from a mix of marketplace activities and other optional services the Company provides to sellers to help them generate more sales and scale their businesses. Revenues are recognized as the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to sellers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods or services by considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, has inventory risk, and has the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. Based on its evaluation of these factors, revenue is recorded either gross or net of costs associated with the transaction. The Company’s revenue is recognized on a gross basis, with the primary exception being shipping label revenue, which is recorded on a net basis. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.

Marketplace revenue: As members of the Etsy.com marketplace, Etsy sellers receive the benefit of marketplace activities, including listing items for sale, completing sales transactions, and payments processing, which represents a single stand-ready performance obligation. Etsy marketplace sellers pay a fixed listing fee of $0.20 for each item listed on Etsy.com, and the listing fee is recognized ratably over afour-month listing period, unless the item is sold or the seller re-lists it, at which time any remaining listing fee is recognized. Listing fees are nonrefundable.

Variable fees include transaction fees and payments processing fees. Etsy marketplace sellers pay a 6.5% transaction fee, which was increased from 5% effective April 11, 2022, for each completed transaction, inclusive of shipping fees charged. The Etsy marketplace charges sellers for Offsite Ads, whereby sellers pay a transaction fee of 12% or 15% of the value of a sale based on the seller’s volume of sales, if such sale is generated from an advertisement placed by Etsy on third-party internet platforms. The corresponding expense is recorded in marketing. Etsy marketplace sellers pay Etsy Payments processing fees, which typically vary between 3.0% and 4.5% of an item’s total sale price, including shipping, plus a flat fee per order that depends on the country in which a seller’s bank account is located, plus an additional transaction fee for foreign currency payments. The transaction fee, Offsite Ads transaction fee, and Etsy Payments processing fees are recognized when the corresponding transaction is consummated, and are recorded net of refunds.

Reverb and Depop marketplace revenue is comprised of seller transaction fees and payments processing fees, which are recognized when the transaction is consummated, and are recorded net of refunds. Reverb and Depop sellers pay a 5% and 10% transaction fee, respectively, for each completed transaction, inclusive of shipping fees charged.

Services revenue: Services revenue is derived from optional services offered to Etsy marketplace sellers, which primarily include on-site advertising and shipping labels. Each service represents an individual obligation that the Company must perform when a seller chooses to use the service.

On-site advertising services consist of cost-per-click fees an Etsy marketplace seller pays for prominent placement of her listings. These fees are nonrefundable and are charged to a seller’s Etsy bill when the listing is clicked, at which time revenue is recognized.

Revenue from shipping labels consists of fees an Etsy marketplace seller pays the Company when they purchase shipping labels through the platform, net of the cost the Company incurs in purchasing those shipping labels. The Company provides its sellers access to purchase shipping labels at discounted pricing due to the volume of purchases through its platform. The Company recognizes shipping label revenue when an Etsy marketplace seller purchases a shipping label. The Company recognizes shipping label revenue on a net basis as it is an agent in this arrangement and does not take control of shipping labels prior to transferring the labels to the Etsy marketplace seller. Etsy shipping label revenue is recorded net of refunds.

The Reverb and Depop marketplaces offer on-site advertising services (Depop as of the end of the third quarter of 2022), and shipping labels services. Each service represents an individual obligation that the Company must perform when a seller chooses to use the service. Shipping label revenue is recorded net of refunds.

Contract balances: The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of the completion of thefour-month listing period on Etsy.com, which represents the value of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations, unless the item is sold or the seller re-lists it, at which time any remaining listing fee is recognized. The amount of revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023 that was included in the deferred balance at January 1, 2023 was $14.0 million.

Cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of interchange and other fees for payments processing services, and expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of the Company’s platforms, including hosting and bandwidth costs. Cost of revenue also includes chargebacks to support payments revenue and costs of refunds made to buyers that the Company is either not able to collect from sellers or are otherwise covered by us, which the Company collectively refers to as cost of refunds, and seller verification fees. Additionally, cost of revenue includes certain employee compensation-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, and third-party customer support services.

Marketing expenses primarily consist of direct marketing expenses, which largely includes digital marketing and television ad and digital video expenses. Marketing expenses also include employee compensation-related expenses to support the Company’s marketing initiatives and amortization expense related to acquired customer relationship and trademark intangible assets. Advertising expenses are recognized as incurred, with the exception of certain production expenses related to television and display advertising which are deferred until the first time an advertisement airs or is published. If such advertising is not expected to occur, costs are expensed immediately. Advertising expenses related to direct marketing, included in marketing expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $624.3 million, $581.1 million, and $559.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Product Development

Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation-related expenses for engineering, product management, product design, and product research activities, net of costs capitalized to website development and internal-use software. Additional expenses include consulting costs related to the development, quality assurance, and testing of new technology and enhancement of the Company’s existing technology.

Stock-Based Compensation

Service-based stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are awarded to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) are awarded to employees. All such awards are measured at fair value at each grant date.

