"It was a strong finish to 2025, with continued growth in our embedded finance platform as we continued taking action and making investments to position the company for future growth," said Jess Unruh, Chief Financial Officer of Green Dot. "Our tax processing and embedded finance businesses are market leaders, and we are taking decisive action to ensure our Consumer and Employer services businesses thrive as we make progress toward completion of our proposed transactions with CommerceOne and Smith Ventures.”


Proposed Transactions with CommerceOne Financial Corporation and Smith Ventures, LLC


On November 24, 2025, Green Dot announced that it entered into agreements to be acquired by affiliates of Smith Ventures LLC (“Smith Ventures”) and CommerceOne Financial Corporation (“CommerceOne”). Upon closing of these proposed transactions, Smith Ventures will acquire and privatize Green Dot’s non-bank financial technology business assets and operations (the “FinTech business”), which will continue running as an independent and growth-focused fintech and embedded finance company. Additionally, upon closing of these proposed transactions, CommerceOne will acquire Green Dot Bank and its associated assets and operations, and the combined organization will serve as the FinTech business’s exclusive sponsor bank.


The closing of the transactions remains subject to the receipt of required shareholder and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The parties received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and have filed regulatory applications to all applicable U.S. federal and state bank authorities.


As a result of Green Dot’s proposed transactions with CommerceOne and Smith Ventures, Green Dot will not be hosting an earnings conference call nor providing 2026 financial guidance in conjunction with this earnings release. For further detail and discussion of Green Dot’s financial performance, please refer to the additional materials made available in the Investor Relations section of Green Dot's website at http://ir.greendot.com/ and when available, Green Dot’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Discussion of Segment Results


In 2025, Green Dot continued to invest in its technology platform, operating processes, and regulatory infrastructure, while also focusing on improving operating efficiency and balance sheet profitability. These investments over the last several years have supported its revenue growth and contributed to improved earnings generation within the FinTech business and Green Dot Bank. Green Dot also optimized the investment mix of assets on Green Dot Bank’s balance sheet, which had a meaningful impact on full-year results. Additionally, Green Dot launched new partnerships across its B2B Services, Money Movement Services and Consumer Services segments and continues to maintain a strong pipeline of prospective partners that present substantial growth opportunities. These partnerships generate fee-based transaction revenues and generate deposits that are invested in high-quality, interest-bearing assets. Green Dot believes there are more opportunities to continue improving its earnings profile and balance sheet as it enhances its investment mix and see continued growth in deposits from its embedded finance offerings, particularly in its B2B Services segment.


Green Dot believes its ongoing multi-year initiatives to enhance its operating and regulatory infrastructure, streamline its technology platform, and expand its partnerships and pipeline have resulted in greater efficiency and supported earnings stability throughout the organization, while also making Green Dot a more innovative, nimble platform and partner. These efforts have positively impacted both the FinTech business, which is pending acquisition and privatization by Smith Ventures, and Green Dot Bank, which is pending acquisition by CommerceOne, positioning both to be valuable and growth-enabled organizations for years to come.


B2B Services Segment


The B2B Services segment, which primarily consists of the Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”) channel powered by ARC and the rapid! employer solutions channel, generated revenue growth during 2025. Growth was driven primarily by a significant BaaS partner, along with increased activity from other partners within the BaaS portfolio. Key operating metrics within the BaaS channel, including active accounts and purchase volume, increased as new and existing partners launched products and expanded customer engagement. BaaS-related revenue and deposit growth contributed to earnings improvement within the FinTech business and supported deposit growth at Green Dot Bank. Green Dot believes its strong pipeline of launches and other opportunities will enable the BaaS channel to maintain its positive momentum and remain a source of strong revenue and deposit growth.


Within employer services (rapid!) channel, Green Dot continued to reposition the business during 2025, focusing on salesforce alignment, operating efficiencies, and Earned Wage Access (“EWA”) offerings. Purchase volumes increased for two consecutive quarters, contributing to higher profitability per active account during the fourth quarter and full year. A portion of cost savings was reinvested in EWA capabilities, sales support, and integrations with additional payroll platforms to pursue new market opportunities. We are optimistic about EWA’s potential given its expansive market demand and stronger profit margins.


Segment profit increased year over year, driven by higher demand and activity in the BaaS channel. BaaS margins declined slightly due to revenue mix, primarily from growth associated with a significant BaaS partner. Margins in the rapid! employer services business were flat compared to the prior year, reflecting cost-reduction initiatives implemented during the second half of 2025.


Money Movement Services Segment


The Money Movement Services segment, which includes tax processing and money processing businesses, experienced revenue growth during 2025, primarily driven by tax processing. The fourth quarter of 2025 included the launch of a significant new franchise partner within the tax processing business. Revenue growth reflected the addition of this partner and continued investment in technology and service capabilities.


During the fourth quarter, the tax processing team focused on partner onboarding and expanding the availability of products and services for the 2026 tax season, including taxpayer advance programs that experienced strong demand during 2025. Margins in the tax processing business were pressured in the fourth quarter due to launch-related costs associated with the new partner and expenses related to a taxpayer advance product introduced during the quarter.


