Block 8-K Report, Bylaw Amendment (Nov 2, 2026)

Block, Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 2, 2026, disclosing an amendment to its Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement on October 28, 2026, effective immediately upon approval.

The filing notes that the company has adopted a distributed work model and therefore has no formal headquarters; the address listed is its principal executive office, which SEC rules require it to identify. The full text of the amended Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference into the Item 5.03 disclosure. The filing contains no financial results, guidance, or other operating information.

Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) filed an 8-K on August 5, 2026 furnishing its Shareholder Letter for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $89 million on a GAAP basis; the statements of operations show $88.5 million. GAAP results were weighed down by $365 million of contingencies, restructuring and other charges in the quarter, and general and administrative expenses rose 84% year over year on a GAAP basis, primarily from increased accrued legal contingencies. Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses increased 99% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven by loan volume growth. Bitcoin Ecosystem gross profit declined 31% year over year, reflecting a strategic decision to reduce fees on certain bitcoin transactions on Cash App. Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to $12.51 billion in gross profit (up 21%), Adjusted Operating Income of $3.47 billion (28% margin), and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $4.02 (up 70%).

Gross profit was $3.17 billion for the quarter, up 25% year over year, with Cash App gross profit up 31% and Square gross profit up 13%.

Block, Inc. (XYZ) filed this Form 8-K on May 7, 2026 to furnish its Shareholder Letter for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1). Gross profit rose 27% year over year to $2.91 billion, with Cash App gross profit up 38% to $1.91 billion and Square gross profit up 9% to $982 million. GAAP results were weaker: operating loss was $172 million and diluted net loss per share was $0.52, driven by $852 million in restructuring and other charges tied to a February organizational change and accrued legal contingencies, plus a $173 million bitcoin remeasurement loss.

Consumer Lending origination volume grew 82% year over year to $17.6 billion, with Cash App Borrow originations up 175%, and management expects loss growth rates to decline through the rest of 2026.

Block Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2026

Block, Inc. (XYZ) reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $308.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with net income of $189.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Total net revenue rose to $6.06 billion from $5.77 billion, while gross profit increased to $2.91 billion from $2.29 billion. The loss was driven by higher operating expenses, including $495.3 million of restructuring charges tied to the Workforce Plan, under which the company reduced its workforce by more than 40%, and a $240 million accrued estimate of loss related to a DOJ inquiry. Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses rose to $500.1 million from $169.7 million, and operating income swung to a loss of $172.0 million from income of $329.3 million. Cash App gross profit was $1.91 billion, up 38% year over year, driven by growth in Cash App Borrow, while Square gross profit was $981.5 million, up 9%. Bitcoin ecosystem revenue declined $533.4 million, or 23%, reflecting lower trading volume and bitcoin prices. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.01 billion compared with $812.8 million a year earlier. Management cites available liquidity of $9.1 billion and expects annualized net cost savings from the Workforce Plan of approximately $800 million to $900 million. During the quarter the company repurchased $636.0 million of Class A common stock, leaving $4.7 billion authorized under its program. Investors should weigh the strong gross profit growth in Cash App and Square against the rising credit losses, restructuring costs, the unresolved DOJ matter, and the pending securities and derivative litigation, for which the filing states a loss could be material but cannot be estimated.

Block 8-K Report, Financial Results (May 1, 2025)

Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) reported first-quarter 2025 results in a Shareholder Letter furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Gross profit was $2.29 billion, up 9% year over year. Cash App gross profit was $1.38 billion, up 10%, and Square gross profit was $898 million, up 9%. Management said Cash App gross profit growth came in below its expectations, driven by softer inflows and Cash App Card spend than forecasted, and that changes in consumer spending as the quarter progressed drove most of the miss. Operating income was $329 million, a 14% margin on gross profit, and Adjusted Operating Income was $466 million, a 20% margin. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $190 million, and diluted EPS was $0.30. Adjusted EBITDA was $813 million. The company lowered its 2025 outlook to $9.96 billion of gross profit, 12% growth, and $1.90 billion of Adjusted Operating Income, a 19% margin. For the second quarter, it expects gross profit of $2.45 billion, 9.5% growth, and Adjusted Operating Income of $450 million. Management expects growth to accelerate in the second half, with low-double-digit gross profit growth in the third quarter and mid-teens growth in the fourth quarter. The acceleration depends on expanding Cash App Borrow, including its nationwide availability after FDIC approval for Square Financial Services to issue consumer loans, and on Cash App Afterpay and marketing investment. Management also said the company remains focused on the Rule of 40 framework. Capital position was solid. In the quarter, Block repurchased 6.8 million Class A shares for $445 million, leaving $2.2 billion of a $4 billion authorization available. The company ended the quarter with $9.2 billion of total liquidity, including $8.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable debt securities. Trailing twelve-month net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 billion, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $1.5 billion.

