Insights
Strong revenue and cash flow growth, with margin pressure and a new $1.2B acquisition.
eBay delivered net revenue growth of $3,089M versus $2,585M, a 19% increase, supported by higher marketplace and advertising revenues. Net income was broadly stable at $512M, while diluted EPS rose to $1.12 from $1.05.
Operating margin declined to 19.8% from 23.6%, reflecting higher sales and marketing, product development and transaction loss expenses. Cash flow from continuing operations grew to $970M, funding $500M of share repurchases and $139M of dividends, alongside a $194M distribution from the Aurelia investment.
The planned acquisition of Depop, Inc. for approximately $1.2B in cash expands eBay’s consumer-to-consumer fashion presence, subject to closing conditions and required approvals expected by the end of Q3 2026. Future filings may clarify integration progress, financial contribution and any changes in capital allocation.

Operating margin financial
"Operating margin decreased to 19.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 23.6% during the same period in 2025."
Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.
Foreign exchange neutral (FX-Neutral) financial
"we also present foreign exchange neutral (“FX-Neutral”) net revenues to supplement our results of operations"
Accumulated other comprehensive income financial
"Unrealized gains and losses on investments, net, are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income”"
Accumulated other comprehensive income is a running total on a company’s balance sheet that records certain gains and losses not included in reported profit, such as unrealized gains or losses on some investments, currency translation differences, and pension plan adjustments. Think of it like items in a shopping cart you haven’t paid for yet: it doesn’t affect current profit but changes the company’s overall equity and signals potential future swings in value that investors should watch.
Cash flow hedges financial
"For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of AOCI"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.
Senior notes financial
"The following table summarizes the carrying value of our outstanding debt as of the dates indicated (in millions, except percentages) Senior Notes"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
Stock repurchase program financial
"Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs"
A stock repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the market. This can make each remaining share more valuable and shows that the company believes its stock is a good investment. It’s like a business treating its shares like a limited resource, hoping to boost confidence and share prices.

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
eBay Inc. is a global commerce leader that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. Our Marketplace platforms, including our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com and its localized counterparts, our off-platform marketplaces and our suite of mobile apps, together, create one of the world's largest and most vibrant marketplaces for discovering great value and a unique selection.
When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “eBay” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we mean the Delaware corporation (eBay Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to transaction losses, legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, investments, including Level 3 investments, warrants and the recoverability of goodwill. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the financial statements of eBay Inc. and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. A qualitative approach is applied to assess the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities. Generally, investments in entities where we hold at least a 20% ownership interest and have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, including those in which the fair value option has been elected.
For equity method investments, our share of the investees’ results of operations is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” For equity method investments under the fair value option, the change in fair value of the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.” Investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for as equity investments to be measured at fair value, under an election, or at cost if it does not have readily determinable fair value, in which case the carrying value would be adjusted upon the occurrence of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar instruments or impairment. For investments in entities where we hold less than a 20% ownership interest, the change in fair value of, or any impairment related to, the investment is included in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” and investment balances are included in “Long-term investments.”
These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods.

Significant Accounting Policies
There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2025 Form 10-K, except for our policy related to internal use software costs to reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06 beginning in the first quarter of 2026, as noted below.
Internal use software costs
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses enabling investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2025 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to further standardize income tax disclosures primarily related to the presentation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information on our financial statements and disclosures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2025 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance is intended to improve certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internally developed software costs specific to website development. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We have elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2026, using the retrospective transition method, which required us to recast each prior reporting period presented consistent with the new standard.
The most significant impact of the standard relates to the capitalization of product development cost for our Marketplace platforms. Under the new standard, due to the iterative and agile nature of our product development,

we have determined that significant development uncertainty generally persists until the software is deployed, or within a short period prior to deployment. Consequently, we expect substantially all product development costs related to the Company’s Marketplace platforms would be expensed as the probable-to-complete threshold would not have been met.

Note 2 — Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares of common stock.

