We once again drove exceptionally strong and profitable growth across the entire P&L, with RLTC growing a standout 39%. This is our 11th consecutive quarter of 30% or faster GMV growth. We have been consistently profitable for the past 12 months. The clear runway to keep this momentum going allowed us - and I had to check with my accountant here - to release the valuation allowance on a majority of our domestic deferred tax assets, boosting net income this quarter to a (currently) ludicrous $1.6 billion. We maintained the hiring discipline we established in 2023 and leaned into AI productivity tools to both increase the velocity of product development and reduce the fully-loaded cost per shipped feature by approximately 30% over the last 6 months - the new technology permits us to do very exciting things.
Profitability has been the measure of financial technology companies for the last few years, as each had to answer the singular question posed by the market: "just how good is your business?" I believe Affirm's response is self-evident in the numbers above.
With GMV crossing the $50B mark this fiscal year, Affirm's growth can no longer be explained away by the novelty of our product, and our steady credit outcomes demonstrate our commitment to responsible growth with robust unit economics.
So perhaps another question worth asking is "just how much larger can this business get?" We've covered Affirm's many growth opportunities in the past, but allow me to offer a consolidated view of our active, current growth vectors, with some sense for total remaining opportunity in each.

The reason for this focus on growth is Affirm is a network. A key attribute of a well-designed network is the cost of non-participation (due to either intransigence or churn) rises with the scale of the network itself. As the number of transactors and transactions grows, it becomes more and more irrational for merchants to postpone adding Affirm to their checkout. And as our checkout presence increases, consumers get more opportunities to try or repeat with us. A corollary is that well-managed networks see very little natural churn at scale. This is readily apparent in our merchant dollar-based net expansion averaging 120% over the last three years. Therefore, adding more nodes to the network is the single most valuable thing we can do as we scale the foundation of our business.
Sustainable Profitable Growth
Merchant growth. Active merchants grew over 50% this quarter, primarily through platform partnerships. Even better, that growth rate doubled compared to the same period last year. And while we're proud to call hundreds of thousands of iconic and up-and-coming merchant brands our partners, there is still plenty of room to grow: Affirm is available at only about 80 of the top 250 e-commerce sites and just 10% of all e-commerce merchants in the US offer Affirm.
Share of merchant volume. Launching a merchant integration is always the beginning rather than the end of a journey. We continuously work on maximizing point of sale conversion at the lowest possible cost to our merchants, and our share of volume grows steadily over time.
In-store. Our participation in brick-and-mortar sales volume is far lower than it is online, even though the product we offer is just as relevant. Since we began scaling Affirm Card in 2023, offline GMV more than doubled year over year every single quarter. We see significant further opportunities for product improvement here and will be rolling those out over the course of fiscal '27.
Vertical expansion. Our point-of-sale integrations are primarily in e-commerce and travel. But Affirm Card consumers show us daily that they want to use Affirm for professional services, elective medical, automotive products and services, and much more. Merchants see it too, and we are integrating with platforms and brands in these verticals, adapting our product to the specifics of the new transaction types. GMV from these integrations is now in the billions annually, growing at double the rate of our overall business.
Geographic expansion. We are excited to launch ShopPay Installments (powered by Affirm) in Australia with Shopify, and are preparing to enter the next major geography in our global expansion plan. While it's still early days of our UK expansion, we are excited to see our unique value proposition resonating. I am pleased to announce that one of Affirm's OGs - 11 years and counting! - Pat Suh will take on a new role of SVP and Managing Director, Global Markets to lead our international efforts.
Brand-sponsored promotions. A unique feature of Affirm are the longer-term, 0% APR loans: the almost-magic, interest- and gimmick-free multi-month payment plans that routinely double basket sizes and add 25% or more to point-of-sale conversion for our merchant partners.
Paying for the reduced APRs is an obviously profitable idea for vertically integrated, direct-to-consumer brands, but is a lot tougher for general merchandisers, who are operating within a more constrained reseller's margin profile. We've been developing a scalable process for brands and manufacturers to contribute APR-reducing dollars for Affirm loans offered by retailers at the point of sale, and BSPs are now approximately 15% of our longer-term 0% APR loans.

Other achievements
Notable new merchants. Since April we've launched with Bed Bath & Beyond, ServiceTitan, and Crate and Barrel, renewed our partnership with Samsung, and signed several major new merchants, including Etsy.
Vertical growth. Thanks to our expanding platform partnerships, professional services grew 74%, elective medical grew 85%, and automotive products and services grew 140%.
Not exactly a lightweight. The second Big Nothing event saw the number of participating merchants double compared to the first, and generated approximately $500 million in GMV across numerous categories in the network. Within the Affirm marketplace, 0% APR GMV increased by more than 200%, with an average order value of over $700. Even more Nothing coming soon!
I see England, I see France. In addition to ShopPay Installments launch in Australia, in the UK, we signed with Costco, and expanded with Royal Caribbean. We also rolled out our Stripe UK integration enabling us to support more UK merchants.
Goooooooooal! Travel and ticketing performed particularly well, with an assist by the World Cup: ticketing GMV increased 70% in the month of June.
Affirm Edge. We think adding on-demand borrowing capabilities to debit cards is a killer feature whose time has come, and are very excited to share the technology, risk, capital markets, and merchant network stack we built to power our own Card with traditional financial institutions and fintech debit card issuers alike. The field here is especially green - there are over a billion debit cards in circulation in the US alone. We expect the first pilots of the Edge-enabled cards to begin transacting on our network in the second half of our fiscal year.
App + Card. We dedicate a disproportionate amount of space to Affirm App+Card in these notes, so I will stick to the whole brevity thing this time. In the trailing twelve months Affirm Card active cardholders were just north of
5.2 million, yet that is only 19% of our total active consumers in the same period. Average total GMV for these consumers was almost $4,000, more than twice that of active consumers overall.
But wait, there is more! A very small team known internally only as zt1 reports directly to me and works exclusively on early proofs of concept for some of our craziest "it-will-never-work-except…" ideas. Much of what gets me personally excited about Affirm happens within this team. So I decided to dramatically increase the time I get to spend with them.
Our long-suffering (8 years today!) COO Michael Linford is promoted to the role of President to match Libor's title (who, for the avoidance of doubt, isn't going anywhere) adding Legal and Compliance, Revenue, and Global Markets to Michael's direct responsibilities. Libor will also continue in the role of President. Michael and Libor will continue to report to me.
Michael is a good man and thorough, a truly gifted leader of teams, and consolidating these operating efforts with him will further accelerate what is already a finely-tuned execution machine. Selfishly, it will allow me to dedicate a lot more time to working on charting new growth vectors for Affirm. I look forward to talking about some of them in the future shareholder letters.
As always, thanks to all of my fellow Affirmers for delivering another great quarter and year. Your brilliance and consistent hard work are unmatched in this industry. Here's to a fantastic fiscal '27 and on to $100 billion GMV!
Onward,

Highlights
Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) grew 36% to $14.1 billion.3
Approximately 50% of GMV growth came from direct merchant point-of-sale integrations, 30% from direct-to-consumer business, and the remainder from wallet partnerships.4 The mix of GMV derived from top five partners declined to 42% compared to 46% during the same period in the prior year, as a result of the continued diversification of GMV across merchants, platform partners, and through our direct to consumer products.
The shift of an annual promotional event at a large enterprise merchant partner from the previous FQ1 timing to FQ4 contributed a low single digit benefit to this GMV growth rate.
All categories grew during the quarter, with notable strength in categories such as services, home/lifestyle, and the "other" category that includes GMV from long-tail merchants and wallet partners. From a product perspective, the Pay-in-X category grew the fastest at 41%, driven in part by an enterprise merchant funding Pay-in-X offers for certain transactions on an evergreen basis.
Direct-to-Consumer GMV (D2C GMV) grew 49% to $4.7 billion driven entirely by Affirm Card GMV, which grew 124% to $2.8 billion. In-store GMV on Card continues to be more than an order of magnitude higher than in-store spend on Affirm non-Card surfaces. Active cardholders again more than doubled year over year to 5.2 million as card attach rate increased to approximately 19%, up about two points sequentially versus the prior quarter and up nine points year over year.5
Total transactions during the quarter increased to 53 million, growing 41% and outpacing overall GMV growth, as Average Order Value (AOV) declined by 4%. The increase in transaction count and slight decline in AOV is largely attributable to the aforementioned growth of the Pay-in-X product category, which tends to be used for lower AOV transactions.
Active consumers increased 21% to 27.8 million as of June 30, 2026, while transactions per active consumer increased 20% to 7.0 over the trailing twelve month period ending June 30, 2026.
Active merchant count increased 51% to 571 thousand as of June 30, 2026, with the year-over-year growth rate accelerating 8 percentage points from the prior quarter. The increase in merchant count was diversified across several drivers, with the most important being the ongoing scaling of three wallet partnerships, continued success serving long-tail merchants via Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners, and the ramping of our partnership with a large digital invoicing platform.
3 All growth rate references are on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise indicated.
4 For the purposes of this calculation, Card volume excludes transactions processed through a large wallet partner.
5 Card attach rate defined as active cardholders divided by total active consumers during a given period.

