The information in this report is being furnished and shall not be
deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and shall not be
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into any
filing by PayPal Holdings, Inc., or the company, under the

On April 26, 2017, PayPal Holdings, Inc. announced its financial
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the
company’s press release announcing its financial results and
certain other information is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this
report.

The attached press release includes the following financial
measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, or the SEC: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP
effective tax rate and free cash flow. For an explanation of the
foregoing non-GAAP measures, please see Non-GAAP Measures of
Financial Performance included in the attached press release. These
measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by
other companies. The presentation of this financial information,
which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting
rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation
of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance, Reconciliation of GAAP
Operating Margin to Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Reconciliation of
GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income, GAAP Diluted EPS to
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS and GAAP Effective Tax Rate to Non-GAAP
Effective Tax Rate, Reconciliation of GAAP Net Revenues by Type to
Non-GAAP Pro Forma Net Revenues by Type, and GAAP Net Revenues by
Geography to Non-GAAP Pro Forma Net Revenues by Geography, and
Reconciliation of Operating Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow, included
in the attached press release. In addition, the company has
included certain pro forma adjustments in its presentation of
certain historical revenue measures in the attached press release
(collectively referred to as non-GAAP pro forma measures). These
adjustments reflect items that are factually supportable, directly
attributable to the separation of the company from eBay Inc. on
July 17, 2015, and expected to have a continuing impact on the
companys results of operations. The company has included these pro
forma adjustments because management believes that they help to
facilitate comparisons of the companys operating results between
periods. In discussing year-over-year comparisons, the company has
chosen to present non-GAAP pro forma measures because it believes
that these measures provide investors a consistent basis for
reviewing the companys performance across different periods.

The attached press release also contains forward-looking statements
relating to, among other things, the future results of operations,
financial condition, expectations and plans of the company that
reflect PayPal’s current projections and forecasts. A more
thorough discussion of certain factors that could adversely affect