The PBRSUs include financial performance-based restricted stock units (“Financial PBRSUs”) and total shareholder return performance-based restricted stock units (“TSR PBRSUs”), both of which have performance and service vesting requirements. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The Company calculates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the expense is recognized over the requisite service period. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company calculates expected volatility based on the historical volatility of Etsy’s stock price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. The Company estimates its expected term using historical option exercise behavior and expected post-vest cancellation data, averaged with an assumption that recently granted options will be exercised ratably from vesting to the expiration of the stock option. The fair value of RSUs and Financial PBRSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on the grant date. Additionally, the fair value of the Financial PBRSUs takes into consideration a vesting probability assessment as of each reporting date. The fair value of the TSR PBRSUs is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model on the grant date.

The requisite service period for both employee stock options and RSUs is generally four years from the grant date, and the requisite service period for board member stock options isone year from the grant date. For PBRSUs, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the longer of the derived, explicit, or implicit service period. As of interim and annual reporting periods, the Financial PBRSUs stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on expected achievement of performance targets, while TSR PBRSUs stock-based compensation expense is not adjusted.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined that the functional currency for each of its foreign operations is the currency of the primary cash flow of the operations, which is generally the local currency in the jurisdiction in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses including intercompany balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in foreign exchange gain (loss) within other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit (provision) is based on income before income taxes and is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to settle. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets by considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that are deemed not more likely than not to be realizable.

The Company records tax expense related to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a current period expense when incurred using the period cost method.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate audit settlement.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, associated with income tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted on an if-converted basis for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based compensation awards and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method, respectively, are included when calculating net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.

The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares of common stock.

Segment Data

The Company identifies operating segments as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. Following the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023, the Company has determined it hasthree operating segments, Etsy, Reverb, and Depop, which qualify for aggregation asone reportable segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Short- and Long-term Investments

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash restricted by third-parties is not considered cash and cash equivalents. Short-term investments with original maturities of greater than three months but less than one year, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Long-term investments, other than investments made through the Company’s Impact Investment Fund, with original maturities of greater than twelve months but less than 37 months, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are primarily excluded from earnings and reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax (expense) benefit.

Restricted Cash

The Company classifies any cash balances that are legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the Company’s noncancellable Brooklyn lease agreement, which expires in 2039, the Company established a $5.3 million collateral account, which is reflected in the restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2022. In 2023, this collateral account was closed following the issuance of a $5.3 million standby letter of credit by one of the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) which can be drawn down from amounts available under the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments, and funds receivable and seller accounts. The Company reduces credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, to the extent eligible, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments due to the credit ratings of the financial institutions that hold its short- and long-term investments. In addition, funds receivable settle relatively quickly, and the Company’s historical experience of losses has not been significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management believes that the fair value of financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments (excluding investments made through the Company’s Impact Investment Fund), accounts receivable, funds receivable and seller accounts, accounts payable, and funds payable and amounts due to sellers approximates carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity associated with these instruments or the Company’s ability to liquidate these instruments at short notice with minimal penalties.

The 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2021 Notes”), the 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2020 Notes”), and the 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2019 Notes” and together with the 2021 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”) are not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, but the Company estimates the fair value of the Notes through inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from observable market data, corroborated with quoted market prices of similar instruments. See Note 9—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Accounts Receivable and Provision for Expected Credit Losses

The Company’s trade accounts receivable are recorded at amounts billed to sellers and are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of the provision for expected credit losses, which consists of bad debt expense. The provision is determined by a number of factors, including age of the receivable, current economic conditions, historical losses, and management’s assessment of the financial condition of sellers. Receivables are written off once they are deemed uncollectible. Estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable are recorded to general and administrative expense.

Payment terms: On the first day of every month, Etsy sellers receive a statement outlining the previous month’s charges. Payment is due within 15 days of the date of the monthly statement. The payment terms for Reverb and Depop are also short-term in nature. For Etsy sellers using Etsy Payments, all charges are deducted from the funds credited to the seller’s shop payment account prior to settlement of those funds to the seller’s bank account.

The following table provides a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected (in thousands):

Funds Receivable and Seller Accounts and Funds Payable and Amounts due to Sellers

The Company records funds receivable and seller accounts and funds payable and amounts due to sellers as current assets and liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funds receivable and seller accounts represent amounts received or expected to be received from buyers via third-party credit card processors, which flow through a bank account for payment to sellers. The amounts recorded to funds receivable and seller accounts is the same amount recorded to the funds payable and amounts due to sellers, the latter of which represents the total amount due to sellers, given the intent to use these funds to settle funds payable to sellers. For the Depop marketplace only, the amounts received from buyers which is owed to the sellers is paid to the sellers at point of sale, and therefore no funds receivable and seller accounts and no funds payable and amounts due to sellers are recorded related to the Depop marketplace.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, consisting principally of capitalized website development and internal-use software, building, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization begin at the time the asset is placed into service and is recognized using the straight-line method in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable and amortizable assets to the Consolidated Statements of Operations over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Website Development and Internal-use Software Costs

Costs incurred to develop the Company’s website and software for internal-use are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three tofive years. Capitalization of costs to develop software begin when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Costs related to the design or maintenance of website development and internal-use software are expensed as incurred. The Company periodically reviews capitalized website development and internal-use software costs to determine whether the projects will be completed, placed in service, removed from service, or replaced by other internally-developed or third-party software. If an asset is not expected to provide any future use, the asset is retired and any unamortized cost is expensed.

