BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

THE COMPANY

We are a leading technology platform that enables digital payments and
simplifies commerce experiences on behalf of merchants and consumers worldwide.
PayPal is committed to democratizing financial services to help 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 in the markets we serve, anytime, on any platform, and using any
device when sending payments or getting paid, including person-to-person
payments.

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 payments, are continuing to evolve through legislative and regulatory
action and judicial interpretation. New or changing laws and regulations,
including 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 2021 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the extent inconsistent, superseded below (if applicable) in Part II, Item 1A,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.

RUSSIA AND UKRAINE CONFLICT

With respect to the military hostilities commenced by Russia in Ukraine in
February 2022, our priority is the safety and well-being of our PayPal employee
community impacted by these events. We continue to take actions to comply with
all applicable restrictions and sanctions that may impact our operations. In
March 2022, we suspended our transactional services in Russia. We are unable to
reasonably estimate the total potential financial impact that may ultimately
result from this situation. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and
the year ended December 31, 2021, our total net revenues related to Russia and
Ukraine were not material. For additional information regarding the risks
related to the Russia and Ukraine conflict and its potential negative impacts on
our business, see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19



The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has 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 and increased variants caused, and may continue to cause 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. During the first half
of 2022, we reopened many of our physical offices in locations where permitted
by the government authorities. We will continue to actively monitor the
situation and may take further actions that 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 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. While our business had
experienced some benefits from these behavioral shifts, as pandemic-related
restrictions have decreased and consumers have largely reverted to pre-COVID-19
behaviors, the growth in our results of operations has been, and may continue to
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 II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.

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 the 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 2021 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 tables
below 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
presented:
                                              Three Months Ended June 30,                 Six Months Ended June 30,

Net revenues generated from the EU
(excluding the U.K.)                                17  %                20  %                 18  %                20  %

                                                                         2022                       2021

Gross loans and interest receivable due from customers in the U.K.

                                                                           33  %                        40  %
Gross loans and interest receivable due from customers in the EU
(excluding the U.K.)                                                           29  %                        21  %



The change in the percentage of gross loans and interest receivable due from
customers in the U.K. and EU as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021
was primarily attributable to expansion of our installment credit products in
the EU, particularly in Germany where we have increased our product offerings.

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT



The impacts of the macroeconomic environment, including uncertainty around the
duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia and Ukraine conflict,
supply chain shortages, higher inflation rates, higher interest rates, and other
related global economic conditions, remain unknown. A deterioration in
macroeconomic conditions could increase the risk of lower consumer spending,
consumer and merchant bankruptcy, insolvency, business failure, higher credit
losses, foreign currency fluctuations, or other business interruption, which may
adversely impact our business. If these conditions continue or worsen, they
could adversely impact our future operating results.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021



Net revenues increased $568 million, or 9%, in the three months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period of the prior year driven primarily by growth in
total payment volume ("TPV", as defined below under "Key Metrics") of 9%.

[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g2.jpg]]           50


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

Table of Contents




Total operating expenses increased $931 million, or 18%, in the three months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily
to an increase in transaction expense, and to a lesser extent, increases in
transaction and credit losses.

Operating income decreased by $363 million, or 32%, in the three months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year due to growth of
operating expenses outpacing growth in net revenues. Our operating margin was
11% and 18% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively
impacted primarily by increases in transaction expense and transaction and
credit losses, as described below under "Operating Expenses".

Net loss of $341 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 reflects a $1.5
billion, or 129%, decrease from net income of $1.2 billion in the three months
ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to the decrease in operating income of $363
million as discussed above, a decline in other income (expense), net of $944
million driven primarily by higher losses on strategic investments, and an
increase in income tax expense of $218 million driven primarily by higher tax
expense related to the intra-group transfer of intellectual property, partially
offset by an increase in discrete tax benefits associated with net losses on
strategic investments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021



Net revenues increased $1.0 billion, or 8%, in the six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period of the prior year driven primarily by growth in
TPV of 11%.

Total operating expenses increased $1.7 billion, or 17%, in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to an
increase in transaction expense, and to a lesser extent, increases in
transaction and credit losses and technology and development expenses.

Operating income decreased by $694 million, or 32%, in the six months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year due to growth of
operating expenses outpacing growth in net revenues. Our operating margin was
11% and 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted
primarily by increases in transaction expense and transaction and credit losses.

Net income decreased by $2.1 billion, or 93%, in the six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period of the prior year due to the previously
discussed decrease in operating income of $694 million, a decrease of $856
million in other income (expense), net driven primarily by higher losses on
strategic investments, and an increase in income tax expense of $563 million,
driven primarily by higher tax expense related to the intra-group transfer of
intellectual property and a decrease in discrete tax benefits associated with
stock-based compensation deductions, partially offset by an increase in discrete
tax benefits associated with net losses on strategic investments.

