BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

THE COMPANY

We are a leading technology platform and digital payments company that enables
digital and mobile payments on behalf of merchants and consumers worldwide.
PayPal is committed to democratizing financial services to improve the financial
health of individuals and to increase economic opportunity for entrepreneurs and
businesses of all sizes around the world. Our goal is to enable our merchants
and consumers to manage and move their money anywhere in the world, anytime, on
any platform, and using any device when sending payments or getting paid. We
also facilitate person-to-person payments through our PayPal, Venmo, and Xoom
products and services and simplify and personalize shopping experiences for our
consumers through our Honey Platform. Our combined payment solutions,
including our core PayPal, PayPal Credit, Braintree, Venmo, Xoom, Zettle, and
Hyperwallet products and services, comprise our proprietary Payments Platform.

Regulatory environment



We operate globally and in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment
characterized by a heightened focus by regulators globally on all aspects of the
payments industry, including countering terrorist financing, anti-money
laundering, privacy, cybersecurity, and consumer protection. The laws and
regulations applicable to us, including those enacted prior to the advent of
digital and mobile payments, are continuing to evolve through legislative and
regulatory action and judicial interpretation. New or changing laws and
regulations, including the changes to their interpretation and implementation,
as well as increased penalties and enforcement actions related to
non-compliance, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of
operations, and financial condition. We monitor these areas closely and are
focused on designing compliant solutions for our customers.

Information security



Information security risks for global payments and technology companies like us
have increased significantly in recent years. Although we have developed systems
and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and
other security incidents and effectively respond to known and potential risks,
and expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these
protections, we remain subject to these risks and there can be no assurance that
our security measures will provide sufficient security or prevent breaches or
attacks. For additional information regarding our information security risks,
see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2020 Form 10-K, as supplemented and, to
the extent inconsistent, superseded below (if applicable) in Part II, Item 1A,
Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19



The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic resulted in government authorities and
businesses throughout the world implementing numerous measures intended to
contain and limit the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, border
closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place and lock-down orders, mask and social
distancing requirements, and business limitations and shutdowns. The spread of
COVID-19 has caused us to make significant modifications to our business
practices, including enabling most of our workforce to work from home,
establishing strict health and safety protocols for our offices, restricting
physical participation in meetings, events, and conferences and imposing
restrictions on employee travel. We will continue to actively monitor the
situation and may take further actions that may alter our business practices as
may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are
in the best interests of our employees, customers, or business partners.

The spread of COVID-19 has also accelerated the shift from in-store shopping and
traditional in-store payment methods (e.g., cash) towards e-commerce and digital
payments and resulted in increased customer demand for safer payment and
delivery solutions (e.g. contactless payment methods, buy online and pick up in
store) and a significant increase in online spending in certain verticals that
have historically had a strong in-store presence. On balance, our business has
benefited from these behavioral shifts, including a significant increase in net
new active accounts and payments volume. To the extent that consumers revert to
pre-COVID-19 behaviors as mitigation measures to limit the spread of COVID-19
are lifted or relaxed and effective vaccines for COVID-19 are available and
widely distributed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations
could be adversely impacted.

The rapidly changing global market and economic conditions as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic have impacted, and are expected to continue to impact, our
operations and business. The broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and
related global economic unpredictability on our business, financial condition,
and results of operations remain uncertain. For additional information on how
the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could continue to negatively impact our
business, see below for specific discussion in the respective areas, and also
refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2020 Form 10-K.

BREXIT



The United Kingdom ("U.K.") formally exited the European Union ("EU") and the
European Economic Area ("EEA") on January 31, 2020 (commonly referred to as
"Brexit") with the expiration of a transition period on December 31, 2020.
PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, SCA ("PayPal (Europe)") operates in the U.K.
within the scope of its passport permissions (as they stood at the end of the
transition period) under the Temporary Permissions Regime pending the grant of
new U.K. authorizations by the U.K financial regulators. We are currently unable
to determine the longer-term impact that Brexit will have on our business, which
will depend, in part, on the implications of new tariff, trade, and regulatory
frameworks that now govern the provision of cross-border goods and services
between the U.K. and the EEA, as well as the financial and operational
consequences of the requirement for PayPal (Europe) to obtain new U.K.
authorizations to operate its business longer-term within the U.K. market. For
additional information on how Brexit could affect our business, see Part I, Item
1A, Risk Factors in our 2020 Form 10-K, as supplemented and, to the extent
inconsistent, superseded below (if applicable) in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors
of this Form 10-Q.