Capitalized website development and internal-use software costs are included in property and equipment, net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Acquisition-related expenses represent expenses incurred by the Company to effect a business combination, including expenses such as finder’s fees and advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees, and are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as an expense in the period in which the costs are incurred or the services are rendered.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. A reporting unit is an operating segment for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. Following the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023, management has determined that the Company hasthree operating segments, Etsy, Reverb, and Depop, and each operating segment is determined to be a reporting unit.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an interim triggering event occurs that may indicate potential impairment. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company is required to perform a quantitative assessment for impairment. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

See “Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for further information.

Intangible Assets

Finite intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Leases

The Company’s lease arrangements generally include real estate and, to a lesser extent, computer equipment assets. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. At lease commencement, the Company evaluates whether the arrangement is a finance or operating lease, and accounts for it accordingly. Operating leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, finance lease obligations, current, and finance lease obligations, net of current portion on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, lease obligations, and, if applicable, long-term lease obligations in the financial statement line items cited above. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of one year or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease obligations and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. As the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The components of a lease are split into three categories: lease components, including land, building, or other similar components; non-lease components, including common area maintenance, maintenance, consumables, or other similar components; and non-components, including property taxes, insurance, or other similar components. However, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the impaired assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company impaired property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets of its Elo7 reporting unit in full. The Company didnot recognize any long-lived asset impairment charges in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. See “Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and “Note 10—Property and Equipment” for further information.

Contingencies

The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in its judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, it discloses the range of such reasonably possible losses.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Additionally, it requires that a public entity (1) disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment, (2) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and (3) requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this proposed ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet or exceed a quantitative threshold. Additionally, it requires all entities disclose the following information about income taxes paid on an annual basis: (1) the year-to-date amounts of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application to all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its disclosures.

Note 2—Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue disaggregated by Marketplace revenue and optional Services revenue for the periods presented (in thousands):

See “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition” for additional information on revenue recognition. See “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Accounts Receivable and Provision for Expected Credit Losses” for additional information on the Company’s payment terms.

Note 3—Income Taxes

The following are the domestic and foreign components of the Company’s income (loss) before income taxes (in thousands):

The income tax (benefit) provision is comprised of the following (in thousands):

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) provision of $(14.7) million, $32.3 million, and $(21.9) million or an effective tax rate of (5.0)%, (4.9)%, and (4.6)%, respectively.

A reconciliation of the income tax (benefit) provision at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s total income tax (benefit) provision is as follows (in thousands):

(1)Previously disclosed as “U.S. tax reform” for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had the following tax credit and operating loss carryforwards available to offset income tax liability and taxable income, respectively, in future years (in thousands):

Utilization of the net operating losses (“NOLs”) is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income from the Company’s operations in each of the respective jurisdictions to which the NOLs relate, while taking into account tax filing methodologies and limitations and/or restrictions on the Company’s ability to use them. A significant component of the Company’s Non-U.S. NOLs were acquired as part of the acquisition of Depop. Certain U.K. tax laws impose limitations on the utilization of these NOLs by any other entity. All NOLs are also subject to review by relevant tax authorities in the jurisdictions to which they relate.

The Company assesses the likelihood of its ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction by evaluating all relevant positive and negative evidence at each reporting date. To the extent the Company determines that some or all of its deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized, it establishes a valuation allowance.

The following table summarizes the valuation allowance activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Unrecognized tax benefits

The following table summarizes the unrecognized tax benefit activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 are $51.7 million, $35.2 million, and $28.8 million, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate is $49.9 million at December 31, 2023.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain. However, the Company’s reasonable estimate of the range of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, that could potentially be reduced during the next 12 months is $7.8 million.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, New York, and various other states and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2023, tax year 2014 and later remain open to examination. The Company is under examination by the IRS for calendar year 2014 through 2017. These examinations may result in proposed adjustments to the Company’s income tax liability or tax attributes with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods.

The benefit (provision) for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income and deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. Any adjustments as a result of any examination may result in additional taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision.

Over the last several years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has been developing its “two pillar” project to address the tax challenges arising from digitalization. The OECD project, if broadly implemented by participating countries, will result in significant changes to the international taxation system under which our current tax obligations are determined. Pillar Two of the project calls for a minimum tax rate on corporations of 15% and is expected to be implemented by a significant number of countries starting in 2024. The OECD and implementing countries are expected to continue to make further revisions to the rules, however, the Company expects adverse consequences to our tax liabilities based on rules as currently drafted. The Company will continue to monitor developments to determine any potential impact of Pillar Two in the countries in which it operates.

Note 4—Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The following potential shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

Since the Company has reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, because dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Note 5—Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The fair value of customer relationships is estimated using a multi-period excess earnings valuation method, the fair value of trademarks is estimated using a relief from royalty valuation method, and the fair value of developed technology is estimated using a replacement cost method.