Note 4 — Segments
We have one reportable segment, which reflects how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses performance of the business. The CODM assesses the performance of the Company and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income reported in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The CODM uses consolidated net income in deciding whether to reinvest profits into certain parts of the business or return a portion of such profits to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases. Significant expense categories regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM are those presented in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values
Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are non-marketable equity securities, which are investments in privately-held companies for which we do not exercise significant influence and are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in value and impairments of equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net” on our condensed consolidated statement of income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are presented within “Long-term investments” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Equity investment in Aurelia
In the second quarter of 2024, we completed the sale of (1) 227 million Adevinta ASA (“Adevinta”) shares in exchange for $2.4 billion in cash and (2) 177 million Adevinta shares in exchange for 177 million shares of a new entity, Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V. (“Aurelia”). The newly acquired investment in Aurelia was valued at $1.9 billion and represented approximately 18.3 % ownership of the outstanding equity.
Concurrently, we granted Aurelia UK Feederco Limited, the buyer of our previously owned Adevinta shares, a six-month option to purchase a portion of our Aurelia shares (the “Aurelia Option”). In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Aurelia Option was exercised, upon which we sold 97 million shares in Aurelia in exchange for $1.0 billion in cash. The remaining investment represented 8.3 % of the outstanding equity of Aurelia.
The equity investment in Aurelia is accounted for under the measurement alternative as we are not able to exercise significant influence based on the governance structure of Aurelia.
In the first quarter of 2025, Aurelia implemented a recapitalization in connection with the creation of a management incentive plan. Prior to the recapitalization, we only held common shares in Aurelia. Subsequent to the recapitalization, we now hold both common and preferred shares in Aurelia.
In the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, we received cash distributions of $225 million and $194 million, respectively, related to our equity investment in Aurelia. These distributions represent a return of capital based on the nature of the transactions and terms of Aurelia’s shareholder agreement to which we are party. The distributions resulted in reductions of $214 million and $179 million, respectively, to the carrying value of the investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and foreign exchange gains of $11 million and $15 million, respectively, recognized in “Interest income and other, net” on our condensed consolidated statement of income. Cash received from the distributions was classified as investing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
The recapitalization and the shareholder distributions did not impact our ownership as we continued to own approximately 8.3 % of the total outstanding preferred and common shares of Aurelia as of March 31, 2026.
The carrying value of our remaining investment in Aurelia was $474 million as of March 31, 2026 compared to $653 million as of December 31, 2025.
Other equity investments without readily determinable fair values
Certain other individually immaterial equity investments aggregating to $189 million and $172 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are accounted for under the measurement alternative. The change in value of our other equity investments without readily determinable fair values for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

Note 6 — Derivative Instruments
Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse foreign exchange rate and interest rate movements. We do not use any of our derivative instruments for trading purposes.
We use foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows related to forecasted revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are generally one month to one year in duration but with maturities up to 24 months. The objective of the foreign exchange contracts is to ensure that ultimately the U.S. dollar-equivalent cash flows are not adversely affected by changes in the applicable U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate. We evaluate the effectiveness of our foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis.
We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on our fixed rate notes issued in November 2025 and maturing in 2035. These interest rate swaps had the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with $400 million of these notes so that the interest payable on these senior notes effectively became variable based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The duration of these interest rate contracts is for three years and five years expiring in November 2028 and 2030 respectively.
In 2024, we entered into derivative instruments to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments on anticipated debt issuance using forward-starting interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps effectively fixed the benchmark interest rate and had the economic effect of hedging the variability of forecasted interest payments for up to ten years on an anticipated debt issuance. Similar to other cash flow hedges, we recorded changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps in AOCI until the anticipated debt issuance. In November 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes, which consisted of notes maturing in 2029 and 2035. As a result, we terminated the interest rate swaps and the immaterial gain associated with the termination will be amortized to interest expense over the term of our notes due in November 2035.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted hedged transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable that the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Unrealized gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are immediately reclassified into earnings. As of March 31, 2026, we have estimated that $13 million of net derivative losses related to our foreign exchange cash flow hedges and $9 million of net derivative gains related to our interest rate cash flow hedges included in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. We classify cash flows related to our cash flow hedges as operating activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Fair Value Hedges
We have designated the interest rate swaps used to manage interest rate risk on our fixed rate notes issued in November 2025 and maturing in 2035 as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for them as fair value hedges. These transactions are designated as fair value hedges for financial accounting purposes because they protect us against changes in the fair value of certain of our fixed rate borrowings due to benchmark interest rate movements. Changes in the fair values of these interest rate swap agreements are recognized in other assets or other liabilities with a corresponding increase or decrease in long-term debt. Each quarter, the net amount between the interest we expect to pay based on SOFR plus a spread to the counterparty and the interest we expect to receive from the counterparty per the fixed rate of these senior notes is recognized as “Interest expense.”

Non-Designated Hedges
Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we primarily use to hedge monetary assets or liabilities, including intercompany balances and equity investments denominated in non-functional currencies. The gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in “Interest income and other, net,” which are offset by the foreign currency gains and losses on the related assets and liabilities that are also recognized in “Interest income and other, net.” We classify cash flows related to our non-designated hedging instruments in the same line item as the cash flows of the related assets or liabilities, which is generally within operating activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to the settlement of non-designated hedging instruments related to equity investments are classified within investing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Under the master netting agreements with the respective counterparties to our derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, we are allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, we have elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, the potential effect of rights of set-off associated with the foreign exchange contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities by $13 31 million and net derivative liabilities of $1 million. As of March 31, 2026, there was no potential effect of rights of set-off associated with the interest rate contracts as there were no asset positions.

We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to, and by spreading the risk across, major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.

Our financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on both active markets (Level 1), less active markets (Level 2) and little or no market activity (Level 3). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments, identical instruments in less active markets, or models using market observable inputs. Level 3 instrument valuations typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We did not have any transfers of financial instruments between valuation levels for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, funds receivable, accounts payable and funds payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when we have satisfied our performance obligation and have the unconditional right to payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits is estimated based upon our assessment of various factors including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, current economic conditions reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other factors that may affect our customers’ ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts and authorized credits is immaterial as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Deferred revenue consists of fees received related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period. Due to the generally short-term duration of contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following reporting period. The amount of revenue recognized for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods was immaterial.

Senior Notes
In November 2025, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which consisted of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250 % fixed rate notes due 2029 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125 % fixed rate notes due 2035. Cash proceeds related to the issuance of our 4.250 % and 5.125 % senior notes were classified as a financing activity on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In October 2025, we redeemed the $425 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 5.900 % senior notes due in November 2025. Total cash consideration paid was $425 million, as the redemption price was equal to 100 % of the principal amount. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount. Cash paid related to the redemption was classified as a financing activity on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In March 2025, we repaid the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 1.900 % senior notes due 2025 on the date of maturity. Cash paid related to the repayment was classified as a financing activity on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
We may redeem some or all of our outstanding fixed rate notes at any time prior to maturity, generally at a make-whole redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the applicable series of notes) occurs with respect to any of our outstanding fixed rate notes, we must, subject to certain exceptions, offer to repurchase all of the notes of the applicable series at a price equal to 101 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The indenture pursuant to which the senior notes were issued includes customary covenants that, among other things and subject to exceptions, limit our ability to incur, assume or guarantee debt secured by liens on specified assets or enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to specified properties, and also includes customary events of default with customary grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults.
In connection with the November 2025 issuance of senior notes, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted $400 million of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt based on the SOFR. These swaps were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate senior notes resulting from changes in interest rates. The gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps substantially offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that are attributable to changes in market interest rates.
The effective interest rates for our senior notes include the interest payable, the amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of any original issue discount and premium on these senior notes. Interest on these senior notes is payable either quarterly or semiannually. Interest expense associated with these senior notes, including amortization of debt issuance costs, was $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $57 million for the same period in 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of these senior notes, using Level 2 inputs, was $6.2 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively.
Commercial Paper
We have a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper is carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no 450 million aggregate principal amount of the previously outstanding commercial paper notes on the dates of maturity and issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of commercial paper notes, of which $360 million aggregate principal amount had original maturities less than 90 days and $215 million aggregate principal amount had original maturities greater than 90 days. Cash proceeds related to the issuance of commercial paper and cash used to repay commercial paper were classified as financing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Credit Agreement
We have a credit agreement maturing in January 2029 that provides for an unsecured $2.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility. We may also, subject to the agreement of the applicable lenders, increase the commitments under the revolving credit facility by up to $1.0 billion. Funds borrowed under the credit agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and bear interest at either (i) a customary forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate published by CME Group for the relevant interest period plus an adjustment of 0.1 % or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus a margin (based on our public debt ratings) ranging from 0 % to 0.375 %.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
As of March 31, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under our $2.0 billion credit agreement. However, as described above, we have an up to $1.5 billion commercial paper program and are required to maintain available borrowing capacity under our credit agreement in order to repay commercial paper borrowings in the event we are unable to repay those borrowings from other sources when they become due, in an aggregate amount of $1.5 billion. As of March 31, 2026, we had no commercial paper notes outstanding; therefore, $2.0 billion of borrowing capacity was available for other purposes permitted by the credit agreement, subject to customary conditions to borrowing. The credit agreement includes a covenant limiting our consolidated leverage ratio to no more than 4.0 :1.0, subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified material acquisition, if so elected by us, a step-up to 4.5 :1.0 for the four fiscal quarters completed following such qualified material acquisition. The credit agreement includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods in certain circumstances, including payment defaults, cross-defaults and bankruptcy-related defaults. In addition, the credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens and subsidiary indebtedness, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The credit agreement also contains customary representations and warranties.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants on our outstanding debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, 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.
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
We are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings on an ongoing basis. If we believe that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated liability in our financial statements. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For those proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable, we have disclosed an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses or we have concluded that an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising directly from the proceeding (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) is not material. If we cannot estimate the probable or reasonably possible loss or range of losses arising from a proceeding, we have disclosed that fact. In assessing the materiality of a proceeding, we evaluate, among other factors, the amount of monetary damages claimed, as well as the potential impact of non-monetary remedies sought by plaintiffs (e.g., injunctive relief) that may require us to change our business practices in a manner that could have a material adverse impact on our business. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
Amounts accrued for legal and regulatory proceedings were not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We have concluded, based on currently available information, that reasonably possible losses arising directly from the proceedings (i.e., monetary damages or amounts paid in judgment or settlement) in excess of our recognized accruals are also not material. However, legal and regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to uncertainties. If one or more matters were resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the impact on our operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material.
Indemnification Provisions
We entered into a separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements with PayPal to govern the separation and relationship of the two companies. These agreements provide for specific indemnity and liability obligations and could lead to disputes between us and PayPal, which may be significant. In addition, the indemnity rights we have against PayPal under the agreements may not be sufficient to protect us and our indemnity obligations to PayPal may be significant.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers and with certain other persons who serve as officers or directors of certain of our subsidiaries. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with us.
In the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with which we have commercial relations, including our standard marketing, promotions and application programming interface license agreements. Under these contracts, we may indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by a third party with respect to intellectual property infringement, including to our trademarks, logos and proprietary software, and other branding elements, such as domain names, to the extent that such are applicable to our performance under the subject agreement. In certain cases, we have agreed to provide indemnification for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud and breach of representations, warranties and applicable law. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each

