"We continue to see rapid growth in our payments business as we onboard new merchants who are passionate about our commitment to economic liberty and technological excellence, and we expect this momentum to carry into the fourth quarter with our robust onboarding pipeline and Christmas shopping activity. Additionally, our credit business remains healthy and is positioned to benefit from these same trends as we exercise the power of our bundled checkout offering. As a result, we are proud to reaffirm our fourth-quarter 2025 and full year 2026 revenue guidance."

"Looking to 2026, we plan to take advantage of significant opportunities to build upon our 2025 success.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

• As of September 30, 2025, PublicSquare had $12.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included $1.3 million related to discontinued operations.
• The Company had an outstanding principal balance of $4.6 million on its $10.0 million revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2025.
• Approximately $1.5 million of cash was utilized in the third quarter 2025 as part of the Company's balance sheet strategy where the Company holds certain consumer receivables from its consumer finance business on its balance sheet to increase revenue potential instead of immediately monetizing them to third parties.

Discontinued Operations

• Net revenues from discontinued operations, which includes the Brands and Marketplace business segments, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $3.9 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period.

Note: Beginning with the third quarter 2025 reporting period both the Brands and Marketplace business segments will be shown as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements until the monetization activities for each segment are concluded. Results from discontinued operations are provided within the financial tables at the end of this release.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK & GUIDANCE

The Company reaffirms its business outlook and guidance provided on September 25, 2025:

• Fourth quarter 2025 revenue is expected to be approximately $6.0 million
  • Payments - $2.4 million
  • Credit - $3.6 million
• Full year 2026 revenue guidance of greater than or equal to $32.0 million
• Operating expense guidance for 2025 - Operating expense (defined as general and administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development expense) is expected to be lower than 2024 reflecting foundational investments and the full impact of organizational changes made in late 2024

Note: Business outlook & guidance excludes discontinued operations.

NON CORE SEGMENT UPDATE

In August 2025 PublicSquare announced plans to monetize its Brands segment business through the sale of EveryLife and monetize its Marketplace segment business through a sale or may strategically repurpose the marketplace IP to complement its fintech offering.

The Company has engaged an investment bank to conduct a robust sales process of its Brands segment business. This process is on target to reach the purchase agreement stage by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Company is continuing to explore a sale or strategic repurposing of its Marketplace segment. The Company will provide updated disclosures as appropriate.

Anticipated proceeds and associated cost savings from these activities are expected to support a leaner operating model, fund fintech product innovation, and accelerate the development of the Company's bundled payments, credit, and consumer financial tools.

We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (ii) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) facilitate external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

For the periods presented, we define non-GAAP operating loss as GAAP operating loss, adjusted to exclude, as applicable, certain expenses as presented in the table below:
