PayPal Announces Second Quarter Results; Payment Volume Growth Drives Second Quarter Revenues of $53.8 million.
Business Editors
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2002--
GAAP earnings of $0.01 per share;
pro forma earnings of $0.09 per share
PayPal, Inc. (Nasdaq:PYPL; www.paypal.com), a leading Internet
payment service, today reported financial results for the fiscal
second quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $53.8 million, an
increase of 173% over the $19.7 million in revenues in the second
quarter of 2001. PayPal reported $529,000 of net income for the
quarter, or $0.01 per diluted share on a Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) basis, compared to a net loss of $27.7 million, or
$4.47 per share, for the same period last year. For the quarter,
PayPal's pro forma after-tax net income, which excludes non-cash
expenses related to stock-based compensation and non-recurring charges
resulting from PayPal's exiting of leased facilities in Palo Alto,
California, amounted to $5.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share,
compared with a pro forma net loss of $7.2 million, or $1.17 per
share, for the second quarter of 2001.
"The strong growth of PayPal's global network led to record
payment volume and increased revenues," said Peter Thiel, co-founder
and CEO of PayPal. "We continue to see broad adoption in e-commerce --
both auction and fixed price, both in the U.S. and internationally."
Business Outlook
PayPal estimates third quarter 2002 revenues could range from $56
million to $57 million. Excluding non-cash expenses related to
stock-based compensation and non-recurring charges related to the
pending acquisition of the company by eBay(TM), we estimate that pro
forma after-tax net income for the third quarter could be $0.09 per
diluted share, with between 64 million and 65 million fully diluted
shares projected for the quarter. These estimates are based on an
assumed tax rate of 38%.
PayPal affirms its forecast estimates issued on June 12 for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.
PayPal's business outlook can be obtained on the company's website
throughout the current quarter. PayPal disclaims any duty to update
its business outlook to reflect future developments and currently
expects not to update its outlook until the release of the company's
next earnings announcement; however, PayPal may update or remove any
portion of its business outlook at any time for any reason. The
business outlook should not be relied on as having continued accuracy
beyond the date of this release.
Key Operating Metrics
Second quarter revenues represent a 10% sequential increase from
PayPal's $48.8 million revenues during the first quarter of 2002.
These increased revenues resulted from 11% growth in PayPal's total
payment volume, from $1.46 billion in the first quarter of 2002 to
$1.62 billion in the second quarter of 2002. Second quarter 2002 total
payment volume represented 116% growth from $747 million in the second
quarter of 2001.
For the second quarter of 2002, the payment volume sent to
business and premier accounts, which we refer to as Gross Merchant
Sales or GMS, amounted to 90% of total payment volume. GMS increased
to $1.45 billion in the second quarter of 2002, representing 10%
growth from $1.31 billion in the first quarter of 2002 and 119% growth
from $663 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Account growth continued to drive increased payment volume. In the
second quarter of 2002, our registered accounts grew by 2.5 million to
17.8 million, an average of 27,000 new accounts per day. This
represents a decline of 3% from the average daily account growth of
28,000 in the first quarter of 2002, and is consistent with our
experience in 2001, when average daily account growth declined 6% from
the first to second quarter. In the second quarter of 2002, business
and premier accounts grew by 480,000 to a total of 3.7 million, and
international accounts grew by 399,000 to a total of 1.8 million.
Business Overview and Strategy
During the second quarter, PayPal achieved continued adoption by
the eBay community. An estimated 75% of eBay(TM) auctions listed
PayPal as a payment option in this period.
To accelerate further our growth, PayPal launched a number of new
eBay(TM)-related features. Two notable features are Auction Finder,
which allows winning bidders to pay for multiple auction purchases at
one time and to make auction payments directly from the PayPal
homepage; and Winning Bidder Notification, which encourages buyers to
use PayPal at the end of a successful auction. PayPal received a
strong endorsement from sellers at eBay Live!(TM), the online auction
leader's first convention of members and suppliers, where we
demonstrated new product features to the over 5000 attendees.
Beyond its core auction business, PayPal achieved robust growth
for payments involving fixed-price sale of goods, the sale of
services, and other cash transfers. Our 11% overall sequential payment
volume growth was driven by 7% growth in our auction-related payment
volume and 16% growth in our non-auction-related payment volume over
the same period. As a result, the auction-related share of our total
payment volume decreased to 59% for the second quarter of 2002 from
61% for the first quarter of 2002, while the non-auction-related share
of our total payment volume increased to 41% from 39% over the same
period.
The PayPal Developer Network, which fosters the creation of
e-commerce applications and their adoption by entrepreneurs and small
businesses, grew to over 50,000 registered members at the end of the
second quarter of 2002. To date, these developers have created 138
PayPal-compatible applications. In the second quarter of 2002 alone,
the PayPal Developer Network created e-commerce solutions for
Microsoft VisualStudio.NET and ASP.NET, for NetObjects Fusion 7,
payment solutions for digital content and delivery, and "PayPal
E-commerce Email" with email newsletter publishing tools provider
Topica.
