You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described or incorporated by reference in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), as may be updated from time to time by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or other quarterly or periodic filings.

The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted)
(unaudited)
1. Business Overview and Basis of Presentation
Marqeta, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2010 and creates digital payment technology for innovation leaders. The Company's modern card issuing platform empowers its customers to create customized and innovative payment card programs, giving them the configurability and flexibility to build better payment experiences.
The Company provides all of its customers issuer processor services and for most of its customers it also acts as a card program manager. The Company primarily earns revenue from processing card transactions for its customers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (“SEC”), for interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make various estimates and assumptions relating to reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, the estimation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of equity awards and warrants, share-based compensation, the estimation of variable consideration in contracts with customers, the cumulative network incentive rate the Company expects to earn during the annual measurement period, the reserve for contract contingencies and processing errors and valuation of income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Business Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has incurred net losses each quarter since its inception with the exception of the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $806.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company expects to incur net losses from operations for the foreseeable future as it incurs costs and expenses related to creating new products for customers, acquiring new customers, developing its brand, expanding into new geographies and continued development of the existing platform infrastructure. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $732.7 million and short-term investments of $88.9 million as of June 30, 2025 are sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
Costs of Revenue
The Company has marketing and incentive arrangements with Card Networks, that provide the Company with monetary incentives for establishing customer card programs with and routing transaction volume through the respective Card Networks. These incentives are typically calculated as a percentage of the processed transaction volume or the number of transactions routed through the Card Network. The Company accounts for these incentives as a reduction of Card Network fees within Costs of Revenue in customer arrangements where the Company acts as the principal. As processing volumes increase, the Company earns a higher cumulative incentive rate, subject to achieving specific cumulative volume thresholds within an annual measurement period. For certain incentive arrangements, the annual measurement period may not align with the Company’s fiscal year.
Prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recognized network incentives in the period when cumulative transaction volume thresholds were met, due to insufficient data to reliably estimate the incentives the Card Networks would ultimately earn over the respective annual period. This approach resulted in fluctuations in Card Network fees, particularly when thresholds were reached, as higher incentive rates were applied retroactively to the entire measurement period. Historically, the Company has earned the highest incentive rates in the first quarter of its fiscal year, when annual measurement periods are nearing completion and higher cumulative transaction volume thresholds are achieved. Conversely, the second quarter generally reflected the lowest incentive rates, as the annual measurement periods and cumulative transaction volume thresholds reset to lower levels.
Effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its accounting policy for estimating and recognizing network incentives. The Company now estimates and recognizes network incentives based on the cumulative incentive rates it expects to earn over the annual measurement period. The Company estimates the cumulative incentive rates based on its forecasts for the annual measurement periods, which incorporate both historical experience and our expectations of future events, in addition to other qualitative considerations. The cumulative incentive rates are applied to the volume and/or number of transactions processed during the reporting period to calculate the quarterly network incentives recognized. As a result of this policy revision, the Card Network incentives recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $6.8 million higher compared to the amount that would have been recognized under the previous policy.
Uncollected incentives are included in Network incentives receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's contracts with Card Networks and Issuing Banks generally have terms ranging between three to five years, with options for renewal in one- to two-year increments upon mutual agreement.
There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The standard is effective for the Company’s annual period beginning January 1, 2025, with interim disclosures required for the period beginning January 1, 2026. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard prospectively and is currently evaluating the operational and financial reporting implications of this standard.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed
information to investors about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal 2027 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the operational and financial reporting implications of this standard.

