NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OVERVIEW AND ORGANIZATION

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“PayPal,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware in January 2015. At PayPal, our mission is to revolutionize commerce globally. Our products are designed to enable digital payments and simplify commerce experiences for consumers and merchants to make selling, shopping, and sending and receiving money simple, personalized, and secure, whether online or in-person. Our two-sided platform serves millions of consumers and merchants worldwide.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of PayPal and our wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We determine at the inception of each investment, and re-evaluate if certain events occur, whether an entity in which we have made an investment is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If we determine an investment is in a VIE, we then assess if we are the primary beneficiary, which would require consolidation. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no VIEs qualified for consolidation as the structures of these entities do not provide us with both the ability to direct activities that would significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our investments in nonconsolidated VIEs that are primarily investments in funds that are limited partnerships or similar structures which are focused on increasing access to capital for underserved communities was $202 million, and is included as non-marketable equity securities applying the equity method of accounting in long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these nonconsolidated VIEs, which represents funded commitments and any future funding commitments, was $246 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2026.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements for all interim periods presented. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to provisions for transaction and credit losses, income taxes, loss contingencies, revenue recognition, and the evaluation of strategic investments for impairment. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Recently issued accounting guidance

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amended guidance requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified natural expense categories in the disclosures within the notes to the financial statements. In addition, the guidance requires disclosure of selling expenses and its definition. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amended guidance modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software to more closely align with current software development methods. The guidance removes references to project stages and clarifies when we are required to start capitalizing eligible costs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable. We do not believe any of these new accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 2—REVENUE

We enable our customers to send and receive payments. We earn revenue primarily by completing payment transactions for our customers on our payments platform and from other value added services. Our revenues are classified into two categories: transaction revenues and revenues from other value added services.

We record a contract asset when we have a conditional right to consideration for services we have already transferred to our customer. These contract assets are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were $231 million and $238 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

We believe that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows and how they are affected by economic factors are most appropriately depicted through our primary geographical markets and types of revenue categories (transaction revenues and revenues from other value added services). Revenues recorded within these categories are earned from similar products and services for which the nature of associated fees and the related revenue recognition models are substantially similar.

The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by primary geographical market and category:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Revenue category
Transaction revenues	$	7,501	$	7,016
Revenues from other value added services	852		775
Total net revenues(2)	$	8,353	$	7,791

(1) No single country included in the other countries category generated more than 10% of total net revenues.

(2) Total net revenues include $473 million and $573 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which do not represent revenues recognized in the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. Such revenues relate to interest and fees earned on loans and interest receivable, including loans and interest receivable held for sale, hedging gains or losses, and interest earned and gains or losses on certain assets underlying customer balances.

Net revenues are attributed to the country in which the party paying our fee is located.

NOTE 3—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive common shares. During periods when we report net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive items would decrease the net loss per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

NOTE 6—LEASES

PayPal enters into various leases, which are primarily real estate operating leases. We use these properties for executive and administrative offices, customer services and operations centers, product development offices, and data centers. PayPal also enters into computer equipment finance leases.

While a majority of our lease agreements do not contain an explicit interest rate, certain of our lease agreements are subject to changes based on the Consumer Price Index or another referenced index. In the event of changes to the relevant index, lease liabilities are not remeasured and are instead treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The short-term lease exemption has been adopted for all leases with a duration of less than 12 months.

PayPal’s lease portfolio includes a small number of subleases. A sublease situation can arise when currently leased real estate space is available and is surplus to operational requirements.

The components of lease expense were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

The amounts presented are consistent with contractual terms and are not expected to differ significantly from actual results under our existing leases.

As of March 31, 2026, we have an additional operating lease for an office, which will commence in the second quarter of 2026 or later with minimum lease payments aggregating to $284 million and a lease term of twelve years. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any additional finance leases which have not yet commenced.

Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income as we neither intend to sell, nor anticipate that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value was due primarily to changes in market interest rates, rather than credit losses. We will continue to monitor the performance of the investment portfolio and assess whether impairment due to expected credit losses has occurred.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS

Our strategic investments include marketable equity securities, which are publicly traded, and non-marketable equity securities, which are primarily investments in privately held companies. Our marketable equity securities have readily determinable fair values and are recorded as long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Marketable equity securities totaled $106 million and $180 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we held marketable equity securities with a fair value of $94 million with a time-based contractual sale restriction, which is set to expire in May 2026.

