increased 19% year over year. Overall gross margin was 41%,

- An increasing portion of GTV is being processed through the

$8.8 billion in the quarter from
$5.9 billion in the same period last

initiative.

Customer Locations and GTV attributable to the Ecwid eCommerce

Capital Markets Day
In light of the Company's ongoing strategic review, Lightspeed
will postpone its Capital Markets Day previously scheduled for
November 20. The Company notes that
there can be no assurances given, at this time, as to the outcome
of its strategic review and that no further announcements or
comments in respect of this matter will be made except as required
under our regulatory obligations.
Financial Outlook6
The following outlook supersedes all prior statements made by
the Company and is based on current expectations.
Lightspeed's year-to-date results have been encouraging with
both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA coming in ahead of the Company's
outlook. As a result, the Company is increasing its Adjusted
EBITDA1 outlook for the year from at least $45 million to at least $50 million.
For the third quarter, Lightspeed expects subscription revenue
growth rates to improve over the levels seen in the second quarter
as the Company expands outbound teams, the majority of account
managers return to upselling software, and targeted price increases
take effect. In addition, the Company expects to see strong growth
rates in transaction-based revenue as more customers adopt its
payments solutions.

Financial Outlook Assumptions
When calculating the Adjusted EBITDA included in our financial
outlook for the quarter ending December 31,
2024 and full year ending March 31,
2025, we considered IFRS measures including revenues, direct
cost of revenues, and operating expenses. Our financial outlook is
based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions related to
inflation, changes in interest rates, consumer spending, foreign
exchange rates and other macroeconomic conditions; that the
jurisdictions in which Lightspeed has significant operations do not
impose strict measures like those put in place in response to
pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic; requests for subscription
pauses and churn rates owing to business failures remain in line
with planned levels; our Customer Location count remaining in line
with our planned levels (particularly in higher GTV cohorts);
quarterly subscription revenue growth gradually ramping up
throughout the year to ~10% growth; revenue streams resulting from
certain partner referrals remaining in line with our expectations
(particularly in light of our decision to unify our POS and
payments solutions, which payments solutions have in the past and
may in the future, in some instances, be perceived by certain
referral partners to be competing with their own solutions);
customers adopting our payments solutions having an average GTV at
our planned levels; continued uptake of our payments solutions in
line with our expectations in connection with our ongoing efforts
to sell our POS and payments solutions as one unified platform;
gross margins reflecting a trend towards more transaction-based
revenue in our revenue mix; our ability to price our payments
solutions in line with our expectations and to achieve suitable
margins and to execute on more optimized pricing structures; our
ability to manage default risks of our merchant cash advances in
line with our expectations; seasonal trends of our key verticals
being in line with our expectations and the resulting impact on our
GTV and transaction-based revenues; continued success in module
adoption expansion throughout our customer base; our ability to
selectively pursue strategic opportunities and derive the benefits
we expect from the acquisitions we have completed including
expected synergies resulting from the prioritization of our
flagship Lightspeed Retail and Lightspeed Restaurant offerings;
market acceptance and adoption of our flagship offerings; our
ability to attract and retain key personnel required to achieve our
plans, including outbound and field sales personnel in our key
markets; our ability to execute our succession planning; our
expectations regarding the costs, timing and impact of our
reorganizations and other cost reduction initiatives; our ability
to manage customer churn; and our ability to manage customer
discount requests. Our financial outlook does not give effect to
the potential impact of acquisitions, divestitures or other
strategic transactions that may be announced or closed after the
date hereof. Our financial outlook, including the various
underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information and
should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement on
forward-looking information below. Many factors may cause our
actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information, including the risks and uncertainties
related to: macroeconomic factors affecting small and medium-sized
businesses, including inflation, changes in interest rates and
consumer spending trends; instability in the banking sector;
exchange rate fluctuations; any pandemic or global health crisis;
the Russian invasion of Ukraine
and reactions thereto; the Israel-Hamas war and reactions thereto;
uncertainty and changes as a result of elections in the U.S. and
Europe; our inability to attract
and retain customers, including among high GTV customers; our
inability to increase customer sales; our inability to implement
our growth strategy; our inability to continue to increase adoption
of our payments solutions, including our initiative to sell our POS
and payments solutions as one unified platform; our ability to
successfully execute our pricing and packaging initiatives; risks
relating to our merchant cash advance program; our ability to
continue offering merchant cash advances and scaling our merchant
cash advance program in line with our expectations; our reliance on
a small number of cloud service suppliers and suppliers for parts
of the technology in our payments solutions; our ability to manage
and maintain integrations between our platform and certain
third-party platforms; our ability to maintain sufficient levels of
hardware inventory; our inability to improve and enhance the
functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and
scalability of our platform; our ability to prevent and manage
information security breaches or other cyber-security threats; our
ability to compete against competitors; strategic relations with
third parties; our reliance on integration of third-party payment
processing solutions; compatibility of our solutions with
third-party applications and systems; changes to technologies on
which our platform is reliant; our ability to effectively
incorporate artificial intelligence solutions into our business and
operations; our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our
intellectual property; risks relating to international operations,
sales and use of our platform in various countries; our liquidity
and capital resources; pending and threatened litigation and
regulatory compliance; changes in tax laws and their application;
our ability to expand our sales, marketing and support capability
and capacity; our ability to execute on our reorganizations and
cost reduction initiatives; our ability to successfully make future
investments in our business through capital expenditures; our
ability to successfully execute our capital allocation strategies;
our ability to execute on our business and operational strategy,
including as a result of our pending strategic review; and
maintaining our customer service levels and reputation. The purpose

description of management's expectations regarding our financial
performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios
The information presented herein includes certain non-IFRS
financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Income",
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow", "Non-IFRS gross profit", "Non-IFRS
general and administrative expenses", "Non-IFRS research and
development expenses", and "Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses"
and certain non-IFRS ratios such as "Adjusted Income per Share -
Basic and Diluted", "Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of
revenue", "Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS research and development expenses
as a percentage of revenue", and "Non-IFRS sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of revenue". These measures and ratios are
not recognized measures and ratios under IFRS and do not have a
standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely
to be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other
companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as
additional information to complement those IFRS measures and ratios
by providing further understanding of our results of operations
from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures and
ratios should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute
for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
These non-IFRS measures and ratios are used to provide investors
with supplemental measures and ratios of our operating performance
and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our core business that
may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures
and ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and
ratios in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses
non-IFRS measures and ratios in order to facilitate operating
performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare operating
budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management
compensation.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net
loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or
EBITDA, as adjusted for share-based compensation and related
payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions
completed, foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction-related
costs, restructuring, litigation provisions and goodwill
impairment. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful
supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance, as it
helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could
otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that
are not indicative of the core operating performance of our
business.
"Adjusted Income" is defined as net loss
excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for share-based
compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses
relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs,
restructuring, litigation provisions, deferred income tax expense
(recovery) and goodwill impairment. We use this measure as we
believe excluding amortization of intangibles and certain other
non-cash or non-operational expenditures provides a helpful
supplementary indicator of our business performance as it allows
for more accurate comparability across periods.
"Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and
Diluted" is defined as Adjusted Income divided by the weighted
average number of common shares (basic and diluted). We use
Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted to provide a helpful
supplemental indicator of the performance of our business on a per
share (basic and diluted) basis.
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" is defined
as cash flows used in operating activities as adjusted for the
payment of amounts related to capitalized internal development
costs, the payment of amounts related to acquiring property and
equipment and certain cash inflows and outflows associated with
merchant cash advances. We use this measure as we believe including
or excluding certain inflows and outflows provides a helpful
supplemental indicator to investors of the Company's ability to
generate cash flows.
"Non-IFRS gross profit" is defined as
gross profit as adjusted for share-based compensation and related
payroll taxes. We use this measure as we believe excluding
share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a
helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business
performance in regard to the Company's performance and
profitability.
"Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of
revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS gross profit by
our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding
share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a
helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business
performance in regard to the Company's performance and
profitability.
"Non-IFRS general and administrative
expenses" is defined as general and administrative expenses as
adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes,
transaction-related costs and litigation provisions. We use this
measure as we believe excluding certain charges provides a helpful
supplemental indicator to investors on our operating
expenditures.
"Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our
Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses by our total revenue.
We use this ratio as we believe excluding certain charges provides
a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating
expenditures.
"Non-IFRS research and development
expenses" is defined as research and development expenses as
adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We
use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation
and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator
to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS research and development expenses
as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our
Non-IFRS research and development expenses by our total revenue. We
use this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and
related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to
investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS sales and marketing
expenses" is defined as sales and marketing expenses as
adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We
use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation
and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator
to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses as a
percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our
Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses by our total revenue. We use
this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and
related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to
investors on our operating expenditures.
See the financial tables below for a
reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures and ratios.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us
evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends
affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic
decisions. These key performance indicators are also used to
provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating
performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may
not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and
ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the
evaluation of issuers. Our key performance indicators may be
calculated in a manner different than similar key performance
indicators used by other companies.
Average Revenue Per
User. "Average Revenue Per User" or "ARPU"
represents the total subscription revenue and transaction-based
revenue of the Company in the period divided by the number of
Customer Locations of the Company in the period. We use this
measure as we believe it provides a helpful supplemental indicator
of our progress in growing the revenue that we derive from our
customer base. For greater clarity, the number of Customer
Locations of the Company in the period is calculated by taking the
average number of Customer Locations throughout the period.
Customer Locations. "Customer Location"
means a billing merchant location for which the term of services
has not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract,
and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid
subscription for which the term of services has not ended or in
respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A
single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations
including physical and eCommerce sites and in the case of NuORDER,
multiple subscriptions. We use this measure as we believe that our
ability to increase the number of Customer Locations with a high
GTV per year served by our platform is an indicator of our success
in terms of market penetration and growth of our business. A
Customer Location's GTV per year is calculated by annualizing the
GTV for the months in which the Customer Location was actively
processing in the last twelve months.
Gross Payment Volume. "Gross Payment Volume"
or "GPV" means the total dollar value of transactions
processed, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER
solution, in the period through our payments solutions in respect
of which we act as the principal in the arrangement with the
customer, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty
and value-added taxes. We use this measure as we believe that
growth in our GPV demonstrates the extent to which we have scaled
our payments solutions. As the number of Customer Locations using
our payments solutions grows, particularly those with a high GTV,
we will generate more GPV and see higher transaction-based revenue.
We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution
from our GPV because they represent business-to-business volume
rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently
have a robust payments solution for business-to-business
volume.
Gross Transaction Volume. "Gross
Transaction Volume" or "GTV" means the total dollar
value of transactions processed through our cloud-based
software-as-a-service platform, excluding amounts processed through
the NuORDER solution, in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of
shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We use this
measure as we believe GTV is an indicator of the success of our
customers and the strength of our platform. GTV does not represent
revenue earned by us. We have excluded amounts processed through
the NuORDER solution from our GTV because they represent
business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume
and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for
business-to-business volume.

