NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( Unaudited )
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Block, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Block" or the "Company") creates tools that empower businesses, sellers, and individuals to participate in the economy. Block is comprised of two reportable segments, Square and Cash App. Square is a cohesive commerce ecosystem that helps sellers start, run, and grow their businesses, including enabling sellers to accept card payments, provide reporting and analytics, and facilitating next-day settlement. Square’s point-of-sale software and other business services help sellers manage inventory, locations, and employees; access financial services; engage buyers; build a website or online store; and grow sales. Cash App is an ecosystem of financial products and services to help individuals manage their money by providing financial tools that allow individuals to store, send, receive, spend, save and invest their money. Cash App seeks to redefine the world’s relationship with money by making it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
On January 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Afterpay Limited (“Afterpay”), a global buy now pay later ("BNPL") platform, to strengthen its position to better deliver compelling financial products and services that expand access to more consumers and drive incremental revenue for merchants of all sizes. See Note 8, Acquisitions for further details.
Block was founded in 2009 and has offices globally. The Company does not designate a headquarters location as it adopted a distributed work model in 2021.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Block and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interests are recorded as a noncontrolling interest, which is reported as a component of stockholders' equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other future annual or interim period.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be materially affected. The Company bases its estimates on current and past experience, to the extent that historical experience is predictive of future performance and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.
11
Estimates, judgments, and assumptions in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to accrued transaction losses, contingencies, valuation of loans held for sale, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, determination of allowance for loan loss reserves for loans held for investment, determination of allowance for credit losses for consumer receivables, pre-acquisition contingencies associated with business combinations, allocation of acquired goodwill to segments, assessing the likelihood of adverse outcomes from claims and disputes, income and other taxes, operating and financing lease right-of-use assets and related liabilities, and share-based compensation.
The Company's estimates of valuation of loans held for sale, allowance for credit losses associated with consumer receivables, and accrued transaction losses are based on historical experience, adjusted for market data relevant to the current economic environment. The Company will continue to update its estimates as developments occur and additional information is obtained. Refer to Note 5, Fair Value Measurements for further details on amortized cost over fair value of the loans, Note 6, Consumer Receivables, net for further details on consumer receivables, and Note 10, Other Consolidated Balance Sheet Components (Current) for further details on transaction losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had no customer that accounted for greater than 10% of total net revenue.
The Company had three third-party payment processors that represented approximately 43 %, 31 % and 11 % of settlements receivable as of June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, there were two parties that represented approximately 54 % and 31 % of settlements receivable. In both periods, all other third-party payment processors were insignificant. Certain of the Company's products are reliant on third-party service providers such as partner banks, card issuers, and payment service providers. The Company's relationships with third-party service providers may result in operational concentration risks for some of these products.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable debt securities, settlements receivable, customer funds, consumer receivables, loans held for sale, and loans held for investment. To mitigate the risk of concentration associated with cash and cash equivalents, as well as restricted cash, funds are held with creditworthy institutions and, at certain times, temporarily swept into insured programs overnight to reduce single firm concentration risk. Amounts on deposit may exceed federal deposit insurance limits. The associated risk of concentration for marketable debt securities is mitigated by holding a diversified portfolio of highly rated investments. Settlements receivable are amounts due from well-established payment processing companies and normally take one or two business days to settle, which mitigates the associated risk of concentration. The associated risk of concentration for loans and consumer receivables is partially mitigated by credit evaluations that are performed prior to facilitating the offering of loans and receivables and ongoing performance monitoring of the Company’s loan customers.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and in cluded in sales and marketing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total advertising costs wer e $ 116.1 million and $ 205.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $ 157.7 million and $ 314.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company also records services, incentives, and other costs to acquire customers that are not directly related to a revenue generating transaction as sales and marketing expenses, as the Company considers these to be marketing costs to encourage the usage of Cash App. These expenses include, but are not limited to, Cash App peer-to-peer processing costs and related transaction losses, card issuance costs, customer referral bonuses, and promotional giveaways. These costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded $ 235.3 million and $ 479.