For additional information, view Pagaya's first quarter 2026 letter to shareholders here.

“Our results this quarter demonstrate, once again, that at Pagaya, profitability and disciplined risk management are not in tension — they are the same strategy. As we expand our partner network and deepen product adoption, we are building the durable, through-the-cycle business that will bridge Wall Street and Main Street for the long run.”

The company also announced a leadership transition. Evangelos Perros, Chief Financial Officer, is stepping down and will be succeeded by Jon Dobres, Chief Strategy Officer effective June 15.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2025 and on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise stated.

• GAAP Net income attributable to Pagaya shareholders of $25 million in 1Q’26 (compared to the outlook of $15 million - $35 million), improved by $17 million compared to the prior year period, reflecting revenue growth, lower expenses, and normalized impairments.
• Operating income of $80 million in 1Q’26 increased 68% year-over-year driven by network volume growth and stable operating expenses.
• Network volume of $2.6 billion in 1Q’26 (compared to the outlook of $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion), grew by 9% year-over-year, or up 23% ex-SFR, driven by growth in our Auto and Point-of-Sale verticals, while maintaining our focus on prudent underwriting.
• Total revenue and other income of $318 million in 1Q’26 (compared to the outlook of $315 - $335 million), increased 10% year-over-year, driven by 130% growth in interest income.
• Revenue from fees less production costs (“FRLPC”) of $121 million in 1Q’26, increased by 5% year-over-year, FRLPC as a % of network volume (“FRLPC %”) contracted by 19 basis points year-over-year to 4.6% driven by asset class mix, new partner contributions and tighter pricing on our ABS transactions reflecting higher cost of capital and a tighter pricing in light of market conditions.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $94 million in 1Q’26 (compared to the outlook of $80 million to $95 million), grew by 18% year-over-year benefiting from growth in FRLPC and operating leverage as the business scales.
• Closed the first ~$450 million RPM resecuritization ABS highlighting demand for seasoned collateral from both new and existing RPM capital partners. This quarter we raised $2.1 billion in ABS funding across 4 transactions despite market volatility.
• First AAA Fitch Rating on $368 million PAID resecuritization; a step-change improvement in our ABS program. The expansion to a major rating agency reflects consistent credit performance, enhances secondary market liquidity, and opens up additional pockets of institutional capital.
• Year-to-date, onboarded 4 partners across all three asset classes while maintaining a disciplined risk posture. We expect to onboard additional partners this year, as we already have more prospective partners in our onboarding phase, with a mix of regional banks & non-banks.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the unaudited financial information and data contained in this press release, our shareholder letter and Form 8-K, such as Fee Revenue Less Production Costs (“FRLPC”), FRLPC as a % of Network Volume, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Core Operating Expenses and Core Operating Expenses as a % of FRLPC, have not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses the non-GAAP financial measures FRLPC, FRLPC as a % of Network Volume, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Core Operating Expenses, and Core Operating Expenses as a % of FRLPC to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and to enhance the overall understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To address these limitations, management provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., a reconciliation of FRLPC to operating income, and a reconciliation of Core Operating Expenses to operating expenses, and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, FRLPC as a % of Network Volume and Core Operating Expenses as a % of FRLPC. Management encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view the non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the respective related GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:

Fee Revenue Less Production Costs (“FRLPC”) is defined as operating income plus technology, data and product development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs, and less interest income and net investment income (loss). FRLPC as a % of Network Volume is defined as FRLPC divided by network volume.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd. excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent liability, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions and other one-time expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd. excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent liability, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions and other one-time expenses, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenue and Other Income.

Core Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses less share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, whole loan allowance for losses, transaction-related expenses, restructuring expenses and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions and other one-time expenses. Core Operating Expenses as a % of FRLPC is defined as Core Operating Expenses divided by FRLPC.

The foregoing items are excluded from our FRLPC, FRLPC as a % of Network Volume, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Core Operating Expenses, and Core Operating Expenses as a % of FRLPC measures because they are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, is not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included these non-GAAP measures because these are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, these non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition, Pagaya provides an outlook for the second quarter and full year 2026 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd. or its expected FRLPC as a % of Network Volume to expected operating income without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income (loss) attributable to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., operating income, and other reconciling items are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial results.
