Dave Reports Record Second Quarter 2024 Results
Record Q2 Revenue up 31% Y/Y to $80.1 Million; Y/Y Revenue Growth Accelerates for Third Consecutive Quarter
Q2 GAAP Net Income Increases $29.0 Million Y/Y to $6.4 Million and Adj. EBITDA Increases $28.3 Million Y/Y to $15.2 Million
Dave Raises 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance to $40-$50 Million
LOS ANGELES, CA – August 5, 2024 – Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation’s leading neobanks, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“2024 continues to show impressive results as we exceeded growth and profitability expectations again in the second quarter” said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. “Continued strong demand for our products and solid execution from our team led to another record quarter of revenue. Additionally, this is our third consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth, fueled by ARPU expansion and an increase in monthly transacting members to a record 2.3 million. The continued efficiency in our customer acquisition, combined with remarkable loss rates powered by CashAI and further rationalization of our fixed expense base, led to a 15% sequential increase in Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe underscores the inherent operating leverage in our business model.”

Liquidity Summary
The Company had $89.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments and restricted cash as of June 30, 2024 compared to $101.5 million at March 31, 2024. The reduction was primarily attributed to an increase in the advance receivables outstanding at quarter-end due largely to an increase in ExtraCash originations in the quarter. Also, the Company did not increase utilization of its debt facility during the quarter.
2024 Financial Guidance ($ in millions)
| FY 2024 | ||
| GAAP Operating Revenues, Net Year-Over-Year Growth |
$310 - $325 (previously $305 - $325) 20% - 25% | |
| Adjusted EBITDA* Year-Over-Year Improvement |
$40 - $50 (previously $30 - $40) $50 - $60 | |
*Non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of the reconciling items, including interest expense, investment income, and loss provision, among others. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Dave’s CFO Kyle Beilman, commented: “We believe this quarter’s performance is further validation of our strong and scalable business model. We are once again raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year to $40—$50 million, reflecting our solid year-to-date results and positive outlook for the remainder of the year, and our expectation around loss provision in the back half of the year given quarter-end calendar dynamics in September and December. Credit performance remains strong thus far in the third quarter which we expect to continue for the balance of the year. Overall, with a solid balance sheet and continued focus on efficient growth, we are well-positioned to achieve our growth and profitability objectives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA (loss), adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP variable operating expenses, non-GAAP variable profit and non-GAAP variable profit margin of Dave, which are non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from results based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. The Company defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Dave before the impact of interest income or expense, provision/(benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and adjusted to exclude legal settlement and litigation expenses, other non-recurring strategic financing and transaction expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other non-core items. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP variable operating expenses as operating expenses excluding non-variable operating expenses. The Company defines non-variable operating expenses as all advertising and marketing operating expenses, compensation and benefits operating expenses, and certain operating expenses (legal, rent, technology/infrastructure, depreciation, amortization, charitable contributions, other operating expenses, upfront Member account activation costs and upfront Dave Banking expenses). The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP variable profit as GAAP Operating Revenues, Net less non-GAAP variable operating expenses. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP variable profit margin as non-GAAP variable profit as a percent of GAAP Operating Revenues, Net. The Company defines and calculates adjusted net income (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock compensation, the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, the tax impact related to the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt and certain other non-core items. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP adjusted basic EPS and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares of common stock-basic and weighted average shares of common stock-diluted, respectively.
These non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to the user in assessing our operating performance and facilitate an alternative comparison among fiscal periods. The Company’s management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The methods the Company uses to compute these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
