Cybersecurity and information security risks for global payments and technology companies like us have increased significantly in recent years. Although we have developed systems and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and other security incidents, and enable us to effectively respond to known and potential risks, and expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience cybersecurity incidents and remain subject to these risks. There can be no assurance that our security measures will provide sufficient protection or security to prevent breaches or attacks. For additional information regarding our cybersecurity and information security risks, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K, as supplemented and, to the extent inconsistent, superseded below (if applicable) in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

The Company intends to reinvest a significant portion of these savings back into its highest-priority growth initiatives. As part of this program, certain actions have been identified that are expected to be completed by the end of this year and which have the potential to generate approximately $400 million of run-rate gross savings, with a portion to be realized in the fourth quarter. The Company is still finalizing plans but this first phase of actions could result in a transformation related charge within the range of approximately $120 million to $140 million during the second half of 2026. The Company expects to provide additional details regarding the structure of the program and anticipated phasing of savings realization in future periods as the program is developed and implemented.

Previous wording
The decrease in net income was due to a decrease in operating income and a decrease in other income (expense), net, which was primarily attributable to net losses and impairments on strategic investments in the current period compared to net gains in the prior period, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense driven by a lower level of pre-tax income and tax effects of stock-based compensation.
Current wording
The decrease in net income was due to a decrease in operating income and a decrease in other income (expense), net, which was primarily attributable to net losses and impairments on strategic investments in the current period compared to net gains in the prior period, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense driven by a lower level of pre-tax income and U.S income taxed at different rates.
Previous wording

We have significant international operations that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the British pound, Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Indian rupee, subjecting us to foreign exchange risk which may adversely impact our financial results. The strengthening or weakening of the United States (“U.S.”) dollar versus foreign currencies in which we conduct our international operations impacts the translation of our net revenues and expenses generated in these foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar. We generated approximately 42% and 43% of our net revenues from customers domiciled outside of the U.S. in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Because we generate substantial net revenues internationally, we are subject to the risks of doing business outside of the U.S. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K, as supplemented and, to the extent inconsistent, superseded (if applicable) below in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

The increase in transaction revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of the prior year was driven primarily by an increase of approximately $410 million, $140 million, and $70 million in revenue from Braintree, PayPal, and Venmo products and services, respectively, which was largely driven by growth in TPV and number of payment transactions, partially offset by approximately $120 million of unfavorable impact from hedging activities resulting from losses in the current period compared to gains in the prior period.

Previous wording
The increase in revenues from other value added services for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was due primarily to an increase of approximately $90 million from revenue earned from a partner institution as well as approximately $40 million in interest and fee revenue earned from our loans receivable portfolios. Revenue from the partner institution is earned primarily through a revenue share arrangement based on the economic performance of the program related to our U.S. revolving consumer credit product and PayPal and Venmo branded credit cards, when such performance exceeds a minimum threshold. These factors favorably impacting revenues from other value added services were partially offset by lower revenues from interest earned on certain assets underlying customer account balances resulting from lower interest rates.

Previous wording
The increase in transaction expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the increase in TPV of 11% and a higher proportion of TPV from our Braintree products and services, which generally have higher expense rates than our other products and services.

Previous wording
The consumer loans and interest receivable balance as of both March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $5.4 billion, net of participation interest sold. The balance remained relatively consistent driven by growth in our revolving credit product portfolio in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) of approximately $270 million as well as an increase in our interest-bearing installment credit product portfolio in the U.S. of approximately $190 million, offset by the impact of the reclassification of our U.S. short-term, non-interest bearing installment loans to held for sale in the third quarter of 2025 and the associated forward flow arrangement.
Current wording
The consumer loans and interest receivable balance as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $5.5 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively, net of participation interest sold, representing a decrease of 6%. The decline in consumer loans and interest receivable outstanding was primarily driven by the impact of the reclassification of our U.S. short-term, non-interest bearing installment loans to held for sale in the third quarter of 2025 and the associated forward flow arrangement and a decline of approximately $200 million in our installment credit product portfolio in Japan, partially offset by growth in our revolving credit product portfolio in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and our interest-bearing installment credit product portfolio in the U.S. of approximately $200 million and $180 million, respectively.

Previous wording
In connection with this restructuring, we expect to incur employee severance and benefits costs of approximately $100 million, asset impairment and accelerated depreciation charges of approximately $40 million to $60 million, and other restructuring costs of approximately $110 million to $140 million over the term of the 2Q 2025 Plan. Other restructuring costs relate to process re-engineering and one-time migration to cloud solutions and consist of contractor costs, consulting fees, and prepaid software and maintenance costs without future economic benefit. We expect annualized cost savings of approximately $280 million associated with the impacted workforce and operational costs for our technology infrastructure. We expect that we will begin to realize these cost savings upon the completion of the components of the 2Q 2025 Plan, and also expect to reinvest a portion of the reduction in annual costs to drive business priorities. The timing of activities, cost, and savings estimates continue to be developed and are subject to change.