Note 11 — Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count and return value to stockholders. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. Our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash. Cash paid related to the repurchase of common stock was classified as a financing activity on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In February 2026, our Audit Committee authorized an incremental $2.0 billion under our stock repurchase program in addition to the $5.0 billion previously authorized in 2024. Our stock repurchase program has no expiration from the date of authorization.
The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under our stock repurchase programs for the period indicated (in millions, except per share amounts):

In April 2026, our Audit Committee declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock to be paid on June 12, 2026 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2026.

Note 13 — Income Taxes
We are subject to both direct and indirect taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We are under examination by certain tax authorities for the 2017 to 2024 tax years. We believe that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from these or other examinations. The material jurisdictions where we are subject to potential examination by tax authorities for tax years after 2009 include, among others, the United States (at the federal level and in the State of California), Germany, India, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
We have recognized the tax consequences of all foreign unremitted earnings and management has no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of the balance sheet date. In the second quarter of 2025, we made the final payment of $292 million related to the repatriation of foreign earnings previously included in “Income taxes payable” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. We have not provided for deferred taxes on outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to unremitted earnings. These basis differences will be indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these other components of our outside basis difference is not practicable.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development and certain capital expenditures, as well as other changes related to the taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. We recorded a $65 million net tax benefit in 2025 related to the effects of this Act.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in conjunction with “Forward-Looking Statement” and the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report, and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K. This section of this Form 10-Q generally discusses items relating to the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and comparisons between the respective periods.
OVERVIEW
Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, when we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” “eBay” or the “Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we mean eBay Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business
eBay Inc. is a global commerce leader that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. Our technology empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world, providing everyone the opportunity to grow and thrive. Our Marketplace platforms, including our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com and its localized counterparts, our off-platform marketplaces and our suite of mobile apps, together, create one of the world's largest and most vibrant marketplaces for discovering great value and a unique selection.
As a global commerce leader and third-party marketplace, our technologies and services are designed to provide buyers choice and a breadth of relevant inventory from around the globe and to enable sellers’ access to eBay’s 136 million buyers worldwide. Our business model is designed such that we are successful when our sellers are successful. We earn revenue primarily through fees collected on paid transactions, first-party advertising and shipping.
eBay’s strategy is centered on reinventing the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts by delivering trusted, engaging shopping experiences for our customers. Our approach leverages our 30+ years of global commerce expertise and data with advanced technology, including the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), to enhance the marketplace experience, reduce transactional friction and drive operational efficiency. Our Marketplace platforms enable buyers and sellers to benefit from our global scale and continued investments in technology, marketing and customer service. We provide a comprehensive suite of features and services designed to enhance the overall customer experience, leveraging innovation and trust-based programs to simplify commerce, improve efficiency and strengthen engagement and consumer confidence across our global marketplaces.
FX-Neutral Presentation
In addition to presenting net revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we also present foreign exchange neutral (“FX-Neutral”) net revenues to supplement our results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP and to enhance investors’ understanding of our global business performance by excluding the positive or negative year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements on reported net revenues. We define FX-Neutral net revenues as GAAP net revenues minus the exchange rate effect, which we calculate by applying prior period foreign currency exchange rates to current year transactional currency amounts, excluding hedging activity. We believe presenting FX-Neutral net revenues provides useful information to both management and investors by isolating the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that may not be indicative of our core operating results. In addition, as we have historically reported certain FX-Neutral results to investors, we believe that continuing to include these FX-Neutral measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. FX-Neutral net revenues are non-GAAP financial measures that are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and may be calculated differently than other “FX-Neutral,” “constant currency,” or similarly titled measures used by other companies. FX-Neutral net revenues are not presented as an alternative to GAAP net revenues and should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with GAAP net revenues.

