OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Marqeta reported total processing volume (TPV) of $27.6 billion, with net revenue of $132 million. This represented an increase of 60% and 56%, respectively, from the same quarter of 2020. The company saw gross profit of $59 million during the quarter, up 67% year-over-year. The company reported a gross margin of 45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, up from 42% in the same quarter of 2020. Marqeta reported a gross margin for the first nine months of 2021 of 43%, up from 40% for the corresponding period of 2020. It also reported a GAAP net loss of $45.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(4.9) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
“Modern card issuing is at the heart of today’s digital economy, and our third quarter results put that on display, both with the growth we’re seeing, and the way our platform is bringing to life unique new payments use cases for an incredible array of innovators,” said Jason Gardner, Founder and CEO of Marqeta.
Marqeta highlighted several recent key business updates that show off its momentum in the market:
- Marqeta announced significant new customers: Bill.com will leverage Marqeta’s solution to help its financial institution partners and their customers to streamline their payment processes by using virtual cards, and Figure selected Marqeta to power its Figure Pay digital account which has built-in Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) functionality.
- Marqeta spotlighted the rise of a new category of card solutions allowing its customers’ cardholders to make purchases at the point of sale in fiat currency using their cryptocurrency wallets, or earn cryptocurrency rewards on their spending, with category leaders Coinbase, Fold, Shakepay and Bakkt all leveraging its modern card issuing platform.
- The Marqeta platform supported the launch of new card programs from existing major customers: Uber Freight launched a unique driver card for its carriers, which lets carriers get paid out for their earnings 99.7% faster than the industry standard.
- Marqeta’s European business continues to show strong growth. The number of transactions processed by Marqeta’s European customers in the third quarter of 2021 increased by over 340% year-over-year. Similarly, since September 30, 2020, Marqeta has doubled its European customer base.
- Marqeta continued to expand its product and partner ecosystem. After launching its first credit program in the second quarter of this year, Marqeta continued to onboard new credit card programs, with M1 Finance going live in third quarter, and Marqeta was named as a launch partner for Mastercard’s Installments Program, which builds in the tech infrastructure among payment acquirers to support BNPL programs.

1 Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
2 We track a number of operating and financial metrics, including the key metric set forth in this table (Total Processing Volume), to help evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, evaluate the effectiveness of our investments, and assess operational efficiencies. Total Processing Volume (TPV) represents the total dollar amount of payments processed through our platform, net of returns and chargebacks. We believe that TPV is a key indicator of the market adoption of our platform, growth of our brand, growth of our customers' businesses and scale of our business.
3 See "Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" for definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and a reconciliation of the net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.
Third Quarter Financial Results:
Net revenue increased by $47.2 million, or 56% year-over-year, rising to $131.5 million from $84.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 resulting from a 60% increase in TPV year-over-year.
Gross profit increased by 67% year-over-year, rising to $59.1 million, from $35.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 due to our TPV growth and increased Card Network incentives from a contract that was amended in the third quarter to include more favorable incentive payments to the Company .
Gross margin increased from 42% in the third quarter of 2020 to 45% during the third quarter of 2021. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2021 was helped by a Card Network Incentive contract that was amended in the third quarter of 2021 and which reduced our cost of revenues.
Net loss increased by $33.4 million, or 272%, year-over-year to $45.7 million resulting from our increase in gross profit, offset by an increase in compensation, benefits and technology expenses as we continued our investment in our people and platform.
Total Processing Volume increased by 60% year-over-year, rising to $27.6 billion from $17.2 billion in the third quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2021 was $(4.9) million, a decrease of $(5.6) million year-over-year.

Marqeta, Inc.
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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; legal, financial, and tax due diligence costs related to potential acquisitions; income tax expense; and other income (expense) net, which consists of changes in the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities (for periods prior to the IPO), realized foreign currency gains and losses, and interest income from our marketable securities. 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 certain annual employee bonus plans.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. This measure is used by management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating efficiency.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.
The following table shows Marqeta's GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure is not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items as such items cannot be reasonably predicted. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
