Orion Digital reports in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Business Wire)

Orion Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: ORIO; TSX: ORIO) (“Orion Digital” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Orion Digital operates established businesses across Canadian wealth, European payments infrastructure and Canadian consumer finance. Intelligent Investing is the Company’s principal area of growth investment; Carta provides an established European payments platform from which to pursue self-funded commercial opportunities; and Mogo lending is managed to generate risk-adjusted returns and cash through disciplined capital deployment. Management allocates capital among these businesses based on expected returns, capital efficiency and liquidity requirements.

Q2 2026 marked an important milestone in Orion Digital’s evolution. The Company demonstrated improved earnings and cash generation at a lower level of Mogo lending deployment, commercially launched Intelligent Investing subsequent to quarter-end and continued executing across Carta Worldwide.

Total revenue was $16.9 million compared with $17.0 million in Q2 2025, as growth in Wealth partially offset lower Payments and interest revenue following the reduction in Mogo lending originations communicated last quarter. Wealth revenue increased 14% year-over-year, Wealth assets under management increased 18% to $545.3 million, and Wealth and Payments together represented 38% of total revenue compared with 36% in the prior-year quarter.

Gross profit increased to $12.6 million from $12.2 million, while gross margin expanded to 75% from 72%. The increase primarily reflected lower loan-loss provisions and transaction costs associated with reduced lending deployment, together with continued Wealth revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 115% sequentially and 70% year-over-year to $3.3 million, near the top of the Company’s previously announced guidance range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 19.5% from 9.1% in Q1 2026 and the Company generated operating income of $1.3 million.

Cash provided by operating activities¹ was $2.7 million during Q2 2026, compared with $0.9 million in Q2 2025. Core operating cash generation¹, a supplemental measure management uses to assess cash generated by Orion Digital’s operating businesses before capital deployment and corporate financing activities, was $5.1 million. Q2 2025 included a $3.0 million non-recurring cash receipt. Excluding that receipt, core operating cash generation increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 29%, year-over-year.

Although Q2 demonstrated the earnings and cash-generation capacity of the business at a lower level of lending deployment, management does not view the quarter as a normalized run rate. Second-half Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be lower than the first half as lending deployment gradually increases, associated loan-loss provisions increase, and the marketing investment expands following the commercial launch of Intelligent Investing.

Adjusted net income¹ was $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $0.4 million, or ($0.02) per share, in the prior-year quarter. Net loss was $0.7 million compared with net income of $13.5 million in Q2 2025. The prior-year result included a significant non-operating revaluation gain.

Management Commentary

David Feller, Founder and CEO

“Wealth assets under management reached $545 million and Wealth revenue increased 14%. Subsequent to quarter-end, we commercially launched Intelligent Investing, beginning the platform’s commercialization phase.”

“We believe increasingly abundant research and information are increasing the importance of disciplined investment decision-making. Intelligent Investing is organized around the investment decision and is designed to help members research, document, benchmark and review their investment decisions over time. Our focus now is to introduce the platform to a broader group of investors, evaluate customer engagement and retention, continuously improve the platform and build an effective customer-acquisition model before increasing investment.”

“Intelligent Investing is being commercialized from an established Canadian wealth business, providing the regulatory, operating and technology foundation for commercialization. We intend to allocate additional capital based on demonstrated customer use and long-term customer economics.”

Greg Feller, President and CFO

“Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled sequentially to $3.3 million, increasing 115% from Q1 and 70% year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 19.5%. The result was near the top of our guidance range and reflected lower lending deployment, reduced acquisition spending and provisions, continued Wealth growth and operating-cost management.”

“Cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million, while core operating cash generation was $5.1 million. Excluding the $3.0 million non-recurring receipt in the prior-year quarter, core operating cash generation increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 29%. While Q2 should not be viewed as a normalized run rate, it demonstrated our ability to generate meaningful earnings and operating cash while preserving financial flexibility.”

“Total revenue was $16.9 million compared with $17.0 million a year ago. We are prepared to accept near-term revenue pressure rather than deploy lending capital below our return, payback or liquidity thresholds.”

Wealth Platform — Intelligent Investing

Intelligent Investing is Orion Digital’s Canadian wealth business, designed to help investors improve the quality and consistency of their investment decisions through commission-free investing, independent AI-powered research and a structured capital-allocation system. The platform is organized around the investment decision and is designed to help investors document investment theses, benchmark performance, review outcomes and improve decision quality over time.

On July 27, 2026, subsequent to quarter-end, the Company commercially launched Intelligent Investing, beginning the Company’s commercialization phase.

During the remainder of 2026, the Company intends to introduce the platform to a broader group of investors, evaluate customer engagement and member retention, continuously improve the product and allocate additional capital based on demonstrated customer use and long-term customer economics.

Wealth is currently the Company’s principal area of growth investment.

Payments Platform — Carta Worldwide

Carta provides payments infrastructure supporting payment programs processing more than $11 billion of annual payment volume and reaching more than five million end users across Europe through its clients.

European transaction volume was $2.8 billion in Q2 2026, consistent with the prior-year period. For the first six months of 2026, European transaction volume was $5.5 billion, an increase of 6% year-over-year.

Payments revenue was $2.4 million, a decrease of 9% from Q2 2025, primarily reflecting lower non-recurring services revenue compared with the prior-year period.

Mogo Lending — Return-Based Capital Deployment

Mogo is Orion Digital’s established Canadian consumer finance business, with more than two decades of operating history and underwriting experience.

