Total revenues exhibit a consistent upward trajectory and a pronounced seasonal pattern, typically peaking in the third quarter of each year. From March 2021 to June 2026, total revenues increased from 1,141 million USD to 7,352 million USD. This growth is primarily driven by a substantial expansion in merchant revenues, which rose from 373 million USD in March 2021 to 5,127 million USD by June 2026, reflecting a strategic shift or growth in the merchant model.

Revenue Stream Composition
Merchant revenues have become the dominant revenue driver, demonstrating the most aggressive growth rate across the observed period. Agency revenues also grew significantly from early 2021 levels but showed more volatility and a slower growth pace in later years compared to the merchant segment. Advertising and other revenues remained the smallest component, showing steady but modest incremental growth, moving from 51 million USD in March 2021 to 322 million USD in June 2026.
Operating Expense Dynamics
Marketing expenses constitute the largest operating cost and scale closely with revenue, peaking every September. These expenses grew from 461 million USD in March 2021 to 2,371 million USD in June 2026. Personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, followed a steady upward trend, increasing from 552 million USD in March 2021 to 900 million USD in June 2026. General and administrative expenses showed significant volatility, including a notable spike to 576 million USD in December 2023, before stabilizing.
Profitability and Margin Trends
Operating income has generally trended upward, despite quarterly fluctuations. After an initial loss in March 2021, operating income reached a peak of 3,483 million USD in September 2025. The operating margin is heavily influenced by the Q3 seasonal surge in revenue, which more than offsets the corresponding increase in marketing spend. Net income follows a similar seasonal pattern, with significant peaks in the third quarters of each year, such as 2,511 million USD in September 2023 and 2,748 million USD in September 2025.
Non-Operating and Extraordinary Items
Interest expenses have increased over the period, rising from 98 million USD in March 2021 to 300 million USD in June 2026. This was partially mitigated starting in March 2023 by the introduction of consistent interest and dividend income, averaging approximately 200-300 million USD per quarter. A significant one-time impairment charge of 457 million USD was recorded in September 2025, and recurring transformation costs began appearing in December 2024, ranging between 25 million and 105 million USD per quarter.

Overall, the financial profile is characterized by strong top-line growth and high seasonality. The increasing reliance on merchant revenues and the scaling of marketing expenditures suggest a growth-oriented strategy, while the management of personnel and IT costs remains relatively controlled relative to the scale of revenue expansion.