Brexit may contribute to instability in financial, stock, and foreign currency
exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the British Pound and
Euro. We have foreign currency exchange exposure management programs designed to
help reduce the impact from foreign currency exchange rate movements. The below
tables provide the percentage of our total net revenues and gross loans and
interest receivable from the U.K. and EU (excluding the U.K.) for the periods

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020



Net revenues increased $977 million, or 19%, in the three months ended June 30,
2021 compared to the same period of the prior year driven primarily by growth in
total payment volume ("TPV", as defined below under "Net Revenues") of 40%.

Total operating expenses increased $801 million, or 19%, in the three months
ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily
to an increase in transaction expense, and to a lesser extent, increases in
sales and marketing expenses, technology and development expenses, and customer
support and operations expenses. These increases were partially offset by a
decline in transaction and credit losses and restructuring and other charges.

Operating income increased by $176 million, or 19%, in the three months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year due to growth in net
revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Our operating
margin was 18% in both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Operating
margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was positively impacted by the
decrease in transaction and credit losses.

Net income decreased by $346 million, or 23%, in the three months ended June 30,
2021 compared to the same period of the prior year due to a decrease of $619
million in other income (expense), net, driven primarily by lower net gains on
strategic investments than in the prior period, partially offset by the
previously discussed increase in operating income of $176 million and a decrease
in income tax expense of $97 million driven primarily by a decrease in tax
expense associated with the lower net gains on strategic investments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020



Net revenues increased $2.4 billion, or 24%, in the six months ended June 30,
2021, compared to the same period of the prior year driven primarily by growth
in TPV of 45%.

Total operating expenses increased $1.6 billion, or 18%, in the six months ended
June 30, 2021, compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to an
increase in transaction expense, and to a lesser extent, increases in sales and
marketing expenses, technology and development expenses, and customer support
and operations expense, partially offset by a decrease in transaction and credit
losses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



Operating income increased by $820 million, or 61%, in the six months ended June
30, 2021, compared to the same period of the prior year due to growth in net
revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Our operating
margin was 18% and 14% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was
positively impacted by revenue growth outpacing growth in operating expenses,
which benefited from a decrease in transaction and credit losses.

Net income increased by $667 million, or 41%, in the six months ended June 30,
2021, compared to the same period of the prior year due to the previously
discussed increase in operating income of $820 million and a decrease in income
tax expense of $501 million, driven primarily by tax expense related to the
intra-group transfer of intellectual property in the six months ended June 30,
2020 with no comparable activity in the current period and an increase in tax
benefits associated with discrete tax adjustments. This was partially offset by
a decrease of $654 million in other income (expense), net driven primarily by
lower net gains on strategic investments compared to the prior period.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES
We have significant international operations that are denominated in foreign
currencies, primarily the British Pound, Euro, Australian dollar, and Canadian
dollar, subjecting us to foreign currency exchange risk which may adversely
impact our financial results. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar
versus the British Pound, Euro, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar, as well
as other currencies in which we conduct our international operations, impacts
the translation of our net revenues and expenses generated in these foreign
currencies into the U.S. dollar. We generated approximately 48% of our net
revenues from customers domiciled outside of the U.S. in both the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021. We generated approximately 50% and 48% of our net
revenues from customers domiciled outside of the U.S. in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Because we generate substantial net
revenues internationally, we are subject to the risks of doing business outside
of the U.S. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2020 Form 10-K, as
supplemented and, to the extent inconsistent, superseded (if applicable) below
in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.
We calculate the year-over-year impact of foreign currency exchange movements on
our business using prior period foreign currency exchange rates applied to
current period transactional currency amounts. While changes in foreign currency
exchange rates affect our reported results, we have a foreign currency exchange
exposure management program in which we designate certain foreign currency
exchange contracts as cash flow hedges intended to reduce the impact on earnings
from foreign currency exchange rate movements. Gains and losses from these
foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized as a component of transaction
revenues in the same period the forecasted transactions impact earnings.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, year-over-year foreign currency
movements relative to the U.S. dollar had the following impact on our reported
results:
                                                              Three Months Ended           Six Months Ended
                                                                 June 30, 2021              June 30, 2021

