Raises 2026 Revenue, Adj. EBITDA and Adj. Diluted EPS Guidance

LOS ANGELES, CA – August 5, 2026 – Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation's leading neobanks, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“We closed the first half with our ninth consecutive quarter of at least 30% year-over-year revenue growth as we once again demonstrated the strength and durability of our business,” said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. “The rollout of CashAI v6.0, alongside the relaxing of legacy fee caps and planned higher ExtraCash limits, gives us even greater conviction in our ARPU outlook. In addition, early engagement with Dave Flex has been promising and we continue to expand test cohorts. At the same time, we expect MTM growth to accelerate in the second half of 2026, supported by strong member acquisition trends.”

Wilk continued, “Based on our strong first-half performance, the depth of our product roadmap, and the significant operating leverage we continue to see in our model, we are raising our full-year 2026 guidance for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted EPS.”

(1) Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company updated its definitions of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to exclude: (i) other strategic financing and transactional expenses and (ii) litigation expenses related to the FTC/DOJ matter; Adjusted EBITDA was further updated to exclude (iii) funding costs. Prior periods have not been recast because the effect of these items on such periods was immaterial.

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Highlights (vs. Second Quarter 2025)

Liquidity Summary

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $254.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash, compared to $177.8 million as of March 31, 2026. The $76.6 million increase was primarily driven by $93.0 million funded through the Coastal Community Bank arrangement, offset by $19.1 million of share repurchases during the quarter, leaving $94.1 million available under the Company’s share repurchase authorization.

2026 Financial Guidance ($ in millions)

*Non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of the reconciling items, including interest expense, investment income, and loss provision, among others. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Dave's CFO and COO, Kyle Beilman, commented: “This quarter demonstrated the quality of our earnings growth. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded nearly 300 basis points year-over-year to 72%. Credit performance remained strong, with our 28-day past due rate improving 6% year-over-year while originations grew 27%. That strength has continued into the third quarter, supported by the early rollout of our CashAI v6.0 underwriting model, which we expect to sustain loss rates in a similar range to Q2 while driving larger ExtraCash origination sizes. With loss provision calendar dynamics turning favorable in the second half, we expect non-GAAP gross margin to continue expanding into the mid-70s.”

“Marketing and activation investment grew 32% year-over-year while CAC held flat at $19, further demonstrating the scalability of our growth engine. As returns have exceeded our expectations at higher spend levels, we plan to invest above our original plan in the second half. Near term, that incremental investment is expected to shift our growth mix toward MTMs, as newer members begin at lower ARPU and monetize more over time.”

“Our Coastal Community Bank funding structure had $93.0 million outstanding at the end of Q2. As this program scales, it makes our funding model significantly more capital-efficient, lowers our cost of funds, and frees up meaningful liquidity to pursue high-return organic growth opportunities and continue to return capital to shareholders.”

This press release contains references to adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, 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.

and litigation expenses related to the FTC/DOJ matter, stock-based compensation expense, other strategic financing and transactional expenses, discretionary or non-recurring income, changes in fair value of earnout liabilities and changes in fair value of public and private warrant liabilities. The Company defines and calculates adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP operating revenues, net.
