TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: MAY 2, 2018 We continue to accelerate growth at scale, expanding our ecosystem for sellers and individuals. In the first quarter of 2018, total net revenue was $669 million, up 45% year over year, and Adjusted Revenue was $307 million, up 51% year over year. This is an increase from the fourth quarter of 2017, when total net revenue and Adjusted Revenue grew 36% and 47%, respectively, year over year. Gross Payment Volume (GPV) was $17.8 billion, up 31% year over year. Net loss in the first quarter was $24 million, which is an increase of $9 million from a net loss of $15 million in the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was $36 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $27 million in the first quarter of 2017. We achieved an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12%, which reflects our reinvestment in the business to drive long-term growth. Together with Weebly, we will provide sellers with one cohesive solution to start or grow an omnichannel business. Omnichannel commerce—enabling sellers to engage with buyers wherever they are—is our top focus area in 2018. Square started with in-person commerce: Our integrated hardware, point-of-sale software, and managed payments have enabled sellers to begin accepting payments in just minutes. Today, it is important that sellers can reach buyers as they move between channels (in person, online, in apps): On average, omnichannel 1 shoppers spend 3.5 times more than single-channel shoppers. We are building tools that enable sellers to manage their entire business with one integrated solution. Weebly online store In April, we entered into an agreement to acquire Weebly, a San Francisco- based technology company that provides customers with tools to easily build a professional website or online store. We will combine Weebly’s web ON THE COVER: presence tools with Square’s in-person and online offerings to create one Maryam Henderson-Uloho is the founder of cohesive solution for sellers of all types, including restaurants, retailers, and SisterHearts, a thrift store, housing facility, and bridge for ex-offenders to transition service providers. An integrated suite of services will make critical business back into society. SisterHearts has been tasks like engaging with customers, managing orders, growing sales, and on Square for four years and uses Square Register and Square Marketing to run the making informed business decisions easier than ever for sellers. business. 3

Weebly will expand Square’s customer base globally and add a new recurring revenue stream. Weebly has millions of customers and more than 625,000 paid subscribers. Square will provide Weebly customers with access to the company’s ecosystem of managed payments, hardware, and software, which complement Weebly’s services, including free website hosting, premium (paid) website hosting, online store, and marketing tools. Nearly 40% of Weebly’s paid subscribers are outside the U.S., which will help accelerate Square’s global expansion. We will continue to provide an open platform to offer sellers the flexibility to select and integrate the third-party solutions that are best for their business. In the first quarter, the number of sellers that are integrated with a third-party solution increased nearly 80% year over year. Today, we offer more than 100 third-party partner integrations across a diverse range of third-party apps: website builders such as GoDaddy, Wix, and WooCommerce; points of sale such as SuiteRetail and Vend; and back- office systems like SAP Business One, Intuit, and Xero. Larger sellers come to Square for our ecosystem: More than half of larger A larger seller generates more than sellers use multiple Square products. $125,000 in annualized GPV.

We continue to build remarkable products that meet the needs of sellers of every size. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we launched Square Register, our first product that combines hardware, point-of-sale software, and 4

payments technology into a powerful, all-in-one offering. Square Register TOP INDUSTRIES USING SQUARE does not require a third-party mobile device, and the customer display REGISTER creates an opportunity to establish a seller-buyer connection. The average Food & Drink annualized GPV of a Square Register seller is more than $300,000, 37% demonstrating that this product is resonating with larger sellers. And Services Square Register is gaining traction with our existing sellers and attracting 28% new sellers: Nearly a third of Square Register units ordered in the first Retail quarter were from sellers new to Square. 23% Based on number of active sellers. Pokeatery is a quick-serve restaurant that specializes in poké, a raw fish–based dish found in Hawaiian cuisine. The business switched from its merchant services account to Square for our cohesive ecosystem and simple, transparent pricing. Pokeatery uses Square Register in its four locations in Northern California and Austin, Texas. The point-of-sale software has been easy for employees to use, the hardware is an ideal fit for the fast-casual environment, and customers love the look. Owner Derek Chung likes the ability to connect with his customers via Customer Directory, and two locations also use Square Loyalty and Square Marketing. For the catering business, Pokeatery uses Square Invoices—it makes billing and payment simple, and customers value the security. Additionally, Pokeatery Austin uses Square Payroll to easily manage its more than 15 employees. Pokeatery continues to grow and will open a fifth location later Pokeatery (You might think this looks like steak, but this year. it’s ) In the UK, we recently launched Instant Deposit and Cash App—two of our fastest-growing services. We know that all sellers value speed—particularly when it comes to their money. The launch of Instant Deposit helps to solve two of the biggest challenges UK businesses face: managing cash flow and gaining fast access to funds. Settlement of funds in the UK typically takes three days 2 With Instant Deposit, sellers in the UK can with other payment processors. now receive their money in minutes at the tap of a button, even outside business hours. In the first quarter, Cash App remained the #1 Finance App in the App Store, and we are excited to bring the product to the UK. The app is available to download from the App Store, Google Play, and on the web at 5

