Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Katapult Holdings, Inc. (KPLT) reported its first quarter with combined company operations following the August 11, 2026 merger with Aaron’s and CCFI. Third-quarter revenue was $753.9 million, gross profit was $437.7 million and operating profit was $24.9 million; net loss was $28.0 million, which the company attributed primarily to interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $110.4 million.

On a combined full-quarter basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $131.7 million, up 23% from $106.8 million, and its margin was 13.1% versus 10.5%. Combined net loss was $44.5 million versus $30.1 million. These combined figures include all three businesses for the full quarter; reported Q3 results include CCFI for the full quarter but Aaron’s and Katapult only from August 11, making reported year-over-year results not directly comparable. The company has identified approximately $30 million in annualized cost synergies.

Fourth-quarter outlook is revenue of $975 million to $1,025 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $105 million to $120 million. It assumes consumer headwinds continue with no improvement through year-end. Debt was $1.95 billion as of September 30, 2026, and net leverage was 3.5x.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure"
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.
Net leverage financial
"Net leverage is a ratio of two non-GAAP financial measures"
Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.

Katapult Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
First Quarter with Combined Company Operations; Integration Well Underway
Approximately $30 Million in Annualized Cost Synergies Identified
Company Issues Fourth Quarter 2026 Outlook

ATLANTA, Georgia, November 12, 2026— Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult Holdings” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KPLT), a scaled, technology and data-driven platform serving nonprime consumers seeking greater financial flexibility, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“Our first quarter with combined company operations marks an important milestone for Katapult Holdings and was defined by speed of execution,” said Cory Miller, CEO of Katapult Holdings. “Since closing the merger in August, our teams have hit the ground running, and I want to thank everyone across our brands for their hard work and dedication. We’ve already identified approximately $30 million in annualized cost synergies and we’re building on that, with revenue opportunities across the business. We’re also putting our technology and data to work across our brands to help us approve the right customers and lower our cost to serve them. At the same time, we are focused on our plans to optimize our balance sheet with the goal of reducing our cost of funding. We believe the work we’ve done positions us to transform Katapult Holdings into a trusted destination for nonprime consumers and create long-term value for all our stakeholders.”

Factors Affecting Comparability to Prior Periods

On August 11, 2026, Katapult Holdings completed its business combination with The Aaron’s Company, Inc. (“Aaron’s”) and CCF Holdings, LLC (“CCFI”) through a series of merger transactions (the “Mergers”). Our financial results for the third quarter of 2026 are not directly comparable to the Company’s prior year results due to the Mergers. Based on the accounting treatment for the Mergers, the financial results in this press release reflect: (i) Q3 2026 financial and certain operating results that include CCFI, which comprises the Consumer Finance segment, for the full quarter, and the Aaron’s and Katapult businesses, which comprise the Lease-to-Own & Retail segment, only for the period beginning on August 11, 2026; and (ii) Q3 2025 financial and operating results that only include CCFI and its consolidated subsidiaries. These factors will impact year-over-year comparability for our Consolidated and Lease-to-Own & Retail segment financial results through the end of the third quarter of 2027. Additional information regarding the Mergers is included in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Close of Mergers and Integration Update

On August 11, 2026, Katapult Holdings, Aaron’s and CCFI combined in the “Mergers” to create a scaled platform serving nonprime consumers across lease-to-own, retail and consumer finance.

To date, the Company has identified approximately $30 million in annualized cost synergies and is pursuing additional revenue opportunities.

Cost synergies

•Combined leadership and support roles across the business and reduced the corporate and regional office footprint.
•Consolidating vendors and contracts, including payroll and HR systems, financial reporting tools, data and professional services.
•Moving finance, accounting, HR, technology and marketing into shared teams on common platforms.

Revenue synergies

•Connecting the customer journey across our brands, starting with lease-to-own offers for consumer finance customers.
•Expanding protection plans to virtual lease-to-own and adding new product categories in stores through merchant partnerships.
•Growing the virtual lease-to-own merchant pipeline and coordinating customer acquisition across the business.

“We’re still early, but we’re executing well on our integration plan,” said Russ Falkenstein, CFO of Katapult Holdings. “On a combined basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin was up more than 250 basis points year-over-year. Our fourth quarter outlook reflects a cautious view of the consumer, and we’re staying deliberate on underwriting and protecting margin rather than chasing volume. We’re also focused on reducing our cost of funding, which we believe will improve earnings and cash flow and create value for our shareholders.”

Revenues$975 $1,025

The outlook reflects a cautious view of the consumer. Macroeconomic headwinds are impacting customer behavior, resulting in lower average ticket sizes and more selective spending in lease-to-own. The outlook assumes these conditions continue through year-end with no improvement, and reflects the Company’s continued disciplined approach to underwriting.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this press release that are not historical facts include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s fourth quarter 2026 outlook; expected cost and revenue synergies and the timing of their realization; integration plans; plans to optimize the balance sheet, simplify the capital structure and reduce interest expense and cost of capital; and future financial and operating performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results might differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and assumptions of the management of Katapult Holdings, CCFI and Aaron’s, respectively, and can often be identified by terms and phrases that include “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “will,” “potential,” “forecast,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” or other similar terminology. Various factors may cause actual results to be materially different than the suggested outcomes within forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such results will be realized.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others: the combined company’s ability to successfully integrate the businesses of Katapult, Aaron’s and CCFI; the combined company’s ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction, including expected synergies, operating efficiencies, enhanced underwriting capabilities, product innovation and growth opportunities; disruption of management’s attention from ongoing business operations due to integration matters; potential adverse changes to relationships with customers, suppliers, franchisees, merchant partners, lenders, creditors, financing sources, employees and other business partners; the ability to retain key personnel; risks related to the Company’s capital structure, indebtedness, liquidity, cost of capital and compliance with restrictive covenants; the availability of financing and the Company’s ability to access capital on acceptable terms; credit performance, delinquency, charge-off and collection trends; changes in customer demand, consumer behavior, economic conditions, inflation, interest rates and other macroeconomic factors; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction or integration; the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls, financial reporting systems, technology systems and data infrastructure across the combined business; risks related to cybersecurity, data privacy and platform reliability; the Company’s ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to its business, including laws and regulations related to rental purchase transactions, consumer credit, alternative financial services, data privacy and consumer protection; litigation, regulatory inquiries, enforcement actions, complaints, adverse publicity and other legal proceedings; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the combined company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements in this press release. All forward-looking statements contained herein are based on information available as of the date hereof, and the combined company does not assume any obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law.





Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures presented in this press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents certain non-GAAP and other measures of financial performance. The Company believes that for management and investors to more effectively compare core performance from period to period, non-GAAP measures should exclude items that are not indicative of our results from ongoing business operations. The Company urges investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with its GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to its comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking outlook for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include acquisition-related costs, restructuring expenses, litigation and settlement expenses and certain other unusual adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation on property plant and equipment and intangibles, amortization on intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, net, acquisition-related costs, litigation and settlement expenses, non-interest related financing fees, and other non-recurring charges.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Net leverage is a ratio of two non-GAAP financial measures: Net debt and Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period. Net debt is calculated as the Company’s total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net leverage are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company’s performance because these measures:

•Are widely used to measure a company’s operating performance;
•Are financial measurements used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate the Company’s credit worthiness; and
•Are used by the Company’s management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are not part of our core operations, highly variable or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net loss, gross profit, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
