SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations, financial condition, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, our market opportunity and the potential growth of that market, our liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
•our future financial performance, including our profitability, revenue, costs of revenue or expenses, or other operating results;
•our ability to successfully execute our business and growth strategy;
•anticipated trends and growth rates in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
•our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;
•our anticipated investments in sales and marketing and research and development;
•our ability to maintain the security and availability of our platform;
•our ability to increase the number of customers using our platform;
•our ability to retain, and to sell additional products and services to, our existing customers;
•our ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new markets;
•our expectations concerning relationships with third parties;
•our estimated total addressable market;
•our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants;
•the attraction and retention of qualified employees and key personnel and the impacts of any restructuring activities;
•the impact of our share repurchase program;
•our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property;
•our ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business;
•our ability to successfully defend litigation brought against us;
•our ability to prevent and successfully remediate material weaknesses, if any, in internal controls over financial reporting;
•the impact of global financial, economic, political, and health events, such as U.S. presidential administration-related changes, fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, capital market disruptions, tariffs, sanctions, or economic slowdowns or recessions, on our business and the restaurant industry;
•our ability to source, finance, and integrate companies and assets that we have or may acquire; and
•the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and investments to meet our liquidity needs.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors listed or described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
ii
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

TOAST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Toast, Inc. (“we,” or “the Company”), is a cloud-based all-in-one digital technology platform purpose-built for the entire restaurant community. We provide a comprehensive platform of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products and financial technology solutions, including integrated payment processing, restaurant-grade hardware, and a broad ecosystem of third-party partners. We serve as the restaurant operating system, connecting front of house and back of house operations across service models including dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering, and retail.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future interim periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or the 2024 Annual Report. As of September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise discussed below.
Risks and Uncertainties
We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including geopolitical events, changes in trade policy, including trade wars, tariffs, sanctions, or the threat of such actions, natural disasters, public health concerns or epidemics, and macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in inflation and interest rates, which may also impact consumer behavior, the restaurant industry, and our business.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates, judgments, and assumptions in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, fair values and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, fair value measurements of warrants, the allowance for credit losses, liabilities associated with financial guarantees related to loan purchase activities, incremental borrowing rates applied in valuation of lease liabilities, accounting for income taxes, as well as the amortization period for deferred contract acquisition costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhancement and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we do not expect its adoption to have a material impact.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Share Repurchase Program
In February 2024, we announced the authorization of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares in our Class A common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock, and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased may depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased $23 million and $54 million, respectively, in Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $140 million remained authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program.

8. Restructuring Activities
In February 2024, we announced a restructuring plan, or the Restructuring Plan, designed to promote overall operating expense efficiency, including a reduction in force and certain other actions to reorganize our facilities and operations. In connection with this Restructuring Plan, we incurred restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $0 million and $46 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, primarily consisting of cash severance costs and the acceleration of stock-based compensation for certain terminated employees. As of September 30, 2025, we have completed the Restructuring Plan.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $0 million and $8 million, respectively, of one-time restructuring costs to continue focusing on operational efficiency, primarily consisting of cash severance costs and the acceleration of stock-based compensation for certain terminated employees. These charges were recorded within restructuring expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, we substantially completed this restructuring activity with immaterial remaining liabilities.
9. Income Taxes
We compute our provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations, and record the impact of discrete items in the period in which they occur.
Our effective income tax rate was (0.9 )% and 1.6 % for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 1.8 % and (23.3 )% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for each period differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of having a full valuation allowance maintained against our net deferred tax assets.
The income tax (benefit) expense was ($1 ) million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4 million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the provision is primarily driven by the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, partially offset by excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, or “OBBBA”, was signed into law, which represents the enactment date under U.S. GAAP. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, updates to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) rules, amendments to energy credits, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements.
In accordance with ASC 740, the effects of the new tax legislation are recognized in the period of enactment. Management has evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA, recalculated temporary differences, reassessed valuation allowances, and considered any necessary adjustments. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the effects of the OBBBA are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Management will continue to monitor forthcoming guidance, interpretations, and technical clarifications to assess whether any future adjustments or additional disclosures may be required.
10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. We analyze the potential dilutive effect of stock options, unvested restricted stock, RSUs, our employee stock purchase plan, and warrants to purchase common stock, during periods we generate net income, or when income is recognized related to changes in fair value of warrant liabilities.
Class A common stock and Class B common stock share proportionately, on a per share basis, in our net income (losses) and participate equally in the dividends on common stock, if declared. We allocate net income (losses) attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one -to-one basis when
15
computing net income (loss) per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent.
The following table sets forth the calculation of net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders (in millions, except per share amounts):

(2) During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a loss on fair value remeasurement of our remaining warrants outstanding after the Warrant Repurchase. These warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive impact. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a loss on fair value remeasurement of our warrant liability and the warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.
11. Segment Information
We have one reportable segment, Toast, Inc., consisting of a comprehensive platform of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products, financial technology solutions, including integrated payment processing, restaurant-grade hardware, and a broad ecosystem of third-party partners. We manage the business activities on a consolidated basis. The types of software and services from which we generate revenue are described under our “Revenue Recognition” policy within our “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as consolidated net income (loss). The
16
CODM does not use any segment asset measures to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources.
The following table sets out our measure of profit or loss and significant segment expenses (in millions):

