Item 7.01 Regulation FD
PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“PayPal,” or the “Company”) continues to evolve its business through strategic partnerships, new products and acquisitions. Due to the diversification of PayPal’s products and services, we have updated our definitions of "active accounts" and "total payment volume (TPV)" to capture these and future changes expected in our business. The updated definitions and a description of the changes are presented below. Prior period metric results will be revised to conform to the new definitions beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018. These changes will not impact total revenue, operating income or earnings per share previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Active Accounts: An active account is an account registered directly with PayPal or a platform access partner that has completed a transaction through our Payments Platform, not including gateway-exclusive transactions, within the past 12 months.
The definition of active accounts has been expanded to include payments made or outstanding balances held on our co-branded credit card program. The definition has also been expanded to include accounts from our platform access partners. A platform access partner is a third party whose customers are provided access to PayPal’s Payments Platform through such third party’s login credentials. This expanded definition captures uniquely identifiable accounts for which PayPal receives economic benefits for completed transactions processed on behalf of customers who have established a relationship with PayPal.
Total Payment Volume: The value of payments, net of reversals, successfully completed through our Payments Platform or enabled by PayPal via a partner payment solution, not including gateway-exclusive transactions. The definition of TPV has been expanded to include PayPal’s diversification into new partner payment solutions such as certain tokenized transactions and contextual commerce which expand the Company’s opportunities for growth.
The revised definition will also capture TPV from our merchant debit card program. Due to its inclusion in TPV, revenues from these transactions will be reclassified from “other value added services revenue” to “transaction revenues” with no change to “total net revenues.”
These revisions will also impact previously reported results for other non-financial key performance metrics, including number of payment transactions and payment transactions per active account. The following tables present the impact from the revisions to the definitions of active accounts and TPV as previously reported:
