Establishes 2026 Outlook Reflecting Revenue Growth of 25% - 28% with Expanding Adj. EBITDA Margins

Increases Share Repurchase Authorization from $125 Million to $300 Million

LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dave Inc. ("Dave" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DAVE), one of the nation's leading neobanks, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We closed 2025 with another record quarter, marking our third consecutive period of 60%+ year-over-year revenue growth," said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. "We once again demonstrated the durability of our growth algorithm, as ARPU expanded 36% year-over-year and monthly transacting members ("MTMs") accelerated 19%. Our 2.9 million MTMs are still a small fraction of what we estimate to be the overall 185 million customer TAM, and we believe we're still early in our journey to drive incremental ARPU through underwriting enhancements, ExtraCash features and pricing, and new credit products. These factors give us tremendous confidence that we can continue to deliver strong growth for many years to come.

"Powered by CashAI v5.5 of our underwriting engine, we reduced our 28-day past due rate significantly even as originations grew by 50%. This combination of delivering what we believe are the most competitive credit offers for our members while generating strong and improving unit economics creates an increasingly powerful moat around our business.

"We have entered 2026 in a position of great strength. Regardless of the broader macroeconomic environment, we believe we are very well-positioned to continue scaling profitably."

Liquidity Summary

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $123.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments, and restricted cash, compared to $93.6 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase is largely due to higher free cash flow generation, partially offset by higher receivables balances and $11.8 million in share repurchases. The Company did not increase utilization of its credit facility during the quarter.

2026 Financial Guidance ($ in millions)
	FY 2026
GAAP Operating Revenues, Net	$690 - $710
Year-Over-Year Growth	25% - 28%
Adjusted EBITDA*	$290 - $305
Adjusted EPS (Diluted)*	$14.00 - $15.00

*Non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of the reconciling items, including interest expense, investment income, and loss provision, among others. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Dave's CFO and COO, Kyle Beilman, commented: "Q4 results reflect continued improvement in our unit economics. Average ExtraCash origination size grew 20% year-over-year, and net monetization rate reached a record 4.8%. As a result, gross profit payback periods improved further to under four months. Looking ahead, our 2026 outlook reflects continued execution against our baseline medium term growth algorithm of mid-teens MTM growth and low double digit ARPU expansion. We have a disciplined growth strategy in place, balancing strong profitability with investments in new product development and go-to-market capabilities that we believe will drive future growth. We expect to continue expanding annual Adj. EBITDA margins, given strong revenue flow-through to Adj. EBITDA, which exceeded 60% in Q4."

Beilman added, "With strong conversion of Adj. EBITDA into free cash flow, combined with our year-end cash position and the incremental liquidity expected from our Coastal Community Bank funding arrangement mid-year, our forecasted total cash for the year represents a meaningful double-digit percentage of our current enterprise value. This liquidity should provide significant flexibility to execute on our capital allocation priorities, including significant, opportunistic share repurchases under our new $300 million authorization, while continuing to invest in profitable growth."

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains references to adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, and adjusted net income per share (basic and diluted) of Dave, which are adjusted from results based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. The Company defines and calculates adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income before the impact of interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted to exclude non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, stock-based compensation expense, discretionary or non-recurring income, gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, changes in fair value of earnout liability and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities. The Company defines and calculates variable operating expenses as provision for credit losses, processing and servicing costs and financial network and transaction costs. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP operating revenues, net excluding variable operating expenses. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP gross profit margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of GAAP operating revenues, net. The Company defines and calculates adjusted net income as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, discretionary or non-recurring income, the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, the tax impact related to the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, the tax impact related to the release of the valuation allowance, changes in fair value of earnout liability and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP adjusted net income per share - basic and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share - diluted as adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares of common stock-basic and weighted average shares of common stock-diluted, respectively.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to the user in assessing our operating performance and facilitate an alternative comparison among fiscal periods. The Company's management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The methods the Company uses to compute these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Refer to the section further below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.