9. Leases
In 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its principal executive office located in Oakland, California (the “Oakland lease”), for 19,000 square feet of office space, which was subsequently amended resulting in a total of 63,000 square feet of office space being leased. The Company’s lease payments consist primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms. The Company is responsible for operating expenses that exceed the amount of base operating expenses as defined in the original lease agreement.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company amended its Oakland lease, extending the term for certain floors by 24 months. The lease modification was not accounted for as a separate contract, and the extension has been accounted for as an operating lease. Accordingly, the Company recorded an increase to the Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $3.5 million, which represents the present value of the lease payments for the 24-month extension
The Company's operating lease costs are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
Operating lease cost | $ | 592 | | | $ | 894 | | | $ | 1,236 | | | $ | 1,737 | |
Variable lease cost | 128 | | | 188 | | | 280 | | | 340 | |
Short-term lease cost | 159 | | | 134 | | | 309 | | | 187 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total lease cost | $ | 879 | | | $ | 1,215 | | | $ | 1,825 | | | $ | 2,263 | |
The Company does not have any sublease income and the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The weighted average remaining operating lease term and the weighted average discount rate used in the calculation of the Company's lease assets and lease liabilities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Weighted average remaining operating lease term (in years) | 2.2 | | 1.1 |
Weighted average discount rate | 4.6% | | 7.6% |
Maturities of operating lease liabilities by year are as follows as of June 30, 2025:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Operating Leases |
2025 (remaining) | | $ | 2,470 | |
2026 | | 2,403 | |
2027 | | 1,861 | |
2028 | | 312 | |
| | |
| | |
Total lease payments | | 7,046 | |
Less imputed interest | | (309) | |
Total operating lease liabilities | | $ | 6,737 | |
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Letter of Credit and Restricted Cash
In connection with the Oakland lease, the Company is required to provide the landlord a $1.5 million letter of credit. The Company has secured this letter of credit by depositing $1.5 million with the issuing financial institution. In April 2025, the lease was amended, which extended the lease for a reduced amount of office space by two years. As part of the extension, the letter of credit will be reduced to $0.9 million effective on March 1, 2026, with an expiration date of February 2028. As of June 30, 2025, $0.9 million of restricted cash is recorded in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to reflect the extended obligation, while the remaining $0.6 million, expiring in February 2026, remains in current assets as Restricted cash.
Additionally, Restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets includes a $7.0 million deposit held at an Issuing Bank, which serves as collateral to ensure settlement of customer transactions with the Card Networks, in the event that customer funds are not deposited in time.
Legal Contingencies
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal matters such as threatened or pending claims or proceedings. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no legal contingency matters, either individually or in aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, the Company bases its assessment on the information available at the time the financials are available to be issued. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the probability of the loss contingency and the potential liability, and may revise the estimate.
On December 9, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit, captioned Wai v. Marqeta, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-08874 (N.D. Cal.), was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California (“Court”) against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer (“Defendants”) alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit asserts that Defendants made false or misleading statements relating to the Company’s performance or revenue and gross profit expectations in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
On December 10, 2024, a second putative securities class action lawsuit, captioned Ford v. Marqeta, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-08892 (N.D. Cal.), was filed in the same Court against the same Defendants alleging violations of the same federal securities laws. The second lawsuit asserts similar theories of liability as the first lawsuit. Both lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Actions”) seek to recover damages on behalf of shareholders who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during their respective putative class periods. The Securities Actions have been consolidated into one consolidated securities litigation captioned In re Marqeta, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 24-08874-YGR (N.D. Cal) and the Court has appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel in the matter. On April 10, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges a putative class period of between February 28, 2024 and November 4, 2024. The Company and the other Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on May 15, 2025.
Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of any potential loss.
Settlement of Payment Transactions
Generally, customers deposit a certain amount of pre-funding into accounts maintained at Issuing Banks to settle their payment transactions. Such pre-funding amounts may only be used to settle customers’ payment transactions and are not considered assets of the Company. As such, the funds held in customers’ accounts at Issuing Banks are not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If a customer does not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction, the Company is liable to the Issuing Bank to settle the transaction and would therefore incur losses if such amounts cannot be subsequently recovered from the customer. The Company did not incur losses of this nature during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which it agrees to indemnify customers, Card Networks, Issuing Banks, vendors, lessors, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses or expenses arising out of the breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. With respect to Issuing Banks, the Company has received requests for indemnification from time to time and may indemnify an Issuing Bank for losses such Issuing Bank may incur for non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, if those losses resulted from the Company’s failure to perform under its program agreement. No significant claims have been incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements, and the Company is not aware of any claims that could have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company also includes service level commitments to its customers, warranting certain levels of performance and permitting these customers to receive credits in the event the Company fails to meet the levels outlined in their respective agreements. No material credits were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Vested as of June 30, 2025 | 8,201 | | | $ | 7.81 | | | 5.14 | | $ | 12,414 | |
(1) Intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price of in-the-money-stock options and the fair value of the common stock as of the respective balance sheet dates.
