Good day, everyone and thanks for joining us on our call today. I wanted to start off just by talking a little bit about some of the highlights from the quarter and pass it off to Amrita for some of her comments.

So one quarter into 2019, what’s been top of mind for me and us has been around our ecosystem that we’re building. This is our strongest competitive differentiator. This not only benefits our customers, both sellers and increasingly, individuals, with the Cash App, but also benefits our internal teams. For our internal teams, it allows us to move a whole lot faster. Some examples of this is because we had and built the e-commerce API, we’re able to very quickly build virtual terminal and get it to scale and because we’ve built the Cash Card that enabled us to build the Square Card to offer a similar offering for sellers.

This quarter, we relaunched Square for Retail with an applet model. This allows us to add features like invoices that were originally developed for Square Point of Sale directly to Square for Retail. So, generally, we’re going to continue to invest into this ecosystem. We do think it sets us apart from all of our peers and competitors in the industry, allows us to move faster and faster every single day.

We’ve been improving our tools for sellers to combine online and in-person sales. We’ve been talking about omni-channel for quite some time. This quarter, we launched the new Square Online Store and we made it, so that it has automatic syncing of both online and in-person data. So, all of a seller’s items, orders, inventory and prices are synced automatically, which is another results of our ecosystem and using our internal tools to have much more impact and to move faster.

We’ve also been increasing our product velocity in our markets outside the United States. So, Square Online Store launched in Australia, Canada, the UK and the United States. Square Invoices launched in all of our markets at once. We want to see more of our products do this. And Japan has been a very interesting story. I was in the country a few months ago and we’re starting to see a lot more tailwinds within the market, rather than headwinds.

There’s a few things fueling this. One, the government is working to double card payments and they are pushing and incentivizing both consumers and also sellers to use more digital means of payments, instead of paper cash. Two, we have — we launched a Square Stand and our Square contactless and chip card reader in Japan. This is a huge upgrade from the reader that we had in the market in the past. It allows our sellers to automatically pair wirelessly or through a wire. It allows them to hold their iPad and hook it up to the new Square Reader. And just is an overall better experience than we are providing in the market in the past. And three, we have a new partnership with SMBC, which is distributing our readers in all of their bank branches around the country. So now, any one of our Japanese sellers to be can go to the local bank branch, pick up the Square card reader and be in business, and it is at parity with what we offer in the United States, and our other markets.

This all combined with the fact that Japan is hosting the 2020 Olympics and the International Rugby League where you have a bunch of individuals from all around the world who are coming to the market, expecting to pay the way that they know how to usually with card or with a phone. Makes it a perfect storm of a situation where we can really see a potential for a lot of growth. So, we’re really excited about Japan and our increased velocity in our markets outside the United States.

With that, I’ll hand it over to Amrita.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”52″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Thanks, Jack. I’d like to share three highlights this quarter. First, we continued to deliver strong revenue growth at scale. Second, we continue to build out our seller ecosystem, including the launch of Square Invoices as a stand-alone app and third, we are raising revenue guidance for the full year 2019 on the basis of strong underlying trends across our business.

So first, driving growth at scale. The momentum across both our seller and Cash App ecosystems drove total net revenue growth of 43% year-over-year or 39% excluding acquisitions and adjusted revenue growth of 59% year-over-year or 49% excluding acquisitions. Within our seller ecosystem, GPV from mid-market sellers grew 50% year-over-year. Mid-market sellers, which we define as those with over $0.5 million in GPV are now 24% of overall GPV, up from only 6% five years ago.

Within our Cash App ecosystem, we’re seeing powerful network effects at play. We see strong growth in monthly active customers with Cash App consistently ranking as a top 20 overall apps in the iOS App Store and we drive daily utility in Cash App. We also saw growth in engagement as measured by transaction frequency per active customer. With the compounding effects of growing reach and growing engagement per active, Cash App volumes grew nearly 2.5 times year-over-year.

Second, we continue to build out our seller ecosystem. The proof point this most recent quarter was the launch of Square Invoices as a stand-alone app. Invoices is a great example of our investment in scaling, and important product to our sellers. This is a product that targets a large market opportunity with $1 trillion in consumer invoices annually in the US alone.

We began invoices five years ago as a feature in our dashboard, then added it to the Square Point of Sale app and now we’ve expanded the offering with a dedicated stand-alone mobile app. Invoices has reached impressive scale, processing over $5 billion in GPV over the last 12 months with over 350,000 active sellers and we see significant runway ahead.

