Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this press release includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of
the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words
such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”
“will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or
other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or
trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding, among other things, MoneyLion’s financial
position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects and growth
strategies. These statements are based on various assumptions,
whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current
expectations of MoneyLion’s management, are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties and are not predictions of actual
performance. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or
impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual
events and circumstances are beyond the control of MoneyLion.
Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ
from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, among
other things: factors relating to the business, operations and
financial performance of MoneyLion, including market conditions and
global and economic factors beyond MoneyLion’s control; MoneyLion's
ability to acquire, engage and retain customers and clients and
sell or develop additional functionality, products and services to
them on the MoneyLion platform; MoneyLion’s reliance on third-party
partners, service providers and vendors, including its ability to
comply with applicable requirements of such third parties; demand
for and consumer confidence in MoneyLion’s products and services,
including as a result of any adverse publicity concerning
MoneyLion; any inaccurate or fraudulent information provided to
MoneyLion by customers or other third parties; MoneyLion’s ability
to realize strategic objectives and avoid difficulties and risks of
any acquisitions, strategic investments, entries into new
businesses, joint ventures, divestitures and other transactions;
MoneyLion’s success in attracting, retaining and motivating its
senior management and other key personnel; MoneyLion’s ability to
renew or replace its existing funding arrangements and raise
financing in the future, to comply with restrictive covenants
related to its long-term indebtedness and to manage the effects of
changes in the cost of capital; MoneyLion's ability to achieve or
maintain profitability in the future; intense and increasing
competition in the industries in which MoneyLion and its
subsidiaries operate; risks related to the proper functioning of
MoneyLion’s information technology systems and data storage,
including as a result of cyberattacks, data security breaches or
other similar incidents or disruptions suffered by MoneyLion or
third parties upon which it relies; MoneyLion’s ability to protect
its intellectual property and other proprietary rights and its
ability to obtain or maintain intellectual property, proprietary
rights and technology licensed from third parties; MoneyLion’s
ability to comply with extensive and evolving laws and regulations
applicable to its business and the outcome of any legal or
governmental proceedings that may be instituted against MoneyLion;
MoneyLion's ability to establish and maintain an effective system
of internal controls over financial reporting; MoneyLion’s ability
to maintain the listing of MoneyLion’s Class A common stock and its
publicly traded warrants to purchase MoneyLion Class A common stock
on the New York Stock Exchange and any volatility in the market
price of MoneyLion’s securities; and factors discussed in
MoneyLion’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There may be additional risks that MoneyLion presently knows or
that MoneyLion currently believes are immaterial that could also
cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements reflect MoneyLion’s
expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of
the date of this press release. MoneyLion anticipates that
subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to
change. However, while MoneyLion may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, MoneyLion
specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
representing MoneyLion’s assessments as of any date subsequent to
the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should
not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). MoneyLion
management historically used and uses Adjusted EBITDA for various
purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for
strategic planning and forecasting. MoneyLion believes presenting
Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to
management and investors regarding certain financial and business
trends relating to MoneyLion’s results of operations. MoneyLion’s
method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from other
companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those
used by other companies and MoneyLion does not recommend the sole
use of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its financial performance.
MoneyLion management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation
or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance
with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures
is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are
required by GAAP to be recorded in MoneyLion’s financial
statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations
as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which
expense and income are excluded or included in determining non-GAAP
financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations,
management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with MoneyLion’s
GAAP results. You should review MoneyLion’s financial statements,
which are included in MoneyLion’s filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial
measure to evaluate MoneyLion’s business.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the
most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below. To the
extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are
provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without
reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures, due to
the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain
amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, which could be
material based on historical adjustments. Accordingly, a
reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
Definitions:
Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP
measure, defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense related
to corporate debt, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and
amortization expense, change in fair value of warrant liability,
change in fair value of contingent consideration from mergers and
acquisitions, goodwill impairment loss, stock-based compensation
and certain other expenses that management does not consider in
measuring performance.
Total Customers: Defined as the
cumulative number of customers that have opened at least one
account, including banking, membership subscription, secured
personal loan, Instacash advance, managed investment account,
cryptocurrency account and customers that are monetized through our
marketplace and affiliate products. Total Customers also include
customers that have submitted for, received or clicked on at least
one marketplace credit offer.
Total Products: Defined as the
total number of products that our Total Customers have opened,
including banking, membership subscription, secured personal loan,
Instacash advance, managed investment account, cryptocurrency
account and monetized marketplace and affiliate products, as well
as customers who signed up for our financial tracking services
(with either credit tracking enabled or external linked accounts),
whether or not the customer is still registered for the product.
Total Products also include marketplace credit offers that our
Total Customers have submitted for, received or clicked on through
our marketplace. If a customer has funded multiple secured personal
loans or Instacash advances or opened multiple products through our
marketplace, it is only counted once for each product type.
Total Originations: Defined as the
dollar volume of the secured personal loans originated and
Instacash advances funded within the stated period. All
originations were originated directly by MoneyLion.
Enterprise Partners: Composed of
Product Partners and Channel Partners. Product Partners are the
providers of the financial and non-financial products and services
that we offer in our marketplaces, including financial
institutions, financial service providers and other affiliate
partners. Channel Partners are organizations that allow us to reach
a wide base of consumers, including but not limited to news sites,
