Etsy, Inc. is a public reporting company classified under Services-Business Services, NEC. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared from the Company's accounting records and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented; interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These notes relate to the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026.
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $631.3 million, compared with $612.2 million for the prior-year period, an increase of 3.1%. Marketplace revenue was $432.8 million, or 68.6% of total revenue, and services revenue was $198.5 million, or 31.4% of total revenue, and revenue increased primarily driven by an increase in services revenue and, to a lesser extent, an increase in marketplace revenue. Services revenue increased primarily due to a $14.4 million increase in advertising revenue, primarily driven by an increase in average price per click on Etsy Ads. Deferred revenue was $30.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared with $22.3 million at the prior period end.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $69.7 million, and weighted-average basic shares outstanding were 96,235,000, resulting in basic earnings per share of $0.72.

This included debt of $2,983.9 million and noncurrent finance lease liabilities of $91.9 million, with no current finance lease liabilities and no current or noncurrent operating lease liabilities outstanding. Debt increased 30.3% from $2,289.1 million at the prior period end, current finance lease liabilities decreased from $6.2 million to zero, and noncurrent finance lease liabilities were unchanged at $91.9 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we generated revenue of $631.3 million, an increase of 3.1% compared to $612.2 million in the comparable prior-year period. Revenue growth reflected trends in our marketplaces, including gross merchandise sales ("GMS") for Depop of $348.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from $233.5 million in the prior-year period; our revenue take rate is revenue divided by GMS. GMS is the dollar value of items sold in our marketplaces, excluding shipping fees and net of refunds, within the applicable period, and does not represent revenue earned by us. Net income for the period was $69.7 million, or $0.72 basic earnings per share based on weighted-average basic shares outstanding of 96,235,000.
Cost of revenue increased 4.7% to $175.7 million from $167.8 million in the prior-year period, growing modestly faster than revenue. Selling and marketing expense increased 1.4% to $174.2 million from $171.9 million, while research and development expense decreased 1.7% to $99.1 million from $100.8 million. General and administrative expense decreased 15.5% to $62.5 million from $73.9 million, and other operating expenses of $101.7 million recognized in the prior-year period did not recur in the current period. Other nonoperating items produced net income of $9.4 million in the current period, compared to a net expense of $10.7 million in the prior-year period. Income tax expense increased 20.0% to $24.6 million from $20.5 million, and the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, increased 105.7% to $35.0 million from $17.0 million in the prior-year period.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,214.4 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of 96.5% from $617.9 million, and restricted cash and equivalents increased to $89.1 million from $31.3 million. Short-term investments were $211.4 million, down 3.3% from $218.5 million, and long-term investments increased 16.3% to $150.6 million from $129.5 million. Outstanding debt increased 30.3% to $2,983.9 million from $2,289.1 million, and noncurrent finance lease liabilities were unchanged at $91.9 million while current finance lease liabilities of $6.2 million in the prior period were reduced to zero. At March 31, 2026, we reported assets held for sale of $393.8 million and liabilities held for sale of $51.9 million, compared to none in the prior period, and intangible assets, net, decreased 96.8% to $13.2 million from $413.9 million. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and we do not have material foreign currency or commodity price exposure. Management believes that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. As of March 31, 2026, we held cash and cash equivalents of $1,214.4 million, compared to $617.9 million as of the prior period, and short-term investments of $211.4 million, compared to $218.5 million as of the prior period. We also held long-term investments of $150.6 million and restricted cash and equivalents of $89.1 million as of March 31, 2026. Because these balances are sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, fluctuations in interest rates may affect the amount of interest income we earn and the fair value of our investment portfolio. [COMPLETE: description of investment policy, portfolio composition, and estimated impact of a hypothetical change in interest rates on the investment portfolio]
In addition, we had total debt of $2,983.9 million outstanding as of March 31, 2026, compared to $2,289.1 million as of the prior period. [COMPLETE: description of whether outstanding debt bears fixed or variable interest rates and the related effect of interest rate changes on interest expense and the fair value of the debt]
We do not have material foreign currency or commodity price exposure. While we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time, we do not currently believe any pending matter is material to our financial statements. There have been no other material changes in our market risk exposures during the period. [COMPLETE: confirmation of any material changes in market risk from the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K]
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-14(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The conclusions expressed in this section remain subject to review and formal adoption by management prior to filing.
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, management does not believe that any pending matter is material to our financial statements.
We evaluate developments in our legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and, where applicable, record accruals for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we do not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of any proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Our quarterly operating results, as well as our key metrics, have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control, including inflation, interest rates, recessionary factors, foreign exchange rate volatility, tariffs and other trade barriers, disruptions to the banking industry, changing consumer shopping preferences, continued pressure on consumer discretionary product spending, weather, domestic and global geopolitical volatility or uncertainties, various types of cultural events, public health crises, supply-chain disruptions, an increasingly competitive retail environment, and employment levels, among other factors, which we refer to collectively as Macro Conditions. Our results may also fluctuate due to fluctuations in our GMS or revenue, including as a result of Macro Conditions, the seasonality of market transactions, and our sellers' use of services; uncertainty regarding overall levels of consumer spending and e-commerce generally; our success in attracting and retaining sellers and buyers; our ability to convert marketplace visits into sales for our sellers; and our ability to manage our operating expenses and our Adjusted EBITDA margin. For the period ended March 31, 2026, we reported revenue of $631.3 million and net income of $69.7 million, and any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect our results in future periods.
There is considerable uncertainty regarding macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical conflicts and the evolving tariff landscape, how recent changes to de minimis exemptions may play out, and the impact any of the foregoing might have on consumer demand and discretionary wallet share. Any circumstances that reduce consumer demand or hinder our sellers' cross-border trade may adversely affect our business. These conditions are difficult to predict, and their duration and severity could materially affect our future performance.
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and changes in prevailing interest rates could affect the value of, or income generated by, these balances. We do not have material foreign currency or commodity price exposure. In addition, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. While management does not currently believe any pending matter is material to the financial statements, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
