LOS ANGELES, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation’s leading neobanks, today announced certain preliminary, unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The Company expects to release full, audited financial results and file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 on March 2, 2026.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Preliminary Financial Results
($ in millions, unaudited)

*The Company previously provided updated 2025 financial guidance on November 4, 2025. This guidance stated that Operating Revenues, Net and Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 were expected to be in the range of $544 - 547 million and $215 - 218 million, respectively. The figures in the tables above represent the midpoints of those financial guidance ranges. Fourth quarter guidance implied based on year-to-date third quarter results.
**Non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 will be included in the Company’s earnings release for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, scheduled to be reported on March 2, 2026. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

The Company also expects its 4Q25 28 Days Past Due (28DPD) metric to be within the range of 1.95% to 2.00%, improving from the previously disclosed expectation of below 2.10%.

"We closed out 2025 with another record quarter, capping the strongest year in our company's history," said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. "Q4 represented our third consecutive quarter of 60%+ revenue growth, driven by accelerating monthly transacting member growth, continued ARPU expansion, and strong underlying demand for our products.

"The operating leverage embedded in our model continued to strengthen throughout 2025: full-year Adjusted EBITDA grew over 160%, nearly three times our revenue growth rate, a direct result of strengthening unit economics and deepening member relationships while maintaining our discipline on fixed costs. Credit performance continued to improve in the fourth quarter, powered by our proprietary CashAI underwriting engine.

“Furthermore, we are closely monitoring the recent proposal to limit credit card rates to 10%. We believe a meaningful rate cap on credit card interest rates would be a tailwind for our business: if issuer economics are materially compressed, industry leaders have suggested credit card access could decline by as much as 80%, with the sharpest pullback affecting non-prime and sub-prime consumers. Importantly, the need for liquidity does not disappear; it shifts to alternatives that better match a customer’s needs and ability to repay such as ExtraCash, which does not charge compound interest or late fees.”

Preliminary Financial and Operating Results

The financial information in this press release is preliminary, unaudited, based on currently available information, and subject to adjustment in the final financial statements to be filed with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The preliminary results set forth above reflect preliminary, unaudited estimates based solely on currently available information, which is subject to change. Such preliminary results are subject to the finalization of year-end financial and accounting procedures. While carrying out such procedures, Dave may identify items that would require it to make adjustments to the preliminary estimates of financial results set forth herein. As a result, Dave's actual financial results could differ from the information set forth herein and such differences could be material. Moreover, preliminary and estimated financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for Dave's full annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, which is adjusted from results based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and excludes certain expenses, gains and losses. The Company defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income before the impact of interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted to exclude non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring income, gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, changes in fair value of earnout liabilities and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities.

This non-GAAP financial measure 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 this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The methods the Company uses to compute this non-GAAP financial measure 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.

The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure because it is unable to calculate without unreasonable effort the exact amount of the reconciling items. The Company is currently finalizing certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure or the individual adjustments for such reconciliations. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 will be included in the Company’s earnings release for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, scheduled to be reported on March 2, 2026.
