See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements”.

Risk Factors Summary:

The following is a summary of the principal risks that could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

Worsening economic conditions may cause our members' loan default rates to increase and harm our operating results.

Approximately 31% of our assets as of December 31, 2024 consisted of loans to our members. Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in Canada and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets, historically have created a difficult environment for companies operating in our industries. Current global and macroeconomic conditions remain in a state of heightened volatility due to a number of factors, including geopolitical risks and tensions, changes in government administrations, regulations, legislation and policies, and trade relations and ongoing trade tensions, including the threat of tariffs, other governmental actions and retaliatory actions. In particular, recent threats of tariffs on Canadian imports into the U.S., and the potential associated retaliatory Canadian tariffs on U.S. imports into Canada, have created considerable uncertainty. These factors, which are beyond our control, may influence inflation, interest rates, unemployment levels, consumer confidence, economic growth in the geographies in which the Company operates and other general economic conditions. The Company continues to monitor global and macroeconomic developments and may take steps to mitigate potential risks. However, there can be no assurance that such developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, there can be no assurance that economic conditions will remain favorable for our business or that default rates on our loans by our members will remain at current levels. Increased default rates by our members on our loans may inhibit our access to capital and negatively impact our profitability. If delinquency or uncollectable rates on our consumer loans exceed certain levels defined in the Credit Facility it could constitute a default under the Credit Facility or other credit facilities, reducing or terminating such

facilities. Furthermore, we receive a number of applications from potential members who do not satisfy the requirements for our loans. If an insufficient number of qualified individuals apply for our loans, our growth and revenue could decline.

Our allowance for loan losses is determined based upon both objective and subjective factors and may not be adequate to absorb loan losses.

We face the risk that our members will fail to repay their loans in full. We reserve for such losses by establishing an allowance for loan losses, the increase of which results in a charge to our earnings as a provision for loan losses. We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. While this evaluation process uses historical and other objective information, the classification of loans and the forecasts and establishment of loan losses are also dependent on our subjective assessment based upon our experience and judgment. The accelerating development and adoption of artificial intelligence and automation technologies may disrupt traditional employment patterns and potentially increase unemployment rates in certain sectors where our borrowers are concentrated. These technological disruptions could alter historical default patterns and create new challenges in accurately forecasting loan losses, as these emerging trends may not be fully captured in our historical data or current risk models. Actual losses are difficult to forecast, especially if such losses stem from factors beyond our historical experience, and unlike traditional banks, we are not subject to periodic review by bank regulatory agencies of our allowance for loan losses. As a result, there can be no assurance that our allowance for loan losses will be comparable to that of traditional banks subject to regulatory oversight or sufficient to absorb losses or prevent a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on our proprietary credit scoring model in the forecasting of loss rates. If we are unable to effectively forecast loss rates, it may negatively impact our operating results.

In deciding whether to extend credit to prospective members, we rely heavily on our credit score generated by our proprietary credit scoring model and decisioning system, an empirically derived suite of statistical models built using third-party data, data from our members and our credit experience gained through monitoring the performance of our members over time. If our proprietary credit scoring model and decisioning system fails to adequately predict the creditworthiness of our members, or if our proprietary cash flow analytics system fails to assess prospective members' financial ability to repay their loans, or if any portion of the information pertaining to the prospective member is false, inaccurate or incomplete, and our systems did not detect such falsities, inaccuracies or incompleteness, or any or all of the other components of the credit decision process described herein fails, we may experience higher than forecasted losses. Furthermore, if we are unable to access the third-party data used in our credit scores, our access to such data is limited or such information is outdated or incorrect, our ability to accurately evaluate potential members will be compromised, and we may be unable to effectively predict probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which would negatively impact our results of operations.

Our risk management efforts may not be effective.

We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted if we are unable to effectively identify, manage, monitor and mitigate financial risks, such as credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other market-related risk, as well as operational risks related to our business, assets and liabilities. To the extent our models used to assess the creditworthiness of potential members do not adequately identify potential risks, the credit scores we produce would not adequately represent the risk profile of such members and could result in higher risk than anticipated. Our risk management policies, procedures, and techniques, including our use of our proprietary credit scoring technology, may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks we are exposed to, mitigate the risks that we have identified or identify concentrations of risk or additional risks to which we may become subject in the future.

We have a history of losses and may not achieve consistent profitability in the future. In addition, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

Although we had shareholders equity of approximately $81 million as of December 31, 2024, we also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $346 million. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in future periods to become profitable, and, even if we do so, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We intend to continue to expend significant funds to expand our marketing and sales operations, continue developing our products including further development of our platforms, increase our service and general product servicing capabilities, compensate our growing employee base, and expand into new markets. In addition, our provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, is based on our expectation of future loan losses related to our loans receivable. As we continue to grow our members and loans receivable, we expect the aggregate amount of this expense will also continue to grow.

Our historical growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. Our organizational structure is becoming more complex as we add additional staff, and we will need to improve our operational, financial, management and compliance controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this 20-F, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our publicly listed securities may significantly decrease.

Further, the circumstances that accelerated the growth of our business in recent years, including an extended period of general macroeconomic growth in Canada and the U.S., as well as growth in the financial services and technology industries in which we operate, have slowed in recent years and may not return in the future. Our membership grew from 2.1 million members as at December 31, 2023 to 2.2 million members as at December 31, 2024. We may experience declines in the growth of our business (or negative growth) as a result of a number of factors, including slowing demand for our products, insufficient growth in the number of customers that utilize our products, declines in the level of usage of our products by existing members, macroeconomic factors, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall market or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities, including as a result of our inability to scale to meet such growth and economic conditions that could reduce financial activity and the maturation of our business, among others. If our growth rate declines, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

Carta's business is reliant on contracts with key customers operating in the payment industry.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our relationships with these clients or that these client relationships will result in increasing revenue. Given the B2B nature of Carta's operations, the number of clients that are potential users of the Carta platform is concentrated. Our largest clients may not be easily replaced and the loss of any one or more of such clients may have a material adverse impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. In addition, if we are unable to add new clients, we may not realize anticipated levels of growth in the future. While we expect this concentration of revenue to decrease over time, we may continue to depend upon a relatively small number of clients for a significant portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. The loss of a significant client or failure to attract new clients could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital is not available to us, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.

