The company has raised both revenue and EBITDA guidance significantly, indicating strong financial performance. The deployment of CashAI v5.5 and the introduction of a new monthly subscription fee suggest positive product development. Market strategy is bolstered by a focus on BNPL and improving customer acquisition. Despite some lack of transparency, the Q&A reveals strong analyst sentiment and no major concerns. The raised guidance and strategic initiatives are likely to drive a strong positive stock price reaction.
Revenue $150.8 million, a 63% increase year-over-year. The growth was driven by accelerated growth in monthly transacting members, expanded ARPU, and strategic pricing changes.
Adjusted EBITDA $58.7 million, a 137% increase year-over-year. This was achieved through strong operating leverage and higher gross profit margins.
Monthly Transacting Members (MTM) 2.77 million, a 17% increase year-over-year. Growth was attributed to successful product and marketing initiatives that drove higher conversion rates and member reactivation.
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) Increased by nearly 40% year-over-year. This was driven by underwriting improvements, a new pricing model, and higher ExtraCash offers.
ExtraCash Originations Surpassed $2 billion, a 49% increase year-over-year. Growth was due to MTM growth and a 20% increase in average origination size.
Total Card Spend $510 million, a 25% increase year-over-year. Growth was driven by increases in MTMs and card spend per active banking customer.
High-Margin Subscription Revenue Grew 57% year-over-year. This was due to the rollout of a $3 monthly subscription fee for new members.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit $104.2 million, a 62% increase year-over-year. Growth was driven by higher revenue and improved unit economics.
Non-GAAP Gross Margin 69%, consistent with the target range of high 60s to low 70s.
GAAP Net Income $92 million, an increase of $91.5 million year-over-year. This includes a $33.6 million income tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Adjusted Net Income $61.6 million, a 193% increase year-over-year. This excludes nonrecurring items, stock-based compensation, and noncash fair value adjustments.
CashAI v5.5: The latest evolution of the proprietary underwriting engine, trained on the new fee structure and leveraging nearly twice as many AI-driven features as the prior version. It has driven stronger conversion, higher approval amounts, and improved credit outcomes, positioning the company for further expansion in ExtraCash gross profit and revenue net of losses.
ExtraCash originations: Grew 49% year-over-year, surpassing $2 billion for the first time, driven by MTM growth and a 20% growth in average origination size. The average ExtraCash size in September was $213, reflecting the impact of CashAI v5.5.