Finally, we are increasing our full year revenue guidance to reflect ongoing momentum in the business. We’re raising our full year 2019, total net revenue by $60 million and we are raising full year adjusted revenue guidance by $30 million. This represents a 43% growth rate, an increase of 2 points, compared to our prior guidance. The increase was primarily driven by outperformance in Cash App as well as continued strength across our seller business. We’re maintaining adjusted EBITDA guidance of $405 million to $415 million. We plan to use our momentum in delivering growth at scale to reinvest back into the business as we execute on our long-term opportunities of omni-channel financial services and international.

And I’ll now turn it back to the operator to start the Q&A portion of the call.

Questions and Answers:

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Operator” data-reactid=”61″>Operator

(Operator Instructions) The first question comes from Tien-Tsin Huang of JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Tien-Tsin HuangJPMorgan — Analyst” data-reactid=”63″>Tien-Tsin HuangJPMorgan — Analyst

Thanks so much. So, I wanted to ask on the EBITDA upside this quarter versus your guidance looks like it was bigger than usual by our account and is bigger than the revenue upside, I believe as well. So, can you detail a little more for us what fueled the upside? I heard Cash App and strengthened seller. Anymore you can give us on that and then also, again, like you said, Amrita, you’re reinvesting the whole EBITDA guidance, which makes sense, but where are you prioritizing your investments from here, I’m curious, between consumer and seller and everything else you guys have going on what’s changing in your priorities, if at all? Thanks.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”65″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Sure. Thanks for the question, Tien-Tsin. So to explain what happened in Q1, our business is demonstrating success at scale across the portfolio. We had strong adjusted revenue growth of 59% in the first quarter and excluding M&A, 49% on an organic basis. This is driven by both the outperformance in Cash App as well as broad strength across the seller business.

I’ll break it down the revenue bead into the two component pieces between transaction-based profit and subscription and services. From a transaction-based profit perspective, we grew 27% year-over-year in the first quarter based on the strength of the seller ecosystem. We continue to see stable trends with positive revenue retention, a consistent three to four quarter payback period for new sellers and new cohorts of sellers increasing in adjusted revenue contribution and we’re moving into even larger sellers as I just mentioned GPV for mid-market sellers grew 50% year-over-year.

From an SNS revenue standpoint, we doubled organically year-over-year, with broad strength. A couple of things to highlight there in particular with Cash App, we drove outperformance as you heard volume grew nearly 2.5 times year-over-year, which highlights the continued growth in terms of reach and engagement on the platform. As you heard last quarter from us, our monthly actives in December, 15 million monthly actives was up more than 100% year-over-year, and we continue to see that growth in terms of strong monthly active growth with revenues outpacing growth in monthly active customers.

Cash Card is an important piece of that. Cash Card drove higher engagement. In the quarter, we saw rapid growth in Cash Card adoption within the customer base with increasing attach rates and an increase in the frequency of usage per card active. We also saw strength with Square Capital with originations growing 50% year-over-year based on the core Flex Loan products.

And so for EBITDA, you saw the adjusted revenue beat flowing through to the bottom line. We also had some timing of expenses in the quarter, which we now expect to materialize later in the year and we plan to reinvest this upside back into the business for the remainder of the year. We’re optimizing for compelling reinvestment opportunities whenever they occur, and they’re based on when it’s the right time for our marketing and product development time line to reinvest. So you’ll see that flow through in future quarters.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Operator” data-reactid=”73″>Operator

Your next question comes from Darrin Peller of Wolfe Research. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Darrin PellerWolfe Research — Analyst” data-reactid=”75″>Darrin PellerWolfe Research — Analyst

All right, thanks guys. I just want to touch again on the — just given how strong subscription and services keeps holding up. Cash App volume is good to see, was up 2.5 times. I mean I guess that’s showing the strength of the doubling of users is showing better engagement. If you can just comment on how much the doubling is actually being monetized? How many of those users now are now being monetized so far? And how much does that contribute, the Cash App drivers contribute to subscription and services? And then, if I could just add on, the business debit card, you touched on, Jack, before, I mean, how has that been going so far? It seems like a good opportunity to kind of add more revenue after a tough comp year from last year? Thanks guys.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”77″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Okay. Thanks for the question, Darrin. I’ll start off with your question on Cash App. You’re right, we saw strong growth in subscription and services in the quarter, doubling on an organic basis. With respect to Cash App, what we’re really focused on is driving a strong business model, which we’re seeing play out here through network effects, through engagement growth, all of which should lead the meaningful revenue growth and we’re beginning to see that play out now in our financials. The opportunity here is vast, to enable access to financial services for the over 65 million (inaudible) in the US alone that are unbanked or underbanked and clearly with our success consistently in the top ’20s in the iOS App Store, we’re achieving mainstream scale.