(2) The 2011 Plan allows for early exercise of stock options. Accordingly, options granted under this plan are included as exercisable stock options regardless of vesting status.
As of June 30, 2025, aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested outstanding stock options was $4.7 million. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
12. Stockholders’ Equity Transactions
Share Repurchase Programs
On May 6, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other methods, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Repurchase decisions, including timing and volume of repurchases, are based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including legal requirements. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program had no set expiration date and was fully completed by March 31, 2025.
On February 25, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program for up to $300 million of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Repurchase decisions are based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including legal requirements. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program has no set expiration date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 19.2 million shares under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program for a total cost of $80.5 million, at an average price of $4.20 per share. The aggregate cost of the shares repurchased and the related transaction costs and excise taxes of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are reflected as a reduction to common stock and Additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 35.2 million and 42.3 million shares under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program for $162.9 million and $193.1 million, at an average price of $4.64 and $4.58 per share, respectively. The aggregate cost of the shares repurchased and the related transaction costs and excise taxes of $2.1 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, are reflected as a reduction to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, $106.9 million remained available for future share repurchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.

Repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program were completed by March 31, 2024.
13. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. In periods when the Company reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive.
The Company calculated basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |

As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical for Class A common stock and Class B common stock, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting income or loss per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect as the Company was in a loss position during the periods:

| | | | | | | |
14. Income Tax
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income tax expense for both respective periods was primarily attributable to income tax expense in profitable foreign jurisdictions.
The Company is subject to income tax audits in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The Company records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and believes that it has provided adequate reserves for income tax uncertainties in all open tax years.
In July 2025, Congress passed and the President signed into law H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Tax Act"), which addresses certain business tax provisions enacted as a part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including restoration of 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) and Section 174 expensing for US-based research. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“Topic 740”) requires the tax impacts to be included in the reporting period that includes the date the Tax Act was signed into law. As the Tax Act was enacted in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the tax law changes on its financial position and results of operations.
15. Concentration Risks and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits, posing potential credit risk.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, short-term investments were $88.9 million and $179.4 million, respectively, and there was no concentration of securities of the same issuer with an aggregate fair value greater than 5% of the total balance, except for U.S. treasury securities, which amounted to $80.0 million, or 90%, at June 30, 2025 and $168.9 million, or 94%, at December 31, 2024, respectively.
A significant portion of the Company's payment transactions are settled through one Issuing Bank, Sutton Bank. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 65% and 72%, respectively, of Total Processing Volume, which is the total dollar amount of payments processed through the Company’s platform, net of returns and chargebacks, was settled through Sutton Bank. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 66% and 73%, respectively, of Total Processing Volume was settled through Sutton Bank.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from one customer. This customer accounted for 46% and 47% net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 45% and 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, two separate customers accounted for 19% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, two separate customers accounted for 13% and 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.
16. Segment Information
The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company provides a single, global, cloud-based, open API platform for modern card issuing and transaction processing, and primarily earns revenue from processing card transactions for its customers. As such, the Company operates as a single operating segment and reporting unit.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income or loss as the measure of profit and loss and consolidated total assets. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM uses net income or loss in the annual budgeting process and subsequent monitoring of budget versus actual results as well as in assessing the return on consolidated total assets.
The following is the information used by the CODM in assessing segment performance:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

1 - The Company operates as a single reportable segment that is managed on a consolidated basis, therefore the Company’s segment net (loss) income is the same as the Company’s consolidated net (loss) income.
Net revenue outside of the United States, based on the billing address of the customer, was 13% and 10%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 12% and 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-lived assets located outside of the United States were not material and not used by the CODM in assessing and evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2024 Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. As discussed in the section titled “Note About Forward Looking Statements”, our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth or incorporated by reference under the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2024 Annual Report.
Overview
Marqeta’s mission is modernizing financial services by making the entire payment experience native and delightful. Marqeta’s modern platform empowers our customers to create customized and innovative payment card programs with configurability and flexibility. Marqeta’s open APIs provide instant access to highly scalable, cloud-based payment infrastructure that enables customers to embed the payments experience into apps or websites for a personalized user experience. Customers can launch and manage their own card programs, issue cards, and authorize and settle payment transactions quickly using our platform. We also deliver robust card program management, allowing our customers to embed Marqeta in their offering without having to build certain complex compliance elements or customer support services.
