MoneyLion Inc. ("MoneyLion") (NYSE:ML), the go-to destination for personalized financial content, products and advice, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. MoneyLion will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today. An earnings presentation and link to the webcast are available at investors.moneylion.com.

"In the third quarter, we delivered another quarter of record results," said Dee Choubey, co-founder and CEO of MoneyLion. "We reported our seventh consecutive quarter of triple-digit Adjusted Revenue growth, while further improving our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third consecutive quarter."

Choubey continued, "In a challenging and complex macroeconomic environment, we continue to execute quarter after quarter, demonstrating the durability of our business model. We remain focused on optimizing our cost structure and focusing our investments on high-quality areas of our business that position us to take market share for the long run. As we look ahead, the resiliency of our business and our visibility into our path to profitability gives us confidence in our ability to position the company for profitable growth in 2023."

"Our record third quarter Adjusted Revenue was in line with our guidance. While macroeconomic conditions have led to an increase in consumer demand for financial products, it has also led to a reduction in advertising spend across the industry in which our Enterprise customers operate. As a result, we are revising our full-year 2022 guidance and the timing of our Adjusted EBITDA breakeven target. We now expect full-year 2022 Adjusted Revenue of $320-$330 million and Adjusted EBITDA of ($70) - ($65) million. Despite these industry-wide headwinds, we continue to believe our balance sheet provides more than adequate runway through our near-term profitability and future growth goals," said Rick Correia, MoneyLion's Chief Financial Officer.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding, among other things, MoneyLion's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects and growth strategies. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of MoneyLion's management, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and are not predictions of actual performance. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of MoneyLion. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, among other things, factors relating to the business, operations and financial performance of MoneyLion, including market conditions and global and economic factors beyond MoneyLion's control, including the COVID-19 pandemic; intense and increasing competition in the industries in which MoneyLion and its subsidiaries, including Malka Media Group LLC ("MALKA") and Even Financial Inc. ("Even Financial"), operate, and demand for and consumer confidence in MoneyLion's products and services, including as a result of any adverse publicity concerning MoneyLion; MoneyLion's ability to realize strategic objectives and avoid difficulties and risks of any acquisitions, strategic investments, entries into new businesses, joint ventures, divestitures and other transactions; MoneyLion's reliance on third parties to provide services; MoneyLion's ability to service loans or advances properly and the performance of the loans and other receivables originated through MoneyLion's platform; MoneyLion's ability to raise financing in the future, to comply with restrictive covenants related to its long-term indebtedness and to manage the effects of changes in the cost of capital; MoneyLion's success in retaining or recruiting, or changing as required, its officers, key employees and directors, including its and MALKA's ability to retain content creators; MoneyLion's ability to comply with the extensive and evolving laws and regulations applicable to its business; risks related to the proper functioning of MoneyLion's IT systems and data storage, including as a result of cyberattacks and other security breaches or disruptions suffered by MoneyLion or third parties upon which it relies; MoneyLion's ability to protect its intellectual property rights; MoneyLion's ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to its business and the outcome of any legal or governmental proceedings that are or may in the future be instituted against MoneyLion; MoneyLion's ability to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting; and MoneyLion's ability to maintain the listing of MoneyLion's Class A common stock and of MoneyLion's publicly traded warrants to purchase MoneyLion Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange and any volatility in the market price of MoneyLion's securities. There may be additional risks that MoneyLion presently knows or that MoneyLion currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect MoneyLion's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. MoneyLion anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while MoneyLion may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, MoneyLion specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing MoneyLion's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). MoneyLion management uses these non-GAAP measures for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. MoneyLion believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide relevant and useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MoneyLion's results of operations. MoneyLion's method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MoneyLion does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. MoneyLion management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MoneyLion's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review MoneyLion's financial statements, which are included in MoneyLion's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate MoneyLion's business.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are set forth below. To the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which could be material based on historical adjustments. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Definitions:

Adjusted Revenue: A non-GAAP measure, defined as total revenues, net plus amortization of loan origination costs less provision for loss on subscription receivables, provision for loss on fees receivables and revenue derived from phased out products.

Adjusted Gross Profit: A non-GAAP measure, defined as gross profit less revenue derived from phased out products.

Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense related to corporate debt, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, change in fair value of warrants, change in fair value of subordinated convertible notes, change in fair value of contingent consideration from mergers and acquisitions, stock-based compensation and one-time expenses less origination financing cost of capital.

Total Customers: Defined as the cumulative number of customers that have opened at least one account, including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan, cash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency account and customers that are monetized through our marketplace and affiliate products. Total Customers also include customers that have submitted for, received or clicked on at least one marketplace loan offer. Previously, Total Customers included all customers that submitted for or clicked on an offer through our marketplace but were not necessarily monetized, which we changed beginning in the third quarter of 2022 in order to more accurately reflect management's view of our customers. Total Customers for all prior periods have been recast to present the updated definition of Total Customers.

Total Products: Defined as the total number of products that our Total Customers have opened, including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan, cash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency account and monetized marketplace and affiliate products, as well as customers who signed up for our financial tracking services (with either credit tracking enabled or external linked accounts), whether or not the customer is still registered for the product. Total Products also include marketplace loan offers that our Total Customers have submitted for, received or clicked on through our marketplace. If a customer has funded multiple secured personal loans or cash advances or opened multiple products through our marketplace, it is only counted once for each product type. Previously, Total Products included all products for which our Total Customers submitted or clicked on an offer but were not necessarily monetized, which we changed beginning in the third quarter of 2022 in order to more accurately reflect management's view of our products. Total Products for all prior periods have been recast to present the updated definition of Total Products.

Total Originations: Defined as the dollar volume of the secured personal loans originated and cash advances funded within the stated period.

Enterprise Partners: Composed of Product Partners and Channel Partners. Product Partners are financial institutions and financial service providers. Channel Partners are organizations that allow us to reach a wide base of consumers, including but not limited to news sites, content publishers, product comparison sites and financial institutions.