All comparisons on a year-over-year basis
Total RevenueTotal revenue grew 33% to $1,166 million. Revenue as a percentage of GMV was 8.29%, near the high end of our 7.5% to 8.5% medium term range, and a decrease of 17 basis points compared to FQ4'25. The following factors contributed to revenue growth and the year-over-year change in revenue as a percentage of GMV:
Network revenue grew 26%, slower than overall GMV growth, in part due to a mix shift towards direct-to-consumer (D2C) GMV, which typically comes with lower network revenue as a percentage of GMV relative to integrated POS volume. As a percent of GMV, network revenue declined 20 basis points due to the aforementioned growth in D2C GMV.
Interest income grew 35%, in line with overall GMV growth, and consistent with the 33% increase in average net loans held for investment.
Gain on sales of loans grew 41%, faster than overall GMV growth, and increased by 5 basis points as a percent of GMV. The increase in gain on sales of loans was driven in part by a 26% growth in loans sold. Additionally, gain on sale as a percentage of loans sold increased by 29 basis points due to more favorable loan sale pricing.
Servicing income grew 36%, in line with overall growth in both GMV and the average off-balance sheet platform portfolio. Servicing income remained stable at approximately 2% of the average off-balance sheet platform portfolio on an annualized basis.

On a product basis, GMV mix shifted slightly to Pay in X, which increased 41%. Several of our top partners agreed to fund Pay-in-X offers for select transactions on an evergreen basis which led to a substantial increase in Pay-in-X GMV at these partners.

Operating IncomeOperating Income was $147 million, an $89 million improvement compared to the $58 million in FQ4'25. Operating Income as a percentage of revenue, or Operating Margin, was approximately 12.6% in the period, compared to 6.6% during FQ4'25. The $147 million of Operating Income is inclusive of $53 million in enterprise warrant and share-based expenses associated with warrants granted to two enterprise partners.
The $89 million improvement in Operating Income was driven by a $164 million increase in RLTC and partially offset by a $75 million increase in operating expenses excluding transaction costs. Within these operating expenses:
Technology and data analytics increased $48 million, or 31%. The increase was primarily driven by a $20 million, or 32%, increase in amortization of internally-developed software expense. Infrastructure expenses also increased $15 million, or 35%, primarily due to a 41% increase in transaction count. Additionally, we continued to invest in strategic initiatives such as Affirm Bank and international expansion, including incremental headcount associated with these initiatives.
Sales and marketing increased $13 million, or 16%, due to an increase in comarketing expenses as well as a
$3 million increase in enterprise warrant expense.

Affirm FQ4'26 Shareholder Letter
General and administrative increased $14 million, or 11%. The increase was primarily due to growth in software and subscription expenses, customer service expenses, and employee-related expenses. There was also a $3 million loss on asset disposal as we reduced our office footprint in one city.
Adjusted Operating IncomeAdjusted Operating Income was $353 million, a
$116 million improvement and 49% increase from the
$237 million of Adjusted Operating Income in FQ4'25. Adjusted Operating Income as a percentage of Revenue, or Adjusted Operating Margin, was 30% during the period compared to 27% during FQ4'25. Adjusted Operating Income excludes the impact of enterprise warrant and share-based expenses, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, and other items.
The $116 million increase in Adjusted Operating Income consisted of a $164 million increase in RLTC, which was partially offset by a $48 million increase, or 25% increase, in non-GAAP operating expenses excluding transaction costs. Within these operating expenses:
Non-GAAP Technology and data analytics increased
$24 million, or 32%. Of this increase, infrastructure expenses grew by $15 million, or 35%, primarily due to the 41% growth in transaction count. Additionally, we continued to invest in products such as Card, wallet and PSP partnerships, and international expansion, including investments made into incremental headcount associated with these projects.
Non-GAAP Sales and marketing increased $10 million, or 36%, primarily due to higher comarketing expenses.
Non-GAAP General and administrative increased
$14 million, or 16%. The increase was primarily due to growth in software and subscription expenses, customer service expenses, and employee-related expenses.
Credit quality30+ day delinquencies excluding Peloton and Pay in X loans increased 19 basis points year over year and decreased 26 basis points quarter over quarter to 2.5%.