Since our founding, we have raised substantial equity and debt financing to support the growth of our business. Because we intend to continue to make investments to support the growth of our business, we may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, including increasing our marketing expenditures to improve our brand awareness, developing new products or services or further improving existing products and services, enhancing our operating infrastructure and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, our agreements with our lenders contain restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, and any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve further restrictive covenants which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Volatility in the credit markets may also have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain debt financing.

If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Common Shares. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

If new products and platform enhancements do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our financial results and competitive position will be harmed.

We incur expenses and expend resources upfront to develop, acquire and market new products and platform enhancements to incorporate additional features, improve functionality or otherwise make our platform more desirable to our members. New product or platform enhancements must achieve high levels of market acceptance in order for us to recoup our investment in developing and bringing them to market.

Our products, and changes to our platforms could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including, without limitation, the following:

If our new products or platform enhancements do not achieve adequate acceptance in the market or if management decides not to proceed with the launch of new products or platform enhancements if it does not expect to achieve adequate acceptance in the market, our competitive position, revenue and operating results could be harmed. The adverse effect on our financial results may be particularly acute because of the significant development, marketing, sales and other expenses we will have incurred in connection with new products or enhancements.

We may not realize the expected benefits from acquisitions due to challenges associated with integrating the operations, technologies, and personnel of Mogo and the acquired companies.

Acquisitions, strategic investments, or partnerships could divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The anticipated benefits of any acquisition, strategic investment, or partnership may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

We may seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our products and services or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential investments or acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures.

We may be required to issue equity or increase debt to acquire businesses which could dilute our shareholders or adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer. Further, we may invest in companies that do not succeed, and our investments may lose all or some of their value, which result in us recording impairment charges reflected in of results of operations.

Our business is subject to extensive and evolving regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, all of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation.

Our business is subject to numerous federal, provincial and other local laws, ordinances and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which are subject to change and which may impose significant costs or limitations on the way we conduct or expand our business. As we develop and introduce new products and services, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations.

Future legislation or regulations may restrict our ability to continue our current methods of operation or expand our operations and may have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of our Common Shares. In addition, future legislation or regulations, or amendments to the existing regulatory regime, could require us to modify our platforms and processes, which may cause us to incur additional costs and lead to a reduction in revenue.

For example, our lending business activities are subject to section 347 of the Criminal Code, which prohibits the receipt of interest at a “criminal rate” (as defined therein). Following consultations on predatory lending conducted by the Department of Finance in August 2022, in 2023, the Canadian federal government introduced the Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No 1, to reduce the criminal rate of interest from 60% to 35%, and to replace an effective annual rate of interest calculation with an annual percentage rate of interest calculation. On January 1, 2025, these amendments came into force. However, the new criminal rate of interest does not apply in respect of any receipt of a payment or partial payment of interest that is interest at a criminal rate, if the payment arises from an agreement or arrangement to receive interest that was entered into before January 1, 2025 and the interest that arises from that agreement or arrangement would not have been at a criminal rate on the date it was entered into. In addition, the federal government has

indicated it may further reduce the criminal rate of interest below 35% APR and a consultation on the further lowering of the criminal rate of interest closed on January 7, 2024. The Company continues to monitor developments in this area to ensure compliance with section 347 of the Criminal Code.

In addition to the criminal interest rate restrictions, certain of our MogoMoney products may be subject to new legislation and regulations respecting 'high-cost credit products' which have been implemented in certain provinces in which we operate. Provincial high-cost credit ("HCC") legislation has been implemented in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. HCC legislation, which is part of the broader provincial consumer protection regime in these provinces, imposes additional requirements, including licensing and disclosures, on lenders making loans above certain interest rate thresholds. We are currently licensed as an HCC lender in both provinces and comply with all regulatory requirements. We also continue to participate in the regulatory process, monitor the HCC landscape that continues to develop in other provinces. The Company will continue to ensure that its business complies with any HCC regulatory changes and is well positioned to respond to any enhanced disclosure requirements.

While we endeavor to operate our business model in compliance with the applicable provincial and federal laws, with respect to certain of our business models, the application of certain law may be subject to evolving interpretation and requirements. As such, there is a risk that regulatory bodies or consumers could assert that certain federal or provincial laws are applicable where we have determined that they are not, or that such laws apply to aspects of our business in a manner that we have not addressed. If it is determined that we have not complied with the requirements of applicable laws, we could be subject to civil actions for nullification of contracts, rebate of some or all payments made by members, and damages, or subject to sanctions, penalties, or other enforcement for violation of the laws, any of which outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Further, the laws and regulations applicable to cryptocurrency are evolving and subject to interpretation and change. Mogo has an approximate 13% stake in WonderFi, Canada's leading operator of regulated crypto trading platforms and other digital asset businesses. The value of Mogo's investment in WonderFi may be adversely impacted if WonderFi is unable to comply with regulations or prohibitions applicable to them, faces regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences.

As a registrant and member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, MogoTrade is subject to extensive regulation in Canada.

MogoTrade is registered as an investment dealer in each of the provinces and territories in Canada, and it is also a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization ("CIRO"). Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to MogoTrade involves a number of risks, particularly in areas where applicable regulations may be subject to interpretation. In the event of non-compliance with an applicable regulation, securities regulators or CIRO may institute administrative or judicial proceedings that may result in censure, fine, civil penalties, issuance of cease-and-desist orders, deregistration or suspension of the non-compliant investment dealer or investment adviser, suspension or disqualification of the investment dealer's officers or employees, or other adverse consequences. The imposition of any such penalties or orders on MogoTrade regardless of duration or any subsequent appellate results could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If we do not maintain the capital levels required by CIRO, our business may be restricted and we may be subject to disciplinary or corrective actions.

CIRO has stringent rules regarding the maintenance of specific capital levels by investment dealers. CIRO sets minimum capital requirements that require firms to have enough capital for the type and scope of their business activities. This reduces the possibility of firm failure by preventing excessive leverage and risky business practices. CIRO monitors our financial condition, may conduct surprise on-site audits, and requires comprehensive financial reporting. We must have our financial statements audited annually by independent CIRO-approved accounting firms.

Failure to maintain the required capital levels could result in immediate business restrictions, suspension or expulsion by CIRO, limitations on our ability to expand our existing business or commence new businesses, and could ultimately lead to the termination of our investment dealer registration. If capital requirements are changed or expanded, if there is an unusually large charge against our capital, or if we make changes in our business operations that increase our capital requirements, operations that require intensive use of capital could be limited. A large operating loss or charge against capital could have adverse effects on our ability to maintain or expand our business.