So the way we think about the business model for Cash App is first, driving reach. The network effects within the business and the frictionless on boarding that the product teams have focused on have driven really efficient acquisition at scale. You’ve seen that play out with the doubling of the monthly active. You also see that in our financials. What we spend to acquire a monthly active is a fraction of what traditional financial institutions spend and that’s inclusive of ongoing P2P costs.

From an engagement perspective with Cash App, we’ve talked about how the product velocity and the speed of mobile developing on the mobile platform has enhanced the daily utility of the app. Our teams have released Cash Card, Boosts, Direct Deposit, cryptocurrency, all within a relatively recent time period and one another proof point of that daily utility is, if you look in our filings, you’ll see that we’ve tripled the amount of customers stored funds within Cash App and that obviously Cash App volume is growing even faster than monthly actives as we shared. Cash Card is a big part of this where we’re driving engagement and higher lifetime values.

From a monetization standpoint, we have a number of business models in place today. As you know, Instant Deposit, Cash Card, Cash for Business, P2P funded through credit cards, cryptocurrency, but this is just the beginning. The hard part is the engagement and our team is nailing that. So as we launch more features, as we launch more services, as we grow daily utility, we believe monetization will follow.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”82″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

And Darrin, this is Jack. On Square Card, just to remind everyone, this is a card that we enable sellers to receive. And basically it allows them to download the Square Point of Sale and get a place to store their money and also a card that’s Mastercard branded that they can use anywhere. So, basically they don’t have to make a trip to the bank just to get into business, which is pretty cool.

And we — one of the biggest reasons we did Square Card was to give our sellers faster access to their funds. This has been a consistent theme throughout our history. The faster we give access to funds, the more people can make smart decisions about how to build their business. So it ultimately leads to these businesses growing over time. So we found in our early pilot that over 40% of Square Card sellers did not previously have a business debit card. So they’re actually mixing their business funds for their shop with personal funds. So this also allows them to segment those funds.

The early read on this just one interesting metric that we can share is that, active Square Card sellers are spending over 20% of their GPV through the card. So this is pretty, pretty excellent and a strong leading indicator that there’s product market fit, and something that provides a lot of utility to get access their funds actually focus on what matters most, which is building the business. So we think there’s a long runway here. As I said earlier in my opening, this is all based on Cash Card functionality and that system. So, we’ve learned a ton through our Cash Card and we expect to take all those learnings and make it better for our seller audience.

Your next question comes from the line of Eric Ciancaglini, a Square seller. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Eric Ciancaglini — Analyst” data-reactid=”94″>Eric Ciancaglini — Analyst

Yeah, thanks guys. It’s Eric Ciancaglini. Again I’m a Square seller, The name of my business is Chank’s Pizza Cones. We actually serve pizza in a cone shape and my question is, so we you Square Payroll and I’m also a Square shareholder and I’m just I’m curious to know your strategy for adding payroll to the Square services. Was it mainly because you see an ability to drive additional revenue through users that use Square now, are you focusing on capturing new users as more of a strategic move for bigger market share?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”96″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Thank you. Thank you for the question, Eric, and thanks for using Square. We traditionally just look at what are the most critical needs for sellers. And is there anything that we can build that would be differentiated in the market that’s bringing some new value. And with Payroll, we looked pretty deeply and a lot of time that was being spent just managing employees within each one of our sellers shops.

We already had an ability to use time cards within our register and just felt like a natural move to also figure out how to use that system to pay people as well. And it really speaks to something we want to do more of and see more of is — see a lot more overlap between the seller ecosystem and the individual ecosystem that we’re building with cash. So one of the things that we did for payroll for instance is, employees can be paid via the Cash App.

So we believe it’s an extremely easy and fast way to get paid, but also to utilize your money much faster as well for those employees. So as we looked at the opportunity and we saw where we could add some value, we decided to do it. But generally, that’s how we think about strategy going forward is identifying real critical needs where there are gaps within our ecosystem and then figure out like what we can bring to the table that’s unique and differentiated and much stronger than what’s out there today.

Your next question comes from the line of Josh Beck of KeyBanc. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Josh BeckKeyBanc — Analyst” data-reactid=”104″>Josh BeckKeyBanc — Analyst

Thanks for the question. I wanted to follow up on the seller card. It sounds like nice product market fit with the stat that you gave there. How should we think about the adoption curve. It seems like you have a very good channel to these sellers, to the dashboards, email or otherwise. So it feels like the adoption curve could be fairly strong. So how should we think about that?

And then secondly, when we think about the build with the Square pipeline, obviously you have a really good relationship with Eventbrite where it’s more of a online gateway capacity. How should we think about the pipeline of opportunities there?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”107″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, thanks for the question, Josh. So, on Square Card, I don’t believe we’ve done much in the way of traditional marketing or any sort of push outside of the product itself. So, we do think there’s a lot of opportunity to make it known that we are doing this. But right now, we’re making sure that the sellers that we see that would really benefit from it, have access to it. So there’s a number of things we can do both in terms of on boarding, but also with sellers that are currently utilizing Square to surface this much higher.

As I said, we just haven’t prioritized that yet because we still wanted to make sure that the product feels really amazing, works, provides utility and then really turn on the gas. So, that’s where we are in the adoption curve. It’s still early and we’re getting a lot of really great feedback from our sellers. It’s — I think it’s one of our most well-received launches in recent times. So and something that — we definitely exceeded our expectations in the results so far.

On Build with Square and Eventbrite, we see Eventbrite certainly as amazing partner, but also prototype of another marketplace. We have a marketplace within Caviar, we have a marketplace within Eventbrite, and we do believe that we should be building within our developer platform more opportunities for market places like Eventbrite. So we get to learn a lot from this partnership and that will lead to more opportunities outside of any one company, but any marketplace that exists can utilize our services. So that’s ultimately the goal.

Your next question comes from Jim Schneider of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jim SchneiderGoldman Sachs — Analyst” data-reactid=”117″>Jim SchneiderGoldman Sachs — Analyst

Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could maybe comment on the further development and traction you’re getting with your vertical specific software, specifically things like Square for Restaurants. I think there was some anecdotal evidence that you have some competitive takeaways there. So maybe talk about how that is going, as well as the traction on your sort of other more traditional retail solutions. Any kind of metrics you could provide as an update on that front would be helpful. Thank you.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”119″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, so just backing up a little bit, when we think about vertical point of sales, we don’t just limit ourselves to Square for Retail and Square for Restaurants, we have invoices, for example, we have appointments. So this is a broader ecosystem of what we see in terms of vertical adoption. In the actual points of sale with restaurants and retail, restaurants — we’re pretty pleased with the adoption and what we’re seeing and one of the things that we believe is another one of our differentiators how self serve our system is and our ecosystem and this is proven with restaurants with 65% of restaurant sellers have self on boarded, which is amazing because it really de-taxes a bunch of work we might otherwise have to do with customer support or account management or sales. So that’s a great sign that we’re building the technology in the right way. It’s intuitive, people can figure it out and then get up and running.

You pair that with the average annualized GPV of a restaurant seller, it’s over 650,000. So we are reaching large restaurants and they are our on-boarding themselves. So those two data points are excellent in our view.

On the Square for Retail side as you’ve probably been following, we’ve had to do a little bit of a reboot here. One of the things that we did well was Square for Restaurants as we took a lot of time talking with restaurant owners and operators and just really decomposed everything that they had to work with every single day. And what was frustrating them, and how we could improve it and that made a product that found some pretty significant product market fit right away.

We did not do that with the original Square for Retail. So we rebooted the whole thing, following that pattern, and we’re seeing some equally good results from that move. In contrast, about 85% of retail sellers, self on board versus the 65% on restaurants and nearly 40% of those sellers are new to Square, which is excellent. Our average annualized GPV of Square for Retail seller is nearly 250,000. So again, we continue to be attractive to the very small and the very large with the exact same software and this is out of intent of wanting to build something that we — that scales from the very small to the very large.

