Costs and operating expenses consist of Production Costs, technology, data and product development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation, and outsourcing comprise a significant component of several of these expense categories. A portion of our non-share-based compensation expense and, to a lesser extent, certain operating expenses (excluding Production Costs) are denominated in the new Israeli shekel (“NIS”), which could result in variability in our operating expenses which are presented in U.S. Dollars.
Production Costs
Production Costs are primarily comprised of expenses incurred when Network Volume is transferred from Partners into Financing Vehicles, as our Partners are responsible for marketing and customer interaction and facilitating the flow of additional application flow. Accordingly, the amount and growth of our Production Costs are highly correlated to Network Volume. Additionally, but to a lesser extent, Production Costs also include expenses incurred to renovate single-family rental properties.
Technology, Data and Product Development
Technology, data and product development expenses primarily comprise costs associated with the maintenance and ongoing development of our network and AI technology, including personnel, allocated costs, and other development-related expenses. Technology, data and product development costs, net of amounts capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life in technology, data and product development costs. We have invested and believe continued investments in technology, data and product development are important to achieving our strategic objectives.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses, related to Partner onboarding, development, and relationship management, as well as capital markets investor engagement and marketing, are comprised primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, as well as the costs of certain professional services, and allocated overhead. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of our investments in our sales and marketing functions. These investments may vary in scope and scale over future periods depending on our pipeline of new Partners and strategic investors.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily comprise personnel-related costs for our executives, finance, legal and other administrative functions, insurance costs, professional fees for external legal, accounting and other professional services and allocated overhead costs. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.
Other Income (expense), net
Other Income (expense), net primarily consists of changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and other items, including credit-related impairment losses on investments in loans and securities.
Income Tax Expense
We account for taxes on income in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). We are eligible for certain tax benefits in Israel under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments or the Investment Law at a reduced tax rate of 12%. Accordingly, as we generate taxable income in Israel, our effective tax rate is expected to be lower than the standard corporate tax rate for Israeli companies, which is 23%. Our taxable income generated in the United States or derived from other sources in Israel which is not eligible for tax benefits will be subject to the regular corporate tax rate in their respective tax jurisdictions.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of operations is a result of our investments in certain of our consolidated variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’) and consists of the portion of the net income of these consolidated entities that is not attributable to us.
Total revenue and other income, increased by $45.5 million, or 21%, to $257.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $211.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from fees, partially offset by decreases in interest income and investment income.
Revenue from fees for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $47.8 million, or 24%, to $249.3 million, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $45.1 million increase in Network AI fees, comprised of AI integration fees and capital markets execution fees, from $184.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $229.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in Network AI fees was primarily driven by improved economics in AI integration fees earned from certain Partners, as well as the growth in Network Volume, which increased by 11.3% from $2.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $2.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in capital markets execution fees earned from our ABS transactions affected by tighter economic environment during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Contract fees, comprised of administration and management fees, performances fees, and servicing fees, increased by $2.7 million from $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting an increase in net asset values of the assets held by certain Financing Vehicles driven by continued business growth.
Interest income decreased by $1.6 million, or 16%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest income was directly related to our risk retention holdings and related securities held in our consolidated VIEs as well as certain risk retention holdings held directly by our consolidated subsidiaries. For further information, see “—Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of changes in structure and composition of asset portfolio, partially offset by higher interest income on our cash balances.
Investment income (loss) decreased by $0.7 million to a loss of $0.8 millionfor the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting an unfavorable impact from the change in valuation of certain proprietary investments.
Production costs increased by $20.2 million, or 16%, to $149.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $128.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was predominantly due to increases in Network Volume and to a lesser extent the composition of the asset classes that make up our Network Volume, as well as new Partners onboarded to our network.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized $5.7 million and $7.0 million of software development costs, respectively. Depreciation expense, including impairment charges, for capitalized software development costs was $6.6 million and $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $60.9 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a higher credit-related impairment loss of $40.6 million on certain investments, driven by changes in the fair value of investments in loans and securities as a result of fluctuations in key inputs to the discounted cash flow models used to determine fair value. We are not exposed economically to a portion of these fair value changes as certain investments are held within consolidated VIEs. For further information, see “—Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” Also contributing to the increase was higher interest expenses of $17.5 million due to higher interest rates and increased borrowings to support business growth.
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $10.4 million, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by discrete tax expenses related to a change in the reserve estimate for an uncertain tax position related to credit loss on investments in loans and securities during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $17.4 million compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was driven by the net loss generated by our consolidated VIEs associated with our risk retention holdings. This amount represented the net income (loss) of the consolidated VIEs to which we had no economic right and was the result of interest income of $1.2 million generated from risk retention holdings offset by the credit-related impairment loss of $7.9 million on the same risk retention holdings.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from fees, partially offset by decreases in interest income and investment income (loss).
Revenue from fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $166.5 million, or 30%, to $728.9 million, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $160.7 million increase in Network AI fees, comprised of AI integration fees and capital markets execution fees, from $505.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $666.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in Network AI fees was primarily driven by improved economics in AI integration fees earned from certain Partners, as well as the growth in Network Volume, which increased by 20% from $5.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $7.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Capital execution fees earned from our ABS transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2023.

Interest income decreased by $6.3 million, or 20%, to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest income was directly related to our risk retention holdings and related securities held in our consolidated VIEs as well as certain risk retention holdings held directly by our consolidated subsidiaries. For further information, see “—Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” The

To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the non-GAAP financial measures FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and to enhance the overall understanding of the results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with the performance of other companies.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
To address these limitations, we provide a reconciliation of FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with their respective related U.S. GAAP financial measures.
FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized below (in thousands):

FRLPC is defined as revenue from fees less production costs. We use FRLPC as part of overall assessment of performance, including the preparation of our annual budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to our shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, and non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to our shareholders excluding share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment, including credit-related charges, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses, non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions, interest expense, depreciation expense, and provision (and benefit from) for income taxes.
These items are excluded from our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA measures because they are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, is not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
We believe FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA in this report because these are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, this non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to FRLPC, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $181.0 million and $222.5 million, respectively. We believe these sources will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs for the next twelve months, from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and be sufficient to support our future cash needs, however, we can provide no assurance that our liquidity and capital resources will meet future funding requirements.
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital resources are to purchase and finance risk retention requirements, invest in technology, data and product development and to attract, recruit and retain a strong employee base, as well as to fund potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions, if any. We intend to continue to make strategic investments to support our business plans.
We do not have capital expenditure commitments as the vast majority of our capital expenditures relate to the capitalization of certain compensation and non-compensation expenditures used in the development and improvement of our proprietary technology.
There are numerous risks to the Company’s financial results, liquidity and capital raising, some of which may not be quantified in the Company’s current estimates. The principal factors that could impact liquidity and capital needs are a prolonged inability to adequately access funding in the capital markets or in bilateral agreements, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions such as rising interest rates and higher cost of capital, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and the continuing market adoption of the Company’s network.
We expect to fund our operations with existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, including cash flows from investments in loans and securities, and additional secured borrowings, including repurchase agreements. We may also raise additional capital, including through borrowings under the new credit facility that we entered into in February 2024 (see further
description of the new credit facility below in the section titled “Credit Agreement”) or through the sale or issuance of equity or debt securities, as described below in the sections titled “The Committed Equity Financing,” “Shelf Registration Statement” and “Ordinary Share Offering,” as well as the issuance of up to an additional 1,666,666 Series A Preferred Shares. The ownership interest of our shareholders will be, or could be, diluted as a result of sales or issuances of equity or debt securities, and the terms of any such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares. We intend to support our liquidity and capital position by pursuing diversified sources of financing, including debt financing, secured borrowings, or equity financing. The rates, terms, covenants and availability of such additional financing is not guaranteed and will be dependent on not only macro-economic factors, but also on Pagaya-specific factors such as the results of our operations and the returns generated by loans originated with the assistance of our AI Technology.
Additional debt financing, such as secured or unsecured borrowings, including repurchase agreements, credit facilities or corporate bonds, and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024.
In addition, we will receive the proceeds from any exercise of any public warrants and private placement warrants in cash. Each public warrant and each private placement warrant that was issued and exchanged for each EJFA Private Placement Warrant in the EJFA Merger entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $138 per share. The aggregate amount of proceeds could be up to $169.6 million if all such warrants are exercised for cash. We expect to use any such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase our liquidity.
As of November 11, 2024, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $16.89 per share. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their public warrants and private placement warrants that were issued and exchanged for EJFA Private Placement Warrants in the EJFA Merger, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of Class A Ordinary Shares. If the market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares is less than $138 per share, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise on a cash basis their public warrants and private placement warrants that were issued and exchanged for EJFA Private Placement Warrants in the EJFA Merger. To the extent the public warrants and private placement warrants are exercised by warrant holders, ownership interest of our shareholders will be diluted as a result of such issuances. Moreover, the resale of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such warrants, or the perception of such sales, may cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline and impact our ability to raise additional financing on favorable terms. See “Risk Factors—We have and may need to continue to raise additional funds in the future, including but not limited to, through equity, debt, secured borrowings, or convertible debt financings, to support business growth, and those funds may be unavailable on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result, we may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, which could limit our ability to grow and jeopardize our ability to continue our business” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024.
We may, in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing related to such acquisitions or investments. In the event that we pursue additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, as a result of any of these actions, we may be subject to restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing these transactions that may place limitations on us and we may be required to pledge collateral as security. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, operations and financial condition. It is also possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of the significant judgments or estimates could prove to be materially incorrect.
The Committed Equity Financing
On August 17, 2022, we entered into the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement and the Equity Financing Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement, we have the right to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II, up to $300 million of our Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement, from time to time during the 24-month term of the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement. Sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any
sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, 516,512shares were issued under the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement for net proceeds of $6.7 million, and related fee of $0.2 million was expensed. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 814,569 shares were issued under the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement for net proceeds of $11.9 million, and related fee of $0.4 million was expensed. On September 25, 2024, the Company terminated the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement.
Shelf Registration Statement
On October 4, 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Shelf Registration”) with the SEC that was declared effective on October 16, 2023. Under this Shelf Registration, we may, from time to time, offer and sell in one or more offerings Class A Ordinary Shares, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities, either individually or in combination with any of these securities, up to $500 million.
Ordinary Share Offering
On March 13, 2024, the Company priced an offering of 7,500,000 of its Class A Ordinary Shares, no par value, pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Jefferies LLC as representatives of the several underwriters. The proceeds from the offer and sale of the securities are approximately $90.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and fees and offering expenses payable by the Company.

Operating Activities
Our primary uses of cash in operating activities are for ordinary course of business, with the primary use related to employee and personnel-related expenses. As of September 30, 2024, we had 534 employees, including 146 full-time Darwin employees, compared to 712 on December 31, 2023. During the second quarter of 2024, we reduced our headcount by over 20% across our Israel and U.S. offices. This reduction in workforce enabled us to streamline our operations resulting in cost savings.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $34.5 million, an increase of $43.8 million from net cash used in operating activities of $9.4 million for the same period in 2023. This reflects our net loss including noncontrolling interests of $188.6 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $232.4 million, and net cash inflows of $9.4 million from changes in our operating assets net of operating liabilities.
Non-cash charges primarily consisted of (1) impairment losses on investments in loans and securities, which increased by $40.3 million driven by changes in the fair value of investments in loans and securities as a result of fluctuations in key inputs to the discounted cash flow models used to determine fair value (we are not exposed economically to a portion of these fair value changes as certain investments are held within consolidated VIEs), (2) share-based compensation, which decreased by $11.5 million, (3) depreciation and amortization, which increased by $7.3 million primarily from capitalized software, and (4) fair value
adjustment to warrant liability, which decreased by $4.1 million driven by changes in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Our net cash flows resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities increased by $13.0 million to net cash outflows of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash outflows of $22.4 million for the same period in 2023, reflecting cost saving initiatives.
Investing Activities
Our primary uses of cash in investing activities are the purchase of risk retention assets of sponsored securitization vehicles and investments in equity method and other investments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities of $462.7 million was primarily attributable to purchases of risk retention assets of $538.7 million, which increased by $102.5 million driven by business growth, partially offset by proceeds received from existing risk retention assets of $89.9 million, which decreased by $44.2 million.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities of $387.9 million was primarily attributable to $227.2 million of net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net of repayments, $90.0 million of net proceeds from the ordinary share offering, $137.0 million from secured borrowings executed to finance certain risk retention assets, net of repayments, and $11.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of our Class A Ordinary Shares under the Equity Financing Purchase Agreement. These net cash inflows were partially offset by $75.0 million of repayments of the SVB revolving credit facility.
Indebtedness
Exchangeable Senior Notes
On October 1, 2024, Pagaya US Holding Company LLC (“Pagaya US”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $160 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% exchangeable senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The issuance was in connection with a purchase agreement dated September 26, 2024, with certain initial purchasers. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes to repay higher-cost debt and reduce interest expense, with the remainder allocated for general corporate purposes.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2025, and mature on October 1, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or exchanged. The Notes are exchangeable for cash, Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, or a combination of both, at the Company’s discretion, subject to certain conditions.
The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Pagaya US and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with other senior, unsecured indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of Pagaya US’s subsidiaries.
Under specific conditions, noteholders have the option to exchange their Notes for Class A Ordinary Shares if certain market performance thresholds are met. These include, among others, the sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares exceeding 130% of the initial exchange price for a specified number of trading days.
Pagaya US may redeem the Notes in whole or in part on or after October 5, 2027, subject to specific trading price thresholds. Redemption of the Notes could trigger certain provisions that adjust the exchange rate in favor of the holders.
Credit Agreement
On February 2, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an initial principal amount of $25 million, which subsequently increased to $35 million, and a 5 year senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”) in an initial principal amount of $255 million. On November 5, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Term Loan Facility by $72 million, bringing the total principal amount
to $327 million. The additional funding under the Term Loan Facility is subject to the same terms and conditions as the original term loan.
The Facilities replace the SVB Revolving Credit Facility. In addition to replacing the SVB Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds of borrowings under the Facilities may be used for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company may voluntarily prepay borrowings under the Facilities at any time and from time to time subject to, in regards to voluntary prepayments and certain mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility, a 3.00% fee if paid prior to the first anniversary of the Term Loan Facility, 2.00% if paid after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary, 1.00% if after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary, and 0.50% if after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary. In each case, prepayments of the Facilities may be subject to the payment of “breakage” costs.
The Facilities contain certain customary mandatory prepayment events, including requirements to prepay the Term Loan Facility with excess cash flow and with the net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions and casualty events, subject to customary reinvestment rights and other exceptions.
No amortization payments are required to be made in respect of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization payments are required to be made in respect of the term loans under the Term Loan Facility in amount of 1.25% per quarter of the original principal amount of the term loans under the Term Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) a base rate (determined based on the prime rate and subject to a 2.00% floor) plus a margin of 6.50% or (ii) an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus a margin of 7.50%. A commitment fee accrues on any unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate per annum of 0.25% and is payable quarterly in arrears.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material, wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions.
The Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants, which include, among other things, limitations on the ability of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens, engage in certain fundamental changes, make certain dispositions and investments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and make restricted payments and other distributions. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants customary for a credit facility of this type, which include, among other things, a maximum first lien leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible book value ratio. The Credit Agreement also contains affirmative covenants customary for a credit facility of its type, including customary reporting covenants.
The Credit Agreement includes events of default related to, among other things, failure to pay amounts due under the Credit Agreement, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, defaults under other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, material judgment defaults and change of control, in each case, subject to customary cure periods where appropriate.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of $230.2 million, which is recorded within long-term debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the Company had letters of credit issued in the amount of $15.2 million, and $4.8 million of remaining capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
During the normal course of business, we enter into certain lease contracts with lease terms through 2032. As of September 30, 2024, the total remaining contractual obligations are approximately $43.2 million, of which $8.0 million is for the next 12 months. In 2023, we entered into a purchase commitment with our third-party cloud computing web services provider, which included an annual purchase commitment of $4.6 million for the period from October 2023 through September 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the total remaining contractual obligations are approximately $4.9 million, all of which is for the next 12 months. We may pay more than the minimum purchase commitment based on usage.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications or loss guarantees of varying scope and terms to customers and other third parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future
indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability and the Company did not incur material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications. For certain contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee or a derivative, the guarantor must recognize, at inception, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. In addition, the guarantor must disclose the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, if there were a default by the guaranteed parties. The determination of the maximum potential future payments is based on the notional amount of the guarantees without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. As of September 30, 2024, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees totaled $30.1 million. In accordance with the guarantee contracts, the maximum potential payment amount has been segregated and recognized within restricted cash in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
For a discussion of our long-term debt obligations and operating lease obligations as of September 30, 2024, see Note 4 and Note 7, respectively, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we engage in activities with unconsolidated VIEs, including our sponsored securitization vehicles, which we contractually administer. To comply with risk retention regulatory requirements, we retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the securities issued by sponsored securitization vehicles. From time to time, we may, but are not obligated to, purchase assets from the Financing Vehicles. Such purchases could expose us to loss. For additional information, refer to Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we have reassessed the critical accounting policies and estimates as described in Part II, Item 7, “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and determined that in addition to the updates below relating to fair value (previously identified as “Loans and investments in securities”), we no longer consider revenue recognition, consolidation and variable interest entities or recoverability of deferred tax assets to be critical accounting estimates as the application of the relevant US GAAP accounting policies does not involve significant levels of uncertainty.
We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to our financial results and the understanding of our past and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s estimates and assumptions. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) it requires us to make assumptions because the information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time we were making our estimate and (2) changes in the estimate could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. For further information, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024. It should be noted that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and estimates require regular review and adjustment.
Fair Value
Investments in loans and securities, which include whole loans and notes and residual interests in securitizations, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The estimate of fair value of these financial assets requires significant judgment. We use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of these financial assets based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The cash flow model uses both observable and unobservable inputs and reflects our best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value of the particular financial asset. Primary inputs that require significant judgment include discount rates, net credit loss expectations, and expected prepayment rates.
As it relates to net credit loss expectations, the most significant unobservable input, management considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, historical loss trends, origination or vintage analysis, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, recovery rates and current economic conditions. We also take into consideration certain qualitative factors, in which we adjust
our quantitative baseline using our best judgment to consider the inherent uncertainty regarding future economic conditions and consumer loan performance.
Additionally, we determine whether an impairment has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. We determine whether a credit loss exists by considering information about the collectability of the instrument, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. We recognize the credit loss portion through earnings in the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The underlying assumptions, estimates, and assessments we use to provide for fair value are assessed and updated quarterly, as necessary, to reflect our view of current conditions, which can result in changes to the fair value of investments in loans and securities. It is possible that we will experience material differences in the fair value of investments in loans and securities.
Prior to 2023, we wrote down the amortized cost basis of the investment if it was more likely than not we would be required, or we intended to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or we did not expect to collect cash flows sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the investment.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in market prices. Our market risk exposure primarily relates to fluctuations in credit risk. We are exposed to market risk directly through investments in loans and securities held on our consolidated balance sheets and access to the securitization markets.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of loss arising from individual borrower default due to inability or unwillingness to meet their financial obligations. The performance of certain financial instruments, including investments in loans, securitization notes and residual certificates on our consolidated balance sheets, is dependent on the credit performance. To manage this risk, we monitor borrower payment performance and utilize our proprietary, AI-powered technology to evaluate individual loans in a manner that we believe is reflective of the credit risk.
The fair values of these loans, securitization notes, and residual certificates are estimated based on a discounted cash flow model which involves the use of significant unobservable inputs and assumptions, the most significant of which is expected credit losses. Accordingly, these instruments are sensitive to changes in credit risk. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were exposed to credit risk on $923 million and $717 million, respectively, of investments in loans and securities held on our consolidated balance sheet, with $851 million and $618 million, respectively, representing net exposure exclusive of non-controlling interests. We implemented portfolio risk monitoring that includes internal monitoring as well as competitor / market assessments, macro-economic trends, and associated stress testing. Loans and related risk retention securities are monitored throughout the entire lifecycle. This risk monitoring framework is intended to deliver timely and actionable feedback credit risk exposures.
We are also exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the financial institutions holding our cash or providing access to our credit line. We maintain our cash deposits in highly-rated financial institutions. In the United States, the majority of our cash deposits are held at federally insured accounts. We manage this risk by maintaining our cash deposits at well-established, well-capitalized financial institutions and diversifying our counterparties.
Interest Rate Risk
The interest rates charged on the loans originated by Partners are subject to change by the platform sellers, originators, and/or servicers. Higher interest rates could negatively impact collections on the underlying loans, leading to increased delinquencies, defaults, and our borrower bankruptcies, all of which could have a substantial adverse effect on our business. This would also impact future loans and securitizations.
Additionally, we maintain certain financing sources with varying degrees of interest rate sensitivities, including floating-rate interest payments on Pagaya’s credit facilities. Accordingly, trends in the prevailing interest rate environment can influence interest expense/payments and harm the results of our operations. See Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.
We also rely on securitization transactions, with notes of those transactions typically bearing a fixed coupon. For future securitization issuances, higher interest rates could effect overall deal economics as well as the returns we would generate on our related risk retention investments.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency exchange rates do not pose a material market risk exposure. However, given the compensation and non-compensation expenses denominated in Israeli Shekel, our inability or failure to manage foreign exchange risk could harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Control
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but such improvements will be subject to the same inherent limitations outlined in this section.
PART II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Please refer to Note 8. “Commitments and Contingencies” of the accompanying notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any such other legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, future prospects, and the
trading price of our Class A Ordinary Share. The risks and uncertainties described therein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.
You should carefully read and consider such risks, together with all of the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the disclosures in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes), and in the other documents that we file with the SEC.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None

Item 5. Other Information
Credit Agreement Amendment
On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement, dated as of February 2, 2024 (as amended from time to time and by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Pagaya US Holding Company LLC, as a borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as administrative agent (“Acquiom”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, (x) the Company incurred incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $72 million (with the ability to incur additional incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $28 million on or before December 31, 2024), the proceeds of which will be used to prepay a portion of certain of the Company’s other secured financings and (y) to make certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
Employment Agreements with Executives
On the date hereof, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements with certain of its executives to reflect the Company’s updated terms of employment for its executive officers. The foregoing summary of the employment agreements with the Company’s executives does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the employment agreements, copies of which are filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.2 through 10.4 and are incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
Director and Officer Trading Plans or other Arrangements
Our directors and officers (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) may from time to time enter into plans or other arrangements for the purchase or sale of our shares that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5–1(c) or may represent a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement under the Exchange Act. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, three officers or directors entered into and one cancelled his 10b5-1 trading arrangements. First, on July 2, 2024, after terminating a legacy 10b5-1 plan on May 10, 2024, Tami Rosen, a director and the Company’s Chief Development Officer, entered into a new 10b5-1 Plan, with an end date of April 7, 2025, to sell a maximum aggregate of 62,465 shares.Second, on July 2, 2024, Avital Pardo, a director and Chief Technology Officer of the Company, entered into a 10b5-1 Plan, with an end date

Note that the maximum number of shares for these plans include shares that the directors will sell, at the time of vesting, to cover their tax liability. On September 20, 2024, Evangelos Perros, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, cancelled the 10b5-1 plan entered into on June 24, 2024.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized,