Marqeta’s innovative products are developed with deep domain expertise and a customer-first mindset to launch, scale, and manage card programs. Marqeta provides all of its customers with issuer processor services, and for most of its customers it also acts as a card program manager. Depending on a customer’s desired level of control and responsibility, Marqeta can work with companies in a range of different configurations, but generally provides the following offerings:
•Managed By Marqeta: With Managed By Marqeta (“MxM”), Marqeta typically connects customers to an Issuing Bank partner to act as the Bank Identification Number (“BIN”) sponsor for the customer’s card program, manages the customer’s card program on behalf of the Issuing Bank, and provides a full range of services including configuring many of the critical resources required by a customer’s production environment. In addition to providing the customer access to the Marqeta dashboard via our APIs, Marqeta also manages a number of the primary tasks related to launching a card program, such as defining and managing the program with the Card Networks and Issuing Bank, operating the program and managing certain profitability components, and managing compliance with applicable regulations, the Issuing Bank, and Card Network rules. Also available are a variety of managed services, including dispute management, fraud scoring, card fulfillment, reconciliation, and cardholder support services.
•Powered By Marqeta: With Powered By Marqeta (“PxM”), Marqeta also provides customers access to the Marqeta dashboard via our APIs, provides payment processing, and assists with certain configuration elements that enable the customer to use the platform independently. Generally, our PxM customers are responsible for other elements of the card program, including defining and managing the program with the Card Networks and Issuing Bank as well as managing compliance with applicable regulations, the Issuing Bank, and Card Network rules.
Given the modularity of the Marqeta platform, certain customers can also opt to incorporate some elements of MxM into their card program to create a custom solution. Many customers adopt some combination of the MxM managed services even when not adopting the full MxM offering.
Impact of Macroeconomic Factors
We are unable to predict the impact macroeconomic factors, including various geopolitical conflicts, uncertainty related to global elections, changes in inflation and interest rates, and uncertainty in global regulatory and economic conditions, including as a result of uncertainty in global trade from potential tariffs and counter tariffs, will have on our processing volumes, and on our future results of operations. A deterioration in macroeconomic conditions could increase the risk of lower consumer spending, including discretionary spending, consumer and merchant bankruptcy, insolvency, business failure, higher credit losses, foreign currency fluctuations, or other business interruption, which may adversely impact our business. We continue to monitor these situations and may take actions that alter our operations and business practices as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our customers, vendors, and employees. See the section titled “Risk Factors” in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2024 Annual Report for further discussion or incorporation by reference of the possible impact of these macroeconomic factors on our business.
Key Operating Metric and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the key operating metric set forth below, to help us evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, evaluate the effectiveness of our investments, and assess operational efficiencies. In addition to the results determined in accordance with GAAP, the following table sets forth a key operating metric and non-GAAP financial measures that we consider useful in evaluating our operating performance.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Non-GAAP Measures: | | | | | | | |
Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 28,509 | | | $ | (1,817) | | | $ | 48,590 | | | $ | 7,409 | |
Adjusted EBITDA margin | 19 | % | | (1) | % | | 17 | % | | 3 | % |
Adjusted operating expenses | $ | 75,552 | | | $ | 81,170 | | | $ | 154,150 | | | $ | 156,103 | |
Total Processing Volume (“TPV”) - TPV represents the total dollar amount of payments processed through our platform, net of returns and chargebacks. We believe that TPV is a key operating metric and a principal indicator of the market adoption of our platform, growth of our brand, growth of our customers' businesses and scale of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as Net (loss) income adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; executive chairman long-term performance award; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; acquisition related expenses which consist of due diligence costs, transaction costs and integration costs related to potential or successful acquisitions and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses; income tax expense; and other income, net, which consists primarily of interest income from our short-term investments and cash deposits, impairment of financial instruments, and realized foreign currency gains and losses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our Board of Directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including our operating efficiencies, from period to period. Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an input into our calculation of our annual employee bonus plans and performance-based restricted stock units. See the section below titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the use of non-GAAP measures, a change in presentation, and a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net revenue. This measure is used by management and our Board of Directors to evaluate our operating efficiency. See the section below titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the use of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Adjusted operating expenses - Adjusted operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as Total operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; executive chairman long-term performance award; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; and acquisition-related expenses which consists of due diligence costs, transaction cost and integration costs related to potential or successful
acquisitions, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses. We believe that Adjusted operating expenses is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management and our Board of Directors to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including our operating efficiencies, from period to period. See the section below titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the use of non-GAAP measures, a change in presentation, and a reconciliation of total operating expenses to Adjusted operating expenses.
