“Our record third-quarter results reflect MoneyLion’s ongoing ability to grow rapidly and take market share through our differentiated solutions for consumers and enterprises alike,” said Dee Choubey, MoneyLion’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Choubey continued, “Our land and expand strategy is working, we’re scaling our customer base while maintaining profitability and reinvesting in technology and revenue growth acceleration. The launch of new products and partnerships, such as our new MoneyLion Checkout offering and our new or expanded partnerships with Nova Credit, TransUnion and Plaid, underscore that MoneyLion is in the early innings of a new horizon in its evolution as a leading digital ecosystem for consumer finance. Moreover, these developments align with our growth pillars and position MoneyLion for accelerating revenue growth.”

“MoneyLion generated record revenue of $135 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $24 million in the third quarter. These results met or exceeded our guidance across all metrics. Building on this momentum, we are happy to announce we are raising our full-year 2024 guidance, which implies revenue growth acceleration exiting the year. For full-year 2024, we now expect revenue of $536 million to $541 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $88 to $93 million. Accordingly, for the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect revenue of $149 to $154 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $22 to $27 million. This reflects revenue growth of 34% year-over-year at the midpoint, a significant acceleration from 23% growth in Q3 2024,” said Rick Correia, MoneyLion’s Chief Financial Officer.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). MoneyLion management historically used and uses Adjusted EBITDA for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. MoneyLion believes presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MoneyLion’s results of operations. MoneyLion’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MoneyLion does not recommend the sole use of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its financial performance. MoneyLion management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MoneyLion’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with MoneyLion’s GAAP results. You should review MoneyLion’s financial statements, which are included in MoneyLion’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate MoneyLion’s business.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below. To the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which could be material based on historical adjustments. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Definitions:

Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined as net (loss) income plus interest expense related to corporate debt, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of contingent consideration from mergers and acquisitions, goodwill impairment loss, stock-based compensation and certain other expenses that management does not consider in measuring performance.

Total Customers: Defined as the cumulative number of customers that have opened at least one account, including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan, Instacash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency account and customers that are monetized through our marketplace and affiliate products.

If a customer has funded multiple secured personal loans or Instacash advances or opened multiple products through our marketplace, it is only counted once for each product type.