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $ 205.6 million and $ 407.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, for such expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method ("ASU 2022-01") related to the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting. The amendments allow nonprepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedge using the portfolio layer method. ASU 2022-01 also allows for multiple hedged layers to be designated for a single closed portfolio of financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, and has applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) related to troubled debt restructuring and vintage disclosures for financing receivables. The amendments eliminate recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings for creditors and requires entities to evaluate if the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. ASU 2022-02 also enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and requires disclosure of current period write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023, and has applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03") related to equity securities. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. An entity is prohibited from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. ASU 2022-03 also requires specific disclosures related to equity securities that are subject to contractual restrictions, including the fair value of such equity securities, the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions, and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures its cash equivalents, customer funds, short-term and long-term marketable debt securities, and marketable equity investments at fair value. The Company classifies these investments within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The Company measures its safeguarding obligation liability related to bitcoin held for other parties at the fair value of the bitcoin that the Company holds for other parties and classifies the liability within Level 2 because the Company uses observable market prices of the underlying bitcoin as an input for the valuation. The Company also classifies its safeguarding asset related to bitcoin held for other parties within Level 2, unless the asset's carrying amount is adjusted to reflect any actual or potential safeguarding loss events, in which case it would be classified within Level 3. The Company was not aware of any actual or possible safeguarding loss events as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

NOTE 6 - CONSUMER RECEIVABLES, NET
Consumer receivables represent amounts due from consumers for outstanding installment payments on orders processed on the Company's BNPL platform. Consumer receivables are classified as held for investment. These receivables are typically interest free and are generally due within 14 to 56 days.
The Company closely monitors credit quality for consumer receivables to manage and evaluate its related exposure to credit risk. The criteria the Company monitors when assessing the credit quality and risk of its consumer receivables portfolio is primarily based on internal risk assessments, as they provide insight into customer risk profiles and are useful as indicators of potential future credit losses. Consumer receivables are internally rated as "Pass" or "Classified." Pass rated consumer receivables generally consist of consumer receivables that are current or up to 60 days past due. Classified consumer receivables are generally comprised of consumer receivables that are greater than 60 days past due and have a higher risk of default. Internal risk ratings are reviewed and, generally, updated at least once a year. As of June 30, 2023, the amortized cost of Pass rated consumer receivables was $ 1.7 billion and the amount of Classified consumer receivables was less than $ 0.1 billion.
18
The following table presents an aging analysis of the amortized cost of consumer receivables by delinquency status (in thousands):
June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Non-delinquent loans $ 1,463,804 $ 1,643,874
1 - 60 days past due 221,029 295,830
61 - 90 days past due 22,489 20,612
90+ days past due 74,030 62,134
Total amortized cost $ 1,781,352 $ 2,022,450
The amount listed as 1 - 60 days past due in the above table includes $ 155.6 million and $ 224.9 million of cash in transit as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which reflects ongoing repayments from consumers that have been sent from consumers’ bank accounts but have not yet been received at the Company’s bank account as of the date of the financial statements. This cash in transit as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 represents 8.7 % and 11.1 %, respectively, of the total amortized cost of consumer receivables.
For consumer receivables, an allowance for credit losses is determined based on the probability of a default event occurring over the life of the receivables. When a consumer has not paid by the due date, it is an indication that credit risk has increased. As a result, the allowance for credit losses for that receivable is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime allowance for credit losses for increased credit risk. Lifetime allowance for credit losses is the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the receivables. The allowance for credit losses on consumer receivables is a valuation account that is deducted from the carrying value of the consumer receivables.
Consumer receivables are charged off when they are over 180 days past due and the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovery. When consumer receivables are charged off, the Company recognizes the charge against the allowance for credit losses. While the Company expects collections at that point to be unlikely, the Company may recover amounts from the respective consumers. Any subsequent recoveries following charge-off are credited to transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period they were recovered. The amount of recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 were immaterial.

