Pagaya Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results ● Record Network Volume of $2.4 billion in 4Q’23 and $8.3 billion in FY’23 ● Record Total Revenue and Other Income of $218 million in 4Q’23 and $812 million in FY’23 ● Record Adjusted EBITDA of $34 million in 4Q’23 and $82 million in FY’23 ● Company provides first quarter and full year 2024 financial outlook New York, NY and Tel Aviv, Israel – February 21, 2024 – Pagaya Technologies Ltd. �NASDAQ� PGY� (“Pagaya”, the “Company” or “we”), a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.1 For additional information, view Pagaya's fourth quarter 2023 letter to shareholders here. “We delivered record fourth quarter results, ending the year with network volume, total revenue and adjusted EBITDA far exceeding our outlook from the start of the year,” said Gal Krubiner, co-founder and CEO of Pagaya Technologies. “We grew our network with transformational new lending partnerships and enhanced network monetization, reflecting the value our product can provide. We expect to build on this momentum in 2024 to expand our product ecosystem and reach a new level of scale and profitability.” Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Highlights All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2022 and on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise stated. ● Record network volume of $2.4 billion in 4Q’23 (exceeding outlook of �$2.1 billion to $2.3 billion), grew by 33% year-over-year, driven primarily by the continued ramp-up of new partnerships in our auto and real estate verticals. Network volume increased by 14% in FY’23 to $8.3 billion. ● The Company expanded its lending network with four leading U.S. lenders in 2023, including U.S. Bank in its personal loan vertical, and Westlake Financial, Exeter Finance and a top 5 auto captive in its auto vertical, demonstrating the strength of its enterprise-grade flagship credit product. 1 The results reported herein and attached financial statements are unaudited.


 
● The Company raised $6.6 billion across 15 asset-backed securitizations (“ABS”) in 2023 and was once again the number one personal loan ABS issuer in the US by issuance size, with a funding base of over 100 institutional investment firms. ● Record total revenue and other income of $218 million in 4Q’23 (in-line with our outlook of �$206million to $231 million), increased 13% year-over-year, driven primarily by an 18% growth in revenue from fees. Total revenue and other income increased by 8% in FY’23 to $812 million. ● Record revenue from fees less production costs (“FRLPC”) of $76 million in 4Q’23, increased by 42% year-over-year, reflecting deeper monetization of the Company’s lending product. FRLPC as a percentage of network volume (“FRLPC margin”) improved 20 basis points to 3.2% in the fourth quarter. FRLPC increased by 13% in FY’23 to $264 million with a FY’23 FRLPC margin of 3.2%. ● Record adjusted EBITDA of $34million in 4Q’23 (exceeding outlook of �$17 million to $27 million). This is an increase of $43 million compared to the prior year period, benefiting from the growth in FRLPC and operating leverage as the business scales. The Company also generated positive quarterly GAAP operating income in 4Q’23 for the second consecutive quarter of $11 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $82 million in FY’23, compared to negative $5 million in FY’22. ● Adjusted net income of $12 million in 4Q’23, which excludes the impact of non-cash items such as share-based compensation expense, represents the third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted net income. Adjusted net income in FY’23 amounted to $17 million. ● Net loss attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $14 million in 4Q’23, improved by $20 million compared to the prior year period, reflecting the continued improvement in operating results. Net loss attributable to Pagaya shareholders in FY’23 amounted to $128 million. First Quarter 2024 Outlook 1Q24 Network Volume Expected to be between $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion Total Revenue and Other Income Expected to be between $225 million and $240 million Adjusted EBITDA Expected to be between $32 million and $38 million Full Year 2024 Outlook FY24 Network Volume Expected to be between $9.0 billion and $10.5 billion Total Revenue and Other Income Expected to be between $925 million and $1,050 million Adjusted EBITDA Expected to be between $150 million and $190 million

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the unaudited financial information and data contained in this press release and Form 6�K, such as Fee Revenue Less Production Costs (“FRLPC”), FRLPC Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income �Loss), have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures FRLPC, FRLPC Margin, Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and to enhance the overall understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To address these limitations, management provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya’s shareholders and a calculation of FRLPC and FRLPC Margin. Management encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with its respective related GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:


 
Fee Revenue Less Production Costs (“FRLPC”) is defined as revenue from fees less production costs. FRLPC Margin is defined as FRLPC divided by Network Volume. Adjusted Net Income �Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd.’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, interest expense, depreciation expense, and income tax expense (benefit). These items are excluded from our Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA measures because they are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, is not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe FRLPC, FRLPC Margin, Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included FRLPC, FRLPC Margin, Adjusted Net Income �Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA because these are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, this non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP amount. In addition, Pagaya provides outlook for the fiscal year 2024 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected Net Loss Attributable to Pagaya under “Full-Year 2024 Outlook” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income (loss) and other reconciling items are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial results.
