DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Business— Katapult Holdings, Inc.(“Katapult” or the “Company”) is a technology driven lease-to-own ("LTO") platform that integrates with omnichannel retailers and e-commerce platforms to power the purchasing of everyday durable goods for underserved U.S. non-prime consumers. Through the Company's POS integrations and innovative mobile app (the “Katapult App”) featuring Katapult Pay® (“KPay”) consumers who may be unable to access traditional financing can shop a growing network of merchants. The Company experiences moderate seasonal fluctuations in our revenue as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, revenue is strongest during the first quarter primarily due to higher gross originations during the fourth quarter holiday season. First quarter revenue is also impacted by the federal and state income tax refunds that customers receive, which in the past, has led to our customers more frequently exercising the early purchase option on their lease agreements. Adverse events that occur could have a disproportionate effect on our financial results throughout the year. Subsidiaries— The consolidated financial statements of Katapult includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Katapult Intermediate Holdings LLC (formerly known as Keys Merger Sub 2, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company formed in December 2020, Katapult Group, Inc.
