Over the last two earnings reports, PYPL has taken down forward guidance with many investors wondering if the updated forward guidance is finally achievable (investorconfidencelow).Onits|ast earnings report, PYPL materially cutits outlook for net new active accounts (NNAs) without changing the forward outlook of 23-35 which leads to the question if share gains, engagement and increasing average revenue per user (ARPU} can make up the shortfall in accounts. We est. PYPL had ~32.4% share of the global eComm market in FY21 (ex. AMZN & China) and our market share analysis suggests the company has continued togain share with most, of the guidance revision in FY22 likely being due to difficulty modeling the significant pull-forward experienced through the pandemic. Further, engagement ‘and ARPU should continue to benefit from thenew super app and suite of products! services being rolled out as well as the purging of unprofitable accounts. We analyze in this report how much anticipated share gain, engagement growth (ex. Bay) and ARPU expansion will be needed to reach future guidance and regain investor confidence in the PYPL story. The reality is PYPL isnow a “show me" stock, Buy, Strong market share gains Based on our detailed market share analysis, we est. PYPL gained ~1.9ppts of Global eComm market share in 2019 to ~21.2% before the pandemic which accelerated ~7.6ppts to ~28.9% in 2020 and ~3,5ppts to 32.4% in 2021. Although ‘we expect share gains to slow, we do not see any signs that PYPL is losing market share. Based on eMarketer data, including travel and events (T&E) but excl. AMZN ‘and China, the market grew ~24% Y/Y in FY21 and should grow ~10% over thenext few years which means PYPL would need to gain ~3.4ppts of share to ~35.7% in FY22 and ~4.7pptsin FY23 to ~40.4% tohit the company's top-line guidance. Ifthe market rate of eComm growth is higher than anticipated, PYPL would need less. share gains and vice-versa. As a result, the market rate of growth will be important to monitor going forward as well as PYPL’s ability to continue to capture share at ‘a more gradual pace which looks reasonable, in our view. Driving engagement Although net adds are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in FY23 and beyond, PYPL expects engagement to increase from current levels going forward. ‘Assuming the company's lower net adds forecast, we estimate PYPL will need to Date 9 February 2022 Company Update Price at Feb 2022 (USD) r2298 Price target 200.00 S2-meck ange 853 Valuation & Risks Bryan Keane Research Analyst +41-415-617-4246 Korey Marcello Research Analyst ++1-904-527-6235 Nate Svensson, CFA esearch Associate ++1-801-787-2208 Hersh Shinte Research Associate Deutsche Bank Securities inc.

