Block (NYSE: XYZ) lifts 2026 targets while slashing workforce by over 40%

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Block, Inc. reported a strong finish to 2025 while announcing a sweeping restructuring. Fourth-quarter gross profit rose 24% year over year to $2.87 billion, and operating income jumped to $485 million. Adjusted Operating Income grew 46% to $588 million, with Adjusted EBITDA at $930 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS up 38% to $0.65.

Cash App gross profit grew 33% to $1.83 billion, supported by 69% growth in consumer lending origination to $18.5 billion and 22% growth in Primary Banking Actives to 9.3 million. Square gross profit increased to $993 million as GPV reached $65.0 billion, with international GPV growing 24%.

For 2026, Block now targets gross profit of $12.20 billion, up 18% year over year, Adjusted Operating Income of $3.20 billion (26% margin), and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.66, all above prior indications. At the same time, the company is implementing a workforce reduction of more than 40%, expecting $450 million to $500 million of restructuring charges, mostly in the first quarter of 2026, as it shifts to leaner, AI-native teams. Block also continued share repurchases, buying 11.9 million Class A shares for $790 million in the quarter, leaving $5.3 billion of authorization and ending 2025 with $9.2 billion of total liquidity.

Positive

• Raised 2026 outlook with strong profitability targets: Block now expects 2026 gross profit of $12.20 billion, up 18% year over year, and Adjusted Operating Income of $3.20 billion for a 26% margin, implying 54% Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth.
• Q4 2025 operating leverage and growth: Gross profit grew 24% year over year to $2.87 billion while operating income reached $485 million and Adjusted EBITDA rose to $930 million, showing improved margins alongside accelerating revenue drivers across Cash App and Square.
• High-growth Cash App ecosystem: Cash App gross profit increased 33% year over year to $1.83 billion, consumer lending origination volume grew 69% to $18.5 billion, and Primary Banking Actives rose 22% to 9.3 million, deepening monetization per active.
• Capital returns with ample liquidity: Block repurchased 11.9 million Class A shares for $790 million in Q4 and ended 2025 with $9.2 billion of total liquidity and $5.3 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

Negative

• Massive workforce reduction and restructuring charges: Block plans to reduce its workforce by more than 40% under a new restructuring plan, expecting $450–$500 million in related charges, primarily in early 2026, which introduces execution and transition risk.
• Rising credit losses tied to lending expansion: Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses increased 108% year over year in Q4 2025, driven largely by growth in Cash App Borrow and other lending products, highlighting greater credit risk as origination scales.
• Earnings volatility from bitcoin exposure: Q4 2025 diluted EPS of $0.19 reflects a $234 million bitcoin remeasurement loss, reversing a $252 million gain in Q4 2024 and adding non-operational volatility to reported net income.
• Non-GAAP cash flow pressure amid lending growth: Non-GAAP cash flow was negative in multiple 2025 quarters as Block deployed $3.0 billion over 12 months into lending, increasing dependence on ongoing credit performance and funding access.

Insights

Equity analyst

Block pairs strong growth and guidance with aggressive cost-cutting.

Block delivered robust Q4 performance, with gross profit up 24% to $2.87 billion and Adjusted Operating Income up 46% to $588 million. Cash App drove much of the strength, as gross profit climbed 33% and consumer lending origination volume rose 69% to $18.5 billion.

Management raised 2026 guidance to $12.20 billion of gross profit (up 18%) and $3.20 billion of Adjusted Operating Income (a 26% margin) while targeting Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.66, 54% growth versus 2025. This suggests confidence in sustaining high-margin growth across Cash App, Square, and lending.

The >40% workforce reduction and expected $450–$500 million in restructuring charges are significant. Management frames this as a shift to smaller AI-native teams to improve product velocity and leverage. Investors will focus on whether execution in 2026 and beyond maintains innovation and revenue momentum while realizing the targeted margin expansion.

Credit & risk specialist

Lending growth is strong but loss and bitcoin volatility remain key risks.

Block is leaning into credit, with transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses up 108% year over year in Q4, largely from Cash App Borrow expansion. Management highlights what it considers attractive unit economics and stable Borrow loss rates despite reaching newer, higher-risk cohorts.

Non-GAAP cash flow turned negative in several 2025 quarters as Block deployed $3.0 billion of capital into lending over 12 months, though trailing operating cash flow was $2.58 billion. Bitcoin remeasurement produced a $234 million loss in Q4 2025 after a large gain the prior year, underscoring earnings volatility from crypto exposure.

