The global modern card issuer reported $57 billion in total processing volume with net revenue of $109 million in the third quarter of 2023.

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The Company reported total processing volume (TPV) of $57 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 33% driven by volume growth across several use cases.

Marqeta's Q3 earnings are the Company's first full quarter of financial results reflecting its Cash App contract renewal announced in August. Marqeta reported net revenue of $109 million, a decrease of 43% year over year, which included a 60 percentage point negative growth impact due to the change in revenue presentation caused by the new Cash App contract. Gross profit was $73 million for the quarter, resulting in a gross margin of 67%. Gross profit decreased 9% year over year, primarily as a result of new Cash App pricing. GAAP operating expenses and net loss for the quarter were $142 million and $55 million, respectively. Adjusted operating expenses were $75 million, a year-over-year decrease of 20% driven by cost reduction initiatives, which resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2 million.

“Our Q3 results represent the new baseline for Marqeta, post Block’s Cash App renewal. We've shown continued sales bookings momentum against a backdrop of operational discipline, continued scale, and new innovations through the launch of our credit platform,” said Simon Khalaf, CEO of Marqeta. “We are in a good position to return to strong growth by Q3 2024 as we lap the Cash App contract and expect to accelerate that growth in future years as the market for embedded finance continues to materialize.”

Recent Business Updates:

Marqeta highlighted several recent business updates that demonstrate its current business momentum:

• Marqeta announced its new credit platform, adding intuitive credit card program management tools and creating a one-stop shop for launching consumer and commercial credit programs. Through Marqeta, customers won’t have to build credit cards with black box legacy infrastructure or from a patchwork of different solutions. Instead, through one single, modern tech stack that has been proven at scale, they can build out a credit product closely tailored to the needs of consumer and commercial cardholders.

• Marqeta announced multiple updates to its long-standing relationship with Block. It extended the term of the Square Debit Card program through June 30, 2028 and extended the term of the Cash App program for one additional year, also through June 30, 2028. As part of the agreement Marqeta will be the default provider of issuing processing and related services in current or future markets outside of the U.S. where Block intends to operate and the Company is able to provide issuing and processing services.

• Marqeta announced that with the Block extensions complete, it has now signed contract renewals in the last 6 quarters with customers accounting for over 75% of its TPV, securing a solid customer base to drive growth in the coming years.

• Marqeta announced that consumer cards offered by Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) providers to give their customers the ability to pay in installments at any merchant that accepts cards, drove almost 10% of all BNPL TPV. This rapid growth is testament to the innovation and comprehensive nature of the Marqeta platform in both commercial and consumer programs.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results:

Net revenue decreased by $83 million, or 43% year-over-year, declining to $109 million from $192 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a contract renewal with Cash App and resulting change in revenue presentation. The impact of fees owed to Issuing Banks and Card Networks related to the Cash App primary Card Network volume, which are netted against revenue earned from the Cash App program within Net Revenue, was a reduction of $114 million, negatively impacting the growth rate by 60 percentage points. In prior periods, these costs were included within Costs of Revenue.

Gross profit decreased by 9% year-over-year, declining to $73 million from $80 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to reduced pricing from the Cash App renewal. Gross margin was 67% in the third quarter of 2023.

Net loss increased by $2 million year-over-year to $55 million in the quarter. Our decrease in gross profit in conjunction with a slight increase in operating expenses was partially offset by increases in interest income earned on our short-term investments and cash deposits. Net loss margin was 51% in the third quarter of 2023.

Total Processing Volume increased by 33% year-over-year, rising to $57 billion from $42 billion in the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by $12 million year-over year, declining to a loss of $2 million, in the third quarter of 2023 from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $14 million in the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was (2)% in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 5 percentage points year-over-year.

Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures
(in thousands)
(unaudited)

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; restructuring charges; acquisition-related expenses which consist of due diligence costs, transaction costs and integration costs related to potential or successful acquisitions, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses; income tax expense (benefit); and other income (expense), net, which consists of interest income from our short-term investments, realized foreign currency gains and losses, 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 our 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; restructuring charges; and acquisition-related expenses which consists of due diligence costs, transaction costs and integration costs related to potential or successful acquisitions, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses. We believe that non-GAAP operating expenses 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.

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.

_______________

(1) Acquisition-related expenses, which include transaction costs, integration costs and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expense, have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as such expenses are not reflective of our ongoing core operations and are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business; instead, these are costs specifically associated with a discrete transaction.
