The Company's annual total processing volume was up 34 percent year-over-year to $222 billion, generating $676 million in annual revenue.
Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Total processing volume (TPV) was $62 billion for the quarter, representing a 33% year-over-year increase, and TPV was $222 billion for the full 2023 fiscal year, an annual increase of 34%.
Marqeta's Q4 earnings are the Company's second full quarter of financial results reflecting its Cash App contract renewal effective as of July 2023. Marqeta reported Q4 net revenue of $119 million, a 42% decrease in net revenue, which reflected a 59 percentage point negative growth impact due to the change in revenue presentation resulting from the new Cash App contract. The Company saw gross profit of $83 million during the quarter, down 4% year-over-year, primarily due to the new pricing for Cash App. For the full 2023 fiscal year, Marqeta reported net revenue of $676 million and gross profit of $330 million, representing an annual decrease of 10%, and an increase of 3%, respectively.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, Marqeta reported a GAAP net loss of $40 million and Adjusted EBITDA income of $3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a GAAP net loss of $223 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2 million.
"2023 was transformative for Marqeta, as we enhanced our platform with new credit card program management capabilities, renewed the large majority of our processing volume to longer term deals, and delivered on operating efficiency," said Simon Khalaf, CEO at Marqeta. "We are entering 2024 with a best-in-class product set, continued growth in Fintech, and exciting opportunities in embedded finance."

Marqeta, Inc. Reconciliation of GAAP to NON-GAAP Measures (in thousands) |
|||||||||||||||
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 income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; 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. |
|||||||||||||||
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; 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. |

(1) 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. |