Was that — I don’t know, was that your whole question or did I miss something?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jim SchneiderGoldman Sachs — Analyst” data-reactid=”125″>Jim SchneiderGoldman Sachs — Analyst

It was. It was. Thank you, Jack. And then maybe one — that’s great. Maybe one for Amrita, just philosophically as you approach the EBITDA guidance, I think you had previously talked about kind of seeing a similar margin improvement from a margin percentage basis as we saw last year, obviously you’re taking up your revenue, but leaving EBITDA the same. So maybe — I understand the timing of expenses part of a bit, but maybe just give us an update about how you’re philosophically thinking about the EBITDA margin piece of the equation? Thank you.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”127″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Sure. Our financial priorities remain the same, which is driving long-term topline growth and growth in absolute dollars of adjusted EBITDA. We have a number of levers in our business to achieve this. First given the opportunity we see and given the efficiency of returns we see in the investment in our business, we’re being very deliberate and reinvesting into those opportunities. So in our ’19 guidance, you see that we are leading with this. We are maintaining our EBITDA guidance of 60% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, while raising guidance on revenue to 43%.

We focus on financial discipline. We focus on operating excellence and you’ve seen that play out with OpEx leverage in our business and we expect over time adjusted EBITDA growth to continue to outpace adjusted revenue growth as it has for each of the last five years. Again our reinvestment that we’re focused on includes investing into the Cash App, which is historically, we’ve been investing in and it’s bearing fruit in a meaningful way now as well as investments in our seller ecosystem, which are driving growth. You’re seeing that play out with things like investments in hardware through Square Register and terminal, investments in software and payments with virtual terminal in invoices and scaling launches of our more recent launches like Square Card developer and online.

So ultimately these investments are supported by a strong business model with positive attributes related to the efficiency of those investments and multiple monetization levers down the road across both seller and individual ecosystems.

Hi. Terrific. Thanks for taking my question. I’d — question about the Square Online store. Phenomenal to see that launch this quarter, the relaunch of Weebly. Can you talk about when you’re looking a little more detail on that, when you’re looking at your seller base, do you have a sense for what proportion of that base are candidates for adding the online store? How you’re going after them from a sales and marketing perspective? Then also a little bit of a sense of how the economics of one of those sellers changes when they add the online store? I mean is it like a double of the type of revenue you’re seeing what’s — can you just dimensionalize that for us a little bit? Thank you.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”137″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, Lisa. Thank you for the question. So we’re also pretty pleased with the launch of Square Online Store. It does capture a lot of the intent and interest of the thesis we had with Weebly. The biggest underlying trend here is, we are seeing sellers all over, not want to optimize their sales for anywhere their customers are. So that is in person, that is online and also within mobile apps. So our strategy is to make sure that feels very fluid and they don’t really have to think about where their customers are coming from, which puts a lot of the emphasis on how the dashboards works and consolidates everything, how we think data across all those channels and we’ve tried to make it is as effortless as possible and there’s still some work to do there. So far, we have seen about 70% of Square online sellers have used Square before expanding online.

And as we’ve seen generally when a seller does go online and or an online so goes offline, they do increase our sales and that is good. I don’t have exact metrics around what those look like, but we are — we’re making sure that one, our sellers know that this option is available, it’s an easy flip of a switch and if they want to do anything, a little bit more custom or personalized to their business, they can utilize our API or hire a developer to utilize the API. So marketing ideally starts within the product, but we’re going to continue experiment and test as well. And anything you want to say, Amrita about the economics?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”140″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

We know that 30% of our larger sellers serve their customers via more than one channel on Square. So, we’re very focused on expanding our opportunities across going deeper within sellers and providing new ways that sellers can on board.

So I’ll start there. One of the reasons we believe is very interesting to us is because they are operating in markets that we’re not in and that gave us a lot more understanding and learning and to help us make better informed decision. Informed decisions about what, where to go next. Right now, we are so focused on making sure that we have more and more product parity with United States around all of our markets. So, Japan is a most notable recent example of this, where we — as I said earlier, we do see a lot of tailwinds now, especially with the government incentivizing both consumers and also merchants to adopt digital money and move away from paper cash. So, we’ve been in that market for quite some time and this is the first time we’ve seen that broad based government support as well as other events coming up that will put much more focus on Tokyo and also on paying with cards and also phones. So, we’re pretty pleased with that.

And then, in terms of more broadly, we’re working to make sure that we can launch more and more of our products in all of our markets. Square Invoices, the app launch in all of our markets at once. So, that’s what we want to see a whole lot more of. And we continue to make progress around the world with the markets that we’re currently in.