Our non-marketable equity securities are recorded as long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities totaled $1.7 billion as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had non-marketable equity securities of $215 million for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. We account for these equity securities using the equity method of accounting. The remaining non-marketable equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value and we measure these equity investments at cost minus impairment, if any, and adjust for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer (the “Measurement Alternative”). All gains and losses on these investments, realized and unrealized, and our share of earnings or losses from investments accounted for using the equity method are recognized in other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Measurement Alternative adjustments

The adjustments to the carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the Measurement Alternative in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any assets or liabilities requiring measurement at fair value on a recurring basis with significant unobservable inputs that would require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (Level 3).

We elect to account for available-for-sale debt securities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries under the fair value option. Election of the fair value option allows us to recognize any gains and losses from fair value changes on such investments in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) to significantly reduce the accounting asymmetry that would otherwise arise when recognizing the corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses relating to customer liabilities. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value and amortized cost of our available-for-sale debt securities under the fair value option as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

We measure loans and interest receivable, held for sale that are comparable to loans receivable sold to third-party investors using observable inputs, such as the most recent executed prices. These loans and interest receivable, held for sale are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Certain loans and interest receivable, held for sale are valued using significant unobservable inputs, such as adjustments to recently executed prices. These loans and interest receivable, held for sale are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to “Note 11—Loans and Interest Receivable” for additional information on loans and interest receivable, held for sale.

We measure the non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the Measurement Alternative at cost minus impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. Non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured during the period based on observable price changes are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the fair value based on valuation methods which only include significant inputs that are observable, such as the observable transaction price at the transaction date. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities are classified within Level 3 when we estimate fair value using significant unobservable inputs, such as when we remeasure due to impairment and use discount rates, forecasted cash flows, and market data of comparable companies, among others.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AND RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE

Our financial instruments, including cash, PayPal USD stablecoin (“PYUSD”), time deposits, certain loans and interest receivable, held for sale, loans and interest receivable, net, notes receivable, commercial paper, and debt related to borrowings on our credit facilities are carried at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. Our term debt (including current portion) had a carrying value of approximately $10.8 billion and fair value of approximately $10.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Our term debt (including current portion) had a carrying value of approximately $10.8 billion and fair value of approximately $10.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. If these financial instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, cash and PYUSD would be classified as Level 1; time deposits, certain loans and interest receivable, held for sale, commercial paper, and term debt (including current portion) would be classified as Level 2; and the remaining financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 10—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

SUMMARY OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that our counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to, and by spreading the risk across, major financial institutions and by entering into collateral security arrangements. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. We do not use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cash flow hedges

We have significant international revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, which subjects us to foreign exchange risk. We have a foreign currency exposure management program in which we designate certain foreign exchange contracts, generally with maturities of 12 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in certain foreign currencies. The objective of these foreign exchange contracts is to help mitigate the risk that the U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows are adversely affected by changes in the applicable U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified into revenue or the applicable expense line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. We evaluate the effectiveness of our foreign exchange contracts on a quarterly basis by comparing the critical terms of the derivative instruments with the critical terms of the forecasted cash flows of the hedged item; if the critical terms are the same, we conclude the hedge will be perfectly effective. We do not exclude any component of the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. We report cash flows arising from derivative instruments consistent with the classification of cash flows from the underlying items that these derivatives are hedging. Accordingly, the cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are classified in cash flows from operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

As of March 31, 2026, we estimated that $82 million of net derivative gains related to our cash flow hedges included in AOCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not discontinue any cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur and as such, did not reclassify any gains or losses to earnings prior to the occurrence of the hedged transaction. If we elect to discontinue our cash flow hedges and it is probable that the original forecasted transaction will occur, we will continue to report the derivative’s gain or loss in AOCI until the forecasted transaction affects earnings, at which point we will also reclassify it into earnings. Gains and losses on derivatives held after we discontinue our cash flow hedges and on derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the same financial statement line to which the derivative relates.