From a balance sheet perspective, year-end liquidity of $9.2 billion—including $8.4 billion in cash and securities and undrawn facilities—supports both lending growth and a sizable buyback program, which has $5.3 billion remaining. Future filings will clarify how credit performance and bitcoin marks affect capital allocation and leverage.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 26, 2026, Block, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a Shareholder Letter (the “Letter”) announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In the Letter, the Company also announced that it would be holding a conference call and earnings webcast on February 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Letter is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”).

The Company is making reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the Letter and the conference call. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents is provided in the Letter.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 on this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 26, 2026, the Company announced a workforce reduction restructuring plan (the “Workforce Plan”) designed to better align our organizational structure with our operating model and strategic priorities.

As part of the Workforce Plan, we expect to reduce our current workforce by more than 40%. The Company currently estimates that we will incur charges of approximately $450 million to $500 million in connection with the Workforce Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for notice period and severance payments, employee benefits, and related costs as well as non-cash expenses related to vesting of share-based awards. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring charges will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and that the execution of the Workforce Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and the actual costs incurred may differ materially from those initial estimates.

Q4 2025

Shareholder Letter

investors.block.xyz

To Our Shareholders   Today we shared a difficult decision with our team. We’re reducing Block by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000, which means that over 4,000 people are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. I want to use this letter to explain why I believe this is the right path for our company, and what Block looks like going forward.   2025 was a strong year for us. Gross profit growth more than doubled from the first quarter to the fourth quarter. We surpassed Rule of 40 in the fourth quarter, reignited Cash App network growth, and drove deeper engagement.¹ We scaled our lending products at strong returns, accelerated Square gross payment volume (GPV) growth, and had our strongest new volume added (NVA) year on record.² We shipped our first Proto bitcoin mining units and we increased share repurchases to return more capital to shareholders.   We believe this financial performance is just beginning to reflect the product development velocity improvements we drove this year, and we have conviction in achieving the financial targets we laid out at our recent Investor Day. We believe we can sustain Cash App’s strong gross profit growth and continue accelerating Square’s GPV over the next three years. We have already seen our strategies start to come to life in what we deliver to customers every day. So why are we changing how we operate going forward?   The core thesis is simple. Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company. We’re already seeing it internally. A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better. And intelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week.   I don’t think we’re early to this realization. I think most companies are late. Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.   And this isn’t just about efficiency. Block serves millions of customers. Sellers and consumers who are going to feel the economic effects of this same shift. Small businesses that rely on us to get paid, to manage their money, to access capital. Individuals navigating a financial landscape that’s changing fast. Our job is to help them through it. That’s not a new mission for us, but the urgency behind it is more pronounced, and the speed at which we need to deliver is accelerating.   So here’s how we’re going to operate from here.   Q4’25 Highlights³     Gross Profit $2.87B +24% YoY Growth     Cash App Gross Profit $1.83B +33% YoY Growth     Square Gross Profit $993M +7% YoY Growth     Operating Income $485M 17% Margin⁴     Adjusted Operating Income⁵ $588M 20% Margin     Diluted Net Income Per Share (“EPS”) $0.19     Adjusted Diluted EPS⁶ $0.65    

¹ Rule of 40 is the sum of our gross profit growth and Adjusted Operating Income margin as a percent of gross profit. We may refer to a “Rule of” number other than 40 to refer to the sum of gross profit growth and Adjusted Operating Income margin as a percent of gross profit for the period given.

² Square GPV is defined as the total dollar amount of all card and bank payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds. New Volume Added (NVA) is the total gross payment volume (GPV) processed, or expected to be processed, by new sellers during their first 12 months on Square. While intended to represent incremental volume from new cohorts, it may also include GPV from existing sellers in cases such as new locations or event-based merchant tokens. For the purpose of this letter, figures exclude deactivated merchants.

³ Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this letter to their nearest GAAP equivalents are provided at the end of this letter. Please see these reconciliations for additional detail and a description of certain items that affected operating income (loss) and net income (loss) in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

⁴ Margins are all calculated as a percent of gross profit.

⁵ Adjusted Operating Income is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance and the profitability of our business, fully burdened by share-based compensation. For more information, please refer to the “Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this letter.

⁶ Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure of profitability of our business. Beginning in fiscal 2025, we revised our definition of Adjusted Net Income Per Share to include share-based compensation. For more information, please refer to the “Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this letter.

