The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of 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, 2026 or any other future interim periods.

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, 2025, or the 2025 Annual Report. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise discussed below.

As of March 31, 2026, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be required to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding warrants was 1 million.

  1. Loan Servicing Activities

Changes in the contingent liability for expected credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Beginning balance$46$29

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the non-contingent stand-ready liability was $19 million and $18 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $74 million and $71 million, respectively, were classified as restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, representing cash held with commercial lending institutions. The restrictions are related to cash held as collateral pursuant to an agreement with the originating third-party bank for the working capital loans serviced by Toast Capital.

  1. Loans Held for Investment

The Company purchases loans from its bank partner that are not delinquent at acquisition and for which the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, until maturity or payoff. These loans are classified as held for investment and are included in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. They are carried at amortized cost, net of an allowance for expected credit losses, which reflects estimated lifetime losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company recognizes income, including the effect of any premium or discount, over the life of these loans using the effective interest method.

As of March 31, 2026, loans held for investment, net, were $22 million, with an immaterial allowance for expected credit losses and interest income, compared to $0 million of loans held for investment as of December 31, 2025.

The Company analyzes loans held for investment based on the aging of unpaid principal. This is the credit quality indicator used to evaluate the allowance for expected credit losses on loans held for investment. As of March 31, 2026, loans held for investment are loans up to 90 days from origination, and primarily within 60 days.

Outstanding as of March 31, 202621$13.85
Options vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 202620$13.325.4$283

(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 2026, 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 $35 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the options was $62 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3.2 years.

As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs was $386 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of 3.1 years.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2024, the Company announced the authorization of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million. On February 10, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase of $500 million to the previously authorized share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares of Class A common stock. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock, and may be suspended at any time at the Company’s 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, 2026, the Company repurchased $327 million of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $259 million remained authorized for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company computes the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date operating income before income taxes, and adjusts for discrete items in the period in which they occur.

The income tax expense was $5 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for each period differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. net deferred tax assets, U.S. state income taxes, and foreign rate differential on profitable foreign jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets as the amounts were not more-likely-than-not realizable. This determination is based on management’s evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence, such as sustainability of recent profits and forecasts of future taxable income; a portion or all of the valuation allowance could be released in the next 12 months, the timing and amount of any such release remain uncertain.

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. The Company analyzes the potential dilutive effect of stock options, unvested restricted stock, RSUs, the employee stock purchase plan, and warrants to purchase common stock, during periods the Company generates 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 the Company’s net income and participate equally in the dividends on common stock, if declared. The Company allocates net income attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on aone-to-one basis when computing earnings per share. As a result, basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent.

The following table sets forth the calculation of earnings per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Numerator:
Net income, basic$126$56
Less: Gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities83
Net income, diluted$118$53

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted602603
Earnings per share, basic$0.21$0.10
Earnings per share, diluted$0.20$0.09

(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a remeasurement gain of $8 million and $3 million of the Company’s warrant liability, respectively, which was added back to net income to adjust for the dilutive impact of the warrants. The Company adjusted the weighted-average shares outstanding for the incremental dilutive shares using the treasury stock method.

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