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 third quarter and nine months
ended 2024.
For additional information, view Pagaya's third quarter 2024
letter to shareholders here.
"We delivered another set of strong results, with a laser-focus
on profitable, sustainable growth,” said Gal Krubiner, co-founder
and CEO of Pagaya Technologies. “With successful execution of our
2024 strategy, we are well on the way to reaching GAAP
profitability and cash flow generation during 2025. We have built a
franchise that we believe can deliver long-term value for our
shareholders, lending and funding partners, and U.S.
consumers."
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2023 and on a
year-over-year basis unless otherwise stated.
- Network volume of $2.4 billion (in line with outlook of $2.3
billion to $2.5 billion) grew by 11% year-over-year.
- Continued to grow volumes with existing partners and advance
our sales pipeline. Growth of existing partners led to personal
loan network volume growth of 15% and point-of-sale (“POS”) network
volume growth of 67% year-over-year. The onboarding of a top 5 bank
by total assets in our POS vertical continues to progress. Elavon,
U.S. Bank’s POS business, is now live on the Pagaya network.
- Record total revenue and other income of $257 million (in
line with outlook of $250 million to $260 million) increased by
21% year-over-year, driven by a 24% increase in revenue from
fees.
- GAAP operating income of $22 million grew by $22 million
year-over-year.
- Record fee generation and operating leverage as we drive
profitable growth. FRLPC as a % of network volume reached a
record 4.3%, reflecting the growing value we are delivering for our
lending partners. Ongoing operating leverage is enhancing
flow-through of fees to our bottom-line, with core operating
expenses as a % of FRLPC reaching its lowest level since the
Company went public, at 52%.
- Net loss attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $67
million was impacted by non-cash items such as fair value
adjustments and share-based compensation expense.
- Record adjusted EBITDA of $56 million (in line with
outlook of $50 million to $60 million) grew $28 million
year-over-year, with Adjusted EBITDA margin up 846 basis points to
21.8%.
- Adjusted net income of $33 million, which excludes the
impact of non-cash items such as share-based compensation expense
and fair value adjustments, grew by $19 million
year-over-year.
- Reached our lowest risk retention level in 2 years, at
2-3% of network volume by the end of the third quarter, as the
result of structural improvements in our ABS program and broadening
our funding sources to capital-efficient channels such as forward
flow, pass-through certificate programs, and managed funds.
- Announced transactions to de-risk the balance sheet and
reduce interest expense, by refinancing high-cost borrowings
and unlocking additional balance sheet liquidity of up to $100
million in the form of excess cash and the release of high-quality
collateral.
- Cash flow from operating activities of ($2) million was
impacted by one-time items.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the unaudited financial information and data contained
in this press release and Form 8-K, such as Fee Revenue Less
Production Costs (“FRLPC”), FRLPC as a percentage of network volume
(or FRLPC %), 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 as a percentage of network volume
(or FRLPC %), 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 as a percentage of network volume (or FRLPC %).
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 as a percentage of
network volume (or FRLPC %) 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 income tax expense (benefit).
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 FRLPC, FRLPC as a percentage of network volume (or
FRLPC %), 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 FRLPC, FRLPC as a
percentage of network volume (or FRLPC %), 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 fourth quarter of
2024 and the fiscal year 2024 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company
cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Loss
Attributable to Pagaya under “Full-Year 2024 Financial 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.
