PayPay Corporation Reports
First Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 Financial Results
Another strong quarter, with Total Revenue up 27% year-on-year, Profit for the period reaching ¥19.7 billion (up 83%) and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34%, exceeding guidance
Raised guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, expecting Total Revenue of ¥465 to ¥473 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of ¥149 to ¥155 billion
TOKYO, Japan, July 31 (July 30 EDT), 2026 – PayPay Corporation (NASDAQ: PAYP) ("PayPay" or the "Company") today released its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as well as managerial results.
Financial Highlights
First Quarter ended June 30, 2026
Total Revenue - Total Revenue grew 27% year-on-year to ¥109.8 billion, demonstrating our self-sustaining flywheel in full motion. By becoming an integral part of our users' daily and lifetime infrastructure, we unlocked compounding growth in payment engagement and financial services adoption.
Payment Segment - Our Total Revenue reached ¥88.6 billion, representing a 25% year-on-year increase and continuing its high-velocity growth. GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) reached ¥5.39 trillion—a 23% year-on-year increase fueled by growth in online channel GMV, PayPay Credit GMV (payments made by linking a PayPay Card to the PayPay app) and PayPay Card GMV (payments made using a physical PayPay Card), which increased by 44%, 30%, and 28% year-on-year, respectively. In particular, the increased use of the PayPay Card alongside PayPay Credit contributed to GMV growth, supported by our continued execution of promotional initiatives such as "Super PayPay Festival" and collaboration with SoftBank mobile plans. Furthermore, credit card financing balances built up steadily, led by revolving and installment payment balances (up 25% year-on-year on a combined basis) and cash advances (up 57% year-on-year). Take Rate continued to expand to 1.64%—an increase of 0.02 percentage points year-on-year—underpinned by a favorable shift in the GMV mix of online and offline. Specifically, the ratio of high-margin online payments within the combined PayPay Balance and PayPay Credit GMV rose to 18%, up 3 percentage points year-on-year. As outlined in the “Business Updates,” performance following our comprehensive review of point reward programs in June has been broadly in line with expectations. While the impact on user retention and GMV has remained contained, the resulting cost reduction has also contributed to improved profitability overall.
PayPay MTU (Monthly Transacting Users) - Reached 41.7 million. This 10% year-on-year growth (an increase of 4 million) outpaced the 7% year-on-year growth in registered users, which totaled 74.6 million, signaling a steady increase in the active rate—calculated as PayPay MTU divided by PayPay registered users—standing at 56%, up 1.7 percentage points year-on-year.
Payment Segment Monthly GMV per MTU - Stood at ¥43,261, representing an 11% year-on-year increase. This expansion was driven by two factors: increased transaction frequency and a higher average ticket size, fueled by deepening customer engagement as our cross-use strategy for PayPay Credit and PayPay Card alongside PayPay Balance makes steady progress.
Financial Service Segment - Total Revenue grew by 44% year-on-year to ¥22.5 billion. The number of PayPay Bank Deposit Accounts hit 10.2 million, reflecting effective cross-use within the ecosystem. Balance of Deposits grew 17% year-on-year to ¥2.3 trillion. Building on this solid funding base, the balance of loans stood at ¥1.3 trillion, up 37% year-on-year. This growth was steadily driven by a robust increase in mortgages that outpaced the broader market, as well as growth in consumer and business loans. Consequently, we achieved a strong 78% year-on-year increase in interest income, driven by this business growth as well as increased interest income from securities and other investments amid rising interest rates. Furthermore, Gains on Financial Instruments surged to ¥3,293 million, representing a 65% year-on-year increase. This rapid growth was primarily supported by fee income driven by increased
trading activity at our securities brokerage business amid favorable market condition. The number of PayPay Securities accounts expanded to 1.82 million, up 29% year-on-year. Additionally, during the first quarter, PayPay Bank Corporation transitioned to a new management structure, including a change in its Representative Director and President. Through the revamping of its next-generation system plans and a comprehensive review of business strategies encompassing UI/UX, products, and pricing, the bank will accelerate initiatives aimed at rapid business expansion.
Total Transaction Cost - Total Transaction Cost (comprising the sum of settlement-related costs, provision for loss allowance, and interest expenses) as a percentage of Total Revenue rose slightly to 23%, up from 22% in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Structural Margin Expansion - Profit for the period reached ¥19.7 billion, representing an 83% increase year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA surged 59% year-on-year to ¥37.4 billion, with margins expanding to 34% as a result of the operating leverage in both segments.