While we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to help reduce the
impact on earnings from foreign currency exchange rate movements, it is
impossible to predict or eliminate the total effects of this exposure.
Additionally, in connection with transactions occurring in multiple currencies
on our Payments Platform, we generally set our foreign currency exchange rates
daily, and may face financial exposure if we incorrectly set our foreign
currency exchange rates or as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates between the times that we set our foreign currency exchange rates
and when transactions occur. Given that we also have foreign currency exchange
risk on our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency of our subsidiaries, we have an additional foreign currency
exchange exposure management program in which we use foreign currency exchange
contracts to offset the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on
our assets and liabilities. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses on
our assets and liabilities are recorded in other income (expense), net, and are
offset by the gains and losses on the foreign currency exchange contracts. These
foreign currency exchange contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the
impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our assets and
liabilities.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

NET REVENUES
Our revenues are classified into the following two categories:
•Transaction revenues: Net transaction fees charged to merchants and consumers
on a transaction basis primarily based on the TPV completed on our Payments
Platform. Growth in TPV is directly impacted by the number of payment
transactions that we enable on our Payments Platform. We earn additional fees on
transactions where we perform currency conversion, when we enable cross-border
transactions (i.e., transactions where the merchant and consumer are in
different countries), to facilitate the instant transfer of funds for our
customers from their PayPal or Venmo account to their debit card or bank
account, to facilitate the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies, and other
miscellaneous fees.

•Revenues from other value added services: Net revenues derived primarily from
revenue earned through partnerships, referral fees, subscription fees, gateway
fees, and other services we provide to our merchants and consumers. We also earn
revenues from interest and fees earned primarily on our portfolio of loans
receivable, and interest earned on certain assets underlying customer balances.

Active accounts, number of payment transactions, number of payment transactions
per active account, and TPV are key non-financial performance metrics ("key
metrics") that management uses to measure the performance of our business, and
are defined as follows:

•An active account is an account registered directly with PayPal or a platform
access partner that has completed a transaction on our Payments Platform or
through our Honey Platform, not including gateway-exclusive transactions, within
the past 12 months. A platform access partner is a third party whose customers
are provided access to PayPal's Payments Platform through such third party's
login credentials. The number of active accounts provides management with
additional perspective on the growth of accounts across our Payments and Honey
Platforms as well as the overall scale of our platforms.

•Number of payment transactions are the total number of payments, net of payment
reversals, successfully completed on our Payments Platform or enabled by PayPal
via a partner payment solution, not including gateway-exclusive transactions.

•Number of payment transactions per active account reflects the total number of
payment transactions within the previous 12-month period, divided by active
accounts at the end of the period. The number of payment transactions per active
account provides management with insight into the number of times a customer is
engaged in payments activity on our Payments Platform in a given period.

•TPV is the value of payments, net of payment reversals, successfully completed
on our Payments Platform, or enabled by PayPal via a partner payment solution,
not including gateway-exclusive transactions.

As our transaction revenue is typically correlated with TPV growth and the
number of payment transactions completed on our Payments Platform, management
uses these metrics to gain insights into the scale and strength of our Payments
Platform, the engagement level of our customers, and underlying activity and
trends which are indicators of current and future performance. We present these
key metrics to enhance investors' evaluation of the performance of our business
and operating results.

Transaction revenues



Transaction revenues grew by $852 million, or 17%, and $2.3 billion, or 25%, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same
periods of the prior year. The growth in transaction revenues was mainly
attributable to our core PayPal and Braintree products and services driven by
strong growth in TPV and the number of payment transactions, both of which
resulted primarily from an increase in our active accounts. In the current
period, we benefited from the recovery of travel and events verticals, which
were adversely impacted in the prior year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These factors favorably impacting growth in transaction revenues in the current
period were offset by a decline in TPV and revenue we generate from merchants on
eBay's marketplace platform, which we expect to continue to decline for the
remainder of the year.

In the first quarter of 2020, we experienced an adverse impact on our TPV and
transaction revenues due to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
shift beginning in the second quarter of 2020 from in-store payment methods to
digital payments (as described above) has continued to benefit our business.

