Business Context and Reporting Period

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q covers the period ended June 30, 2025. Katapult Holdings, Inc. operates a technology-driven lease-to-own platform for underserved U.S. non-prime consumers, integrating with omnichannel retailers and e-commerce platforms. The company is classified as a non-accelerated filer and a smaller reporting company. As of August 8, 2025, there were 4,569,546 shares of common stock outstanding.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Debt figures reflect the New Revolving Facility ($80.6M) and New Term Loan ($32.7M) as of June 30, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 22.1% quarter-over-quarter and 16.1% year-to-date, driven by gross origination growth and strong collections. Gross originations rose 30.4% in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024.
• Margin Compression: Gross margin declined to 15.5% in Q2 2025 from 16.9% in the prior year period. This was primarily due to higher cost of revenue associated with accelerated depreciation on early lease-purchase options (buyouts) and impairment charges, which increased disproportionately to revenue growth.
• Debt Refinancing: On June 12, 2025, the company entered into a Refinancing Agreement, replacing the Existing Credit Agreement. This included a new $110 million revolving facility and a $33 million term loan. The transaction resulted in a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
• Derivative Liability: A new derivative liability of $3.6 million was recorded related to the conversion feature of the New Term Loan.
• Operating Expenses: Operating expenses remained relatively flat quarter-over-quarter ($12.6M vs $12.5M) but increased 8.8% year-to-date due to higher compensation and administrative costs.

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 loans in the event of default.
• Covenant Compliance: The company recently failed to meet the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations covenant as of July 31, 2025, but obtained a limited waiver from lenders on August 5, 2025.
• Dilution Risk: The New Term Loan includes a conversion feature allowing lenders to convert up to 100% of the loan into common stock upon an event of default or after June 30, 2026. Additionally, 486,264 warrants were issued to Blue Owl affiliates in connection with the refinancing.
• Merchant Concentration: Wayfair represented 27% of gross originations in Q2 2025 (down from 48% in Q2 2024), while Katapult Pay represented 39% of gross originations.
• Legal Proceedings: The company settled shareholder class actions for a total of $12.0 million (partially paid in stock) and a DCA litigation for $3.0 million. A patent infringement lawsuit by FlexShopper remains pending.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Covenant Status: Verify the company's ability to maintain Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations and Minimum Liquidity covenants under the new Refinancing Agreement to avoid an Event of Default.
• Liquidity Runway: Assess the sufficiency of the $9.0 million cash balance against operating cash burn and debt service requirements given the "substantial doubt" going concern warning.
• Conversion Terms: Review the specific triggers and pricing mechanics for the Term Loan Conversion feature, which could result in significant shareholder dilution.
• Merchant Diversification: Monitor the trend of gross originations from Wayfair versus direct merchants and Katapult Pay to evaluate concentration risk.
• Asset Quality: Scrutinize the write-off rates (currently 9.8% of revenue in Q2) and the adequacy of reserves for impaired leases given the non-prime customer base.
