First Quarter 2025 Highlights

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2024 and on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise stated.

• GAAP net income attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $8 million (exceeding outlook of ($20) million to breakeven) increased by $29 million year-over-year, driven primarily by revenue growth and operational efficiencies.
• Network volume of $2.4 billion (versus our outlook of $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion) roughly flat year-over-year as we continue to focus on profitable growth.
• Record total revenue and other income of $290 million (at the high-end of outlook of $280 million to $295 million) increased by 18% year-over-year, driven by a 19% increase in revenue from fees.
• Revenue from fees less production costs ("FRLPC") of $116 million increased by 26% year-over-year, driven by improved economics in our personal loan and auto verticals.
• The Company raised $1.4 billion across 3 transactions in Q1 and expanded its funding network by 3 new investors, for a total of 135 funding partners, with additional 2 executed so far in Q2.
• Record adjusted EBITDA of $80 million (exceeding outlook of $65 million to $75 million) increased by $40 million compared to the prior year period, benefiting from the growth in FRLPC and operating leverage as the business scales.
• Adjusted net income of $53 million, which excludes the impact of non-cash items such as share-based compensation expense.

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 %(FRLPC divided by Network Volume), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, 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 %, Adjusted Net Income 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 and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya's shareholders and FRLPC to operating income, and a calculation of FRLPC % as FRLPC divided by Network Volume. 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 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 % is defined as FRLPC divided by Network Volume.

Adjusted Net Income 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, change in fair value of contingent 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, change in fair value of contingent 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 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 %, Adjusted Net Income 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 %, Adjusted Net Income 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 Income Attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd. and FRLPC to operating income, in each case the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

In addition, Pagaya provides an outlook for the second quarter and fiscal year 2025 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya under "Full-Year 2025 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.