Additionally, if we breach early warning thresholds established by CIRO, we may become subject to the Early Warning System, which imposes various business restrictions including potential requirements to deposit additional capital, restrictions on business expansion, and increased regulatory oversight. These restrictions could significantly impact our operations and profitability.

As a registered Portfolio Manager, Investment Fund Manager and Exempt Market Dealer, Mogo Asset Management Inc. is also subject to extensive regulation in Canada.

Moka relies on Mogo Asset Management Inc. (“MAMI”) to provide investment management services to its clients. MAMI is registered as a Portfolio Manager, Investment Fund Manager, and Exempt Market Dealer. These registrations subject MAMI to extensive regulatory requirements under applicable securities laws and regulations, as well as oversight by provincial and territorial securities regulators and the federal anti-money laundering regulator. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks presents numerous risks, particularly given the complexity and evolving nature of securities regulations and the interpretive discretion exercised by regulatory authorities.

Failure to maintain full compliance or disagreements regarding regulatory interpretation could result in administrative or judicial proceedings initiated by securities regulators. Such proceedings may lead to sanctions including, but not limited to, censure, monetary fines, civil penalties, suspension or revocation of registrations, restrictions or prohibitions on business activities, suspension or disqualification of MAMI's officers, directors, or employees, or other regulatory actions. The imposition of any such penalties, sanctions, or orders - regardless of their duration or the outcomes of any subsequent appeals - could significantly impair MAMI's (and therefore Moka’s) operations, financial performance, and reputation, and consequently, may have a material adverse effect on our overall business and financial condition.

Our operation of a platform for independent portfolio managers exposes us to potential liability for advisor misconduct, compliance failures, and evolving regulatory expectations for investment management platforms.

Through our Tactex division, which is a division of MAMI, we provide regulatory, technological, and operational infrastructure for independent portfolio managers. While these advisors operate their businesses independently, our role creates significant regulatory obligations and potential liability exposure. Canadian regulators may hold us accountable for inadequate supervision of advisors using our platform, even when those advisors exercise independent judgment. We may be subject to regulatory scrutiny regarding our due diligence processes for onboarding advisors, our ongoing monitoring of advisor activities, and our handling of potential compliance violations.

If portfolio managers using our platform engage in misconduct, provide unsuitable investment advice, misappropriate client funds, or violate securities regulations, we could face regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, financial penalties, and reputational damage, even if we were not directly involved in the misconduct. Additionally, clients who suffer investment losses may pursue claims against both the individual advisor and our company as the platform provider and registrant. The costs of defending such claims could be substantial, regardless of the ultimate outcome.

Maintaining the necessary registrations requires significant compliance resources and continuous adaptation to evolving regulatory expectations. Securities regulators are increasingly focused on digital platforms that facilitate investment management services, with evolving guidance on issues such as fee transparency, conflict-of-interest management, and know-your-client obligations. Any failure to meet these regulatory expectations could result in conditions being placed on our registrations, suspension or revocation of our registrations, or enforcement actions that could materially impact our ability to operate the Tactex business.

Furthermore, changes to capital requirements, insurance obligations, or proficiency standards for registered firms could increase our operational costs or require significant changes to our business model. If we are unable to effectively manage these regulatory risks or if the cost of compliance becomes prohibitive, we may need to modify or discontinue certain services offered through our Tactex platform, potentially affecting our growth strategy and financial performance in this business segment.

Our business may be adversely affected by material changes to the interest rate charged to our members and paid to our lenders.

We earn a substantial portion of our revenues from interest payments on the loans we make to our members. Various financial institutions and other funding sources provide, and may in the future provide, us with the capital to fund these term loans and lines of credit and charge us interest on funds that we draw down. In the event that the spread between the rate at which we lend to our members and the rate at which we borrow from our lenders decreases, our financial results and operating performance will be harmed.

There are a variety of factors that could affect the interest rates we charge to our members and which we pay to our lenders, such as access to capital based on our business performance, the volume of loans we make to our members, competition with other lenders, regulatory requirements. These interest rates may also be affected by variations to the types of products we sell to our members and investors over time and a shift among our channels of member acquisition. Interest rate changes may adversely affect our business forecasts and expectations and are highly sensitive to many macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as inflation, recession, the state of the credit markets, changes in market interest rates, global economic disruptions, unemployment and the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies.

Any material reduction in our interest rate spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our debt financing sources are highly concentrated, and we may not be able to access additional sources of funding on reasonable terms or at all.

We have obtained debt financing from a limited number of lenders. Our reliance on the Credit Facility for a significant amount of our funding exposes us to funding concentration risks. If the lender decides to terminate the Credit Facility, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected. In addition, the Credit Facility must be renewed on a periodic basis. If we were unable to renew the Credit Facility on acceptable terms when it became due there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Our agreements with our lenders contain a number of early payment triggers and covenants. A breach of such triggers or covenants or other terms of such agreements could result in an early amortization, default, or acceleration of the maturity date which could materially impact our operations.

Primary funding sources available to support the maintenance and growth of our business include, among others, the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains restrictions on the Company's ability to, among other things, pay dividends, sell or transfer assets, incur additional debt, repay other debt, make certain investments or acquisitions, repurchase or redeem shares, and engage in alternate business activities. The Credit Facility also contains a number of covenants that require the Company to maintain certain specified financial ratios. Description of these covenants, requirements and events are set out in the Credit Facility agreement.

During the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, for example, principal collections from our consumer loans would be applied to repay principal under the Credit Facility rather than being available on a revolving basis to fund newly originated loans. During the occurrence of an event of default under any of our debt, including debt owing under the Credit Facility, debt owing to the holders of debentures issued by the Company or debt owing to future facilities we may enter into, the applicable lender could accelerate the repayment of our debt and the lender's commitments to extend further credit would terminate. If we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our debt when due, the applicable lender could seek remedies, including against the collateral pledged as security for such debt.

An event of default or other event requiring early repayment of the Credit Facility would negatively impact our liquidity, including our ability to originate new loans, and require us to rely on alternative funding sources, which might increase our funding costs or which might not be available when needed. If we were unable to arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we might have to curtail the origination of loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations under our facility.

