The global modern card issuer generated net revenue of $187 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 53 percent year-over-year, with 53 percent growth in second quarter total processing volume and a 66 percent increase in gross profit.
OAKLAND, Calif. – August 10, 2022 - Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Total processing volume (TPV) was $40 billion for the quarter, with net revenue of $187 million. Both figures represent an increase of 53% from the same quarter of 2021. Gross profit was $78 million during the quarter, an increase of 66% year over year, resulting in a gross margin of 42%. GAAP net loss was $45 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss was $10 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
“Marqeta’s platform continues to enable customers across many different verticals to build products on the cutting edge of payments, and serve as an accelerator for their growth. Our second quarter results are testament to that breadth and depth, as we again launched new products and bought on major new customers globally,” said Jason Gardner, Founder and CEO of Marqeta.
Recent Business Updates:
Marqeta highlighted several recent business updates that demonstrate its current business momentum:
•Marqeta announced a partnership with Western Union in Europe. The company integrated Marqeta into its next generation real-time, multi-currency digital wallet and digital banking platform, which allows Western Union’s full remittance service to be offered online, with funds disbursed to a physical or virtual debit card.
•Marqeta announced a significant expansion to its credit platform with over 40 new credit APIs that will enable our customers to design, test, and launch differentiated credit card experiences. These enhancements will provide its customers with greater flexibility and control than legacy credit solutions, with customers also having the option to leverage First National Bank of Omaha’s leading program management and banking capabilities.
•Marqeta was named as the payment processor of choice by Mastercard Prepaid Management Services for Opal Plus, a new transit program in Australia launched by Transport for NSW. This will allow subscribers to plan, book, and pay for a tailored commuter experience directly from their mobile device, and shows the adaptability of the Marqeta platform to service an ever-broadening array of use cases.

Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures
(in thousands)
(unaudited)
Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Marqeta considers Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted operating expenses as supplemental measures of the company’s performance that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; legal, financial, and tax due diligence costs related to potential acquisitions; income tax expense (benefit); and other expense (income) net, which consists of changes in the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities (for periods prior to the IPO), realized foreign currency gains and losses, interest income from our marketable securities, our share of equity method investments’ profit or loss, and impairment of equity method investments or other financial instruments. 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 certain annual employee bonus plans.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.
We define Adjusted operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; and legal, financial, and tax due diligence costs related to potential acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted operating expenses should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net loss, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than Marqeta does, which limits its usefulness in comparing Marqeta’s financial results with those of other companies.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure for the third quarter of 2022 is not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items as such items cannot be reasonably predicted and could be significant. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
