Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $3,089M+19% YoY
Driven by higher GMV and improved monetization across focus categories and C2C.
Increased adoption and attribution changes enhanced ability to convert first-party ads.
Largest Expense Items
$89M increase in marketing program costs and $27M unfavorable FX impact.
Increase primarily due to employee-related costs.
$104M from restructuring costs and executive bonuses, $35M from employee-related costs.
$17M from new initiatives, $15M from higher volume, $11M from unfavorable fraud and recovery rates.
Margins: Operating margin declined to 19.8% from 23.6% YoY, primarily driven by $104M restructuring charges, increased marketing investments, and higher transaction losses, partially offset by gross margin expansion from improved take rate and advertising leverage.
Watch Items from the Filing
- Pending $1.2B acquisition of Depop (consumer-to-consumer fashion marketplace) expected to close Q3 2026; integration execution and synergy realization risks.
- Transaction losses surged 70% YoY to $138M (4.5% of revenue); elevated fraud and recovery rate volatility indicates increased buyer/seller protection cost exposure.
- International revenues declined to 44% of total (from 48% YoY), reflecting continued challenging macroeconomic conditions and currency headwinds across certain markets.

AI Insight: EBAY Financial Trends
Revenue accelerated 20% year-over-year to $3,089M in Q1 2026, but operating margin compressed as net income fell sequentially and equity eroded steadily.
• Revenue grew from $2,572M in Q2 2024 to $3,089M in Q1 2026, a ~20% cumulative increase over seven quarters.
• Operating margin contracted from 23.7% in Q1 2025 to 19.8% in Q1 2026, despite rising absolute revenue.
• Total debt declined from $9,275M in Q2 2024 to $7,494M in Q1 2026, reducing leverage meaningfully.
• Equity has fallen every quarter from $5,509M in Q2 2024 to $4,412M in Q1 2026, a $1,097M erosion.
⚠ Operating income has not recovered to Q3 2024's $595M level despite revenues $244M higher — cost pressure warrants monitoring.
⚠ Operating cash flow rebounded sharply to $969M in Q1 2026 after $583M in Q4 2025 — sustainability is key.
⚠ Persistently declining equity alongside share buybacks raises book-value support concerns if earnings soften.
AI Insight: EBAY Ratio Trends
ROIC quietly reached a multi-quarter high of 20.5% in Q1 2026, even as operating margin slipped to 19.8% — capital efficiency is outpacing profitability recovery.
• ROIC climbed from 14.8% in Q2 2024 to 20.5% in Q1 2026, the highest reading in the dataset.
• Operating margin compressed from 23.8% in Q1 2025 to 19.8% in Q1 2026, a 400bp year-over-year decline.
• D/E ratio has oscillated between 1.45 and 1.70 across all periods, showing no sustained deleveraging trend.
• Net profit margin fell from 19.5% in Q1 2025 to 16.6% in Q1 2026, continuing a Q2 2025 reset.
⚠ Operating margin dropped to 17.7% in Q2 2025 — the cycle trough — watch whether Q2 2026 repeats this seasonal weakness.
⚠ D/E ticked back up to 1.70 in Q1 2026, reversing the low of 1.45 reached in Q1 2025.
⚠ ROIC at 20.5% in Q1 2026 is a positive inflection; sustaining above 20% would confirm a structural improvement.
