Global commerce platform and payments leader eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) today
reported that revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015
increased to $4.45 billion. GAAP earnings were $626 million or $0.51 per
diluted share, and Non-GAAP earnings were $943 million or $0.77 per
diluted share, driven by transaction growth and expense control.
eBay Inc.’s commerce and payments ecosystems continued to increase the
role they play in global commerce, but the strengthening dollar
significantly impacted first quarter results and reduced the 9% organic
growth rate to 4%. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by foreign
currency translation at eBay and PayPal by 7 pts and 3 pts respectively,
with benefits from foreign currency hedging partially offsetting the
impact at PayPal. Additionally, weaker local currencies in some markets
led to reduced demand for goods in export-oriented markets like North
America, impacting the growth of cross border trade.
“We had a strong first quarter, with eBay and PayPal off to a good start
for the full year,” said eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe. “I
feel very good about the performance of our teams at eBay and PayPal.
Each business is executing well with greater focus and operating
discipline as we prepare to separate eBay and PayPal into independent
publicly traded companies. We are moving forward with clarity and speed,
with a smooth separation expected in the third quarter. We are deeply
committed to setting up eBay and PayPal to succeed and to deliver
sustainable value to our shareholders.”
PayPal net total payment volume (TPV) grew 18% in the first quarter to
$61 billion, with Merchant Services volume up 26% and on-eBay volume
down 1%. Payment volume through eBay Marketplaces was $15 billion,
representing 24% of total TPV. Revenue grew to $2.1 billion. PayPal
gained 3.6 million new active accounts in the quarter, up 11% to 165
million, and processed more than 1 billion transactions in the quarter,
up 24%. PayPal deepened its customer engagement with transactions per
active account increasing to 23 in the quarter and monetization per
active account increasing to $49. The strong, steady growth of PayPal’s
customer base coupled with rising engagement reflects the growing
popularity and relevance of the PayPal value proposition globally. We
announced two acquisitions to bolster and accelerate PayPal's ability to
partner with merchants and deepen its trusted relationship with
consumers. The acquisition of Paydiant helps PayPal extend its mobile
value proposition to the offline world for merchants and consumers while
its acquisition of CyActive strengthens PayPal's security capabilities
and will act as the foundation of PayPal's new security center of
excellence.
eBay Marketplaces gross merchandise volume (GMV) declined 2%, with the
strengthening dollar significantly impacting results. In the U.S., GMV
was up 2%, while International volume was down 4%, producing $2.1
billion in revenue. On a fx-neutral basis, International GMV was up 7%
and global GMV was up 5%. Marketplaces gained 2.1 million new buyers in
the quarter, up 8% to 157 million. While active buyer growth continued
to decline on a rolling 12-month basis, we are seeing signs that our
business is stabilizing, with both three-month active buyer growth and
FX neutral GMV growth flat at 5% on a sequential basis. Sold item growth
improved sequentially to 9%. We are continuing to invest to improve
buyer and seller experiences and provide consistency across devices
while building platform capability to improve traffic.
eBay Enterprise enabled its clients to grow same store sales 10% and
generated gross merchandise sales (GMS) of more than $1 billion. Revenue
grew to $288 million. We continue to explore strategic options for eBay
Enterprise. It is a strong business and a leading partner for large
retailers, managing mission critical components of their e-commerce
initiatives.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to,
among other things, the planned separation of eBay Inc.'s Marketplaces
and PayPal businesses, the company’s exploration of strategic
alternatives for the Enterprise business, and the future performance of
eBay Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries that are based on the
company's current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve
risks and uncertainties. These statements include, but are not limited
to, statements regarding the completion and timing of any such
separation, the future performance of the Marketplaces and Payments
businesses on a standalone business if the separation is completed,
expected financial results for the second quarter and full year 2015,
the future growth in the Payments, Marketplaces and Enterprise
businesses, mobile payments and mobile commerce. Actual results could
differ materially from those predicted or implied and reported results
should not be considered as an indication of future performance. There
is no assurance as to the timing of the spin-off or whether it will be
completed. Other factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to: whether the operational,
marketing and strategic benefits of the separation can be achieved;
whether the costs and expenses of the separation can be controlled
within expectations; changes in political, business and economic
conditions, any European, Asian or general economic downturn or crisis
and any conditions that affect ecommerce growth; fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates; the company's need to successfully react to the
increasing importance of mobile payments and mobile commerce and the
increasing social aspect of commerce; the company's ability to deal with
the increasingly competitive ecommerce environment, including
competition for its sellers from other trading sites and other means of
selling, and competition for its buyers from other merchants, online and
offline; changes to the company's capital allocation or management of
operating cash; the company's need to manage an increasingly large
enterprise with a broad range of businesses of varying degrees of
maturity and in many different geographies; the effect of management
changes and business initiatives; the company's need and ability to
manage other regulatory, tax and litigation risks as its services are
offered in more jurisdictions and applicable laws become more
restrictive; any changes the company may make to its product offerings;
the competitive, regulatory, payment card association-related and other
risks specific to PayPal and PayPal Credit, especially as PayPal
continues to expand geographically and introduce new products and as new
laws and regulations related to financial services companies come into
effect; the company's ability to timely upgrade and develop its
technology systems, infrastructure and customer service capabilities at
reasonable cost; the company's ability to maintain site stability and
performance on all of its sites while adding new products and features
in a timely fashion; and the company's ability to profitably integrate,
manage and grow businesses that have been acquired or may be acquired in
the future. The forward-looking statements in this release do not
include the potential impact of any acquisitions or divestitures that

During the first quarter of 2014, we changed our reportable segments
based on changes in our organizational structure which reflect the
integration of our Magento platform into our Enterprise segment.