Net investment hedges

Prior to 2025, we used foreign exchange contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk related to our investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. These derivatives were designated as net investment hedges and accordingly, the gains and losses on the portion of the derivatives included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness were recorded in AOCI as part of foreign currency translation. We excluded forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recognized them in other income (expense), net on a straight-line basis over the life of the hedge. The accumulated gains and losses associated with these instruments will remain in AOCI until the foreign subsidiaries are sold or substantially liquidated, at which point they will be reclassified into earnings. The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as a net investment hedge are classified in cash flows from investing activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We have not reclassified any gains or losses related to net investment hedges from AOCI into earnings for any of the periods presented.

Foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments

We have a foreign currency exposure management program in which we use foreign exchange contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our assets and liabilities. The gains and losses due to remeasurement of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in other income (expense), net, which are offset by the gains and losses on these foreign exchange contracts. The cash flows associated with our non-designated derivatives used to hedge foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are classified in cash flows from operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS - RIGHTS OF SET-OFF

Under master netting agreements with certain counterparties to our derivative contracts, repurchase agreements, and reverse repurchase agreements, subject to applicable requirements, we are allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. PayPal has not elected to offset for balance sheet presentation and we present the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We have entered into collateral security arrangements with certain counterparties that provide for collateral to be received or posted when the net fair value of certain financial instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. Receivables related to cash collateral posted and payables related to cash collateral received are recognized in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities not offset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets but available for offset in the event of default. The tables also present the cash and non-cash collateral received or pledged relating to these positions. The amount of collateral presented is limited to the amount presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheets; therefore, instances of over-collateralization are excluded from the table below.

Consumer receivables

We offer revolving and installment credit products as a funding option for consumers in certain checkout transactions on our payments platform. Our revolving credit product consists of PayPal Credit in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), which is made available to consumers as a funding source in their PayPal wallet once they are approved for credit. Additionally, we offer installment credit products at the time of checkout in various markets, including the U.S., several markets across Europe, Australia, and Japan. We offer non interest-bearing installment credit products in these markets as well as interest-bearing installment credit products in the U.S. and Germany, among other markets. We purchase receivables related to interest-bearing installment loans extended to U.S. consumers by an independent chartered financial institution (“partner institution”) and are responsible for the servicing functions related to that portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we purchased approximately $369 million and $277 million in consumer receivables, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of consumer receivables, which consisted of revolving and installment loans and interest receivable, was $5.4 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, net of the participation interest sold to the partner institution of $33 million for both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The effective interest rates for the notes include interest on the notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, and amortization of the debt discount. The interest expense recorded for the notes, including amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $106 million and $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

CREDIT FACILITIES

Paidy credit agreement

In February 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Paidy Credit Agreement”) with Paidy as co-borrower, which provided for an unsecured revolving credit facility of ¥60.0 billion, which was modified in September 2022 to increase the borrowing capacity by ¥30.0 billion for a total borrowing capacity of ¥90.0 billion (approximately $563 million as of March 31, 2026). The Paidy Credit Agreement will terminate and all amounts owed thereunder will be due and payable in February 2027, unless the commitments are terminated earlier. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, ¥90.0 billion (approximately $563 million) and ¥90.0 billion (approximately $575 million) was drawn down under the Paidy Credit Agreement, respectively, which was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and long-term debt, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowing was 1.42% as of March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, no borrowing capacity was available for the purposes permitted by the Paidy Credit Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the total interest expense and fees we recorded related to the Paidy Credit Agreement were de minimis.

COMMERCIAL PAPER

There was $200 million outstanding in Commercial Paper Notes as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average interest rate on the commercial paper borrowings was 3.99% and 4.07% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The maturities of the Commercial Paper Notes may vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance.

Other than as provided above, there were no significant changes to the information disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Overview

We are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings on an ongoing basis. Certain of these proceedings are in early stages and may seek an indeterminate amount of damages or penalties or may require us to change or adopt certain business practices. If we believe that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated liability in our financial statements at that time. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For those proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable, (i) we have disclosed an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses or (ii) we have concluded that our estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising directly from the proceeding (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) is not material. If we cannot estimate the probable or reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising from a legal proceeding, we have disclosed that fact. In assessing the materiality of a legal proceeding, we evaluate, among other factors, the amount of monetary damages claimed, as well as the potential impact of non-monetary remedies sought by plaintiffs (e.g., injunctive relief) that may require us to change our business practices in a manner that could have a material adverse impact on our business. With respect to the matters disclosed in this Note 13, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of such non-monetary remedies.

