| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Etsy operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world. These marketplaces - which collectively create a “House of Brands” - share the Company’s mission, common levers for growth, similar business models, and a strong commitment to use business and technology to strengthen communities and empower people. The Company’s primary marketplace, Etsy.com, is the global destination for unique and creative goods made by independent sellers. The Company generates revenue primarily from marketplace activities, including transaction (inclusive of offsite advertising), payments processing, and listing fees, as well as from optional seller services, which include on-site advertising and shipping labels. Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Etsy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On August 10, 2023, Etsy closed the sale of the parent holding company of Elo7 Serviços de Informática (“Elo7”), the Company’s Brazil-based marketplace for handmade and unique items, to Enjoei S.A., a corporation in Brazil. The financial results of Elo7 have been included in Etsy’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition until August 10, 2023. Reclassifications Certain items in the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full annual period or any future period due to seasonal and other factors. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. The accounting estimates that require management’s most subjective judgments include: income taxes, including the estimate of the annual effective tax rate at interim periods and evaluation of uncertain tax positions; valuation of goodwill; and leases. As of September 30, 2024, there continues to be significant global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty which may impact the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and judgments require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Additionally, it requires that a public entity (1) disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment, (2) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and (3) requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this proposed ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet or exceed a quantitative threshold. Additionally, it requires all entities disclose the following information about income taxes paid on an annual basis: (1) the year-to-date amounts of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application to all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its disclosures.