The graphs below present the respective key metrics (in millions) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

We had 403 million active accounts as of June 30, 2021 compared to 346 million
as of June 30, 2020, an increase of 16%. Number of payment transactions were 4.7
billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.7 billion in the
three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 27%. Number of payment
transactions were 9.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to
7.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 30%. TPV was
$311 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $222 billion
in the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 40%. TPV was $596
billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $412 billion in the
six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 45%.

Transaction revenues grew more slowly than TPV and number of payment
transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the
same periods in the prior year due primarily to a decline in eBay's marketplace
platform TPV with higher rates, a higher portion of TPV generated by platform
partners, large merchants, and other marketplaces who generally pay lower rates
with higher transaction volumes, and an unfavorable impact from hedging. Changes
in prices charged to our customers did not significantly impact transaction
revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Revenues from other value added services



Revenues from other value added services increased $125 million, or 40%, and
$134 million, or 19%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily
attributable to increases in our revenue share with Synchrony Bank
("Synchrony"), interest and fee revenue on our consumer loans receivable
portfolio driven primarily by growth in international markets, and fee revenue
from the servicing of loans under the U.S. Government's Paycheck Protection
Program ("PPP") administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA")
and enacted in March 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act ("CARES Act") in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We receive a
fee for providing origination services and loan servicing for the loans and
retain operational risk related to those activities. Revenues from other value
added services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were negatively
impacted by a decline in interest and fee revenue on our merchant loans
receivable portfolio due to a decrease in outstanding loans and in interest
earned on certain assets underlying customer account balances resulting from
lower interest rates.

The total gross consumer and merchant loans receivable balance was $3.9 billion
as of June 30, 2021 and $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2020, reflecting a
year-over-year decrease of 4% driven by a decline in our merchant receivable
portfolio due to reduced originations as a result of modifications to our
acceptable risk parameters in 2020, partially offset by growth in our consumer
receivable portfolio due to increased originations including from the expansion
of our installment credit products.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took both proactive and reactive
measures during 2020 to support our merchants and consumers that had loans and
interest receivables due to us under our credit product offerings. These
measures were intended to help reduce financial difficulties experienced by our
customers and included providing payment holidays to grant payment deferrals to
certain borrowers for varying periods of time, and amended payment terms through
loan modifications in certain cases. These measures have adversely impacted and
may continue to adversely impact the recognition of interest and fee income in
future periods. Given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic,
including its duration and severity, related global economic conditions and the
ultimate impact it may have on the financial condition of our merchants and
consumers, the extent of these types of actions and their prospective impact on
our interest and fee income is not determinable. In addition, consumers that
have outstanding loans and interest receivable due to Synchrony may experience
similar hardships that result in increased losses recognized by Synchrony, which
may result in a decrease in our revenue share earned from Synchrony in future
periods. In the event the overall return on the PayPal branded credit programs
funded by Synchrony does not meet a minimum rate of return ("minimum return
threshold") in a particular quarter, our revenue share for that period would be
zero. Further, in the event the overall return on the PayPal branded credit
programs managed by Synchrony does not meet the minimum return threshold as
measured over four consecutive quarters and in the following quarter, we would
be required to make a payment to Synchrony, subject to certain limitations.
Through June 30, 2021, the overall return on the PayPal branded credit programs
funded by Synchrony exceeded the minimum return threshold.

Transaction expense
Transaction expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
was as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g10.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g11.jpg]]
Transaction expense increased by $681 million, or 37%, and $1.2 billion, or 34%,
in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the
same periods of the prior year due primarily to the increase in TPV of 40% and
45% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease
in transaction expense rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
compared to the same periods of the prior year was due primarily to favorable
changes in product mix. The decrease in transaction expense rate for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 was also attributable to favorable changes in
merchant mix and funding mix.

Our transaction expense rate is impacted by changes in product mix, merchant
mix, regional mix, funding mix, and assessments charged by payment processors
and other financial institutions when we draw funds from a customer's credit or
debit card, bank account, or other funding sources. The cost of funding a
transaction with a credit or debit card is generally higher than the cost of
funding a transaction from a bank or through internal sources such as a PayPal
or Venmo account balance, or PayPal Credit. For each of the three and six months
ended June 30, 2021, approximately 1% of TPV was funded with PayPal Credit,
compared to approximately 2% of TPV for the same periods of 2020. For the three
and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 39% and 40% of TPV,
respectively, was generated outside of the U.S. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020, approximately 40% and 39% of TPV, respectively, was
generated outside of the U.S. As we expand the availability and presentation of
alternative funding sources to our customers, our funding mix may change, which
could increase or decrease our transaction expense rate.