(2) Other segment items include restructuring and restructuring-related expenses, interest income, net, change in fair value of warrant liability, and income tax (expense) benefit.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
As of September 30, 2025, our non-cancellable purchase obligations to hardware suppliers totaled $90 million, all of which is due within the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2025, our non-cancellable contractual commitments with our cloud service providers and other vendors totaled $136 million of which $64 million is due within the next 12 months and $72 million thereafter.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably. We establish accruals for losses that management deems to be probable and subject to reasonable estimates. We do not expect any claims with a reasonably possible adverse outcome to have a material impact on us, and, accordingly, have not accrued for any material claims.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if applicable. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Toast is a cloud-based, all-in-one digital technology platform purpose-built for the entire restaurant community. We provide a comprehensive platform of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products and financial technology solutions, including integrated payment processing, restaurant-grade hardware, and a broad ecosystem of third-party partners. We serve as the restaurant operating system, connecting front of house and back of house operations across service models including dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering, and retail.
We define a live location, or Location, as a unique location that has used Toast Point of Sale, or POS, to record transaction volumes above a minimum threshold, and has not been marked as a churned location as of the date of determination. A Location can use Toast payment services, which we refer to as a Toast Processing Location, or for select enterprise customers, not use Toast’s payment services, which we refer to as a Non-Toast Processing Location. Customers of legacy solutions provided by companies that we have acquired that do not use Toast POS, are not included in our Location count.
As of September 30, 2025, approximately 156,000 Locations, an increase of 23% year over year, processing approximately $186 billion of gross payment volume in the trailing 12 months, partnered with Toast to optimize operations, increase sales, engage guests, and maintain happy employees.
Seasonality and Other Factors
We experience seasonality in our financial technology solutions revenue, which is largely driven by the level of Gross Payment Volume, or GPV, processed through our platform. Moreover, our performance may be impacted by global financial, economic, and political events. For example, customers typically have greater sales during the warmer months, though this effect varies regionally, and customer sales can be impacted by seasonal needs of our customers (which may also impact the total number of Toast Processing Locations in such a period that contributes to our GPV). As a result, our financial technology solutions revenue per Toast Processing Location has historically been stronger in the second and third quarters. We believe that financial technology solutions revenue from both existing and potential future products will continue to represent a significant proportion of our overall revenue mix, and seasonality will continue to impact our results of operations. Our performance may also be impacted by geopolitical events, such as tariffs, which may influence consumer spending or restaurant operations. There is uncertainty as to when specific tariffs may go into effect and the impact higher tariffs may have on consumer demand or on our business. For further discussion of such potential impacts, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Key Business Metrics
We use the following key business metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in billions) | 2025 | 2024 | % Growth | 2025 | 2024 | % Growth | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gross Payment Volume (GPV) | $ | 51.5 | $ | 41.7 | 24 | % | $ | 143.6 | $ | 116.9 | 23 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| As of September 30, | |||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | % Growth | ||||||||||||||
| Annualized Recurring Run-Rate (ARR) | $ | 2,016 | $ | 1,554 | 30 | % | |||||||||||
Gross Payment Volume (GPV)
Gross Payment Volume represents the sum of total dollars processed through the Toast payments platform across Toast Processing Locations in a given period. GPV is a key measure of the scale of our platform, which in turn drives our financial performance. As our customers generate more sales and therefore more GPV, we generally see higher financial technology solutions revenue.
Annualized Recurring Run-Rate (ARR)
We monitor Annualized Recurring Run-Rate as a key operational measure of the scale of our subscription and payment processing services for both new and existing customers. To calculate this metric, we first calculate recurring run-rate on a monthly basis. Monthly Recurring Run-Rate, or MRR, is measured on the final day of each month as the sum of (i) our monthly billings of subscription services fees, which we refer to as the subscription component of MRR, and (ii) our in-month adjusted payments services fees, exclusive of estimated transaction-based costs, which we refer to as the payments component of MRR. MRR does not include fees derived from Toast Capital or related costs. MRR is also not burdened by the impact of SaaS credits offered. The MRR calculation includes all locations on the Toast platform and locations on legacy solutions, which have a negligible impact on ARR.
ARR is determined by taking the sum of (i) twelve times the subscription component of MRR and (ii) four times the trailing-three-month cumulative payments component of MRR. We believe this approach provides an indication of our scale, while also controlling for short-term fluctuations in payments volume. Our ARR may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction with our platform, pricing, competitive offerings, economic conditions, or overall changes in our customers’ and their guests’ spending levels. ARR is an operational measure, does not reflect our revenue or gross profit determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, and should be viewed independently of, and not combined with or substituted for, our revenue, gross profit, and other financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of our future or expected results.