(i) Consumer receivables acquired from Afterpay that reflected a more-than-insignificant deterioration of credit from origination were considered purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") receivables. For PCD consumer receivables, the initial estimate of expected credit losses was recognized in the allowance for credit losses on the date of acquisition using the same methodology as other consumer receivables.
NOTE 7 - LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND SALE
Loans Held for Investment
In April 2021, the Company began originating loans in the U.S. through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Square Financial Services ("SFS"). The Company sells the majority of the loans to institutional investors with a portion retained on its balance sheet. Loans retained by the Company are classified as held for investment as the Company has both the intent and ability to hold them for the foreseeable future, until maturity, or until payoff. The Company’s intent and ability in the future may change based on changes in business strategies, the economic environment, and market conditions. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held $ 224.3 million and $ 124.0 million, respectively, as loans held for investment, net of allowance, included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10, Other Consolidated Balance Sheet Components (Current) for more details.
Loans held for investment are recorded at amortized cost, less an allowance for potential uncollectible amounts. Amortized cost basis represents principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income, unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans, premiums or discounts on purchased loans and charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses and amount of charge offs recorded as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were all immaterial.
The Company considers loans that are greater than 60 days past due to be delinquent, and loans 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming. Loans that are 120 days or more past due are generally considered to be uncollectible and are written off. When a loan is identified as nonperforming, recognition of income is discontinued. Loans are restored to performing status after total overdue unpaid amounts are repaid and the Company has reasonable assurance that performance under the terms of the loan will continue. As of June 30, 2023, the amount of loans that were identified as nonperforming loans was immaterial.
20
The Company closely monitors economic conditions and loan performance trends to assess and manage its exposure to credit risk. The criteria the Company monitors when assessing the credit quality and risk of its loan portfolio is primarily based on internal risk ratings, as they provide insight into borrower risk profiles and are useful as indicators of potential future credit losses. Loans are internally rated as "Pass" or "Classified". Pass rated loans generally consist of loans that are current or up to 60 days past due. Classified loans generally comprise of loans that are 60 days or greater past due and have a higher risk of default. Internal risk ratings are reviewed and, generally, updated at least once a year. As of June 30, 2023, the amortized cost of Pass rated loans was $ 234.6 million and the amount of Classified loans was immaterial.
Loans Held for Sale
The Company classifies loans as held for sale when there is an available market for such loans and it is the Company’s intent to sell all of its rights, title, and interest in these loans to third-party investors. Loans held for sale primarily include Square Loans and Cash App Borrow products. Square Loans are loans facilitated by SFS to qualified Square sellers, while Cash App Borrow is a credit product for consumers that allows customers to access short-term loans for a small fee. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had $ 499.3 million and $ 474.0 million, respectively, of loans held for sale, as disclosed in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company aggregates loans held for sale by the intended customer of the loan product. Commercial loans held for sale include Square Loans, Consumer loans held for sale include loans initiated through Cash App Borrow, and Other loans held for sale include loans outside of consumer and commercial loans.
The following table presents the Company’s loans held for sale aggregated by category as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands):
June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022

NOTE 8 - ACQUISITIONS
Afterpay
On January 31, 2022 (February 1, 2022 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Company completed the acquisition of Afterpay, a global BNPL platform. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 113,617,352 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The shares issued included a deemed vested component of outstanding employee awards, based on the ratio of time served in relation to the vesting term of each award, with the unvested portion being replaced with Block’s unvested replacement awards, with the same terms. The aggregate fair value of the shares issued was $ 13.8 billion based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the acquisition date, of which $ 66.3 million was attributed to acceleration of various share-based arrangements and was accounted for as an expense immediately post-acquisition, included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of the completion of the acquisition, certain convertible notes with an outstanding principal amount of AU $ 1.5 billion (U.S. $ 1.1 billion based on the closing exchange rate on the acquisition date) remained outstanding, and were redeemed on March 4, 2022.