Transaction and credit losses
The components of our transaction and credit losses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g12.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g13.jpg]]
Transaction and credit losses decreased by $271 million, or 62%, and $589
million, or 57%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Transaction losses were $273 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to $271 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of
$2 million, or 1%. Transaction losses were $554 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to $518 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, an
increase of $36 million, or 7%. Transaction loss rate (transaction losses
divided by TPV) was 0.09% and 0.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020, respectively, and 0.09% and 0.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020, respectively. The increase in transaction losses in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to growth in TPV, which was
substantially offset by benefits realized from continued risk mitigation
strategies, which contributed to a decrease in our transaction loss rate in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods of the
prior year. The duration and severity of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
and related global economic conditions remain unknown. The negative impacts on
macroeconomic conditions could increase the risk of merchant bankruptcy,
insolvency, business failure, or other business interruption, which may
adversely impact our transaction losses, particularly for merchants that sell
goods or services in advance of the date of their delivery or use.

Credit losses declined by $273 million, or 162%, and $625 million, or 122% in
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same
periods of the prior year. The components of credit losses for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):

(1) Net charge offs includes the principal charge offs partially offset by
recoveries for consumer and merchant receivables.
(2) Reserve build (release) represents change in allowance for principal
receivables excluding foreign currency remeasurement and, for the prior periods,
impact of adoption of credit losses accounting standard.

The benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to
the net release of reserves for loans and interest receivable due to
improvements in both current and projected macroeconomic conditions, including
lower projected unemployment, lower projected consumer credit card charge off
rates, and improving growth in projected household income, as well as the credit
quality of loans outstanding, partially offset by provisions for originations
during the period. The net release of reserves also reflects the impact of
qualitative adjustments to allowances for our merchant and consumer portfolios.
These qualitative adjustments resulted in increases in reserves to account for a
high degree of uncertainty around the financial health of our consumer and
merchant borrowers, including uncertainty around the effectiveness of loan
modification programs made available to merchants, as well as continued
volatility with respect to both projected and actual macroeconomic conditions.
The credit losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were
associated with an increase in provisions for our loans and interest receivable
portfolio resulting from a reserve build driven by a deterioration in
macroeconomic projections reflecting the anticipated impact of the COVID-19
pandemic and factored into the determination of our current expected credit
losses.

The consumer loans and interest receivable balance as of June 30, 2021 and 2020
was $2.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, representing a year-over-year
increase of 70% driven by growth of our installment credit products in
international markets and the U.S. as well as growth of PayPal Credit in
international markets. Approximately 68% and 89% of our consumer loans
receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were due from
consumers in the U.K. The decline in the percentage of consumer loans receivable
outstanding in the U.K. at June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020 was due to
overall growth in the consumer loan portfolio, particularly from installment
credit products in other markets.

The following table provides information regarding the credit quality of our consumer loans and interest receivable balance:

We offer access to credit products for certain small and medium-sized merchants,
which we refer to as our merchant lending offerings. Total merchant loans,
advances, and interest and fees receivable outstanding, net of participation
interest sold, as of June 30, 2021 were $1.3 billion, compared to $2.5 billion
as of June 30, 2020, representing a year-over-year decrease of 48%. The decrease
in merchant loans, advances, and interest and fees receivable outstanding was
due primarily to a reduction in originations due to modifications in our
acceptable risk parameters as well as a shift towards merchants borrowing
through the PPP. We do not own the receivables associated with loans originated
through the PPP. Approximately 80% and 10% of our merchant receivables
outstanding as of June 30, 2021 were due from merchants in the U.S. and U.K.,
respectively, as compared to 86% and 8%, respectively, as of June 30, 2020.

in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item
1 of this Form 10-Q.
(2) Net charge off rate is the annual ratio of net credit losses, excluding
fraud losses, on merchant loans and advances as a percentage of the average
daily amount of merchant loans, advances, and interest and fees balance during
the period.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we have granted certain merchants loan
modifications intended to provide them with financial relief and help enable us
to mitigate losses. The associated loans and interest receivables have been
treated as troubled debt restructurings due to significant changes in their
structure, including repayment terms and fee and rate structure.

