    SAN JOSE, Calif., July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY), a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    www.ebay.com)" alt="eBay (www.ebay.com)">

    "eBay's strong Q2 results mark another step toward achieving sustainable, long-term growth," said Jamie Iannone, Chief Executive Officer at eBay. "The continued momentum in Focus Categories contributed to our increase in GMV, while new AI capabilities are driving innovation across the platform and transforming the experience for eBay customers around the world."

    "Q2 was another strong quarter for eBay as we exceeded expectations across our key financial metrics," said Steve Priest, Chief Financial Officer at eBay. "We achieved positive year-over-year GMV growth, driven by our execution against strategic initiatives, despite an uneven discretionary demand environment in our major markets."

    Second Quarter Financial Highlights

    • Revenue was $2.6 billion, up 1% on an as-reported basis and up 2% on a foreign exchange (FX) neutral basis.
    • Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) was $18.4 billion, up 1% on an as-reported and FX-Neutral basis.
    • GAAP net income from continuing operations was $226 million, or $0.45 per diluted share.
    • Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $602 million, or $1.18 per diluted share.
    • GAAP and Non-GAAP operating margin was 21.3% and 27.9%, respectively.
    • Generated $367 million of operating cash flow and $278 million of free cash flow.
    • We completed the previously announced sale of Adevinta shares in exchange for $2.4 billion in cash and shares of a newly privatized entity, Aurelia, which are valued at $1.9 billion at the closing of the transactions.
    • Returned $1.1 billion to stockholders, including $1.0 billion of share repurchases and $135 million paid in cash dividends.

    Business Highlights

    • eBay closed a series of transactions with Collectors, including the acquisition of Goldin from Collectors, the sale of the eBay vault, and a commercial agreement for more streamlined grading, storage and selling experiences.
    • eBay enabled Venmo as an additional payment method during the quarter. Known for its popularity among Gen Z and Millennials, Venmo gives eBay buyers in the U.S. even more choice and flexibility during the checkout experience.
    • The company expanded its eBay Refurbished program to include refurbished golf clubs, bringing warranties and hassle-free returns to thousands of previously owned clubs from the world's top brands.
    • In June, the company announced a sustainability collaboration with Seagate, a global leader in data storage solutions. Seagate's official storefront on eBay now offers direct sales of factory recertified hard drives, which can eliminate a significant amount of e-waste by extending the lifecycles of these products.
    • The company launched a number of innovative product features to simplify and enhance the buying and selling experience for customers. In the U.S. and U.K., eBay introduced Shop the look, a generative-AI powered discovery feature for fashion buyers. The company also launched its AI-powered background enhancement tool to 100% of iOS and Android users in the U.S., U.K. and Germany, enabling even more sellers to apply a variety of backgrounds to their listing images.
    • The company introduced improved selling and buying experiences for pre-owned apparel in the U.K. For sellers, these changes included a new selling flow that makes it considerably easier to list on eBay, with image guidance, simpler item aspect collection, and a streamlined shipping module. For buyers, we introduced new Generative AI-powered features, like Shop the look and Explore, which offer more inspirational shopping experiences for fashion enthusiasts.
    • eBay and Certilogo launched a new 'click-to-resell' feature, making it easier for sellers to list pre-owned clothing on eBay and verify authenticity through Certilogo's AI-based system. Italian outerwear brand Save The Duck is the first to pilot the new feature.
    • eBay's consignment service expanded in the U.S. to include luxury watches, footwear and fine jewelry. In partnership with Linda's Stuff, this service gives casual sellers the opportunity to leverage experts to list and sell luxury items on their behalf.
    • The company partnered with Condé Nast to spotlight pre-loved apparel at some of fashion's biggest moments like the Met Gala and Vogue World in Paris.
    • eBay became an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team, enabling both brands to reach new audiences through unique storytelling opportunities with their respective fans and customers. As part of the multi-year collaboration, eBay branding is being featured on the race cars of drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri for four races across the 2024 season: the Miami, British, United States and Las Vegas Grands Prix.

    Impact

    • In May, eBay released its 2023 Impact Report showcasing how the company has leveraged its global marketplace to create economic opportunities, promote sustainable commerce, and foster a diverse and inclusive workforce.
    • eBay also published its latest Recommerce Report highlighting the many benefits of shopping pre-loved items.
    • eBay launched "Rocket Man Resale," a partnership with Elton John, who released a personal collection of pre-loved fashion items exclusively on eBay through auctions and fixed-priced listings. The partnership included a pop-up shop in the West Village of New York City. All proceeds benefited the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
    • During the quarter, eBay Foundation granted nearly $7 million to strategic nonprofit partners across the U.S., which are addressing and removing barriers to entrepreneurship for people who identify with historically excluded groups.
    • eBay for Charity contributed more than $47 million globally in Q2, up 22% year-over-year.

    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 income and margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, free cash flow and figures in this press release presented on an "FX-Neutral basis." These non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis.

    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, except for figures in this press release presented on an "FX-Neutral basis," can be found in the tables included in this press release. For figures in this press release reported on an "FX-Neutral basis," the company calculates the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates, excluding hedging activity, applied to current year transactional currency amounts.

    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, amortization of deferred tax assets associated with the realignment of its legal structure and related foreign exchange effects, significant gains or losses from the disposal/acquisition of a business, certain gains and losses on investments including changes in fair value, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of any related foreign exchange derivative instruments, gains or losses associated with a warrant agreement that the company entered into with Adyen, 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 income and 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 are dependent on the company's stock price and the vesting of restricted stock by employees and the timing and size of stock option exercises, 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, certain amortization of deferred tax assets and related foreign exchange effects, 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 non-cash amortization of deferred tax assets associated with the realignment of its legal structure, which is not reduced by the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and related foreign exchange effects. 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.  These amounts include changes in fair value and the related change in foreign currency exchange rates of equity securities with readily determinable fair values, globally.

    Change in fair market value of warrant. These are gains or losses associated with a warrant agreement that the company entered into with Adyen, which are attributable to changes in fair value during the period.

    Income tax effects and adjustments. We use a non-GAAP tax rate for evaluating our operating results. Based on our current long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 16.5%. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate.

    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, repurchase stock and pay dividends. 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 and does not exclude certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements.
