The board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $300 million of Class A common stock, replacing a prior $125 million authorization that had about $113.2 million remaining.

  • Stronger capital return via buybacks: The board approved a new $300 million Class A share repurchase authorization, more than doubling the previous $125 million program and reflecting confidence in future cash generation.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Dave posts 60%+ growth, sharp profit gains, and a larger buyback.

Dave Inc. delivered exceptional 2025 performance. Revenue grew to $554.2M, up 60%, while GAAP net income climbed to $195.9M, a 238% increase. Non-GAAP gross profit reached $401.5M with a higher 72% margin, showing strong unit economics and operating leverage.

Profitability improved rapidly, with adjusted EBITDA rising to $226.7M, up 162%. Q4 trends were similarly robust, supported by 50% ExtraCash origination growth, a record 4.8% monetization rate net of losses, and better delinquency metrics, indicating both growth and credit quality progress.

Management’s 2026 outlook targets $690–$710M in revenue and $290–$305M in adjusted EBITDA, implying continued high growth with expanding margins. The new $300M share repurchase authorization, significantly larger than the prior $125M program, signals confidence in cash generation and provides additional capital allocation flexibility.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 2, 2026, Dave Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 25, 2026, Dave Inc. (“the Company”) and Jason Wilk, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, entered into an amendment (the “Wilk Amendment”) to Mr. Wilk's employment agreement with the Company dated January 4, 2022 (the “Wilk Employment Agreement”). The Wilk Amendment provides that, unless otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, in the event of a termination of Mr. Wilk’s employment for a reason other than Cause, Mr. Wilk’s death or disability, in each case, outside the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following a Change in Control (such period, the “CIC Protection Period”), Mr. Wilk’s then-outstanding performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) will be treated as follows: (i) if the termination occurs after the performance period is over, the PSUs will accelerate based on actual performance, effective as of the termination date; (ii) if the termination occurs during the performance period, the PSUs will vest on a pro-rata basis, based on actual performance for the full performance period and (iii) if the termination occurs before the performance period applicable to a tranche has started, such tranche will be forfeited. The Wilk Amendment also provides that, upon a Change in Control, unless otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, PSUs generally remain subject to their original time-based vesting requirements but are converted into RSUs based on (i) the greater of target and actual performance for in-progress performance periods, or (ii) target performance for performance periods that have not started, provided that, if Mr. Wilk experiences a termination without Cause or resigns for Good Reason during the CIC Protection Period, all of Mr. Wilk’s unvested and outstanding equity awards (giving effect to the foregoing for PSUs), except the Performance Options, will immediately vest and become exercisable upon his termination of employment. The terms “Cause”, “Change in Control” “Good Reason” and “Performance Options” have the meaning ascribed to them in the Wilk Employment Agreement.

On March 2, 2026, the Company and Kyle Beilman entered into an amendment (the “Beilman Amendment”) to Mr. Beilman's employment agreement with the Company. The Beilman Amendment is the same in all material respects as the Wilk Amendment, except the Beilman Amendment (i) reflects Mr. Beilman’s current position as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, (ii) provides for an increase in annual base salary rate to $475,000, target bonus of 75% of Mr. Beilman’s base salary, and target annual long-term incentive opportunity for 2026 of $4,000,000 and (iii) the reference to Performance Options does not apply to Mr. Beilman.

The foregoing descriptions of the Wilk Amendment and the Beilman Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Wilk Amendment and the Beilman Amendment, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program to buy back up to $300 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. The new program replaces the existing share repurchase program, which provided for up to $125 million repurchasing authority. Prior to being replaced, approximately $113.2 million remained available under the existing program. The authorization does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares. Timing, manner, total amount and other terms of any repurchases will be subject to several factors including market conditions, stock price, business performance and alternative investment decisions and capital allocation.

Dave Reports Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2025 Financial Results

 

Q4 Revenue Increases 62% to $163.7 Million; FY 2025 Revenue Increases 60% to $554.2 Million

Q4 Net Income Grows 292% to $66.0 Million; FY 2025 Net Income Increases 238% to $195.9 Million

Q4 Adj. EBITDA Increases 118% to $72.9 Million; FY 2025 Adj. EBITDA Increases 162% to $226.7 Million

Establishes 2026 Outlook Reflecting Revenue Growth of 25% - 28% with Expanding Adj. EBITDA Margins

Increases Share Repurchase Authorization from $125 Million to $300 Million
 

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 2, 2026 – Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation’s leading neobanks, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

 

“We closed 2025 with another record quarter, marking our third consecutive period of 60%+ year-over-year revenue growth,” said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. “We once again demonstrated the durability of our growth algorithm, as ARPU expanded 36% year-over-year and monthly transacting members (“MTMs”) accelerated 19%. Our 2.9 million MTMs are still a small fraction of what we estimate to be the overall 185 million customer TAM, and we believe we’re still early in our journey to drive incremental ARPU through underwriting enhancements, ExtraCash features and pricing, and new credit products. These factors give us tremendous confidence that we can continue to deliver strong growth for many years to come.

 

“Powered by CashAI v5.5 of our underwriting engine, we reduced our 28-day past due rate significantly even as originations grew by 50%. This combination of delivering what we believe are the most competitive credit offers for our members while generating strong and improving unit economics creates an increasingly powerful moat around our business.

 

“We have entered 2026 in a position of great strength. Regardless of the broader macroeconomic environment, we believe we are very well-positioned to continue scaling profitably.”

Liquidity Summary

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $123.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments, and restricted cash, compared to $93.6 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase is largely due to higher free cash flow generation, partially offset by higher receivables balances and $11.8 million in share repurchases. The Company did not increase utilization of its credit facility during the quarter.

Dave’s CFO and COO, Kyle Beilman, commented: “Q4 results reflect continued improvement in our unit economics. Average ExtraCash origination size grew 20% year-over-year, and net monetization rate reached a record 4.8%. As a result, gross profit payback periods improved further to under four months. Looking ahead, our 2026 outlook reflects continued execution against our baseline medium term growth algorithm of mid-teens MTM growth and low double digit ARPU expansion. We have a disciplined growth strategy in place, balancing strong profitability with investments in new product development and go-to-market capabilities that we believe will drive future growth. We expect to continue expanding annual Adj. EBITDA margins, given strong revenue flow-through to Adj. EBITDA, which exceeded 60% in Q4.”

 

Beilman added, “With strong conversion of Adj. EBITDA into free cash flow, combined with our year-end cash position and the incremental liquidity expected from our Coastal Community Bank funding arrangement mid-year, our forecasted total cash for the year represents a meaningful double-digit percentage of our current enterprise value. This liquidity should provide significant flexibility to execute on our capital allocation priorities, including significant, opportunistic share repurchases under our new $300 million authorization, while continuing to invest in profitable growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains references to adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, and adjusted net income per share (basic and diluted) of Dave, which are adjusted from results based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and exclude 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, discretionary or non-recurring income, gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, changes in fair value of earnout liability and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities. The Company defines and calculates variable operating expenses as provision for credit losses, processing and servicing costs and financial network and transaction costs. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP operating revenues, net excluding variable operating expenses. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP gross profit margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of GAAP operating revenues, net. The Company defines and calculates adjusted net income as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, discretionary or non-recurring income, the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, the tax impact related to the gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, non-recurring legal settlement and litigation expenses, the tax impact related to the release of the valuation allowance, changes in fair value of earnout liability and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP adjusted net income per share - basic and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share - diluted as adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares of common stock-basic and weighted average shares of common stock-diluted, respectively.
