Internet, Everywhere--(Newsfile Corp. - August 2, 2023) - Shopify Inc. (NYSE, TSX: SHOP), a provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
"Our business momentum has led to another quarter of strong financial results. We're not just shipping products faster, but we are also expanding our global merchant base, all while improving our ability to generate greater free cash flow," said Harley Finkelstein, President of Shopify. "As we lean into the new shape of Shopify, our focus remains on building the world's best product to empower entrepreneurs and businesses everywhere."
Recent Business Highlights

- Shopify Marketplace Connect app is a centralized hub for merchants to sell on all major marketplaces, including Amazon, eBay, and Walmart, while connecting, managing, and fulfilling their orders through Shopify.

- Shopify Credit is a pay-in full business credit card exclusively for Shopify merchants, rewarding them by offering amplified cash back on the categories where they spend the most.

Second-Quarter Financial Highlights
- Gross Merchandise Volume1 ("GMV") increased 17% to $55.0 billion, an increase of $8.2 billion over the second quarter of 2022, up 18% on a constant currency basis.
- Total revenue increased 31% to $1.7 billion compared to the prior year, up 31% on a constant currency basis.
- Merchant Solutions revenue increased 35% to $1.3 billion compared to the prior year driven primarily by the growth of GMV and continued penetration of Shopify Payments.
- Gross Payments Volume2 ("GPV") grew to $31.7 billion, representing 58% of GMV processed in the quarter, versus $24.9 billion, or 53%, for the second quarter of 2022.
- Subscription Solutions revenue increased 21% to $444 million compared to the prior year primarily due to more merchants joining the platform and the pricing changes that went into effect for existing merchants in April.
- Monthly Recurring Revenue3 ("MRR") as of June 30, 2023 increased 30% to $139 million compared to the prior year. MRR gains were driven primarily by the pricing changes that went into effect for our existing merchants in late April and continued growth in the number of Standard and Plus merchants. Shopify Plus contributed $41 million, or 29%, of MRR compared with 31% of MRR as of June 30, 2022.
- Gross profit grew 27% to $835 million, compared to the prior year. Gross margin for the quarter was 49.3% compared to 50.7% in the second quarter of 2022, driven by a higher mix of revenue from our lower margin Merchant Solutions segment, primarily from the lower margin revenue contributions from Deliverr.
- Operating loss was $1.6 billion which includes $1.7 billion in one-time items from the impairment and acceleration of stock-based compensation related to the sales of our logistics businesses, as well as severance. Excluding these one-time charges, operating income was positive for the quarter.
- Adjusted operating income4 was $146 million, or 9% of revenue, compared with adjusted operating loss of $42 million or 3% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022. The difference primarily reflects higher revenue compared to the same period last year as well as lower adjusted operating expenses.
- Capital expenditures5 were $21 million compared to $12 million in the second quarter of 2022.
- Free Cash Flow6 was $97 million or 6% of revenues, compared with negative free cash flow of $87 million or 7% of revenues in the second quarter of last year.
- Cash and marketable securities were $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, and we had a net cash position of $3.9 billion after consideration of the outstanding convertible notes. Shopify Capital had $719 million in loans receivables and merchant cash advances outstanding on June 30, 2023.
1. Gross Merchandise Volume, or GMV, represents the total dollar value of orders facilitated through the Shopify platform including certain apps and channels for which a revenue-sharing arrangement is in place in the period, net of refunds, and inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes.
2. Gross Payments Volume, or GPV, is the amount of GMV processed through Shopify Payments.
3. Monthly Recurring Revenue, or MRR, is calculated by multiplying the number of merchants by the average monthly subscription plan fee in effect on the last day of that period and is used by management as a directional indicator of subscription solutions revenue going forward assuming merchants maintain their subscription plan the following month.
4. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, severance related costs, impairment on sales of Shopify's logistics businesses, unrealized and realized gains and losses on equity and other investments, and tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release for more information.
5. Capital expenditures is equivalent to the amount included in Acquisition of property and equipment on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the reported period.
6. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release for more information.
2023 Outlook
The outlook that follows supersedes all prior financial outlook statements made by Shopify, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Shopify's control. Please see "Forward-looking Statements" below for more information. Note that year-over-year comparability in our financial outlook will be impacted by the sale of our logistics businesses, which we expect will create a revenue growth headwind of approximately 300 to 400 basis points and a gross margin tailwind of approximately 300 to 400 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2022.
For the third quarter of 2023, we expect:
- Revenue to grow at a low-twenties percentage rate on a year-over-year basis, which translates into a year-over-year growth rate in the mid-twenties, when adjusting for the 300 to 400 basis points headwind from the sale of our logistics businesses;
- Gross margin percentage to be approximately two to three percentage points higher than the second quarter 2023 gross margin of 49.3%;
- Operating expense dollars to be flat to up slightly compared to the second quarter of 2023 operating expense dollars, when excluding one-time items from the impairment and accelerated stock-based compensation related to the sale of our logistics businesses and severance from the second quarter;
- Stock-based compensation to be approximately $110 million;
- Capital expenditures of approximately $45 million for the full year, inclusive of $33 million in the first half of the year related to logistics, and
- Free cash flow profitability for the third quarter of 2023 to be greater than the entire first half of 2023.

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 gross profit, adjusted sales and marketing, adjusted research and development, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted impairment on sales of Shopify's logistics businesses, adjusted operating income/loss, adjusted net income/loss and adjusted net income/loss per share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, severance related costs, and impairment on sales of Shopify's logistics businesses. Adjusted net income/loss and adjusted net income/loss per share also exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses on equity and other investments and tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments. In addition, our non-GAAP free cash flow measure is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
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 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.

Financial Performance Constant Currency Analysis
The following table converts our GMV, revenues, gross profit and (loss) income from operations using the comparative period's monthly average exchange rates. The table below setting out the effect of foreign exchange rates on GMV and our consolidated statements of operations disclosure is a supplement to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have provided the below disclosure as we believe it presents a clear comparison of our period to period operating results by removing the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and to assist investors in understanding our financial and operating performance. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income/loss are not recognized measures for financial statement presentation under U.S. GAAP, 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 U.S. GAAP.
