Mogo Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Record Q1 revenue of $17.3 million, up 51% year over year

Record gross profit of $12.3 million, up 30% year over year

Member base increases 62% year over year to 1.94 million

Company provides updated outlook for 2022

Mogo reports in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS

Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading financial technology companies, today announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We delivered 51% revenue growth and record quarterly gross profit while approaching 2 million members on the Mogo platform, up 62% from this time last year,” said David Feller, Mogo’s Founder and CEO. “During periods of market volatility, the recurring nature of our revenue base – roughly 95% recurring – continues to serve us well. Looking ahead, we remain as committed as ever to bringing Canadian consumers the best tools and products to help them achieve financial freedom, while making a positive impact with their money. Our team continues to be focused on building out the leading next gen digital wealth platform, including the upcoming rollout of MogoTrade, our commission-free stock trading app. The current challenging conditions in equity markets do not change our view of the long-term growth potential for MogoTrade given the massive addressable market and the opportunity for digital disruption, and we couldn’t be more excited about the products we are building.”

Key Financial Highlights for Q1 2022

  • Total revenue increased 51% over the comparable quarter in 2021 to a record $17.3 million, driven by subscription and services revenue, which increased 78% over the comparable quarter in 2021 to $10.7 million.
  • Gross profit increased 30% to $12.3 million (71.4% margin), compared to $9.5 million (83.0% margin) in Q1 2021.
  • Contribution1 increased 17% to $7.4 million, compared to $6.3 million in Q1 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $5.5 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million in Q1 2021, reflecting increased growth investments in the Company’s platform and products, particularly for MogoTrade.
  • Adjusted net loss1 of $10.8 million, compared with $5.7 million in Q1 2021.
  • Net loss increased to $18.9 million in Q1 2022, compared with $2.8 million in Q1 2021. The year-over-year change reflects increased growth spend, Mogo’s share of Coinsquare’s net loss during the quarter of $5.6 million (versus net income of nil in Q1 2021), and an unrealized loss on Mogo’s investment portfolio of $0.4 million in the current period compared to a gain of $5.8 million in the same period last year.
  • Ended the quarter with combined cash, digital assets and investment portfolio of $74.8 million2 which excludes the company’s investment in cryptocurrency platform Coinsquare, which had a book value of $98.3 million as at March 31, 2022.
  • Approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to US$10 million of common shares.

“Our diversified and primarily recurring revenue base proved resilient in the first quarter as we continued to show strong growth during a more challenging period for many fintechs,” said Greg Feller, President and CFO of Mogo. “Although we are continuing to make substantial investments in new products and our platform given our view of the long-term opportunity, we continue to have control of our growth investment dials should we find it necessary to moderate our investments and move more quickly towards profitability. Importantly, we maintain a strong financial position which, when combined with the proven profitability of our model, gives us the conviction of our investments in important growth areas including MogoTrade, our MogoWealth platform and our Carta Worldwide payments division. These products open up substantial new markets for Mogo and we believe position the company very well in the Canadian market for driving additional growth in 2023 and beyond.”

Business & Operations Highlights

  • Continued phased rollout of MogoTrade commission-free stock trading solution in advance of the full rollout planned in Q2 2022.
  • Mogo’s total member base increased by approximately 62%, from 1,195,000 members as at March 31, 2021 to 1,941,000 members as at March 31, 2022. Q1 2022 represents the third quarter in a row of increased organic net member additions.
  • MogoWealth ended the quarter with assets under management of approximately $318.0 million3.
  • Formed Mogo Ventures to manage its investment portfolio of approximately $119 million4 (as at March 31, 2022) spread across investments in private and public companies in the software, crypto, e-gaming and NFT industries, as well as digital assets.
  • Allan Smith was appointed Head of Carta Worldwide, bringing 15 years of global leadership experience in progressively demanding roles in Fortune 50 as well as hyper-growth SaaS and fintech companies, including SoFi / Galileo (NASDAQ:SOFI).

Financial Outlook

Mogo updated its full-year 2022 outlook, reflecting a shift in the rollout timeline and expected contribution from MogoTrade, as well as the deferral of certain customer program rollouts in its payments processing subsidiary, Carta Worldwide, to 2023. In fiscal year 2022:

  • Total revenues are expected to grow between 20% to 25% year over year to $69 to $72 million. This compares to previous guidance of $75 to $80 million.
  • The Company now expects improving adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue beginning in Q2 2022 (versus previously communicated guidance of improving adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in the second half of the year).

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non‑IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement the IFRS financial measures contained herein by providing further metrics to understand the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non‑IFRS financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and contribution, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Our management also uses non‑IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. For more information, please see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended March 31, 2022, which is available at www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov.

The following tables present a reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure.
