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 income (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, 2025 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, 2024, or the 2024 Annual Report. As of September 30, 2025, 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 geopolitical events, changes in trade policy, including trade wars, tariffs, sanctions, or the threat of such actions, natural disasters, public health concerns or epidemics, and macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in inflation and interest rates, 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 liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Estimates, judgments, and assumptions in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, fair values and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, fair value measurements of warrants, the allowance for credit losses, liabilities associated with financial guarantees related to loan purchase activities, incremental borrowing rates applied in valuation of lease liabilities, accounting for income taxes, as well as the amortization period for deferred contract acquisition costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhancement and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not expect its adoption to have a material impact.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Stock Options

The following is a summary of stock option activity under our stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Number ofShares (in millions)Weighted-AverageExercisePrice (per share)Weighted-AverageRemainingContractualTerm (in years)AggregateIntrinsicValue (in millions)(1)

Options vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 202521$11.255.4$520

(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 September 2025, 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 value of options exercised was $124 million and$260 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the options was $49 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 2.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes restricted stock units, or RSUs, activity during thenine months ended September 30, 2025:

As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs was $321 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 2.7 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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased $23 million and $54 million, respectively, in Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $140 million remained authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program.

Shares Reserved for Charitable Donations

In recognition of our values and commitment to local communities, we joined the Pledge 1% movement to fund our social impact initiatives through Toast.org, our social impact arm. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our Board approved reserving 5 million shares of Class A common stock that we may, but are not obligated to, issue over a certain period to fund the Company’s social impact initiatives through Toast.org. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized stock-based charitable contribution expenses of $6 million for the fair value of the donated shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized stock-based charitable contribution expenses of $5 million for the fair value of the donated shares. Such expenses were recorded within general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

  1. Restructuring Activities

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 $0 million and $46 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily consisting of cash severance costs and the acceleration of stock-based compensation for certain terminated employees. As of September 30, 2025, we have completed the Restructuring Plan.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $0 million and $8 million, respectively, of one-time restructuring costs to continue focusing on operational efficiency, primarily consisting of cash severance costs and the acceleration of stock-based compensation for certain terminated employees. These charges were recorded within restructuring expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, we substantially completed this restructuring activity with immaterial remaining liabilities.

  1. Income Taxes

We compute our provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations, and record the impact of discrete items in the period in which they occur.

Our effective income tax rate was (0.9)% and 1.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 1.8% and (23.3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 net deferred tax assets.

The income tax (benefit) expense was ($1) million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and$4 million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the provision is primarily driven by the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, partially offset by excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation.

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, or “OBBBA”, was signed into law, which represents the enactment date under U.S. GAAP. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, updates to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) rules, amendments to energy credits, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements.

In accordance with ASC 740, the effects of the new tax legislation are recognized in the period of enactment. Management has evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA, recalculated temporary differences, reassessed valuation allowances, and considered any necessary adjustments. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the effects of the OBBBA are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Management will continue to monitor forthcoming guidance, interpretations, and technical clarifications to assess whether any future adjustments or additional disclosures may be required.

  1. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. We analyze the potential dilutive effect of stock options, unvested restricted stock, RSUs, our employee stock purchase plan, 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.

Class A common stock and Class B common stock share proportionately, on a per share basis, in our net income (losses) and participate equally in the dividends on common stock, if declared. We allocate net income (losses) attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on aone-to-one basis when computing net income (loss) per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent.

The following table sets forth the calculation of net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders (in millions, except per share amounts):

Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,

Net income (loss) per share, basic$0.18$0.10$0.42$(0.02)
Net income (loss) per share, diluted$0.16$0.07$0.39$(0.02)

(1)During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a remeasurement gain of $7 million and $2 million, respectively, of our warrant liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a remeasurement gain of $2 million on the warrant liability immediately prior to the repurchase of a warrant to purchase 5 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $61 million (the “Warrant Repurchase”) on July 3, 2024 and a gain on the extinguishment of the warrant liabilities upon the Warrant Repurchase of $14 million. For purposes of computing diluted income (loss) per share, these gains were excluded from our net income (loss) and the corresponding weighted-average shares were also adjusted accordingly.

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

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Unvested restricted stock units—1—25
Warrants to purchase common stock(2)—2—2
26159

(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a loss on fair value remeasurement of our remaining warrants outstanding after the Warrant Repurchase. These warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive impact. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a loss on fair value remeasurement of our warrant liability and the warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

  1. Segment Information

We haveone reportable segment, Toast, Inc., consisting of a comprehensive platform of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products, financial technology solutions, including integrated payment processing, restaurant-grade hardware, and a broad ecosystem of third-party partners. We manage the business activities on a consolidated basis. The types of software and services from which we generate revenue are described under our “Revenue Recognition” policy within our “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as consolidated net income (loss). The

CODM does not use any segment asset measures to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources.

The following table sets out our measure of profit or loss and significant segment expenses (in millions):

(1) These expenses exclude stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes. Stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes are presented separately as an additional significant segment expense, which consist of both stock-based compensation (refer to Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity” for tabular disclosure of amounts included within other significant segment expenses) and the corresponding payroll taxes.

(2) Other segment items include restructuring and restructuring-related expenses, interest income, net, change in fair value of warrant liability, and income tax (expense) benefit.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2025, our non-cancellable purchase obligations to hardware suppliers totaled $90 million, all of which is due within the next 12 months.

As of September 30, 2025, our non-cancellable contractual commitments with our cloud service providers and other vendors totaled $136 million of which $64 million is due within the next 12 months and $72 million thereafter.

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.