Depop Acquisition

On July 12, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued share capital of Depop, an online global peer-to-peer fashion resale marketplace. At the time of acquisition, the Company believed Depop would extend its market opportunity in the high frequency apparel sector, specifically in the fast-growing resale space, and deepen the Company’s reach into the Gen Z consumer. The fair value of consideration transferred of $1.493 billion consisted of: (1) cash consideration paid of $1.489 billion, net of cash acquired and (2) non-cash consideration of $4.8 million representing the portion of the replacement equity awards issued in connection with the acquisition that was associated with services rendered through the date of the acquisition. The portion of the replacement equity awards associated with services rendered post-acquisition is recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the awards. Additionally, deferred consideration awards issued to certain Depop executives are also recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the mandatory service period associated with the deferred consideration. Neither of these awards was included in the fair value of the consideration transferred. See Note 16—Stock-based Compensation for more information on these awards.

At the time of acquisition, goodwill consisted largely of assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities, and value creation across the Company’s businesses. The resulting goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Depop as of December 31, 2021.

Depop Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price (at fair value), including measurement period adjustments, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Depop as of July 12, 2021 (the date of acquisition) (in thousands):

(1)Non-current liabilities are primarily related to non-income tax related contingency reserves.

Elo7 Acquisition

On July 2, 2021, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Elo7 (including Elo7, Ltd. and related subsidiaries entities), by means of a merger, an e-commerce marketplace in Brazil focused on unique, handmade items. At the time of acquisition, the Company saw significant potential in Brazil's e-commerce sector, which is still in early stages of development and fueled by one of the largest economies in the world. The Company believed having a well-known local brand would help Etsy to better capitalize on this opportunity. The fair value of consideration transferred of $212.1 million consisted of: (1) cash consideration paid of $211.3 million, net of cash acquired, and (2) non-cash consideration of $0.8 million representing the portion of the replacement equity awards issued in connection with the acquisition that was associated with services rendered through the date of the acquisition. The portion of the replacement equity awards associated with services rendered post-acquisition are recorded as post-combination expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the awards, and were therefore not included in the fair value of the consideration transferred. See Note 16—Stock-based Compensation for more information on these awards.

At the time of acquisition, goodwill consisted largely of assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities, and value creation across the Company’s businesses. The resulting goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Elo7 as of December 31, 2021.

Elo7 Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price (at fair value), including measurement period adjustments, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Elo7 as of July 2, 2021 (the date of acquisition) (in thousands):

Revenue and Earnings

Revenue and net loss were $36.7 million and $59.1 million, respectively, for Depop and Elo7, in the aggregate, from their respective dates of acquisition through December 31, 2021. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred and were recorded in general and administrative expenses. They were $1.2 million, $2.8 million, and $36.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The 2021 acquisition-related expenses primarily related to advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company, including Depop and Elo7, as if the business combinations had occurred on January 1, 2020 (in thousands):

The pro forma financial information includes adjustments that are directly attributable to the business combinations and are factually supportable. The pro forma adjustments include incremental amortization of intangible and developed technology assets, and remove non-recurring transaction costs directly associated with the acquisitions, such as legal and other professional service fees, and the pro forma tax impact for such adjustments. Cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the acquisitions are not included in the pro forma results. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the pro forma financial information excludes $60.1 million of non-recurring acquisition-related expenses related to the Depop and Elo7 acquisitions. These pro forma results are illustrative only and not indicative of the actual results of operations that would have been achieved nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

Depop and Elo7 Asset Impairment Charges

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company impaired property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets of its Elo7 reporting unit in full. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company fully impaired goodwill related to the Depop and Elo7 acquisitions. See “Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and “Note 10—Property and Equipment“ for further information.

Sale of Elo7

The Company completed the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023. Refer to “Note 6—Sale of Business” for further details.

Note 6—Sale of Business

Due to challenges Etsy faced to effectively scale Elo7 in Brazil over the last two years, particularly given headwinds created by a volatile macroeconomic environment and an increasingly competitive e-commerce market in Brazil, on August 10, 2023, Etsy closed on the sale of the parent holding company of Elo7 to Enjoei S.A., a corporation in Brazil.

The Company recognized a net loss on the sale of Elo7 of $2.6 million, which includes a $7.5 million loss from the reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income related to a cumulative translation adjustment. The net loss on the sale of Elo7 was recorded in Loss on sale of business, under Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Following the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023, management has determined that the Company hasthree operating segments, Etsy, Reverb, and Depop, and each operating segment is determined to be a reporting unit. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, goodwill balances are allocated to Etsy and Reverb, which are the reporting units at which the Company tests goodwill for impairment.

As of the annual impairment testing date in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed a qualitative analysis for the Etsy reporting unit, which indicated no impairment; and a quantitative analysis for the Reverb reporting unit, which concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was sufficiently in excess of its carrying value. As such, no goodwill impairment was identified as of the annual impairment testing date in 2023.

