Filing receipts
“The increase was primarily driven by additional interest expense on our 2033 Notes and 2034 Notes which were issued in February 2025 and August 2025, respectively, and which are discussed within Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.”
“The increase was primarily driven by higher transaction processing fees due to higher subscription revenue from the growth in the number of subscribers as well as a $24.7 million increase in infrastructure costs, attributable to DAU growth of 5% compared to the prior year.”
“Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was also driven by a $174.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, primarily due to the timing of collections, partially offset by $74.9 million in interest payments on our Notes.”
