Mogo Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results


Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) ("Mogo" or the "Company"), one of Canada's leading financial technology companies, today announced its financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

"During a period of exceptional financial market volatility, we surpassed the 2 million member milestone and delivered 27% revenue growth over the prior year," said David Feller, Mogo's Founder and CEO. "We are being highly disciplined with our growth spending as our team continues building the leading next gen digital wealth platform, with a focus on new options for investing and trading. We continued advancing our commission-free stock trading product, MogoTrade, incorporating member feedback to enhance the user experience and features, with the goal of ultimately offering a best-in-class product to the Canadian market. We recently removed the waitlist and expect to ramp our marketing efforts later this year. In these uncertain economic times, financial well-being is as relevant as ever to Canadian consumers, and we want to bring them the best tools and products to help them save, invest and achieve financial freedom while also making a positive impact with their money."

Key Financial Highlights for Q2 2022

"Our Q2 results were solid despite our reduced spending on marketing and the macro environment headwinds, which further highlights the diversification and recurring nature of our revenue base. While our business has proved comparatively resilient through market cycles, we were not immune to the macroeconomic backdrop and have acted accordingly by reducing our expense base and increasing our focus on our path to profitability including shifting our investment spend to the most impactful areas such as MogoTrade and Moka," said Greg Feller, President & CFO.

Mr. Feller added: "We continue to carefully monitor a range of economic and market indicators to ensure we achieve the right balance between growth and operating profitability. Given the current economic uncertainty, we believe it is appropriate and prudent to assume these economic challenges will persist through 2023 and, as a result, we plan to continue to manage our growth investments more conservatively with a greater emphasis on driving towards profitability. Specifically, we are currently managing our growth investment spend assuming total revenue growth for 2023 in the range of 10-15%, with a goal of being Adjusted EBITDA positive by Q4 2023."

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 and adjusted net loss, 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 June 30, 2022, which is available at www.sedar.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.