Block, Inc. (XYZ) reported first-quarter 2025 results in this Form 10-Q filed May 1, 2025. Total net revenue was $5.77 billion, down from $5.96 billion a year earlier, primarily because bitcoin revenue fell $429.7 million to $2.30 billion. Excluding bitcoin revenue, total net revenue increased $244.4 million, or 8%. Gross profit rose to $2.29 billion from $2.09 billion, up 9% year over year, with Cash App gross profit up 10% to $1.38 billion and Square gross profit up 9% to $897.9 million. Operating income was $329.3 million versus $249.7 million a year earlier, and Adjusted EBITDA was $812.8 million versus $705.1 million. Net income attributable to common stockholders fell to $189.9 million from $472.0 million, mainly because of a $93.4 million remeasurement loss on the bitcoin investment compared with a $233.4 million gain in the prior-year quarter. Diluted EPS was $0.30 versus $0.74. Liquidity remained substantial at $9.2 billion, though it declined $1.5 billion from December 31, 2024. The decline reflected a $1.0 billion cash payment to settle the 2025 Convertible Notes at maturity and $445.3 million of share repurchases in the quarter. The company held $5.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt, including $1.0 billion of 2026 Senior Notes, $1.0 billion of 2031 Senior Notes, $2.0 billion of 2032 Senior Notes, and $575.0 million each of the 2026 and 2027 Convertible Notes. Operating cash flow was $133.3 million, compared with $489.4 million a year earlier. The filing also discloses legal and regulatory matters. In April 2025 the company entered into a consent order with the New York State Department of Financial Services and paid a $40 million civil monetary penalty. Ongoing matters include multistate Attorney General inquiries about Cash App customer complaints, SEC and DOJ inquiries, and a San Francisco gross receipts tax assessment of $71.4 million that the company paid as a deposit. The company estimates a possible loss range of approximately $0 to $92 million for that tax matter, but has not recorded a liability because a loss is not considered probable.

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.90 billion, which includes $1.9 billion of one-time income tax benefits. Fourth-quarter gross profit was $2.31 billion, up 14%, and operating income fell to $13 million, reflecting contingencies, restructuring and other charges tied to litigation and regulatory matters. Management's 2025 outlook calls for gross profit of $10.22 billion (at least 15% growth) and Adjusted Operating Income of $2.10 billion, or about a 21% margin, implying a Rule of 35.5. The company expects gross profit growth to accelerate through the year, with a more pronounced acceleration at Cash App driven by the February 2025 rollout of Afterpay on Cash App Card and expanded Cash App Borrow eligibility. Management plans to raise go-to-market investment by more than 20% and expects to exit 2025 at a Rule of 40 run rate, with Rule of 40 still targeted for 2026. The letter also gives a Q1 2025 outlook of $2.32 billion gross profit (11% growth) and $430 million Adjusted Operating Income. The letter notes that results are preliminary until the company files its Form 10-K, and that the company is continuing negotiations with the New York Department of Financial Services over its compliance program, one of its remaining state money transmitter regulators.

The filing describes the change only in these terms and does not state the amended borrowing terms, amounts, or pricing. The Revolver Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference, and the filing also includes the cover page interactive data file (Exhibit 104). Item 2.03 incorporates the Item 1.01 disclosure by reference, so the amendment is also treated as the creation of a direct financial obligation for reporting purposes.

Block 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 22, 2024)

Block, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on February 22, 2024 to furnish its Shareholder Letter (Exhibit 99.1) announcing fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 results. For the full year 2023, total net revenue was $21.92 billion, up 25% year over year, and gross profit was $7.50 billion, up 25% year over year. Operating loss was $279 million (compared to $625 million in 2022), Adjusted Operating Income was $351 million, net income attributable to common stockholders was $10 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $1.79 billion, up 81% year over year. In the fourth quarter, gross profit was $2.03 billion, up 22% year over year, and net income attributable to common stockholders was $178 million, which included a $207 million bitcoin remeasurement gain. Operating expenses included a $132 million goodwill impairment related to TIDAL, $70 million of severance and related expenses, and $34 million of lease impairment restructuring expenses. The letter sets out a Cash App strategy centered on banking its existing base: converting the 56 million monthly transacting actives into primary banking users, serving families, and building a social bank, with an emphasis on U.S. growth and inflows per active rather than new markets. Management said it operates under an absolute cap of 12,000 employees and is focused on reaching Rule of 40 in 2026. The 2024 initial guidance calls for gross profit of at least $8.65 billion (up at least 15%), Adjusted Operating Income of at least $1.15 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA of at least $2.63 billion. The company also noted a $350 million processor deposit that reduced full-year 2023 Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which was $515 million. For investors, the key takeaways are the swing toward operating profitability on an adjusted basis, the strong growth in Cash App Borrow and BNPL activity, and a 2024 plan that prioritizes profitable growth over actives growth, with management stating its objective of improving on the Rule of 29 achieved in 2023.

The company raised its 2023 outlook, now projecting gross profit of $7,439 million to $7,459 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $1,660 million to $1,680 million, and Adjusted Operating Income of $205 million to $225 million, up from prior Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1,500 million and Adjusted Operating Income guidance of $25 million.

The letter also announces an absolute cap of 12,000 employees and a change in segment reporting that moves the BNPL platform fully under Cash App beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023. The repurchase authorization is intended to offset a portion of dilution from stock-based compensation, and the company states that repurchases may be suspended at any time. Investors should note that the letter reports share-based compensation of $345.7 million in the quarter, which is a large component of the gap between GAAP and non-GAAP profitability.
