Pagaya Technologies LTD. (NASDAQ: PGY) ("Pagaya" or “the
Company”), a global technology company delivering AI-driven product
solutions for the financial ecosystem, today announced that the
Company is executing initiatives to drive enhanced profitability
and achieve its goal of reaching positive net cash flow, by further
streamlining its operations and accelerating its key growth
priorities.
The Company anticipates these initiatives, which include a
workforce reduction, will result in annualized gross cost savings
of approximately $25 million, a portion of which is expected to be
reinvested in key growth areas. As a result, Pagaya is raising its
full-year 2024 outlook range for Adjusted EBITDA to $160 million to
$200 million, an increase of $10 million from its previous outlook.
There is no change to the Company’s full-year 2024 outlook for
network volume and total revenue and other income.
“When I joined Pagaya, my first priority was to assess the
business to ensure that we were concentrating our product-first
strategy on our most productive and profitable initiatives,” said
Pagaya’s President, Sanjiv Das. “After an exhaustive bottom-up
analysis of our business, we have instilled operational discipline
that positions the Company for long-term, sustainable growth –
driving our core business strategy and supporting our already
impressive scale and margin profile.”
“We continue to execute on our financial strategy, delivering
strong unit economics, improved operating leverage, and efficient
use of our capital,” said Pagaya’s CFO, Evangelos Perros. “We are
raising our expectation for full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, with
the full impact of the cost savings expected to be realized in
2025.”
“We brought Sanjiv and Evangelos into their current leadership
positions at Pagaya because of their track record of driving
operational excellence, and we are confident that these most recent
initiatives will position Pagaya to continue to excel in our core
areas, while pursuing long-term growth,” said Pagaya’s CEO, Gal
Krubiner.
