2018 Performance Highlights Non-GAAP Operating Margin2 Free Cash Flow2 $ In Billions Revenue $ In Billions 1 Reported on a spot basis; 26% TPV growth year-over-year on an FX-neutral basis. 2 Non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow are two of the performance metrics used in our incentive compensation program. Non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow are not financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 3 Free Cash Flow for 2017 and 2018 reflect the impact of held for sale accounting treatment in connection with the sale of the Company’s U.S. consumer credit receivables portfolio, which reduced free cash flow for 2017 by approximately $1.3 billion and increased free cash flow for 2018 by approximately $1.4 billion. Normalizing for this impact, free cash flow for 2017 and 2018 would have been approximately $3.2 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively.

Compensation Program Closely Tied to Company Performance 2018 NEO Compensation Program Elements Component Form Performance Period Performance Criteria Salary Cash 100% Ongoing Alignment of salary with performance is evaluated on an annual basis Annual Incentive Plan Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units 75% One year Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Margin, with Net New Actives modifier Cash 25% Individual Performance Long-Term Incentive Plan Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units 50% Three years FX-Neutral Revenue CAGR Free Cash Flow CAGR Restricted Stock Units 50% Vests annually over three years Service-based vesting; ultimate value varies based on stock price performance CEO Pay Aligned with Stockholder Value Creation1 Our executive compensation program supports PayPal’s growth strategy and is well-aligned with the creation of long-term stockholder value ©2019 PayPal Inc. In addition to the annual long-term incentive award in April 2018, the Compensation Committee granted a performance-based award to Mr. Schulman that will only be earned if meaningful and sustained stock price performance targets are achieved during a five-year performance period 1 The above chart demonstrates the alignment between Indexed TSR with our CEO Pay (as shown in the “2018 Summary Compensation Table”) during 2018, 2017, and 2016. Indexed TSR is defined as the total stockholder return on our common stock during the period from December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018, assuming $100 was invested on December 31, 2015.

2018 CEO PSU Award Demands Continued Long-Term Outperformance ©2019 PayPal Inc. Form Performance Period Performance Alignment & Safeguards PSUs 100% April 2018 –April 2023 Granted on April 1, 2018, when the average closing stock price for the 90 trading days prior to the grant date was $77.84 50% earned at 90-trading-day average closing stock price target of $105 50% earned at 90-trading-day average closing stock price target of $125 Backloaded vesting, generally with earned awards vesting on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of grant date Award subject to forfeiture if the stock price targets are not met over the performance period Earned shares generally required to be held until the fifth anniversary of the grant date The Compensation Committee considered the following factors as it contemplated Mr. Schulman’s executive compensation in early 2018: The instrumental role that Mr. Schulman continues to play in PayPal’s strategic transformation PayPal’s strong financial and operational performance under Mr. Schulman’s leadership Mr. Schulman is uniquely qualified to lead PayPal given his deep subject matter expertise, leadership experience and vision in growing complex businesses, and experience transforming financial services while driving cultural change in an environment that champions diversity and inclusion Employee retention is one of our core business risks and competition for proven CEO talent is particularly intense An award based on meaningful stock price targets over a five-year period is consistent with PayPal’s “pay for performance” philosophy PayPal has performed extremely well since becoming an independent public company in July 2015 both on an absolute basis and relative to the broader market. To earn the CEO PSU Award, our stock price must continue to grow over the long term Around the time the grant was made, PayPal’s stock price was at its highest since becoming an independent public company The Compensation Committee recognized that compensation outside of a standard incentive program should complement the existing compensation program and include appropriate stockholder-friendly safeguards The 2018 CEO PSU Award was granted at a time of strong financial and stock price performance, and achievement of the stretch goals will require sustaining this level of growth over the coming years