During the third quarter of 2022, the carrying values of the Depop and Elo7 reporting units were determined to be in excess of their fair values such that non-cash impairment charges were recorded of $897.9 million and $147.1 million, representative of the full value of goodwill allocated to the Depop and Elo7 reporting units, respectively. The impairment charges were the result of continued adverse macroeconomic conditions, including reopening, inflationary pressures on consumer discretionary spending, foreign exchange rate volatility, and ongoing geopolitical events, and related headwinds on business performances; along with executive management changes at Depop and Elo7, all of which resulted in downward revisions to the projected future cash flows negatively impacting the reporting units’ fair values. In addition to these adverse changes to projected cash flows, discount rates as of September 30, 2022 increased as compared to those used in our interim quantitative analysis for Depop and Elo7 as of June 30, 2022. The updates to the discount rates and estimated future cash flows each had a significant adverse impact on the estimated fair values of Depop and Elo7 reporting units compared to our June 30, 2022 analysis, which ultimately resulted in impairments of their goodwill balances in the third quarter of 2022. The Company didnot record any non-cash impairment charges to the finite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets of Depop and Elo7 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. No further impairment charges were recorded within our Etsy or Reverb reporting units as of our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2022.

As of the annual impairment testing date in 2021, the Company completed a qualitative analysis for both the Etsy and the Reverb reporting units, which indicated no impairment; and completed a quantitative analysis for both the Depop and Elo7 reporting units. The quantitative analysis assumed that the purchase consideration for the Depop and Elo7 acquisitions approximated the fair value of each of the reporting units given the proximity to the respective acquisition dates.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, the Company didnot record any goodwill impairment expense. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $1.0 billion of goodwill impairment expense.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the gross book value and accumulated amortization of intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $39.7 million, $41.3 million, and $28.4 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company concluded that the book value of the finite-lived intangible assets for the Elo7 reporting units were fully impaired, and recorded an impairment charge of $60.2 million in Asset Impairment charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which primarily related to trademark and customer relationships. The impairment charge was the result of macroeconomic conditions at the time, challenges applying the Company’s technological, marketing, and operational expertise to help scale Elo7’s business, and the resultant headwinds to the business, which caused the Company to revise its business forecasts for Elo7 downwards. The Company prepared an updated fair value for the Elo7 reporting unit based on a quantitative assessment, which included estimates of future revenue, and the net available cash flows; as well as a determination that the Company would more likely than not use the Elo7 asset group for a period of less than twelve months. The Company completed the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023. Refer to “Note 6—Sale of Business” for further details. The Company didnot recognize any intangible asset impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Based on amounts recorded at December 31, 2023, the Company estimates future amortization expense of intangible assets as follows (in thousands):

Note 8—Segment and Geographic Information

The Company has determined it hasthree operating segments, Etsy, Reverb, and Depop, which qualify for aggregation asone reportable segment.

Revenue by country is based on the billing address of the seller. The following table summarizes revenue by geographic area (in thousands):

With the exception of the United States and United Kingdom, no individual country’s revenue exceeded 10% of total revenue.

The following table summarizes tangible long-lived assets by geographic area (in thousands):

With the exception of the United States, no individual country’s tangible long-lived assets exceeded 10% of total tangible long-lived assets.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements

The Company has characterized its investments, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the investment. Investments recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices in markets that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3 These are financial instruments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. The Company did not have any Level 3 instruments as of December 31, 2022.

Short- and long-term investments and certain cash equivalents consist of investments in debt securities that are available-for-sale.

In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company set up the Impact Investment Fund through which the Company expects to deploy approximately $30 million to further the Company’s Impact strategy and goals. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company invested a portion of the Impact Investment Fund infour investments which are classified as long-term investments on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The investments in loan receivables are measured on an amortized cost basis and the investments in third-party managed funds are measured on the net assets value (“NAV”) basis. The Company uses NAV or its equivalent to measure the value of certain investments in alternative investment funds, debt funds, equity funds, and private equity funds, which may be redeemable in the near term or restricted from redemption in the near term, as a practical expedient. NAV is primarily determined based on the information provided by external fund administrators for which the most recent financial information is typically received on a lag within the quarter following the Company’s balance sheet date.

The following table sets forth the cost, gross unrealized losses, gross unrealized gains, and fair values of the Company’s investments as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

(1)There wereno money market funds classified as funds receivable and seller accounts as of December 31, 2023. $88.5 million of money market funds were classified as funds receivable and seller accounts as of December 31, 2022.

(2)Third-party managed funds measured on the NAV basis have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The amount presented in the table is intended to permit reconciliation of the long-term investments in the fair value hierarchy to the amount presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The table below shows the gross unrealized loss and fair value of the following investments in available-for-sale debt securities that are classified by the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of the dates

indicated (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2022, the remaining available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.

The Company evaluates fair value for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When assessing the risk of credit loss, the Company considers factors such as the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the credit rating, including whether there has been any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, available information relevant to the collectability of the security, and management’s intended holding period and time horizon for selling the security. The Company did not recognize a credit loss in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

Outside of the Company’s Impact Investment Fund, the Company typically invests in short- and long-term instruments, including fixed-income funds and U.S. Government securities aligned with the Company’s investment strategy. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, all investments, other than investments made through its Impact Investment Fund, have maturities no longer than 37 months, with the average maturity of these investments maintained at 12 months or less.