These expenses
represent non-cash expenditures recognized in connection with
issued stock options and other awards under our equity incentive
plans to our employees and directors, and cash related payroll
taxes given that they are directly attributable to share-based
compensation; they can include estimates and are therefore subject
to change. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024,
share-based compensation expense was $18,329 and $29,657,
respectively (September 2023 - expense of $23,281 and $41,104), and
related payroll taxes were an expense of $1,198 and $1,544,
respectively (September 2023 - expense of $23 and $933). These
amounts are included in direct cost of revenues, general and
administrative expenses, research and development expenses and
sales and marketing expenses (see note 6 of the unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements for additional
details).
|
(2)
|
In connection with the
accounting standard IFRS 16 - Leases, for the three months ended
September 30, 2024, net loss includes depreciation of $1,369
related to right-of-use assets, interest expense of $357 on lease
liabilities, and excludes an amount of $2,277 relating to rent
expense ($1,647, $295, and $2,053, respectively, for the three
months ended September 30, 2023). For the six months ended
September 30, 2024, net loss includes depreciation of $2,763
related to right-of-use assets, interest expense of $711 on lease
liabilities, and excludes an amount of $4,387 relating to rent
expense ($3,877, $582 and $4,119, respectively, for the six months
ended September 30, 2023).
|
(3)
|
These non-cash gains
and losses relate to foreign exchange translation.
|
(4)
|
These costs represent a
portion of the consideration paid to acquired businesses that is
contingent upon the ongoing employment obligations for certain key
personnel of such acquired businesses, and/or on certain
performance criteria being achieved.
|
(5)
|
These expenses relate
to professional, legal, consulting, accounting, advisory, and other
fees relating to our public offerings and acquisitions that would
otherwise not have been incurred. These costs are included in
general and administrative expenses.
|
(6)
|
Certain functions and
the associated management structure were reorganized to realize
synergies and ensure organizational agility. During the three
months ended June 30, 2024, we announced a reorganization to
streamline the Company's operating model while continuing to focus
on profitable growth. The expenses associated with reorganization
initiatives were recorded as a restructuring charge (see note 13 of
the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for additional details).
|
(7)
|
These amounts represent
provisions taken, settlement amounts and other costs, such as legal
fees, incurred in respect of certain litigation matters, net of
amounts covered by insurance and indemnifications. These amounts
are included in general and administrative expenses (see note 13 of
the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for additional details).

$41,104), and related payroll taxes were an expense of $1,198 and
$1,544, respectively (September 2023 - expense of $23 and
$933). These amounts are included in direct cost of revenues,
general and administrative expenses, research and development
expenses and sales and marketing expenses (see note 6 of the
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for
additional details).
|
(2)
|
These costs represent a
portion of the consideration paid to acquired businesses that is
contingent upon the ongoing employment obligations for certain key
personnel of such acquired businesses, and/or on certain
performance criteria being achieved.
|
(3)
|
These expenses relate
to professional, legal, consulting, accounting, advisory, and other
fees relating to our public offerings and acquisitions that would
otherwise not have been incurred. These costs are included in
general and administrative expenses.
|

|
Certain functions and
the associated management structure were reorganized to realize
synergies and ensure organizational agility. During the three
months ended June 30, 2024, we announced a reorganization to
streamline the Company's operating model while continuing to focus
on profitable growth. The expenses associated with reorganization
initiatives were recorded as a restructuring charge (see note 13 of
the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for additional details).
|
(5)
|
These amounts represent
provisions taken, settlement amounts and other costs, such as legal
fees, incurred in respect of certain litigation matters, net of
amounts covered by insurance and indemnifications. These amounts
are included in general and administrative expenses (see note 13 of
the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for additional details).
|
(6)
|
For the three and six
months ended September 30, 2024, because the impact of including
potentially-dilutive shares in the Weighted average number of
Common Shares - basic and diluted would not result in a change in
the Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted, the Weighted
average number of Common Shares - basic and diluted was not
adjusted to include the potentially-dilutive shares.

to change. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024,
share-based compensation expense was $18,329 and $29,657,
respectively (September 2023 - expense of $23,281 and
