PROG Holdings Updates 2026 Outlook Ahead of Investor Day

Key Terms

asc 606 financial

A U.S. accounting standard that sets consistent rules for when and how companies record revenue from contracts with customers, focusing on the transfer of promised goods or services. It matters to investors because it affects the timing and amount of reported sales and profit—like deciding whether a contractor can count payment when a job starts, progresses, or finishes—so it improves comparability and helps assess a company's true economic performance.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Four Technologies, MoneyApp, and Purchasing Power, today announced it is updating its full year 2026 outlook, specifically for its Purchasing Power business, ahead of its Investor Day in New York City on March 10, 2026.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Purchasing Power in January 2026, the Company will be applying revenue recognition standard ASC 606, which the Company believes will primarily result in changes to revenue reported for Purchasing Power’s Travel and Service product categories. Specifically, Travel and Service revenue will be reported net of certain direct costs, resulting in a reduction in total Purchasing Power revenue of approximately $70 million at both the high-end and low-end of the ranges the Company provided in its 2026 guidance on February 18, 2026. This result, along with other less significant adjustments that are required in connection with the Company’s application of ASC 606, are not expected to have a material impact on Purchasing Power’s gross margin, earnings before taxes or adjusted EBITDA. Similarly, the Company continues to expect Purchasing Power’s 2026 revenue to grow at a low double-digit rate. The Company’s financial expectations for 2026 otherwise remain unchanged from the guidance it provided on February 18, 2026.

The Company’s assumptions underlying its outlook also remain unchanged from those disclosed in its February 18, 2026 guidance, including no material changes in the Company’s current decisioning posture. Further, it assumes the continuation of a difficult operating environment with soft demand for consumer durable goods, and does not assume a material economic slowdown resulting from, among other things, current Iran-related hostilities.

	Revised 2026 Outlook					Previous 2026 Outlook
(In thousands)	Low		High			Low		High
PROG Holdings - Total Revenues from Continuing Operations	$	2,950,000	$	3,070,000		$	3,020,000	$	3,140,000
Purchasing Power - Total Revenues	610,000		660,000			680,000		730,000
