Item 1. Business

Company Overview

We are a technology driven lease-to-own ("LTO") platform that integrates with omnichannel retailers and

e-commerce platforms to power the purchasing of everyday durable goods for underserved U.S. non-prime customers. We were founded and incorporated in Delaware in 2012. We primarily operate within the virtual LTO market, which is estimated to have a total addressable market opportunity of $50 - $60 billion. Based on our 2023 gross originations, we believe that we currently capture less than 1% market share.

A lease-to-own transaction is a flexible alternative for customers to obtain and enjoy merchandise with no long-term obligation. Our LTO platform offers customers an alternative to traditional financing of automotive goods, computers, electronics, home furnishings and other durable goods. We provide underserved nonprime consumers access to the durable goods they need.

We believe we are creating a more inclusive economy by transforming the way non-prime customers can purchase durable goods. We have integrated our technology with a variety of leading U.S. durable goods merchants and we offer an innovative, mobile app that features Katapult Pay TM, our virtual card technology. By using our integrated LTO solution or Katapult Pay, customers who may be unable to access traditional financing can use our product to shop directly with more than 200 merchant partners. Customers can also choose to shop directly with a growing number of merchants in the Katapult marketplace within our mobile app.

Customers: By offering a best-in-class LTO solution, we have built a loyal and engaged non-prime customer base.

For customers, our process is built to be simple, fast, and transparent. We believe that seeing the good in people is good for business, humanizing the way underserved, non-prime customers are able to acquire the durable goods they need with payment solutions based on fairness and dignity. In line with this, our platform is based on a quick three-step application and a fully automated approval process that generates a decision in five seconds or less. We also offer flexible and transparent terms and we never charge our customers late fees. We believe we provide an affordable path to leasing or purchasing the durable goods that non-prime customers need at a total cost of ownership that is lower than competing lease-to-own products or other financing options that are available to them.

Below is an illustrative timeline depicting the total cost a customer would pay at certain points during the life of a typical lease-to-own transaction:

(1)The total cost a customer may pay in connection with our lease-purchase transaction depends on certain factors, including, but not limited to: (1) total cost limitations, which vary across states and generally range between 2.0 and 2.75 times, depending on the duration of the renewal periods, the cash price, referred to as the Lease Multiple, (2) the maximum length of the renewal periods (typically 10-18 months), (3) whether the early purchase option is exercised, and (4) whether the customer exercises their right to terminate the lease, without penalty if current, thereby ending additional renewal payment obligations. In general, during the first ninety (90) days, our customers have the ability to purchase the good for the cash price of the item plus 5% and any applicable fees (including initial fees, where applicable) and taxes. After ninety (90) days, but prior to reaching the maximum renewal term, the customer may exercise the purchase option at a discount on the remaining lease renewal payments (typically 55–65% of the remaining renewal payments).

Customers may renew through the maximum term at which point they will have paid approximately two times the cash price to own the item. Customers have the option to terminate the lease at any time with no penalty or further obligation (other than the lease cost already incurred). Upon termination, the customer must return the durable good that had been leased, which can be returned to us or the merchant if within the merchant's return period. Lease-purchase transactions, unlike credit or a loan, are not subject to variable interest rates and do not include finance charges.

Other customer benefits include:

Access to e-commerce retailers. We are a transaction option at checkout for well-known e-commerce merchants such as Casper, Lenovo, SimpleTire and Wayfair.

Clear path to ownership of durable goods. We empower customers with fair and transparent terms that offer a path to ownership for new and used durable goods with a leasable amount ranging up to $3,500.

Simple application process. Through an easy 3-step application process requiring basic information inputs and no hard credit check, customers receive approval in five seconds or less.

Flexible and convenient repayment options with no late fees. Ever. Payments can be automatically charged to the customer’s authorized credit card, checking account, debit card or the customer can make payments directly via our mobile app. Additionally, customers may make additional payments and exercise cost-saving early payment options.