In April 2026, our Audit Committee declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock to be paid on June 12, 2026 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2026.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have one reportable segment, which reflects how our chief operating decision maker, our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses performance of the business. This reportable segment includes our online marketplace located at www.ebay.com and its localized counterparts, our off-platform marketplaces, and our suite of mobile apps. The accounting policies of this segment are the same as those described in “Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Net Revenues
We generate revenues from the following activities:
Marketplace revenues primarily consist of commissions related to the connection service including final value fees, listing fees, feature fees, and foreign exchange fees. Marketplace revenues also include store subscription fees, shipping fees, and certain other fees. Marketplace revenues are reduced by customer incentive programs, including discounts, coupons, and rewards.
Advertising revenues primarily consist of fees charged to sellers to promote their listings on our Marketplace platforms, as well as third-party advertising fees.

Seasonality
We expect volume on our Marketplace platforms to trend with general consumer buying patterns. Seasonal trends in net revenues have been, and we expect in the future will be, influenced by macroeconomic conditions, including tariffs and global trade policies, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, as well as new and updated products and initiatives by us and our competitors.

(1)Net revenues included $13 million of hedging losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8 million of hedging gains during the same period in 2025.
Our Marketplace platforms operate globally, resulting in certain revenues that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and euro. Year-over-year appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar may have a material impact to our financial results; we have experienced and may continue to experience elevated foreign currency volatility in the future, including as a result of tariffs, global trade announcements, war and other uncertainties. Through our hedging programs, we actively monitor foreign currency volatility and attempt to mitigate significant movements. As shown in the table above, we generate approximately half of our net revenues internationally. Therefore, we are subject to the risks related to conducting business in foreign countries as discussed in “Part I — Item 1A: Risk Factors” of the 2025 Form 10-K.
Foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar had a favorable impact of $78 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to an unfavorable impact of $21 million during the same period in 2025. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and other major currencies.
Key Operating Metrics
GMV and take rate are significant factors that we believe affect our net revenues.
GMV consists of the total value of all paid transactions between users on our Marketplace platforms during the applicable period inclusive of shipping fees and taxes, without adjustment for returns or cancellations. We believe that GMV provides a useful measure of the overall volume of paid transactions that flow through our Marketplace platforms in a given period.
FX-Neutral GMV is defined as GMV minus the exchange rate effect, which we calculate by applying prior period foreign currency exchange rates to current year transactional currency amounts.
Take rate is defined as net revenues divided by GMV and represents net revenue as a percentage of overall volume on our Marketplace platforms. We believe that take rate provides a useful measure of our ability to monetize volume through services on our Marketplace platforms in a given period. We use take rate to identify key revenue drivers.

(1)Net revenues included $13 million of hedging losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8 million of hedging gains during the same period in 2025.
Net revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher GMV, increased first party advertising penetration, and higher volume and favorable rates associated with our U.S. net shipping program. The increase in first party advertising revenue was driven by increased adoption and attribution changes that enhanced our ability to convert first-party ads, which increased monetization during the period.
The increase in GMV during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by the continued execution of our strategic initiatives and improved U.S. consumer demand with growth improving sequentially across all our major categories. GMV growth across Focus Categories, C2C and Recommerce, which includes pre-owned and refurbished, outpaced the remainder of our Marketplace, with particularly strong performance in Collectibles, Motors Parts & Accessories, Fashion and Electronics. C2C growth outpaced B2C growth across the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. These increases were partially offset by continued challenging macroeconomic conditions across certain international markets.
Cost of Net Revenues
Cost of net revenues represents costs associated with customer support, site operations and payment processing. Significant components of these costs primarily consist of employee compensation (including stock-based compensation), contractor costs, facilities costs, depreciation of equipment and amortization expense, bank transaction fees, credit card interchange and assessment fees, authentication costs, shipping costs and indirect tax expenses.