(i) Investment in non-marketable equity securities represents the Company's investments in equity of non-public entities. These investments are measured using the measurement alternative and are therefore carried at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments are recorded within other expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses were immaterial as of June 30, 2023.
(ii) As of June 30, 2023, the Company has purchased a cumulative $ 220.0 million in bitcoin for investment purposes. Investment in bitcoin is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and does not include any bitcoin held for other parties, which is further described in Note 12, Bitcoin Held for Other Parties . Investment in bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. Impairment losses cannot be recovered for any subsequent increase in fair value until the sale of the asset. The Company recorded no impairment losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the cumulative impairment charges to date were $ 117.7 million and the fair value of the investment in bitcoin was $ 244.6 million based on observable market prices, which was $ 142.1 million in excess of the Company's carrying value of $ 102.5 million after impairment charges.
NOTE 12 - BITCOIN HELD FOR OTHER PARTIES
The Company allows its Cash App customers to store their bitcoin in the Company’s digital wallets free of charge. The Company also holds an immaterial amount of bitcoin from select trading partners to facilitate bitcoin transactions for customers on Cash App. Other than bitcoin, the Company does not hold or store any other types of crypto-assets for customers or trading partners. The Company holds the cryptographic key information and maintains the internal recordkeeping of the bitcoin held for other parties. The Company's contractual arrangements state that its customers and trading partners retain legal ownership of the bitcoin; have the right to sell, pledge, or transfer the bitcoin; and also benefit from the rewards and bear the risks associated with the ownership, including as a result of any bitcoin price fluctuations. The customer also bears the risk of loss as a result of fraud or theft, unless the loss was caused by the Company’s gross negligence or the Company’s willful misconduct. The Company does not use any of the bitcoin custodied for customers or trading partners as collateral for any of the Company’s loans or other financing arrangements; nor does it lend or pledge bitcoin held for others to any third parties. The Company occasionally engages third-party custodians to store and safeguard bitcoin on the Company's behalf. As of June 30, 2023, an immaterial amount of the bitcoin was held by third-party custodians on the Company's behalf.
25
The Company records a bitcoin safeguarding obligation liability and a corresponding bitcoin safeguarding asset based on the fair value of the bitcoin held for other parties at each reporting date in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 ( "SAB 121"). The Company was not aware of any actual or possible safeguarding loss events as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, and accordingly, the bitcoin safeguarding obligation liability and the associated bitcoin safeguarding asset were recorded at the same value.
The following table summarizes the Company’s bitcoin held for other parties (in thousands, except number of bitcoin):

Convertible Notes due in 2026 and 2027
On November 13, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 1.2 billion of convertible senior notes comprised of $ 575.0 million of convertible senior notes due 2026 ("2026 Convertible Notes") and $ 575.0 million of convertible senior notes due 2027 ("2027 Convertible Notes"). The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on May 1, 2026, unless earlier converted or repurchased, and bear a zero rate of interest. The 2027 Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased, and bear interest at a rate of 0.25 % payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
The circumstances to allow the holders to convert their 2026 Convertible Notes and 2027 Convertible Notes were not met during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, no principal had converted and the if-converted value did not exceed the outstanding principal amount on either the 2026 Convertible Notes or 2027 Convertible Notes.
Convertible Notes due in 2025
On March 5, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 1.0 billion of convertible senior notes ("2025 Convertible Notes"). The 2025 Convertible Notes mature on March 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased, and bear interest at a rate of 0.125 % payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The circumstances to allow the holders to convert their 2025 Convertible Notes were not met during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, certain holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes had converted an immaterial aggregate principal amount of their 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company has settled the conversions through the issuance of an immaterial amount of shares of the Company's Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2025 Convertible Notes did not exceed the outstanding principal amount.
27
Convertible Notes due in 2023
On May 25, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 862.5 million of convertible senior notes ("2023 Convertible Notes"). As of the maturity date on May 15, 2023, certain holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes had converted an aggregate principal amount of $ 401.9 million of their 2023 Convertible Notes, none of which was converted in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company settled the conversions through the issuance of 5.2 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock and paid a total of $ 461.8 million in cash to settle the remaining unconverted principal balance, and interest, as of May 15, 2023.
Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2023 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions ("2023 Convertible Note Hedges") with certain financial institution counterparties ("2023 Note Hedge Counterparties") whereby the Company had the option to purchase a total of approximately 11.1 million shares of its Class A common stock at a price of approximately $ 77.85 per share. The total cost of the 2023 Convertible Note Hedges was $ 172.6 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants ("2023 Warrants") to the 2023 Note Hedge Counterparties whereby the 2023 Note Hedge Counterparties has the option to purchase a total of 11.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of approximately $ 109.26 per share. The Company received $ 112.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the 2023 Convertible Note Hedges and sale of the 2023 Warrants were intended to reduce dilution from the conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company was required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted 2023 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from approximately $ 77.85 per share to approximately $ 109.26 per share. As these instruments are considered indexed to the Company's own stock and are considered equity classified, the 2023 Convertible Note Hedges and 2023 Warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives, and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the 2023 Convertible Note Hedges and 2023 Warrants were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also exercised a pro-rata portion of the 2023 Convertible Note Hedges to offset the shares of the Company's Class A common stock issued to settle the conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Note Hedges were settled and no longer outstanding as of June 30, 2023. The Company had received 3.0 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock from the 2023 Note Hedge Counterparties, of which none were received in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

B) Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2020, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with certain lenders, which provided a $ 500.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2020 Credit Facility") maturing in May 2023. On May 28, 2020, the Company amended the credit agreement for the 2020 Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") to permit the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Square Capital, LLC (“Square Capital”), to incur indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 500.0 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) authorized under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. In connection with its convertible debt offerings in November 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement on November 9, 2020 to permit convertible debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $ 3.6 billion. On January 28, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the amount of indebtedness that Square Capital is permitted to incur pursuant to the PPPLF from an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 500.0 million to an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 1.0 billion. On May 25, 2021, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the loans advanced to May 1, 2024. On January 28, 2022, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement to permit certain existing obligations of Afterpay and its subsidiaries to remain outstanding as of and after the completion of the Afterpay acquisition. On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for a new tranche of unsecured revolving loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 100.0 million. On June 9, 2023, the Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the loans advanced to June 9, 2028 and provide for additional unsecured revolving loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 175.0 million. The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a quarterly minimum liquidity amount (consisting of the sum of Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents plus Marketable Securities, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $ 250.0 million, tested on a quarterly basis. The Company is obligated to pay customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type including a commitment fee of 0.10 % to 0.20 % per annum on the undrawn portion available under the 2020 Credit Facility, depending on the Company's total net leverage ratio. To date, no funds have been drawn and no letters of credit have been issued under the 2020 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, $ 775.0 million remained available for draw. The Company incurred immaterial unused commitment fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with the 2020 Credit Facility.
Loans under the 2020 Credit Facility bear interest at the Company's option of (i) an annual rate based on the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") or (ii) a base rate. Loans based on Term SOFR shall bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus a margin of between 1.25 % and 1.75 %, depending on the Company's total net leverage ratio. Loans based on the base rate shall bear interest at a rate based on the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, and Term SOFR with a tenor of one-month plus 1.00 %, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 0.75 %, depending on the Company's total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, restricts the Company and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or consolidate or make certain dispositions, pay dividends and make distributions, enter into restrictive agreements, enter into agreements with affiliates, and make certain investments and acquisitions.
C) Warehouse Funding Facilities
Following the acquisition of Afterpay, the Company assumed Afterpay's existing warehouse funding facilities. The Company has financing arrangements with financial institutions in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom (collectively, the “Warehouse Facilities”). The Warehouse Facilities have been arranged utilizing wholly-owned and consolidated entities formed for the sole purpose of financing the origination of consumer receivables to partly fund the Company's BNPL platform. Borrowings under the Warehouse Facilities are secured against the respective consumer receivables.
