LOS ANGELES, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dave Inc. ("Dave" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DAVE), one of the nation's leading neobanks, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"It was another standout quarter for Dave as we delivered record-setting performance across key metrics," said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. "Revenue growth accelerated for the third consecutive quarter to the fastest rate in over five years, driven by a step-change in ARPU expansion and continued momentum in Monthly Transacting Member growth. Non-GAAP gross profit rose 78% year‑over‑year, with non-GAAP gross margin expanding over 500 basis points to 70%, in line with prior targets. Operating leverage also scaled meaningfully, leading to record Adjusted EBITDA of $50.9 million, representing a 39% margin. This performance reflects the full-quarter benefit of our new fee structure, continued improvement in member lifetime value and strong execution by our team."

Wilk continued, "Our strong first-half results reinforce our confidence that Dave is firmly on track for another record year. We are once again raising our 2025 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook. We're entering the second half of the year with strong momentum and even greater conviction in our long-term opportunity, as we remain committed to innovation, member value, and long-term shareholder returns."

Liquidity Summary

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $104.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments, and restricted cash, up from $89.7 million as of March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to free cash flow generation, partially offset by an increase in the ExtraCash receivables balance. The Company did not increase utilization of its credit facility during the quarter.

2025 Financial Guidance ($ in millions)

	Prior FY 2025	New FY 2025
GAAP Operating Revenues, Net Year-Over-Year Growth	$460 - $475 33% - 37%	$505 - $515 46% - 48%
Adjusted EBITDA* Year-Over-Year Growth	$155 - $165 79% - 91%	$180 - $190 108% - 120%

*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 & COO, Kyle Beilman, commented: "Q2 showcased the continued strength of our unit economics and the capital efficiency of our platform. Member lifetime value has improved meaningfully, driven by stronger monetization and conversion as well as sustained retention under our new fee model. Additionally, we fully rolled out our new subscription fee of $3 per month to all new members. These enhancements have made our growth model more efficient, reducing estimated gross profit-derived CAC payback periods to 4 months, down from approximately 5 months in Q2 of last year. Continued discipline on marketing investment and fixed costs has translated into solid flow-through from non-GAAP gross profit to adjusted EBITDA of approximately 90% over the past few quarters, which should support our profitability trajectory as the business continues to scale.

Beilman added, "Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we completed an amendment to our program agreement with Coastal Community Bank. Through this new arrangement, we expect to move a significant portion of our ExtraCash receivables off balance sheet, which we believe will reduce our direct funding obligations, lower our cost of funds, and unlock substantial liquidity to pursue capital allocation opportunities. While we began acquiring customers onto Coastal last month, we expect to begin transitioning ExtraCash receivables under this new arrangement with Coastal by early next year."

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, 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-variable operating expenses as all advertising and activation costs, compensation and benefits operating expenses, technology and infrastructure costs and other operating expenses (administrative, legal, rent, depreciation, amortization, charitable contributions). 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, 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, 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.
