empower entrepreneurs, Shopify is meeting a need that is not only global
and growing, but that is likely to continue growing for the foreseeable

“We’re off to an incredible start this year, as more merchants around

About Shopify
Shopify is the leading multi-channel commerce platform. Merchants use
Shopify to design, set up, and manage their stores across multiple sales
channels, including mobile, web, social media, marketplaces,
brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. The platform also provides
merchants with a powerful back-office and a single view of their
business, from payments to shipping. The Shopify platform was engineered
for reliability and scale, making enterprise-level technology available
to businesses of all sizes. Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, Shopify
currently powers over 800,000 businesses in approximately 175 countries
and is trusted by brands such as Unilever, Kylie Cosmetics, Allbirds,
MVMT, and many more.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared
and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), Shopify uses certain non-GAAP financial
measures to provide additional information in order to assist investors
in understanding our financial and operating performance.
Adjusted operating loss/income, non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted
net loss/income and adjusted net loss/income per share are non-GAAP
financial measures that exclude the effect of share-based compensation
expenses and related payroll taxes.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for financial and
operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons. Shopify believes that these non-GAAP measures provide
useful information about operating results, enhance the overall
understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and
allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by
management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP
financial measures are not recognized measures for financial statement
presentation under U.S. GAAP and do not have standardized meanings, and
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other public
companies. Such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a
supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the
corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the
financial tables below for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.
Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements
regarding Shopify’s financial outlook and future financial performance.
Words such as "expects", "continue", "will", "anticipates" and "intends"
or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on Shopify’s current
projections and expectations about future events and financial trends
that management believes might affect its financial condition, results
of operations, business strategy and financial needs, and on certain
assumptions and analysis made by Shopify in light of the experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments and other factors management believes are appropriate.
These projections, expectations, assumptions and analyses are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors
that could cause actual results, performance, events and achievements to
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements. Although Shopify believes that the assumptions underlying
these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they may prove to be
incorrect, and readers cannot be assured that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements. Actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of
which are beyond Shopify’s control, including but not limited to: (i)
merchant acquisition and retention; (ii) managing our growth; (iii) our
history of losses; (iv) our limited operating history; (v) our ability
to innovate; (vi) a disruption of service or security breach; (vii)
payments processed through Shopify Payments; (viii) our reliance on a
single supplier to provide the technology we offer through Shopify
Payments; (ix) the security of personal information we store relating to
merchants and their customers, and consumers with whom we have a direct
relationship; (x) evolving privacy laws and regulations, cross-border
data transfer restrictions, data localization requirements and other
domestic or foreign regulations; (xi) our potential inability to hire,
retain and motivate qualified personnel; (xii) international sales and
the use of our platform in various countries; and (xiii) other one-time
events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to
time in Shopify’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and the securities commissions or similar securities
regulatory authorities in each of the provinces or territories of
Canada. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release
represent Shopify’s expectations as of the date of this news release, or
as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made, and subsequent
events may cause these expectations to change. Shopify undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required by law.