Modifications to the acceptable risk parameters of our credit products in 2020
in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the
implementation of a number of risk mitigation strategies, including reduction of
maximum loan size, tightening eligibility terms, and a shift from automated to
manual underwriting of loans and advances. These changes in acceptable risk
parameters have resulted in a decrease in merchant receivables as of June 30,
2021. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment
remains uncertain, the longer and more severe the pandemic, the more likely it
is to have a material adverse impact on our borrowing base, which is primarily
comprised of small and medium-sized merchants.

For additional information, see "Note 11-Loans and Interest Receivable" in the
notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of
this Form 10-Q.

Customer support and operations



Customer support and operations expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g14.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g15.jpg]]
Customer support and operations expenses increased by $98 million, or 23%, and
$217 million, or 26%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to
increases in employee-related expenses, customer onboarding and compliance
costs, and contractors and consulting costs that support the growth of our
active accounts and payment transactions.

and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g16.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g17.jpg]]
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $214 million, or 52%, and $445
million, or 57%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to higher spending
on marketing programs, including the acquisition of new customer accounts and
the promotion of new product experiences, and to a lesser extent,
employee-related expenses.

Technology and development



Technology and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,
2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g18.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g19.jpg]]
Technology and development expenses increased by $115 million, or 18%, and $251
million, or 20%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to increases in
costs related to contractors and consultants, employee-related expenses, cloud
computing services utilized in delivering our products, and depreciation
expense.

General and administrative



General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,
2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g20.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g21.jpg]]
General and administrative expenses increased by $10 million, or 2%, and $48
million, or 5%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to an increase in
employee-related expenses partially offset by a decrease in professional
services expenses. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was also
attributable to expenses associated with software services.

Restructuring and other charges



Restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g22.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20210630_g23.jpg]]
Restructuring and other charges decreased by $46 million and $17 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same
periods of the prior year.

During the first quarter of 2020, management approved a strategic reduction of
the existing global workforce as part of a multiphase process to reorganize our
workforce concurrently with the redesign of our operating structure, which
spanned multiple quarters. The associated restructuring charges for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 were de minimis and for the six months ended June 30,
2021 were $27 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the
associated restructuring charges were $26 million and $55 million, respectively.
We primarily incurred employee severance and benefits costs, as well as other
associated consulting costs under the 2020 strategic reduction, substantially
all of which have been accrued as of June 30, 2021. For information on the
associated restructuring liability, see "Note 17-Restructuring and Other
Charges" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part
I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 we incurred asset
impairment charges of $26 million and $21 million, respectively, due to the
exiting of certain leased properties which resulted in a reduction of certain
right of use lease assets and related leasehold improvements.

Other income (expense), net



Other income (expense), net decreased $619 million, or 73%, and $654 million, or
92%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to
the same periods of the prior year due primarily to lower net gains on strategic
investments as compared to the prior periods.

Income tax expense (benefit)



Our effective income tax rate was 13% and 15% for the three months ended June
30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in our effective income tax rate
for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the
prior year was due primarily to a decrease in tax expense associated with lower
net gains on strategic investments. Our effective income tax rate was (2)% and
22% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease
in our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to the same period of the prior year was primarily attributable to tax expense
related to an intra-group transfer of intellectual property in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 with no comparable activity in the current period, and an
increase in tax benefits associated with discrete tax adjustments including
stock-based compensation deductions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



We require liquidity and access to capital to fund our global operations,
including customer protection programs, our credit products, capital
expenditures, investments in our business, potential acquisitions and strategic
investments, working capital, and other cash needs. The following table
summarizes our cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020:
                                                  June 30, 2021       December 31, 2020

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments(1)(2) $ 16,171 $

(1) Excludes assets related to funds receivable and customer accounts of $35.7
billion and $33.4 billion at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(2) Excludes total restricted cash of $18 million and $88 million at June 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and strategic investments of
$3.2 billion as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Foreign cash, cash equivalents, and investments