Our levels of indebtedness can have negative implications for our shareholders.

We have, and anticipate having, a significant amount of indebtedness, which totaled approximately $49 million on our Credit Facility and $35 million in outstanding debentures as of December 31, 2024. Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our funding debt will depend on our future operating performance and our ability to enter into additional debt and equity financings, which to a certain extent, is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If, in the future, we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability

to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance and any additional equity financing would result in the dilution of shareholders.

Our substantial indebtedness could have significant consequences to shareholders, such as the inability to satisfy our obligations under the Credit Facility and increased vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions. We may find it more difficult to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes or other purposes and we would have to allocate a substantial portion of our cash resources to the payment on our indebtedness, which would reduce the funds available for operations and for distribution to shareholders.

Our investment in WonderFi may expose us to certain risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations, including the effects of negative publicity resulting from fraudulent actors in the cryptocurrency space.

Mogo is an approximate 13% shareholder in WonderFi, Canada's leading operator of regulated crypto trading platforms and other digital asset businesses. In 2022, a number of digital asset exchanges filed for bankruptcy proceedings and/or became the subjects of investigation by various governmental agencies for, among other things, fraud, causing a loss of confidence and an increase in negative publicity for the digital asset ecosystem. As a result, many digital asset markets have experienced increased price volatility. The cryptocurrency ecosystem may continue to be negatively impacted and experience long term volatility if public confidence decreases.

The failure of several crypto platforms has impacted and may continue to impact the broader crypto economy; the full extent of these impacts may not yet be known. WonderFi is part of the cryptocurrency environment and is subject to volatility resulting from financial instability, poor business practices, and fraudulent activities of players in the cryptocurrency market. When investors in cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-based companies experience financial difficulty as a result of price volatility, poor business practices, and/or fraud, it has, and may cause loss of confidence in the cryptocurrency space, reputational harm to cryptocurrency assets, heightened scrutiny by regulatory authorities and law makers, among other material impacts.

These events are continuing to develop and it is not possible to predict, at this time, every risk that they may pose to us, our service providers, or the digital asset industry as a whole. A perceived lack of stability in the digital asset exchange market and the closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset exchanges due to business failure, hackers or malware, government-mandated regulation, or fraud, may reduce confidence in digital asset networks and result in greater volatility in cryptocurrency values. These potential consequences of a digital asset exchange's failure could adversely affect our investment in WonderFi, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We and our partners obtain, store and process a large amount of sensitive data. Any real or perceived improper or unauthorized use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We and our third-party partners and service providers, including third-party data centers that we use, obtain and process large amounts of sensitive data, including our members' personal and credit information and other sensitive data relating to our members and their transactions. We face risks, including to our reputation as a trusted brand, in the handling and protection of this data, and these risks will increase as our business continues to expand to include new products and technologies.

We have administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and we have policies and procedures in place to contractually require third parties to whom we transfer data to implement and maintain appropriate security measures. However, if our security measures or those of the previously mentioned third parties are inadequate or are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, malware, phishing, hacking attacks, system error, trickery, or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to funds, or sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, on our systems or our partners' systems, or if we suffer a ransomware or advanced persistent threat attack, or if any of the foregoing is reported or perceived to have occurred, our reputation and business could be damaged. Any perceived or actual breach of security, regardless of how it occurs or the extent of the breach, could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing members, prevent us from obtaining new members, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and to implement measures to prevent further breaches, cease operations, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability including those resulting from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and costs associated with remediation, such as fraud monitoring. Any actual or perceived security breach at a company providing services to us or our customers could have similar effects.

The collection, processing, storage, use, and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.

We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other sensitive data from members. There are federal, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and sensitive data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted. Any violations of these laws and regulations may require us to change our business practices or operational structure, address legal claims and sustain monetary penalties or other harms to our business.

While we have policies and procedures in place to protect personally identifiable information and other sensitive data of our members that comply with applicable laws, the regulatory framework for privacy issues in Canada and Europe is constantly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. The interpretation and application of such laws is often uncertain, and such laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent with our current policies and practices or require changes to the features of our platforms. If either we or our third-party service providers are unable to address any privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations, it could result in additional costs and liability, damage our reputation and harm our business.

Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

Cybersecurity incidents and other issues related to our information systems, technology and data may materially and adversely affect us. Cybersecurity incidents and cyberattacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. The digital finance industry is a particular target for cybersecurity incidents, which may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by individuals or groups having authorized or unauthorized access to our systems or our members' or counterparties' information, which may include confidential information. These individuals or groups include employees, vendors and customers, as well as hackers. The information and technology systems used by us and our third-party partners and service providers are vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other things: hacking, ransomware, malware and other computer viruses; denial of service attacks; network failures; computer and telecommunication failures; phishing attacks; infiltration

by unauthorized persons; security breaches; usage errors by their respective professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.

We may experience cybersecurity incidents in the future. While we take efforts to protect our systems and data, including establishing internal processes and implementing technological measures designed to provide multiple layers of security, and contract with third-party partners and service providers to take similar steps, there can be no assurance that our safety and security measures (and those of our third-party partners and service providers) will prevent damage to, or interruption or breach of, our information systems, data (including personal data) and operations. We may be required to expend significant resources to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

Nevertheless, it is possible we could suffer an impact or disruption that could materially and adversely affect us. Our operational infrastructure may be breached due to the actions of outside parties, error or malfeasance of our employees, or otherwise, and, as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our members' personally identifiable information and other sensitive data. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce our employees to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our infrastructure. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, or may be designed to remain dormant until a predetermined event, and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.

Controls employed by our information technology department and our third-party partners and service providers, including cloud vendors, could prove inadequate. If an actual or perceived breach of any of our information systems occurs, the market perception of our effectiveness could be harmed. Moreover, there could be public announcements regarding any cybersecurity-related incidents and any steps we take to respond to or remediate such incidents, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these announcements to be negative, it could, among other things, have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Shares.