(2)Foreign currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar had an unfavorable impact of $17 million on cost of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to favorable impact of $5 million during the same period in 2025.
The increase in cost of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to increases of $38 million driven by payment processing volume, $17 million due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency movements, $16 million in cost of promoted listings products and $12 million in data center costs.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of marketing program costs, employee compensation (including stock-based compensation), certain user coupons and rewards, contractor costs, facilities costs and depreciation on equipment. Marketing program costs represent promotional expenses incurred across various channels, such as paid search, affiliate marketing, display advertising, brand campaigns and buyer/seller communications.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to increases of $89 million in marketing program costs, $27 million due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency movements and $16 million in employee-related costs.
Product Development
Product development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation (including stock-based compensation), contractor costs, facilities costs and depreciation on equipment. Our top technology priorities include improving seller tools and buyer experiences across our Marketplace platforms powered by intelligent computing at scale.
The increase in product development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation (including stock-based compensation), contractor costs, facilities costs, depreciation of equipment, legal expenses, restructuring, insurance premiums and professional fees. Our legal expenses, including those related to various ongoing legal proceedings, may fluctuate substantially from period to period.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to $104 million of restructuring costs and executive bonuses and $35 million in employee-related costs.

Transaction Losses
Transaction losses consist primarily of losses resulting from our buyer protection programs, chargebacks for unauthorized credit card use, and merchant related chargebacks due to non-delivery of goods or services. We expect our transaction losses to fluctuate depending on many factors, including changes to our protection programs, macroeconomic conditions and volume.
The increase in transaction losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to $17 million from the ramping of new initiatives, $15 million from higher volume and rate fluctuations and $11 million from unfavorable fluctuations in buyer and seller fraud and recovery rates.
Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net
Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net primarily consists of gains and losses related to our various types of equity investments. Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Refer to “Note 5 — Investments” for further details about our equity investments.
Interest Expense, Interest Income and Other, Net
Interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on amounts borrowed, commitment fees on unborrowed amounts under our credit agreement and interest expense on our outstanding debt securities and commercial paper, as applicable. Interest income and other, net primarily consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, investments and customer accounts, gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions and transaction costs of acquisitions.

Continuing Operating Activities
Our operating cash flows are largely dependent on the amount of revenue generated on our Marketplace platforms, offset by cash payments for marketing programs, employee-related costs, payment processing and taxes.
Cash provided by continuing operating activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to an increase in net revenues and other working capital movements.
Continuing Investing Activities
Cash provided by continuing investing activities of $783 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to proceeds of $684 million from the sale of investments, $352 million from the maturities of investments and $194 million from shareholder distributions from equity investments, partially offset by cash paid for investments of $364 million and property and equipment of $72 million.
Cash provided by continuing investing activities of $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to proceeds of $4.6 billion from the maturities of investments, partially offset by cash paid for investments of $3.0 billion and property and equipment of $111 million.
Continuing Financing Activities
Cash used in continuing financing activities of $561 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to the $486 million paid to repurchase common stock and $139 million paid in cash dividends.
Cash used in continuing financing activities of $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the repayment of the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 1.900% senior notes due 2025, $615 million paid to repurchase common stock, the $441 million repayment of commercial paper, and $134 million paid in cash dividends, partially offset by proceeds of $568 million from the issuance of commercial paper.
The negative effect of exchange rate movements on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the 2025 was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had assets classified as cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term and long-term non-equity investments, in an aggregate amount of $5.1 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. These amounts do not include cash held on behalf of customers related to marketplace activity of $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, which are recognized separately within “Customer accounts and funds receivable” with a corresponding liability within “Customer accounts and funds payable” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. These amounts also do not include restricted cash related to safeguarding customer funds, our global sabbatical program, and other compensation arrangements held in escrow totaling $154 million and $171 million, respectively. We believe these assets, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, borrowings available under our credit agreement and commercial paper program, and our access to capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy our material cash requirements over the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.
Geopolitical events, inflationary pressure, foreign exchange rate volatility, elevated interest rates, and changes in and uncertainty regarding global tariffs and trade policies have caused material disruptions in both the United States and international financial markets and economies and the duration of these disruptions remains uncertain. The impact of these events has increased, and may continue to increase, our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The future impact of these events cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot provide assurance that we will have access to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments for general operating purposes. Changes in our business needs, contractual cancellation provisions, fluctuating interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of these payments. The following sections summarize our fixed contractual obligations and commitments and other material cash requirements.
Senior Notes
In November 2025, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which consisted of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% fixed rate notes due 2029 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% fixed rate notes due 2035.
In October 2025, we redeemed the $425 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 5.900% senior notes due in November 2025. Total cash consideration paid was $425 million, as the redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount.
In March 2025, we repaid the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 1.900% senior notes due 2025 on the date of maturity.
As of March 31, 2026, we had fixed-rate senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $6.8 billion, with $750 million aggregate principal amount payable within 12 months.
Commercial Paper
We have a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper is carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no commercial paper notes outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repaid the $450 million aggregate principal amount of the previously outstanding commercial paper notes on the dates of maturity and issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of commercial paper notes, of which $360 million aggregate principal amount had original maturities less than 90 days and $215 million aggregate principal amount had original maturities greater than 90 days.

