Shopify SHOP Loss Contingency Accrual, Period Increase (Decrease)

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reversed the previously recorded liability of $55 million within "General and administrative" in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, as a loss contingency was no longer considered probable. The initial recognition of the liability in 2022 related to a jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware returning a verdict finding that the Company infringed three web technology patents owned by Express Mobile, Inc.. The Company filed a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the court granted that motion, vacating the jury verdict in its entirety and mooting the plaintiff's motion for pre- and post-judgment interest. In 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals dismissed Express Mobile's appeal and affirmed there was no infringement by the Company.