These Warehouse Facilities have maturity dates ranging from December 2023 to December 2024 . As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate commitment amount of the Warehouse Facilities, using the respective exchange rates at period-end, was $ 1.7 billion on a revolving basis, of which $ 0.8 billion was drawn and $ 0.9 billion remained available. All facilities contain portfolio parameters based on performance of the underlying consumer receivables, which each respective region has satisfied as of June 30, 2023. None of the Warehouse Facilities contain corporate financial covenants.
29
All Warehouse Facilities are on a variable rate basis which aligns closely to the weighted average life of the consumer receivables they finance. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at (i) a base rate aligned to either the local risk free rate, such as Term SOFR and the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") or similar, and (ii) a margin which is set for the term of the availability period. In addition, each facility requires payment of immaterial commitment fees.
The table below summarizes the amounts drawn on these facilities by year of maturity (in thousands):
June 30, 2023
2023 $ 339,727
2024 480,443
Total funding debt, net of deferred debt issuance costs $ 820,170
NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $ 3.7 million and $ 5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to an income tax expense of $ 1.3 million and income tax benefit of $ 0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The difference between income before income tax at the U.S. federal statutory rate and the income tax benefit recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance in certain foreign jurisdictions, offset by the current year loss of an entity with deferred tax liabilities available to recognize those losses in future periods.
The difference between the income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and the income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and the income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily relates to the inclusion of an entity in the annual effective income tax rate that has a current year loss with deferred tax liabilities available to recognize those losses in future periods, a change in the valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions, and a change in the mix of income by jurisdiction.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and certain foreign tax jurisdictions. The tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 is calculated on a jurisdictional basis. The Company estimated the worldwide income tax provision using the estimated annual effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company’s effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of forecasted pre-tax earnings in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, changes in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition and de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company retained a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets depends primarily on its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable in future periods may change as management continues to reassess the underlying factors it uses in estimating future taxable income.

The Company maintains two share-based employee compensation plans: the 2009 Stock Plan ("2009 Plan") and the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan ("2015 Plan"). The 2015 Plan serves as the successor to the 2009 Plan. The 2015 Plan became effective as of November 17, 2015. Outstanding awards under the 2009 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan. Since November 17, 2015, no additional awards have been nor will be granted in the future under the 2009 Plan. As of June 30, 2023, the total number of shares subject to stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), and restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding under the 2009 Plan was 2,651,384 shares.
31
Under the 2015 Plan, shares of the Company's Class A common stock are reserved for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutory stock options ("ISOs" and "NSOs", respectively), RSAs, RSUs, performance shares, and stock bonuses to qualified employees, directors, and consultants. The awards must be granted at a price per share not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. Initially, 30,000,000 shares were reserved under the 2015 Plan and any shares subject to options or other similar awards granted under the 2009 Plan that expire, are forfeited, are repurchased by the Company, or otherwise terminate unexercised, will become available under the 2015 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan has been and will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 40,000,000 shares, (ii) 5 % of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such number of shares determined by the administrator of the plan. The administrator consists of the board of directors who then delegates the responsibilities to the compensation committee. As of June 30, 2023, the total number of shares subject to stock options, RSAs, and RSUs outstanding under the 2015 Plan was 46,483,117 , and 125,416,973 shares were available for future issuance.

NOTE 16 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. In periods when the Company reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 17 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In July 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in St. Louis, Missouri, from an affiliate of one of the Company’s co-founders and current member of its board of directors, Mr. Jim McKelvey, for a term of 15.5 years, with options to extend the lease term for two five-year terms. The lease possession date varied by floor, beginning in May 2020. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had recorded right-of-use assets of $ 10.6 million and associated lease liabilities of $ 17.1 million related to this lease arrangement.
