PROG Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results
•Consolidated revenues of $625.8 million, down 3.8% year-over-year
•Consolidated earnings before taxes of $27.3 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $65.0 million or 10.4% of revenues
•Diluted EPS of $0.32; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.68
•Progressive Leasing write-offs of 7.2%, down from 9.8% in Q2 2022
•E-commerce 16.5% of Progressive Leasing GMV
SALT LAKE CITY, October 26, 2022 - PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Vive Financial, and Four Technologies, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"I am proud of our team as we continue to deliver value for our customers and retail partners in the face of significant macro-economic headwinds," said PROG Holdings President and CEO Steve Michaels. “During the quarter, we saw meaningful improvement in the quality of our leased asset portfolio as a result of changes we made to tighten our decisioning earlier in the year, resulting in lower write-offs compared to the second quarter of 2022. We also drove increased efficiencies in our cost structure, as the actions we took last quarter meaningfully improved our third quarter results. While the retail backdrop remains challenging, we are executing on key GMV initiatives with our retail partners that have enabled us to partially mitigate the impacts of the current macro-economic environment. We believe our strong balance sheet, profitability, and free cash flow generation best position us to take advantage of the large underserved market that remains.”
Consolidated Results
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $625.8 million, a decrease of 3.8% from the same period in 2021. The Company's revenue benefited from further penetration with large national partners and continued growth in e-commerce, but those benefits were more than offset by the impact of weak retail traffic and lower approval rates.
The Company reported consolidated net earnings for the third quarter of 2022 of $16.0 million compared with $57.4 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was $65.0 million compared with $93.6 million for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of revenues, adjusted EBITDA was 10.4% in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 14.4% for the same period in 2021.
The year-over-year declines in adjusted EBITDA and net earnings in the quarter were primarily driven by pressures on our lease portfolio performance this year compared with the stimulus-aided year ago period, resulting in lower revenue and higher write-offs.
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2022 were $0.32 compared with $0.86 in the year ago period. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.68 in the third quarter of 2022 compared with $0.94 for the same quarter in 2021. Our weighted average share count in the third quarter was 23.7% lower than the same quarter in 2021.
Progressive Leasing Results
Progressive Leasing's third quarter GMV decreased 11.3% to $437.4 million compared with the same period in 2021, primarily due to weakening traffic patterns for our retail partners, both in store and online, as well as pressure from further tightening of lease decisioning. E-commerce GMV within the segment increased 0.7% year-over-year, accounting for 16.5% of the segment's total GMV in the third quarter of 2022. The provision for lease merchandise write-offs was 7.2% of lease revenues in the third quarter of 2022, and while higher than the prior year's results, was down 261 basis points from our second quarter peak.
Liquidity and Capital Allocation
PROG Holdings ended the third quarter of 2022 with cash of $221.9 million and gross debt of $600 million. The Company repurchased $10.9 million of its stock in the quarter at an average price of $18.52 per share and has $373.5 million remaining under its previously-announced $1 billion share repurchase program.
2022 Outlook
PROG Holdings has lowered its full-year 2022 financial outlook as a result of the continued challenging operating environment. Since the Company’s second quarter earnings call, expectations around GMV have been adjusted as consumers deal with the impacts of inflation. The Company also saw weaker than expected customer payment behavior on leases originated prior to its Q2 2022 approval tightening efforts, which is reflected in the provision for accounts receivable.
