1 TPV represents the total dollar amount of payments processed through our platform, net of returns and chargebacks. We believe that TPV is a key indicator of the market adoption of our platform, growth of our brand, growth of our customers' businesses and scale of our business.

2 See "Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" for definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP operating expenses and the reconciliations of the net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, and of the total operating expenses to Non-GAAP operating expenses.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

  • TPV increased by 41% year-over-year, from $33 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, to $47 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
  • Net revenue of $204 million increased by $48 million, or 31% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher total processing volume, partially offset by changes in our card program mix, particularly the growth of the Powered by Marqeta offering.
  • Gross profit increased by 15% year-over-year to $87 million from $76 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 43% in the fourth quarter.
  • Net loss decreased by $10 million, or 28%, year-over-year to $26 million. The loss results from our increase in compensation, benefits and technology expenses as we continued our investment in our people and platform, offset by our increase in gross profit.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 was a loss of $7 million, a decline of $9 million year-over-year.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results:

  • TPV increased by 50% year-over-year, from $111 billion in 2021, to $166 billion in 2022.
  • Net revenue increased by $231 million, or 45% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher total processing volume, partially offset by changes in our card program mix, particularly the growth of the Powered by Marqeta offering.
  • Gross profit increased by $88 million, or 38% year-over-year. Gross margin was 43% for the year ended December 31, 2022.
  • Net loss increased by $21 million, or 13%, year-over-year to $185 million, primarily resulting from headcount growth.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a loss of $42 million, a decline of $29 million year-over-year.

Financial Guidance:

The following summarizes Marqeta's guidance for the first quarter of 2023:

 

 

First Quarter 2023

Net Revenue Growth

 

26-28%

 

 

 

Gross Profit Growth

 

14-16%

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)

 

Negative 5-6%

(1) See "Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure for the first quarter of 2023 is not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items, such as share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and payroll tax expense, as such items cannot be reasonably predicted and could be significant. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Marqeta, Inc.
Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures
(in thousands)

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Marqeta considers Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Non-GAAP operating expenses as supplemental measures of the company’s performance that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; acquisition related expenses which consists of due diligence costs related to potential acquisitions, and transaction costs, integration costs and amortization of intangible assets related to successful acquisitions; income tax expense (benefit); and other expense (income) net, which consists of changes in the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities (for periods prior to the IPO), realized foreign currency gains and losses, interest income from our marketable securities, our share of equity method investments’ profit or loss, impairment of equity method investments or other financial instruments, and gain from sale of equity method investments. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including our operating efficiencies, from period to period. Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an input into our calculation of certain annual employee bonus plans.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. This measure is used by management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating efficiency.

We define Non-GAAP operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; and acquisition related expenses which consists of due diligence costs related to potential acquisitions, and transaction costs, integration costs and amortization of intangible assets related to successful acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Non-GAAP operating expenses should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net loss, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than Marqeta does, which limits its usefulness in comparing Marqeta’s financial results with those of other companies.

The following table shows Marqeta's GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:
