Q1 2026 Revenue of $43.6 million and Net Income was $1.7 million
Sustains Consecutive Quarters of Adjusted EBITDA Profitability
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2026--
WM Technology, Inc. ("WM Technology" or the "Company") (OTC: MAPS), a leading marketplace and technology solutions provider to the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"We are encouraged by the recent rescheduling of medical cannabis, which represents a meaningful federal step forward for the industry and for the millions of patients who rely on medical cannabis," said Doug Francis, CEO and Chairman of WM Technology. "While the full impact of this change will take time to unfold, including how it may affect our business and the broader cannabis ecosystem and adult-use markets, we view any federal progress as constructive. We are pairing that long-term optimism with disciplined execution across the business by investing in product enhancements, sharpening our go-to-market efforts, and continuing to build a stronger marketplace for clients and consumers."
"Our first quarter results reflected steady execution, with revenue coming in ahead of our guidance range," said Susan Echard, CFO of WM Technology. "We remain focused on disciplined expense and working capital management, aligning our cost structure with the current operating environment, and maintaining the financial flexibility needed to support the business and invest selectively against our long-term priorities."
First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
-- Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $43.6 million
as compared to $44.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease was
primarily driven by continued softness across core markets, as
challenging operating conditions for cannabis operators weighed on
advertising spend.
-- Average monthly paying clients(1) of 4,983 decreased from 5,179
in the prior year period, largely due to churn in more established
markets, partially offset by new client acquisitions across
certain developing markets.
-- Average monthly revenues per paying client(2) increased to
$2,914 from $2,871 in the prior year period, primarily reflecting
a positive mix impact from churn among clients with below-average
spend levels.
-- Net income decreased to $1.7 million from $2.5 million in the prior
year period.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(3) decreased to $5.9 million from $10.1 million in the
prior year period.
-- Total shares outstanding across Class A and Class V Common Stock were
159.0 million as of March 31, 2026.
-- Cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities increased to $57.0
million as of March 31, 2026, as compared to $53.3 million as of March
31, 2025.

Business Outlook
Based on information available as of May 11, 2026, the Company expects second quarter 2026 revenue to decline by low-single digit percentages sequentially from the first quarter.
The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable as of the date of this release. This guidance assumes that no business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded in the period. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in "Forward-Looking Statements." Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. We undertake no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial performance for the second quarter of 2026 and the potential impact of federal rescheduling of cannabis. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of the Company's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those related market reactions or impacts resulting from the Company's delisting of its Class A Common Stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and deregistration of its Class A Common Stock and warrants under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the impact on the Company's liquidity and the price of its Class A common stock and warrants; the Company's ability to maintain its listing on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("OTC"); the possibility that trading in the Company's securities on the OTC markets may be significantly less liquid and/or have greater price volatility; the Company's financial and business performance, including key business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder; market opportunity and the Company's ability to acquire new clients and retain existing clients; expectations and timing related to commercial product launches; success of the Company's go-to-market strategy; the Company's ability to scale its business and expand its offerings; the Company's competitive advantages and growth strategies; the Company's future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; the impact of the material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls and ability to remediate these material weaknesses in the timing the Company anticipates, or at all; the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the effect of macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to inflation, tariffs, public health crises, uncertain credit and global financial markets, past and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures, current and potential future geopolitical events and military conflicts, and the occurrence of a catastrophic event, including but not limited to severe weather, war, or terrorist attack; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions affecting the cannabis industry; the development, effects and enforcement of and changes to laws and regulations, including with respect to the cannabis and hemp industries; the Company's ability to successfully capitalize on new and existing cannabis markets, including its ability to successfully monetize its solutions in those markets; the Company's ability to manage future growth; the Company's ability to effectively anticipate and address changes in the end-user market in the cannabis industry; the Company's
ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the Company's ability to maintain and grow its two-sided marketplace, including its ability to acquire and retain paying clients; the Company's ability to continue to collect on outstanding receivables; the Company's ability to realize the expected benefits of any strategic acquisitions; the effects of competition on the Company's future business; the Company's success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, officers, key employees or directors; cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive and those factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026. If any of these risks materialize or these assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company's assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our financial statements, including net income, are prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net income before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, legal settlements and other legal costs, loss contingency, one-time asset sales, reduction in force expense, change in the TRA liability and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA; and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider any of these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
-- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future,
and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure
requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure
requirements;
-- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs; and
-- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect tax payments that may
represent a reduction in cash available to us.
Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
