Net income for the quarter rose 22% to $1.33 billion, or $1.15 per diluted share, up from $1.09 billion, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the same period last year. This growth was driven by an increase in Total Payment Volume (TPV) and a favorable impact from hedging, alongside contributions from Venmo. However, for the first nine months of 2022, net income saw a significant 56% decrease to $1.50 billion, impacted by a substantial rise in operating expenses and a decrease in other income (expense), net, largely due to losses on strategic investments and increased income tax expense.

For the nine-month period, operating expenses grew 15%, outpacing revenue growth and leading to a 19% decrease in operating income.
