(Nasdaq: EBAY), a global commerce leader that connects millions of

results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
"Our team delivered another strong quarter, once again meeting
or surpassing our expectations for all key business metrics, making
further progress on our multi-year strategy," said Jamie Iannone, Chief Executive Officer of eBay.
"Our Q3 results, driven by the near completion of our managed
payments migration, expansion of our advertising portfolio, and
volume growth in our focus categories, demonstrate that our
strategic playbook continues to work. I'm proud that we've been
able to increase customer satisfaction, build trust, and drive
steady innovation, all while continuing to set and make progress
toward our ambitious goals tied to climate action."

on an as-reported basis and up 10% on a foreign exchange (FX)
neutral basis.
- Gross merchandise volume (GMV) was $19.5
billion, down 10% on an as-reported basis and down 12% on an
FX-Neutral basis.
- GAAP net income from continuing operations was $283 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.
- Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $591 million, or $0.90 per diluted share.
- Generated $661 million of

- Returned $2.4 billion to

Business Highlights
- eBay updated its capital allocation plans for 2021 by
increasing its estimated share buyback from $5.0 billion to $7.0
billion.
- In October, the company announced its ambitious greenhouse gas
(GHG) target was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi). The company committed to reduce its own (scope 1 and scope
2) emissions 90% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, in line with
limiting global temperature warming to 1.5°C, the most ambitious
designation available through the SBTi process and aligned with the
Paris Agreement. eBay also commits to reduce value chain (scope 3)
emissions from downstream transportation and distribution by 20% in
the same timeframe.
- eBay has also committed to being carbon neutral for its offices
and data centers (scope 1 and 2) by the end of 2021, making it one
of the first ecommerce companies to do so. With this commitment
eBay will continue to prioritize reducing its footprint and will
offset any remaining emissions to be carbon neutral from this year
forward.
Revenue Initiatives
- eBay continues to scale its management of payments to all
sellers globally and remains on track to complete the transition
this year. In Q3, more than 90% of global on-platform volume was
processed through managed payments and eBay exited the quarter with
over 18 million sellers migrated globally.
- With eBay managing payments, the company aims to further
enhance the customer experience and remove friction for sellers.
During the quarter, the company accelerated the timing of payouts
to trusted sellers in the U.K., who will now get paid on the next
business day after confirming the buyer's payment.
- Promoted Listings delivered over $207
million of revenue in Q3, up 12% on an as-reported basis and
up 9% on an FX-Neutral basis.
- eBay expanded its advertising portfolio with the launch of
Promoted Listings Advanced and Promoted Listings Express. Currently
in beta, Promoted Listings Advanced is a cost-per-click model where
sellers determine their daily budget, choose how much a click is
worth to them then pay for each click. Additionally, Promoted
Listings Express allows sellers to boost visibility of auction
listings for a one-time fee regardless of whether the item is
sold.
Tech-led Reimagination of the Platform
- eBay continues to expand its Authenticity Guarantee program,
launching sneaker authentication in Germany during the third quarter. The company
also added 30 brands to its catalog and improved search engine
optimization performance for top sneaker brands.
- The company introduced Price Guide and Collection for trading
cards, new features designed to provide a single destination for
enthusiasts to view, manage and track the value of their trading
card portfolios on eBay. To date, close to 4 million cards
purchased on and off eBay have been added to customer collections.
In addition, close to a quarter million buyers have used the Price
Guide tool in search to visualize trends for their favorite trading
cards.
- To further support trading card sellers, the company adjusted
its eBay Money Back Guarantee policies to better align with their
return policies.
- eBay's Certified Refurbished products are also seeing growth,
with top brands like Samsung, Dyson and KitchenAid joining the
program in the U.S. in Q3.
- The company launched a new seller refurbished experience for
cell phones that standardizes item condition grading, vets sellers
and backs purchases with one year warranties, offering buyers more
trusted products at great values.
- eBay's coded coupons continue to drive repeat purchases in the
new stores experience. Since April, more than 2.5 million buyers
have made a repeat purchase to a store through seller funded
coupons.
Impact
- To continue to deliver on the company's commitment to climate
action, eBay announced agreements with McDonald's Corporation and
Lightsource bp to purchase power from what will be Louisiana's largest solar project. Once
complete, the project will generate over 600,000 megawatt-hours
(MWh) of clean energy annually, equivalent to the average annual
consumption of 59,000 US homes.
- As part of the eBay Foundation's commitment to supporting
inclusive entrepreneurship, this summer the company kicked off its
annual employee grantmaking initiative: Global Give, through which
a total of $3 million in grants will
be awarded to nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to meeting
the needs of historically marginalized entrepreneurs.
- eBay for Charity contributed approximately $35 million globally in Q3, up 11%
year-over-year.