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 United
States ("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 43% of our net revenues from customers domiciled outside
of the U.S. in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
48% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 2021 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, 2022, 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

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.



We also use foreign currency exchange contracts designated as net investment
hedges to reduce the foreign currency exchange risk related to our investment in
certain foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses associated with these instruments
will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the
underlying foreign subsidiaries are sold or substantially liquidated.

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.

KEY METRICS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

KEY METRICS



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 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
platform or services through such third party's login credentials, including
entities that utilize Hyperwallet's payout capabilities. A user may register on
our platform to access different products and may register more than one account
to access a product. Accordingly, a user may have more than one active account.
The number of active accounts provides management with additional perspective on
the overall scale of our platform, but may not have a direct relationship to our
operating results.

•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 average number of times an
account engages 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.

Our key metrics are calculated using internal company data based on the activity
we measure on our platform and may be compiled from multiple systems, including
systems that are organically developed or acquired through business
combinations. While the measurement of our key metrics is based on what we
believe to be reasonable methodologies and estimates, there are inherent
challenges and limitations in measuring our key metrics globally at our scale.
The methodologies used to calculate our key metrics require judgment.

We regularly review our processes for calculating these key metrics, and from
time to time we may make adjustments to improve their accuracy or relevance. For
example, we continuously apply models, processes, and practices designed to
detect and prevent fraudulent account creation on our platforms, and work to
improve and enhance those capabilities. When we detect a significant volume of
illegitimate activity, we generally remove the activity identified from our key
metrics. Although such adjustments may impact key metrics reported in prior
periods, we generally do not update previously reported key metrics to reflect
these subsequent adjustments unless the retrospective impact of process
improvements or enhancements is determined by management to be material.

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 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 from merchants and
consumers 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, as contractual
compensation from accounts that violate our user agreement, 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 on our portfolio of loans receivable, and
interest earned on certain assets underlying customer balances.

Net revenue analysis

The components of our net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions):

[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g3.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g4.jpg]] Transaction revenues



Transaction revenues grew by $475 million, or 8%, and $852 million, or 7%, in
the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of the
prior year driven primarily by growth in our unbranded card processing volume,
which consists primarily of our Braintree products and services, and to a lesser
extent, Venmo products and services, in each case driven by growth in TPV and
the number of payment transactions on our payments platform. Additionally,
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 transaction revenues
benefited from an increase in contractual compensation from accounts that
violate our user agreement. This growth in transaction revenues in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2022 was partially offset by declines in TPV and
revenue generated from our core PayPal products and services, including foreign
exchange fees revenue, due primarily to a decrease in revenue earned on eBay's
marketplace platform. We expect the decline in revenue earned on eBay's
marketplace platform to continue to negatively impact revenue growth trends to a
lesser extent in the second half of 2022.

The graphs below present the respective key metrics (in millions) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

We had active accounts of 429 million and 403 million as of June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, an increase of 6%. Our total number of payment transactions
was 5.5 billion and 4.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, an increase of 16%. Our total number of payment transactions
was 10.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 9.1 billion
in the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 17%. TPV was $340 billion
and $311 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, an increase of 9%. TPV was $663 billion for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to $596 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2021, an
increase of 11%.

Transaction revenues grew more slowly than TPV and the number of payment
transactions in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the
same periods in the prior year due primarily to a decline in foreign currency
exchange fees and a decline in TPV attributable to eBay's marketplace platform,
where we had historically earned higher rates, substantially offset by an
increase in revenue from our Venmo products and services and a favorable impact
from hedging.

Revenues from other value added services



Revenues from other value added services increased $93 million, or 21%, and $166
million, or 19%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively,
compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily attributable to
increases in our revenue share with Synchrony Bank and, to a lesser extent,
increases in interest and fee revenue on our merchant loans receivable portfolio
and interest earned on certain assets underlying customer account balances
resulting from higher interest rates. Growth in revenues from other value added
services in the current period was partially offset by the impact of fee revenue
from the servicing of loans facilitated under the U.S. Government's Paycheck
Protection Program in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, for which
revenue was de minimis in the current period.

Transaction expense

Transaction expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in millions):



[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g10.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g11.jpg]]
Transaction expense increased by $520 million, or 21%, and $1.1 billion, or 22%,
in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the
same periods of the prior year due primarily to the increase in TPV of 9% and
11% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and a higher
proportion of TPV from unbranded card processing volume, which generally has
higher expense rates than other products and services and unfavorable changes in
funding mix. The increase in TPV from unbranded card processing volume also
increased the transaction expense rate for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of the prior year. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 35% and 36% of TPV, respectively,
was generated outside of the U.S. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2021, approximately 39% and 40% of TPV, respectively, was generated outside of
the U.S.