Components of Results of Operations
Net Revenue
We have two components of net revenue: platform services revenue, net and other services revenue.
Platform services revenue, net. Platform services revenue includes Interchange Fees, net of Revenue Share and other service-level payments to customers, and Card Network and Issuing Bank costs for certain customer arrangements where the Company is an agent in the delivery of services to the customer. Platform services revenue also includes processing and other fees. “Interchange Fees” are transaction-based and volume-based fees set by a Card Network and paid by a merchant bank to the Issuing Bank that issued the payment card used to purchase goods or services from a merchant. We earn Interchange Fees on card transactions we process for our customers and are based on a percentage of the transaction amount plus a fixed amount per transaction. Interchange Fees are recognized when the associated transactions are settled.
“Revenue Share” payments are incentives to our customers to increase their processing volumes on our platform. Revenue Share is generally computed as a percentage of the Interchange Fees earned or processing volume and is paid to our MxM customers monthly. Revenue Share payments are recorded as a reduction to net revenue. Generally, as customers' processing volumes increase, the rates at which we share revenue increase.
Processing and other fees are priced as either a percentage of processing volume or on a fee per transaction basis and are earned when payment cards are used at automated teller machines or to make cross-border purchases. Minimum processing fees, where customers' processing volumes fall below certain thresholds, are also included in processing and other fees.
We recognize revenue when the promised services are complete, and our performance obligations are satisfied. Platform services are considered complete when we have authorized the transaction, validated that the transaction has no errors, and accepted and posted the data to our records.
Other services revenue. Other services revenue primarily consists of revenue earned for card fulfillment services. Card fulfillment fees are generally billed to customers upon ordering card inventory and recognized as revenue when the cards are shipped to the customers.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue consist of Card Network fees, Issuing Bank fees, and card fulfillment costs for customer arrangements where we are the principal in providing services to the customer and excludes depreciation and amortization, which is reported separately within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Card Network fees are equal to a specified percentage of processing volume or a fixed amount per transaction routed through the respective Card Network. Issuing Bank fees compensate our Issuing Banks for issuing cards to our customers and sponsoring our card programs with the Card Networks and are typically equal to a specified percentage of processing volume or a fixed amount per transaction. Card fulfillment costs include physical cards, packaging, and other fulfillment costs.
We have marketing and incentive arrangements with Card Networks, that provide us with monetary incentives for establishing customer card programs with and routing transaction volume through the respective Card Networks. These incentives are typically calculated as a percentage of the processed transaction volume or the number of transactions routed through the Card Network. We account for these incentives as a reduction of Card Network fees within Costs of Revenue in customer arrangements where we act as the principal. As processing volumes increase, we earn a higher cumulative incentive rate,
subject to achieving specific cumulative volume thresholds within an annual measurement period. For certain incentive arrangements, the annual measurement period may not align with our fiscal year.
Prior to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recognized network incentives in the period when cumulative transaction volume thresholds were met, due to insufficient data to reliably estimate the amount of incentives Card Networks would ultimately earn over the respective annual period. This approach resulted in fluctuations in Card Network incentives, particularly when thresholds were reached, as higher incentive rates were applied retroactively to the entire measurement period. Historically, we have earned the highest incentive rates in the first quarter of our fiscal year, when annual measurement periods are nearing completion and higher cumulative transaction volume thresholds are achieved. Conversely, the second quarter generally reflected the lowest incentive rates, as the annual measurement periods and cumulative transaction volume thresholds reset to lower levels.
Effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we revised our accounting policy for estimating and recognizing network incentives. We now estimate and recognize network incentives based on the cumulative incentive rate we expect to earn over the annual measurement period. We estimate the cumulative incentive rates based on our forecasts for the annual measurement periods, which incorporates both historical experience and our expectations of future events, in addition to other qualitative considerations. The estimated cumulative incentive rates are applied to the volume and/or number of transactions processed during the reporting period to calculate the quarterly network incentives recognized. As a result of this policy revision, the Card Network incentives recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $6.8 million higher compared to the amount that would have been recognized under the previous policy.
