MARQETA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The global modern card issuer reported Total Processing Volume growth of 32%
and Gross Profit growth of 17% in the second quarter of 2026.
OAKLAND, Calif. – August 4, 2026 - Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The Company reported Total Processing Volume (TPV) of $120 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 32%. Marqeta reported Net Revenue of $176 million and Gross Profit of $122 million, both growing 17% year-over-year. GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $8 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $37 million. Adjusted EBITDA growth was 31% year-over-year.
“Our second quarter results reinforce the momentum behind our business and the increasing value our modern card issuing platform delivers for innovators worldwide,” said Mike Milotich, CEO of Marqeta. “Strong Gross Profit growth, our second consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, and the quality programs we’re onboarding all reflect how the breadth, flexibility, and scale of our platform enable customers to expand and thrive.”
Marqeta has been at the forefront of modern issuer processing for over a decade, enabling growth and innovation for customers across diverse use cases and geographies. Marqeta highlighted several recent updates that demonstrate its current business momentum, including:
Multi-national Card Issuing
•Building on their long-term relationship in the U.S., Expensify leveraged Marqeta’s comprehensive platform and multinational card issuing capabilities to deliver its corporate card offering to businesses across Europe. Expensify’s European customers can now access the same spend management capabilities that have driven the rapid growth of its card offering in the U.S., enabling them to scale into new markets through a single integration.
Broadening Product Suite
•Marqeta has partnered with zerohash and BVNK to enable stablecoin spending across global card networks. Through these partnerships, Marqeta will offer customers a comprehensive solution for launching multinational and stablecoin-backed card solutions that link directly to existing card rails, making it possible to use stablecoins for purchases anywhere a card is accepted without additional integrations or regulatory burdens. These collaborations further support Marqeta's leadership at the intersection of crypto and fiat payments, strengthening its ability to deliver flexible solutions to both crypto-native and non-crypto companies.
•Marqeta is enhancing its Real-Time Decisioning (RTD) offering by partnering with leading acquirers and fraud-prevention providers including Adyen, Riskified, and Signifyd to incorporate richer merchant transaction data into its ML Risk Score and fraud detection process. RTD is Marqeta's risk decisioning product that evaluates card authorization transactions in real time. This additional data, which can include device, location, order, and account information, helps customers reduce fraudulent transactions and increase authorization rates.
Share Repurchase Authorization
•On August 3, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously authorized a repurchase program of up to $150 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The share

repurchase program has no set expiration date. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of purchases will be based on general business and market conditions, and other factors, including stockholder voting power considerations.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results:
Total Processing Volume increased by 32% year-over-year, from $91 billion in the second quarter of 2025 to $120 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Net Revenue of $176 million increased by $26 million, or 17%, year-over-year, primarily driven by higher volumes, partially offset by unfavorable mix due to faster growth of card programs where we provide processing services with minimal or no program management.
Gross Profit increased by 17% year-over-year to $122 million from $104 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in Gross Profit was largely driven by our TPV growth. Gross Margin was 69% in the second quarter of 2026.
Net Income of $8 million in the quarter, compared to a Net Loss of $1 million in the same period in the prior year, resulted in a year-over-year improvement of $8 million. Net income margin was 4% in the quarter, an increase of 4 percentage points versus last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $37 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $9 million year-over-year, or 31%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21% in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 2 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 Growth, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit, Net Income (Loss) Margin based on Gross Profit, and Adjusted 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, as applicable, to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; non-recurring litigation expense; 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 primarily consists of interest income from our short-term investments and cash deposits, and realized foreign currency gains and losses. 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. Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Gross Profit, and Net Income (Loss) Margin based on Gross Profit is calculated as Net Income (Loss) divided by Gross Profit. Adjusted EBITDA growth represents the year-over-year percentage change in Adjusted EBITDA. These measures are used by management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating efficiency.
We define Adjusted operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted, as applicable, to exclude depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; payroll tax related to share-based compensation; restructuring and other one-time costs; non-recurring litigation expense; and 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. We believe that Adjusted 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 Growth, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin based on Gross Profit, Net Income (Loss) Margin based on Gross Profit, and Adjusted 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) Restructuring and other one-time costs include the costs related to the CEO transition and one-time retention bonuses provided to other key employees. These bonuses have service requirements and are expensed over the requisite service period.
(2) Acquisition-related expenses, including transaction costs, integration costs, and cash and non-cash postcombination compensation expenses, are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. These expenses are specific to a discrete transaction and do not reflect our ongoing core operations or the recurring expenses required to sustain and operate our business.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Growth to the comparable GAAP measure for the third quarter and full year of 2026 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.