First, intelligence will be at the core of how the entire company works. How we make decisions, how we build trust and manage risk, how we build products, and how we serve customers. We’re moving toward a model where our customers can build their own features directly on top of our capabilities. That changes the nature of what we are as a company, and it dramatically increases the value we can deliver per customer.   Second, extreme focus. There are four things we’re going to focus on building now as a company: customer capabilities, interfaces where we can compose and deliver those capabilities, proactive intelligence based on our deep customer understanding and real-time data, and an intelligence model to fully orchestrate the company’s operations. This allows us to best serve the master plan we laid out at investor day.   Third, speed. A company of our new size has no excuse for being slow. We will decide faster, ship faster, and learn faster. The structure we’re building is designed for that.   We believe Block will be significantly more valuable as a smaller, faster, intelligence-native company. Everything we do from here is in service of that.     2025 Highlights     Gross Profit $10.36B +17% YoY Growth     Cash App Gross Profit $6.34B +21% YoY Growth     Square Gross Profit $3.94B +9% YoY Growth     Operating Income $1.71B 16% Margin     Adjusted Operating Income $2.08B 20% Margin     Diluted EPS $2.10     Adjusted Diluted EPS $2.37

Business Highlights

We accelerated the pace of innovation across Block.

In the fourth quarter, we shared major product updates across both Square and Cash App, highlighting how we’re helping sellers grow their businesses more efficiently and helping our customers better manage their finances. At Square Releases, we introduced new products and features for sellers to help manage orders through AI Voice Ordering, reduce costs through simplified vendor cost comparison, and reach new customers by enabling sellers to accept sales in bitcoin just like they would accept a card or tap to pay transaction. We also held our first Cash App Releases, where we launched Cash App Green, our expanded status program, introduced Moneybot, and showcased over 150 upgrades from the past year. We continued to deliver our shipments of Proto mining rigs and made meaningful progress on the development of our next-generation chip architecture.

We are increasingly delivering proactive intelligence as the primary interface of Square and Cash App.

We embedded Square AI directly in the Square Dashboard in the fourth quarter, giving sellers instant access to real-time insights on menus, staffing, and customer behavior, with clear recommendations they can act on in seconds. Ryan Hester, owner of Comfortably Chic, has used Square AI to surface customer insights and turn them into action, identifying when loyal customers shop during the week and using that data to launch cross-location marketing campaigns to help increase sales across his six stores.

In Cash App, Moneybot acts as a proactive intelligence tool that surfaces guidance before a customer even asks. In the fourth quarter, more than 70% of actives who used Moneybot in testing selected a proactive prompt about their finances to get started, and Cash App Green actives were 3x more likely to use Moneybot, showing its potential to add more and more value as users engage with Cash App more often.

We deepened engagement in Cash App, adding 1 million Primary Banking Actives (PBAs) in December, and accelerated year-over-year growth to 22%.⁷

Primary banking actives grew to 9.3 million in December, up from 8.3 million in September.⁸ These customers generate nearly 10x the gross profit per active compared to peer-to-peer only actives.⁹ We believe PBAs can drive inflows per active growth long term. As engagement deepens, we have seen customers use more of Cash App’s financial tools, with improved retention among recent cohorts and increased adoption of products like Cash App Card. In the fourth quarter, Cash App Card GPV year-over-year growth accelerated to its fastest pace since the third quarter of 2024.  

Cash App Green is core to our focus on driving long-term engagement through deeper customer relationships. We built Cash App Green for the modern earner, a growing segment of the workforce that earns income from multiple dynamic sources including hourly wages, gig work, and freelancing.

⁷ Square and Cash App are financial services platforms, not banks. Throughout this letter, any reference to Square or Cash App’s banking offerings or terms such as “primary banking actives” refer to products and services that are offered through Block’s Industrial Bank, Square Financial Services, Inc., or through our third-party bank partners. A Primary Banking Active (PBA) is a Cash App account that receives inflows from ACH or certain original credit transactions relating to earned wages, excluding tax refunds and ACH transfers, or spent at least $500 per month across Cash App, including Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, Afterpay through Cash App, and ACH bill pay during a specified period.