Money Processing channel revenue was impacted by softness in Consumer Services segment active accounts. Third-party transactions declined in the low single digits during the fourth quarter. Excluding two partners that experienced declines in low-revenue transactions, third-party transactions increased in the low to mid-single digits during the fourth quarter, reflecting Green Dot’s ongoing success in signing up third-party partners that recognize the value in the breadth and convenience of its network. With Money Processing operations more closely integrated with the BaaS channel, Green Dot expects to maintain and continue building a healthy and active pipeline of potential partners. Combining this with recent launches of new cash transfer and digital disbursement partnerships, including Stripe, a solid schedule of launches in the coming months, and continued moderation in the rate of decline in the Consumer segment, Green Dot believes it is well positioned to re-accelerate momentum from previous quarters. Money Processing margins increased slightly year over year due to a favorable transaction mix.


Consumer Services Segment


The Consumer Services segment continued to face revenue pressure during 2025 from reduced marketing spend supporting the direct-to-consumer channel and ongoing headwinds in traditional retail distribution. The fourth quarter of 2025 was also impacted by the absence of breakage revenue recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the impact of that prior year revenue, Consumer Services revenue declined approximately 13% year over year.


Retail channel performance reflected continued consumer migration toward digital banking applications. Green Dot partially mitigated these impacts through expansion within Financial Service Centers (“FSCs”), which contributed to a reduced rate of decline in active accounts and revenue. FSC partners, unlike the traditional retail relationships, are focused on digital and embedded solutions aligned with Green Dot’s BaaS offerings, with the goal of driving deeper, more meaningful banking relationships with customers. Green Dot is preparing to introduce several new FSC partners in 2026, which are expected to help mitigate challenges faced by traditional retail channels. Additionally, there has been a noticeable increase in interest from traditional retail partners regarding digital and embedded solutions. This development is anticipated to enhance engagement and activity across the retail customer base.


Revenue declines in the direct-to-consumer channel were largely attributable to reduced marketing investment during the second half of 2024 and much of 2025, as Green Dot prioritized achieving acceptable returns on marketing investments and advancing its efforts to modernize the user experience and develop new feature functionality. As these initiatives have progressed, Green Dot increased marketing spend in the fourth quarter of 2025.


Segment margins and operating income declined year over year, reflecting lower revenue and higher expenses, primarily related to increased marketing spend in the direct channel. Despite declines in active accounts and revenue, metrics per active account improved, with continued growth in volume and revenue per active.


Corporate and Other Segment


Similar to last quarter, the Corporate and Other segment revenues, consisting primarily of interest income net of partner interest sharing, increased significantly year over year. Results benefitted from interest rate cuts during the second half of 2025, which improved the spread between yields earned on cash and investments and amounts shared with partners. Additionally, Green Dot repositioned a portion of its securities portfolio in 2025 and increased investment in high-grade floating-rate securities, contributing to improved yields at Green Dot Bank. Corporate and Other expenses increased year over year, primarily due to higher bonus accruals associated with improved earnings performance and the timing of investments in regulatory infrastructure.

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 its 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 or divestitures; 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 embedded finance products and services where Green Dot does not control customer acquisition; realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities; restructuring and other charges; 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 loss, and non-GAAP diluted earnings and loss 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 non-GAAP financial measures, investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of Green Dot's historic 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 businesses 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, transaction losses and fraud management, and customer support and related expenses. Green Dot’s operations are aggregated amongst three reportable segments: 1) Business to Business ("B2B") Services, 2) Consumer Services and 3) Money Movement Services.


The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of net interest income, certain other investment income earned by Green Dot's bank, interest profit sharing arrangements with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue), eliminations of inter-segment revenues and expenses, and unallocated corporate expenses, which include Green Dot's fixed expenses, such as salaries, wages and related benefits for its employees and certain third-party contractors, professional services fees, software licenses, telephone and communication costs, rent, utilities, and insurance that are not considered when Green Dot's CODM evaluates segment performance. Non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, impairment charges and other non-recurring expenses that are not considered by Green Dot's CODM when it is evaluating overall consolidated financial results are excluded from its unallocated corporate expenses.

To supplement Green Dot’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Green Dot uses measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude various, primarily non-cash, expenses and charges. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for operating revenues, operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate their measures in the same manner as Green Dot does. These financial measures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that Green Dot does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons Green Dot considers them appropriate.