No long-term commitment. Customers can elect to lease an item for the full term, pay off the lease early, or return the item at any time during the term of the lease. Customers may return the item under the terms of the lease agreement if they do not exercise a purchase option or renew the lease.

Easy-to-use mobile app. In 2022, we launched our mobile app that enables our customers to interact more easily with Katapult on their iOS or Android mobile devices. By using the app, customers can:

Make payments and track their account activity in real-time

Use our innovative app feature called Katapult Pay to shop and complete new lease transactions with a variety of merchants such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. Katapult Pay allows customers to use our powerful one-time use virtual credit card technology to facilitate payment to the merchant at check out.

We believe that the work we are doing to create a lease solution that meets the needs of our underserved customer base gives us a strong competitive position among customers across the U.S. Since inception through December 31, 2023, we have approved approximately 2.7 million customers. We had a net promoter score (NPS) of 52 as of December 31, 2023. NPS is a score that measures the likelihood of users to recommend a company’s products or services to others, and ranges from a low of negative 100 to high of positive 100, and benchmark scores can vary significantly by industry. A score greater than zero represents a company having more promoters than detractors.

Merchants: We provide merchants with a reliable LTO solution that can help them grow their businesses.

For merchants, our LTO solution provides access to a new customer base that historically has not qualified for traditional financing. By helping merchants reach this previously inaccessible customer, we believe we deliver incremental sales to merchants and lower their customer acquisition costs. Ultimately, we believe merchants that work with us and reach this underserved customer segment see higher retail conversion and greater marketing spend efficiency.

Key merchant benefits of working with Katapult include:

More customers. We help merchants acquire incremental customers from the non-prime segment who otherwise might not be shopping on their site.

Better conversion. Merchants have the potential to increase customer conversion when they offer our platform as it provides customers an alternative option.

High rate of repeat customers. Our easy-to-use platform has generated a loyal following of repeat customers (defined as customers who have originated more than one lease with Katapult over their lifetime). During the year ended December 31, 2023,54.2% of our gross originations were completed with repeat customers.

Marketing capabilities. We enable merchants to offer non-prime customers a lease-purchase option at the point of sale, which is coupled with Katapult tools and digital resources to attract, identify and educate customers on the Katapult option for paying over time.

Analytics. We provide merchants with insightful analytics that help them understand payment activities and risk performance associated with non-prime applications. The platform also offers other key insights into customers’ shopping habits to help merchants optimize customer conversion and customer acquisition costs.

Client success support. Our client success team partners with merchants to analyze and interpret the insights delivered through our LTO platform. Our team conducts in-depth user experience analyses of merchant online storefronts, providing custom recommendations for the ideal mix and display of our product offerings to present to customers in order to optimize average order values and conversion rates.

We typically work with merchants in three key ways. First, we have integrations with leading e-commerce platforms such as BigCommerce, Magento, Shopify and WooCommerce, among others, that allow us to easily and seamlessly integrate with merchants to offer the Katapult LTO as a payment option for customers at checkout.

Second, we have platform integrations with leading prime lenders that allow us to participate in prime lending waterfall partnerships. A waterfall is where the application will flow from the prime lender to other financing and lease-purchase options automatically; this gives customers the best option for their situations. Our prime lender integrations lead to higher approval rates for merchants who have included us as a payment option, helping ensure that customers have payment options at checkout and merchants make the most of every customer site visit. For both of these options, we offer off-the-shelf, integration options that are designed to provide seamless flexibility to merchants seeking efficient and effective rollouts of digital POS solutions.

Third, by leveraging our mobile app feature, Katapult Pay, we allow customers to shop with a growing number of merchants directly in the Katapult marketplace. This accelerated option allows merchants to benefit from our LTO solution with minimal technology lift and a lower initial investment, while giving Katapult more control to own the end-to-end customer experience and improving conversion and repeat purchase rates.

Our largest merchant partner is Wayfair, Inc. ("Wayfair"). We have an agreement with Wayfair Inc., dated November 24, 2020, (the "Wayfair Agreement") whereby we provide Wayfair customers with lease-purchase options for certain Wayfair products directly on Wayfair’s customer website. We originated approximately 52%and 57% of our gross originations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively through the Wayfair Agreement. The Wayfair Agreement continues for successive two-year terms and may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason provided that the terminating party provides written notice sixty days prior to the date of termination. The Wayfair Agreement does not prohibit Wayfair from offering lease-to-own options from our competitors. The Wayfair Agreement allows us to benefit from Wayfair’s broad range of product offerings and market ourselves to a larger audience of customers who may seek alternative payment options.

As of December 31, 2023, we have integrated our leasing solution with more than 200 merchants and we offer customers the ability to shop with more than 25 merchants through our Katapult marketplace powered by Katapult Pay. Our top ten merchants in the aggregate represented approximately 81% and 83% of our total gross originations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Technology: Our proprietary technology is a core pillar of our business.

Technology is at the core of everything we do - from simplifying the customer experience to driving repeat transactions to launching innovative new products that benefit our merchants and customers to managing risk. We utilize modern, cutting-edge technology including sophisticated behavioral machine learning models and cloud-based computing designed to offer a seamless digital customer experience on the front end as well as continually evolving real-time decision engine on the back end.

We were born and bred to be an e-commerce solution for customers and we believe we are the only non-prime customer lease-purchase platform focused on e-commerce. We offer a fully-digital, seamless and differentiated platform driven by proprietary technology and risk models that have been developed over several years. In 2022, we launched our mobile app featuring Katapult Pay. Our proprietary technology behind Katapult Pay gives us the unique ability to quickly and reliably differentiate between leasable and non-leasable items in a customer's cart without an integration with that merchant.

Developer-First Approach to Integration

Our platform can be easily and seamlessly integrated regardless of integration method:

Platform plug-in: Our platform plug-in is fast and easy to integrate with a number of e-commerce platforms, including Salesforce, Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, NopCommerce and WooCommerce. Integrations with these platforms allow merchants to offer the Katapult lease-to-own solution as an option at checkout, process our charges in their respective order management systems, and gain access to Katapult's platform-based analytics software while maintaining control over the customer experience.

Developer documentation. Our developer portal contains extensive developer documentation that makes it easy for developers to integrate via turnkey solutions, custom APIs, hosted programs, or other integrations.

Direct API: Our application programming interface ("API") enables merchants to fully control the placement and experience of our offering, which we believe aids the seamless integration of our lease-to-own option into the merchant’s existing infrastructure. Our direct API allows for fast integration with minimal investment; merchants can easily connect the platform to their existing online shopping cart. Moreover, we provide a dedicated integration team to ensure efficient rollouts.

Waterfall partnerships: A waterfall is where the application will flow from the prime lender to other financing and lease-purchase options automatically; this gives the customer the best option for their situation. Our technology supports sophisticated integration with these partners with the goal of ensuring a smooth and efficient customer transaction experience during application and checkout.

Our technology-driven underwriting and risk assessment models create a competitive advantage.

Technology, Engineering Talent and Product Architecture

Our proprietary risk models have been built on alternative data sets, including data from more than 1.3 million lease-to-own transactions and over ten plus years of repayments. Furthermore, the platform’s risk management models are built to utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning to incorporate additional data from new lease-purchase transactions.

Data Driven Performance

Our technology platform combined with data collection, accumulation and analysis provide us with meaningful insights that allow the business to perform better. Additional data from new transactions are continuously incorporated into our risk assessment models, algorithms and business practices, which allows us to improve our risk assessment model, algorithms and business practices over time. We believe this further mitigates repayment and fraud risk. Additionally, we leverage customer preference and activity data to identify opportunities for repeat business, new customer offerings and general performance enhancements.