As we rely on our third-party partners and service providers for our operations, the risk of cybersecurity attacks and loss, corruption, or unauthorized access to or publication of our information or the confidential information and personal data of members and employees may be more acute. Third-party risks may include insufficient security measures, data location uncertainty, and the possibility of data storage in inappropriate jurisdictions where laws, security measures or other controls may be inadequate or in which there are uncertainties regarding governmental intervention and use of such data, and our ability to monitor our third-party partners' and service providers' data security practices are limited. Although we generally have agreements relating to cybersecurity and data privacy in place with our third-party service providers, they are limited in nature and we cannot guarantee that such agreements will prevent the accidental or unauthorized access to or disclosure, loss, destruction, disablement or encryption of, use or misuse of or modification of data (including personal data) or enable us to obtain adequate or any reimbursement from our third-party partners or service providers in the event we should suffer any such incidents. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for any information security failure or cybersecurity attack attributed to our third-party partners and service providers as they relate to the information we share with them. A vulnerability in or related to a third-party partner or service provider's software or systems, a failure of our third-party partners' or service providers' safeguards, policies or procedures, or a breach of a third-party partner or service provider's software or systems could result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our systems or the data housed in our third-party platforms.

The security of the information and technology systems used by us and our service providers may continue to be subjected to cybersecurity threats that could result in material failures or disruptions in our business. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, we or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in operations and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to shareholders (and the beneficial owners of shareholders). Such a failure could harm our reputation, subject to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect our investment and trading strategies and our value.

It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

The success of our platforms depend, in part, upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, suppliers and other third parties to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We currently do not have any issued patents.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.

Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our brand and adversely affect our business.

We may face claims by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights, which could harm our business.

Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights. Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although we have developed most of our platforms, we do include third-party software in our platforms. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding the intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that is integrated into our platforms, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms. In addition, such litigation could be disruptive to our ability to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities and may result in significantly increased costs as a result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the intellectual property rights or rework our platforms to ensure they comply with judicial decisions. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Any of the foregoing could have a significant adverse effect on our business and operating results as well as our ability to generate future revenue.

Some aspects of our platforms include open-source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.

We incorporate open-source software into our proprietary platforms and into other processes supporting our business. Such open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open-source licenses have not been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of the platforms and negatively affects our business operations. Some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open-source software we use. If portions of our proprietary platforms are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our platforms or change our business activities. In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. Many of the risks associated with the use of open-source software cannot be eliminated, and could adversely affect our business.

If our software contains serious errors or defects, we may lose revenue and market acceptance.

Software developed for our proprietary platforms often contains errors, defects, security vulnerabilities or software bugs that are difficult to detect and correct, particularly when first introduced. Despite internal testing, our platforms may contain serious errors or defects, security vulnerabilities or software bugs that we may be unable to successfully correct in a timely manner or at all, which could result in lost revenue, significant expenditures of capital and damage to our reputation and brand, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Since the software we use is a critical component to our proprietary platforms, errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, service interruptions or software bugs in our platforms could result in inappropriate loan decisioning and corresponding credit scores or interest rates or outages that could affect our ability to process some customers' MogoTrade and Moka transactions.

Operating risk and insurance coverage.

The Company has insurance to protect its assets, operations and employees. While the Company believes its insurance coverage addresses all material risks to which it is exposed and is adequate and customary in its current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company's liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our success and future growth depend in part on our successful marketing efforts and increased brand awareness. Failure to effectively use our brand to convert sales may negatively affect our growth and our financial performance.

We believe that an important component of our growth will be continued market penetration through our digital marketing channel and leveraging our marketing collaboration agreement with Postmedia. To achieve this growth, we anticipate relying heavily on marketing and advertising to increase the visibility of the Mogo brand with potential members. The goal of this marketing and advertising is to increase the strength, recognition and trust in the Mogo and Moka brands, and drive more unique visitors to open accounts and access our products. We incurred of $4.1 million of marketing expenses in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our business model relies on our ability to scale rapidly and to decrease incremental member acquisition costs as we grow. If we are unable to recover our marketing costs through increases in website traffic and in our conversion rates, or if we discontinue our broad marketing campaigns, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth, results of operations and financial condition.

Member complaints or negative publicity could result in a decline in our member growth and our business could suffer.

Our reputation is very important to attracting new members to Mogo as well as securing repeat lending to existing members. While we believe that we have a good reputation and that we provide our members with a superior experience, there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain a good relationship with our members or avoid negative publicity. Any damage to our reputation, whether arising from our conduct of business, negative publicity, regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions, matters affecting our financial reporting or compliance with securities regulatory authorities and TSX and Nasdaq requirements, security breaches or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Any misconduct or errors by our employees and third-party service providers could harm our business and reputation.

We are exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees and third-party service providers. Our business depends on our employees and third-party service providers to process a large number of increasingly complex transactions, including transactions that involve significant dollar amounts and loan transactions that involve the use and disclosure of personal and business information. We could be materially adversely affected if transactions are redirected, misappropriated or otherwise improperly executed, if personal and business information is disclosed to unintended recipients or if an operational breakdown or failure in the processing of other transactions occurs, whether as a result of human error, a purposeful sabotage or by means of a fraudulent manipulation of our operations or systems. In addition, the manner in which we store and use certain personal information and interact with members is governed by various federal and provincial laws. If any of our employees or third-party service providers take, convert or misuse funds, documents or data or fail to follow our protocol when interacting with members, we could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. As a result, we could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal misappropriation of funds, documents or data, or failed to have followed protocol, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees or third-party service providers, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent such activities may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to our members, inability to attract future members, reputational damage, regulatory intervention and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends on our ability to collect payments and service the products we make available to our members.

We rely on banks and services providers to facilitate funds transfers within our customer accounts, including among other things, the disbursement of proceeds of newly originated loans to our members and the collection of payments from members. As we are not a bank, we do not have the ability to directly access the electronic funds transfer payment network, and must therefore rely on a service provider to process our transactions. If we cannot continue to obtain such services from our current institution, service provider or elsewhere, or if we cannot transition to another processor quickly, our ability to process transactions will suffer.

We rely on third-party partners, service providers and systems to deliver our products and services and perform key functions. Any disruption of service by such third parties could interrupt or delay our ability to deliver our products and service to our members.

We rely on third-party partners, service providers and systems, including internet service providers, payment services providers, market and third-party data providers, regulatory services providers, clearing systems, market makers, exchange systems, banking systems, payment gateways that link us to the payment card and bank clearing networks to process transactions, co-location facilities, communications facilities, cloud-based and traditional data center facilities, and other third-party facilities, to deliver our products and services, run our platform, facilitate trades by our customers, and support or carry out some regulatory obligations, including with respect to the provision of our products and services, account verification, credit decisioning and transaction processing. In addition, external content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports, and other fundamental data that we provide to our customers.

