WM Technology, Inc. Reports Financial Results

For Second Quarter 2025

Adjusted EBITDA was $11.7 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year

Net Income was $2.2 million, an increase of 81% year-over-year

Cash Rises to $59 million

Irvine, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 7, 2025-- WM Technology, Inc. (“WM Technology” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MAPS), a leading marketplace and technology solutions provider to the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“We delivered a solid quarter, generating strong cash flow and maintaining operational discipline in what continues to be a difficult operating environment,” said Doug Francis, CEO of WM Technology. “While cannabis markets in our core states remain under pressure, we’re encouraged by the progress we’re seeing with new clients in certain emerging markets. Broader industry challenges persist, but we remain committed to execution and to positioning the business for long-term growth.”

“We remain in a strong financial position, with cash growth, no debt on the balance sheet, and solid Adjusted EBITDA performance,” said Susan Echard, CFO of WM Technology. “Our strategic approach to managing capital allows us to pursue ongoing investment in the business while maintaining the flexibility to navigate a dynamic market environment.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

•Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $44.8 million as compared to $45.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was due to decreases in revenues from our Weedmaps for Business solution and our featured and deal listings, partially offset by an increase in revenues from other ad solutions.

◦Average monthly paying clients(1) of 5,241 was up from 5,045 from the prior year period, largely due to new client acquisitions across certain developing markets, partially offset by a churn in more established markets.

◦Average monthly revenues per paying client(2) decreased to $2,852 from $3,033 in the prior year period, due to spend declines in established markets driven by continued industry challenges, such as price deflation and ongoing consolidation. In addition, new clients acquired across certain markets had lower levels of average spend.

•Net income increased to $2.2 million as compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA(3) increased to $11.7 million from $10.1 million in the prior year period.

•Total shares outstanding across Class A and Class V Common Stock were 156.5 million as of June 30, 2025.

•Cash increased to $59.0 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared to $52.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures have been provided in the tables below.

______________________________

(1)Average monthly paying clients are defined as the average of the number of paying clients billed in a month across a particular period (and for which services were provided).

(2)Average monthly revenues per paying client is defined as the average monthly revenues for any particular period divided by the average monthly paying clients in the same respective period. Average monthly revenues per paying client is calculated in the same manner as our previously-reported “Average monthly net revenue per paying client,” and the description of the metric is being updated solely because we changed the reporting line item from “Net revenues” to “Revenue”. For additional information, see “Basis of Presentation” and “Revenue Recognition” of Note 2. “Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies,” of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025.

(3)For further information about how we calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as well as limitations of their use and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), see “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 7, 2025, WM Technology is issuing guidance for the third quarter of 2025 as follows:

•Revenues is estimated to be approximately $41 million - $43 million.

•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA(3) is estimated to be approximately $5 million - $7 million.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable as of the date of this release. We are not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income without unreasonable effort. This guidance assumes that no business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded in the period. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. We undertake no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” regarding the Company’s future business expectations which involve risks and uncertainties. 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 estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. 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 the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the Company’s financial and business performance, including key business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder; market opportunity and the Company’s ability to acquire new clients and retain existing clients; expectations and timing related to commercial product launches; success of the Company’s go-to-market strategy; the Company’s ability to scale its business and expand its offerings; the Company’s competitive advantages and growth strategies; the Company’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; the Company’s ability to obtain funding for its future operations; the impact of the material weaknesses in the

Company’s internal controls and ability to remediate these material weaknesses in the timing the Company anticipates, or at all; the Company’s ability to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; the impact of the restatement on our reputation and investor confidence in us and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries; the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the effect of macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to inflation, tariffs, public health crises, uncertain credit and global financial markets, past and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures, current and potential future geopolitical events, including the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, and the occurrence of a catastrophic event, including but not limited to severe weather, war, or terrorist attack; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions affecting the cannabis industry; the development, effects and enforcement of and changes to laws and regulations, including with respect to the cannabis and hemp industries; the Company’s ability to successfully capitalize on new and existing cannabis markets, including its ability to successfully monetize its solutions in those markets; the Company’s ability to manage future growth; the Company’s ability to effectively anticipate and address changes in the end-user market in the cannabis industry; the Company’s ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its two-sided marketplace, including its ability to acquire and retain paying clients; the Company’s ability to continue to collect on outstanding receivables; the Company’s ability to realize the expected benefits of any strategic acquisitions; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; the Company’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, officers, key employees or directors; cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive and those factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or these assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that the Company 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 the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial statements, including net income, are prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, legal settlements and other legal costs, asset impairment charges, change in the TRA liability and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA; and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider any of these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