(Unaudited)

Amounts accrued for legal and regulatory proceedings for which we believe a loss is probable and reasonably estimable were not material as of March 31, 2026. Except as otherwise noted for the proceedings described in this Note 13, we have concluded, based on currently available information, that reasonably possible losses arising directly from the proceedings (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) in excess of our recorded accruals are also not material. Determining legal reserves or possible losses from such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. We may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. If any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regulatory proceedings

In February 2022, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) related to PayPal’s practices relating to commercial customers that submit charges on behalf of other merchants or sellers, and related activities. In August 2025, we received an additional CID investigating whether deceptive schemes and other unlawful activities by merchants using PayPal’s platform were facilitated or furthered by the Company’s onboarding, due diligence, and other practices. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to written questions, as well as other information. We are cooperating with the FTC in connection with these CIDs.

In January 2023, we received notice of an administrative proceeding and a related request for information from the German Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”) related to terms in PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.’s contractual terms with merchants in Germany prohibiting surcharging and requiring parity presentation of PayPal relative to other payment methods. We are cooperating with the FCO in connection with this proceeding.

We have received CIDs from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) related to investigation and error-resolution obligations under Regulation E, the presentment of transactions to linked bank accounts, and related matters. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to written questions. We are cooperating with the CFPB in connection with these CIDs.

In August 2024, we received a CID from the CFPB related to PayPal Credit. The CID also relates to backup payment options in a digital wallet to pay for goods or services. The CID requests the production of documents and answers to written questions. We are cooperating with the CFPB in connection with this CID.

In March 2026, we received notices of investigations and related requests for information from the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) under the Competition Act 1998 regarding certain provisions in PayPal’s contractual agreements with Visa and Mastercard relating to funding and use of the PayPal digital wallet. We are cooperating with the FCA in connection with these investigations.

Legal proceedings

On October 4, 2022, a putative securities class action captioned Defined Benefit Plan of the Mid-Jersey Trucking Industry and Teamsters Local 701 Pension and Annuity Fund v. PayPal Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 22-cv-5864, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. On January 11, 2023, the Court appointed Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec as lead plaintiff and renamed the action In re PayPal Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation (“PPH Securities Action”). On March 13, 2023, the lead plaintiff filed an amended and consolidated complaint. The PPH Securities Action asserts claims relating to our public statements with respect to net new active accounts (“NNA”) results and guidance, and the detection of illegitimately created accounts. The PPH Securities Action purports to be brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s stock between February 3, 2021 and February 1, 2022 (the “Class Period”), and asserts claims for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act against the Company, as well as its former Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Strategy, Growth and Data Officer, and former Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Individual Defendants,” and together with the Company, “Defendants”), and for alleged violations of Sections 20(a) and 20A of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaint alleges that certain public statements made by Defendants during the Class Period were rendered materially false and misleading (which, allegedly, caused the Company’s stock to trade at artificially inflated prices) by the Defendants’ failure to disclose that, among other things, the Company’s incentive campaigns were susceptible to fraud and led to the creation of illegitimate accounts, which allegedly affected the Company’s NNA results and guidance. The PPH Securities Action seeks unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the putative class members. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the PPH Securities Action. On January 29, 2025, the Court dismissed all of the claims without prejudice. On March 17, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On March 31, 2026, the Court dismissed all of the claims with prejudice. On April 30, 2026, the plaintiffs filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

On November 2, 2022, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Shah v. Daniel Schulman, et al., Case No. 22-cv-1445, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Shah Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company. On April 4, 2023, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Nelson v. Daniel Schulman, et. al., Case No. 23-cv-01913, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Nelson Action”) purportedly on behalf of the Company. On January 31, 2025, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Spathias v. Daniel Schulman, et al., Case No. 25-cv-1007, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Spathias Action,” and collectively, the “Derivative Actions”). The Derivative Actions are based on the same alleged facts and circumstances as the PPH Securities Action, and name certain of our officers, including our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, and members of our Board of Directors, as defendants. The Derivative Actions allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement and violations of the Exchange Act, and seek to recover damages on behalf of the Company. The Derivative Actions have been stayed pending further developments in the PPH Securities Action.

On February 17, 2026, a putative securities class action captioned Goodman v. PayPal Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-01381-NW, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Goodman Securities Action”). On March 5, 2026, before the Company entered an appearance, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. On March 31, 2026, the court closed the matter.

On February 24, 2026, a putative securities class action captioned Darcy v. PayPal Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:26-cv-01589-JSC, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Darcy Securities Action”). The Darcy Securities Action purports to be brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s stock between February 25, 2025 and February 2, 2026 (the “Darcy Class Period”), and asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. The complaint alleges that certain public statements made by the Company during the Darcy Class Period were rendered materially false and misleading (which, allegedly, caused the Company’s stock to trade at artificially inflated prices) by the defendants’ failure to disclose impediments to its branded checkout growth strategy that impaired the Company’s ability to meet its 2027 financial targets. The Darcy Securities Action seeks unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the putative class members.

On March 11, 2026, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Goncalves v. Chriss et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-02145-SVK, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Goncalves Action”), purportedly on behalf of the Company. The Goncalves Action is based on the same alleged facts and circumstances as the Darcy Securities Action. The Goncalves Action names certain of our current and former officers, as well as members of our Board of Directors, as defendants. The Goncalves Action alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, contribution, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seeks, on behalf of the Company, an award of damages and an order directing the Company to reform its corporate governance and internal procedures.

On April 2, 2026, a putative securities class action captioned Norfolk County Retirement System v. PayPal Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-02849-VKD, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Norfolk Securities Action”). The Norfolk Securities Action generally asserts the same claims and allegations made in the Darcy Securities Action, but expands the Darcy Class Period to February 8, 2024 to February 2, 2026 and includes additional alleged misstatements from the earlier time period. The Norfolk Securities Action seeks unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the putative class members.

General matters

Other third parties have from time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We are subject to patent disputes and expect that we will increasingly be subject to additional patent infringement claims involving various aspects of our business as our products and services continue to expand in scope and complexity. Such claims may be brought directly or indirectly against our companies and/or against our customers (who may be entitled to contractual indemnification under their contracts with us), and we are subject to increased exposure to such claims as a result of our acquisitions, particularly in cases where we are introducing new products or services in connection with such acquisitions. We have in the past been forced to litigate such claims, and we believe that additional lawsuits alleging such claims will be filed against us. Intellectual property claims, whether meritorious or not, are time-consuming and costly to defend and resolve, could require expensive changes in our methods of doing business, or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms or make substantial payments to settle claims or to satisfy damages awarded by courts.

From time to time, we are involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business, including suits by our consumers (individually or as class actions), merchants or regulators alleging, among other things, improper disclosure of our prices, rules, or policies, that our practices, prices, rules, policies, or user, product, business or merchant agreements violate applicable law, or that we have acted unfairly or not acted in conformity with such prices, rules, policies, or agreements. In addition to these types of disputes and regulatory inquiries, our operations are also subject to regulatory and legal review and challenges that may reflect the increasing global regulatory focus and scrutiny to which the payments industry is subject and, when taken together with other regulatory and legislative action, such actions could result in the imposition of costly new compliance burdens on our business and customers and may lead to increased costs and decreased transaction volume and revenue. Further, the number and significance of these disputes and inquiries are increasing as our business has grown and expanded in scale and scope, including the number of active accounts and payment transactions on our platform, the range and increasing complexity of the products and services that we offer, and our geographical operations. Any claims or regulatory actions against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, settlement payments, damage awards (including statutory damages for certain causes of action in certain jurisdictions), fines, penalties, injunctive relief, or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require us to change our products, services, or business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, or otherwise harm our business.

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

Our agreements with eBay governing our separation from eBay provide for specific indemnity and liability obligations for both eBay and us. Disputes between eBay and us have arisen and others may arise in the future, and an adverse outcome in such matters could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the indemnity rights we have against eBay under the agreements may not be sufficient to protect us, and our indemnity obligations to eBay may be significant.


									1Q 2026 FORM 10-Q			39

PayPal Holdings, Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

In the ordinary course of business, we include indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with whom we have commercial relationships. Under these contracts, we generally indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by any third party with respect to our domain names, trademarks, logos, and other branding elements to the extent that such marks are related to the subject agreement. These indemnification provisions generally include indemnity for other types of third-party claims, which may be related to intellectual property rights, confidentiality, willful misconduct, data privacy obligations, and certain breach of contract claims, among others. These indemnification provisions generally also include indemnity to our payments processors arising out of conduct by us or our customers, including in the event of card association fines or other damages incurred by the processor. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular situation.

