The Group achieved total income of $ 417.2 million for the half year ended 31 December 2020 , up 89 % on the half year ended 31 December 2019. Total income growth was supported by an increase in the value of customer orders processed through the Afterpay platform ( referred to as Underlying Sales ) ² as customer and merchant demand for the Afterpay service continues to grow across all of Afterpay's operating regions , particularly in North America and the United Kingdom . The Group delivered earnings before interest , tax , depreciation and amortisation ( EBITDA ) ( excluding significant items ) ² of $ 47.9 million for the half year ended 31 December 2020 , up $ 40.2 million on the half year ended 31 December 2019. Higher EBITDA ( excluding significant items ) ² was driven by an increase in gross profit which more than offset planned increased investment in employment and operating expenses . Investment continues to be directed to scaling Afterpay's global operations and growing Underlying Sales² . $ m 220.3 ( 28.9 ) 2019 The Group recorded a Loss after tax of $ 79.2 million for the half year ended 31 December 2020. The increase in the Loss after tax of $ 47.6 million was primarily driven by the net loss on financial liabilities at fair value of $ 64.8 million . This non - cash loss relates to an increase in the valuation of the Clearpay Put Option liability for the remaining shares in Clearpay Finance Limited ( Afterpay's UK operations or Clearpay ) held by ThinkSmart Limited . The increase in the valuation reflects better than expected results for Clearpay for the period ended 31 December 2020 , improvements to Clearpay's forecast future cash flows and increases in broader market valuations for similar businesses .