Business Updates
Evolution into a Leading Digital Financial Platform
- Expansion of eKYC (electronic Know-Your-Customer)-Verified User Base and Revision of Our Point Reward Programs - The number of eKYC-verified users reached 42.5 million as of the end of June 2026—one of the largest digital customer bases in Japan. Promoting eKYC is positioned as a major strategic initiative aimed at preventing fraudulent activities and reinforcing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) measures. Furthermore, eKYC acts as a critical enabler for seamless cross-use across our expanding financial ecosystem. By leveraging verified identity information, the friction typically associated with onboarding for new services—such as bank account opening or securities brokerage—is reduced, offering users a streamlined and frictionless experience. Reflecting the fundamental importance of eKYC within the PayPay ecosystem, we comprehensively revised our point reward programs on June 2, 2026, by making identity verification a prerequisite for point rewards and benefit increases, discontinuing point rewards for payments made using PayPay Points, and transitioning from the "PayPay Card Gold +0.5% point benefit on transaction volume" to an "Annual Usage Benefit", which awards 11,000 PayPay Points to members with an annual transaction volume of ¥1 million or more. To foster understanding, we thoroughly communicated the benefits of eKYC to our users, including enhanced conveniences such as higher transaction limits and a full reimbursement for fraudulent transactions, subject to applicable terms and conditions. Following the implementation of this program, the growth of eKYC-verified users has accelerated, yielding a quarter-on-quarter increase of 1.9 million. Importantly, the impact on user retention and GMV remained well within our expectations, while the resulting cost reductions improved profitability by ¥1 billion for the month of June.
Acquisition of T&D Financial Life Insurance Company
On June 4, we announced the planned acquisition of a 70.2% stake in T&D Financial Life Insurance Company, expected to close in October 1, 2027, subject to regulatory approval. We are enthusiastic about expanding our customer touchpoints through life insurance and entering the ¥45 trillion Japanese life insurance market(1), a vast total addressable market with significant untapped potential for digitalization. Strategically, incorporating a life insurance balance sheet accelerates our evolution into a resilient hybrid model that balances flow-based payment revenues with recurring, balance-sheet-driven revenue from financial services. This allows us to capture the benefits of the current rising interest rate environment while ensuring sustainable growth opportunities regardless of future changes in the external environment. While our current strength is anchored in daily payment touchpoints with users across all generations (especially those in their 20s and 30s) through PayPay, life insurance plays an important role in supporting customers throughout various life stages, including risk protection, wealth accumulation, and asset succession. By incorporating the life insurance business into our group, we will create customer touchpoints across all life stages, from youth through retirement, further enhancing our customer understanding through data accumulation, and thereby accelerating our evolution into a digital financial platform.
The strategic rationale for this acquisition focuses on three key areas:
- Offering Unique Products - Life insurance covers functions ranging from protection to savings. As a first step, we can create products positioned between bank deposits and investment products by leveraging T&D Financial Life Insurance Company’s competitive edge in savings-type insurance. Further, we envision developing data-driven products tailored to our users, leveraging the advantages of an acquisition rather than a partnership.
- Strengthening Customer Touchpoints - With an 89% life insurance penetration rate(2) among households with two or more members in Japan, the market offers diverse protection and investment features. Since these products are re-evaluated during life stage changes or financial shifts, they represent an essential component for expanding our customer reach and building long-term customer relationships.
- Maximizing Revenue Opportunities - T&D Financial Life Insurance Company currently cedes a substantial portion of the risks associated with new single-premium policies to reinsurers. We aim to enhance our asset management capability to expand profit margins.
- Represents the total annual premium and other income across all 41 member companies for the one-year period from April 2025 to March 2026, as reported in the "2025 Summary of Life Insurance Business" by The Life Insurance Association of Japan.
- Represents the percentage of households with life insurance policies (including individual annuity insurance) among households with two or more members, as reported in the "2024 National Survey on Life Insurance" by the Japan Institute of Life Insurance.

These expenses are recognized by allocating the fair value of each award over its respective vesting period. Following the completion of PayPay’s IPO, the cumulative amount relating to prior periods was recognized in a lump sum in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026. Notably, in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, only equity-settled share-based payment expenses are adjusted as non-cash items, while cash-settled expenses are not adjusted.
(3) Listing-related expenses consist of the fees and expenses of the professional advisors that we hired in connection with the preparations for our initial public offering.
(4) M&A-related expenses consist of the fees and expenses of the professional advisors that we hired in connection with acquisitions and investments and accrued expenses related to holdbacks in connection with a prior acquisition.
(5) Net interest expense (income) from corporate borrowings and treasury assets comprises interest expense on borrowings from LY Corporation, offset by interest income derived from guarantee deposits, cash and cash equivalents, and government securities within the Payment Segment.
(6) Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenue.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Key Metrics
This release includes financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). This release also includes non-IFRS financial information, which should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Some of the non-IFRS financial measures that are included in this release are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We use these non-IFRS financial measures in conjunction with IFRS measures to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, prepare budgets and forecasts, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors, analysts, and others about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our performance, and can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our financial performance across periods. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS financial measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, the Company’s definitions of non-IFRS financial measures may differ from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. For reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see the financial tables attached to this release. However, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS guidance measures to the corresponding IFRS measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-IFRS measures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future IFRS results. Additionally, this release includes key operating metrics that we use to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
