This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on
management’s perception of historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management believes are appropriate in
the circumstances. Although we believe that the plans, intentions, expectations, assumptions and strategies reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-
looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions, investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance
on these statements since actual results may vary from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our results. These risks are described in further detail in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our filings with regulatory agencies. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions
prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. References to long-term trends in our
model are forward-looking and made as of the current date. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these long- term
trends will be achieved and we undertake no duty to update its long-term trends.
We believe that the case studies presented in this presentation provide a representative sample of how our merchants have been able to use various features of our
platform to grow their respective businesses. References in this presentation to increased visits, growth and sales following implementation of our platform do not
necessarily mean that our platform was the only factor contributing to such increases.
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude certain items. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other
companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Strong Consistent MRR Growth
Monthly Recurring Revenue, or MRR, is calculated at the end of each period by multiplying the number of merchants who have subscription plans with us at the period end
date by the average monthly subscription plan fee revenue in effect on the last day of that period, assuming they maintain their subscription plans the following month.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), Shopify uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information in order to assist investors in understanding its financial and
operating performance.
Adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation
expenses and related payroll taxes as well as sales and use tax.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
Shopify believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial
performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision
making.Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized measures for financial statement presentation under US GAAP and do not have standardized meanings,
and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other public companies. Such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement
to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the financial tables below for a reconciliation
of the non-GAAP measures.