cash.me/uk. Cash App features free peer-to-peer money transfer—making it an easy way to send and receive money between UK bank accounts—and customers receive the funds into their bank in minutes. Similar to the U.S., we see an opportunity in the UK to expand the suite of financial services we offer individuals. As we’ve seen in other markets, Square is growing in communities outside urban centers: More than three-quarters of active Square sellers in the UK are outside London. As more than half of UK bank branches have closed 3 people are underserved by the financial system, particularly in since 1989, areas like Holywell, Wales.

We will continue to provide access to tools to empower people to participate and thrive in the economy. FINANCIAL DISCUSSION: Gross Payment Volume (GPV) In the first quarter of 2018, we processed $17.8 billion in GPV, up 31% year over year. This was consistent with 31% year-over-year growth in the fourth Holywell, Wales quarter of 2017, highlighting continued growth at scale. We continue to see strength from larger sellers. In the first quarter of 2018, GPV from larger sellers grew 44% year over year and accounted for 47% of total GPV, up from 43% of total GPV in the first quarter of 2017. Revenue Total net revenue was $669 million in the first quarter of 2018, up 45% year over year.

Transaction losses as a percentage of GPV continue to trend below our 0.1% historical average, underscoring ongoing improvements in risk management.

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.06 for the first quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss per share of $0.04 in the first quarter of 2017. We had 396 million weighted-average shares as of the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $36 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $27 million in the first quarter of 2017, up 33% year over year.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Revenue. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing net loss, excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and gain or loss on sale of property and equipment, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock during the period, including the dilutive effect of all potential shares. 9

Given the significant market opportunity ahead of us, we will continue to reinvest in our business to drive future growth and are therefore maintaining our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Full-year 2018 guidance does not include the impact from the Weebly acquisition. We will update guidance after the completion of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018. We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to their GAAP equivalents as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense and weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, we have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this letter. It is important to note that the actual amount of such reconciling items would have a significant impact if they were included in our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS. 10

Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any of the statements in this letter. KEY OPERATING METRICS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we consider certain operating and financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Gross Payment Volume, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our business and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of other payments solution providers. We define Gross Payment Volume (GPV) as the total dollar amount of all card payments processed by sellers using Square, net of refunds. Additionally, GPV includes Cash App activity related to peer-to-peer payments sent from a credit card, and Cash for Business. Adjusted Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as our total net revenue less transaction-based costs and bitcoin costs. We believe it is useful to subtract transaction-based costs and bitcoin costs from total net revenue to derive Adjusted Revenue as this is a primary metric used by management to measure our business performance, and it affords greater comparability to other payments solution providers. Substantially all of the transaction-based costs are interchange and assessment fees, processing fees, and bank settlement fees paid to third-party payment processors and financial institutions. While some payments solution providers present their revenue in a similar fashion to us, others present their revenue net of transaction-based costs because, unlike us, they pass through these costs directly to their sellers and are not deemed the principal in these arrangements. Under our standard pricing model, we do not pass through these costs directly to our sellers. We also deduct bitcoin costs because we consider our role in the bitcoin transactions to be facilitating customer access to bitcoin. Since we only apply a small margin to the market cost of bitcoin when we sell bitcoin to customers, and we have no control over the cost of bitcoin in the market, which tends to be volatile, we believe deducting bitcoin costs is a better reflection of the economic benefits as well as the Company’s performance from the bitcoin transactions. Adjusted Revenue has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and non-GAAP operating expenses are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net loss and net loss per share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs in connection with our offering of convertible senior notes in the first quarter of 2017, the gain or loss on the sale of property and equipment, and impairment of intangible assets, as applicable. In addition to the items above, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses are non- GAAP financial measures that also exclude depreciation, other cash interest income and expense, other income and expense, and provision or benefit from income taxes, as applicable. Basic Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share is computed by dividing the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential shares of common stock. 13

We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