Operating Expenses
Compensation and Benefits consists primarily of salaries, employee benefits, severance and other termination benefits, incentive compensation, contractors’ cost, and share-based compensation.
Technology consists primarily of third-party hosting fees, software licenses, and hardware purchases below our capitalization threshold, and support and maintenance costs.
Professional Services consists primarily of consulting, legal, audit, and recruiting fees.
Occupancy consists primarily of rent expense, repairs, maintenance, and other building related costs.
Depreciation and Amortization consists primarily of depreciation of our fixed assets and amortization of capitalized Internal-use software and developed technology intangible assets.
Marketing and Advertising consists primarily of costs of general marketing and promotional activities.
Other Operating Expenses consists primarily of insurance costs, indemnification costs, travel-related expenses, indirect state and local taxes, and other general office expenses.
Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award consists of share-based compensation related to the Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award, including the impact of forfeiture. The Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award was forfeited in the prior year as a result of the Company’s Executive Chairman transitioning to a non-employee director role on the Board of Directors.
Other Income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income from our short-term investments and cash deposits, impairment of financial instruments, and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes, and income taxes related to certain foreign jurisdictions. We maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that we will realize our net deferred tax assets.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1, the “Tax Act”) was signed into law, reinstating certain provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) and immediate expensing of U.S.-based research costs under Section 174. We are currently evaluating the impact of these tax law changes on our financial condition and results of operations. Based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on our overall tax expense or effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Total Processing Volume (TPV) (in millions) | | $ | 91,386 | | $ | 70,627 | | $ | 20,759 | | | 29 | % |
Total platform services, net revenue increased by $23.9 million, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The overall increase in platform services revenue was primarily driven by a 29% increase in TPV, partially offset by unfavorable shifts in our card program mix, particularly the expansion of programs where we provide processing services with minimal or no program management.
Other services revenue increased $1.3 million, or 21%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by higher card-related fulfillment, including one-time card replacements and increased customer card shipments.
The increase in TPV was driven by strong performance across all our major use cases, particularly financial services, lending including buy-now-pay later, and expense management. TPV for our top five customers, based on their individual processing volumes in each respective period, increased by 19% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, while TPV from all other customers, as a group, grew by 70% over the same period. Note that the composition of the top five customers may differ between the two periods.

Costs of revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was driven by higher Card Network and Issuing Bank fees related to the 29% increase in TPV, but was mostly offset by $6.8 million higher network incentives recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of the revised accounting policy. Card Network fees are reported net of monetary incentives from Card Networks for processing volume during the period.
As the increase in costs of revenue was outpaced by the net revenue growth discussed above, gross profit increased by $24.7 million, or 31%, and gross margin improved by approximately 6 percentage points for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Salaries, bonus, benefits, and payroll taxes decreased by $12.5 million, or 19%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower post-combination compensation expenses for former Power Finance employees and an increase in capitalized salaries, bonus, and benefits costs related to internal-use software development in 2025. These savings were partially offset by the expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 associated with the one-time retention bonuses given to certain key employees following the departure of our former CEO in the first quarter of 2025, which were not incurred in the same period in 2024.
Share-based compensation decreased by $9.2 million, or 25%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to the forfeitures of stock based awards.
Technology expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher licensing and hosting costs to support system and tool implementations amid ongoing business growth.
Professional services expenses decreased by $0.6 million or 12%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower legal and consulting fees.
Occupancy expense decreased by $0.4 million or 30%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease is due to the impairment of the right-of-use asset associated with our Oakland office recorded during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.7 million, or 68%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher amortization of internally developed software as additional projects were capitalized and placed into service.