Prior to this change, Magento was reported in corporate and other.
Also during the quarter, we revised our internal management
reporting of certain Marketplaces transactions to align more closely
with our related operating metrics. Related to this change, we
reclassified our Marketplaces vehicles and real estate revenues from
net transaction revenues to marketing services and other revenues.
Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current
period segment reporting structure.

eBay Inc.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of
financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net
income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP effective tax rate, and free cash flow.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative
to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from
non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP
measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or
principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not
reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of
operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should
only be used to evaluate the company's results of operations in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures
included in this press release can be found in the tables included in
this press release.
These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall
understanding of the company's current financial performance and its
prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the
non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and
investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, or net
purchases of property and equipment, as the case may be, that may not be
indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In
addition, because the company has historically reported certain non-GAAP
results to investors, the company believes that the inclusion of
non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company's financial
reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, the
company's management uses financial measures that do not include
stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on stock-based
compensation, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets,
impairment of goodwill, significant gains or losses from the
disposal/acquisition of a business, certain effects of the planned
separation of our eBay and PayPal business, certain gains and losses on
investments, restructuring-related charges and the income taxes
associated with the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP
measures, the company's management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP
measures in reviewing the financial results of the company.
The company excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin and
non-GAAP effective tax rate:
Stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes.
This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock
and employee stock purchases. The company excludes stock-based
compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they
are non-cash expenses that management does not believe are reflective of
ongoing operating results. The related employer payroll taxes is
dependent on the company's stock price and the timing and size of
exercises by employees of their stock options and the vesting of their
restricted stock, over which management has limited to no control, and
as such management does not believe it correlates to the company's
operation of the business.
Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment
of goodwill, significant gains or losses and transaction expenses from
the acquisition or disposal of a business and certain gains or losses on
investments. The company incurs amortization or impairment of
acquired intangible assets and goodwill in connection with acquisitions
and may incur significant gains or losses from the acquisition or
disposal of a business and therefore excludes these amounts from its
non-GAAP measures. The company also excludes certain gains and losses on
investments. The company excludes the impact of the accretion of a note
receivable associated with the disposal of certain businesses. The
company excludes these items because management does not believe they
correlate to the ongoing operating results of the company's business.
Restructuring. These charges consist of expenses for employee
severance and other exit and disposal costs. The company excludes
significant restructuring charges primarily because management does not
believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Other certain significant gains, losses, or charges that are not
indicative of the Company’s core operating results. These are
significant gains, losses, or charges during a period that are the
result of isolated events or transactions which have not occurred
frequently in the past and are not expected to occur regularly or be
repeated in the future. The company excludes these amounts from its
results primarily because management does not believe they are
indicative of its current or ongoing operating results.
Separation. These are significant expenses that are related to
the planned separation of our eBay and PayPal businesses into separate
publicly traded companies. These consist primarily of third-party
consulting fees, legal fees, employee retention payments and other
expenses incurred to complete the separation.
Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. This amount is used to
present stock-based compensation and the other amounts described above
on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net
income.
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, the company also
uses free cash flow. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less
purchases of property and equipment. The company considers free cash
flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to
management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the
business after the purchases of property, buildings, and equipment,
which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the company's
business, make strategic acquisitions, and repurchase stock. A
limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial
performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease
in the company's cash balance for the period.