Business Outlook
The guidance figures provided below and elsewhere in this
press release are forward-looking statements, reflect a number of
estimates, assumptions and other uncertainties, and are approximate
in nature because the company's future performance is difficult to
predict. Revenue guidance is provided on an FX-Neutral basis and
excludes incremental revenue from acquisitions or dispositions for
the twelve-month period following such acquisitions or
dispositions. Such guidance is based on information available on
the date of this press release, and the company assumes no
obligation to update it.
The company's future performance involves risks and
uncertainties, and the company's actual results could differ
materially from the information below and elsewhere in this press
release. Some of the factors that could affect the company's
operating results are set forth under the caption "Forward-Looking
Statements" above in this press release. More information about
factors that could affect the company's operating results is
included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may
be obtained by visiting eBay's investor relations website at
https://investors.ebayinc.com or the SEC's website at

approximately $125 - $135 million and an adjustment that excludes
the net deferred tax impact related to the step-up in the tax basis
of intangible assets of approximately $25 - $35 million. The
estimated GAAP diluted EPS above does not assume any gains or
losses on our investments.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial
Performance
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures
of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP
measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted
share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, free
cash flow and figures in this press release presented on an
"FX-Neutral basis". These non-GAAP financial measures are presented
on a continuing operations basis.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may
be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In
addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP
measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the
amounts associated with the company's results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be
used to evaluate the company's results of operations in conjunction
with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP
measures included in this press release, except for figures in this
press release presented on an "FX-Neutral basis", can be found in
the tables included in this press release. For figures in this
press release reported "on an FX-Neutral basis", the company
calculates the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements
using prior period foreign currency rates applied to current year
transactional currency amounts. The company defines organic
FX-Neutral revenue growth as reported revenue growth, excluding
incremental revenue from acquisitions or dispositions for the
twelve-month period following such acquisitions or dispositions and
foreign exchange rate effects.
These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors'
overall understanding of the company's current financial
performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the
company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information
to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses,
gains and losses, or net purchases of property and equipment, as
the case may be, that may not be indicative of its core operating
results and business outlook. In addition, because the company has
historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the
company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides
consistency in the company's financial reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further
below, the company's management uses financial measures that do not
include stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on
stock-based compensation, amortization or impairment of acquired
intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, amortization of deferred
tax assets associated with the realignment of its legal structure
and related foreign exchange effects, significant gains or losses
from the disposal/acquisition of a business, certain gains and
losses on investments including changes in fair value, changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of any related
foreign exchange derivative instruments, gains or losses associated
with a warrant agreement that the company entered into with Adyen,
restructuring-related charges and the income taxes associated with
the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, the
company's management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in
reviewing the financial results of the company.
The company excludes the following items from non-GAAP net
income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating
margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate:
Stock-based compensation
expense and related employer payroll taxes. This expense
consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock and
employee stock purchases. The company excludes stock-based
compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because
they are non-cash expenses that management does not believe are
reflective of ongoing operating results. The related employer
payroll taxes are dependent on the company's stock price and the
vesting of restricted stock by employees and the timing and size of
stock option exercises, over which management has limited to no
control, and as such management does not believe it correlates to
the company's operation of the business.
Amortization or impairment of
acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, certain
amortization of deferred tax assets and related foreign exchange
effects, significant gains or losses and transaction expenses from
the acquisition or disposal of a business and certain gains or
losses on investments. The company incurs amortization or
impairment of acquired intangible assets and goodwill in connection
with acquisitions and may incur significant gains or losses from
the acquisition or disposal of a business and therefore excludes
these amounts from its non-GAAP measures. The company also excludes
certain gains and losses on investments. The company excludes the
non-cash amortization of deferred tax assets associated with the
realignment of its legal structure, which is not reduced by the
effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and related foreign exchange
effects. The company excludes these items because management does
not believe they correlate to the ongoing operating results of the
company's business.
Restructuring. These
charges consist of expenses for employee severance and other exit
and disposal costs. The company excludes significant restructuring
charges primarily because management does not believe they are
reflective of ongoing operating results.
Other certain significant
gains, losses, or charges that are not indicative of the company's
core operating results. These are significant gains, losses, or
charges during a period that are the result of isolated events or
transactions which have not occurred frequently in the past and are
not expected to occur regularly or be repeated in the future. The
company excludes these amounts from its results primarily because
management does not believe they are indicative of its current or
ongoing operating results. These amounts include changes in
fair value and the related change in foreign currency exchange
rates of equity securities with readily determinable fair values,
globally.
Change in fair market value of
warrant. These are gains or losses associated with a
warrant agreement that the company entered into with Adyen, which
are attributable to changes in fair value during the period.
Tax effect of non-GAAP
adjustments. This amount is used to present stock-based
compensation and the other amounts described above on an after-tax
basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net income.
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, the
company also uses free cash flow. Free cash flow represents
operating cash flows less purchases of property and equipment. The
company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that
provides useful information to management and investors about the
amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of
property, buildings, and equipment, which can then be used to,
among other things, invest in the company's business, make
strategic acquisitions, repurchase stock and pay dividends. A
limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of
financial performance is that it does not represent the total
increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for the
period.