Disclosure of Fair Values

The Company’s financial instruments that are not remeasured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include the Notes. See “Note 13—Debt” for additional information. The Company estimates the fair value of the Notes through inputs that are observable in the market, classified as Level 2 as described above. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Notes as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

The carrying value of other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, funds receivable and seller accounts, accounts payable, and funds payable and amounts due to sellers approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity associated with these instruments.

Note 10—Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $51.6 million, $55.5 million, and $45.8 million, which included amortization expense relating to capitalized website development and internal-use software of $34.3 million, $37.3 million, and $30.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company concluded that the book value of the long-lived assets for the Elo7 reporting units were fully impaired, and recorded an impairment charge of $7.9 million in Asset Impairment charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which primarily related to developed technology. The impairment charge was the result of macroeconomic conditions at the time, challenges applying the Company’s technological, marketing, and operational expertise to help scale Elo7’s business, and the resultant headwinds to the business, which caused the Company to revise its business forecasts for Elo7 downwards. The Company prepared an updated fair value for the Elo7 reporting unit based on a quantitative assessment, which included estimates of future revenue, and the net available cash flows; as well as a determination that the Company would more likely than not use the Elo7 asset group for a period of less than twelve months. The Company completed the sale of Elo7 in the third quarter of 2023. Refer to “Note 6—Sale of Business” for further details. In the third quarter of 2022, the developed technology asset acquired as part of the Reverb acquisition, and as recorded in capitalized website development and internal-use software, was fully amortized.

Note 11—Leases

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the elements of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

(1)Other lease cost, net includes short-term lease costs and variable lease costs.

(1)In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”) related to the Company’s corporate headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, a portion of which is accounted for as a finance lease and a portion as an operating lease. The First Amendment extended the expiration of the term of the lease from July 31, 2026 to July 31, 2039. The First Amendment includes a tenant allowance, a portion of which became available beginning in April 2022, rent concessions that become available beginning in 2026, and escalating commitments each contract year between 2028 and 2038, which are reflected in the future minimum lease payments.

Note 12—Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consisted of the following as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

(1)December 31, 2023 includes severance and employee-related benefits associated with restructuring and other exit costs. See “Note 17—Restructuring and Other Exit Costs” for more information.

Note 13—Debt

The following table presents the outstanding principal amount and carrying value of the Notes as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Terms of the Notes

The terms of the Notes are summarized below:

(1)Based on the daily closing prices of the Company’s stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, holders of the 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, and 2019 Notes are not eligible to convert their 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, and remaining 2019 Notes, respectively, during the first quarter of 2024.

(2)The initial conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of the Company’s common stock.

Based on the terms of each series of Notes, they will mature on the respective maturity date, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Additionally, the holders of each series of Notes may convert all or a portion of the Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the respective contractual convertibility date only under the following circumstances (in each case, as applicable to each series of Notes): (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (and only such calendar quarter) for the 2021 Notes, 2020 Notes, and remaining 2019 Notes, respectively, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the 5 business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Note for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls the Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after the applicable contractual convertibility date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s liabilities that are not so subordinated; are effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness; and are structurally junior to all indebtedness and liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Based on the terms of each series of Notes, when a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. Accordingly, the Company cannot be required to settle the Notes in cash and, therefore, the Notes are classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2023.

2021 Convertible Debt

In June 2021, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2021 Notes, at the Company’s option, subject to partial redemption limitations, on or after June 20, 2025, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2021 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased. Holders of 2021 Notes who convert their 2021 Notes in connection with a notice of a redemption or a make-whole fundamental change may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the 2021 Notes. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2021 Notes to early convert have been met.

The Company used $74.7 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Notes to enter into privately negotiated capped call instruments (“2020 Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions.

If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2020 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be repurchased.

2019 Convertible Debt

In September 2019, the Company issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2019 Notes were $639.5 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company used $76.2 million of the net proceeds from the 2019 Notes offering to enter into separate capped call instruments (“2019 Capped Call Transactions”) with the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates.

If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2019 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be repurchased.

2018 Convertible Debt

In March 2018, the Company issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2018 Notes were $335.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company used $34.2 million of the net proceeds from the 2018 Notes offering to enter into separate capped call instruments (“2018 Capped Call Transactions”) with the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid $137.2 million in cash and issued approximately 7.3 million shares of Etsy’s common stock to repurchase $301.1 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2018 Notes through privately negotiated transactions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, which consists of coupon interest and amortization of debt issuance costs, related to each of the Notes for the periods presented below was as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value of Notes

The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined through inputs that are observable in the market, and are classified as Level 2. See “Note 9—Fair Value Measurements ” for more information regarding the fair value of the Notes.