Credit Agreement
We have a credit agreement maturing in January 2029 that provides for an unsecured $2.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility. We may also, subject to the agreement of the applicable lenders, increase the commitments under the revolving credit facility by up to $1.0 billion. Funds borrowed under the credit agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and will bear interest at either (i) a customary forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate published by CME Group for the relevant interest period plus an adjustment of 0.1% or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus a margin (based on our public debt ratings) ranging from 0% to 0.375%. The covenants of the credit agreement are discussed in “Note 9 — Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. As of March 31, 2026, we had no commercial paper notes outstanding; therefore, $2.0 billion of borrowing capacity was available for other purposes permitted by the credit agreement.
Income Taxes
As of March 31, 2026, our assets classified as cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term and long-term non-equity investments included assets held in certain of our foreign operations totaling $1.1 billion. As we repatriate these funds to the United States, we will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes on those amounts during the period when such repatriation occurs. We have accrued deferred taxes for the tax effect of repatriating the funds to the United States. For additional details related to our income taxes, please see “Income Tax Provision” in our Results of Operations above and “Note 13 — Income Taxes” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Acquisition of Depop, Inc.
In February 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Depop, Inc. for approximately $1.2 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The transaction is currently expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and receipt of required regulatory approvals. We intend to fund the transaction with cash on hand.
Stock Repurchases
Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count and return value to stockholders. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives.
We expect to continue making opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock, subject to market conditions and other uncertainties. However, our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash.
In February 2026, our Audit Committee authorized an incremental $2.0 billion under our stock repurchase program in addition to the $5.0 billion previously authorized in 2024. Our stock repurchase program has no expiration from the date of authorization.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $500 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, a total of $2.3 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock. See “Note 11 — Stockholders’ Equity” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information about our stock repurchase program.

Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid a total of $139 million in cash dividends compared to $134 million paid during the same period in 2025. In April 2026, our Audit Committee declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock to be paid on June 12, 2026 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2026.
Other Capital Resource Requirements
We actively monitor significant counterparties that hold our cash and cash equivalents and non-equity investments, focusing primarily on the safety of principal and secondarily on improving yield on these assets. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents and investments among various counterparties in order to reduce our exposure should any one of these counterparties fail or encounter difficulties. To date, we have not experienced any material loss or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of the impact of geopolitical events, inflationary pressure, changes in and uncertainty regarding global tariffs and global trade policies, and foreign exchange rate volatility. At any point in time we have funds in our operating accounts and customer accounts that are deposited and invested with various third-party financial institutions.
We have entered into various indemnification agreements and, in the ordinary course of business, we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with which we have commercial relations. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these various indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, losses recognized on our condensed consolidated statement of income in connection with our indemnification provisions have not been significant, either individually or collectively. See “Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information about our indemnification provisions.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our investments and outstanding debt. In addition, adverse economic conditions and events (including volatility or distress in the equity and/or debt or credit markets) may impact regional and global financial markets. These events and conditions could cause us to write down our assets or investments. We seek to reduce earnings volatility that may result from adverse economic conditions and events or changes in interest rates.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time improving yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our cash equivalents, customer accounts and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of asset types, including bank deposits, corporate bonds, commercial paper and government and agency securities. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 57% of our total cash and investments were held in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Customer accounts.” As such, changes in interest rates will impact interest income. As discussed below, the fair market values of our fixed-rate securities may be adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, and we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.
As of March 31, 2026, the balance of our corporate bonds, commercial paper and government and agency securities was $2.2 billion, which represented approximately 31% of our total cash and investments. Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest-earning instruments carry varying degrees of interest rate risk. The fair market value of our fixed-rate investment securities may be adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. In general, fixed-rate securities with longer maturities are subject to greater interest rate risk than those with shorter maturities. While floating rate securities generally are subject to less interest rate risk than fixed-rate securities, floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates decrease and may also suffer a decline in market value if interest rates increase. Due in part to these factors, our investment income may fall short of expectations or we may suffer losses in principal if we sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 1% (100 basis point) increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our investments of $28 million and $30 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Further changes in interest rates will impact “Interest expense” on any borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which bear interest at floating rates, and the interest rate on any commercial paper borrowings we make and any debt securities we may issue in the future and, accordingly, will impact interest expense. For additional details related to our debt, see “Note 9 — Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Equity Price Risk
Equity Investments
Our equity investments are primarily investments in privately-held companies. Our consolidated results of operations include, as a component of “Interest income and other, net,” our share of the net income or loss of the equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and as a component of “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net,” the change in fair value of the equity investments accounted for under the fair value option. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are accounted for at cost, less impairment and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes obtained from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments issued by the same investee. Such changes in the basis of the equity investment are recognized in “Gain (loss) on equity investments and warrants, net.”
As of March 31, 2026, our equity investments totaled $766 million, which represented approximately 11% of our total cash and investments.
For additional details related to these investments, please see “Note 5 — Investments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Foreign Currency Risk
Our Marketplace platforms operate globally, resulting in certain revenues and costs that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the British pound and the euro, subjecting us to foreign currency risk, which may adversely impact our financial results. We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues as well as costs. In addition, we charge our international subsidiaries for their use of intellectual property and technology and for certain corporate services we provide. Our cash flow and results of operations that are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations may differ materially from expectations and we may record significant gains or losses due to foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities.
We have a foreign exchange exposure management program designed to identify material foreign currency exposures, manage these exposures and reduce the potential effects of currency fluctuations in our reported condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and results of operations through the purchase of foreign currency exchange contracts. The effectiveness of the program and resulting usage of foreign exchange derivative contracts is at times limited by our ability to achieve cash flow hedge accounting. For additional details related to our derivative instruments, please see “Note 6 — Derivative Instruments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
We use foreign exchange derivative contracts to help protect our forecasted U.S. dollar-equivalent earnings from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but cannot eliminate, the impact of adverse currency exchange rate movements. Most of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. For contracts not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, the derivative’s gain or loss is recognized immediately in earnings on our condensed consolidated statement of income. However, only certain revenue and costs are eligible for cash flow hedge accounting.
The following table illustrates the fair values of outstanding foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange contracts not designated for hedge accounting and the before-tax effect on fair values of a hypothetical adverse change in the foreign exchange rates that existed as of March 31, 2026. The sensitivity for foreign currency contracts is based on a 20% adverse change in foreign exchange rates, against relevant functional currencies.
Fair Value Asset | Fair Value Sensitivity | ||||||||||
| (In millions) | |||||||||||
| Foreign exchange contracts - Cash flow hedges | $ | 24 | $ | (79) | |||||||
| Foreign exchange contracts - Not designated for hedge accounting | $ | 6 | $ | (53) | |||||||
Since our risk management programs are highly effective, the potential loss in value described above would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.
We also use foreign exchange contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk on our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. These contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our assets and liabilities. The foreign currency gains and losses on the assets and liabilities are recognized in “Interest income and other, net,” which are offset by the gains and losses on the foreign exchange contracts.
We considered the historical trends in currency exchange rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that adverse changes in exchange rates of 20% for all currencies could be experienced in the near term. Taking into consideration the offsetting effect of foreign exchange forwards in place, these changes would have resulted in an adverse impact of $7 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes as of March 31, 2026.

(1)Our stock repurchase program is intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count and return value to stockholders. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase program may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives.
In February 2026, our Audit Committee authorized an incremental $2.0 billion under our stock repurchase program in addition to the $5.0 billion previously authorized in 2024. Our stock repurchase program has no expiration from the date of authorization.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $500 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, a total of $2.3 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock.
We expect, subject to market conditions and other uncertainties, to continue making opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock. However, our stock repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash.
(2)Excludes immaterial broker commissions and excise tax accruals.