⁸A transacting active is a Cash App account that has at least one financial transaction using any product or service within Cash App during a specified period. A transacting active for a specific Cash App product has at least one financial transaction using that product during the specified period and is referred to as an active. Examples of transactions include sending or receiving a peer-to-peer payment, transferring money into or out of Cash App, making a purchase using Cash App Card, earning a dividend on a stock investment, and paying back a loan, among others. Certain of these accounts may share an alias identifier with one or more other transacting active accounts. This could represent, among other things, one customer with multiple accounts or multiple customers sharing one alias identifier (for example, families).

⁹ Represents gross profit generated by PBAs plus any gross profit derived from other Cash App products used by those customers compared to customers that only use P2P and instant deposit features.

We expect modern earners to be the fastest-growing portion of the U.S. workforce, and we see an addressable market for Cash App Green of approximately 125 million people across independent earners, hourly workers, and working teens.¹⁰ We believe Cash App is a leader in this segment and that we offer the best tools for these customers to manage their financial lives.

We grew consumer lending origination volume 69% year over year in the fourth quarter while sustaining strong margins.¹¹

Within consumer lending, Cash App Borrow origination volume grew 223% year over year in the fourth quarter as we continued to expand access and sustained healthy margins. Borrow is an important element of how modern earners address variability in income, and customers have cited maintaining flexibility until their next paycheck as a primary reason for taking out a Borrow loan. Our other lending solutions continued to resonate as well: Afterpay Post-Purchase continued its strong growth and, through December, is exceeding the early growth trajectory of Borrow.

Cash App Score, which we announced at Investor Day, is the proprietary foundation of our consumer lending underwriting infrastructure. It integrates millions of historical repayment outcomes with near real-time data across inflows, spending patterns, and engagement across our ecosystem. This foundation helps us serve a wide variety of use cases for our customers and lend across the socioeconomic spectrum. We estimate approximately 60% of Afterpay users have an annual household income above $70K and customer surveys indicate 20% of Borrow customers use Borrow to build or strengthen credit availability within Cash App.

We capped the year with the strongest NVA we’ve ever delivered and the strongest growth rate since the first quarter of 2021, with Square NVA growth accelerating in the fourth quarter to 29%.

In the fourth quarter, self-onboard NVA grew at the strongest rate since the second quarter of 2021 and continues to be a differentiated go-to-market motion for Square. Marketing-led self-onboarding has been strengthened by investments in AI-led search and discovery capabilities while retail-led self-onboarding experienced its strongest growth in over a year.

We grew sales-led NVA 62% in the fourth quarter, exceeding our 40% growth target. We continue to be focused on marginal return on investment (ROI) as we scale our field sales teams, and our investments have been successful. Recent wins in the U.S. include 7 Leaves, a 45-location specialty coffee and tea house who chose Square because our technology suite enables them to maintain their commitment to quality and service across their traditional cafes and 22 drive-through locations. Our field sales team also closed one of LA’s most celebrated restaurants Anajak Thai, a James Beard Award winner, due to Square Handheld, our seller-first support team, our growing restaurant software suite, and strong integrations with partners like OpenTable. We also closed our first field sales wins in Australia and the U.K. in the fourth quarter and have begun to accelerate our partner-led distribution motion. We now partner with 70 Independent Sales Organizations that we expect will enable Square to reach incremental sellers and complement our direct sales motion.

Food and Beverage was our strongest vertical in the fourth quarter. Food and Beverage GPV grew 16% year over year, with strong NVA growth and churn at one of the lowest levels observed since 2019. These results reflect the significant investments we made throughout 2025 across product and go-to-market efforts, with a deliberate focus on sellers in this vertical. We believe that what worked in Food and Beverage is repeatable, and we plan to take our go-to-market approach and product strategy deeper into other verticals in 2026 and beyond.

¹⁰ Estimates of total addressable market include 49M independent earners (excluding business owners only), 77M hourly workers (full-time, part-time, and independent earners who self-identified as being paid an hourly wage), and 22M teens (ages 13–17). Independent earner and hourly worker estimates are calculated by applying weighted survey incidence rates from the Earners Sizing Study (Cash App-commissioned survey, Q3 2024) to an estimated base of approximately 180 million U.S. online adults ages 18–64 with personal income. Independent earners and hourly workers overlap, and net totals reflect adjusted unique individuals on the basis of survey data. Teens estimates are derived from the American Community Survey (U.S. Census, 2023).

¹¹ Consumer Lending origination volume includes origination from Cash App Borrow and BNPL products.