U.S. Monthly Installment Loans from FQ2'23 through FQ2'26
Recent cohorts of monthly installment loans are tracking towards approximately 3.5% ultimate net charge-offs as a percent of cohort GMV, which is in-line with expectations and consistent with the performance of historic loan cohorts.

U.S. Pay in 4 Loans from FQ4'24 through Feb 2026
All recent vintages of Pay in 4 loans are continuing to track to loss rates of less than 1% of GMV.
Capital and Funding UpdateFunding Capacity increased to $30.0 billion at the end of FQ4'26, up from $26.1 billion at the end of FQ4'25, and
$28.2 billion at the end of FQ3'26. We estimate this capacity can support more than $70.0 billion in annual GMV based upon our weighted-average loan duration of approximately 5 months at the end of FQ4'26.
The main highlights across the funding channels as of the end of FQ4'26 were:
ABS: capacity increased by approximately $400 million year over year and $200 million compared to FQ3'26. During the quarter, we closed the approximately $550 million 2026-X1 static ABS transaction. The transaction was more than four times oversubscribed at pricing, with robust demand across all tranches, and had the best blended credit spread of any Affirm 'X' transaction to date. This also marks the fourth consecutive 'X' transaction with a duration-weighted average yield below 6%.
Forward flow: capacity increased by approximately
$1.2 billion year over year and approximately $300 million compared to FQ3'26. During the quarter, we renewed and extended our relationship with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPP Investments") while expanding the agreement from $1.4 billion to $1.7 billion, with the ability to further increase capacity to $2.2 billion.
Warehouse and other funding debt: capacity increased by approximately $2.3 billion year over year and approximately $1.2 billion compared to FQ3'26. During the quarter, we upsized our U.S. Core warehouse facility by approximately $700 million and added significant warehouse funding capacity for loans originated in Canada.
At the end of June, we had approximately $2.6 billion in total liquidity split between cash and equivalents and securities available for sale, against which we had approximately $1.1 billion in convertible debt.
Our net cash position of $1.5 billion increased by $400 million year over year as cash and securities available for sale increased by $377 million, while convertible debt outstanding decreased by $23 million. Quarter over quarter, net cash increased by $121 million as cash and securities available for sale increased by $122 million.
On December 17, 2025, the Affirm board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $176 million, out of
$221 million outstanding, in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2026 convertible notes during the period from January 1, 2026 through November 13, 2026. There were no repurchases under this authorization during FQ4'26.