We use proprietary approval and existing customer modeling to minimize fraud and drive high repayment performance, with the goal of protecting customers, merchants, and Katapult. The platform checks approximately 100 transaction attributes and up to 2,000 data points in aggregate across the fraud detection and risk models, from inputs customers provide and data acquired from other sources.

Proprietary Risk Assessment Models

Our proprietary, end-to-end technology platform has been designed and built to handle high volume and data from

e-commerce transactions. The system is non-FICO based, relying on internally developed scoring and analytics to identify appropriate customers for our LTO offering. Our behavioral learning-based risk models are designed to effectively price risk and provide customized recommendations. The platform considers data beyond traditional credit scores, such as lease history, behavioral biometrics and mobile device information to predict repayment ability, and leverages this with real-time response data.

Our Growth Strategies

We estimate that our addressable market opportunity within the vast virtual lease-to-own market is between $50 and $60 billion. Currently, we capture less than 1% of this market opportunity based on our 2023 gross originations and we believe there is substantial opportunity for growth.

Given our strong competitive positioning, we believe there are several levers we can pull to drive profitable growth. From a customer perspective, we believe we have opportunities to grow our loyal and engaged customer base and from a merchant perspective, we believe we offer a clear and compelling value proposition that will encourage more merchants to adopt our lease-to-own solution. Finally, we also believe that we can continue to leverage our technology and other data assets to create new products and services such as our recent launch of Katapult Pay that will appeal to both customers and merchants alike and create new avenues for business growth.

Our multi-pronged growth strategy is centered on the following near-term focus areas:

Grow Market Share with Merchants

Deepen relationships with existing merchants. Currently, our transactions represent a modest percentage of the average transaction volume for merchants that have directly integrated our LTO platform. We believe we can increase our gross originations volumes by partnering more closely with merchants that have already adopted our LTO solution. We intend to further leverage our dedicated sales and customer success teams to create unique products and marketing strategies that increase our market share with these merchants and drive gross originations volume higher.

Direct Integrations with new merchant partners. We have identified a significant amount of large retailers offering durable goods to U.S. customers that could benefit from access to our platform. We plan to pursue business relationships with these merchants, as well as identify and integrate our platform into new or emerging e-commerce systems and lending networks to attract additional merchants.

Leverage Katapult Pay to drive gross originations volumes higher and increase repeat purchase rates. Since its launch in late 2022, Katapult Pay has become an important feature in our mobile app. We intend to continue to leverage Katapult Pay to expand our marketplace of merchants and help transform our Katapult app into a shopping destination. We believe this will allow us to grow gross originations even if merchants are not able to immediately integrate our lease-to-own solution into their payment flows.

Grow Our Customer Base and Repeat Purchase Rate

Grow our customer base. While we have approved approximately 2.7 million customers for leases since our inception through December 31, 2023, we believe our addressable market opportunity is considerably larger. We currently acquire the majority of our new customers through merchants, where the Katapult lease-to-own product is a direct checkout payment option or it is presented as a lender waterfall option. We expect to continue to leverage our merchants as a core customer referral source, but we are also developing direct merchant co-marketing initiatives as well as standalone Katapult customer marketing strategies to attract and acquire new customers.

Drive repeat purchase rates. We aim to continue driving repeat use of our LTO solutions by treating customers with respect, identifying customer needs, focusing on customer satisfaction, and delivering data analytics to merchants to better understand and potentially optimize customer shopping behaviors. In addition to maintaining our high standards for customer satisfaction and brand affinity, we also intend to leverage Katapult Pay to drive repeat purchase rates.

Currently, we are using the Katapult app to market to existing customers and encourage them to enter into additional LTO agreements, driving sales volumes for merchants and gross origination volumes for Katapult. We believe it will be an important tool going forward to help us continue to drive high repeat purchase rates, which were approximately 59.9% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Over time, our goal is to also leverage the feature to create another low-cost customer acquisition channel, which will complement our merchant referral channel and help us grow our customer base.

