Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and should be read in conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The Company presents its interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position on a non-classified basis in order of liquidity.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to be issued on November 9, 2023.

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due in the normal course.

Management routinely plans future activities which includes forecasting future cash flows. Management has reviewed their plan and has collectively formed a judgment that the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which management has defined as being at least the next 12 months. In arriving at this judgment, management has considered the following: (i) cash flow projections of the

company, which incorporates a rolling forecast and detailed cash flow modeling through the next 12 months from the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and (ii) the base of investors and debt lenders historically available to the Company. The expected cash flows have been modeled based on anticipated revenue and profit streams with debt programmed into the model. Refer to Notes 7, 8, and 16 for details on amounts that may come due in the next 12 months.

For these reasons, the Company continues to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.
Significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Except as described below, the critical accounting estimates and judgments have been set out in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

a)
Leases

 

Subleases

For subleases classified as a finance lease, the Company de-recognizes the right-of-use asset relating to the head lease and recognizes a net investment in the sublease. Any difference between the right-of-use asset and the net investment in the finance sublease is recognized in profit or loss. The Company measures the net investment in the finance lease at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments of the underlying right-of-use asset. The net investment in the finance lease is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

New and amended standards and interpretations

Certain new or amended standards and interpretations became effective on January 1, 2023, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not adopted any standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Loans receivable

 

Loans receivable represent unsecured installment loans and lines of credit advanced to customers in the normal course of business. Current loans are defined as loans to customers with terms of one year or less, while non-current loans are those with terms exceeding one year. The breakdown of the Company’s gross loans receivable as at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

The following table provides a breakdown of gross loans receivable and allowance for loan losses by aging bucket, which represents our assessment of credit risk exposure and by their IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments expected credit loss measurement stage. The entire loan balance of a customer is aged in the same category as its oldest individual past due payment, to align with the stage groupings used in calculating the allowance for loan losses under IFRS 9. Stage 3 gross loans receivable include net balances outstanding and still anticipated to be collected for loans previously charged off and these are carried in gross receivables at the net expected collectible amount with no associated allowance.

In determination of the Company’s allowance for loan losses, internally developed models are used to factor in credit risk related metrics, including the probability of defaults, the loss given default and other relevant risk factors. Management also considered the impact of key macroeconomic factors and determined that historic loan losses are most correlated with unemployment rate, inflation rate, bank prime rate and GDP growth rate. These macroeconomic factors were used to generate various forward-looking scenarios used in the calculation of allowance for loan losses. If management were to assign 100% probability to a pessimistic scenario forecast, the allowance for credit losses would have been $1,021 higher than the reported allowance for credit losses as at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $1,222 higher).

Credit facility

The credit facility consists of a $60,000 senior secured credit facility maturing on July 2, 2025. The credit facility is subject to variable interest rates that reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or under certain conditions, the Federal Funds Rate in effect. On December 16, 2021, the Company amended its credit facility to lower the effective interest rate from a maximum of LIBOR plus 9% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%) to LIBOR plus 8% with no floor, which was updated in June 2023, following the cessation of the USD LIBOR publication, to SOFR plus 8% with no floor. There is a 0.33% fee on the available but undrawn portion of the $60,000 facility. The principal and interest balance outstanding for the credit facility as at September 30, 2023 was $47,007 (December 31, 2022 – $46,180). Refer to Note 16 for details on the reform of major interest rate benchmarks.

 

The credit facility is subject to certain covenants and events of default. As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Interest expense on the credit facility for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $1,521 and $4,469, respectively (September 30, 2022 – $1,305 and $3,277 respectively) is included in credit facility interest expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Company has provided its senior lenders with a general security interest in all present and after acquired personal property of the Company, including certain pledged financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents.

 

 

8.
Debentures

 

The Company's debentures with maturity dates of July 2, 2025 pay interest at a coupon rate between 8 - 10% per annum. Payments of interest and principal are made to debenture holders on a quarterly basis on the first business day following the end of a calendar quarter, at the Company's option either in cash or Common shares.

9.
Derivative financial liabilities

 

On February 24, 2021, in connection with a registered direct offering, the Company issued stock warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 891,089 Common Shares at an exercise price of US$33.00 at any time prior to three and a half years following the date of issuance.

 

On December 13, 2021, as part of a registered direct offering, the Company issued stock warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,018,519 Common Shares at an exercise price of US$14.10 at any time prior to three and a half years following the date of issuance.

 

The stock warrants are classified as a liability under IFRS by the sole virtue of their exercise price being denominated in USD. As such, the warrants are subject to revaluation under the Black Scholes model at each reporting date, with gains and losses recognized to the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The stock warrants are classified as a derivative liability, and not equity, due to the exercise price being denominated in USD, which is different than the Company's functional currency.

Derivative financial liabilities (Continued from previous page)

 

In the event that these warrants are fully exercised, the Company would receive cash proceeds of US$43,767, with the balance of the liability reclassified to equity at that time. If the warrants were to expire unexercised, then the liability would be extinguished through a gain in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Investment accounted for using the equity method

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company completed its strategic investment in Coinsquare Ltd. (“Coinsquare”), one of Canada’s leading digital asset trading platforms, pursuant to which Mogo acquired 12,518,473 Coinsquare common shares.