During Q2, the Company reduced originations as previously announced. The lower deployment level reduced customer-acquisition costs, incremental loan-loss provisions and associated funding requirements, contributing to the stronger earnings and cash-generation profile during the quarter.

The reduced deployment also provided management with additional portfolio-performance data and reinforced the Company’s focus on capital efficiency and expected returns rather than origination growth.

Gross loans receivable declined to $75.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $77.9 million at March 31, 2026. The related lending credit facility declined to $49.8 million from $51.4 million.

Net corporate capital used by the lending portfolio⁴ was $3.3 million during Q2, compared with $4.5 million in the prior-year quarter. This supplemental measure combines changes in loans receivable with net advances from, or repayments to, the credit facility that directly funds the lending portfolio.

The Company expects to increase originations gradually as credit performance, customer-acquisition costs and expected capital payback meet management’s return and liquidity thresholds. Future deployment will continue to be governed by expected lifetime returns, capital payback objectives, credit performance, acquisition costs and liquidity requirements rather than predetermined volume targets.

Cash Generation and Capital Allocation

Core operating cash generation is a supplemental measure used to assess cash generated by Orion Digital’s operating businesses before growth investment, lending deployment and corporate financing activities.

During the quarter, the Company invested $0.9 million in growth and platform development³ and deployed $3.3 million of net corporate capital used by the lending portfolio. After portfolio investments and monetizations⁵, corporate financing and shareholder capital allocation activates⁶ (including share repurchases), cash decreased by approximately $0.5 million to $23.3 million.

Core operating cash generation and the related capital-allocation measures are supplemental measures used by management to evaluate how cash is generated and deployed. Detailed definitions and reconciliations to the consolidated statement of cash flows are included in the Company’s MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Management evaluates material uses of capital based on expected returns, capital efficiency, payback, liquidity requirements, downside risk and long-term per-share value.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2026, Orion Digital held:

• cash of $23.3 million;
• restricted cash of $1.8 million;
• marketable securities of $4.2 million; and
• an investment portfolio of $5.6 million.

Cash and restricted cash totaled $25.1 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 24%, from $20.2 million at December 31, 2025. Total cash, restricted cash, marketable securities and investments were $34.8 million at June 30, 2026.

The Company’s reported debt includes both corporate obligations and the lending credit facility that directly finances its consumer loan portfolio. At June 30, 2026, the lending credit facility was $49.8 million compared with gross loans receivable of $75.4 million. Management evaluates portfolio funding separately from corporate obligations when assessing liquidity and leverage, while recognizing the facility’s credit-performance, covenant and liquidity risks.

The Company intends to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet corporate obligations and fund lending commitments while investing selectively in Intelligent Investing and Carta, gradually increasing Mogo lending deployment where expected returns meet established thresholds and pursuing share repurchases when management believes they represent an attractive use of capital.

During Q2, the Company repurchased 113,628 common shares at an average price of $1.32 per share. As of June 30, 2026, Orion Digital had repurchased a total of 1,829,537 common shares since June 2022.

2026 Outlook

The outlook that follows constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on assumptions and subject to risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including risk factors beyond Orion Digital’s control.

Management expects to continue executing its capital allocation framework throughout the remainder of 2026, balancing profitability, liquidity and long-term growth opportunities across its Lending, Wealth and Payments businesses.

Following the commercial launch of Intelligent Investing in July 2026, management's focus has shifted from product development to commercialization. During the remainder of 2026, the Company intends to introduce the platform to a broader group of investors, learn from how customers use it, continuously enhance the platform and allocate additional capital based on customer engagement, member retention and long-term customer economics. Management believes long-term success will be driven less by initial customer acquisition and more by building a platform that members actively use, continue to subscribe to and incorporate into their investing process over time.

We expect to continue investing selectively in Carta while expanding the platform's capabilities. Carta's existing infrastructure gives us a foundation to add capabilities over time, including in stablecoin-enabled payments, and we will invest in those opportunities where the expected returns meet our capital allocation criteria.

Following the deliberate reduction in Mogo’s lending deployment during the first half of 2026, management expects to gradually increase lending deployment while continuing to evaluate new originations against expected risk-adjusted returns, capital payback objectives, liquidity requirements and overall capital allocation priorities.

Consistent with the guidance outlined earlier this year, management currently expects Adjusted EBITDA⁷ during the second half of 2026 to be lower than the first half as we ramp up origination volume again and increase marketing investment following the commercial launch of Intelligent Investing. Management does not view the second quarter as establishing a new earnings run rate, but rather as demonstrating the underlying earnings and cash-generation capacity of the business under the Company's current capital allocation framework.

Based on the Company's stronger-than-expected operating performance during the first half of 2026, management believes Orion is well positioned relative to its previously communicated full-year Adjusted EBITDA⁷ guidance of $6.0 million to $7.0 million. While second-half Adjusted EBITDA⁷ is expected to moderate as the Company increases investment in future growth, management currently expects full-year Adjusted EBITDA⁷ to trend toward the upper end of, and potentially exceed, its previously communicated guidance range.

Management also continues to expect consolidated revenue for 2026 to be modestly lower than 2025.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non‑IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement the IFRS financial measures contained herein by providing further metrics to understand the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non‑IFRS financial measures, including adjusted revenue, adjusted subscription and services revenue, adjusted payments revenue, adjusted other subscription and services revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), core operating cash generation and cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We also use non‑IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. For more information, please see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended June 30, 2026, which is available at www.sedarplus.com and at www.sec.gov.