Marketing and advertising expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Other operating expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Executive chairman long-term performance award decreased by 100% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to the forfeiture in the second quarter of 2024 following the Executive Chairman transitioning to a non-employee director role on the Board of Directors.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating expenses, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating these non-GAAP measures, note that we will likely incur expenses in the future similar to the adjustments in the presentation of our non-GAAP measures set forth under “Key Operating Metric and Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. There are a number of key limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures compared to their most directly comparable GAAP measures including the following:
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating expenses differently or not at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may require future replacement, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or new capital expenditures; and
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the effect of income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
We encourage investors to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
A reconciliation of Net (loss) income to adjusted EBITDA and GAAP operating expenses to Adjusted operating expenses for the periods presented is as follows:

(1) Acquisition-related expenses, which include transaction costs, integration costs and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expense, have been excluded from adjusted EBITDA as such expenses are not reflective of our ongoing core operations and are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business; instead, these are costs specifically associated with a discrete transaction.
(2) Restructuring and other one-time costs include the costs associated with the transition of our CEO and other one-time costs related to retention bonuses provided to other key employees. These bonuses have service requirements and are expensed over the requisite service period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, our primary sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $821.6 million, held primarily for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments were comprised primarily of bank deposits, money market funds, U.S. treasury bills, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and corporate debt securities. We have historically incurred significant operating losses, as reflected in our accumulated deficit, and anticipate continued operating losses for the foreseeable future.
Our transaction with Neptune International Ltd to acquire TransactPay was completed on July 31, 2025 in accordance with the terms in the merger agreement, and we paid €46.0 million in cash. The agreement also includes up to €5.0 million of contingent consideration that could be paid post-closing.
On February 25, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $300 million of our Class A common stock (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods, in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans under the Exchange Act. Repurchase decisions are based on general business and market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program has no set expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 42.3 million shares for $193.1 million under this program. As of June 30, 2025, $106.9 million remained available for future share repurchases.
On May 6, 2024, the our Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program for our Class A common stock (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program"), following the exhaustion of the $200 million 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Repurchases under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program were made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans of the Exchange Act. Repurchase decisions were based on general business and market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 19.2 million shares for $80.5 million, fully utilizing the 2024 Share Repurchase Program authorization.
On February 3, 2023, we acquired all outstanding stock of Power Finance Inc. (“Power Finance”). As part of the terms of the acquisition, we entered into postcombination cash compensation arrangements with certain key acquired employees whereby we agreed to pay them $85.1 million of cash over a weighted average service period of 2.2 years from the acquisition date, subject to forfeiture upon termination. As of June 30, 2025, $3.2 million of the postcombination cash compensation arrangements remained outstanding.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $821.6 million as of June 30, 2025, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we maintain full access to and control over all our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, except amounts held as restricted cash. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, such as continued investment in product development, platform infrastructure, share repurchases, potential strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, and global expansion. We plan to allocate cash to support ongoing business investments, infrastructure enhancements, and non-cancellable purchase commitments with cloud-computing service providers and certain Issuing Banks.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $8.5 million in restricted cash which included a $7.0 million deposit held at an Issuing Bank to serve as collateral to ensure settlement of our customers' transactions with the Card Networks, in the event that customer funds are not deposited in time. Restricted cash also includes $1.5 million cash held at a bank to secure our payments under a lease agreement for our office space, of which $0.9 million is recorded in Other assets in the June 30, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
| (in thousands) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 22,534 | | | $ | 26,134 | |
Net cash provided by investing activities | 75,719 | | | 27,336 | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (288,546) | | | (109,712) | |
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | (190,293) | | | $ | (56,242) | |
Operating Activities
Our primary source of cash from operating activities is net revenue. The primary uses of cash in operating activities include Card Network and Issuing Bank fees and employee-related compensation. The timing of settlements of certain operating assets and liabilities, such as revenue share payments, bonus payments, prepayments to cloud-computing service providers, settlements receivable and network incentives receivable, may impact the amounts reported as net cash provided by or used in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease from $26.1 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the unfavorable timing of settlements for network incentive receivables and accrued expenses and other liabilities, which was partially offset by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities primarily consists of proceeds from maturities of short-term investments, while net cash used in investing activities primarily includes purchases of short-term investments, purchases of property and equipment, and capitalized costs for internal-use software development.
Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $75.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $27.3 million in the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher proceeds from maturities of short-term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by ongoing investments in property, equipment, and internal-use software.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities consists primarily of net payments related to share-based compensation activities and our share repurchase programs.