Cash, cash equivalents, and investments held by our foreign subsidiaries were
$7.7 billion as of June 30, 2021 and $7.0 billion at December 31, 2020, or 48%
and 44% of our total cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of those
respective dates. At December 31, 2020, all of our cash, cash equivalents, and
investments held by foreign subsidiaries were subject to U.S. taxation under
Subpart F, Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI"), or the one-time
transition tax under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Subsequent repatriations
to the U.S. will not be taxable from a U.S. federal tax perspective, but may be
subject to state or foreign withholding tax. A significant aspect of our global
cash management activities involves meeting our customers' requirements to
access their cash while simultaneously meeting our regulatory financial ratio
commitments in various jurisdictions. Our global cash balances are required not
only to provide operational liquidity to our businesses, but also to support our
global regulatory requirements across our regulated subsidiaries. As such, not
all of our cash is available for general corporate purposes.

Available credit and debt



We maintain uncommitted credit facilities in various regions throughout the
world with a borrowing capacity of approximately $80 million in the aggregate,
where we can withdraw and utilize the funds at our discretion for general
corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the majority of the borrowing capacity
under these credit facilities was available, subject to customary conditions to
borrowing.

Other than as described above, there are no significant changes to the available
credit and debt disclosed in our 2020 Form 10­K. For additional information, see
"Note 12-Debt" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

We have a cash pooling arrangement with a financial institution for cash
management purposes. The arrangement allows for cash withdrawals from the
financial institution based upon our aggregate operating cash balances held
within the financial institution ("Aggregate Cash Deposits"). The arrangement
also allows us to withdraw amounts exceeding the Aggregate Cash Deposits up to
an agreed-upon limit. The net balance of the withdrawals and the Aggregate Cash
Deposits are used by the financial institution as a basis for calculating our
net interest expense or income under the arrangement. As of June 30, 2021, we
had a total of $3.4 billion in cash withdrawals offsetting our $3.4 billion in
Aggregate Cash Deposits held within the financial institution under the cash
pooling arrangement.

Liquidity for loans receivable
Growth in our portfolio of loan receivables increases our liquidity needs and
any inability to meet those liquidity needs could adversely affect our business.
We continue to evaluate partnerships and third party sources of funding for our
loans receivable portfolio. In June 2018, the Luxembourg Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") agreed that PayPal's management
may designate up to 35% of European customer balances held in our Luxembourg
banking subsidiary to be used for European and U.S. credit activities. During
the first quarter of 2021, an additional $700 million was approved to fund such
credit activities. As of June 30, 2021, the cumulative amount approved by
management to be designated for credit activities aggregated to $2.7 billion and
represented approximately 27% of European customer balances that have been made
available for our corporate use at that date as determined by applying financial
regulations maintained by the CSSF. We may periodically seek to designate
additional amounts of customer balances, if necessary, based on utilization of
the approved funds and anticipated credit funding requirements. While our
objective is to expand the availability of our credit products with capital from
external sources, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
achieving that goal. Under certain exceptional circumstances, corporate
liquidity could be called upon to meet our obligations related to our European
customer balances.

Credit ratings
As of June 30, 2021, we continue to be rated investment grade by Standard and
Poor's Financial Services, LLC, Fitch Ratings, Inc., and Moody's Investors
Services, Inc. We expect that these credit rating agencies will continue to
monitor our performance, including our capital structure and results of
operations. Our goal is to be rated investment grade, but as circumstances
change, there are factors that could result in our credit ratings being
downgraded or put on a watch list for possible downgrading. If that were to
occur, it could increase our borrowing rates, including the interest rate on
borrowings under our credit agreement.

Risk of loss
The risk of losses from our buyer and seller protection programs are specific to
individual customers, merchants, and transactions, and may also be impacted by
regional variations in, and changes or modifications to, the programs, including
as a result of changes in regulatory requirements. For the periods presented in
these condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, our
transaction loss rates ranged between 0.09% and 0.13% of TPV. Historical loss
rates may not be indicative of future results. The duration and severity of the
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related global economic conditions remain
unknown. The negative impacts on macroeconomic conditions could increase the
risk of merchant bankruptcy, insolvency, business failure, or other business
interruption, which may result in an adverse impact on our transaction losses,
particularly for merchants that sell goods or services in advance of the date of
their delivery or use.

Stock repurchases and acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased approximately $1.5
billion of our common stock in the open market under our stock repurchase
program authorized in July 2018. As of June 30, 2021, a total of approximately
$6.9 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under
our July 2018 stock repurchase program.