The increase in subscription services costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily driven by a $4 million and $19 million increase, respectively, in amortization of capitalized software and a $5 million and $14 million increase, respectively, in employee-related costs.
The increase in financial technology solutions costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was due to an increase in GPV.

The increase in research and development expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs.
The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in bad debt expense.
The decrease in restructuring expenses during nine months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by significant restructuring and restructuring-related expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as part of the February 2024 Restructuring Plan. See Note 8 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Restructuring Plan.

The gain recognized in other income (expense), net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the one-time extinguishment of the warrant liabilities in connection with the Warrant Repurchase in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures described below to supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP metrics to provide investors insight into the information used by our management to evaluate our business and financial performance. We believe that these measures provide investors increased comparability of our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, net, income taxes and certain other items that are not considered to reflect our operating activities and performance within the ordinary course of business, such as restructuring and restructuring-related expenses, acquisition expenses, fair value adjustments on warrant liabilities, gain on warrant extinguishments, expenses related to early termination of leases (which includes associated asset impairments), and stock-based charitable contribution expense, as applicable. We have provided below a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA.
22
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors in comparing our financial performance to other companies and from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and interest income, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on their financing and capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, although depreciation expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new asset acquisitions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces the cash available to us; or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. The expenses and other items that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their financial results.

Subscription Services and Financial Technology Solutions Gross Profit (GAAP) and Non-GAAP Subscription Services and Financial Technology Solutions Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)
Non-GAAP Subscription Services and Financial Technology Solutions Gross Profit is defined as subscription services gross profit and financial technology solutions gross profit, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to view the resulting figures excluding the aforementioned non-cash charges because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and such amounts vary substantially from company to company depending on their financing and capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) and Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs (collectively referred to as capital expenditures). We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of our sources of liquidity and capital requirements that provides information to management and investors in evaluating the cash flow trends of our business. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.
Free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate free cash flow or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison. In addition, free cash flow does not reflect mandatory debt service and other non-discretionary expenditures that are required to be made under contractual commitments and does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for any given period.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. We also have access to external sources of liquidity through a credit facility as further described below. The following tables present selected financial information related to our liquidity:

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
The net increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $450 million (which excludes changes in the balance of restricted cash) and cash provided by financing activities of $70 million, offset by cash used in investing activities of $20 million.
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily driven by net income of $241 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a net loss of $13 million during the same period last year. This was partially offset by a decrease in non-cash adjustments primarily attributable to the movement of the change in fair value of our warrant liability.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily driven by a decrease in cash outflows related to capital expenditures.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year was primarily due to the nonrecurrence of the $61 million warrant repurchase in 2024.
25
We do not anticipate any material changes, or material changes in trends, related to our net working capital requirements, liquidity or cash flows in the near term, other than for items disclosed within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Debt
During 2021 we entered into a senior secured credit facility, or the 2021 Facility, which we subsequently amended on March 2, 2023, to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR. On May 6, 2025, we amended and restated our 2021 Facility to increase the available revolving commitments from $330 million to $350 million and to extend the term of the 2021 Facility to May 6, 2030. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaled $4 million. As of September 30, 2025, our total available borrowing capacity under the 2021 Facility was $346 million.
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2024, we announced the authorization of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares of our Class A common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock, and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased may depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 2 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $54 million.
Dilution
We calculate our fully diluted share count on an unweighted basis taking our total outstanding share count in addition to unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock units, shares reserved for charitable donations and other securities that can be converted to common stock, such as our warrants to purchase common stock. As of September 30, 2025, our fully diluted share count was as follows:
(shares, in millions) | September 30, 2025 (1) | ||||
Class A and B common stock issued and outstanding | 587 | ||||
Options to purchase Class A common stock and Class B common stock | 21 | ||||
Unvested restricted stock units | 17 | ||||
Warrants to purchase common stock | 1 | ||||
| Shares reserved for charitable donations | 3 | ||||
Total fully diluted share count | 629 | ||||
(1) Share amounts presented above do not give effect to potential repurchases of common stock under the treasury stock method.
For further information see Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity" and Note 10, “Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.
Other Capital Requirements
Expected working and other capital requirements are described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” At September 30, 2025, other than for the changes disclosed in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Quarterly Report, there have been no other material changes to our expected working and other capital requirements described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with our available borrowing capacity under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months, including planned capital expenditures, strategic transactions, and investment commitments that we may enter into from time to time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as credit risk on accounts receivable and our loan servicing activities. Our exposure to market and credit risk has not changed materially since the presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two, or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any litigation or claims that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. We are, from time to time, party to litigation and subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of the defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our business, operations, and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the Annual Report, together with all of the other information in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
In September 2025, we issued and donated 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment to an independent donor advised fund to further our philanthropic goals through our Toast.org initiative, for consideration consisting of the benefit to the Company related to the purpose of the independent donor advised fund. The offer, sale, and issuance of the securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our purchases of our common stock in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 were:

(1) Average Price Paid Per Share excludes cash paid for commissions.
(2) On February 15, 2024, we announced the authorization of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of shares in our Class A common stock, in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at our discretion.