PayPal launched a Small Business Resource Center on its website
(www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/small-biz-intro-outside)
to provide tips and tools on the use of PayPal for small businesses.
PayPal also announced a partnership with United Parcel Service to
promote shipping by UPS to PayPal sellers. Sellers accepting payment
through PayPal now will be able to fill out and print UPS shipping
labels and pay for shipping directly from their PayPal account. This
partnership represents the first integration of the UPS application
programming interface (API) with a third party.
International
PayPal achieved strong growth and continued adoption outside the
United States. In the second quarter of 2002, 23% of our total payment
volume involved at least one party outside the United States, compared
to 10% for the same period last year, and 20% for the first quarter of
2002. Users in 17 of the 38 countries we serve (including the United
States) have the ability electronically to transfer funds from their
PayPal accounts to their local bank accounts; the company now also
provides users in Germany and the Netherlands with the ability
electronically to transfer funds into their PayPal accounts from their
local bank accounts, a feature previously only available to U.S.
members.
Financial Metrics
For the second quarter of 2002, PayPal earned an average
transaction revenue rate of 3.33% of total payment volume. PayPal
incurred an average transaction processing expense rate of 1.14% of
total payment volume; the percentage of payment volume funded by
credit cards declined to 46.2% in the second quarter of 2002, from
50.5% in the second quarter of 2001 and 47.7% in the first quarter of
2002. Transaction revenues less transaction processing expenses and
less the provision for transaction losses, which amounted to 0.38% of
total payment volume, resulted in a gross margin of 54.3% for the
second quarter of 2002.
In June and July 2002, PayPal completed a $131.1 million secondary
public offering of 6.9 million shares, more than doubling the
company's publicly traded share volume to approximately 13.1 million
shares. The company did not receive any proceeds from the transaction,
other than for reimbursement to us of expenses related to this
offering, as all shares were sold by existing shareholders. As of June
30, 2002, the company had corporate cash, cash equivalents, and
investment securities totaling $141.8 million, which included $30.6
million in restricted cash and investment securities.
Recent Developments
On July 8, eBay(TM) announced an agreement with PayPal to acquire
all of the outstanding shares of the company in a tax-free,
stock-for-stock transaction using a fixed exchange ratio of 0.39 eBay
shares for each PayPal share. The acquisition, which is subject to
various stockholder, government and regulatory approvals, is expected
to close around year-end 2002.
Headquarters Move
In April, PayPal moved its California headquarters from Palo Alto
to Mountain View. The company's Palo Alto lease extends through 2007,
with total lease commitments of $8.0 million. Though PayPal intends to
sublease the Palo Alto property, it has taken a non-recurring charge
of $5.5 million for this lease and the disposal of certain fixed
assets in this property.
Regulatory Status
PayPal has received money services business licenses, also known
as money transmitter licenses, in 12 states, has applied in 15 other
states, and is preparing one additional application. As previously
disclosed, in June, the company received a letter from the New York
Banking Department stating that, based on its review of PayPal's
business model and the relationship between PayPal and its customers
created by the PayPal User Agreement, the Department had concluded
that PayPal is not engaged in illegal banking. This follows actions
taken by the company in the first quarter to remove customer funds
from the company's balance sheet and to cease earning income on those
funds. PayPal made these modifications following an advisory opinion
the company received from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) in February stating that when PayPal acts as an agent for its
customers and deposits customer funds on their behalf in FDIC-insured
institutions, these funds qualify for FDIC insurance on a pass-through
basis, in the event of a failure of the bank in which such funds are
placed. The New York Banking Department also encouraged PayPal to
submit an application to obtain a New York money transmitter license,
which the company subsequently has done.
On July 9, 2002, PayPal was served with a subpoena, dated July 5,
2002, issued by the Attorney General of the State of New York. The
subpoena seeks the production of documents that are related to, among
other things, PayPal's transactions with merchants involved in online
gambling activities. No civil or criminal action or proceeding has
been commenced against PayPal by the Attorney General, and the stated
purpose of the subpoena is to assist the Attorney General in
determining whether an action or proceeding should be instituted.
PayPal intends to cooperate fully with the Attorney General in this
matter.
Quarterly Conference Call
PayPal will host a conference call today to discuss second quarter
results at 8:00 a.m. EDT. A live Webcast of the conference call can be
accessed at
http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ir-calendar-outside, and
will be available via that URL until at least July 30. In addition,
the conference call will be available for replay until July 30 by
calling 888/203-1112, reference code: 736983.

are based on information available to PayPal on the date hereof, and
we assume no obligation to update these statements. [paragraph] Investors and
