VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 08, 2025-- 

Mogo Inc. $(MOGO)$ (TSX:MOGO) ("Mogo" or the "Company"), a digital wealth and payments business, today announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"Our Q1 results were highlighted by continued strong double-digit growth from our Wealth and Payments businesses -- the two main growth priorities for Mogo," said Greg Feller, Mogo's Chief Financial Officer. "Given our current scale in these markets, and the massive opportunity for disruption through innovation, we are making disciplined investments in these businesses while maintaining positive Adjusted EBITDA. This is about scaling intelligently and with agility as we build for long-term growth, underpinned our new AI-native platform strategy. We increased our cash position from year end, and expect additional monetizations this year to further strengthen our balance sheet."

"This quarter we launched MOGO 3.0, our internal initiative to become a fully AI-native company," said David Feller, Mogo's Founder and CEO. "That means consolidating our platforms, automating core workflows, and embedding AI across wealth, lending, and operations. We've already begun executing on this transformation, and we believe it sets the foundation for stronger margins, faster product development, and smarter customer experiences going forward."

   -- Mogo members increased to 2.22 million at quarter end, up 5% from Q1 
      2024. 
 
   -- Continued growth in payments volume -- Mogo's digital payment solutions 
      business, Carta Worldwide, processed $3.2 billion of payment volume in Q1

      its strong product improvement to its wealth offerings, including: 
 
          -- Continued to scale our AI-native customer support capabilities, 
             resulting in an approximate 100% increase in customer inquiries 
             resolved autonomously through email and chat 
 
          -- Expanded our AI-powered investing mastery feature, launching

      institutional brokerage business, as part of management's strategic focus 
      on eliminating sub-scale revenue streams and prioritizing higher margin 
      offerings. The institutional brokerage business contributed $5.3 million 
      of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, with a negligible 
      operating margin. These revenues are reported within other subscription 
      and services revenue. 
 
   -- Carta OCI migration -- Mogo's payments subsidiary, Carta, completed its 
      transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ("OCI"), better positioning the 
      business to scale and achieve its vision to become one of the leading 
      low-cost payments platforms in Europe. 

Financial Outlook

The outlook that follows made by Mogo, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Mogo's control. Please see "Forward-looking Statements" below for more information.

Mogo reiterated its financial guidance for fiscal 2025 as outlined with its year-end financial results. Key elements of this include the following:

   -- When adjusting for the previously disclosed exit of the brokerage 
      business, the Company expects subscription & services revenue to grow at 
      a mid-to-high single-digit rate. 
 
   -- The Company expects revenue from wealth to increase by 20-25% in 2025, 
      and its payments business is projected to grow in the mid- to-high teens 
      percentages. 
 
   -- Interest revenue from the Company's lending business is expected to 
      decrease by approximately 8-10% in 2025, driven by a more cautious 
      approach to lending due to economic uncertainty. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA3 is expected to be in the range of $5 to $6 million. 

(1) Includes cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents.

(2) Non-IFRS measure. For more information regarding our use of these non-IFRS measures and, where applicable, a reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS measure, see "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the Company's MD&A for the period ended March 31, 2025.

(3) Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue and adjusted net income (loss) are non-IFRS measures. Management has not reconciled these forward-looking non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measure, net loss before tax. This is because the Company cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of certain IFRS components of such reconciliations due to market-related assumptions that are not within our control as well as certain legal or advisory costs, tax costs or other costs that may arise. For these reasons, management is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable IFRS measures.

Conference Call & Webcast

Mogo will host a conference call to discuss its Q1 2025 financial results at 3:00 p.m. ET on May 8, 2025. The call will be hosted by David Feller, Founder and CEO, and Greg Feller, President and CFO. To participate in the call, dial (289) 514-5100 or (800) 717-1738 (International) using conference ID: 77526. The webcast can be accessed at http://investors.mogo.ca. Listeners should access the webcast or call 10-15 minutes before the start time to ensure they are connected.

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 March 31, 2025, 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.