Under the lease agreement, the Company also has an option to terminate the lease for up to 50 % of the leased space any time between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2026, as well as an option to terminate the lease for the entire property on January 1, 2034. Termination penalties specified in the lease agreement will apply if the Company exercises any of the options to terminate the lease. On January 2, 2023, the Company notified the lessor of its intention to exercise the early termination option with respect to approximately 48 % of the leased space, effective December 31, 2023. As a result, the Company paid a termination penalty of approximately $ 5.2 million to exercise the option.
NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
The Company is currently subject to, and may in the future be involved in, various litigation matters, legal claims, investigations, and regulatory proceedings.
The Company received Civil Investigative Demands (“CIDs”) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), as well as from Attorneys General from multiple states, seeking the production of information related to, among other things, Cash App’s handling of customer complaints and disputes. The Company is cooperating with the CFPB and the state Attorneys General in connection with these CIDs. The Company has accrued a liability for an estimated amount in connection with these CIDs in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies: Loss Contingencies . The accrued amount was not material as of June 30, 2023. Given the status of these matters, it is not possible to reliably determine the range of potential liability in excess of the accrued amounts that could result from these investigations. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from litigation and regulatory proceedings and adjusts the financial statements based on such assessments. The eventual outcome of these matters may differ materially from the estimates the Company has currently accrued in the financial statements.
In addition, the Company is subject to various legal matters, investigations, subpoenas, inquiries or audits, claims, lawsuits and disputes, including with regulatory bodies and governmental agencies. For example, the Company received inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice shortly after the publication of a short seller report in March 2023. The Company believes the inquiries primarily relate to the allegations raised in the short seller report. The Company cannot at this time fairly estimate a reasonable range of exposure, if any, of the potential liability with respect to any of these matters. Although we may be subject to an adverse decision or settlement, the Company does not believe that the final disposition of any of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. However, the Company cannot give any assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and their resolution could be material to the Company's operating results.
Purchase Commitments
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into non-cancelable purchase obligations related to cloud computing infrastructure. The commitment amounts in the table below are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts.
35
As of June 30, 2023, the future minimum payments under the purchase commitments were as follows (in thousands):
Payments Due By Period
Remainder of 2023 $ 119,363
2024 300,554
2025 316,425
2026 263,300
2027 315,100
Total $ 1,314,742
Other Contingencies
The Company is under examination, or may be subject to examination, by several tax authorities. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to the Company's taxes or net operating losses with respect to years under examination, as well as subsequent periods. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations to determine the adequacy of the Company's provision for direct and indirect taxes. The Company continues to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the effect, if any, on the Company's provision for direct and indirect taxes.
Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with the Company’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust the Company's provision for direct and indirect taxes in the period such resolution occurs.
NOTE 19 - SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The Company reports its segments to reflect the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews and assesses performance. Accordingly, the Company has two reportable segments, Square and Cash App. The financial results of the Company's BNPL platform have been allocated equally to the Cash App and Square segments as management has concluded that the BNPL platform will contribute equally to both the Cash App and Square platforms. Further, Afterpay does not have a segment manager who reports to the CODM. Rather, the operations of Afterpay are managed by the segment managers of Cash App and Square, who are responsible for allocating resources and evaluating the performance of Afterpay. Products and services that are not assigned to a specific reportable segment, including but not limited to TIDAL, TBD, and Spiral, are aggregated and presented within a general corporate and other category. Square and Cash App are defined as follows:
• Cash App includes the financial tools available to individuals within the mobile Cash App, including peer-to-peer payments, bitcoin and stock investments. Cash App also includes Cash App Card, which is linked to customer stored balances that customers can use to pay for purchases or withdraw funds from an ATM.
• Square includes managed payment services, software solutions, hardware, and financial services offered to sellers, excluding those that involve Cash App.
36
The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are revenue and gross profit. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data, and therefore such information is not included. The following tables present information on the reportable segments revenue and segment gross profit (in thousands):