Launch innovative solutions that meet the emerging needs of customers. We are focused on bringing new partnerships and innovative products to market that serve non-prime customers. In addition to our mobile app featuring Katapult Pay, we plan to continue product development with the goal of helping non-prime customers access the options they need and helping merchant partners increase conversion and repeat purchase rates.

Unlock the Power of Our Lean and Scalable Financial Model // Scale Our Revenue and Profitability

We have been successful in launching and marketing LTO solutions that address the needs of the non-prime customer primarily through e-commerce point-of-sale solutions. We believe this focus provides an advantage when compared with brick-and-mortar options for non-prime customers because our financial and operating models are efficient and scalable:

Over time as transaction volume grows, we are positioned to achieve operating leverage. Our model is primarily driven by a technology platform that does not require significant increases in operating overhead to support sales growth.

We have no inventory risk and offer a drop-ship option. We do not have the costs associated with buying, storing and shipping inventory. Instead, goods are shipped directly to customers.

Over time, we expect to remain focused on maintaining and creating operational efficiencies that will allow us to expand our margins as we achieve revenue growth.

Competition

We compete with national, regional and local operators of LTO stores, virtual LTO companies, traditional and e-commerce retailers (including many that offer layaway programs and/or installment payment options), traditional and online sellers of new and used merchandise, and various types of consumer finance companies that may enable consumers to shop at traditional or online retailers, as well as with rental stores that do not offer their consumers a purchase option.

Seasonality

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, our revenue is moderately seasonal and strongest during the first quarter. This is primarily due to historically higher gross originations during the fourth quarter holiday season. Our first quarter revenue is also impacted by the receipt of our customers in the first quarter of federal and state income tax refunds which historically has led to our customers more frequently exercising the early purchase option on their existing lease agreements or purchasing durable goods during the first quarter of the year. Adverse events that occur during these months could have a disproportionate effect on our financial results for the year.

Employees and Human Capital Resources

At Katapult, our people are our most valuable resource and critical to our success. We believe in an open and collaborative work environment which drives employee accountability and ownership in their performance and development. Our executive management team creates a culture and environment focused on high employee engagement and performance. The Compensation Committee of our board of directors is engaged in the oversight of our employees and compensation practices, and receives regular updates from management on progress and developments, and our executive management team and the Compensation Committee receive regular reports on progress against our people goals.

As of December 31, 2023, we had 90 employees located in the United States. We also engage a limited number of consultants and contractors to supplement our permanent workforce. We have never experienced any work stoppages and maintain good working relationships with our employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union at this time.

Our proprietary technology platform is essential to our core operations. In order to build these proprietary, innovative and secure products, we place a significant emphasis on identifying and employing talented and driven technology-focused professionals and engineers.

We offer competitive compensation and benefits to attract and retain top talent. Our total compensation packages generally include market-competitive salary, bonus, sales commissions and equity awards. As a remote-first company, we are able to attract highly skilled and experienced employees from a broad geographic landscape and offer market competitive compensation packages. At least annually, we review our compensation practices internally and with the assistance of a third-party compensation consultant.

Regulatory

Government Regulation

Our operations are governed by the requirements of numerous federal and state laws, and by the agencies that interpret and enforce those laws. This summary is not intended to be a complete summary of the laws referred to below or of all the laws regulating our operations.

There are currently 46 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have enacted lease-purchase statutes which set forth core requirements for our personal property lease-purchase transactions. These laws dictate our obligations with regard to consumer disclosures, pricing maximums, fees, and marketing, among other requirements. These laws may change, or the agencies charged with overseeing these laws may issue future guidance on the interpretation of these laws that is new, unforeseen, or otherwise conflicts with our current practices. Violations of these state lease-purchase laws can result in material penalties. We are unable to predict the nature or effect on our operations or earnings of unknown future legislation, regulations, agency interpretations and guidance, or judicial or administrative decisions concerning the laws governing our operations, and there can be no assurance that future laws, regulations, interpretations or decisions will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and earnings.

