Decline in Small Merchant Share: The proportion of customer locations with GTV under $200,000 continues to decline, suggesting a shift away from smaller merchants and potential loss of market share in that segment.

Restructuring Impact on Growth: The December restructuring impacted go-to-market positions, indicating potential delays in growth as new hires take time to ramp up, which may hinder immediate revenue generation.
