2 A reconciliation of adjusted operating loss to the comparable GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future.





Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV")
The Company measures gross merchandise volume to assess the volume of transactions that take place on its platform. The Company defines GMV as the total dollar amount of all transactions on the Affirm platform during the applicable period, net of refunds. GMV does not represent revenue earned by Affirm. However, the GMV processed through its platform is an indicator of the success of its merchants and the strength of its platform.
Transaction Costs
The Company defines transaction costs as the sum of loss on loan purchase commitment, provision for credit losses, funding costs, and processing and servicing expense.
Revenue Less Transaction Costs
The Company defines revenue less transaction costs as its GAAP total revenue less transaction costs as defined above.
Adjusted Operating Loss
The Company defines adjusted operating loss as its GAAP operating loss, excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization; (b) stock-based compensation included in GAAP operating loss; (c) the amortization of its commercial agreement asset; and (d) certain other non-recurring items.
Adjusted Operating Margin
The Company defines adjusted operating margin as its adjusted operating loss, as defined above, as a percentage of its GAAP total revenue.
Active Consumers
The Company assesses consumer adoption and engagement by the number of active consumers across its platform. Active consumers are the primary measure of the size of its network. The Company defines an active consumer as a consumer who engages in at least one transaction on its platform during the 12 months prior to the measurement date.
Transactions per Active Consumer
The Company believes the value of its network is amplified with greater consumer engagement and repeat usage, highlighted by increased transactions per active consumer. Transactions per active consumer is defined as the average number of transactions that an active consumer has conducted on its platform during the 12 months prior to the measurement date.
Total Platform Portfolio
The Company defines total platform portfolio as the unpaid principal balance outstanding of all loans facilitated through its platform as of the balance sheet date, including both those loans held for investment and those loans owned by third-parties.
Equity Capital Required
The Company defines equity capital required as the sum of the balance of loans held for investment and loans held for sale, less the balance of funding debt and notes issued by securitization trusts as of the balance sheet date.








Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company presents the following non-GAAP financial measures: Transaction costs, transaction costs as a percentage of GMV, revenue less transaction costs, revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV, adjusted operating loss, adjusted operating margin, equity capital required, and equity capital required as a percentage of total platform portfolio. Definitions of each of these non-GAAP financial measures are included above, and reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in the tables below.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, as a measure of its operating results and the effectiveness of its business strategy, and in evaluating its financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are as follows:

Revenue less transaction costs and revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV are not intended to be a measure of operating profit or loss as they exclude key operating expenses such as technology and data analytics, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses;

Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, although the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense and an important part of its compensation strategy; and

Other companies, including companies in the same industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently from how the Company calculates them or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Accordingly, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