On July 10, 2023, Coinsquare, WonderFi Technologies Inc. ("WonderFi") and CoinSmart Financial Inc. ("CoinSmart") completed a business combination to merge their respective businesses. Before the execution of the WonderFi Transaction, Mogo received 1,353,770 shares of FRNT Financial Inc and 89,429 shares of Mogo from Coinsquare. As part of the transaction, Mogo exchanged its 12,518,473 shares in Coinsquare for 86,962,640 shares of WonderFi. Immediately prior to the transaction Mogo owned 34% of Coinsquare. Following the closing of the transaction, Mogo owns approximately 14% of the combined company, which is traded on the TSX under the ticker WNDR.TO. In addition, as Mogo has less than 20% ownership of WonderFi, the Company no longer has significant influence over its investment such that it has changed the classification of its investment from investment in associate accounted for using the equity method to investment measured at fair value through profit and loss. Furthermore, Mogo Technology Inc. ("MTI") is no longer responsible for guaranteeing Coinsquare Capital Markets Ltd's obligations to its clients up to the amount of MTI's regulatory capital.

 

Share of income (loss) in investment accounted for using the equity method was $nil and a loss of $2,972 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (September 30, 2022 – loss of $6,612 and $20,941, respectively).

The Company compared the carrying value of the investment against the fair value amount that was determined using the fair value of considerations in shares received on July 10, 2023 as part of the merger. The fair value amount of the investment in Coinsquare was $16,819 as at July 10, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain upon disposal of its equity method investment in the amount of $97 (September 30, 2022 – nil).

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants which takes place in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performing risk. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position are measured and classified in a hierarchy consisting of three levels for disclosure purposes. The three levels are based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability's classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are derived from quoted prices of similar (but not identical) assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(a) Valuation process

The Company maximizes the use of quoted prices from active markets, when available. A market is regarded as active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Where independent quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses quoted market prices for similar instruments, other third-party evidence or valuation techniques.

The fair value of financial instruments determined using valuation techniques include the use of recent arm’s length transactions and discounted cash flow analysis for investments in unquoted securities, discounted cash flow analysis for derivatives, third-party pricing models or other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants and utilize independent observable market inputs to the maximum extent possible.

The use of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of a financial instrument requires management to make assumptions such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates and incorporate the Company’s estimate of assumptions that a market participant would make when valuing the instruments.

Unrealized exchange gain (loss) for Level 3 investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $193 and $9, respectively (September 30, 2022 – gain of $560 and $672, respectively).

 

Unrealized gain (loss) on investment portfolio for Level 3 investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a gain of $571 and $608, respectively (September 30, 2022 – loss of $912 and $5,248, respectively).

 

The fair value of the Company's current loans receivable, other receivables, and accounts payable, accruals and other approximates its carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's credit facility approximates its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate. The fair value of the Company's debentures was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market interest rates for instruments with similar terms.

 

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

For the fair value of equity securities, reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects.

Nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments

Risk management policy

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from a number of sources. Management’s involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. As a part of the overall operation of the Company, Management takes steps to avoid undue concentrations of risk. The Company manages these risks as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter‑party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s loans receivable. The maximum amount of credit risk exposure is limited to the gross carrying amount of the loans receivable disclosed in these financial statements.

The Company acts as a lender of unsecured consumer loans and lines of credit and has little concentration of credit risk with any particular individual, company or other entity, relating to these services. However, the credit risk relates to the possibility of default of payment on the Company’s loans receivable. The Company performs on‑going credit evaluations, monitors aging of the loan portfolio, monitors payment history of individual loans, and maintains an allowance for loan loss to mitigate this risk.

The credit risk decisions on the Company’s loans receivable are made in accordance with the Company’s credit policies and lending practices, which are overseen by the Company’s senior management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on a credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. The consumer loans receivable is unsecured. The Company develops underwriting models based on the historical performance of groups of customer loans which guide its lending decisions. To the extent that such historical data used to develop its underwriting models is not representative or predictive of current loan book performance, the Company could suffer increased loan losses.

The Company cannot guarantee that delinquency and loss levels will correspond with the historical levels experienced and there is a risk that delinquency and loss rates could increase significantly.

Nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments (Continued from previous page)

Interest rate risk

 

Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily relating to its credit facility that bear interest fluctuating with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The credit facility does not have a SOFR floor. As at September 30, 2023, SOFR is 5.32% (December 31, 2022 – LIBOR 4.32%). The debentures have fixed rates of interest and are not subject to variability in cash flows due to interest rate risk.

 

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks (the "Reform") is being undertaken globally. The USD LIBOR ceased to be published in June 2023 for all USD LIBOR tenors. Management has performed an assessment on the impact of the Reform and has determined that the Company only has exposure to the Reform through its credit facility and the nature of the risks are operational and financial. Operational risk includes ensuring proper contractual terms are in place and engagement with the credit facility lender on the progress and impact of their own transition. Financial risk includes the impact on the economics of the financial instruments.

 

The Company’s accounts payable and accruals are substantially due within 12 months. The maturity schedule of the Company’s credit facility and debentures are described below. Management’s intention is to continue to refinance any outstanding amounts owing under the credit facility and debentures, in each case as they become due and payable. The debentures are subordinated to the credit facility which has the effect of extending the maturity date of the debentures to the later of contractual maturity or the maturity date of credit facility. See Note 7 and 8 for further details.

Equity

 

(a)
Share capital

 

The Company’s authorized share capital is comprised of an unlimited number of Common Shares with no par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in one or more series. The Board is authorized to determine the rights and privileges and number of shares of each series of preferred shares.

 

As of August 14, 2023, Mogo completed a share consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Share Consolidation") at a consolidation ratio of 3-for-1. All references to common shares, warrants, derivative warrant liabilities, stock options, and RSUs have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation.

 

As at September 30, 2023, there were 24,735,806 (December 31, 2022 – 24,992,513) Common Shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 134,502 Common Shares for cancellation under the share repurchase program at an average price of CAD $2.45 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $329. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 254,456 Common Shares for cancellation under the share repurchase programs at an average price of CAD $2.67 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $680.

 

(b)
Treasury share reserve

 

The treasury share reserve comprises the cost of the shares held by the Company. As at September 30, 2023, the Company held 190,706 Common Shares in reserve (December 31, 2022 – 101,272).

(c)
Options

 

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the granting of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The exercise price of an option is set at the time that such option is granted under the Plan. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is the greater of i) 15% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding, and ii) 1,266,667. As a result of a business combination with Mogo Finance Technology Inc. completed on June 21, 2019, there were additional options issued, which were granted pursuant to the Company’s prior stock option plan (the “Prior Plan”). As at September 30, 2023, there are 32,333 of these options outstanding that do not contribute towards the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as described above.

 

 

Each option entitles the holder to receive one Common Share upon exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry. Options issued under the Plan have a maximum contractual term of eight years and options issued under the Prior Plan have a maximum contractual term of ten years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is current as of November 9, 2023, and presents an analysis of the financial condition of Mogo Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Mogo” or the “Company”) as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the corresponding periods in the prior year. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as well as with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. The financial information presented in this MD&A is derived from our interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 21, 2019, in connection with the business combination with Mogo Finance Technology Inc. (“Mogo Finance”). The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, with Mogo Finance as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and this MD&A reflect the continuing financial statements of Mogo Finance.

This MD&A is the responsibility of management. The board of directors of Mogo (the “Board”) has approved this MD&A after receiving the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors, and the Company’s Disclosure Committee.

Unless otherwise noted or the context indicates otherwise “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Mogo” refer to Mogo Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company presents its consolidated financial statements in Canadian dollars. Amounts in this MD&A are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

This MD&A may refer to trademarks, trade names and material which are subject to copyright, which are protected under applicable intellectual property laws and are the property of Mogo. Solely for convenience, our trademarks, trade names and copyrighted material referred to in this MD&A may appear without the ® or © symbol, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to these trademarks, trade names and copyrights. All other trade‑marks used in this MD&A are the property of their respective owners.

The Company’s continuous disclosure materials, including interim filings, audited annual consolidated financial statements, annual information form and annual report on Form 40-F can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, with the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at www.mogo.ca.

This MD&A 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 made 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. We also use 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. See “Key Performance Indicators” and “Non‑IFRS Financial Measures”.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains forward‑looking statements that relate to the Company’s current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward‑looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “outlook”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “indicate”, “seek”, “believe”, “predict” or “likely”, or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward‑looking statements. The Company has based these forward‑looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward‑looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to the Company’s expectations (including our financial outlook) regarding its revenue, expenses and operations, key performance indicators, provision for loan losses (net of recoveries), anticipated cash needs and its need for additional financing, completion of announced transactions, funding costs, ability to extend or refinance any outstanding amounts under the Company’s credit facility, ability to protect, maintain and enforce its intellectual property, plans for and timing of expansion of its product and services, future growth plans, ability to attract new members and develop and maintain existing customers, ability to attract and retain personnel, expectations with respect to advancement of its product offering, competitive position and the regulatory environment in which the Company operates, anticipated trends and challenges in the Company’s business and the markets in which it operates, third‑party claims of infringement or violation of, or other conflicts with, intellectual property rights, the resolution of any legal matters, and the acceptance by the Company’s consumers and the marketplace of new technologies and solutions.

Forward-looking statements, including our financial outlook, are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and we cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Our financial outlook is intended to provide further insight into our expectations for results in 2023 and may not be appropriate for other purposes. This outlook involves numerous assumptions, particularly around member growth and take up of products and services, and we believe it is prepared on a reasonable basis reflecting management’s best estimates and judgements. However, given the inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions, any investors or other users of this document should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Whether actual results, performance or achievements will conform to the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that are discussed in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s current annual information form available at www.sedarplus.ca and at www.sec.gov, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference.

The forward-looking statements made in this MD&A relate only to events or information as of the date of this MD&A and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except as required by law, we do not assume any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this MD&A, including the occurrence of unanticipated events. An investor should read this MD&A with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Mission

The following key corporate changes, transactions and material contracts are referred to, and assist in understanding this MD&A:

 

Business Developments

On July 10, 2023 Mogo announced the closing of the previously announced business combination between Coinsquare Ltd. (“Coinsquare”), CoinSmart Financial Inc., and WonderFi Technologies Inc. (TSX: WNDR) (“WonderFi”). Before the execution of the transaction, Mogo received 1.4 million shares of FRNT Financial Inc and 0.1 million shares of Mogo from Coinsquare. As a result of the transaction, Mogo exchanged its 12.5 million shares in Coinsquare for 87.0 million shares of WonderFi. As at September 30, 2023, Mogo is the largest shareholder of WonderFi, the only fully regulated crypto exchange in Canada, with a 13% ownership stake. Common shares in WonderFi held by Mogo and certain other investors are subject to a lock-up period, with 1/3 of shares released to be freely tradeable in each of January 2024, July 2024 and January 2025.

 

Mogo's digital payment solutions business, Carta Worldwide, processed over $2.4 billion of payments volume in Q3 2023 which was up over 30% compared to Q3 2022.

 

In Q3 2023, the Company’s assets under management increased 18% year-over-year to $331.0 million.

 

In Q3 2023, Mogo continued to focus on increasing the value of its digital wealth platform, with multiple improvements that make it easier for users to chart the right path to long-term wealth building, by avoiding speculative trading and high-fee mutual funds that typically underperform the market. Additionally, Mogo restructured its product engineering teams to better focus on velocity and driving user experience improvements.

 

In October 2023, Mogo continued to build a highly efficient and scalable technology platform and operation while at the same time reducing costs. Mogo entered a multi-year agreement to transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ("OCI") to support the long-term growth of the Company’s digital wealth platform. Carta also announced it selected OCI to accelerate innovation and support future growth.

 

In October 2023, Mogo completed a strategic agreement to transition to Snowflake as the sole data warehouse for its wealth and lending platforms.

 

On August 14, 2023, the Company completed a share consolidation of its share capital on the basis of one post-consolidation common share of Mogo for each three pre-consolidation common shares of Mogo. Following the share consolidation, the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

In March 2023, Mogo amended its marketing collaboration agreement with Postmedia Network Inc. ("Postmedia") and extended the agreement until December 31, 2024. Postmedia is a Canadian news media company representing more than 130 brands across multiple print, online and mobile platforms.

Q3 2023 revenue of $16.2 million, down 6% over the prior year, mainly reflecting the Company’s previously disclosed decision to narrow its strategic focus and exit certain sub-scale and unprofitable products.

 

Q3 2023 gross profit of $11.4 million (70% margin), an increase of $0.6 million compared to $10.8 million (63% margin) in Q3 2022.

 

During Q3 2023, Mogo continued to focus on cost efficiency and improving its cash flow. As a result of these efficiency initiatives, total operating expenses for Q3 2023 decreased by $6.2 million to $12.2 million, or 34%, compared to $18.5 million at Q3 2022. In addition, these efficiency initiatives resulted in an improvement in cash flows from operating activities (before investment in loan portfolio) from negative $1.5 million in Q3 2022 to positive $2.6 million in Q3 2023.

 

Mogo reported a material improvement in adjusted EBITDA, which reached $2.1 million in Q3 2023, compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.8 million in Q3 2022, resulting from both improved gross profit and significantly lower operating expenses compared to the prior period.

 

Adjusted net loss decreased to ($2.6) million in Q3 2023 from ($8.4) million in Q3 2022.

 

Net loss decreased to ($9.5) million in Q3 2023, compared with net loss of ($20.0) million in Q3 2022.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, Mogo repurchased 134,502 of its common shares for cancellation under the NASDAQ share repurchase program and its TSX normal course issuer bid at an average price of CAD $2.45 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $0.3 million.

 

Ended Q3 2023 with cash and total investments of $43.7 million. This included combined cash and restricted cash of $19.3 million and investment portfolio of $24.5 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Mogo members

 

Our total member base grew to 2,077,000 members as at September 30, 2023, from 2,061,000 members as at September 30, 2022, representing an increase of approximately 1% or 16,000 net members. Quarter over quarter, net members increased by 33,000 in Q3 2023. The growth in our member base reflects the continued adoption of our products by new members.

 

Revenue

 

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Total revenue decreased by 6% to $16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $17.3 million in the same period last year. The revenue decrease was primarily a result of the previously announced elimination of sub-scale revenue streams and unprofitable products including MogoCrypto, Moka France, and MogoCard which helped drive an increase in gross profit to $11.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $10.8 million in the same period last year.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Total revenue decreased by 7% to $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $51.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was driven by the same reasons noted above.

Subscription and services revenue

 

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Subscription and services revenue decreased by 9% to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $10.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by the previously announced elimination of sub-scale and unprofitable products including the wind down of MogoCrypto, Moka France and MogoCard.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Subscription and services revenue decreased by 9% to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $31.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease in subscription and services revenue was primarily driven by the same reasons noted above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Net loss

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Net loss was $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease in net loss of $10.5 million compared to net loss of $20.0 million in the same period last year.

 

The variance is driven by the operating efficiency initiatives implemented in 2022 and 2023 that resulted in a $6.2 million reduction in operating expenses, and reductions in non-operating losses including a $6.6 million decrease in our share of Coinsquare’s net comprehensive loss, and a $0.5 million decrease in restructuring expense. This was partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in unrealized loss on the investment portfolio.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Net loss was $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease in net loss of $64.3 million compared to net loss of $90.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net loss was largely driven by operating efficiency initiatives noted above that resulted in a $25.5 million decrease in operating expenses. Additionally, there was a $39.4 million decrease in expenses related to impairment and our share of equity losses in our investment in Coinsquare.

 

Net cash used in operating activities

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $1.4 million compared to $5.6 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily attributed to significant operating expense efficiencies gained in the past year, in addition to gross margin improvement. The decrease in operating expenses was partially offset by an increase in net issuance of loans receivable of $2.6 million.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $18.7 million compared to $25.7 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily attributed to significant operating expense efficiencies gained in the past year, in addition to gross margin improvement.

 

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

 

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $4.9 million improvement from the adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.8 million in the same period last year. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a 5% increase in gross profit and 34% reduction in operating expenditures in Q3 2023 compared to Q3 2022 arising from the realization of cost efficiency initiatives implemented in the last twelve months.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $17.4 million improvement from the adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.5 million in the same period last year. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the same reasons noted above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

 

Adjusted net loss(1)

 

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Adjusted net loss was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $5.8 million improvement compared to an adjusted net loss of $8.4 million in the same period last year. The improvement in adjusted net loss was attributed primarily to the same reasons noted above in the adjusted EBITDA variance and partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in credit facility interest expense due to rising interest rates.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Adjusted net loss was $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $19.3 million improvement compared to an adjusted net loss of $28.6 million in the same period last year. The improvement in adjusted net loss was attributed primarily to the same reasons noted above in the adjusted EBITDA variance and partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in credit facility interest expense due to rising interest rates.

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable(1)

 

Three months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $4.1 million improvement compared to negative $1.5 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily attributed to significant operating expense efficiencies gained in the past year, in addition to gross margin improvements.

 

Nine months ended Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $15.9 million improvement compared to negative $11.1 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily attributed to the same reasons noted above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable are 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. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of 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 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. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non‑IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers.

 

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. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non‑IFRS financial measures versus their nearest IFRS equivalents. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any non‑IFRS financial measure and view it in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. In evaluating these non‑IFRS financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we will continue to incur expenses similar to those adjusted in these non-IFRS financial measures.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net (loss) income before tax excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, credit facility interest expense, debenture and other financing expense, accretion related to debentures, share of loss in investment accounted for using the equity method, revaluation loss (gain), impairment of investment accounted for using the equity method and other non-operating expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and the Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as cash used in operating activities, less net issuance of loans receivables. The Company requires net cash outflows in order to grow its gross loans receivable, which in turn generates future growth in interest revenue. These net cash outflows are presented within the operating activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, whereas the economic benefits are realized over the longer term. Consequently, we consider cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable to be a useful measure in understanding the cash flow trends inherent to our existing scale of operations, by separating out the portion of cash flows related to investment in portfolio growth.

Mogo members

 

Mogo members is not a financial measure. Mogo members refers to the number of individuals who have signed up for one or more of our products and services including: MogoMoney, MogoMortgage, MogoTrade, Moka services, our premium account subscription offerings, unique content, or events. People cease to be Mogo members if they do not use any of our products or services for 12 months and have a deactivated account. Reported Mogo members may overstate the number of unique individuals who actively use our products and services within a 12-month period, as one individual may register for multiple accounts whether inadvertently or in a fraudulent attempt. Customers are Mogo members who have accessed one of our revenue generating products, including MogoMoney, MogoMortgage, MogoTrade, Moka services and our premium account subscription offerings. Management believes that the size of our Mogo member base is one of the key drivers of the Company’s future performance. Our goal is to continue to grow and monetize our member base as we build our digital financial platform, launch new products and strive to build the largest digital financial brand in Canada.

Cost of revenue consists of provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, and transaction costs. Provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, represents the amounts charged against income during the period to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Our allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of the expected credit losses (“ECL”) inherent in our portfolio and is based on various factors including the composition of the portfolio, delinquency levels, historical and current loan performance, expectations of future performance, and general economic conditions.

 

Transaction costs are expenses that relate directly to the onboarding and processing of new customers (excluding marketing), including expenses such as loan system transaction fees, transaction processing costs related to the Carta business and other transaction costs related to Moka and Fortification.

 

Cost of revenue was $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of revenue was $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $4.4 million compared to the same period last year.

 

Provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, has decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in the prior year. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in loan delinquency rates in 2023 compared to 2022, as a result of a combination of higher credit quality loan originations and enhancements to our collections processes in the current year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Transaction costs have decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the realization of cost efficiencies implemented in the current periods.

We believe we are adequately provisioned to absorb reasonably possible future material shocks to the loan book as a result of macroeconomic factors such as inflation and the interest rate environment. Please note that IFRS 9 requires the use of forward-looking indicators when measuring ECL, which can result in upfront recognition of expenses prior to any actual occurrence of a default event. We have applied a probability weighted approach in applying these forward-looking indicators to measure incremental ECL. This approach involved multiple stress scenarios and a range of potential outcomes. Factors considered in determining the range of ECL outcomes include varying degrees of possible length and severity of a recession, the effectiveness of collection strategies implemented to assist customers experiencing financial difficulty, and the level of loan protection insurance held by customers within our portfolio. We will continue to revisit assumptions under this methodology in upcoming quarters as economic conditions evolve.

Technology and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs of our product development, business intelligence, and information technology infrastructure employees. Associated expenses include hosting costs and software licenses, professional services, expenses related to the development of new products and technologies and maintenance of existing technology assets.

 

Technology and development expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $0.7 million compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. Technology and development expenses were $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $1.4 million compared to $9.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to cost efficiency initiatives implemented in 2023.

 

MogoTrade and Moka form the core of our digital wealth platform. We believe our investments in their development will strengthen Mogo’s product service offerings and drive long-term member and revenue growth. Further, we believe that these strategic investments are key to unlocking and integrating the full potential of Mogo’s value proposition to consumers and will create a holistic and comprehensive user experience that positions us to drive long-term growth and user adoption.

Marketing expenses consist of salaries and personnel‑related costs, direct marketing and advertising costs related to online and offline customer acquisition (paid search advertising, search engine optimization costs, and direct mail), public relations, promotional event programs and corporate communications.

 

Marketing expenses were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $1.1 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year. Marketing expenses were $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $8.0 million compared to $10.2 million in the same period last year. During the latter half of 2022 and continuing in 2023, there was a significant reduction in marketing expenses to focus on more efficient marketing channels that drive shorter payback periods.

G&A expenses consist primarily of salary and personnel related costs for our corporate, finance and accounting, credit analysis, underwriting, legal and compliance, fraud detection and human resources employees. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees, insurance, legal fees, occupancy costs, travel and other corporate expenses.

 

G&A expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease is due to various cost efficiency initiatives implemented in 2023.

Stock-based compensation represents the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model and amortized over the vesting period of the options. Depreciation and amortization is principally related to the amortization of intangible assets relating to internally capitalized development costs related to our technology platform, and technology, licenses and customer relationships acquired in the acquisitions of Carta, Moka and Fortification in 2021. Stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization are all non-cash expenses.

 

Stock-based compensation decreased to $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.7 million in the same period last year. Stock-based compensation decreased to $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease in stock-based compensation is driven by options granted in 2023 having a lower grant date fair value compared to grants in 2022 such that graded vesting of these options has resulted in a decrease in expense.

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.1 million in the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $9.5 million in the same period last year. The decreases are driven by lower amortization of intangible assets in the current period as a result of the impairment of legacy MogoApp and MogoCard related intangible assets in Q4 2022, along with the impairment of MogoCrypto related intangible assets in Q3 2022.

Total other expenses were $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease in expense of $3.8 million compared to the same period last year. Total other expenses were $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a decrease in expense of $39.3 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease in total other expenses was primarily driven by higher non-cash impairment charges on our investment in Coinsquare in 2022 compared to 2023. Additional decreases are due to the discontinuation of equity accounting for our share of Coinsquare’s net comprehensive loss following the WonderFi Transaction. These items are partially offset by an increase in other non-operating expenses due to a $1.1 million impairment in assets related to the sublease of our Vancouver office in the current period.

 

Revaluation gains and losses were a $5.5 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the same period last year. The variance is primarily attributable to loss in investment portfolio of $5.6 million compared to a loss of $1.9 million in the same period last year.

 

Revaluation gains and losses were a $4.0 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $4.4 million loss in the same period last year. The variance is primarily attributable to the same factors discussed above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

 

Other non-operating expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consists of restructuring charges incurred in Q1 2023 related to the wind down of the legacy MogoApp, including MogoCard, and Q2 2023 related to impairment of assets related to the sublease of our Vancouver office. Other non-operating expense recognized in Q3 2022 primarily related to the implementation of certain restructuring in 2022 and 2023.

 

Debenture and other financing expense primarily consists of interest expense related to our non-convertible and convertible debentures and interest expense related to our lease liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16. Debenture and other financing expense remained consistent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods last year.

Total other comprehensive income was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to other comprehensive income of $0.1 million in the same period last year. Total other comprehensive loss was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to other comprehensive income of $0.4 million in the same period last year.

Following the financial investment in bitcoin and ether in 2021, the Company recognized digital assets as indefinite lived intangible assets measured under the revaluation model at fair value and recognizes cumulative fair value gains relating to these digital assets through other comprehensive income, and cumulative fair value losses to the extent that they reverse previously recognized cumulative gains through other comprehensive income. See Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for our detailed accounting policy.

Unrealized revaluation loss on digital assets impacting other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is nil compared to nil loss in the same period last year. Unrealized revaluation loss on digital assets impacting other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is nil compared to a $0.5 million loss in the same period last year. These gains and losses are due to change in the market prices of bitcoin and ether across the periods. The decrease in digital asset market prices in 2022 resulted in a cumulative loss on our digital assets prior to their sale in November 2022.

From the date of the acquisition of Carta in Q1 2021 and Moka in Q2 2021, the Company consolidates foreign operations with functional currencies that are different from the presentation currency of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to CAD using exchange rates at the reporting date whilst their income and expenses are translated to CAD using average monthly exchange rates. Foreign currency differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency translation reserve gain was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the same period last year. Foreign currency translation reserve loss was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.9 million gain in the same period last year. These variances are due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates across the periods.

Key Quarterly Trends

 

We experienced steady revenue in 2022 after continued quarter over quarter revenue growth since Q1 2021, driven by growth in our subscription and services revenue, and the addition of transaction processing revenues related to the acquisition of Carta and other subscription and service-based revenue related to the acquisition of Moka. The implementation of the restructuring plan resulted in reductions in operating expenses in each quarter of 2022, but its impact on sub-scale revenue streams resulted in a decrease in revenue in 2023 compared to 2022.

 

Loss from operations increased from Q3 2021 to Q1 2022. In 2021, we increased growth spend and acquired Carta, Moka and MogoTrade (formerly Fortification). Additional expenditures were incurred to grow the loan book, develop MogoTrade, and support acquisitions. Beginning in Q2 2022, we implemented a broad restructuring plan along with cost reduction initiatives including changes in personnel and a reduction in vendor spend. Loss from operations decreased quarter over quarter from Q2 2022 to Q2 2023, with significant decreases in operating expenses while managing impact on revenue.

 

Other expenses, including taxes, resulted in losses from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022. Between Q4 2021 and Q4 2022, broader equity and cryptocurrency market declines resulted in non-cash losses, including $58.3 million in impairment charges on our investment in Coinsquare, $31.8 million in impairment charges to goodwill and $6.5 million in write-downs of intangible assets. In 2023, changes in other expenses primarily related to our share of Coinsquare's net comprehensive loss, impairment on our investment in Coinsquare, restructuring costs related to the wind down of the legacy MogoApp, including MogoCard, impairment on assets related to our Vancouver lease and a loss on the revaluation of our investment portfolio.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has improved in every quarter since Q1 2022 as we placed a significant emphasis on operating efficiency and margin improvement starting in 2022.

Total liabilities increased by $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities, offset by a $1.7 million decrease in debentures and a $0.4 million decrease in lease liabilities.

The allowance for loan losses is reported on the Company’s balance sheet and is netted against gross loans receivable to arrive at the net loans receivable. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of the ECL inherent in our loan portfolio. Refer to Note 4 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for a breakdown of gross loans receivable and allowance for loan losses by aging category based on their IFRS 9 ECL measurement stage. The Company assesses its allowance for loan losses at each reporting date. Changes in the provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, are recorded as a cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans receivable decreased to 17.0% as at September 30, 2023 from 18.7% as at December 31, 2022. This is primarily due to a better aging of loan portfolio as at Q3 2023 compared to Q4 2022.

 

As at September 30, 2023, the allowance includes an incremental allowance in respect of potential future losses arising from macroeconomic factors as a result of the requirement under IFRS 9 to account for forward-looking indicators when determining the allowance. We believe that the related allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably possible changes to economic conditions that impact the loan book. It should be noted that this allowance has already been reflected in our provision for loan losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Refer to the Cost of revenuesection above for further discussion on the provision for loan losses.

The Company reserves and charges off consumer loan amounts to the extent that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery once the loan or a portion of the loan has been classified as past due for more than 180 consecutive days. Recoveries on loan amounts previously charged off are credited against loans receivable and provision for loan losses when collected.

In the opinion of management, the Company has provided adequate allowances to absorb expected credit losses inherent in its loan portfolio based on available and relevant information affecting the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. The Company cannot guarantee that delinquency and loss levels will correspond with the historical levels experienced and there is a risk that delinquency and loss rates could change significantly.

Transactions with Related Parties

 

Related party transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include transactions with debenture holders that incur interest. The related party debentures balance as at September 30, 2023 totaled $0.3 million (September 30, 2022 – $0.3 million). The debentures bear annual coupon interest of 8.0% (September 30, 2022 – 8.0%) with interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaling $6,000 and $18,000 respectively (September 30, 2022 - $6,000 and $19,000, respectively). The related parties involved in such transactions include shareholders, officers, directors, and management, close members of their families, or entities which are directly or indirectly controlled by close members of their families. The debentures are ongoing contractual obligations that are used to fund our corporate and operational activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off‑balance sheet arrangements that have, or are likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial position, financial performance, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and continue as a going concern, and to deploy capital to provide future investment return to its shareholders. A detailed description of the Company’s approach to capital management and risk management policy for managing liquidity risk is outlined in Note 23 and Note 26 in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has assessed that it has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which management has defined as being at least the next 12 months.

 

To date the Company has funded its lending and investing activities, expenses and losses primarily through the proceeds of its initial public offering which raised $50 million in 2015, subsequent issuances of Common Shares, convertible debentures, warrants, prior private placements of preferred shares, placements of debentures, credit facilities, and cash from operating activities. The business combination between the Company and Mogo Finance in the second quarter of 2019 also added to the Company’s capital resources and strengthened its financial position with an investment portfolio which the Company is actively seeking to monetize. Following investments made after the business combination, the value of Mogo’s investments, including our investment in WonderFi, was $24.5 million as at September 30, 2023.

 

We manage our liquidity by continuously monitoring revenues, expenses and cash flow compared to budget. Our principal cash requirements are for working capital, loan capital and investing activities. Our future financing requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, product development investments, increase in marketing activities, investment levels in our gross loans receivables, the macroeconomic conditions and its impact on loan performance, and potential mergers, strategic investments and acquisitions activity. Management expects that they will be able to refinance any outstanding amounts owing under the Credit Facility or our long-term debentures and may at times consider the issuance of shares in satisfaction of amounts owing under debentures, in each case as they become due and payable. The debentures are subordinated to the Credit Facility.

 

On November 6, 2023, due to the expiry of our previous short-form base shelf prospectus, we filed a new short-form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec. This shelf prospectus allows Mogo to offer common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, and warrants to purchase common shares, preferred shares or debt securities up to an aggregate offering price of USD $250,000,000 for the 25 month period after filing.

 

In order to support its growth strategy, the Company gives consideration to additional financing options including accessing the capital markets for additional equity or debt, monetization of our investment portfolio, increasing the amount of long-term debt outstanding or increasing availability under existing or new credit facilities.

 

Although we are not currently party to any material undisclosed agreement and do not have any understanding with any third parties with respect to potential material investments in, or material acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favourable to us or at all.

 

In December 2021, we amended our Credit Facility. The amendments changed the effective interest rate from a maximum of 9% plus LIBOR to 8% plus LIBOR with no floor. In addition, the amendment increases the available loan capital from $50 million to $60 million and extends the maturity date by three years from July 2, 2022 to July 2, 2025. As of July 1, 2023, the Credit Facility's benchmark rate transitioned from the USD LIBOR benchmark rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

This is a non-IFRS measure. The above table includes a reconciliation to cash (used in) generated from operating activities which is the most comparable IFRS measure.

 

The reduction in the net decrease in cash for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to significant improvements to operating efficiency and the profitability of our revenue streams in the current period.

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities

 

Our operating activities consist of our subscription and services revenue inflows, our cash operating and interest expense outflows, as well as the funding and servicing of our loan products, including the receipt of principal and interest payments from our loan customers, and payment of associated direct costs and receipt of associated fees.

 

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivables was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $4.1 million improvement compared to negative $1.5 million in the same period last year. Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is a $15.9 million improvement compared to negative $11.1 million in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily attributed to significant operating expense efficiencies gained in the past year, in addition to gross margin improvements.

 

Cash invested in loans receivable was a $6.8 million outflow in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $4.1 million outflow in the same period last year. Cash invested in loans receivable was a $11.8 million outflow in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $14.6 million outflow in the same period last year. Management maintains complete discretion over the ability to manage this as either a usage of cash or an inflow of cash from period to period.

 

Cash used in operating activities improved by $1.4 million or 26% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year. Cash used in operating activities improved by $18.7 million or 73% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period last year.

 

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in working capital was a $2.6 million inflow in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $0.3 million outflow in the same period last year. Cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital was a $6.4 million inflow in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $7.2 million outflow in the same period last year. The overall decrease in cash outflows was due to lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the current period relative to the prior period.

 

Other changes in working capital resulted in a $0.1 million outflow in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $1.2 million outflow in the same period last year. Other changes in working capital resulted in a $1.6 million outflow in

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a $3.8 million outflow in the same period last year. The decrease in cash outflows is due to the timing of vendor payments.

 

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities

 

Our investing activities consist primarily of capitalization of software development costs, purchases of property, equipment and software, investment and sale of our digital assets, cash invested in investment accounted for using the equity method, monetization of our investment portfolio and cash (invested) acquired in a business combination. The cash flow may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, changes in employee headcount and the development cycles of our internal‑use technology.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.5 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period last year. Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.1 million compared to $8.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a significant reduction in capital technology expenditures required as a result of our cost efficiency initiatives. We expect the current level of capital expenditure to be more reflective of cash needed for investing activities in the foreseeable future.

 

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities

 

Historically, our financing activities have consisted primarily of the issuance of our Common Shares, debentures, convertible debentures, and borrowings and repayments on our credit facilities.

 

Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.3 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.7 million for the same period last year. The net increase in cash provided by financing activities in the current period compared to the prior period is primarily attributable to a $2.3 million increase in advances of the Credit Facility, corresponding with the growth in our gross loans receivable in the period, and is partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in Mogo share purchases.

 

Cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.4 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million for the same period last year. The net increase in cash used in financing activities is attributable to the same factors discussed above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Risk Management

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from a number of sources. Management’s involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. As a part of the overall operation of the Company, management takes steps to avoid undue concentrations of risk. The Company’s significant risk and related policies are described further in the notes to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Other risks

As part of the Federal Budget released in March 2023, the Government of Canada provided indication of its intention to reduce the maximum allowable interest rate to an annual percentage rate ("APR") of 35%. The new maximum allowable rate will only be applicable to agreements entered subsequent to the effective date, which has not yet been determined. The Company intends to make any necessary adjustments to product offerings as new updates unfold, in order to mitigate any potential impact of the lower maximum allowable rate.

As changes in our business environment or investment strategy occur, we may adjust our strategies to meet these changes, which may include restructuring a particular business or asset or refocusing on different sectors of our investment portfolio. In addition, external events, including changing technology, changing consumer patterns, changing market sentiment, and changes in macroeconomic condition, including the volatility and uncertainty in financial markets (including cryptocurrency markets), may impair the value of some or all of our assets or require us to take a charge against such assets, including our investment in WonderFi. When these changes or events occur, we may need to write down the value of certain assets or the overall value of our investment portfolio. We may also make investments in existing or new businesses in order to build on or diversify our investment portfolio. Some of these investments may have short-term returns that are negative or low and the ultimate prospects of those investments in our portfolio may be uncertain, volatile or may not develop at a rate that supports our level of investment. In any of these events, we may have significant charges associated with the write-down of assets or certain asset classes such as cryptocurrency or technology company investments.

Other risks facing our business, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations may include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties that are discussed in greater detail in the "Risk Factors" section of our current annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2022 and elsewhere in this MD&A.

Capital management

Our objective in managing our capital is financial stability and sufficient liquidity to increase shareholder value through organic growth and investment in technology, marketing and product development. Our senior management team is responsible for managing the capital through regular review of financial information to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet operating requirements and investments to support our growth strategy. The Board is responsible for overseeing this process. In order to maintain or adjust our capital structure, we may issue new shares, repurchase shares, approve special dividends, or issue debt.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized on a prospective basis beginning from the period in which they are revised.

Significant estimates and judgments include the determination of allowance for loan losses, fair value of privately held investments, impairment of investment in associate, and valuation of goodwill acquired in business combinations, which are described further in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the below exceptions:

Subleases

For subleases classified as a finance lease, the Company de-recognizes the right-of-use asset relating to the head lease and recognizes a net investment in the sublease. Any difference between the right-of-use asset and the net investment in the finance sublease is recognized in profit or loss. The Company measures the net investment in the finance lease at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments of the underlying right-of-use asset. The net investment in the finance lease is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

New and amended standards and interpretations

Certain new or amended standards and interpretations became effective on January 1, 2023, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not adopted any standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be publicly disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. The CEO and CFO have evaluated the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the quarter and based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effectively designed.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR for the Company. Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s ICFR will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud or will be effective under all future conditions. A control system is subject to inherent limitations and even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control objectives will be met with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company’s management under the supervision of the CEO and CFO has evaluated the design of the Company’s ICFR based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