Maybe, Amrita can speak to some of the details.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”162″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Sure. So as Jack mentioned, we are really focused on increasing our product velocity for launches outside of the US and that really means completing our feature set bringing, what we’ve worked hard to build here in the US to our international markets. Again, you’ve seen that more recently with the global launch for invoices as a stand-alone app and 25% of invoices downloads to date actually come from outside of the US. You see that with the launch of the Square Online Store across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. And you see that with the hardware launches that Jack mentioned in Japan.

We see strong Net Promoter Scores in most of our international markets, anywhere from 60 to 80 across the UK, Canada and Australia. And we’ve got ongoing brand campaigns in each of our international markets now. We’ve launched a brand campaign in the UK and saw efficiency from that and now are — now they were reaching feature completeness across our portfolio and some of the other markets. We’re beginning to roll out this brand campaigns across the other international markets. Overall, it’s a large opportunity for us. We see $6 trillion in household spend across our current international markets, which is 2x what it is in the US. So, we see a big opportunity ahead of us and we’ll try to continue to execute.

Yeah, hi guys. Wanted to ask as Square moves up the market to the mid to large clients, I assume Square is likely replacing incumbent, so curious on what’s winning versus the competition? Is it all just the omni solution you guys can provide. And just thinking, do you guys have enough in the sales channels to go after that larger market? Thanks.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”171″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, I’ll start off. So, we continue to see the largest sellers find value and utility in our base offerings. So, we built products within 10 of the same software scaling from very small to very large and that continues to resonate even with larger sellers and we continue to see larger sellers self on board. We continue to see them take advantage of the broader ecosystem.

So, all these things combine toward what differentiates us from our competitors, but if there is one — if I only had to pick one, it would be the ecosystem and just like all the tools in one place and how quickly, we’re moving to add new tools to improve them. We continue to see large sellers also utilize our API in significant ways. This has been a very strong offering for larger sellers, because they can hook up legacy systems and can also customize entire point of sale, but so use our hardware, which you can find at any of our peers. And then I’ll pass it over to Amrita.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”174″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Yeah. Sure I’ll just add to Jack’s comments. We’re focused as he said on building products that serve larger sellers. Whether you look at our hardware products, like Square Terminal or Square Register, both of which over-indexed to larger sellers. Square Terminal with $165,000 GPV registered with $300,000 GPV or the developer platform as Jack mentioned which over indexes to mid market sellers. And then the verticals, which Jack had earlier mentioned, over-indexing to larger sellers. We’re also trying to reach sellers from a marketing standpoint. So, we’ve got products that address larger sellers and smaller sellers and then we want to reach from a marketing perspective these larger sellers.

So just in April, this last month, we launched a new ecosystem marketing campaign reaching 7 million, small and medium-sized businesses across the US focused on expanding awareness of the full breadth, an ecosystem of products that Jack was referring to. We know that over 50% of larger sellers already use two or more of our products, but we’re focused on continuing to grow that through this ecosystem marketing campaign and continuing to build out strong products that address this market.

Hi guys, thanks for taking my question. I wanted to ask again about online, your online strategy. Obviously your advantage in terms of linking online and offline sales to retailers and I get that’s what makes Square Online Store compelling. Can you do something similar at other platforms like WooCommerce or Magento or Shopify, those types of commerce platforms. I mean, is there a bigger e-commerce like omni-channel addressable market, you can go after by kind of opening up and working to integrate online, and offline through those folks?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”183″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, we have focused more on omni-channel rather than just pure e-commerce, because that’s really where our sweet spot is with sellers. But, you can imagine us favoring one more in the future given, how much activity is happening with e-commerce. So, all this is going into our strategy around the developer platform. We want to make sure that we’re testing the very small, but also the very large Eventbrite is a good example of the very large where we — we are testing our marketplaces strategy within — on top of the developer platform. So we do believe that there is a ton of room here, and we just want to make sure that we are optimizing for the best experience. First, we don’t believe that we need to be first-to-market to win customers. We just have to provide something that really adds differentiated value to the marketplace and that’s what we’re focusing and that’s what we’re proving out.