Financial Discussion

We exceeded Rule of 40 this quarter, with 24% year-over-year gross profit growth and 20% Adjusted Operating Income margin. In the fourth quarter, we also grew Adjusted Operating Income by 46% year over year and Adjusted Diluted EPS by 38% year over year as we continued to invest in our strategic priorities to help drive sustainable growth for the long term. Our fourth-quarter performance demonstrated our ability to increase product velocity, accelerate gross profit growth, and expand operating margins through disciplined cost management. Square delivered its strongest NVA growth performance since the first quarter of 2021, while Cash App monthly actives grew to 59 million. We added one million PBAs in Cash App and grew Commerce Enablement volume and Consumer Lending origination volume 17% and 69% year over year, respectively.¹² We are raising our full-year guidance to reflect the strength we are seeing across our business. We are now expecting gross profit growth of 18% year over year for 2026 and Adjusted Operating Income of $3.20 billion or 26% margin.

As introduced at Investor Day, our revenue and related costs of revenue are now classified across three categories: Commerce Enablement, Financial Solutions, and Bitcoin Ecosystem. Commerce Enablement has been the largest contributor to gross profit, and year-over-year growth accelerated to 11%, led by strength in Cash App. Financial Solutions gross profit growth also accelerated to 51% year over year in the fourth quarter, driven by Cash App Consumer Lending. Bitcoin Ecosystem gross profit grew 10% year over year in the fourth quarter, driven by Proto shipments. Overall Block gross profit growth accelerated to 24% year over year in the fourth quarter, with 33% year-over-year growth in Cash App and 7% year-over-year growth in Square.

¹³ Quarterly gross profit by category may not sum to total gross profit due to rounding.

¹⁴ Commerce Enablement gross profit reflects the impact of amortization of acquired technology assets.

Cash App gross profit increased 33% year over year, driven by growth across Cash App Borrow, BNPL products, and Cash App Card. Cash App Monthly Transacting Actives grew to 59 million as we continued to focus on driving network virality through go-to-market investments and P2P product enhancements. Commerce Enablement volume grew 17% year over year to $54.7 billion, driven by strength in Cash App Card. Commerce monetization rate increased by 4 basis points year over year, driven by increased Afterpay Post-Purchase product attach rate. Financial Solutions Gross Profit per Active grew 57% year over year, driven by strength in Cash App Borrow, while Primary Banking Actives grew 22% year over year as we executed on our engagement strategies. Inflows per transacting active growth accelerated to 12% year over year in the fourth quarter, driven in part by more customers bringing their paychecks into Cash App.

¹⁶ Cash App Commerce Enablement Monetization Rate is calculated by dividing Cash App Commerce Enablement gross profit by Cash App Commerce Enablement volume.

¹⁷ Historically, our Cash App ecosystem has experienced improvements in revenue, gross profit, and inflows related to the distribution of government funds as customers have deposited more funds into Cash App during these times, including during the first quarter when U.S. tax refunds are typically distributed.

¹⁸ Inflows per transacting active refers to total inflows in the quarter divided by monthly actives for the last month of the quarter. Inflows refers to funds entering the Cash App ecosystem. Inflows does not include the movement of funds when funds remain in the Cash App ecosystem or when funds leave the Cash App ecosystem, or inflows related to the Afterpay app.

¹⁹ Financial Solutions Gross Profit per Monthly Active is calculated based on Cash App Financial Solutions gross profit in a given quarter divided by overall monthly transacting actives for the last month of the quarter. Cash App Financial Solutions gross profit includes gross profit from ATM, Borrow, Brokerage, Cash App Business, Instant Deposit, Instant Pay, Interest Income, Paper Money Deposits, and Pools.

Cash App Consumer Lending origination volume grew 69% year over year to $18.5 billion. We continued to observe what we believe are industry-leading returns on capital as we scaled Consumer Lending to new customer cohorts, including scaling Borrow to newly eligible Cash App Green customers. Even with the meaningful growth in new customer cohorts, which have higher initial risk loss profiles, Borrow loss rates remained in line with historical levels as we continued to scale at attractive unit economics.

Square GPV grew 10% year over year in the fourth quarter to $65.0 billion. GPV from food and beverage sellers was up 16% year over year, while GPV from retail sellers and services sellers grew 9% and 5% year over year, respectively, in the fourth quarter. Our mid-market seller segment (>$500K in annualized GPV) was our fastest-growing segment in the fourth quarter. Through February 24, quarter-to-date GPV growth has accelerated to over 12% as prior-year NVA growth is beginning to contribute more meaningfully to GPV growth.

