OAKLAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The Company reported Total Processing Volume (TPV) of $74 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 30%. The Company reported Net Revenue of $128 million and Gross Profit of $90 million, representing increases of 18% and 24%, respectively, year-over-year. GAAP Net Loss for the quarter was $29 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $9 million.
"In the third quarter our true growth trajectory was back on display as we lapped the Block contract renewal, while continuing to demonstrate operational discipline to fuel strong Adjusted EBITDA. We combined this with several new product announcements that further enhance the Marqeta platform to provide transformative payment solutions at scale for our expanding customer base,” said Simon Khalaf, CEO at Marqeta.
Marqeta highlighted several recent business updates that demonstrate its current business momentum:
- Marqeta introduced a Portfolio Migration service that reduces complexity for customers upgrading existing card programs onto the Marqeta platform, without impacting their existing cardholder experience. This ability allows for the seamless migration of customers from competitor platforms to Marqeta. Completed at the end of October, Marqeta successfully migrated millions of Klarna cards in Europe onto its platform from Klarna’s incumbent processor.
- Marqeta unveiled Marqeta Flex, an industry-leading solution that revolutionizes how BNPL loans can be delivered inside payment apps and wallets. Marqeta Flex is intended to increase BNPL’s acceptance and provide consumers with access to personalized BNPL options inside of the payment apps they use most often. Marqeta also announced Affirm and Klarna as the first BNPL providers to be integrated into Marqeta Flex and Branch, which is used by a large number of Uber drivers, as the first application to support Marqeta Flex.
- UX Toolkit, also introduced this quarter, is an addition to Marqeta's portfolio of card program management tools. The UX Toolkit includes user interface components that can be customized and enhanced to improve cardholder touchpoints. The UX Toolkit will allow Marqeta’s customers to create front-end modern payment experiences from scratch with fewer development resources required. This will further enhance Marqeta’s leadership in program management and enable its customers to deliver better user experiences for their cardholders.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results:
Total Processing Volume increased by 30% year-over-year, rising to $74 billion from $57 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
Net Revenue of $128 million increased by $19 million, or 18% year-over-year, primarily driven by increased volumes, partially offset by unfavorable mix due to faster growth of Powered by Marqeta volume and a renegotiated platform partnership in the first quarter of 2024.
Gross Profit increased by 24% year-over-year to $90 million from $73 million in the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to our TPV growth. Gross Margin was 70% in the third quarter of 2024.
Net Loss of $29 million in the quarter improved by $26 million year-over-year due to gross profit growth and lower operating expenses. Net Loss margin was 22% in the third quarter of 2024, an improvement of 29 percentage points versus last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9 million in the third quarter of 2024, increasing by $11 million year-over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7% in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 9 percentage points versus last 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Non-GAAP 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) income adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; executive chairman long-term performance award; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring charges; 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 (benefit); and other income (expense), net, which consists of interest income from our short-term investments, realized foreign currency gains and losses, our share of equity method investments’ profit or loss, impairment of equity method investments or other financial instruments, and gain from sale of equity method investments. 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. This measure is used by management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating efficiency.
We define Non-GAAP 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 charges; 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 Non-GAAP 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, and Non-GAAP 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.
The following table shows Marqeta's GAAP results reconciled to non-GAAP results included in this release:

(1) Prior period amounts related to the Executive Chairman Long-Term Performance Award have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |
|||||||||||||||
(2) Acquisition-related expenses, which include transaction costs, integration costs and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expense, have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as such expenses are not reflective of our ongoing core operations and are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business; instead, these are costs specifically associated with a discrete transaction. |
|||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to the comparable GAAP measure for the fourth quarter of 2024 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.
