WM Technology, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter 2025 Revenue of $43.1 million and Full Year Revenue of $174.7 million

Sustains Consecutive Quarters of Adjusted EBITDA Profitability and Achieves Full Year Net Income Profitability

Appoints Nick Rellas to the Company’s Board of Directors

Irvine, Calif. -- March 12, 2026 -- 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

“2025 was another demanding year for the cannabis industry, with pressure in mature markets and cautious spending across much of the ecosystem,” said Doug Francis, CEO and Chairman of WM Technology. “Against that backdrop, we remained focused on supporting our clients, improving the quality and utility of our platform, and managing the business with discipline. As we look ahead, we believe our marketplace position and strong balance sheet position us well to navigate near-term volatility while continuing to invest for long-term growth.”

“Our fourth quarter and full-year results reflect the continued macro and industry-specific pressures facing cannabis operators, as well as the resilience of our business model,” said Susan Echard, Chief Financial Officer of WM Technology. “We enter 2026 with a strong liquidity position, which provides us the flexibility to make targeted investments in the business while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.”

The Company also announced that Nick Rellas has been appointed to its Board of Directors, effective March 5, 2026. Mr. Rellas brings extensive experience building and scaling consumer marketplaces in regulated industries. He is the co-founder and former CEO of Drizly, which pioneered retail-to-consumer alcohol e-commerce prior to its sale to Uber. Mr. Rellas is the founder and CEO of Greater Industries Labs, Inc.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

•Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $43.1 million, compared to $47.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was driven by continued challenges across core markets, where ongoing pricing pressure continued to compress client operating margins and constrain marketing budgets.

◦Average monthly paying clients(1) were 5,120, compared to 5,225 in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was largely due to churn in more established markets, partially offset by new client acquisitions across certain developing markets.

◦Average monthly revenues per paying client(2) of $2,804 decreased from $3,041 in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was 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 loss was $5.0 million, compared to net income of $3.7 million in the prior year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA(3) decreased to $10.4 million from $11.9 million in the prior year period.

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights

•Revenue of $174.7 million decreased from $184.5 million in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was driven by continued headwinds across core markets, where ongoing pricing pressure and price deflation continued to compress client operating margins and constrain marketing budgets.

◦Average monthly paying clients(1) of 5,190 was up from 5,077 in the prior year. The increase from the prior year period was 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) of $2,805 decreased from $3,029 in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year period was 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 decreased to $3.3 million from $12.2 million in the prior year.

•Adjusted EBITDA(3) decreased to $39.8 million from $42.9 million in the prior year.

•Total shares outstanding across Class A and Class V Common Stock were 157.8 million as of December 31, 2025.

•Cash increased to $62.4 million as of December 31, 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 included in this release.

______________________________

(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.

(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 March 12, 2026, the Company expects first quarter 2026 revenue to decline by mid- to high-single digit percentages sequentially from the fourth quarter. Given the Company’s focus on investing opportunistically across the business, and the potential variability in the timing of these investments, the Company will not be providing Adjusted EBITDA guidance at this time. The Company remains committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and financial discipline.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable as of the date of this release. 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 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 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 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 Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026. 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 (loss), 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 (loss) 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, loss contingency, asset impairment charges, reduction in force, 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 (loss) (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 (loss) and our other GAAP results.
