• Consolidated revenues from Continuing Operations of $574.6 million; Net earnings of $40.5 million
• Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations of $61.5 million
• Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.49; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.74

SALT LAKE CITY: PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Purchasing Power, Four Technologies and MoneyApp today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

“Q4 and full-year 2025 were periods of disciplined execution that demonstrated the strength and resilience of PROG’s multi-product platform,” said PROG Holdings President and CEO Steve Michaels. “Despite a challenging retail environment and the impact of a large partner bankruptcy on Progressive Leasing, we took proactive steps to protect portfolio performance, expand margins, and position the business for profitable growth.”

“At the same time, we continued to build momentum across our ecosystem during the quarter. Four delivered its ninth consecutive quarter of triple-digit GMV and revenue growth, and MoneyApp approached breakeven adjusted EBITDA by year-end. Both Four and MoneyApp drove incremental Leasing volume through cross-sell, and our direct-to-consumer Leasing channel, PROG Marketplace, nearly tripled GMV during the quarter. We also simplified and strengthened the business through the sale of the Vive portfolio and the announcement of the Purchasing Power acquisition.”

“As we move into 2026, we are confident that our three-pillared strategy to grow, enhance, and expand across our product ecosystem, with a focus on increasing customer acquisition and lifetime value, will support sustainable growth. Our business is generating significant free cash flow, providing us with the flexibility to invest in growth, deleverage following the acquisition, and continue building long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Michaels.

Forward-Looking Statements:

Statements, estimates and projections in this press release regarding our business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “belief,” “expect,” “continue,” “target,” “outlook,” “assumes,” and similar forward-looking terminology. These risks and uncertainties include (i) continued volatility and challenges in the macroeconomic environment and their impact on: (a) consumer confidence and customer demand for the merchandise that our retail partners sell, in particular consumer durables, such as home appliances, electronics and furniture; (b) our customers’ disposable income and their ability to make the lease and loan payments they owe the Company; (c) the availability of consumer credit; and (d) our overall financial performance and outlook; (ii) the impact of the uncertain macroeconomic environment on our proprietary algorithms and decisioning tools that we use to approve customers such that they are no longer indicative of our customers’ ability to perform, which in turn may limit the ability of our businesses to manage risk, avoid lease and loan charge-offs and may result in insufficient reserves to cover actual losses; (iii) a large percentage of Progressive Leasing's revenue being concentrated with several key retail partners, and the loss of any of these retail partner relationships materially and adversely affecting several aspects of our performance; (iv) Progressive Leasing being unable to attract additional retail partners and retain and grow its relationships with its existing retail partners, resulting in several aspects of our performance being materially and adversely affected; (v) Progressive Leasing being unable to attract new consumers and retain and grow its relationships with its existing customers materially and adversely affecting several aspects of our performance; (vi) Four’s and Purchasing Power's business models differing significantly from Progressive Leasing’s lease-to-own business, which means these businesses have different risk profiles; (vii) our efforts to modernize and enhance certain enterprise-wide information management systems and technologies adversely impacting our businesses and operations; (viii) the inability of our businesses to successfully operate in highly and increasingly competitive industries materially and adversely affecting several aspects of our performance; (ix) our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects being materially and adversely affected due to our businesses failing to maintain a consistently high level of consumer satisfaction and trust in its brands; (x) our businesses being subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including certain laws and regulations unique to the industries in which our businesses operate, that may subject them to government investigations and significant monetary penalties, remediation expenses and compliance-related burdens that may result in them changing the manner in which they operate, which may be materially adverse to several aspects of our performance; (xi) our performance being materially and adversely affected due to the transactions offered to consumers by our businesses being negatively characterized by federal, state and local government officials, consumer advocacy groups and the media; (xii) our inability to protect confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the confidential information of our customers, being adversely affected by cyber-attacks or similar disruptions, which may result in significant costs, litigation and reputational damage or otherwise have a material adverse impact on several aspects of our performance; (xiii) any significant disruption in our vendors' information technology systems, or disruptions in the information our businesses rely on in their lease and loan decisioning, materially and adversely affecting several aspects of our performance; (xiv) our capital allocation strategy and financial policies, including our current stock repurchase and dividend programs not being effective at enhancing shareholder value, or providing other benefits we expect; and (xv) the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026. Statements, estimates and projections in this press release that are “forward-looking” include without limitation statements, estimates and projections about: (i) our ability to deliver sustainable, profitable growth going forward; (ii) our free cash flow in the future periods and the benefits we expect from it, including the ability to invest in growth, deleverage following our acquisition of Purchasing Power, and provide long-term value for our shareholders; (iii) the performance of our lease portfolio, including our annual write-offs; and (iv) our revised full year 2026 outlook and the guidance we provide for the first quarter of 2026.
