WM Technology Inc (MAPS) Share Price

The SEC does:

1. These proceedings arise from WM Technology’s untrue and misleading reporting of “monthly active users,” or “MAU.” WM Technology is a public company that operates an online marketplace connecting cannabis users with cannabis businesses. Respondent became a public company through a June 2021 de-SPAC transaction. Until August 2022, WM Technology publicly reported only one metric that measured the strength of the consumer, or user, activity on its online marketplace: MAU, which WM Technology described as a “key operating” metric in its periodic filings with the Commission. Both during the de-SPAC transaction and after WM Technology became public, WM Technology misleadingly reported substantial and continued MAU growth and emphasized the strength and growth of its user base in its public filings and earnings calls.

2. When reporting MAU publicly, WM Technology described “monthly active users” as the number of unique users opening the WM Technology mobile app or accessing the WM Technology website during the course of a calendar month, and further explained that the number of MAU was determined by counting the total number of users that had “engaged with” the company’s website during the final calendar month of the given period. In truth, a large and increasing percentage of the users of the WM Technology site were instead persons who visited a third-party site, and who were then automatically shown the WM Technology site by way of a “pop under advertisement (which appeared under their browser windows). Consequently, these purportedly “active” users did not volitionally seek out the WM Technology site, and, in most instances, they took no action whatsoever on the site. Despite the reported growth in MAU, WM
Technology’s user engagement metrics were stagnant or declining. WM Technology’s former chief executive officer and its former chief financial officer were advised of the declining user trends on the WM Technology site and the fact that these non-engaging users were making up an increasingly large percentage of WM Technology’s total MAU. They understood that only a very small percentage of users acquired by pop-under ads actually interacted with the site, and were told that WM Technology was using paid traffic, and pop-under ads specifically, to hit MAU targets. WM Technology’s former CEO and former CFO failed, however, to reasonably follow up on this
accelerating trend, failed to disclose that the calculation of MAUs included an increasing percentage of non-engaging users whose only contact with the site consisted of having a pop-under ad open on their device, and negligently continued to sign WM Technology’s SEC filings and make public statements that reported inflated MAU numbers touting the company’s growing user base.

3. Based on the foregoing and the conduct described below, WM Technology violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Sections 13(a) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, 13a-15(a), and 14a-9 thereunder.

WM Technology, Inc. (“WM Technology” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MAPS), a leading technology and software infrastructure provider to the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Our second quarter results reflect the positive changes we have made to our business over the past few quarters and our commitment to returning to positive cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Doug Francis, Executive Chair of WM Technology. “We continue to strengthen our financial position, and we’re seeing the strategic and operational changes we’ve implemented take hold, delivering increased value to our stakeholders which in turn will generate long-term, sustainable growth and profitability for WM Technology. It’s imperative that we continue to develop and deliver valuable products and services for our clients, ensuring Weedmaps is the best destination for consumers to discover and order cannabis through participating retailers. While there is more to do, I am proud of the progress we have made to date.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

Revenue was $50.9 million as compared to $58.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 (“prior year period”).
Average monthly paying clients(1) was 5,609, as compared to 5,537 from the prior year period.
Average monthly revenue per paying client(2) was $3,022, as compared to $3,509 from the prior year period.
Net income was $2.0 million as compared to net income of $19.8 million from the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $10.2 million as compared to $(0.6) million from the prior year period.
Basic and diluted net income per share were both $0.01 based on 92.9 million and 93.6 million of Class A Common Stock weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.
Total shares outstanding across Class A and Class V Common Stock were 148.9 million as of June 30, 2023.
Cash totaled $24.6 million as of June 30, 2023, with no debt.
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures have been provided in the tables included in this release.

______________________________

Average monthly paying clients are defined as the average of the number of paying clients billed in a month across a particular period (and for which services were provided).
Average monthly revenue per paying client is defined as the average monthly revenue for any particular period divided by the average monthly paying clients in the same respective period.
For further information about how we calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as well as limitations of their use and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), see “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below.
Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 8, 2023, WM Technology is issuing guidance for the third quarter of 2023 as follows:

Revenue is estimated to be $47 million
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA(1) is estimated to be approximately $4 million.
The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable as of the date of this release. We are not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) without unreasonable effort. This guidance assumes that no business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded in the period. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. We undertake no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Independent Registered Accounting Firm

As previously reported, on June 8, 2023, the Company was notified by Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”), of its decision to resign as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company due to staffing constraints within Baker Tilly. The resignation is effective immediately following the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

On August 2, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Moss Adams’ engagement is effective immediately following the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
