Sezzle Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results
Raising Guidance on Sustained Growth Momentum and Banking Program Launch.

Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL) (Sezzle or Company) // Purpose-driven digital payment platform, Sezzle, is pleased to update the market on key financial metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“This quarter has been transformative for the Company. In addition to outperforming our expectations, we were able to successfully launch a banking program with WebBank,” stated Charlie Youakim, Sezzle Chairman and CEO. “The banking program marks an exciting new chapter for our Company, enabling us to expand access to innovative financial solutions to a broader audience. These developments fuel our optimism as we approach the seasonal year-end holiday period and close out FY2024.”

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
•Underlying Merchant Sales (UMS) jumped 40.6% YoY to reach $659.9 million, exceeding the previous quarterly high recorded in 4Q23. The YoY growth was driven by greater consumer engagement, with overall consumer purchase frequency climbing to 5.4 times in 3Q24 compared to 4.1 times during the same period in 2023.
oThe top 10% of consumers, as measured by UMS, transacted 77 times per year on average during the rolling twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024.
•Fueled by subscriber growth and consumer engagement, Total Revenue increased 71.3% YoY to $70.0 million. Total Revenue as a percentage of UMS reached 10.6%, surpassing the previous all-time high of 10.5% set in 2Q24.
oAs of September 30, 2024, Sezzle had 529,000 Active Subscribers (rounded to the nearest thousand) enrolled across Anywhere and Premium (US and CA).
•In 3Q24, Total Operating Expenses rose 38.4% YoY to $49.1 million. The Company continues to scale efficiently, reflected in a YoY reduction in Total Operating Expenses as a percentage of UMS and Total Revenue by 0.2 and 16.7 percentage points, respectively, to 7.4% and 70.2%.

group1534a.jpg
•Transaction Related Costs1 as a percentage of UMS increased YoY from 4.4% to 4.8%, driven by a higher Provision for Credit Losses associated with the Company’s controlled expansion of underwriting. This increase was partially offset by decreases in both Transaction Expense and Net Interest Expense as a percentage of UMS.
•Non-transaction Related Operating Expenses1 rose 11.0% YoY to $21.0 million, however, as a percentage of Total Revenue, Non-transaction Related Operating Expenses reached a new Company low, declining 16.2 percentage points YoY to 30.0%. This improvement underscores the Company’s commitment to top-line growth while optimizing operating efficiency.
•The Company’s management of operating expenses and top-line growth led to a 289.6% YoY increase in Operating Income in 3Q24, reaching a new high of $20.8 million. This represents a 16.7 percentage point increase in Operating Margin to 29.8% in 3Q24 from 13.1% in 3Q23.
•Total Revenue Less Transaction Related Costs1 improved 91.5% YoY to $38.5 million. As a percentage, the metric reached 5.8% of UMS and 55.0% of Total Revenue, marking increases of 1.5 and 5.8 percentage points, respectively, over the prior year.
•Net Income reached $15.4 million, resulting in Net Income per Diluted Share of $2.62 for 3Q24, compared to $0.23 for 3Q23. Net Income as a percentage of Total Revenue was 22.1%, an 18.9 percentage point increase from the prior comparable period in 2023.
oAdjusted Net Income1 for the quarter totaled $17.3 million, representing 24.7% of Total Revenue and setting a new quarterly high. Per Diluted Share, Adjusted Net Income equated to $2.92, compared to $0.21 in 3Q231.
•For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA1 was at $22.5 million, amounting to 32.2% of Total Revenue, resulting in a 13.7 percentage point gain from the prior comparable period in 2023.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
•As of September 30, 2024, Sezzle had $88.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $8.3 million of which was restricted.
•The Company had an outstanding principal balance of $95.0 million on its $150.0 million credit facility as of the quarter end.

Initiatives Update
•On August 26, 2024, Sezzle announced it entered a five-year banking program with WebBank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank. The banking program launched at the end of September 2024, with WebBank serving as the exclusive lender to originate certain finance products (i.e., Pay-in-4 and Pay-in-2). The Company expects several benefits from its partnership with WebBank, including unified fees, a more streamlined regulatory framework, and opportunities for future product innovations.
•At the end of September, Sezzle began to test On-Demand selectively, followed by a broader roll out in October. On-Demand, Sezzle’s first product by WebBank, provides consumers the flexibility to Pay-in-4 wherever Visa is accepted. Consumers simply request a single-use purchase amount and, upon approval, pay the 25% downpayment plus a service fee at the point of purchase. Sezzle On-Demand is currently available to select US consumers but is expected to gradually expand to a broader base of consumers in the coming months.
•On August 12, 2024, Sezzle was named the Official Jersey Patch Partner of the Minnesota Timberwolves as a part of a multi-year partnership. The partnership is inclusive of the Minnesota Lynx and entails prominent in-arena signage, in-game & on-court promotions, community events, concourse activations, and digital content.

oAdjusted Net Income per Diluted Share2: $9.80 versus $6.75 provided with 2Q24 earnings.

Investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when we establish reserves for one or more contingencies. Also, our regular reserve reviews may result in adjustments of varying magnitude as additional information regarding claims activity becomes known. Reported results, therefore, may be volatile in certain accounting periods.

The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of these statements. The Company's business is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including those referenced above. Investors, potential investors, and others should give careful consideration to these risks and uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our operating results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Total revenue less transaction related costs; transaction related costs; non-transaction related operating expenses; adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) margin; adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and summaries of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to the Company and investors are as follows:
•Total revenue less transaction related costs is defined as GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs. Transaction related costs is the sum of GAAP transaction expense, provision for credit losses, and net interest expense less certain non-recurring charges as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs above. We believe that total revenue less transaction related costs is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating the economic value of orders processed on the Sezzle Platform;
•Non-transaction related operating expenses is defined as the sum of GAAP personnel; third-party technology and data; marketing, advertising, and tradeshows; and general and administrative operating expenses. We believe that non-transaction related operating expenses is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating our management of operating expenses not directly attributable to orders processed on the Sezzle Platform.



Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL) | sezzle.com | 700 Nicollet Mall, Suite 640, Minneapolis, MN 55402

group1534a.jpg
•Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain non-cash and non-recurring charges including depreciation, amortization, equity and incentive–based compensation, and merger-related costs, as well as net interest expense as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business’ unit economics by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
•Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain charges including the release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, fair value adjustments on warrants, losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, and other income and expense, as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted net income (loss). We believe that this financial measure is useful for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
•Adjusted net income (loss) margin is defined as Adjusted net income (loss) divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
•Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share is defined as non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) divided by GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of shareholder return by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.

Additionally, we have included these non-GAAP measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, guide future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of resources. Therefore, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and other users of this press release to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered supplemental in nature, and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:

•Total revenue less transaction-related costs is not intended to be measures of operating profit or cash flow profitability as they exclude key operating expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
•Transaction related costs exclude significant expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
•Non-transaction related operating expenses exclude significant expenses, including transaction expense and provision for credit losses, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
•Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, and equity and incentive–based compensation, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, recurring GAAP expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant cash inflows and outflows, which have a significant impact on our working capital and cash.
•Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin excludes net interest expense, which has a significant impact on our GAAP net income, working capital, and cash.
•Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) margin, and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share excludes certain charges such as losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, fair value adjustments on our warrants, other income and expense, and the release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance which have been, and may be in the future, recurring GAAP expenses.
•Long-lived assets being depreciated or amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the capital expenditures needed for such replacements, or for any new capital expenditures or commitments.
•These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
•Non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. We encourage you to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