Enterprise partnerships
A promotional event with a large enterprise merchant partner that occurred in FQ1'26 will not repeat in FQ1'27, creating a slight headwind to year-over-year GMV growth.
A separate enterprise merchant that expressed an intent to switch its Pay Later volumes to its own wallet solution substantially completed this transition during FQ1'26. The headwind to year-over-year GMV growth from this transition is expected to abate during the final month of FQ1'27.
Interest rate environment
Based upon the forward curve embedded within the outlook, short-term benchmark interest rates are expected to increase during FY'27 compared to FY'26.
Funding
Equity Capital Required ("ECR") as a percent of Total Platform Portfolio ("ECR Ratio") is expected to remain at or below 5%.
Product and go-to-market initiatives
Our outlook includes the expected financial impact of our expansion outside of North America, which is not expected to be a material growth contributor during FY'27.
6 A reconciliation of adjusted operating margin 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 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 the Company. However, the Company believes that GMV is a useful operating metric to both the Company and investors in assessing the volume of transactions that take place on the Company's platform, which is an indicator of the success of the Company's merchants and the strength of that platform.
Active Consumers - The Company defines an active consumer as a consumer who completes at least one transaction on its platform during the twelve months prior to the measurement date. The Company believes that active consumers is a useful operating metric to both the Company and investors in assessing consumer adoption and engagement and measuring the size of the Company's network.
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 twelve months prior to the measurement date. The Company believes that transactions per active consumer is a useful operating metric to both the Company and investors in assessing consumer engagement and repeat usage, which is an indicator of the value of the Company's network.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTransaction 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. The Company believes that transaction costs is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors of those costs, which vary with the volume of transactions processed on the Company's platform.
Transaction Costs as a Percentage of GMV - The Company defines transaction costs as a Percentage of GMV as transaction costs, as defined above, as a percentage of GMV, as defined above. The Company believes that transaction costs as a percentage of GMV is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors as it approximates the variable cost efficiency of transactions processed on the Company's platform.
Revenue Less Transaction Costs ("RLTC") - The Company defines revenue less transaction costs as GAAP total revenue less transaction costs, as defined above. The Company believes that revenue less transaction costs is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors of the economic value generated by transactions processed on the Company's platform.
Revenue Less Transaction Costs as a Percentage of GMV - The Company defines revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV as revenue less transaction costs, as defined above, as a percentage of GMV, as defined above.

Similar to adjusted operating income (loss), the Company believes that adjusted operating margin is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors for evaluating its operating performance and that it facilitates period to period comparisons of the Company's results of operations as the items excluded generally are not a function of the Company's operating performance.
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 loans held for investment, loans held for sale, and loans owned by third-parties. The Company believes that total platform portfolio is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors in assessing the scale of funding requirements for the Company's network.
Equity Capital Required ("ECR") - 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. The Company believes that equity capital required is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors in assessing the amount of the Company's total platform portfolio that the Company funds with its own equity capital.
Equity Capital Required as a Percentage of Total Platform Portfolio ("ECR Ratio") - The Company
defines equity capital required as a percentage of total platform portfolio as equity capital required, as defined above, as a percentage of total platform portfolio, as defined above.

Non-GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense - The Company defines non-GAAP sales and marketing expense as GAAP sales and marketing expense, excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization; (b) stock-based compensation included in GAAP operating income (loss); (c) the expense related to warrants and share-based payments granted to enterprise partners; and (d) certain other costs as set forth in the reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss) included in the tables at the end of this letter. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expense is presented because the Company believes that it is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors of its sales and marketing activities and that it facilitates period to period comparisons of the Company's sales and marketing as the items excluded generally are not a function of the Company's operating performance.
Non-GAAP Technology and Data Analytics Expense - The Company defines non-GAAP technology and data analytics expense as GAAP technology and data analytics expense, excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization; (b) stock-based compensation included in GAAP operating income (loss); and (c) certain other costs as set forth in the reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss) included in the tables at the end of this letter. Non-GAAP technology and data analytics expense is presented because the Company believes that it is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors of its technology and data analytics activities and that it facilitates period to period comparisons of the Company's technology and data analytics as the items excluded generally are not a function of the Company's operating performance.
Non-GAAP General and Administrative Expense - The Company defines non-GAAP general and administrative expense as GAAP general and administrative expense, excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization; (b) stock-based compensation included in GAAP operating income (loss); and (c) certain other costs as set forth in the reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss) included in the tables at the end of this letter. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense is presented because the Company believes that it is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors as it facilitates period to period comparisons of the Company's general and administrative costs as the items excluded generally are not a function of the Company's operating performance.
Non-GAAP Other Operating Expenses - The Company defines non-GAAP operating expenses as the aggregate of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP technology and data analytics expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense. Each of these components is calculated as the corresponding GAAP expense category, excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization; (b) stock-based compensation included in GAAP operating income (loss); (c) the expense related to warrants and share-based payments granted to enterprise partners; and (d) certain other costs as set forth in the reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss) included in the tables at the end of this letter. Non-GAAP operating expenses are presented because the Company believes that they are useful financial measures to both the Company and investors, facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the Company's core operating expenses, as the items excluded generally do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's ongoing operations.
Incremental Margin - The Company defines incremental margin as the year-over-year change in either Operating Income (Loss) or Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) divided by the year-over-year change in Revenue Less Transaction Costs (RLTC). Incremental margin is presented because the Company believes that it is a useful financial measure to both the Company and investors as it reflects the rate at which additional RLTC converts into operating income (or adjusted operating income, as applicable) from one period to the next.
Supplemental Performance IndicatorsActive Merchants - The Company defines an active merchant as a merchant which has a relationship with Affirm, or a platform or wallet partner, and engages in at least one Affirm transaction during the twelve months prior to the measurement date.