Our transaction expense rate is impacted by changes in product mix, merchant
mix, regional mix, funding mix, and fees paid to payment processors and other
financial institutions. 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 our
consumer credit products. 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. Macroeconomic
environment changes may also result in behavioral shifts in consumer spending
patterns affecting the type of funding source they use, which would also impact
the funding mix.

Transaction and credit losses

The components of our transaction and credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions):

[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g12.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g13.jpg]]

Transaction and credit losses increased by $279 million, or 165%, and $375 million, or 85%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.




Transaction losses were $380 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022
compared to $273 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of
$107 million, or 39%. Transaction losses were $702 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to $554 million in the six months ended June 30,
2021, an increase of $148 million, or 27%. Transaction loss rate (transaction
losses divided by TPV) was 0.11% for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 0.09% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The increase in transaction losses in the three and six months ended June 30,
2022 was primarily attributable to a $114 million loss related to an ongoing
merchant insolvency proceeding. This increase was partially offset by recoveries
attributable to enhancements in our fraud recoupment capabilities. The increase
in transaction losses in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was also
attributable to an increase in losses related to our Venmo products and services
resulting from fraud schemes and an increase in goods and services transactions,
which are now eligible for coverage by our protection programs.

The provision in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was attributable
to originations during the period, partially offset by improvements in the
credit quality of loans outstanding. The benefit in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to the reduction of our allowance for loans
and interest receivable due to improvements in both current and projected
macroeconomic conditions at that point in time and the credit quality of loans
outstanding, partially offset by an increase in the provision due to new
originations. During the periods presented, allowances for our merchant and
consumer portfolios included qualitative adjustments which took into account
uncertainty with respect to macroeconomic conditions, historical loss rates when
applicable, and uncertainty around the financial health of our borrowers and
effectiveness of loan modification programs made available to merchants.

The consumer loans and interest receivable balance as of June 30, 2022 and 2021
was $4.5 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, representing a year-over-year
increase of 77% driven by the expansion of our installment credit products,
including additional offerings in Germany as well as the entry into new
international markets in the fourth quarter of 2021. Approximately 43% and 68%
of our consumer loans receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021,
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, 2022 compared
to June 30, 2021 was due to overall growth in the consumer loan receivables
portfolio, particularly from installment credit products in other markets
including Germany, Japan, and the U.S.

We offer access to merchant finance products for certain small and medium-sized
businesses, which we refer to as our merchant finance offerings. Total merchant
loans, advances, and interest and fees receivable outstanding, net of
participation interest sold, as of June 30, 2022 were $1.7 billion, compared to
$1.3 billion as of June 30, 2021, representing a year-over-year increase of 33%.
The increase in merchant loans, advances, and interest and fees receivable
outstanding was due primarily to growth in our PayPal Business Loan products in
the U.S. Approximately 84% and 6% of our merchant receivables outstanding as of
June 30, 2022 were due from merchants in the U.S. and U.K., respectively, as

June 30, 2021 were primarily due to the charge-off of accounts, in the prior
period, that experienced financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic as well as improved credit quality of our merchant loan portfolio due
to modifications to the acceptable risk parameters, including stricter
eligibility requirements, as discussed below.

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 a reduction
in maximum loan size, stricter eligibility terms, and a shift from automated to
manual underwriting of loans and advances, all of which resulted in a decrease
in originations as compared to pre-pandemic levels. We continue to evaluate and
modify our acceptable risk parameters in response to the changing macroeconomic
environment, and changes to our acceptable risk parameters in 2021 resulted in a
gradual increase in originations, and thus a higher merchant receivable balance
as of June 30, 2022 as compared to 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 may have a material adverse impact
on our borrowing base, which is primarily comprised of small and medium-sized
merchants.

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, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions): [[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g14.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g15.jpg]]



Customer support and operations expenses increased by $15 million, or 3%, and
$31 million, or 3%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,
respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to
increases in expenses related to software that supports our consumer loan
products, other operating charges, and employee-related expenses, partially
offset by a decline in contractors and consulting costs. The increase in the six
months ended June 30, 2022 was also attributable to increases in third-party
credit processing fees and customer onboarding and compliance costs.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021 were as follows (in millions):
[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g16.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g17.jpg]]
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $33 million, or 5%, and $41 million,
or 3%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared
to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to lower spending on
marketing campaigns, partially offset by an increase in amortization of acquired
intangible assets.

