Business Context and Reporting Period

This report covers the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Debt figures represent the sum of the New Revolving Facility ($79.6M) and New Term Loan ($32.7M) as of September 30, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 22.8% QoQ and 18.3% YoY, driven by a 25.3% increase in gross originations ($64.2M in Q3 2025 vs. $51.2M in Q3 2024). Growth was attributed to the Katapult Pay mobile app and direct merchant expansion.
• Profitability Improvement: The company returned to operating profitability in Q3 2025 ($2.5M) compared to an operating loss of $4.4M in Q3 2024. This was primarily due to a $4.3M reduction in operating expenses, driven by lower litigation settlement costs and personnel costs.
• Debt Restructuring: In June 2025, the company entered a Refinancing Agreement, replacing the Existing Credit Agreement. This included a new $110M revolving facility and a $32.7M term loan with an 18% PIK interest rate. A $1.0M loss on extinguishment of the prior term loan was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
• Derivative Liability: A new derivative liability of $5.1M was recorded related to the conversion feature of the New Term Loan, resulting in a $1.6M fair value loss in Q3 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Going Concern: The filing explicitly states that the terms of the New Revolving Credit Facility, including rigorous covenants, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of the financial statements. The company anticipates it will not have sufficient cash to repay the facility in an event of default.
• Covenant Compliance: The company has repeatedly failed to meet the "Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations" covenant as of July, August, September, and October 2025. Lenders (Blue Owl) have granted a series of temporary waivers, with a permanent waiver granted in November 2025.
• Subsequent Events (Nov 2025):
  • Preferred Stock Issuance: The company issued Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for $65.0M in gross proceeds. Proceeds were used to repay the New Term Loan in full.
  • Board Changes: Three directors resigned, and new directors were appointed in connection with the preferred stock issuance.
  • Amendment: The Refinancing Agreement was amended to permanently waive the originations covenant and remove the Term Loan Conversion rights.
• Risks: Key risks include concentration of gross originations with Wayfair (25% in Q3 2025), reliance on non-prime consumer spending, potential for increased delinquencies, and the high cost of capital (18% PIK on term loan, ~12% on revolver).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Covenant Status: Verify the current status of the "Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations" covenant and whether the permanent waiver obtained in November 2025 is sufficient to prevent future defaults.
• Liquidity Position: Assess the impact of the $65M preferred stock issuance on the company's immediate liquidity and ability to service the remaining $79.6M revolving debt.
• Preferred Stock Terms: Review the dividend rates (18% compounding weekly initially) and conversion terms of the Series A and B Preferred Stock to understand potential dilution and cash flow obligations.
• Merchant Concentration: Monitor the relationship with Wayfair, which accounted for 25% of Q3 gross originations, and the risk of losing this key partner.
• Derivative Liability: Track the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the debt, which has caused significant non-cash losses in recent quarters.
