Current report

Professional services expenses decreased by $1.1 million or 19%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 due to professional fees incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that did not reoccur during the same period in 2026.

•Powered By Marqeta: With Powered By Marqeta (“PxM”), Marqeta also provides customers access to the Marqeta dashboard via our APIs, provides payment processing, and assists with certain configuration elements that enable the customer to use the platform independently. Generally, our PxM customers are responsible for other elements of the card program, including defining and managing the program with the Card Networks and Issuing Bank as well as managing compliance with applicable regulations, the Issuing Bank, and Card Network rules.

Previous report

Given the modularity of the Marqeta platform, certain customers can also opt to incorporate some elements of MxM into their card program to create a custom solution. Many customers adopt some combination of the MxM managed services even when not adopting the full MxM offering.

Previous report

Prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recognized network incentives in the period when cumulative transaction volume thresholds were met, due to insufficient data to reliably estimate the amount of incentives Card Networks would ultimately earn over the respective annual period. This approach resulted in fluctuations in Card Network incentives, particularly when thresholds were reached, as higher incentive rates were applied retroactively to the entire measurement period. Historically, we have earned the highest incentive rates in the first quarter of our fiscal year, when annual measurement periods are nearing completion and higher cumulative transaction volume thresholds are achieved. Conversely, the second quarter generally reflected the lowest incentive rates, as the annual measurement periods and cumulative transaction volume thresholds reset to lower levels.

Previous report

Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award consists of share-based compensation related to the Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award, including the impact of forfeiture. The Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award was forfeited in the prior year as a result of the Company’s Executive Chairman transitioning to a non-employee director role on the Board of Directors.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1, the “Tax Act”) was signed into law, reinstating certain provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) and immediate expensing of U.S.-based research costs under Section 174. We are currently evaluating the impact of these tax law changes on our financial condition and results of operations. Due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, we do not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on our overall tax expense or effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Previous report

Previous report

Share-based compensation decreased by $10.0 million, or 28%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to higher year-over-year forfeitures of stock based awards and the full vesting of older stock option awards exceeding the expense associated with newer restricted stock unit awards. No new stock options have been granted in recent years.

Previous report

Previous report

Other operating expenses increased by $4.5 million, or 110%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to $4.3 million of legal contingency expense recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2025 associated with the securities class action lawsuit.

Previous report

Salaries, bonus, benefits, and payroll taxes decreased by $22.2 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

These savings were partially offset a year-over-year increase in bonus expense and expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to one-time retention bonuses given to certain key employees following the departure of our former CEO in the first quarter of 2025, which were not incurred in the same period in 2024.

On May 6, 2024, the our Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program for our Class A common stock (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program"), following the exhaustion of the $200 million 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Repurchases under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program were made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans of the Exchange Act.

On February 3, 2023, we acquired all outstanding stock of Power Finance Inc. (“Power Finance”).

As of September 30, 2025, $2.1 million of the postcombination cash compensation arrangements remained outstanding.

Previous report

Except for (i) the revised accounting policy for estimating Card Network incentives and (ii) the new accounting policies associated with restricted cash and funds payable and amounts due to customers, as detailed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements, no other changes have been made to our accounting policies. The new policies for restricted cash and funds payable and amounts due to customers, which were adopted in connection with TransactPay acquisition, specifically address the classification and presentation of customer funds held in segregated accounts as part of TransactPay’s program management activities related to card and e-money wallet programs.

Effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we revised our accounting policy for estimating and recognizing network incentives. We now estimate and recognize network incentives based on the cumulative incentive rate we expect to earn over the annual measurement period. We estimate the cumulative incentive rates based on our forecasts for the annual measurement periods, which incorporates both historical experience and our expectations of future events, in addition to other qualitative considerations. The estimated cumulative incentive rates are applied to the volume and/or number of transactions processed during the reporting period to calculate the quarterly network incentives recognized. As a result of this policy revision, the Card Network incentives recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.3 million lower compared to the amount that would have been recognized under the previous policy. The cumulative impact of the revised policy on Card Network incentives recognized from April 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025 was $5.5 million higher than the amount that would have been recognized under the previous policy.

Previous wording

Salaries, bonus, benefits, and payroll taxes decreased by $6.1 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower post-combination compensation expenses for former Power Finance employees and an increase in capitalized salaries, bonus, and benefits costs related to internal-use software development in 2025. These savings were partially offset a year-over-year increase in bonus expense and expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 related to one-time retention bonuses given to certain key employees following the departure of our former CEO in the first quarter of 2025, which were not incurred in the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Salaries, bonus, benefits, and payroll taxes decreased by $2.1 million, or 4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower post-combination compensation expenses for former Power Finance employees, an increase in capitalized salaries, bonus, and benefits costs related to internal-use software development in 2026, and lower year-over-year severance and one-time retention bonuses awarded to certain key employees. These were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in salaries, bonus, and contractor expenses as a result of an increase in headcount during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Previous wording

Technology expenses increased by $3.7 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly driven by higher licensing and hosting costs to support system and tool implementations amid ongoing business growth.

Current wording

Technology expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 22%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was mainly driven by higher software licenses and hosting costs to support system and tool implementations amid ongoing business growth.

Previous wording

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.6 million, or 58%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.5 million, or 66%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher amortization of internally developed software as additional projects were capitalized and placed into service, as well as amortization of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired from TransactPay in the third quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

Previous wording

Other income, net decreased by $6.5 million, or 47%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower interest income from our short-term investment portfolio and cash balances, as average balances were lower due to share repurchases completed in 2025. We also realized lower average yields during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Other income, net decreased by $4.6 million, or 44%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower interest income from our short-term investment portfolio and cash balances, as average balances were lower due to share repurchases completed in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. We also realized lower average yields during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.9 million gain from the remeasurement of the Digital Products Earn-out liability related to the TransactPay acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

As of September 30, 2025, our primary sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $830.5 million, held primarily for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments were comprised primarily of bank deposits, money market funds, U.S. treasury bills, U.S. treasury securities, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and corporate debt securities.
