"We continue to focus on improving cash flow and profitability, and we made significant progress in the third quarter, highlighted by a 190% increase in cash flow from operations over Q2," said Greg Feller, President & CFO. "These efforts allowed us to raise the adjusted EBITDA outlook for this fiscal year and position the company for significant adjusted EBITDA growth as we look out to 2025. Specifically, we expect to generate adjusted EBITDA of $10 to $12 million in fiscal 2025 and, importantly, we now expect to turn positive adjusted net income for 2025. This would be the first time in Mogo’s history to be positive on this measure, which we consider a significant milestone and the final step before turning net income positive."

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement the IFRS financial measures contained herein by providing further metrics to understand the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss and Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Our management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. For more information, please see "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended September 30, 2024, which is available at www.sedarplus.com and at www.sec.gov.

The following tables present a reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure.
