Mogo reports in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia: Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading financial technology companies, today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“Our third-quarter results showcased the continued progress we’re making in building a highly efficient and more profitable operating platform at Mogo,” said David Feller, Mogo’s Founder and CEO. “This work is allowing us to meaningfully enhance the value of our products and accelerate our mission. We’re particularly excited by the progress we’re making with our wealth platform. Millions of Canadians – and trillions of dollars – are stuck in underperforming products with high fees, and platforms that are more focused on driving revenue instead of helping Canadians improve their returns. This is one of the main reasons we have a retirement crisis, and it’s a big problem we’re working hard to solve. Our unique approach is helping Canadians get on a much better path to financial freedom, while also having a positive impact. We’re still very early days in our journey, but excited to see the impact we are having already. We are prudently investing to capture the huge opportunities we see across our wealth platform.”

Key Financial Highlights for Q3 2023

• Q3 revenue of $16.2 million, up from $16.0 million in Q2 2023. Revenue decreased 6% over the prior year, reflecting the Company’s decision to narrow its strategic focus and exit certain sub-scale and unprofitable products.

• Total operating expenses for Q3 2023 decreased by $6.2 million, or 34%, compared to Q3 2022, as the Company continued to focus on cost efficiency and improving its cash flow.
• Adjusted EBITDA1 reached $2.1 million in Q3 2023 (12.8% margin), up from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($2.8) million in Q3 2022.
• Cash flows from operations (before investment in loan portfolio)1 improved for the sixth consecutive quarter, from ($1.5) million in Q3 2022 to $2.6 million in Q3 2023.
• Adjusted net loss1 improved 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.
• Ended Q3 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.
• Mogo’s assets also include 87 million common shares (approximately 13% of the shares outstanding) of WonderFi Technologies Inc. (TSX: WNDR), one of the largest regulated crypto investing ecosystems in Canada.
• During Q3 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 the fiscal year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 254,456 shares under both buyback programs.

“We’re pleased with our financial performance for the third quarter, which demonstrates the core profitability of our business and highlights the strong execution from our team over the past year,” said Greg Feller, President & CFO. “Revenue increased sequentially for the second quarter in a row and Adjusted EBITDA grew for the sixth quarter in a row, increasing nearly $5.0 million over the same period last year. These results position us well to achieve our full-year objectives and, as we look out to next year, to deliver an attractive combination of both top-line growth and profitability, building toward our target of a combined EBITDA margin and revenue growth rate of at least 40% in the second half of 2024.”

Business & Operations Highlights

• In July 2023, Mogo announced that Coinsquare, in which Mogo had a 34% ownership stake, completed a business combination with WonderFi and CoinSmart Financial Inc.

Mogo owns approximately 13% of WonderFi following the business combination.

• Assets under management in the Company’s Wealth businesses increased 18% year-over-year to $331.0 million.
• 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.
• 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.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non‑IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement the IFRS financial measures contained herein by providing further metrics to understand the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non‑IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net loss and Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Our management also uses non‑IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. For more information, please see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended September 30, 2023, which is available at www.sedarplus.com and at www.sec.gov.

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