1.
Nature of Business

Shopify Inc. (“Shopify” or “the Company”) was incorporated as a Canadian corporation on September 28, 2004. The Company’s mission is to make commerce better for everyone. The Company provides the leading cloud-based, multi-channel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Using a single interface, the Company’s merchants can design, set up and manage their business across multiple sales channels, including web and mobile storefronts, social media storefronts and physical retail locations. The Company’s platform provides merchants with a single view of their business and customers across all of their sales channels and enables them to manage products and inventory, process orders and payments, ship orders, build customer relationships and leverage analytics and reporting. The Company’s platform is engineered to enterprise-level standards and functionality while being designed for simplicity.

The Company’s headquarters and principal place of business are in Ottawa, Canada.

Public Offerings

In May 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering, or IPO, in which it issued and sold 8,855,000 Class A subordinate voting shares at a public offering price of $17.00 per share (including the 1,155,000 Class A subordinate voting shares purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option). The Company received net proceeds of $136,251 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10,537 and other offering expenses of $3,747. Immediately prior to consummation of the IPO, all of the then-outstanding common shares were redesignated as an aggregate of 39,780,952 Class B multiple voting shares, and upon consummation of the IPO, all of the then-outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 27,159,277 Class B multiple voting shares.

In August 2016, the Company completed its follow-on public offering, in which it issued and sold 8,625,000 Class A subordinate voting shares at a public offering price of $38.25 per share, including the 1,125,000 Class A subordinate voting shares purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, and 2,500,000 Class A subordinate voting shares which were sold by selling shareholders. The Company received net proceeds of $224,423 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $8,786 and other offering expenses of $1,073.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries: Shopify Payments (Canada) Inc., incorporated in Canada; Shopify International Limited, incorporated in Ireland; Shopify (Australia) Pty Ltd., incorporated in Australia; Shopify Capital Inc., incorporated in the state of Virginia in the United States; and the following United States subsidiaries each incorporated in Delaware: Shopify (USA) Inc., formerly Kit CRM Inc., Shopify Payments (USA) Inc., Shopify Data Processing (USA) Inc. and Shopify Holdings (USA) Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in United States dollars (USD) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited

condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 was derived from the audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

3.
Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Merchant Cash Advances

The Company offers a Merchant Cash Advance ("MCA") program to eligible merchants. The Company applies underwriting criteria prior to purchasing the eligible merchant's future receivables to help ensure collectibility. Under the MCA program, the Company purchases a designated amount of future receivables at a discount. The purchase price is paid to the merchant at the time the MCA is entered into, and the merchant remits a fixed percentage of their daily sales until the outstanding balance has been remitted.  As cash remittances are collected by the Company, a portion is recognized ratably as a reduction to the merchants receivable balance, and a portion is recognized ratably as merchant solutions revenue.

Business Combinations

The Company follows the acquisition method to account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.   The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of a business acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Separately recognized transactions associated with business combinations are expensed subsequent to the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items that are subject to estimation and assumptions include: estimates related to contingencies and refundable tax credits; provision for uncollectible receivables related to Merchant Cash Advances; chargebacks on Shopify Payments transactions that are unrecoverable from merchants; recoverability of deferred tax assets; fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; capitalization of software development costs; estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; estimates relating to the recoverability of lease inducements; and assumptions used when employing the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of shares and stock-based awards. Actual results may differ from the estimates made by management.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, merchant cash advances, and foreign exchange forward contracts subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Management mitigates this risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by making deposits and entering into foreign exchange forward contracts only with large Canadian and United States banks and financial institutions that are considered to be highly credit worthy. Management mitigates the risks associated with marketable securities by complying with its investment policy, which stipulates minimum rating requirements,

(unaudited)
Expressed in US $000's except share and per share amounts


maximum investment exposures and maximum maturities. Due to the Company’s diversified merchant base, there is no particular concentration of credit risk related to the Company’s trade receivables. Trade and other receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure timely collection of amounts. The Company has mitigated some of the risks associated with merchant cash advances by entering into an agreement with Export Development Canada to insure merchant cash advances offered by Shopify Capital. There are no receivables from individual merchants accounting for 10% or more of revenues or receivables.

Interest Rate Risk

Certain of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities earn interest. The Company’s trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities do not bear interest. The Company is not exposed to material interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk, Derivatives and Hedging

The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations on the revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Company may use foreign exchange derivative products to manage the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. By their nature, derivative financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk related to non-performance by counter parties.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company's foreign exchange forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges consisting of foreign currency forecasted revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses. By their nature, derivative financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of non-performance by counter parties. The Company may hold foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of future foreign exchange rate volatility related to future Canadian dollar denominated costs and current and future obligations.

The Company's foreign currency forward contracts generally have maturities of twelve months or less. The critical terms match method is used when the key terms of the hedging instrument and that of the hedged item are aligned; therefore, the changes in fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI").The effective portion of the gain or loss on each forward contract is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings to either revenue, cost of revenue, or operating expense in the same period, or periods, during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gains or losses, if any, is recorded immediately in other income (expense), net.

For hedges that do not qualify for the critical terms match method of accounting, a formal assessment is performed to verify that derivatives used in hedging transactions continue to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Hedge accounting is discontinued if a derivative ceases to be highly effective, matures, is terminated or sold, if a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, or if the Company removes the derivative's hedge designation. For discontinued cash flow hedges, the accumulated gain or loss on the derivative remains in AOCI and is reclassified into earnings in the period in which the previously hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings or is no longer probable of occurring.

In addition, the Company has a master netting agreement with each of the Company's counterparties, which permits net settlement of multiple, separate derivative contracts with a single payment. The Company has elected to present its derivative instruments on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Year

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and removes certain related disclosure requirements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard eliminated the requirement to disclose investments measured at Net Asset Value per Share in the fair value hierarchy table.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-9 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The new accounting standards update requires an entity to apply a five step model to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, as well as a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing comprehensive information about the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, updating the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. This update clarifies that an entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The update also includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, which provides clarification on how to assess collectibility, present sales taxes, treat non-cash consideration, and account for completed and modified contracts at the time of transition. ASU 2016-12 also clarifies that an entity retrospectively applying the guidance in Topic 606 is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change in the period of adoption. All accounting standard updates become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted starting January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of these standards will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases", which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. This standard also requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-09 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", which simplifies the accounting for stock based compensation, including forfeitures and the classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

The acquired intangible, the Kit App, which was valued at $1,071 using a discounted cash flows methodology, is being amortized over 2 years. Goodwill from the Kit acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies as the Company supports the growing trend towards conversational commerce, supporting the continued growth of gross merchants’ volume by enhancing the Company’s merchants marketing capabilities, and the acquisition of an assembled workforce. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
