Pagaya Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Exceeded first quarter guidance on all metrics

Network Volume grew 12% year-over-year to $1.85 billion; Total Revenue and Other Income grew 9% year-over-year to $186.6 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million

Company raises adjusted EBITDA guidance for full-year 2023

Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PGY) (“Pagaya”, the “Company” or “we”), a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, today announced financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2023 and raised its adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023.

“Our results in 1Q23 were another proof point of our ability to execute through market volatility,” said Gal Krubiner, Chief Executive Officer of Pagaya. “The strength of our AI technology and resilient business model enables us to deliver consistent value for our partners and asset outperformance for investors. Our new partners are growing rapidly, and we are seeing improving economics as our network expands. We continue to consistently raise funding and grow our investor base as the number one issuer of personal loan ABS transactions in the U.S. We remain focused on driving sustainable profitability through continued network expansion, increased monetization of our network and operating efficiency, which resulted in a return to positive adjusted EBITDA this quarter. We are raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full-year 2023, as we remain confident in our ability to continue to drive profitable growth.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2022 unless otherwise stated

  • Network volume increased 12% to $1.85 billion, reflecting continued growth of existing partners and products and ramp-up of newer partners who joined the Pagaya network in the past 12 months
  • Total revenue and other income increased 9% to $186.6 million, driven by higher AI integration and contract fees, offsetting the impact of ongoing capital markets volatility
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million, reflecting continued volume growth, increased fee revenue and cost-savings initiatives. Excluding the impact of the Company’s recent acquisition of Darwin, adjusted EBITDA is $4.7 million
  • Net loss attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $61.0 million, impacted by non-cash items such as share-based compensation expense and the cumulative impact of a change in election to available-for-sale accounting for the Company’s risk retention investments. Adjusted net loss of $11.0 million, which excludes share-based compensation expense, a change in fair value of warrant liability and non-recurring expenses

Recent Business Highlights

  • Network expansion and monetization: Rapid growth of both new and mature partners further strengthened the Company’s AI technology and enabled improved economics via incremental AI integration fees. Partners and channels added in 2022 contributed approximately 20% of total network volume in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Exercising prudence to optimize asset performance: Conversion rate of applications evaluated in the first quarter of 2023 declined by 46% compared to a peak in the third quarter of 2021, while application volume grew by 56% over that same period, as the Company shifted to a more resilient borrower portfolio to deliver target asset returns for investors. Early-stage delinquencies on Q4’22 personal loan vintages are 55% lower than Q4’21 vintages and continued to outperform the market benchmark.
  • Consistently raising capital: The Company was the number one issuer of personal loan ABS transactions in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting its ability to consistently raise capital to fund partner originations. New strategic investors joined the Company’s funding network and long-term investor, GIC, extended its funding agreement with the Company through 2028.
  • Path to sustainable profitability: The Company remains committed to delivering sustainable profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis with increased network monetization and operating efficiency. The Company’s core operating expense ratio excluding the impact of its recent Darwin acquisition (defined as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expense, depreciation and one-time items as a percentage of total revenue and other income) fell to 29% in the first quarter of 2023, a decline of 3 percentage points sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the unaudited financial information and data contained in this press release and Form 6-K, such as Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and to enhance the overall understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. Management believes it provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with the performance of other companies. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To address these limitations, management provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya’s shareholders. Management encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with its respective related GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, interest expense, depreciation expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

These items are excluded from our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA measures because they are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, is not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA because these are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, this non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP amount.

In addition, outlook for the fiscal year, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis, which Pagaya will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya under “Second Quarter 2023 Outlook” and “Full-Year 2023 Outlook” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income (loss) and other reconciling items are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial results.