Capped Call Transactions

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from each of the Note offerings to enter into separate privately negotiated capped call instruments (the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 capped call instruments collectively referred to as the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions, initial purchasers, and/or their respective affiliates. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. Collectively, the Capped Call Transactions cover, initially, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the respective Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes.

The initial terms of the Company’s Capped Call Transactions are presented below:

The 2018 capped call transactions matured on March 1, 2023, and, in accordance with the settlement terms, the Company received 1,194,006 shares of the Company’s common stock from the counterparties to the capped call instruments. These shares were retired upon receipt.

Each series of the Capped Call Transactions does not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to the Company’s stock. The premiums paid for each of the Capped Call Transactions have been included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity.

2023 Credit Agreement

On March 24, 2023, the Company entered into a $400.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative Agent. The 2023 Credit Agreement will mature in March 2028 and includes a letter of credit sublimit of $60.0 million and a swingline loan sublimit of $20.0 million.

The 2023 Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Credit Agreement dated as of February 25, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) between the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Citibank N.A., as administrative Agent.

Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement (other than swingline loans) bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (i) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) an adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, in each case plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%. Swingline loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at the same base rate (plus the margin applicable to borrowings bearing interest at the base rate). These margins are determined based on the senior secured net leverage ratio (defined as secured funded debt, net of unrestricted cash up to $100.0 million, to EBITDA (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement)) for the preceding four fiscal quarter periods. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, including an unused commitment fee, ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% depending on the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio, and fees associated with letters of credit. The 2023 Credit Agreement also permits the Company, in certain circumstances, to request an increase in the facility by an amount of up to $200.0 million at the same maturity, pricing, and other terms and to request an extension of the maturity date for the facility. In connection with the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Company also paid the lenders certain upfront fees.

The 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things, indebtedness, liens, certain fundamental changes (including mergers), investments, dispositions, restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), prepayments of junior debt, and transactions with affiliates. These restrictions do not prohibit a subsidiary of the Company from making pro rata payments to the Company or any other person that owns an equity interest in such subsidiary. The 2023 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, that require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain (i) a secured net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, subject to an increase, at the option of the Company, to 4.00 to 1.00 for a specified period of time in the event of certain material acquisitions, tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The 2023 Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal or interest, breaches of representations and warranties, failure to perform or observe covenants, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, final judgments or orders, certain change of control events, and certain bankruptcy-related events or proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (subject to notice and grace periods), obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement could be accelerated.

Subject to certain exceptions, to the extent the Company has any material domestic subsidiaries, the obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement would be required to be guaranteed by such material domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement are secured by all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and any such subsidiary guarantors.

While the Company hadno outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023, one of the lenders has issued a $5.3 million standby letter of credit in favor of the landlord of the Company’s corporate headquarters, which can be drawn down from amounts available under the 2023 Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, the Company didnot have any borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

The Company has $420.8 million of non-cancelable contractual commitments as of December 31, 2023, primarily related to cloud computing in which the commitments are due over the course of approximately three years. For agreements with variable terms, the Company does not estimate what the total obligation may be beyond any minimum quantities and/or pricing. For purchase obligations with cancellation provisions, the amounts included in the following table were limited to the non-cancelable portion of the agreement terms or the minimum cancellation fees.

The Company’s future payments under purchase obligations as of December 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

Non-Income Tax Contingencies

The Company had reserves of $26.2 million and $43.2 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for certain non-income tax obligations, representing management’s best estimate of its potential liability. The reserves as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 include $11.5 million and $30.4 million, respectively, due to the acquisitions of subsidiaries, some of which are offset by an indemnification asset of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were primarily recorded as part of purchase accounting. The Company could also be subject to examination in various jurisdictions related to income tax and non-income tax matters. The resolution of these types of matters, if in excess of the recorded reserve, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

From time to time in the normal course of business, various claims and litigation have been asserted or commenced against the Company. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation and other claims, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail in any such matters, which could subject the Company to significant liability for damages. Any claims or litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or business and financial condition in the period the claims or litigation are resolved. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business.

Note 15—Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity

Stock Repurchases

On June 14, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common stock (the “June 2023 Stock Repurchase Program”). As of December 31, 2023, the remaining amount available to be repurchased under the approved plan was $724.4 million.

The June 2023 Stock Repurchase Program does not have a time limit and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with the Company’s working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors.

In May 2022, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $600 million of its common stock. All purchases under this program were completed in the third quarter of 2023.

In December 2020, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that enabled the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock. The program was completed in the third quarter of 2022.

The following table summarizes the Company’s cumulative stock repurchase activity under the programs noted above (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

(1)Average price paid per share excludes broker commissions and excise tax.

All repurchases were made using cash on hand, and all repurchased shares of common stock have been retired.

Under the June 2023 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase shares of its common stock through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, or any combination thereof. In addition, open market repurchases of common stock could be made pursuant to trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions.

The 2018 capped call transactions matured on March 1, 2023, and in accordance with the settlement terms, the Company received 1,194,006 shares of the Company’s common stock from the counterparties to the capped call instruments. These shares were retired upon receipt. See “Note 13—Debt” for additional information. This receipt and subsequent retirement of shares was separate from the stock repurchase plans approved by the Board of Directors as described above.