PayPal has participated in the U.S. Government’s Paycheck Protection Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Loans made under this program were funded by an independent chartered financial institution that we partnered with. We received a fee for providing services in connection with these loans and retained operational and audit risk related to those activities. We have agreed, under certain circumstances, to indemnify the chartered financial institution and its assignee of a portion of these loans in connection with the services provided for loans made under this program.

As part of the agreements to sell certain loans receivable portfolios, in certain circumstances such as breaches in loan warranties, we may be required to indemnify the third-party investors that purchased the loans or repurchase the loans. The estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments we may be required to make is equal to the current outstanding balances of the loans sold; however, the maximum potential amount of the indemnification is not, in our view, representative of the expected future exposure. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the current outstanding balances of the loans sold was $3.4 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. The term of the indemnification obligations align to the maturities of the loans sold.

To date, no significant costs have been incurred, either individually or collectively, in connection with our indemnification provisions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

PROTECTION PROGRAMS

In addition to the protections afforded by applicable law, we provide consumers and merchants with protection programs for certain purchase transactions completed on our payments platform. Our protection programs help protect both consumers and merchants from financial loss resulting from, among other things, counterparty non-performance. These programs are designed to promote confidence on the part of both consumers, who will be reimbursed in certain circumstances, such as not receiving their purchased eligible item in the condition significantly as described, as well as merchants, who will receive payment in certain circumstances, such as establishing proof of shipment or delivery of an eligible item to the customer. These protection programs are considered assurance-type warranties under applicable accounting standards for which we estimate associated costs within the allowance for transaction losses. Our protection programs may result in negative customer balances when there are insufficient funds in a customer’s PayPal account to cover charges applied for merchant-related chargebacks within the scope of our protection programs. Negative customer balances can also occur from bank returns and reversals due to insufficient funding sources. The allowance for negative customer balances represents our estimate of current expected credit losses on negative customer balances.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for transaction losses was $26 million and $73 million, respectively. The allowance for negative customer balances was $284 million and $271 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

NOTE 14**—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY**

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased approximately 34 million shares of our common stock for approximately $1.5 billion at an average cost of $44.60, excluding excise tax. These shares were purchased in the open market under our stock repurchase program authorized in February 2025. As of March 31, 2026, a total of approximately $12.4 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under our February 2025 stock repurchase program.

DIVIDEND PROGRAM

In February 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share on our common stock, totaling approximately $130 million. The dividend was paid on March 25, 2026, to stockholders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on March 4, 2026.

NOTE 16—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 20%. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% in the periods presented was primarily the result of foreign and U.S. income taxed at different rates as well as discrete tax adjustments including tax effects of stock-based compensation.

Gross unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $2.5 billion as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Due to various factors, including uncertainties of the judicial, administrative, and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions, the timing of the resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits is highly uncertain. It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months, we may receive additional tax adjustments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of audits in one or more jurisdictions. These adjustments or settlements could result in changes to our unrecognized tax benefits related to positions on prior year tax filings.

NOTE 17—RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

RESTRUCTURING

The restructuring charges associated with the following plans were recorded in “restructuring and other” on our condensed consolidated statements of income. Accrued restructuring liabilities were included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2Q 2025 Plan

During the second quarter of 2025, management undertook a large-scale initiative (the “2Q 2025 Plan”) to reengineer our existing technology infrastructure to improve scalability, reduce network latency, decrease operational costs, and optimize our workforce. The 2Q 2025 Plan is a transformative unified program designed to streamline operations and includes exiting certain data centers to migrate to more efficient cloud based solutions. The 2Q 2025 Plan is expected to be executed over a period of 18 to 42 months with the workforce component expected to be substantially completed in 2026 and the technology infrastructure component expected to be substantially completed in 2028.

The following table summarizes the associated restructuring charges:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2026		Total Plan Costs Incurred to Date
	(In millions)
Employee severance and benefits costs	$	2	$	98

Other restructuring costs(1)	9		15
Total	$	11	$	113

(1) 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.

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. The timing of activities and cost estimates continue to be developed and are subject to change.
