Company provides 2023 financial outlook
Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PGY) (“Pagaya”, the “Company” or “we”), a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 20221.
“2022 was a record year for Pagaya,” said Gal Krubiner, Chief Executive Officer of Pagaya. “We reached over $7 billion in network volume and grew revenue by 58% to $749 million, approximately 7 times our revenue in 2020. We delivered near break-even adjusted EBITDA while operating in the most challenging credit and rate environment in our company’s history. We went public, strengthened our management team, onboarded large strategic partners, including Visa, Klarna and a top 3 auto lender and elevated our SFR offering with our first acquisition. As we continue the momentum into 2023, we will remain focused on driving further expansion and monetization of our network and achieving sustainable profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis.”