The continuous availability of our service depends on the continued operations of these third-party partners, service providers and facilities. These providers are susceptible to processing, operational, technological and security vulnerabilities, including security breaches, which might impact our business, and our ability to monitor our third-party service providers' data security is limited. We depend on the ability of our third-party partners and service providers to protect their operations and facilities against damage or interruption from security breaches, natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts and similar events. Any failures by our third-party service providers that result in an interruption in service, unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction of data or other similar occurrences could interrupt our business, cause us to incur losses, result in decreased customer satisfaction and increase customer attrition, subject us to customer complaints, significant fines, litigation, disputes, claims, regulatory investigations or other inquiries and harm our reputation. Regulators might also hold us responsible for the failures of our providers.

In addition, these third-party service providers might rely on subcontractors to provide services to us that face similar risks. We face a risk that our third-party service providers might be unable or unwilling to continue to provide these services to meet our current needs in an efficient, cost-effective manner or to expand their services to meet our needs in the future.

We designed our system infrastructure and procure and own or lease the computer hardware used for our services. Design and mechanical errors, failure to follow operations protocols and procedures could cause our systems to fail, resulting in interruptions in our platforms. Any such interruptions or delays, whether as a result of third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with members and cause our revenue to decrease or our expenses to increase. Also, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately

compensate us for any losses that we may incur. These factors in turn could further reduce our revenue and subject us to liability, which could materially adversely affect our business.

Our reliance on third-party platforms for distribution of our mobile applications exposes us to policy changes, fee increases, and potential service disruptions beyond our control.

We rely significantly on third-party platforms, particularly Apple's App Store and Google Play, to distribute our mobile applications to customers. These platform providers have broad discretion to change their terms of service and other policies, including fee structures, payment processing systems, and content or technical requirements. Such changes could increase our operating costs, reduce our profit margins, or affect our ability to deliver services to customers. These platforms may also limit our access to customer data, impose authentication requirements that impair user experience, or restrict our ability to communicate with customers. Additionally, if our applications are found to violate platform policies, they could be removed from these stores, significantly impairing our ability to acquire and service customers. We have limited ability to negotiate terms with these platform providers or to rapidly migrate our customer base to alternative distribution channels if necessary. Any prolonged disruption in the availability of our applications on these platforms could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We face increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

We compete with other companies that provide financial services to individuals. These traditional financial institutions include banks, credit unions, credit card issuers and other consumer finance companies. In addition, other technology companies may begin to focus, or may in the future focus, their efforts on targeting millennials.

In some cases, some competitors may offer a broader range of financial products to our members, and some competitors may offer a specialized set of specific products or services. Many of these competitors have significantly more resources and greater brand recognition than we do and may be able to attract customers more effectively than we do.

When new competitors seek to enter one of our markets, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market share, they sometimes undercut the pricing or credit terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share or ability to exploit new market opportunities. Our pricing and credit terms could deteriorate if we act to meet these competitive challenges. All of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future growth.

If the information provided by members to us is incorrect or fraudulent, we may misjudge a member's qualification to receive a loan and our operating results may be harmed.

Our lending decisions are based partly on information provided to us by loan applicants. To the extent that these applicants provide information to us in a manner that we are unable to verify, our credit model may not accurately reflect the associated risk. In addition, data provided by third-party sources is a significant component of our credit model, and this data may contain inaccuracies. Inaccurate analysis of credit data that could result from false loan application information could harm our reputation, business and operating results.

We also use identity and fraud check analyzing data provided by external databases to authenticate each member's identity. There is a risk, however, that these checks could fail, and fraud may occur. We may not be able to recoup funds underlying loans made in connection with inaccurate statements, omissions of fact or fraud, in which case our revenue, operating results and profitability will be harmed. Fraudulent activity

or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negatively impact our operating results, brand and reputation and require us to take steps to reduce fraud risk, which could increase our costs.

We rely on our management team and need additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key employees or inability to hire key personnel could harm our business.

We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our executives and employees, including David Feller, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and Gregory Feller, our President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and strategy, and despite maintaining a comprehensive succession plan, we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees.

Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.

Competition for highly skilled engineering and data analytics personnel is extremely intense, and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in many areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, specifically in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. Any significant volatility in the price of our Common Shares may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical, financial and marketing personnel.

In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our members could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.

If we cannot maintain our corporate culture, we could lose valuable qualities from our workforce.

We believe that our corporate culture is a critical component of our success, which we believe fosters innovation, encourages teamwork and cultivates creativity. As we evolve, we may find it difficult to maintain these valuable aspects of our corporate culture. Failure to preserve our corporate culture could negatively impact our future success, including our ability to attract and retain employees, encourage innovation and teamwork and effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

Litigation may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our business is subject to the risk of litigation by employees, members, consumers, suppliers, competitors, shareholders, government agencies, or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits, regulatory actions and intellectual property claims, is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to these lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition,

certain of these lawsuits, if decided adversely to us or settled by us, may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend future litigation may be significant. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect consumer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actively managing our investment portfolio.

In managing our investment portfolio, we may from time to time take a position as an activist investor and advocate for changes to corporate governance practices, such as management and board composition, executive compensation practices, social issues and other corporate actions. If a proxy contest results from our actions as an activist investor or otherwise, our business could be adversely affected because engaging in proxy contests and other investor activist actions can be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of management. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to the future of the strategic direction of any of our investments may result in a loss to the value of such investments, which could negatively impact our financial condition.

United States investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against the Company.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the BCBCA, that the majority of the Company's officers and directors are residents of Canada, and that all, or a substantial portion of their assets and a portion of the Company's assets, are located outside the United States. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on certain of its directors and officers or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against the Company or certain of the Company's directors and officers based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

If we become a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes, certain adverse tax rules may apply to U.S. Holders of our Common Shares.

Based on the market price of our Common Shares and the composition of our income and assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year, and the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects. Moreover, the value of our assets for the purposes of the PFIC determination will generally be determined by reference to the market price of our Common Shares, which could fluctuate significantly. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we are not a PFIC for the current taxable year or will not be classified as a PFIC in the future.