The PROG Holdings revised fiscal year 2022 outlook is as follows:

Forward Looking Statements:
Statements in this news release regarding our business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "continue", “believe”, “outlook” and similar forward-looking terminology. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as (i) continued volatility and challenges in the macro environment and, in particular, the unfavorable effects on our business of the rapid increase in the rate of inflation currently being experienced in the economy, which has not been seen in more than forty years, and its impact on: (a) consumer confidence and customer demand for the merchandise that our POS partners sell; (b) our customers’ disposable income and their ability to make the lease and loan payments they owe the company; (c) the availability of consumer credit; (d) our labor costs; and (e) our overall financial performance and outlook; (ii) a further deterioration of the macro environment and/or additional macro-economic headwinds; (iii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new variants, subvariants or additional waves of COVID-19 infections, on: (a) demand for the lease-to-own products offered by our Progressive Leasing segment, (b) Progressive Leasing’s point-of-sale or “POS” partners, and Vive’s and Four’s merchant partners, (c) Progressive Leasing’s, Vive’s and Four’s customers, including their ability and willingness to satisfy their obligations under their lease agreements and loan agreements, (d) Progressive Leasing’s POS partners being able to obtain the merchandise their customers need or desire, (e) our employees and labor needs, including our ability to adequately staff our operations, (f) our financial and operational performance, and (g) our liquidity; (iv) changes in the enforcement of existing laws and regulations and the adoption of new laws and regulations that may unfavorably impact our businesses; (v) increased focus by federal and state regulators on businesses that serve subprime consumers, such as our Progressive Leasing, Vive Financial and Four Technologies businesses, and other types of legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations, including those related to consumer protection, customer privacy, third party and employee fraud and information security; (vi) a large percentage of the Company’s revenues being concentrated with several of Progressive Leasing’s key POS partners; (vii) the risks that Progressive Leasing will be unable to attract new POS partners or retain and grow its business with its existing POS partners; (viii) the risk that our capital allocation strategy, including our current share repurchase program, will not be effective at enhancing shareholder value; (ix) Vive’s business model differing significantly from Progressive Leasing’s, which creates specific and unique risks for the Vive business, including Vive’s reliance on two bank partners to issue its credit products and Vive’s exposure to the unique regulatory risks associated with the laws and regulations that apply to its business; (x) adverse consequences to Progressive Leasing, including additional monetary penalties and/or injunctive relief, if it fails to comply with the terms of its 2020 settlement with the FTC, as well as the possibility of other regulatory authorities and third parties bringing legal actions against Progressive Leasing based on the same allegations that led to the FTC settlement; (xi) increased competition from traditional and virtual lease-to-own competitors and also from competitors of our Vive segment; (xii) our increased level of indebtedness; (xiii) our ability to protect confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the personal and confidential information of our customers, which may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or “hacking”, or similar disruptions, any one of which could have a material adverse
impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects; (xiv) the effects of any increased expenses or unanticipated liabilities incurred as a result of, or due to activities related to, our acquisition of Four Technologies; (xv) Four Technology’s business model differing significantly from Progressive Leasing's and Vive’s, which creates specific and unique risks for the Four business, including Four’s exposure to the unique regulatory risks associated with the laws and regulations that apply to its business; and (xvi) the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022. Statements in this press release that are “forward-looking” include without limitation statements about (i) our ability to deliver value for our customers and retail partners, including through executing on key initiatives with those partners; (ii) our balance sheet, profitability and free cash flow generation; and (iii) our revised full-year 2022 outlook.

Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the full year 2022 outlook, exclude intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, impairment of goodwill, and accrued interest on an uncertain tax position related to Progressive Leasing's $175.0 million settlement with the FTC in 2020. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 exclude intangible amortization expense and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Four. The amount for the after-tax non-GAAP adjustment, which is tax effected using our statutory tax rate, can be found in the reconciliation of net earnings and earnings per share assuming dilution to non-GAAP net earnings and earnings per share assuming dilution table in this press release.
The Adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company’s earnings before interest expense, net, depreciation on property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the full year 2022 outlook exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 exclude stock-based compensation expense and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Four. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the three and nine month segment EBITDA tables in this press release.
Management believes that non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.
Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings, and adjusted EBITDA provide management and investors with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that generally arose from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations or transactions that have variability and volatility of the amount. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results with our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA also provides management and investors with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because the measures:
•Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors.
•Are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.
•Are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company’s GAAP basis net earnings and diluted earnings per share and the GAAP revenues and earnings before income taxes of the Company’s segments, which are also presented in the press release. Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.