Total Revenue as a Percentage of GMV - The Company defines total revenue as a percentage of GMV as GAAP total revenue as a percentage of GMV, as defined above. The Company believes that total revenue as a percentage of GMV is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors of the revenue generated on a transaction processed on the Company's platform.
Allowance for Credit Losses as a Percentage of Loans Held for Investment - The Company defines allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment as GAAP allowance for credit losses as a percentage of GAAP loans held for investment. The Company believes that allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors of the future estimated credit losses on the Company's outstanding loans held for investment.
Funding Capacity - The Company defines funding capacity as the total amount of committed funding provided by warehouse credit facilities, securitizations, and forward flow loan sale agreements available for the purchase or financing of loans. For certain committed forward flow loan sale agreements, the stated funding capacity reflects the maximum outstanding unpaid principal balance at a point in time for loans sold under the agreement, subject to meeting certain conditions which may not have yet been satisfied as of the measurement date. Funding capacity also includes the utilized portion of uncommitted forward flow loan sale agreements as of the measurement date. The Company believes that funding capacity is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors of its ability to fund loan transactions on the Affirm platform.
Delinquencies - The Company defines delinquency as when a payment on a loan becomes more than 4 days past due. The Company generally views delinquency in groupings of more than 30 days past due, more than 60 days past due, and more than 90 days past due. A loan is charged off after a payment on a loan becomes 120 days past due. The Company believes that delinquencies are a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors of the credit quality and performance of the loan portfolio.
Repeat Consumer - The Company defines repeat consumer as a consumer who has transacted with Affirm at least twice. The Company believes that repeat consumer rates on a cohortized basis are a useful indicator of consumer retention and engagement.
Average Annualized Cost of Funds - The Company defines average annualized cost of funds as annualized funding costs divided by the average of funding debt and notes issued by securitization trusts during the period. The Company believes that this is a useful indicator of the average cost of third-party financing of loans held for investment.
Cumulative Net Charge-Offs - The Company defines cumulative net charge-offs as the total dollar amount of loans charged off over time from a specific cohort of transaction, less any recoveries. The Company believes that cumulative net charge-offs is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and Investors of the credit quality and performance of the loan portfolio.
Net Cash - The Company defines net cash as cash and cash equivalents plus securities available for sale, minus convertible senior notes. The Company believes that net cash is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors as it provides an alternative perspective of the Company's liquidity.
Dollar-Based Net Expansion - The Company defines dollar-based net expansion as the quarterly GMV generated by merchants who were active during the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, divided by the GMV generated by that same group of merchants during the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This calculation excludes GMV from outside the U.S., as well as GMV from Returnly, and direct-to-consumer products such as Affirm Card and virtual cards. The Company believes dollar-based net expansion is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors as it reflects the ability to retain and grow GMV from its existing merchant base over time.
Card Attach Rate - The Company defines card attach rate as active cardholders divided by total active consumers at the end of a given period. The Company believes card attach rate is a useful performance indicator to both the Company and investors because it reflects the rate of our card product adoption among our active consumer base.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement the Company's 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, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin, total platform portfolio, equity capital required, and equity capital required as a percentage of total platform portfolio. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures are included under "Key Operating Metrics, Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Performance Indicators" above, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below.
Summaries of the reasons why the Company believes that the presentation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to the Company and investors are included under "Key Operating Metrics, Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Performance Indicators" above. In addition, the Company 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, and for evaluating the effectiveness of its business strategy. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and these non-GAAP financial measures have 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 measures 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 (loss) and adjusted operating margin exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, the expense related to warrants and share-based payments granted to enterprise partners, and share-based compensation expense, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses; 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, investors 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.