We will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year for United States federal income tax purposes if either (i) 75% or more of our gross income in that taxable year is passive income or (ii) the average percentage of our assets by value in that taxable year which produce or are held for the production of passive income (which includes cash) is at least 50%.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or another entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust that (A) is subject to the supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more

"United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or (B) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "U.S. Holder") holds Common Shares, such U.S. Holders could be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. For example, U.S. Holders may become subject to increased tax liabilities under United States federal income tax laws and regulations and will become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. If we are a PFIC during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, such U.S. Holder may be able to make a "mark-to-market" election or a "qualified electing fund" election that could mitigate the adverse United States federal income tax consequences that would otherwise apply to such U.S. Holder. Although upon request of a U.S. Holder, we will provide the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make the qualified election, no assurance can be given that such information will be available for any lower-tier PFIC that we do not control.

Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could have, a broad impact across industries and the economy, including impacts on our operations and our employees, partners and members. At the onset of an epidemic, pandemic or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus, governments and regulatory bodies in affected areas may impose a number of measures designed to contain the outbreak, including business closures, social distancing protocols, travel restrictions, quarantines, curfews and restrictions on gatherings and events. Future disruptions arising from a new pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, as well as required disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to produce timely and accurate consolidated financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules of the SEC require, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop could become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. If these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports or the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business might be harmed if we experience problems with any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any postimplementation issues that might arise. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our business or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and could result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to design, develop or maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in implementing, improving or remediation lapses in internal controls may affect our ability to prevent fraud, detect material misstatements, and fulfill our reporting obligations. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting could harm our business, cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our reported financial and other information, and result in us becoming subject to investigations by the stock exchanges on which our

securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, any of which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we might not be able to remain listed on the Nasdaq.

Cost-cutting may adversely affect our business.

In response to challenging macroeconomic conditions, we have taken aggressive cost-cutting steps to accelerate the path to profitability and make us a more efficient company. There can be no guarantee that these cost-cutting measures will be successful. We face a risk that our cost-cutting measures negatively impact. Cost-cutting steps, if managed incorrectly, may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects or our ability to expand our business.

Our insurance coverage might be inadequate or expensive.

While we may have insurance to protect our assets, operations, and employees, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which we are exposed. No assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities or that it will be available in the future or at all, and that it will be commercially justifiable. We may be subject to liability for risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for our normal business activities. Payment of liabilities for which we do not carry insurance may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations.

Our flexible remote working model subjects us to heightened operational risks.

We have a flexible remote work policy, under which a large segment of our employees are not required to come into the office on a daily basis. Allowing our employees to work remotely subjects us to heightened operational risks. There is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter risks associated with employees accessing company data and systems remotely. We also face challenges due to the need to operate with a dispersed and remote workforce, as well as increased costs related to business continuity initiatives. Our flexible remote working model may make it more difficult for us to preserve our corporate culture of innovation and our employees might have decreased opportunities to collaborate in meaningful ways. Further, we cannot guarantee that having a large portion of our workforce continuing to work remotely will not have a negative impact on employee morale or productivity. Any failure to overcome the challenges presented by our flexible remote work policy could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel, innovate and operate effectively, maintain product development velocity, and execute on our business strategy.

Our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies may subject us to operational, regulatory, and reputational risks that could adversely affect our business.

We increasingly rely on artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning technologies in various aspects of our business, including credit decisioning, fraud detection, customer service, and product recommendations. The use of these technologies presents several risks that could materially impact our operations, financial condition, and reputation. Our AI models may produce erroneous outputs due to faulty data inputs, algorithmic bias, or technical limitations, which could lead to inappropriate credit decisions, discriminatory outcomes, or regulatory violations. Despite our efforts to test and validate these systems, the complex nature of AI technologies makes it difficult to identify and address all potential flaws or biases. If our AI systems make decisions that are perceived as unfair, biased, or discriminatory, we could face

regulatory scrutiny, legal claims, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. The regulatory landscape governing AI is rapidly evolving, with new laws and regulations being proposed or enacted in various jurisdictions. These regulations may impose new requirements related to transparency, explainability, human oversight, data usage, and algorithmic accountability. Compliance with these emerging regulations may require significant resources and technical modifications to our systems. Failure to comply with current or future AI regulations could result in penalties, restrictions on our business activities, or increased regulatory scrutiny. We may face challenges in explaining or justifying AI-driven decisions to customers, regulators, or other stakeholders due to the inherent complexity and opacity of certain AI systems. This "black box" problem could hinder our ability to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws and regulations, particularly in areas such as fair lending and privacy. Our AI systems depend on high-quality data for training and operation. If the data used to train or operate these systems contains errors, biases, or is otherwise compromised, the resulting outputs could be flawed, potentially leading to operational inefficiencies, customer dissatisfaction, or regulatory issues. We may rely on third-party AI technologies or services, which could introduce additional risks related to data security, system reliability, and vendor management. If these third-party providers experience service disruptions, security breaches, or compliance failures, our operations could be adversely affected. As AI technologies continue to advance, we may face intellectual property challenges related to the development, acquisition, or use of AI systems. Additionally, the use of open-source AI components may create licensing compliance risks or unexpected limitations on our proprietary rights. The integration of AI into our cybersecurity infrastructure may create new vulnerabilities or attack vectors that could be exploited by malicious actors. Conversely, sophisticated AI-powered cyber threats may become more difficult to detect and mitigate, potentially increasing our exposure to data breaches or system compromises. If we are unable to effectively manage the risks associated with AI technologies, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation could be materially and adversely affected.

Evolving regulations governing cross-border data transfers may impair our ability to operate efficiently across international boundaries.

Our operations, particularly through our Carta subsidiary, involve the transfer of customer and operational data across international borders. Regulatory frameworks governing data transfers are rapidly evolving and increasingly restrictive in many jurisdictions. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Canada's proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act, and similar regulations in other jurisdictions impose strict requirements on cross-border data transfers. Compliance with these requirements often necessitates complex legal mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or adequacy decisions, which are subject to ongoing legal challenges and regulatory changes. Recent court decisions, including the invalidation of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, have created significant uncertainty regarding compliant data transfer mechanisms. If we are unable to transfer data between jurisdictions due to regulatory changes or the invalidation of transfer mechanisms, we may need to implement costly data localization measures, redesign our technical infrastructure, or limit our service offerings in certain regions. Any failure to comply with cross-border data transfer regulations could result in substantial fines, regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, and reputational damage.