We are also required to be licensed in certain states in order to engage in lease-purchase transactions. While we hold required licenses, such licensing requirements could unexpectedly change which in turn could impact our results of operations, financial condition and earnings.

Regarding federal law, at the present time, no federal law specifically regulates the core lease-purchase transaction offered by us. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) does not regulate leases with terms of less than 90 days. Katapult’s lease-purchase transactions carry terms of, at most, month-to-month, and therefore are less than 90 days, such that the transactions do not fall within the transactions specifically covered by Dodd-Frank. These issues notwithstanding, various aspects of our business are governed by federal laws and regulations. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) oversees business practices that are unfair, deceptive or fraudulent to consumers, including within the lease-purchase industry. As such, we seek to ensure that we comply with FTC rules and regulations relating to our operations and we pursue compliance management practices to do so; however, any violation of such rules or regulations could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and earnings.

Also, state and federal regulatory authorities, including state attorneys general offices, state agencies such as the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the FTC, are increasingly focused on the consumer financial marketplace and personal property leasing generally. At any time, these agencies could initiate new investigations or otherwise take action that could result in significant adverse changes in the regulatory landscape for the lease-purchase industry in which we operate. We cannot predict whether any state attorneys general, state consumer protection agency, or federal regulatory agency will direct investigations or regulatory initiatives towards us or our industry in the future, or what the impact of any such future action(s) might be.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, transfer and otherwise process personal data, including sensitive personal data. Accordingly, we are, or may become, subject to numerous data privacy and security obligations, including federal, state, local, and foreign laws, regulations, rules, guidance and standards related to data privacy and security. Such obligations may include, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively “CCPA”).

The CCPA is an example of the increasingly stringent and evolving regulatory frameworks related to personal data processing that may increase our compliance obligations and exposure for any noncompliance. The CCPA imposes obligations on covered businesses to provide certain disclosures related to a business’s collection, use and disclosure of personal data and gives California residents the right to, among other things, request disclosure of personal data collected about them and whether that data has been sold to others, request deletion of personal data (subject to certain exceptions), opt out of the sale of their personal data and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. The CCPA provides for civil penalties and a private right of action for data breaches which may include an award of statutory damages. A number of other U.S. states also have enacted, or are considering enacting, comprehensive data privacy laws that share similarities with the CCPA. Certain state laws and regulations may be more stringent, broader in scope, or offer greater individual rights, with respect to personal information than federal or other state laws and regulations, and such laws and regulations may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts and increase compliance costs. There is also discussion in Congress of a new federal data privacy and security law to which we may become subject if it is enacted. In addition, laws in all 50 U.S. states generally require businesses to provide notice under certain circumstances to consumers whose personal data has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is difficult and may be costly. Furthermore, U.S. federal and state consumer protection laws require us to publish statements that accurately and fairly describe how we handle personal data and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal data.

As a Company, we seek to ensure that all employees act in a legal, ethical and dignified manner and carry out the Company’s business consistent with such standards and consistent with the laws discussed above. See the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about the laws and regulations to which we are, or may become subject and about the risks to our business associated with such laws and regulations.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand. However, these laws, agreements, and procedures provide only limited protection. As of December 31, 2023, we have one provisional patent application filed covering our Katapult Pay technology andthree registered trademarks and one trademark application in the United States.

Although we take steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or effective to prevent the unauthorized access, use, copying, reverse engineering, infringement, misappropriation or other violation of our intellectual property and proprietary technology and information, including by third parties who may use our intellectual property or proprietary technology or information to develop services that compete with ours.

See the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more comprehensive description of risks related to our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
