Katapult Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
Delivers 13th Consecutive Quarter of Gross Originations Growth
Pending Merger Transaction with The Aaron’s Company and CCF Holdings LLC Expected to Create a Premier Omnichannel Platform for Nonprime Consumers
PLANO, Texas, March XX, 2026— Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KPLT), an e-commerce-focused financial technology company, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.
“We made a lot of operating and financial progress during 2025 driven both by the strength of our product offering as well as our team’s dedication to growth and success,” said Orlando Zayas, CEO of Katapult. “During 2025 we achieved 17% gross originations growth, which was supported by a 45% increase in applications and a 25% increase in lease originations, illustrating the affinity our customers have for our lease-to-own (LTO) offering and the value we bring to our merchant-partners. While gross originations growth was quite robust, we fell slightly short of our 20-23% growth objective. Our fourth quarter marked our thirteenth consecutive quarter of gross originations growth, but our customers began to show signs of stress and the holiday season was not as strong as we anticipated. We saw a notable slowdown of year-over-year growth in November compared with October and only a slight pick-up in December.
“We believe this performance was driven by economic headwinds including persistently high inflation and a challenging labor market,” continued Zayas. “We are also seeing a notable pullback in spending for nonprime consumers, and access to credit is tightening. We believe these trends are evidence of the financial fatigue our nonprime consumers are experiencing and we are launching initiatives focused on offsetting these challenges. We will continue to watch these dynamics closely but believe they are transient and that Katapult’s innovative LTO platform will remain an important resource for nonprime consumers. Looking ahead, we believe our pending merger with Aaron’s and CCF Holdings will enhance our ability to meet the evolving needs of nonprime consumers while creating value for our combined set of stakeholders.”

Pending Mergers with The Aaron’s Company and CCF Holdings LLC
“We are so excited about the opportunity to combine forces with Aaron’s and CCF Holdings and we believe this transaction will create tremendous benefits for consumers, merchants and investors alike,” continued Zayas. “We believe the Katapult LTO offering is best-in-class and that these mergers will create the scale we need to unlock the value of our business model. We look forward to completing the work necessary to get this deal across the finish line.”
On December 11, 2025, we entered into an agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to merge with Aaron’s Intermediate Holdco, Inc. (“Aaron’s”) and CCF Holdings LLC (“CCF Holdings”). We expect this transaction to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to requisite stockholder and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. If completed, we expect the transaction to create a premier omni-channel platform that provides nonprime consumers access to durable goods and a comprehensive suite of innovative financial solutions tailored to their specific needs. Specifically, we believe this transaction will deliver the following benefits:
•Differentiated customer value proposition: Creates a trusted platform for nonprime consumers to access durable goods and a comprehensive suite of innovative financial solutions tailored to their specific needs.
•Scale and unique market position: Establishes a scaled omni-channel business with leading digital and mobile capabilities and a nationwide physical footprint including approximately 3,000 retail touchpoints.
•Enhanced financial profile: the combined company is expected to have a stronger financial and operating model that includes:
◦more than $4 billion in pro forma revenue for the last twelve months (LTM) as of Q3 2025;
◦approximately $450 million in pro forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of Q3 2025 and operating scale that supports long-term double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margin potential;
◦a combined reach that includes more than 7 million recently served customers;
◦a broad portfolio of recurring revenue streams; and
◦more attractive unit economics that support long-term profitability.
•Significant synergy potential: Expected synergies include:
◦expanded opportunities to serve a broader spectrum of nonprime consumer needs;
◦enhanced underwriting capabilities that can drive growth and yield;
◦technology that amplifies and accelerates product innovation; and
◦operating efficiencies.
•Strengthened balance sheet: Boosts the company’s balance sheet and access to capital that can be used to accelerate and invest in growth opportunities.
•Experienced leadership: Team of seasoned executives with deep experience in the nonprime consumer segment and track records of delivering operational improvement and innovation.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, current Katapult stockholders will own 6% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and stakeholders of Aaron’s and CCF Holdings will own the remainder. Aaron’s and CCF Holdings will be subsidiaries of Katapult, which is expected to continue trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KPLT.”
Additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the transaction is included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In light of the pending mergers with Aaron’s and CCFI, Katapult is not hosting a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results nor is the company providing a business outlook at this time.

Key Performance Metrics
Katapult regularly reviews several metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor: gross originations, total revenue, gross profit, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA.
Gross originations are defined as the retail price of the merchandise associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period through the Katapult platform. Gross originations do not represent revenue earned. However, we believe this is a useful operating metric for both Katapult’s management and investors to use in assessing the volume of transactions that take place on Katapult’s platform.
Total revenue represents the summation of rental revenue and other revenue. Katapult measures this metric to assess the total view of pay through performance of its customers. Management believes looking at these components is useful to an investor as it helps to understand the total payment performance of customers.
Gross profit represents total revenue less cost of revenue, and is a measure presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a description and presentation of adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures utilized by management.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures presented in this press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents the following non-GAAP and other measures of financial performance: adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and fixed cash operating expenses. The Company believes that for management and investors to more effectively compare core performance from period to period, the non-GAAP measures should exclude items that are not indicative of our results from ongoing business operations.The Company urges investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with its GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to its comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.
7
Adjusted gross profit represents gross profit less variable operating expenses, which are servicing costs, and underwriting fees. Management believes that adjusted gross profit provides a meaningful understanding of one aspect of its performance specifically attributable to total revenue and the variable costs associated with total revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and other fees, transaction related costs, stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, litigation and settlement expenses, provision for impairment of leased assets, interest income, gain on extinguishment of term loan and settlement of derivative liability, net, and change in fair value of derivative liability and warrants. Transaction-related costs consist primarily of professional fees incurred and retention bonus costs in connection with the Mergers.
Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) before transaction related costs, stock-based compensation expense,, debt refinancing costs, litigation and settlement expenses, gain on extinguishment of term loan and settlement of derivative liability, net, and change in fair value of derivative liability and warrants.
Fixed cash operating expenses is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as operating expenses less variable lease costs such as servicing costs and underwriting fees, transaction related costs, stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, and litigation and settlement expenses. We believe fixed cash operating expenses illustrates our controllable ongoing expenses.
Adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company’s performance because these measures:
•Are widely used to measure a company’s operating performance;
•Are financial measurements that are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate the Company’s credit worthiness; and
•Are used by the Company’s management for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are not part of our core operations, highly variable or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Katapult’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net loss, gross profit, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Katapult’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