Additionally, in June 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $180 million concurrently with the issuance of the 2021 Notes. See “Note 13—Debt” for more information. This repurchase was separate from the stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in December 2020.

Note 16—Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) was adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in March 2015. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, PBRSUs, and performance cash awards to employees and directors. Beginning in 2016, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan may be increased annually by an amount equal to the lesser of 7,050,000 shares of common stock,5% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors approved an increase of 0,6,252,714, and 6,351,106 shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan as of January 2, 2024, January 2, 2023, and January 3, 2022, respectively. Any awards issued under the 2015 Plan that are forfeited by the participant will become available for future grant under the 2015 Plan. At December 31, 2023,56,644,564 shares were authorized under the 2015 Plan and 37,275,895 shares were available for future grant.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted nonqualified stock options and RSUs, including Financial PBRSUs and TSR PBRSUs, to eligible participants under its 2015 Plan.

The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Options were granted for a term of 10 years, and vest over aone year requisite service period for board members and afour year requisite service period for employees. For RSUs, vesting is typically over afour-year requisite service period for employees and is contingent upon continued employment with the Company on each vesting date. In general, for newly-hired employees, RSUs vest 25% after the first year of service and ratably eachsix-month period over afour-year period following the vesting commencement date, which is the first day of the month following the date of grant. In general, for current employees who receive an additional grant, awards vest ratably eachsix-month period over afour-year period following the vesting commencement date.

For Financial PBRSUs, the number of RSUs received will depend on the achievement of financial metrics relative to the approved performance targets. Depending on the actual financial metrics achieved relative to the target financial metrics, throughout the defined performance period of the award, the number of PBRSUs that vest could range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, and are subject to the Compensation Committee’s approval of the level of achievement against the approved performance targets. For the TSR PBRSUs, the number of RSUs received will depend on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to that of the Nasdaq Composite Index over athree-year measurement period.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on the grant date. Additionally, the fair value of the Financial PBRSUs is determined using a probability assessment and the fair value of the TSR PBRSUs with market conditions is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. For PBRSUs, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the longest of the derived, explicit, or implicit service period. As of interim and annual reporting periods, the Financial PBRSUs stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on expected achievement of performance targets, while TSR PBRSUs stock-based compensation expense is not adjusted.

The fair value of options granted in the periods indicated using the Black-Scholes pricing model has been based on the following assumptions:

The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s options (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The following table summarizes the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted, intrinsic value of options exercised and fair value of awards vested in periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The total unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2023 related to the Company’s options was $5.3 million, which will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.16 years.

In connection with the acquisitions of Depop and Elo7 in July 2021, outstanding, unvested options held by continuing employees of each acquired entity as of the respective acquisition dates were replaced with Etsy RSU awards with the same aggregate fair value, with a total dollar value of $78.8 million, $5.6 million of which relates to pre-combination service and was included as a component of the purchase price. These RSUs generally follow the original vesting schedule of the replaced options, which provided that they will vest 25% on the first anniversary of their original vesting commencement date with the remaining 75% vesting ratably each month thereafter until the fourth anniversary of their original vesting commencement date.

The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s unvested RSUs, which includes Financial PBRSUs and TSR PBRSUs:

(1)Includes RSU awards issued to Depop and Elo7 employees in connection with the acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021.

The total unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2023 related to the Company’s unvested RSUs, including the Financial PBRSUs and TSR PBRSUs, was $596.0 million, which will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.57 years.

In connection with the acquisition of Depop, certain Depop executives were eligible to receive deferred consideration of $44.0 million in shares of Etsy common stock over thethree years following the acquisition date, subject to certain service-based vesting conditions during the vesting period. These awards were to be settled by issuing shares of Etsy common stock on or shortly following the applicable vesting date, with the number of shares to be determined based on the Company’s stock price on, or leading up to, the applicable vesting date. These awards were to be recognized as post-combination service stock-based compensation expense over a vesting period equal to the mandatory service period associated with the award, with a corresponding liability included within Other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets until the service-based vesting criteria are met and the awards are settled in shares of Etsy common stock. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s obligation related to this compensation is substantially complete.

Stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows (in thousands):

Note 17—Restructuring and Other Exit Costs

On December 12, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan designed to increase Etsy’s operational efficiencies, reduce operating costs, and better align Etsy’s workforce and cost structure with current business needs, top strategic priorities, and key growth opportunities (collectively, the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan includes an approximately 11% reduction of the Etsy marketplace workforce, which is approximately 225 employees.

Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2023 Reverb reduced its workforce by approximately 13% to gain operational efficiencies and enable critical growth investments into 2024 and beyond.

In connection with these workforce reductions, Etsy incurred $26.6 million in charges in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily consisting of severance and employee-related benefits. Etsy expects that the execution of the Restructuring Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 2024, with the majority of costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Total restructuring and other exit costs included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows (in thousands):

The following table is a summary of the changes in the Company’s severance and employee-related benefits associated with restructuring and other exit costs, included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):
