Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

This press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial metrics which differ from results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial metrics include: Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude finance and other expenses, net, taxes on income, share-based payment expense, depreciation and amortization, employee non-cash expense, one-time transaction costs and other expense (income).

eToro believes that these non-GAAP financial metrics may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. Additionally, eToro management regularly review certain key performance metrics and non-GAAP financial metrics to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends, prepare financial projections and make business decisions. However, non-GAAP financial metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in eToro’s industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial metrics differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial metrics as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for the non-GAAP financial metrics to the most directly comparable financial metric stated in accordance with GAAP.

Definitions of Certain Key Performance Indicators

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric that we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude finance and other expenses, net, taxes on income, share-based payment expense, depreciation and amortization, employee non-cash expense, one-time transaction costs and other expense (income).

Assets under administration: Assets under administration (‘AUA’) are defined as the aggregate of the following: (i) the total fair value of all equities, cryptoassets, commodities, currencies and options held by users in their accounts, (ii) cash held by users in their accounts, (iii) eToro Money balances, (iv) users’ cryptoassets held in the eToro digital wallet, (v) users’ assets held by 3rd parties partners for execution or custody services.

Funded Accounts: Funded Accounts are users who have completed KYC, AML and other onboarding processes, activated their account, deposited funds, executed at least one trade at any time and have a positive account balance (invested or uninvested). Funded Accounts represent the deepest level of our user acquisition funnel and are the users from whom we generate Total Commission.

Interest Earning Assets: Interest Earning Assets are the average monthly balances of users’ cash balances, corporate cash, users’ total leveraged positions and stakeable cryptoassets.

Net Contribution: Net Contribution reflects Total revenue and income, less the Cost of revenue from cryptoassets and Margin interest expense. We use Net Contribution to evaluate the net contributions of our users’ activity on our platform before considering the overhead costs associated with our operations.

Net Contribution consists of the following five components, each representing revenue or income divided across our products based on the distinct patterns upon which we monetize users’ activity on the platform. We evaluate the performance of our business and our success in both diversification and risk management across these five components:

• Net Trading Contribution (Equities, Commodities and Currencies) is equal to our Net trading income from equities, commodities and currencies.
• Net Trading Contribution (Cryptoassets) is equal to Revenue from cryptoassets plus Net trading income (loss) from cryptoasset derivatives less Cost of revenue from cryptoassets, excluding the net contributions from blockchain rewards and staking activity.
• Net Interest Contribution represents Net interest contribution from users plus Other interest income plus the net contributions of staking activity, less Margin interest expense.
• eToro Money comprises the vast majority of our Currency conversion and other income. It represents the income earned from our money management services, including currency conversions, withdrawals, interchange on our debit card, transfers of cryptoassets, and fees relating to our cryptoasset wallet services.
• Subscriptions and Other is the remainder of Currency conversion and other income not attributable to eToro Money plus the net contributions of blockchain rewards.

Net Income
Net income represents the company’s total earnings or profit for a given period, calculated as total revenue minus all expenses, including operating costs, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other income or expenses. It reflects the company’s overall profitability according to GAAP standards.
