Exceeded second quarter guidance on all metrics:

Record Network Volume of $1.96 billion
Total Revenue and Other Income grew 8% year-over-year to $195.6 million
Adjusted EBITDA grew by 255% to $17.5 million

Raises outlook ranges for full-year 2023 Network Volume and Adjusted EBITDA

Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:PGY) ("Pagaya", the "Company" or "we"), a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, today announced financial results for the second quarter and the first half of 2023 and provided its third quarter 2023 and full-year 2023 outlook.

For additional information, Pagaya's inaugural letter to shareholders can be accessed here.

"We delivered another strong quarter while advancing our core mission to connect more people to financial opportunity," said Gal Krubiner, co-founder and CEO of Pagaya Technologies. "Network volume reached a record-high as we continued to achieve consistent results for our lending partners and investors. We drove sustainable gains in profitability through increased monetization of our network and cost discipline. With continued momentum in our business, we are raising our network volume and adjusted EBITDA outlook for the year."

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2022 and on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise stated.

Network volume grew to $1.96 billion (exceeding outlook of $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion), driven primarily by growth of the Company's personal loan vertical and supported by new partners in auto and point-of-sale, partially offset by a continued low conversion rate of application volume across the portfolio.
The Company raised $3.1 billion across seven asset-backed securitizations in the first half of the year and was once again the number one personal loan ABS issuer in the US by issuance size in the second quarter.
Total revenue and other income increased 8% to $195.6 million (exceeding outlook of $180 million to $190 million), primarily due to higher revenue from fees, which grew by 14% and comprised approximately 95% of total revenue and other income.
Revenue from fees less production costs ("FRLPC") increased 12% to $65.1 million. FRLPC as a percentage of network volume ("FRLPC margin") was 3.3%, in line with the Company's target range of 3-4% of network volume.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 255% to $17.5 million (exceeding outlook of $5 million to $10 million), driven primarily by higher FRLPC and cost efficiencies.
Adjusted net income of $0.9 million, which excludes share-based compensation expense, a change in fair value of warrant liability and non-recurring expenses.
Net loss attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $31.3 million, from $175.3 million in the prior year, due to the continued improvement in operating results and a reduction in non-cash expenses such as share-based compensation expense.

Third Quarter 2023 Outlook

		3Q23
Network Volume		Expected to be between $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion
Total Revenue and Other Income		Expected to be between $190 million and $200 million
Adjusted EBITDA		Expected to be between $10 million and $20 million

Full-Year 2023 Outlook

The Company is raising its outlook for Network Volume and Adjusted EBITDA and maintaining its outlook for Total Revenue and Other Income:

		FY23
Network Volume		Expected to be between $7.6 billion and $8.1 billion

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the unaudited financial information and data contained in this press release and Form 6-K, such as Fee Revenue Less Production Costs ("FRLPC"), FRLPC Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss), have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures FRLPC, FRLPC Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and to enhance the overall understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To address these limitations, management provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya's shareholders and a calculation of FRLPC and FRLPC Margin. Management encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with its respective related GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:

Fee Revenue Less Production Costs ("FRLPC") is defined as revenue from fees less production costs. FRLPC margin is defined as FRLPC divided by Network Volume.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.'s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.'s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, interest expense, depreciation expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

These items are excluded from our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA measures because they are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, is not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA because these are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, this non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP amount.

In addition, Pagaya provides outlook for the third quarter and fiscal year 2023 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya under "Third Quarter 2023 Outlook" and "Full-Year 2023 Outlook" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income (loss) and other reconciling items are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's U.S. GAAP financial results.