MCI (P} 051/04/2021. 9 February 2022 Payments, Processors, & IT Services PayPal drive ~11%V/Y growth in engagementin FY22and ~13% Y/Y in FY23 through FY25 which compares to ~10% IY growth in FY21. However, eBay has beena significant drag to engagement as engagement excluding eBay grew ~20% YIY in 2021 and ~18% YIY in 3021 and 4021. As eBay revenue headwinds stabilize through FY22, we est. PYPL would only need to achieve engagement growth excluding eBay of 16% YIY in FY22 and ~15% YIY in FY23 moderating to ~13% Y/Y through FY25 as nets adds gradually rise to more typical annual levels (chum should drop dramatically in '23-25). With a more active user base expected and multiple products and services now available in the app and being rolled out, we believe ‘engagement can stay robust at elevated levels ex eBay. Increased monetization and ARPU We est. ARPU needs to grow ~9% YIY in FY22 and ~13% YIY in FY23 in order for PYPL to hitits guidance, compared to ~2% YIY growth in FY21 or when excluding ‘eBay, we est. PYPL would need ~13% Y/Y and ~14% YIY growth in FY22 and FY23, respectively, up from ~10% Y/Y growth in FY21.. Beyond the lower drag from eBay, ARPU should benefit from the super app where users have double the ARPU and ~25%4less churn. Further, PYPLis focusing on the most profitable users asitcleans up non-profitable and illegitimate accounts and pulls back from incentive-drive ‘campaigns with low ROIs which should further boost ARPU over time. We also ‘expect better monetization of services such as Venmo to contribute to expanding ARPU and look forward to PYPL adding additional monetization opportunities toits base like investing. PYPL has the opportunity to cross-sell users with its expanding set of interconnected services but in our view, could also benefit from acquiring ‘complementary assets that provide additional cross-sell opportunity to expand ARPU, tect pRSEDIREMSayMtnaigSuneer Sear Sen 9 February 2022 Payments, Processors, & IT Services PayPal Continued share gains key component of investment thesis Looking at the historical market share trends for PYPL, we estimate PYPL captured ~32.4% of the total global eComm marketin 2021 (excluding China, AMZN as well ‘as P2P volumes), up from an estimated ~28.9% in 2020. Based on our overall rate ‘of market growth assumptions, we estimate PYPL will need to drive additional global market share gain by ~3.4ppts to ~35.7% in FY22 to meet guidance. Further, ‘we estimate PYPL will need to further expand market share by ~4.7ppts, ~5.3ppts, and ~6.1ppts in FY23-FY25 in orderto reach the company’s mid-term guidance. It is important to note, overall market growth rate assumptions used in this analysis, may prove to be conservative given the secular tailwinds that have propelled ‘eComm since the start of the pandemic. If the overall eComm market grows faster than expected, PYPL will need to see less market share expansion in order to meet numbers. Importantly, our primary share gain analysis includes both core physical ‘goods and travel/events eComm market (excl. AMZN and China), but we have also looked atan additional scenario that excludes travel/events and focuses onlyon the physical goods eComm market (explained in greater detail below), ‘While we believe PYPL is stil gaining share in core checkout, both PYPL and the ‘eComm market are getting larger and itis becoming incrementally more difficult to add enough TPV each year to maintain the same growth rates due to the law of large numbers. In order for PYPL to reach its guidance the company will need tocontinue taking share at the physical POS, accelerating adoption of PYPL checkout solutions from strong net new adds and engagement, and further driving engagement through the company's superapp, among other things. Beyond Comm, we expect PYPLwillbe able todrive growth by going after the physical in-store market through QR codes and selling additional value-added products and services through its super app such as instant deposits, bill pay, and investing. Overall, PYPL has strong penetration in the core physical goods and travel/ticketing Comm market which has accelerated throughout the course of the pandemic and we see potential for ‘growth to remain elevated due to continued share gains through company's full suite of solutions and strategy to move up the sales funnel. In addition, we see a large opportunity that extends beyond the physical goods and traveVevents ‘Comm market where PYPL currently has low penetration. Global Market Share Analysis ‘We estimate that the total global eComm market (incl. physical goods and travel/ ‘events; excl. China and AMZN) represented ~$2.5tm in 2021 and will grow to ~ $2.7 in 2022 and ~$3.6trn by 2025. Our analysis includes travel/events which have weighed on growth since the start of the pandemic, but which are beginning ‘to show signs of recovery. Looking only at the eComm physical goods market (excl China and AMZN), we expect growth of ~9% Y/Y in 2022, representing a notable deceleration from exceptional growth of ~24% Y/Y and ~13% YY in 2020 and 2021, respectively. For the total market, we see growth continuing to abate and returning closer to historical growth levels of ~10%YIY, ~9% YIY. and ~9% Y/Y in 2023-2025, respectively, due to harder comps that should partially offset by improving travel! ‘events trends, ‘Pinuatincda Wisusle Waumistian tows.

Further, we estimate that PYPL will gain ~3.4% of share in the total Comm market and ~4.0% of share in the physical goods eComm market, reaching market shares of ~35.7% and ~46.4%, respectively. As mentioned above, our analysis suggests PYPL must focus on driving further share gains in FY23-FY25 in order to hit our estimates and remain in-line with mid-term guidance.

Assuming the company’s lower net adds forecast, we estimate PYPL will need to drive ~11% Y/Y growth in engagement in FY22 and ~13% YIY in FY23 through FY25 which compares to ~10% YIY growth in FY21. We believe itis important to note that eBay has been a significant drag to engagement as engagement excluding eBay grew ~20% YIV in 2021 and ~18% YIY in 3021 and 4021. AseBay revenue headwinds stabilize through FY22, west. PYPL wouldonly need to achiove engagement growth excluding eBay of ~16% Y/Y in FY22 and ~15% IV in FY23 moderating to ~13% IY through FY25 as nets adds gradually rise ‘to more typical annual levels (churn should drop dramatically in ‘23-25). fect ee Ly 9 February 2022 Payments, Processors, & IT Services PayPal Figure 5: PYPL Engagement Trends SEs apy aba ash be ae ae be ae aut ae fe Ge Figure 6: Trends in Transactions Per Active Account ‘Transactions/Active Account SPS IFIP SEPP IIPPSISS New net add guidance places even more emphasis on engagement Since the beginning of 2020, PYPL has added ~121m net active customers ‘equating to ~15m per quarter {inclusive of ~4.5m illegitimate accounts that were ‘excluded in 4021). This represents impressive growth for the company and a step ‘change from PYPL’s pre-pandemictrajectory, Over the past year, PYPL has pursued a strategy to retain customers most likely to churn while leaning into customer acquisition via incentives which have materially driven costs up. However, PYPL recently took down its mid-term outlook for active accounts of ~750m by FY25 while also setting a lowerbar for FY22at ~15-20mnetadds. Thisessentially equates tonew guidance of ~550m over the same period (~30-40m annually equates to ~6 years of net adds lost). This net account guidance is about half of the company's prior guidance set on its Feb 2021 analyst day through 2025 with PYPL now turning its focus to sustainably increasing engagement and raising ARPU. Consequently, following 49 million in net adds in 2021, we are expecting ~18 million in FY22 (vs. PYPL guidance of ~15-20 million), before rising to ~30 million in FY23 and ~34 million in FY24-25, within PYPL's guidance of ~30-40 million per year thereafter. ‘Pinuatincda Wisusle Waumistian tows. Pane? 9 February 2022 Payments, Processors, & IT Services PayPal This is expected to result in growth in transactions per active account to slightly accelerate going forward. Figure 7: PYPL quarterly net new adds Higher engagement ultimately drives higher RPU We expect PYPL's shift to emphasize engagement to result in higher average revenue per user (ARPU) compared to the prior two years. Given PYPL's revenue guidance of ~15-17%, We est. ARPU needs to grow ~9% YIY in FY22 and ~13% Y/Y in FY23 in order for PYPL to hitits guidance, compared to ~2% YIY growth in FY21 Further, when excluding eBay, we est. PYPL would need ~13% YIY and ~14% YY ‘growth in FY22 and FY23, respectively, up from ~10% YIY growth in FY21. As the drag from eBay dissipates, there are additional benefits from wide acceptance for PYPL's digital wallet alongside higher engagement on the Super App, with Super ‘App users having double the ARPU of the average user with ~25% lower churn, Plus, as PYPL focuses on more profitable users and cleans up illegitimate accounts, this should resuitin furtherimprovementin engagementand ARPU. We alsoexpect better monetization of services such as Venmo along with the company's new to contribute to expanding ARPU and look forward to PYPL adding additional ‘monetization opportunities to its base like investing.

In addition, based on our estimates, PYPL may Pane 10 pRSEDIREMSayMtnaigSuneer Sear Sen 9 February 2022 Payments, Processors, & IT Services PayPal need to deliver up to ~30-40bps each year from 2023 through 2025 to deliver on its EPS mid term guidance of ~22%. This would imply non-transaction related ‘operating expenses growing mid-to-high single digits in 2022 and low-to-mid- teens thereafter through 2025. If PYPLis able to deliver on its outlook for TPV and revenue growth, we feel more comfortable on the margin side of the equation as we continue to see significant opportunity to drive sustainable operating leverage across the business. In addition, PYPL has significant FCF generation and although astrategic deal seams unlikely, we expect the company to potentially pursue more share repurchases and continued tuck-in acquisitions. ‘Pinuatincda Wisusle Waumistian tows.

The method for computing individual E,S,G and composite ESG scores set forth herein is a novel method developed by the Research department within Deutsche Bank AG, computed using a systematic approach without human intervention, Different data providers, market sectors and geographies approach ESG analysis and incorporate the findings in a variety of ‘ways. As such, the ESG scores referred to herein may differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other ESG data providers in the market and may also differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other divisions within the Deutsche Bank Group. Such ESG scores also differ from other ratings and rankings that have historically been applied in research reports published by Deutsche Bank AG. Further, such ESG scores do not represent a formal or official view of Deutsche Bank AG. It should be noted that the decision to incorporate ESG factors into any investment strategy may inhibit ‘he ability to participate in certain investment opportunities that otherwise would be consistent with yourinvestment objective and other principal investment strategies. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable investments may be lower or higher than portfolios where ESG factors, exclusions, or other sustainability issues are not considered, and the investment opportunities available to such portfolios may differ. Companies may not necessarily meet high performance standards on all aspects of ESG or sustainable investing issues; there is also no guarantee that any company will meet ‘expectations in connection with corporate responsibility, sustainability, and/or impact performance.
