Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Toast, Inc. (“we,” or “the Company”), is a cloud-based all-in-one digital technology platform purpose-built for the entire restaurant community. We provide a comprehensive platform of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products and financial technology solutions, including integrated payment processing, restaurant-grade hardware, and a broad ecosystem of third-party partners. We serve as the restaurant operating system, connecting front of house and back of house operations across service models including dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering, and retail.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’equity, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other future interim periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or the 2023 Annual Report. As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise discussed below.

Risks and Uncertainties

We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including global events and macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and its potential impact on consumer spending, rising interest rates, global supply chain issues, and any public health concerns, which may also impact consumer behavior, the restaurant industry, and our business.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Stock Options

The following is a summary of stock option activity under our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

(in millions, except per share amounts)Number ofShares (in millions)Weighted-AverageExercisePrice (per share)Weighted-AverageRemainingContractualTerm (in Years)AggregateIntrinsicValue (in millions) (1)
Outstanding as of December 31, 202348$7.07

Outstanding as of March 31, 202443$8.13
Options vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 202441$7.846.1$706

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value was determined as the difference between the closing price of the Class A common stock on the last trading day of March 2024, or the date of exercise, as appropriate, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options at period end.

The aggregate intrinsic values of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $102 million.

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to option awards was $89 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 2.7 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes restricted stock units, or RSU, activity during thethree months ended March 31, 2024:

RSU(in millions)Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)

The fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $57 million.

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs was $500 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 2.9 years.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2024, we announced the authorization of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares in our Class A common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased may depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased $4 million in Class A common stock. At March 31, 2024, approximately $246 million remained authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program.

  1. Restructuring Plan

In February 2024, we announced a restructuring plan, or the Restructuring Plan, designed to promote overall operating expense efficiency, including a reduction in force and certain other actions to reorganize our facilities and operations. In connection with this Restructuring Plan, we incurred restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $41 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, recorded within restructuring expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily consisting of cash severance costs and the acceleration of stock-based compensation for certain terminated employees. As of March 31, 2024, accrued restructuring expenses were immaterial. We expect total costs of approximately $45 to $50 million to be incurred in connection with this Restructuring Plan and for the costs to be fully captured by the end of fiscal year 2024.

  1. Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was (1.4)% and (0.2)% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for each period differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of having a full valuation allowance maintained against our deferred tax assets, along with the release of a portion of our valuation allowance in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of an acquisition.

The income tax expense was $1 million and $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the provision is primarily driven by changes in the provision recorded on the earnings of our non-US subsidiaries and a non-recurring benefit recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the acquisition of Delphi of $1 million.

  1. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. We analyze the potential dilutive effect of stock options, unvested restricted stock, RSUs, our ESPP, and warrants to purchase common stock, during periods we generate net income, or when income is recognized related to changes in fair value of warrant liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a loss on fair value remeasurement of our warrant liability, which was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to its anti-dilutive effect.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on fair value remeasurement of warrant liabilities, which was added back to net loss to adjust for the dilutive impact of the warrants. We adjusted the weighted-average shares outstanding for the incremental dilutive shares using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions, except per share amounts):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20242023
Numerator:

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding—diluted547525
Net loss per share, basic$(0.15)$(0.15)
Net loss per share, diluted$(0.15)$(0.16)

We excluded the following potential shares of common stock from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Three Months Ended March 31,

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably. We establish accruals for losses that management deems to be probable and subject to reasonable estimates. We do not expect any claims with a reasonably possible adverse outcome to have a material impact on us, and, accordingly, have not accrued for any material claims.