Square gross profit grew 7.5% year over year in the fourth quarter, driven primarily by Financial Solutions, most notably Square Loans. Excluding hardware, which includes one-time customer acquisition costs, Square gross profit grew 9% year over year. We continue to expect Square gross profit to grow in line with GPV growth in the second half of the year after we fully lap the impacts of the operational processing change we made last year and the network remediation payment we received in the second quarter of 2025. In October, we introduced three simplified software and processing price options designed to increase software attach rates for sellers, and early results are encouraging, with software attach rates nearly doubling among new sellers adopting these options as of December.

²⁰ Square Commerce Enablement (excluding Hardware) Monetization Rate is calculated by dividing Square Commerce Enablement gross profit excluding hardware by total Square GPV. Square Commerce Enablement Gross Profit is primarily composed of Square Payments and Software.

²¹ Square Financial Solutions Monetization Rate is calculated by dividing Square Financial Solutions gross profit by total Square GPV. Square Financial Solutions Gross Profit is primarily composed of Square Loans, Instant Deposit, and Square Card.

In the fourth quarter, product development expenses decreased 8% year over year on a GAAP basis as we reduced our software and cloud costs. Sales and marketing expenses grew 19% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven by an increase in go-to-market investments to support the growth of our business. Within sales and marketing expenses, Cash App and Square sales and marketing expenses were up 28% and 6% year over year, respectively. General and administrative expenses were down 30% year over year on a GAAP basis, and up 2% year over year on a non-GAAP basis as we focused on cost discipline. Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses increased 108% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven primarily by growth in loan volumes, particularly from Cash App Borrow, which grew origination volume 223% year over year.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we continued to prudently invest in our lending products, including growing Cash App Borrow given the strong unit economics and returns we have seen. Within our non-GAAP cash flow, we have deployed $3.0 billion in capital to grow our lending products over the last 12 months. We also remain focused on returning capital to shareholders. In November 2025, our board of directors authorized an increase to our share repurchase program of up to an additional $5 billion of our Class A common stock, and in the fourth quarter we repurchased 11.9 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $790 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had $5.3 billion in remaining authorization for repurchases.

We ended the quarter with $9.2 billion of total liquidity, with $8.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable debt securities, as well as $775 million available to be withdrawn from our revolving credit facility and $324 million available to be withdrawn under our warehouse funding facilities.

2026 Outlook²⁴

				2026
		Gross Profit		$12.20B
		YoY Growth		18%
		Adjusted Operating Income		$3.20B
		% Margin		26%
		Rule of X		44%
		Adjusted Diluted EPS		$3.66
		YoY Growth		54%

We’re executing well on our growth strategies across the business. At Investor Day we shared our preliminary view of gross profit for 2026, which called for 17% year-over-year gross profit growth. We now expect to deliver gross profit growth of 18% year over year in 2026, to $12.20 billion. We are focused on sustaining momentum and we plan to continue to invest in significant long term growth initiatives across our agentic AI infrastructure, proactive intelligence products, high ROI go to market expansion, Neighborhoods, and high return on capital lending products.

For the first quarter we expect gross profit growth of 22% year over year to $2.80 billion. Across the first quarter and full year, we continue to take a prudent approach to our gross profit outlook.

As Jack shared in his letter, we are making a significant change to our organizational structure today, reducing our workforce by over 40%. We are choosing to shift how we operate at a time when our business is accelerating and we see an opportunity to move faster with smaller, highly talented teams using AI to automate more work.

These decisions are always difficult and we don’t take them lightly, but rather than acting tentatively over the coming months and years, we’re acting decisively now to position Block for our next phase of long term growth.

Our number one priority is product velocity. We are in a moment where AI is transforming how software products are built and changing the way we deliver value to our customers. As early builders of agentic AI tools, we’re choosing to evolve how our company operates to focus on leaner, AI-native teams that we believe are better aligned to take advantage of this shift. We believe this decision will strengthen innovation within the company and further improve our operating leverage over time.

Sustaining strong gross profit growth remains the clearest path to delivering long term value for our shareholders. We expect to invest meaningfully across numerous growth initiatives while expanding profitability. For 2026, we expect to deliver Adjusted Operating Income growth of 54% year over year to $3.20 billion. We expect to deliver Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 54% year over year in 2026 to $3.66.

