IRVINE, Calif. — WM Technology Inc., a leading technology and software infrastructure provider to the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“Our third quarter results mark yet another consecutive period of strong financial performance and positive cash flow, underscoring the solid foundation our team has built,” said Doug Francis, CEO of WM Technology. “In the two years since I returned to lead the Company, first as its Executive Chair and now as its CEO, we have become a much more focused organization. Our success is a direct result of the team’s hard work, and with our increasing cash and debt-free balance sheet, we are well-positioned to make strategic growth investments in our people and marketplace as we move into next year.”
“The fundamentals of our business continue to strengthen, as evidenced by our eighth consecutive quarter of Adjusted EBITDA profitability,” said Susan Echard, CFO of WM Technology. “We are also encouraged by the recent trend in revenue, despite the effects from the strategic actions to sunset certain products last year. We are excited to build on this positive momentum as we set the stage for 2025.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Net revenues of $46.6 million increased from $45.9 million in the prior quarter and decreased from $46.7 million in prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was due to the impact on revenue related to the sunset of certain products in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by growth in certain products.
Average monthly paying clients of 5,100 increased from 5,045 in the prior quarter and decreased from 5,414 in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily driven by the impact on client count related to the sunset of the aforementioned products, as well as the removal of clients from our platform who have become delinquent and expected client churn due to continued industry challenges, such as price deflation and ongoing consolidation.
Average monthly net revenues per paying client of $3,043 increased from $3,033 in the prior quarter and increased from $2,874 in the prior year period. The increase from the prior year period was due to sunset of certain products in December 2023, which had lower average monthly spending clients.
Net income increased to $5.3 million from $1.2 million in the prior quarter and net loss of $2.5 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $11.3 million from $10.1 million in the prior quarter and $10.7 million from the prior year period.
Total shares outstanding across Class A and Class V Common Stock were 152.9 million as of September 30, 2024.
Cash increased to $45.0 million as of September 30, 2024, as compared to $34.4 million as of December 31, 2023.
