Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

Green Dot announced that during the quarter it entered into, and in April it completed, a $25 million accelerated share repurchase program (“ASR”) in conjunction with its previously announced $100 million share repurchase program (the “Program”) authorized by Green Dot’s Board of Directors in February 2022. In total, 914,037 shares were delivered under the ASR at an average price of $27.35 per share.

As of May 5, 2022, approximately $72 million remains available under the Program.

Unencumbered cash at the holding company was $82.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

“We started 2022 off with solid earnings performance as a combination of underlying growth coupled with a focus on cost control and driving efficiency allowed us to deliver revenue and earnings growth despite facing tough comparisons versus last year. With the solid performance in the first quarter we are raising our 2022 guidance while maintaining our ability to invest in our strategic initiatives,” said George Gresham, CFO and COO of Green Dot.

Updated 2022 Financial Guidance

Green Dot has provided its updated financial outlook for 2022. Green Dot’s outlook is based on a number of assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time of this earnings release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in Green Dot’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total Non-GAAP Operating Revenues2

  • Green Dot reaffirms its full year non-GAAP total operating revenues2 to be between $1.394 billion and $1.430 billion, or up 2% year-over-year at the mid-point.

Adjusted EBITDA2

  • Green Dot now expects its full year adjusted EBITDA2 to be between $230 million and $240 million, or up 8% year-over-year at the mid-point.

Non-GAAP EPS2

  • Green Dot now expects its full year non-GAAP EPS2 to be between $2.32 and $2.46, or up 8% year-over-year at the mid-point.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Green Dot’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), Green Dot uses measures of operating results that are adjusted for, among other things, non-operating net interest income and expense; other non-interest investment income earned by our bank; income tax benefit and expense; depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired intangibles; certain legal settlement gains and charges; stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; transaction costs from acquisitions; amortization attributable to deferred financing costs, impairment charges; extraordinary severance expenses; earnings or losses from equity method investments; changes in the fair value of loans held for sale; commissions and certain processing-related costs associated with Banking as a Service (“BaaS”) products and services where Green Dot does not control customer acquisition; other charges and income not reflective of ongoing operating results; and income tax effects. This earnings release includes non-GAAP total operating revenues, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with, and are not alternatives or substitutes for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with Green Dot’s financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Green Dot’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Green Dot believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding underlying trends in its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Green Dot’s management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate Green Dot’s business and make operating decisions. For additional information regarding Green Dot’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and the items excluded by Green Dot from one or more of its historic and projected non-GAAP financial measures, investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of Green Dot’s historic and projected non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are attached to this earnings release, and which can be found by clicking on “Financial Information” in the Investor Relations section of Green Dot’s website at http://ir.greendot.com/.

Total segment profit is also referred to herein as adjusted EBITDA in its non-GAAP measures. Additional information about the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures can be found under the caption “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Green Dot’s segment reporting is based on how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages its businesses, including resource allocation and performance assessment. Its CODM (who is the Chief Executive Officer) organizes and manages the business primarily on the basis of the channels in which its product and services are offered and uses net revenue and segment profit to assess profitability. Segment profit reflects each segment’s net revenue less direct costs, such as sales and marketing expenses, processing expenses, third-party call center support and transaction losses.
