**Shopify Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results**

*Fourth-Quarter Revenue Grows 26%, 28% on a Constant Currency Basis*

*GMV Exceeds $60 billion for the fourth quarter and $197 billion for 2022*

Internet, Everywhere - February 15, 2023 - Shopify Inc. (NYSE, TSX: SHOP), a provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce, announced today financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

"Since the very beginning, Shopify's mission has been to level the playing field for our merchants by lowering barriers, simplifying operations, and leveraging our scale to give them the superpowers they need to compete globally. The strength of our Q4 and full year performance in 2022 is a testament to the resilience of our merchants. Despite persistent macroeconomic challenges, they continued to succeed on Shopify, growing sales and using more of our mission-critical tools to run their businesses," said Harley Finkelstein, Shopify President. "Our platform and solutions enable our merchants to stay ahead of the dynamically changing commerce landscape. We know the commerce evolution is not relegated to just ecommerce or retail, it's about commerce being everywhere, for everyone. Shopify launched several new key strategic products in 2022, and we are excited about the potential for them to help our merchants succeed. In 2023, we will continue to bring innovative modern commerce solutions to the millions of Shopify merchants and their buyers."

**2022 Business Highlights**

In 2022, Shopify remained focused on simplifying commerce operations so merchants can focus on what matters most to them - their products and their customers. We continue to build mission critical solutions to power the future of commerce, bringing more merchants of all sizes on to our commerce platform including consumers' favorite brands like Mattel, Supreme, Black and Decker, Glossier, and ButcherBox as well as notable celebrity brands such as SKKN by Kim Kardashian, Feastables by Mr. Beast, and Joopiter by Pharrell Williams.

Below are some highlights from the year across key themes that drive our solutions for merchants – attracting and retaining customers through more and more channels, going global, and going from first sale to full scale.

------

**Enabling First Sale To Full Scale**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rolled out **Shop Promise**, a consumer-facing badge that provides accurate anticipated delivery dates across a merchant's online store, checkout, and on the Shop app. With the release of our Editions last week, we have started to expand Shop Promise beyond just Shopify Fulfillment Network ("SFN") merchants to all eligible U.S. merchants. For merchants using SFN, Shop Promise is now automatically enabled and will appear on merchant storefronts, guaranteeing faster, more reliable delivery and up to 25% higher conversion rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Released **Hydrogen** and **Oxygen** helping merchants fast-track their custom storefront build with the tooling they need to accelerate development using Hydrogen, our React-based headless commerce stack. And with just one click, merchants can deploy their Hydrogen storefronts on Oxygen, our global hosting solution at no additional cost. Within Editions, on February 9th we released Hydrogen 2 - now built on Remix and made Oxygen available to more Shopify plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched **Shopify Tax,** which offers robust tax compliance tools for U.S.-based merchants that sell to customers in the United States, including sales tax liability insights, product category suggestions, and precise calculation technology to collect tax based on specific addresses within 11,000+ United States tax jurisdictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched **Shopify Functions**, which enables larger and enterprise brands to customize out-of-the-box Shopify features to meet their unique needs without ever touching software code.

**Reducing Barriers As Shopify Helps Merchants Go Global** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed the roll out **Shopify Markets** to all merchants and launched early access in the U.S. of **Shopify Markets Pro**, a native end-to-end cross border solution with a merchant of record offering that enables merchants to enter 150+ markets overnight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched **Shopify Payments** in France, Finland, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Portugal, expanding the availability of Shopify Payments to 22 countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched **Shopify POS** in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain, and Singapore, bringing the total number of countries where we offer our POS hardware integrated with Shopify payments to 14 countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched **Shopify Capital** in Australia, expanding the availability of Shopify Capital to four countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Introduced **Shopify Shipping** to merchants in France, Italy, and Spain, expanding the availability of Shopify Shipping to seven countries.

**Helping Our Merchants Attract More Buyers Through More Channels**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Introduced **POS Go**, a powerful hardware that is an all-in-one mobile POS device. Merchants can scan barcodes, accept tap, chip, and swipe payments, and use Shopify POS all from one handheld device. In addition, Shopify launched Tap to Pay on iPhone, which allows merchants to accept contactless credit and debit cards and digital wallets without any hardware.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Introduced **Shopify Collabs,** a sales channel for merchants to find and collaborate with creators to promote products to new audiences. For creators, the app provides accessibility to promote new products and grow their business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Within **social commerce,** Shopify continued to integrate with more channels, launching on the Twitter Shopping Channel and YouTube shopping channel integrated with Shop Pay. Shopify also launched **LinkPop,** a customizable link-in-bio tool that lets Shopify merchants sell products with shoppable links and gives users powerful analytics tools to see which contents and products captivate their followers.

**Other Full Year Business Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Introduced **Shopify Editions,** a bi-annual product showcase that features new launches and improvements across the entire platform. In the first ever release, Shopify debuted over 100 new product features.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Signed partnership agreements with key system integrators, including Accenture, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and in January 2023, with IBM Consulting, to enable greater opportunities for adoption of Shopify with larger brands.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Implemented Flex Comp, a new market-competitive compensation system designed to recruit, reward and retain the best talent in the world that gives employees greater agency and clarity on how they are compensated across base pay and equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Released Planet, an app that Shopify merchants can use to zero out their shipping emissions. Planet calculates the estimated shipping emissions from every order. Merchants then remove these emissions by funding the same carbon removal companies supported by Shopify. Since launch, more than 8,000 Shopify merchants have used Planet to neutralize their shipping emissions on more than 6,000,000 orders, totaling over 5,000 tonnes of carbon removal.

