"By prioritizing higher LTV subscribers and scaling our proprietary shopping features, we have created a platform that delivers daily utility to our consumers.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) reached a new quarterly high of $1.2 billion, a 35.3% YoY increase. This performance was primarily driven by the strategic investment and focus of scaling Subscription offerings, alongside peak holiday demand. Consumers transacted 6.6x on average during the quarter, compared to 5.5x last year, supported by targeted subscriber marketing and continued adoption of new shopping features driving higher engagement.
• Total Revenue advanced 32.2% to a new quarterly high of $129.9 million, equating to 11.2% of GMV.
• Monthly On-Demand & Subscribers (MODS) reached 918,000 (rounded to the nearest thousand), reflecting 134,000 new additions during the quarter, primarily driven by Premium and Anywhere, and consistent with the Company's strategic focus on acquiring higher lifetime value consumers.
• Total Operating Expenses grew 10.8% YoY to $74.6 million, well below revenue growth of 32.2%. Despite marketing spend increasing 73.3% YoY to support MODS acquisition, Total Operating Expenses decreased 11.1 percentage points to 57.5% of Total Revenue and 1.5 percentage points to 6.4% of GMV.
• Transaction Related Costs³ declined 1.1 percentage points to 4.0% of GMV from 5.1% in the prior-year period. Favorable repayment performance and conservative holiday season underwriting contributed to Provision for Credit Losses declining 80 bps YoY to 2.0% of GMV, which represented a majority of the margin gain. In absolute terms, Transaction Related Costs rose 5.5% YoY to $46.3 million.
• Operating Income climbed 79.0% YoY to $55.2 million in the quarter. Operating Margin improved 11.1 percentage points to 42.5% of Total Revenue and 1.2 percentage points to 4.8% of GMV, reflecting improved Transaction Related Costs relative to GMV and operating leverage.
• Total Revenue Less Transaction Related Costs² jumped 53.8% YoY to $83.5 million. This represented 7.2% of GMV and 64.3% of Total Revenue, reflecting YoY gains of 0.8 and 9.0 percentage points, respectively.
• Non-Transaction Related Operating Expenses² grew 18.9% YoY to $32.0 million, including marketing expense of $9.3 million compared to $5.4 million in 4Q24. As a percentage of Total Revenue, the metric declined 2.8 percentage points YoY to 24.6% despite higher marketing spend.
  • The quarter included $1.3 million in Corporate Strategic Project Costs, consisting of professional services expenses related to the ongoing support for the antitrust litigation and bank charter application, as well as the completion of the Company's capital markets exploration.
• Net Income reached $42.7 million, advancing 68.3% YoY and representing 32.9% of Total Revenue compared to 25.8% in 4Q24. Earnings per Diluted Share⁴ rose 72.9% YoY to $1.21.
  • Adjusted Net Income⁵ jumped 64.2% YoY to $42.8 million, representing 33.0% of Total Revenue. The bottom line performance drove a 68.1% YoY jump in Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share⁴ to $1.21.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁵ increased 79.1% YoY to $58.3 million in 4Q25. Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded 11.8 percentage points to 44.9% of Total Revenue from 33.1% in 4Q24.
  
  

Full Year 2025 Highlights

• GMV increased 55.1% YoY to $3.9 billion in FY2025, exceeding the prior-year level of $2.5 billion. Growth reflected the continued expansion of Subscription offerings, the introduction of On-Demand, and higher consumer engagement that supported increased transaction frequency.

Investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when we establish reserves for one or more contingencies. Also, our regular reserve reviews may result in adjustments of varying magnitude as additional information regarding claims activity becomes known. Reported results, therefore, may be volatile in certain accounting periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our operating results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Total revenue less transaction related costs; transaction related costs; non-transaction related operating expenses; adjusted net income; adjusted net income margin; adjusted net income per diluted share; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and summaries of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to the Company and investors are as follows:

• Total revenue less transaction related costs is defined as GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs. Transaction related costs is the sum of GAAP transaction expense, provision for credit losses, and net interest expense less certain non-recurring charges as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs above. We believe that total revenue less transaction related costs is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating the economic value of orders processed on the Sezzle Platform.
  
• Non-transaction related operating expenses is defined as the sum of GAAP personnel; third-party technology and data; marketing, advertising, and tradeshows; and general and administrative operating expenses. We believe that non-transaction related operating expenses is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating our management of operating expenses not directly attributable to orders processed on the Sezzle Platform.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain charges including depreciation, amortization, equity and incentive-based compensation, and corporate strategic project costs, as well as net interest expense as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business' unit economics by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
  
• Adjusted net income is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain charges including discrete tax items, fair value adjustments on warrants, losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, corporate strategic project costs, and other income and expense, as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted net income. We believe that this financial measure is useful for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
  
• Adjusted net income margin is defined as Adjusted net income divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
  
• Adjusted net income per diluted share is defined as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of shareholder return by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
  
  

Additionally, we have included these non-GAAP measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, guide future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of resources. Therefore, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and other users of this press release to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered supplemental in nature, and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:

• Total revenue less transaction-related costs is not intended to be measures of operating profit or cash flow profitability as they exclude key operating expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
  
• Transaction related costs exclude significant expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
  
• Non-transaction related operating expenses exclude significant expenses, including transaction expense and provision for credit losses, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude certain charges such as depreciation, amortization, and equity and incentive-based compensation, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, recurring GAAP expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant cash inflows and outflows, which have a significant impact on our working capital and cash.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin excludes net interest expense, which has a significant impact on our GAAP net income, working capital, and cash.
  
• Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted net income per diluted share excludes certain charges such as losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, fair value adjustments on our warrants, other income and expense, and discrete tax items which have been, and may be in the future, recurring GAAP expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant cash inflows and outflows, which have a significant impact on our working capital and cash.
  
• Long-lived assets being depreciated or amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the capital expenditures needed for such replacements, or for any new capital expenditures or commitments.
  
• These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
  
• Non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
  
• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
  
  

Because of these limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. We encourage you to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