 


Green Dot believes that the non-GAAP financial measures it presents are useful to investors in evaluating Green Dot’s operating performance for the following reasons:



 


  • adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as non-operating net interest income and expense, income tax benefit and expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, transaction costs, impairment charges, extraordinary severance expenses, restructuring and other charges, certain legal settlement and related expenses, earnings or losses from equity method investments, changes in the fair value of loans held for sale, realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, and other charges and income that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their respective financing structures and accounting policies, the book values of their assets, their capital structures and the methods by which their assets were acquired;





  • securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies; and





  • Green Dot records stock-based compensation from period to period, and recorded stock-based compensation expenses and related employer payroll taxes, net of forfeitures, of approximately $4.7 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. By comparing Green Dot’s adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in different historical periods, investors can evaluate Green Dot’s operating results without the additional variations caused by stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, which may not be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of Green Dot’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of the public markets and the financial performance of Green Dot’s peers) and is not a key measure of Green Dot’s operations.



 


Green Dot’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures:



 


  • as measures of operating performance, because they exclude the impact of items not directly resulting from Green Dot’s core operations;





  • for planning purposes, including the preparation of Green Dot’s annual operating budget;





  • to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Green Dot’s business;





  • to evaluate the effectiveness of Green Dot’s business strategies;





  • to establish metrics for variable compensation; and





  • in communications with Green Dot’s board of directors concerning Green Dot’s financial performance.



 


Green Dot understands that, although adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of Green Dot’s results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:



 


  • that these measures do not reflect Green Dot’s capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;





  • that these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Green Dot’s working capital needs;





  • that these measures do not reflect non-operating interest expense or interest income;





  • that these measures do not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;





  • that, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and





  • that other companies in Green Dot’s industry may calculate these measures differently than Green Dot does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.



 
(2)


Green Dot does not include any income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment to adjusted EBITDA, as the case may be, because each of these adjustments to the non-GAAP financial measure is provided before income tax expense.



 
(3)


This expense consists primarily of expenses for restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units) and related employer payroll taxes. Stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of Green Dot’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of Green Dot’s peers) and is not a key measure of Green Dot’s operations. Green Dot excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it consists of non-cash expenses that Green Dot does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Green Dot also believes that it is not useful to investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation to its results of operations. Further, the related employer payroll taxes are dependent upon volatility in Green Dot's stock price, as well as the timing and size of option exercises and vesting of restricted stock units, over which Green Dot has limited to no control. This expense is included as a component of compensation and benefits expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations.



 
(4)


Green Dot excludes certain expenses that are the result of acquisition or divestiture activities, including a sale in connection with its evaluation of strategic alternatives. These acquisition-related adjustments include items such as transaction costs, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, settlements of contingencies established at time of acquisition and other acquisition related charges, such as integration charges and professional and legal fees, which result in Green Dot recording expenses or fair value adjustments in its GAAP financial statements. Green Dot may also from time to time incur gains or losses from divestitures of a business or other sale activities, as well as professional and legal fees and other direct expenses associated with such transactions. Green Dot analyzes the performance of its operations without regard to these adjustments. In determining whether any acquisition-related adjustment is appropriate, Green Dot takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations. These items are included as a component of other general and administrative expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations, as applicable for the periods presented.



 
(5)


Green Dot excludes certain income and expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in Green Dot's GAAP financial statements, Green Dot excludes them in its non-GAAP financial measures because Green Dot believes these items may limit the comparability of ongoing operations with prior and future periods. These adjustments include items such as amortization attributable to deferred financing costs, impairment charges related to long-lived assets, earnings or losses from equity method investments, legal settlements and related expenses, changes in the fair value of loans held for sale, realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities and other income and expenses, as applicable for the periods presented. In determining whether any such adjustment is appropriate, Green Dot takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations. Each of these adjustments, except for amortization of deferred financing costs, earnings and losses from equity method investments, fair value changes on loans held for sale, and realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, which are all included below operating income, are included within other general and administrative expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations.



 
(6)


During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Green Dot recorded $1.4 million related to extraordinary severance expenses, which were paid out in connection with reductions in force and other extraordinary involuntary terminations of employment. Although severance expenses may arise throughout the fiscal year, Green Dot believes the nature of these extraordinary costs are not indicative of its core operating performance. This expense is included as a component of compensation and benefits expenses on Green Dot's consolidated statements of operations.



 
(7)


During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Green Dot recorded $2.2 million for restructuring and other charges related specifically to the closure of its China operations. The expenses primarily include employee severance expenses, and to a lesser extent, lease termination and related charges and other direct costs incurred as a result of its exit plan. Green Dot excludes restructuring and other charges primarily because these costs are not reflective of ongoing operating results, nor are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses.



 
(8)


Represents the tax effect for the related non-GAAP measure adjustments using Green Dot's year to date non-GAAP effective tax rate. It also excludes the impact of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, the IRC §162(m) limitation that applies to performance-based restricted stock units expense and valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025.



 
(9)


Represents commissions and certain processing-related costs associated with embedded finance products and services where Green Dot does not control customer acquisition. This adjustment is netted against revenues when evaluating segment performance.



 
(10)


Represents other non-interest investment income earned by Green Dot Bank. This amount is included along with operating interest income in Green Dot's Corporate and Other segment since the yield earned on these investments are generated on a recurring basis and earned similarly to its investment securities available-for-sale.
