We remain focused on scaling our network, maintaining attractive unit economics, capturing greater share, and helping our partners grow.
While the growth of online commerce is falling back to pre-COVID levels, the secular trend toward adopting honest financial products is gaining momentum. Not only does this make our mission more important but it also plays directly into Affirm's strengths.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company presents, among other non-GAAP financial measures, revenue less transaction costs and revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV. The Company defines "revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV" as revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of gross merchandise volume. The Company defines "revenue less transaction costs" as GAAP total revenue less transaction costs. The Company defines "transaction costs" as the sum of loss on loan purchase commitment, provision for credit losses, funding costs, and processing and servicing expense. The Company believes that both revenue less transaction costs and revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV are useful financial measures to the Company and investors of the unit economics and the economic value of transactions processed on the Company's platform.
The Company uses these and other non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and for evaluating the effectiveness of its business strategy. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. For example, revenue less transaction costs and revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV are not intended to be measures of operating profit or loss as they exclude key operating expenses such as technology and data analytics, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, investors should not consider these non- GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
