Annual Financial Highlights ($ in millions, unaudited)

*Non-GAAP measures. See reconciliation of non-GAAP measures at the end of the press release.

Liquidity Summary

The Company had $91.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024, compared to $76.7 million as of September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to free cash flow generation offset by an increase in the ExtraCash receivables balance. The Company did not increase utilization of its credit facility during the quarter.

2025 Financial Guidance ($ in millions)

*Non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of the reconciling items, including interest expense, investment income, and loss provision, among others. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Dave’s CFO, Kyle Beilman, commented: “Our 2025 guidance reflects the tailwind created by our new fee structure as well as our ongoing commitment to driving sustainable and profitable growth. As we progress through the first quarter, we anticipate the typical seasonal softness in demand for ExtraCash as tax refunds provide important liquidity to our members. Our focus remains on expanding ARPU, leaning into our banking offering, further strengthening member retention and expanding member lifetime value. Given our growth trajectory, strong variable margins and the scalability of our business model, we expect to drive another record year of performance in 2025.”

Beilman added, “Yesterday we announced the completion of our strategic partnership with Coastal Community Bank to serve as Dave’s sponsor bank for its ExtraCash and banking products. We selected Coastal based on their customer-first mission, deep knowledge across both credit and banking products, strong risk management, and our shared ambition to drive innovation and continue leveling the financial playing field for everyday Americans.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA (loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is adjusted from results based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and excludes certain expenses, gains and losses. The Company defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Dave before the impact of interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and adjusted to exclude non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, stock-based compensation expense and certain other non-core items. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP variable operating expenses as operating expenses excluding non-variable operating expenses. The Company defines non-variable operating expenses as all advertising and marketing operating expenses, compensation and benefits operating expenses, and certain operating expenses (legal, rent, technology/infrastructure, depreciation, amortization, charitable contributions, other operating expenses, upfront Member account activation costs and upfront Dave Banking expenses). The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP variable profit as GAAP Operating Revenues, Net less non-GAAP variable operating expenses.

The Company defines and calculates adjusted net income (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, and certain other non-core items.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to the user in assessing our operating performance and facilitate an alternative comparison among fiscal periods. The Company’s management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The methods the Company uses to compute these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