Thank you for the question. The purchase volume while very impressive at 27% growth has decelerated somewhat. There are — you’re suddenly waking up a lot of competitors in this space, Jack and they’re investing more heavily to compete with Square. Are you seeing more competition, whether it’s — I know you’ve built the ecosystem and others are trying to build something similar to that, but are you seeing more competition, whether it’s from Clover or TSYS or other merchant acquirers or FinTech companies?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”193″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Yeah, I mean we are definitely seeing competition on the edges. We have a lot of firms out there that are making solutions around payments, around payroll, around delivery, around everything that we serve peer-to-peer, what not. But again, I think it really comes back to this concept of ecosystem and how all these things tie together. And we have built, I think fundamentally new model within finance, we benefit a lot from. And we do expect people to copy aspects of it, but we want to make sure that we’re focused on being the best out there and really focusing on the quality of the experience, the elegance, the fact that it is intuitive. So it’s self-serve that it works seamlessly with all tools that we provide and also third-party tools and that continues to win. But we do expect competition on that dynamic, but we think we have pretty good and proven track record of being able to scale that into something that is meaningful, both for sellers, individuals and also us.

Bob, just on your GPV point. Just to give you a little bit of context there. So in the first quarter GPV was $23 billion, up 27% year-over-year. Over the trailing four quarters, we had approximately $90 billion of GPV. What we’re seeing drive growth there — outsized growth is a couple of things. First, larger sellers, which we’ve been talking about, we see continued strength there. Over half of our GPV mix now comes from larger sellers and mid-market sellers as we shared is growing 50% or grew 50% year-over-year in the first quarter.

We have multiple levers of growth within scaling our new payment channels. A couple of examples of that, invoices, as we discussed $5 billion in GPV over the trailing four quarters is growing much faster versus the blended overall GPV rate and some of the products that Jack was referencing developer verticals, online, these are all relatively younger products and they are growing meaningfully faster. So we’re going to continue to push them. But GPV is only one measure of the value that we provide to our sellers.

When we think about the ecosystem, we think about adjusted revenue, which is how we measure our business and how we incent our teams to grow. And again adjusted revenue grew 59% year-over-year, which captures — we think the full breadth and value of the ecosystem beyond just payments, including also subscription and services.

Thanks, and good evening. The transaction costs as a percentage of GPV was a little bit better than what we had anticipated. And conversely, the profit dollars associated with that and the profit margin was also better. The question I really have is, is there something that’s happening in the result of Cash App or Cash Card that is changing this funding mix, so to speak, as we think about that and if so — is this trend something we should be tracking a little more closely like commensurate with the Cash App growth? Thanks.

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer” data-reactid=”207″>Amrita AhujaChief Financial Officer

Thanks for the question, Dan. No, Cash App, you should think of it separately from transaction costs. As a reminder, both GPV and transaction profit growth exclude Cash App. Separately as you’ve heard us say Cash App has continued to outperform and drove revenue growth for us and for the overall business with volumes up 2.5 times nearly year-over-year, but I would think of that separately from a transaction cost perspective.

Thank you very much. Jack, I wanted to ask, kind of an industry question of you. We’ve seen obviously a move to consolidate some of the upmarket merchant acquirers and participants in the market. And I know in the past, you’ve indicated that you didn’t feel like you could achieve everything that you wanted to if you were part of a bigger organization, but I’m wondering how you’re thinking about consolidation and if it makes sense for Square to be looking at doing something similar or its own M&A activity, et cetera in the space or do you prefer still very much an organic approach to the market?

<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman” data-reactid=”221″>Jack DorseyChief Executive Officer and Chairman

Well, a bit of both, if I’m understanding your question correctly. We do see that others are consolidating and acquiring, but they do so in a fairly typical pattern that we resisted, which is look at just the parts of the equation and sort of building a greater ecosystem. So we do have a significant M&A strategy in terms of looking for a really great teams, really great products. And if we — if we determine that they will help the ecosystem or add a new potential solution that seller is facing in the critical way or an individual within Cash App is facing in a critical way that we will acquire it.

We tend to do much smaller ones than our peers because we’ve managed to find like really great teams, every single person in the organization is really high impact. And that’s why we want to optimize for ultimately, but it comes down to — we’re constantly looking at the horizon of what companies are out there, start-ups, current companies and making decisions based on what we see in the quality of the people, the quality of the work, or the quality of the product. We haven’t historically taken a position of just buying revenue or buying customers. We want to buy technology and — that is what we’re focused on.

So I do think we’ll continue to see consolidation, but that doesn’t worry me. What I want to push on is like, we continue to enrich our ecosystem and make it stronger and stronger and stronger. By doing so, we add resilience, we add durability, we’re hired for multiple jobs by a seller, by an individual rather than just be dependent upon one. So all these things are what we want to drive and M&A is certainly a channel to do so.
