Gross profit retention rate is calculated as the year-over-year gross profit growth of a quarterly seller cohort, averaged over the last four quarters (excluding gross profit from hardware, Gift Cards, Caviar, 25
and Weebly prior to the acquisition). We do not include hardware or gift cards because they are typically non-recurring in nature, and we view hardware as an acquisition tool and not a profit center for our
business. Each of our quarterly and annual cohorts had exhibited positive overall retention on aggregate from their date of onboarding through December 31, 2020.

Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by dividing a given Cash App monthly cohort’s cumulative variable profit by acquisition spend for the initial month when onboarded. For a more comprehensive 33
definition of cohort variable profit and acquisition spend, please see Appendix.
ROIs are presented for the monthly periods from January 2017 through November 2020, using actual monthly acquisition spend for each period and not annual averages, and ROIs are impacted by the timing
of acquisition expenses during the year. Payback periods for monthly Cash App cohorts have been less than 12 months on average from 2017 through 2020.

Slide 7:
“Businesses” in the US is based on employer and non-employer firms with less than $100 million in annual gross receipts in select industry verticals based on 2012 U.S. Census data. “Businesses" also assumes a 3% share
for Square of the estimated number of informal economy businesses, based on estimated U.S. volume from informal businesses based on IMF’s estimated 8% share for informal economy from 1991 through 2015 applied to
US 2019 GDP, and applying an average assumed business size of $50,000 based on the average size of non-employer firms in the 2012 U.S. Census.
“Gross Receipts” is based on U.S. Census data regarding gross receipts for these “Businesses” as of 2012, adjusted for inflation through 2019 based on CPI from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“US TAM Opportunity” is calculated as sum of "Transaction Profit" and "Software", "Square Capital", and "Financial Services" revenue opportunities on subsequent slides.

Slide 8:
“Transaction Profit” opportunity is calculated by multiplying “Gross Receipts” opportunity by The Nilson Report’s estimate of card payments at 65% of 2018 U.S. consumer payment volume (as of December 2019), and
multiplying by Square’s average transaction margin as a percentage of GPV of approximately 1%.
“Software” revenue opportunity is calculated by multiplying select employer and non-employer firms producing less than $100 million in annual gross receipts in select relevant industry verticals based on 2012 U.S.
Census data by Square’s annualized software revenue per existing seller by product based on three months ending January 2020, or forecasted revenue per seller for products with recent price changes. Software
products include: Restaurants, Appointments, Retail, Marketing, Loyalty, Payroll, Team Management, Square Online Store.
“Square Capital” revenue opportunity is calculated by multiplying the sum of FDIC’s $232B of U.S. small business loans under $250,000 outstanding as of December 31, 2019 by the average of Goldman Sachs’ estimated
revenue rate on small business loans of 4% to 6% as of 2015.
“Financial Services” revenue opportunity is the sum of estimated Instant Transfers and Square Card opportunities. Instant Transfers opportunity is calculated by multiplying Square’s estimated average Instant Transfer
volume per seller in 2H 2019 and pricing of 1.5% on volume by Square’s estimated blended attach rate on the “Businesses” opportunity with less than $250K in gross receipts. Square Card opportunity is calculated based
on The Nilson Report’s estimates for 2019 US debit and prepaid spend, as of February 2020, applied to Forbes’ estimated share of business card spend to calculate overall business spend. Forbes’ estimate for businesses
with credit cards was applied to 65M total businesses from “Businesses” opportunity plus informal economy businesses, with informal economy businesses based on IMF’s estimated 8% share for informal economy from
1991 through 2015 applied to US 2019 GDP and divided by an assumed average business size of $50,000 based on the median non-employer seller size based on US Census data. These were used to calculate average
spend per business, which was then applied to the “Businesses” opportunity for less than $20M in gross receipts and a blended interchange rate assumption based on Mastercard’s public interchange rates.

Slide 9:
“Transaction Profit in Current International Markets” opportunity is calculated using the $2.9T of total estimated 2019 card payment volume across Australia, Canada, Japan, and United Kingdom based on
Euromonitor’s 2018 estimates and forecasted based on Euromonitors 2018 growth in these markets, multiplied by Square’s estimated 55% addressable share of card volume in the U.S. (based on the $3.9T of addressable
card volume relative to $7T in overall card spend) and applying Square’s average transaction profit margin of approximately 1%. Square’s share of card volume in the U.S. is based on “Gross Receipts” opportunity relative
to The Nilson Report’s estimate of total 2018 U.S. estimated card volume (as of December 2019).
Definitions
Slide 11:
“Sending” volume opportunity is the sum of estimated P2P and micro-merchants volume opportunities. “P2P volume opportunity” is calculated based on U.S. Census data on adult population as of 2018 multiplied by
estimated monthly P2P volumes per individual, which is the sum of Cash App internal average volume per monthly active, added to estimates for Zelle and Venmo monthly volume per customer based on respective public
disclosures as of Q4 2019. “Micro-merchants volume opportunity" is the sum of gross receipts for employer and non-employer firms with less than $250,000 in annual gross receipts in select industry verticals based on
2012 U.S. Census data, as well as estimated U.S. volume from informal businesses based on IMF’s estimated 8% share for informal economy from 1991 through 2015 applied to US 2019 GDP.
“Spending” volume opportunity is calculated using The Nilson Report’s estimates for 2018 US debit and prepaid spend (as of December 2019).
“Investing” volume opportunity is calculated based on $3.6T in balance sheet assets for registered broker-dealers serving retail customers according to the S.E.C. Chairman as of May 2018, adjusted for an assumed 16-
month average holding period of individual investors.

Slide 12:
“Sending” revenue opportunity is based on the approximate percentage of Cash App’s sending revenue as a percentage of peer-to-peer volumes, applied to the peer-to-peer portion of the “Sending” volume opportunity.
“Spending” revenue opportunity is calculated based on “Spending” volume opportunity multiplied by Visa’s public unregulated prepaid interchange rates as of April 2019 applied to Cash Card’s card-present vs. card-not-
present transaction mix by volume and The Nilson Report’s 2018 average debit transaction size (as of December 2019).
“Investing” gross profit opportunity is calculated based on bitcoin USD-denominated volume for 2019 from CoinMetrics multiplied by Square’s bitcoin gross profit as a percentage of bitcoin revenue for full-year 2019.

Slide 31:
Cash App payback period is calculated as the length of time for a cohort’s cumulative variable profit to exceed acquisition marketing spend during the period when the cohort was onboarded. Acquisition marketing
spend (or "acquisition spend") includes acquisition marketing, referral expenses and referral contra-revenue for a given period, and excludes costs for P2P processing and risk loss. Cohort variable profit is calculated as
gross profit across Cash App transaction-based profit, Cash Card gross profit including interchange and ATM withdrawals, Instant Deposit gross profit for Cash App, bitcoin gross profit and less certain variable sales and
marketing expenses, including P2P processing and risk loss. A Cash App cohort represents the new customers onboarded to Cash App during a given period. Cumulative cohort variable profit is cohort variable profit
over a given period.

Adjusted EBITDA—Reconciliation to GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income (loss), adjusted to eliminate the effect of Starbucks transaction-based revenue and Starbucks transaction-based costs, before interest
income and expense, provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, other income and expense, the litigation settlement with Robert E. Morley in 2016, the gain or
loss on disposal of property and equipment, and impairment of intangible assets. We also exclude certain costs associated with acquisitions that are not normal recurring operating expenses, including amounts paid to
redeem acquirees’ unvested stock-based compensation awards, and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs, and we add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue and deferred cost adjustment, which was
written down to fair value in purchase accounting. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this document because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future
operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to
investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our
business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. We also make these adjustments for non-GAAP operating expenses, as applicable.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, and should be considered as supplemental in nature to, and is not meant as a substitute for, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The prior table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

We have included total net revenue excluding Caviar and gross profit excluding Caviar because they are key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and
make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that total net revenue excluding Caviar and gross profit excluding Caviar provide
useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-
period comparisons of our business, as it removes the impact of a business that was disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2019.