Net cash used in financing activities increased to $288.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $109.7 million in the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to repurchases of our Class A common stock under the 2024 and 2025 Share Repurchase Programs, partially offset by lower tax withholdings related to net share settlement of share-based compensation awards.
Obligations and Other Commitments
Except for the lease extension disclosed in Note 9 “Leases” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no other material changes to our obligations and other commitments from those reported in our 2024 Annual Report.
For additional information about our contractual obligations and other commitments, see Note 10 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our accounting estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Except for the revised accounting policy for estimating Card Network incentives, as detailed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, no other changes have been made to our accounting policies. Additionally, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 2024 Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations within the United States and globally, and are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is described below.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $821.6 million, comprising cash deposits, money market funds, U.S. treasury bills, U.S. treasury securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposits, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. The fair value of these holdings would not be significantly impacted by interest rate fluctuations due to their short-term maturities. Because we classify our short-term investments as “available-for-sale”, no gains or losses are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are due to credit losses. We have the ability and intent to hold all short-term investments until maturity. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial results or condition.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Most of our sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our results of operations are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently involved in the following matters:
On December 9, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit, captioned Wai v. Marqeta, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-08874 (N.D. Cal.), was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California (“Court”) against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer (“Defendants”) alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit asserts that Defendants made false or misleading statements relating to the Company’s performance or revenue and gross profit expectations in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
On December 10, 2024, a second putative securities class action lawsuit, captioned Ford v. Marqeta, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-08892 (N.D. Cal.), was filed in the same Court against the same Defendants alleging violations of the same federal securities laws. The second lawsuit asserts similar theories of liability as the first lawsuit. Both lawsuits (collectively, the “Securities Actions”) seek to recover damages on behalf of shareholders who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during their respective putative class periods. The Securities Actions have been consolidated into one consolidated securities litigation captioned In re Marqeta, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 24-08874-YGR (N.D. Cal) and the Court has appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel in the matter. On April 10, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges a putative class period of between February 28, 2024 and November 4, 2024. The Company and the other Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on May 15, 2025.
On February 4, 2025, a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Smith v. Khalaf, et al., Case No. 25-cv-01174 (N.D. Cal.), was filed in the same Court against the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and its Board of Directors, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. This lawsuit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties and violations of federal securities laws, among other claims, between the time period of May 7, 2024 and November 4, 2024 under similar theories as the Securities Actions. Two other substantially similar putative shareholder derivative lawsuits, captioned Ojserkis v. Khalaf, et al., Case No. 25-cv-01883 (N.D. Cal.) and Preciado v. Khalaf, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02100 (N.D. Cal.), were filed on February 21, 2025 and February 27, 2025, respectively. All three putative shareholder derivative suits have been consolidated into one lawsuit captioned In re Marqeta, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 4:25-cv-01174-YGR (N.D. Cal). The court has stayed the consolidated derivative action pending the resolution of motions to dismiss in the consolidated Securities Actions.
Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot reasonably estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of any potential loss.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, future prospects, and the trading price of our Class A common stock can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report under the heading "Risk Factors," which are incorporated herein by reference, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, future prospects, and the trading price of our Class A common stock, or cause them to vary materially from past or anticipated future results. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since the 2024 Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Purchase of Equity Securities
The following table summarizes the repurchases of our Class A common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1) On February 25, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $300 million of our Class A common stock (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, we are authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Repurchase decisions are based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including legal requirements. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program has no set expiration date.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
(c) During our last fiscal quarter, on May 16, 2025, Todd Pollak, our Chief Revenue Officer, adopted a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408 providing for the sale from time to time of an aggregate of up to 202,135 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The trading arrangement is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense in Rule 10b5-1(c). The duration of the trading arrangement is until June 30, 2026, or earlier if all transactions under the trading arrangement are completed, but in no case earlier than one year, or later than two years, from May 16, 2025.
Additionally, on June 10, 2025, Crystal Sumner, our Chief Administrative Officer, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement providing for the sale from time to time of an aggregate of up to 91,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The trading arrangement is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense in Rule 10b5-1(c). The duration of the trading arrangement is until June 19, 2026, or earlier if all transactions under the trading arrangement are completed, but in no case earlier than one year, or later than two years, from June 10, 2025.
No other officers, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), or directors adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K, during our last fiscal quarter.
