MARQETA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The global modern card issuer reported Total Processing Volume growth of 29%
and Gross Profit growth of 31% in the second quarter of 2025.
OAKLAND, Calif. – August 6, 2025 - Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

The Company reported Total Processing Volume (TPV) of $91 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 29%. The Company reported Net Revenue of $150 million and Gross Profit of $104 million, representing increases of 20% and 31%, respectively, year-over-year. The increase in Gross Profit growth was partly driven by a revised accounting policy for estimating and recognizing Card Network Incentives effective Q2'25, which contributed 8.6 percentage points to the Gross Profit growth. GAAP Net Loss for the quarter was $0.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $29 million.
“Our Q2 results demonstrate our ability to deliver strong growth while also making great progress towards our profitability objectives,” said Mike Milotich, Interim CEO and CFO of Marqeta. “We continue to deepen our customer relationships and enable their growth through innovative card programs, seamless geographic expansion and value-added services.”

Marqeta highlighted several recent business updates that demonstrate its current business momentum, including:
•Marqeta enabled the KlarnaOne Card, a new debit card which allows consumers to choose to pay later for any purchase where the card is accepted. This makes Klarna the second provider to offer consumers a card enabled with Visa Flexible Credential (VFC) to seamlessly deliver the option to toggle between payment methods. The card, which builds on years of collaboration with Klarna, is currently in a trial phase with a broader rollout in the U.S. expected later this year.
•Marqeta announced the July 31st close of the TransactPay acquisition, which will strengthen Marqeta’s program management capabilities in Europe. This acquisition will provide BIN sponsorship and card issuance in the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) through electronic money institution (EMI) licenses. With the combined capabilities of Marqeta and TransactPay, customers will be able to take advantage of card program management features in the UK and EU, and avoid the added complexity associated with engaging multiple partners. This acquisition will allow for greater control of the offering and will support the delivery of a comparable solution in Europe to that in the U.S. and Canada.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results:
Total Processing Volume increased by 29% year-over-year, rising to $91 billion from $71 billion in the second quarter of 2024.
Net Revenue of $150 million increased by $25 million, or 20%, year-over-year, primarily driven by increased volumes, partially offset by unfavorable mix due to faster growth of card programs where we provide processing services with minimal or no program management.
Gross Profit increased by 31% year-over-year to $104 million from $79 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was partly driven by a revised accounting policy for estimating and recognizing Card Network incentives, effective Q2'25, which contributed 8.6 percentage points to the Gross Profit growth. The remaining growth in Gross Profit was driven by our TPV growth. Gross Margin was 69% in the second quarter of 2025.
Net Loss of $0.6 million in the quarter, compared to net income of $119.1 million in the same period in the prior year, resulted in a year-over-year decline of $120 million. This year-over-year change was primarily due to a one-time reversal of $158 million in share-based compensation in the second quarter of 2024, stemming from the forfeiture of the Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award. The net loss margin was 0% in the second quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was $29 million in the second quarter of 2025, increasing by $30 million year-over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 20 percentage points versus last year.

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit 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 loss adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; executive chairman long-term performance award; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; acquisition-related expenses which consist of due diligence costs, transaction costs and integration costs related to potential or successful acquisitions, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses; income tax expense; and other income, net, which consists primarily of interest income from our short-term investments and cash deposits, impairment of financial instruments, and realized foreign currency gains and losses. 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 our annual employee bonus plans and performance-based restricted stock units.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Gross Profit, and Net Income (Loss) Margin based on Gross Profit is calculated as Net Income (Loss) divided by Gross Profit. These measures are used by management to evaluate our operating efficiency.
We define Adjusted operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; executive chairman long-term performance award; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; and acquisition-related expenses which consists of due diligence costs, transaction costs and integration costs related to potential or successful acquisitions, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses. We believe that Adjusted operating expenses 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.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit, Net Income (loss) Margin based on Gross Profit, 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.

(1) Acquisition-related expenses, including transaction costs, integration costs, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses, are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. These expenses are specific to a discrete transaction and do not reflect our ongoing core operations or the recurring expenses required to sustain and operate our business.
(2) Restructuring and other one-time costs include the costs related to the CEO transition and one-time retention bonuses provided to other key employees. These bonuses have service requirements and are expensed over the requisite service period.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to the comparable GAAP measure for the third quarter and full year of 2025 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.