**Subsequent To Fourth-Quarter 2022**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shopify updated its pricing for Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans. The updated pricing went into effect for new merchants on January 24, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shopify announced the opening of our infrastructure to power the biggest retailers in the world with **Commerce Components by Shopify ("CCS")**, the modern, composable stack for enterprise retail. CCS combines access to Shopify's foundational, high-performing components along with flexible APIs to build dynamic customer experiences that integrate seamlessly with a retailer's preferred back office services.

------

**Fourth-Quarter Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Gross Merchandise Volume**<sup>1</sup> ("GMV") increased 13% to $61.0 billion, an increase of $6.9 billion over the fourth quarter of 2021, up 17% on a constant currency basis. **Gross Payments Volume**<sup>2</sup> ("GPV") grew to $34.2 billion, representing 56% of GMV processed in the quarter, versus $27.7 billion, or 51%, for the fourth quarter of 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Total revenue** increased 26% to $1.7 billion compared to the prior year, up 28% on a constant currency basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Merchant Solutions revenue** increased 30% to $1.3 billion compared to the prior year, up 32% on a constant currency basis, driven primarily by the growth of GMV, our increased attach rate – most notably from Shopify Payments and the addition of Deliverr – and lastly greater revenue contribution from partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Subscription Solutions revenue** increased 14% to $400.3 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to more merchants joining the platform as well as higher variable platform fees and apps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Monthly Recurring Revenue**<sup>3</sup> ("MRR") as of December 31, 2022 increased 7% to $109.5 million compared to the prior year. The gains year over year in the number of Shopify Plus merchants on the platform and the thousands of additional retail locations utilizing POS Pro were partially offset by the impact of the free and paid trial experiences that ran throughout the quarter. These trial programs are immaterial to MRR until those merchants convert to one of our non-Plus subscriptions. Shopify Plus contributed $36.6 million, or 33%, of MRR compared with 29% of MRR as of December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Gross profit** dollars grew 15% to $798.5 million, compared to the prior year. Gross margin for the quarter was 46.0% compared to 50.2% in Q4 2021, driven primarily by contributions from lower margin Shopify Payments and Deliverr revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Operating loss** was $188.7 million, or 11% of revenue, versus income of $14.4 million, or 1.0% of revenue, for the comparable period a year ago.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Adjusted operating income**<sup>4</sup> was $61.0 million, or 4% of revenue, compared with adjusted operating income of $130.2 million or 9% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021. The difference primarily reflects increases in compensation driven by the implementation of our new compensation system and increased headcount including Deliverr. Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted operating income excludes a real estate-related impairment charge.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Merchants in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K. received $393.2 million in merchant cash advances and loans from **Shopify Capital** in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 21% versus the $323.7 million funded in the fourth quarter of last year. Shopify Capital has grown to $4.7 billion in cumulative capital funded since its launch in April 2016, approximately $580.1 million of which was outstanding on December 31, 2022.

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, amortization of acquired intangibles, employee severance, expense related to litigation matters, unrealized and realized gains and losses on equity and other investments, a real estate-related impairments charge and tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release for more information.

**Full Year Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **GMV**<sup>1</sup> increased 12% to $197.2 billion, compared to 2021, up 16% on a constant currency basis. GPV<sup>2</sup> grew to $106.1 billion, which accounted for 54% of GMV processed versus $85.8 billion or 49%, for 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Total revenue** increased 21% to $5.6 billion, compared to 2021, up 23% on a constant currency basis. Within this, **Subscription Solutions revenue** grew 11% to $1.5 billion. **Merchant Solutions** revenue grew 26% to $4.1 billion, up 28% on a constant currency basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Gross profit** dollars grew 11% to $2.8 billion in 2022, compared with $2.5 billion for 2021. Gross margin was 49.2% compared to 53.8% in 2021, reflecting a greater mix of lower margin Shopify Payments and Deliverr revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Operating loss** for 2022 was $822.3 million, or 15% of revenue, versus income of $268.6 million, or 6% of revenue, for 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Adjusted operating income**<sup>4</sup> for 2022 was $6.1 million, or 0.1% of revenue, compared to adjusted operating income of $718.0 million, or 16% of revenue in 2021. The difference primarily reflects increases in compensation driven by the implementation of our new compensation system and increased headcount including Deliverr. Additionally, 2022 adjusted operating income excludes one-time charges from severance-related costs connected to the workforce reduction announced in July, two accruals for litigation contingencies, and a real estate-related impairment charge.

**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.

Our 2023 financial outlook includes the pricing changes to our subscription plans; the expected impact of Shopify Fulfillment Network and Deliverr; and increased personnel-related expenses, including the impact from Flex Comp. Additionally, while our financial outlook assumes that the COVID-triggered acceleration of ecommerce continues to return to a more normalized rate of growth in 2023, there is elevated inflation and continued caution around consumer spending due to a variety of macroeconomic factors.

For the first quarter of 2023 we expect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue growth in the high-teen percentages on a year over year basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin to be slightly higher than our fourth quarter of 2022 gross margin;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expense growth in the low-single digit percentages versus our fourth quarter of 2022 operating expenses when excluding one-time charges in the fourth quarter of 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock-based compensation to be in-line with what we saw in the fourth quarter of 2022; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures to be in-line with capital spend in full year of 2022.

**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 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, amortization of acquired intangibles, employee severance relating to the July 2022 reduction in workforce, the provision associated with two litigation-related accruals in the third quarter of 2022, and real estate-related impairment charges. 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.

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 GAAP. See the financial tables below for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.

**Financial Performance Constant Currency Analysis**

The following key performance indicator and non-GAAP financial measure converts our GMV, revenues, gross profit and (loss) income from operations using the comparative period's monthly average exchange rates. This effect of foreign exchange rates on our key performance indicator and 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 key performance indicator and non-GAAP 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. The key performance indicator and non-GAAP financial measures 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 key performance indicators and 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.