²⁴ We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, including Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS, or GAAP reconciliations of any of the aforementioned, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as contingencies, restructuring, and other charges. Accordingly, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliations, as the reconciliations of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents are not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations of other historical GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this letter, as well as relevant non-GAAP definitions.

14

In the first quarter we expect to deliver year over year Adjusted Operating Income growth of 29%, to $600 million, or 21% margins. We also expect to deliver year over year Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 20%, to $0.67. We expect the organizational changes we announced today to begin to more meaningfully impact Adjusted Operating Income in the second quarter, with the full impact of our new cost structure improving profitability in the second half of the year.

Key Operating Metrics And Non-GAAP

Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), from period to period, we consider and present certain operating and financial measures that we consider key metrics or are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume (GPV), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS), Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted Diluted EPS), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Cash Flow, constant currency, and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of other payments solution providers. GPV includes Square GPV and Cash App Business GPV. Square GPV is defined as the total dollar amount of all card and bank payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds. Cash App Business GPV comprises Cash App activity related to peer-to-peer transactions received by business accounts and peer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card. GPV does not include transactions from our BNPL products.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS), and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted Diluted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of restructuring share-based compensation expense, contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; goodwill and intangible asset impairment; amortization of intangible assets; amortization of debt discount and issuance costs; gain or loss on revaluation of equity investments; remeasurement gain or loss on revaluation of bitcoin investment; the gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment; acquired deferred revenue and cost adjustments; the discrete benefits from the release of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets; and the tax effect of non-GAAP net income adjustments, as applicable. Additionally, for purposes of calculating Adjusted Diluted EPS, we add back cash interest expense on convertible senior notes, as if converted at the beginning of the period, if the impact is dilutive. To calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS, we adjust the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. In periods when we recorded an Adjusted Net Loss, the diluted Adjusted EPS is the same as basic Adjusted EPS because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Adjusted Net Loss position.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss), adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense; restructuring share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization; contingencies,

17

restructuring, and other charges; interest income and expense; remeasurement gain or loss on bitcoin investment; other income and expense; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment; and acquired deferred revenue and cost adjustment, as applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by gross profit.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our operating income (loss), adjusted to eliminate the effect of amortization of acquired technology assets; contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; restructuring share-based compensation expenses; goodwill and intangible asset impairment and amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) divided by gross profit.

We also exclude from these measures certain acquisition-related and integration costs associated with business combinations, and various other costs that are not reflective of our core operating performance. We exclude amortization of intangible assets arising from business combinations from Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) Margin because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our ongoing business operations. Acquisition-related costs include amounts paid to redeem acquirees’ unvested stock-based compensation awards; charges associated with holdback liabilities; and legal, accounting, and due diligence costs. Integration costs include advisory and other professional services or consulting fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses. Other costs that are not reflective of our core business operating expenses may include contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; impairment charges; restructuring share-based compensation expense; and certain litigation and regulatory charges. For Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Diluted EPS we also add back the impact of the acquired deferred revenue and deferred cost adjustment, which was written down to fair value in purchase accounting, and adjust for the tax effect of the non-GAAP net income adjustments.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in settlements receivable; changes in customers payable; changes in settlements payable; the purchase of property and equipment; payments for originations of consumer receivables; proceeds from principal repayments and sales of consumer receivables; purchases and originations of loans originally classified as held for investment; proceeds from repayments of loans originally classified as held for investment; proceeds from warehouse facilities borrowings; repayments of warehouse facilities borrowings; and sales, and principal payments, and forgiveness of PPP loans. We present Non-GAAP Cash Flow because we use it to understand the cash generated by our business and make strategic decisions related to our balance sheet, and because we are focused on growing our Non-GAAP Cash Flow generation over time. It is not intended to represent amounts available for discretionary purposes. Constant currency growth is calculated by assuming international results in a given period and the comparative prior period are translated from local currencies to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with the monthly average rates in the comparative prior period. We discuss growth on a constant currency basis because a portion of our business operates in markets outside the U.S. and is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates. Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents operating expenses adjusted to remove the impact of restructuring share-based compensation; amortization of customer and other acquired intangible assets; acquisition-related and integration costs; contingencies, restructuring, and other charges; and goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin,

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses provide useful information to

investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges that do not vary with our operations. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses, as well as other measures defined in the shareholder letter, have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the aforementioned metrics and measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain variable amounts, or they remove amounts that were not repeated across periods and therefore make comparisons more difficult. Our management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