In the second quarter of 2021, we completed three acquisitions for $524 million in aggregate, consisting primarily of cash consideration.



Other considerations
In 2020, we announced our commitment to invest $535 million to support racial
equality. As of June 30, 2021, we have deployed substantially all of the
commitment through charitable contributions, grants to small businesses,
internal investments to support and strengthen diversity and inclusion
initiatives, and an economic opportunity fund focused on bolstering our
relationships with community banks and credit unions serving underrepresented
minority communities, as well as investing directly into black- and minority-led
startups and minority-focused investment funds, among other initiatives.

Our liquidity, access to capital, and borrowing costs could be adversely
impacted by declines in our credit rating, our financial performance, and global
credit market conditions, as well as a broad range of other factors including
those related to the COVID-19 pandemic discussed in this Form 10-Q. In addition,
our liquidity, access to capital, and borrowing costs could also be negatively
impacted by the outcome of any of the legal or regulatory proceedings to which
we are a party. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2020 Form 10-K, as
supplemented and, to the extent inconsistent, superseded below in Part II, Item
1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q, as well as "Note 13-Commitments and
Contingencies" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of these and other
risks that our business faces.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments, cash
expected to be generated from operations, and our expected access to capital
markets, together with potential external funding through third party sources,
will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, anticipated capital
expenditures, and our credit products for the foreseeable future. Depending on
market conditions, we may from time to time issue debt, including in private or
public offerings, to fund our operating activities, finance acquisitions, make
strategic investments, repurchase shares under our stock repurchase program, or
reduce our cost of capital.

CASH FLOWS

The following table summarizes our condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows:

Operating activities



We generated cash from operating activities of $3.1 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to operating income of $2.2 billion, as well
as adjustments for non-cash expenses including stock-based compensation of $758
million, depreciation and amortization of $616 million, and provision for
transaction and credit losses of $442 million. Net income was also adjusted for
net gains on our strategic investments of $163 million, changes in accounts
receivable of $112 million, changes in deferred income taxes of $103 million,
and changes in other assets and liabilities of $793 million, primarily related
to actual cash transaction losses incurred during the period.

We generated cash from operating activities of $3.2 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to operating income of $1.3 billion, as well
as adjustments for non-cash expenses including provision for transaction and
credit losses of $1.0 billion, stock-based compensation of $635 million, and
depreciation and amortization of $590 million. Net income was also adjusted for
net gains on our strategic investments of $764 million and changes in income
taxes payable of $114 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, cash paid for income taxes, net was $380 million and $70 million, respectively.

Investing activities

The net cash used in investing activities of $2.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due primarily to purchases of investments of $20.2 billion, acquisitions (net of cash acquired) of $469 million, purchases of property and equipment of $468 million, and changes in principal loans receivable, net of $316 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by maturities and sales of investments of $18.7 billion and changes in funds receivable from customers of $127 million.



The net cash used in investing activities of $10.1 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to purchases of investments of $14.8
billion, acquisitions (net of cash acquired) of $3.6 billion, changes in funds
receivable from customers of $1.1 billion, and purchases of property and
equipment of $399 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by
maturities and sales of investments of $9.8 billion and proceeds from the sale
of property and equipment of $120 million.

Financing activities



We generated cash from financing activities of $630 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to changes in funds payable and amounts due to
customers of $3.0 billion, partially offset by the repurchase of $1.5 billion of
our common stock under our stock repurchase program, and tax withholdings
related to net share settlement of equity awards of $940 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents




We generated cash from financing activities of $9.2 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to cash proceeds from the issuance of
long-term debt in the form of fixed rate notes as well as proceeds from
borrowings under our credit agreement of $7.0 billion and changes in funds
payable and amounts due to customers of $6.6 billion. These cash inflows were
partially offset by the repayment of outstanding borrowings under our credit
agreement of $3.0 billion, the repurchase of $1.0 billion of our common stock
under our stock repurchase programs, and tax withholdings related to net share
settlement of equity awards of $421 million.

Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash



Foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact of $34 million on cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due
primarily to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the
Australian dollar, and to a lesser extent, the Euro and Swedish krona. Foreign
currency exchange rates had a negative impact of $72 million on cash, cash
equivalents, and restricted cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies,
primarily the Brazilian real.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of June 30, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
