MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-07-28
The increase in net revenues was driven primarily by growth in total payment volume (“TPV”) of 10% and favorable impact from hedging activities.

Our operating margin declined, reflecting the unfavorable impact of a higher transaction expense growth rate, partially offset by the decline in transaction and credit losses.
The decrease in net income was due to a decrease in operating income and a decrease in other income (expense), net, which was primarily attributable to net losses and impairments on strategic investments in the current period compared to net gains in the prior period, partially offset by a decrease …

Risk factors
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-07-28
Cyberattacks and security vulnerabilities could result in serious harm to our reputation, business, and financial condition.
Techniques used to attempt to obtain unauthorized or illegal access to systems and information (including customers’ personal data), disable or degrade service, exploit vulnerabilities, or sabotage systems are continuously evolving. These attempts may not be recognized or detected until after they h…
We believe that hostile actors, who may comprise individuals, coordinated groups, sophisticated organizations, or nation-state supported entities, may target PayPal due to our name, brand recognition, types of data (including sensitive payments- and identity-related data) that customers provide to u…
Any cybersecurity incidents, including cyberattacks or data security breaches affecting the IT or infrastructure of our customers, partners, or vendors (including data center and cloud computing providers) or of companies we acquire, could have similar negative effects.
We have experienced, and may experience in the future, breaches involving customer information for which we have notified, and may notify, regulators, customers and other third parties. These or other cybersecurity breaches and other exploited security vulnerabilities have subjected us and could fur…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