Technology and development

Technology and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions):



[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g18.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g19.jpg]]
Technology and development expenses increased by $69 million, or 9%, $143
million, or 10%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively,
compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to increases in
cloud computing services utilized in delivering our products and services and
employee-related expenses. To a lesser extent, the increase in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 was also driven by an increase in costs related to
contractors and consultants and amortization expense associated with internally
developed software.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions):



[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g20.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g21.jpg]]
General and administrative expenses decreased by $8 million, or 2%, and
increased by $75 million, or 7%, in the three and six months ended June 30,
2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease
in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was attributable to a decline in
employee-related expenses. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2022
was primarily attributable to an increase in employee-related expenses driven
mainly by growth in stock-based compensation.

Restructuring and other charges

Restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in millions):



[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g22.jpg]][[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g23.jpg]]
Restructuring and other charges increased by $89 million and $67 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of the
prior year.

During the first quarter of 2022, management initiated a strategic reduction of
the existing global workforce intended to streamline and optimize our global
operations to enhance operating efficiency. As part of this effort, we are
focusing on reducing redundant operations and simplifying our organizational
structure. The associated restructuring charges during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 were $71 million and $91 million, respectively. We primarily
incurred employee severance and benefits costs, as well as associated consulting
costs. This strategic action and cash payments associated with this plan are
expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2022. Management
estimates that an additional $15 million in restructuring charges will be
incurred over the remainder of 2022. The estimated reduction in annualized
employee-related costs associated with the impacted workforce is approximately
$260 million, including approximately $100 million in stock-based compensation.
A portion of the reduction in annual costs associated with the impacted
workforce is expected to be reinvested in the business to drive additional
growth.

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. We primarily incurred employee severance and benefits
costs, as well as associated consulting costs under the 2020 strategic
reduction, which was substantially completed in 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, we are continuing to review our facility needs due to our new and
evolving work models. We incurred asset impairment charges of $19 million and
$35 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and
nil and $26 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
respectively, due to exiting certain leased properties which resulted in a
reduction of right of use lease assets and related leasehold improvements.

Other income (expense), net



Other income (expense), net decreased $944 million and $856 million in the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods
of the prior year due primarily to net losses on strategic investments in the
current periods compared to net gains in the prior periods. Additionally, the
six months ended June 30, 2022 was impacted, to a lesser extent, by an increase
in foreign currency exchange losses, resulting primarily from actions taken in
connection with our decision to suspend transactional services in Russia.

Income tax expense (benefit)



Our effective income tax rate was 796% and 13% for the three months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 75% and (2)% for the six months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in our effective income tax rate
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of
the prior year was primarily due to tax expense related to the intra-group
transfer of intellectual property with no comparable activity in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



We require liquidity and access to capital to fund our global operations,
including our customer protection programs, credit products, capital
expenditures, investments in our business, potential acquisitions and strategic
investments, working capital, and other cash needs. 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 meet our
cash requirements within the next 12 months and beyond.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

Cash, cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash

The following table summarizes our cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


                                                                   June 30, 2022           December 31, 2021
                                                                                 (In millions)

(1) Excludes assets related to funds receivable and customer accounts of $37.2
billion and $36.1 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(2) Excludes total restricted cash of $22 million and $109 million at June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and strategic investments of
$2.6 billion and $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments held by our foreign subsidiaries were
$9.2 billion at June 30, 2022 and $7.4 billion at December 31, 2021, or 71% and
57% of our total cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of those respective
dates. At December 31, 2021, 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 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 income
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. Accordingly, not all of our cash is available for
general corporate purposes.

Operating activities

We generated cash from operating activities of $2.7 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to operating income of $1.5 billion, as well
as adjustments for non-cash expenses including provision for transaction and
credit losses of $817 million, stock-based compensation of $741 million, and
depreciation and amortization of $661 million. Net income was also adjusted for
net losses on our strategic investments of $658 million, changes in deferred
income taxes of $457 million, and changes in other assets and liabilities of
$194 million, primarily related to actual cash transaction losses incurred
during the period partially offset by an increase in other liabilities.

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 during the period.

In the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash paid for income taxes, net was $444 million and $380 million, respectively.

Investing activities



The net cash used in investing activities of $4.7 billion in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to purchases of investments of $13.2
billion, purchases and originations of loans receivable of $12.3 billion,
changes in funds receivable from customers of $882 million, and purchases of
property and equipment of $366 million. These cash outflows were partially
offset by maturities and sales of investments of $11.1 billion and principal
repayment of loans receivable of $10.9 billion.

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, purchases and originations of loans receivable of $4.9 billion,
acquisitions (net of cash acquired) of $469 million, and purchases of property
and equipment of $468 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by
maturities and sales of investments of $18.7 billion, principal repayment of
loans receivable of $4.6 billion, and changes in funds receivable from customers
of $127 million.

Financing activities

The net cash generated from financing activities of $750 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to borrowings under financing
arrangements of $3.3 billion (including proceeds from the issuance of fixed rate
debt in May 2022 and borrowing under our Paidy credit agreements) and changes in
funds payable and amounts due to customers of $1.6 billion. These cash inflows
were partially offset by the repurchase of $2.3 billion of our common stock
under our July 2018 stock repurchase program, repayment of borrowings under
financing arrangements of $1.7 billion (including the repurchase and redemption
of certain fixed rate notes and repayment of borrowings under a prior credit
agreement, both described further below under "Available credit and debt"), and
tax withholdings related to net share settlement of equity awards of $275
million.

[[Image Removed: pypl-20220630_g2.jpg]]           63


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

Table of Contents




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 July 2018 stock repurchase program, and tax
withholdings related to net share settlement of equity awards of $940 million.

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



Foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
had a negative impact of $136 million and $34 million, respectively, on cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The negative impact on cash, cash
equivalents, and restricted cash in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
was due primarily to the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate
of the U.S. dollar to the Australian dollar and, to a lesser extent, the Euro
and Swedish krona. The negative impact on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted
cash in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was also attributable to unfavorable
fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen.

Available credit and debt



In May 2022, we issued fixed rate notes with varying maturity dates for an
aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion. Proceeds from the issuance of these
notes may be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding the
repayment or redemption of outstanding debt, share repurchases, ongoing
operations, capital expenditures, and possible acquisitions of businesses or
assets or strategic investments. We used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase
and redeem $1.6 billion in notes from our prior debt issuances in September 2019
and May 2020. As of June 30, 2022, we had $10.4 billion in fixed rate debt
outstanding with varying maturity dates.

In February 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Paidy Credit
Agreement") with Paidy as co-borrower, which provides for an unsecured revolving
credit facility of ¥60.0 billion (approximately $439 million as of June 30,
2022). In the six months ended June 30, 2022, ¥37.8 billion (approximately
$277 million) was drawn down under the Paidy Credit Agreement. Accordingly, at
June 30, 2022, ¥22.2 billion (approximately $162 million) of borrowing capacity
was available for the purposes permitted by the Paidy Credit Agreement, subject
to customary conditions to borrowing.

In October 2021, we assumed a credit agreement through our acquisition of Paidy
(the "Prior Credit Agreement"). The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a
secured revolving credit facility of approximately ¥22.8 billion (approximately
$198 million at the time of acquisition). In the first quarter of 2022, we
terminated the Prior Credit Agreement and repaid outstanding borrowings.

Other than as described above, there are no significant changes to the available
credit and debt disclosed in our 2021 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.

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.



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, 2022, we
had a total of $4.2 billion in cash withdrawals offsetting our $4.2 billion in
Aggregate Cash Deposits held within the financial institution under the cash
pooling arrangement.

Credit ratings

As of June 30, 2022, 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 agreements.

CURRENT AND FUTURE CASH REQUIREMENTS



Our material cash requirements include funds to support current and potential:
operating activities, credit products, customer protection programs, stock
repurchases, strategic investments, acquisitions, other commitments, and capital
expenditures and other future obligations.

Credit products



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 are currently evaluating partnerships and third-party sources of funding for
our credit products.

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 second quarter of 2022, an
additional $300 million was approved to fund such credit activities. As of
June 30, 2022, the cumulative amount approved by management to be designated for
credit activities aggregated to $3.0 billion and represented approximately 28%
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 European
customer balances for our credit activities, as we deem necessary, based on
utilization of the approved funds and anticipated credit funding requirements.
Under certain exceptional circumstances, corporate liquidity could be called
upon to meet our obligations related to our European customer balances.

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.

Customer protection programs



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 rate ranged between 0.09% and 0.11% of TPV. Historical loss
rates may not be indicative of future results.

Stock repurchases



During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately $2.3
billion of our common stock in the open market under our stock repurchase
program authorized in July 2018. In June 2022, our Board of Directors authorized
an additional stock repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to
$15.0 billion of our common stock, with no expiration from the date of
authorization. As of June 30, 2022, a total of approximately $2.8 billion and
$15.0 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock
under our July 2018 and June 2022 stock repurchase programs, respectively.

Other considerations



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 2021 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.