Maintaining compliance with both Canadian and U.S. securities regulations creates additional costs, complexities, and risks.

As a company dual-listed on the TSX and Nasdaq, we are subject to securities laws and regulations in both Canada and the United States, which imposes additional compliance burdens and costs. These dual regulatory regimes sometimes contain differing or even conflicting requirements regarding corporate governance, disclosure obligations, internal controls, and financial reporting. Compliance with these varying requirements necessitates additional legal, accounting, and administrative resources. The costs associated with dual-listing compliance, including legal fees, accounting costs, listing fees, and additional

personnel, are substantial and ongoing. Any failure to comply with the requirements of either regulatory regime could result in delisting, regulatory penalties, shareholder litigation, and reputational damage. Additionally, changes to securities laws or regulations in either jurisdiction may require us to modify our compliance programs, governance practices, or disclosure controls, potentially increasing our compliance costs and diverting management attention from operational activities.

The implementation of open banking frameworks may alter competitive dynamics, create integration challenges, and impose new security and compliance obligations.

Various jurisdictions, including Canada, are developing or implementing open banking or consumer-directed finance frameworks that would require financial institutions to securely share customer data with authorized third parties at the customer's direction. The Department of Finance Canada has proposed an open banking framework that, if implemented, could impact our business model and competitive position. These initiatives may create opportunities for us to access customer data from traditional financial institutions, but also pose risks as they may lower barriers to entry for new competitors, potentially commoditizing certain aspects of our services. Implementation of open banking will likely require substantial investments in API development, security enhancements, and compliance systems. We may face technical challenges integrating with various financial institutions' systems, each with potentially different standards and specifications. Additionally, open banking frameworks typically impose strict requirements regarding data security, customer consent management, and liability allocation, creating new compliance obligations and potential sources of liability. If we are unable to effectively adapt to open banking environments, we may lose market share to competitors who more successfully leverage these frameworks.

ITEM 4: INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Mogo Finance Technology Inc. ("Mogo Finance") was incorporated under the Company Act on August 26, 2003 under the name "675909 B.C. Ltd." and transitioned under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") on May 4, 2005. Mogo Finance's name was changed several times, the last of which occurred on June 1, 2012 when its name was changed from "Hornby Management Inc." to the current name, "Mogo Finance Technology Inc.". Mogo Finance completed an initial public offering of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the trading symbol "GO" in June 2015.

The Company was incorporated by letters patent under the laws of Canada on January 14, 1972 under the name "Eskimo International Resources Limited." On August 17, 1972, the Company changed its name to "Natalma Mines Limited" by supplementary letters patent. The Company was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") by articles of continuance dated November 19, 1979. On May 4, 1983, the Company's name was changed to "Tonka Resources Inc.". The Company underwent several name changes between 1988 and 2013. On June 13, 2013, the Company changed its name to "Difference Capital Financial Inc" ("Difference").

On June 21, 2019, the Company completed a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"), being a business combination with Mogo Finance. In connection with the Arrangement, the Company was continued into British Columbia under the BCBCA and changed its name to "Mogo Inc." (referred to in this section as the "Combined Entity").

Under the Arrangement, Mogo Finance was amalgamated with a wholly owned subsidiary of Difference and each Mogo Finance common share (each a "Mogo Finance Share") outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement, other than Mogo Finance Shares held by Difference, was exchanged for one common share of the Combined Entity (each, a "Common Share"). On completion of the Arrangement, former Mogo Finance shareholders owned approximately 80% of the Combined Entity, on a fully diluted basis and the former directors of Mogo Finance made up a majority of the directors of the Combined Entity and the former officers of Mogo Finance became officers of the Combined Entity. In connection with the Arrangement, all of Mogo Finance's outstanding convertible securities became exercisable or convertible, as applicable, for Common Shares in accordance with the provisions thereof.

The Common Shares began trading on the TSX under the trading symbol "MOGO" in place of the Difference common shares at the open of trading on June 25, 2019. In addition, the Combined Entity was treated as a successor in interest to Mogo Finance and, as such, the Combined Entity was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq") under the symbol "MOGO". Mogo Finance Shares were delisted from the TSX on the close of trading on June 24, 2019. On August 10, 2023, the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Combined Entity were consolidated on a three for one basis.

Following the completion of the Arrangement, Mogo Finance became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Arrangement was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company by Mogo Finance under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, and accordingly, beginning with the second quarter of 2019, the Company's financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and all other documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada reflect the continuing operations of Mogo Finance.

Product Development

We are a product‑focused company that is passionate about developing new and innovative products. Our CEO leads our product team and ensures that all products are aligned with both our brand and our mission to improve the financial health of our members. We value convenience, transparency and simplicity, and create financial products for everyday life that we ourselves would want to use. We constantly monitor member feedback and market trends and strive to remain a market leader by continuing to optimize our user experience and value proposition. We expect to continue to invest in products that we believe meet our ROI criteria such as MogoTrade and Moka.

Our Platform

MogoTrade and Moka Platforms

MogoTrade and Moka are built entirely in the cloud leveraging a mesh of in-house made microservices using RESTful Application Program Interfaces ("APIs"). Application data resides in both Canada as well as the United States. We rely on a vast list of third parties to ensure that customers are making financial decisions based on correct market information and market analysis.

The user interface that customers interact with is designed to minimize the amount of customer inquiries required to be fielded by operations. Trading is facilitated through MogoTrade's technology suite, which was acquired in 2021. An extensive amount of application functionality rides on previously made services used in other lines of business at Mogo such as ledger services, funds transfers, account creation, and account management. The platforms take into consideration future customer scaling requirements.

Mogo Platform

We leverage our integrated platform specifically to meet the financial needs of consumers, with a track record of providing a growing and innovative suite of products that address the full credit spectrum of consumers. All functions are designed and built as small services for ease of use and enhanced system reliability.

Our platform is characterized by four key technology strengths:

The data that we generate through our various processes is monitored and allows us to continually refine and improve our business. This data plays a key role in our credit quality and marketing functions. Since we are able to correlate the performance of our products against these and other metrics, we are able to continuously improve the quality of our credit decisioning. Through the use of analytics, the data we collect also provides valuable marketing insight.

Carta Platform

Carta's business-to-business ("B2B") offering is based on a hosted platform with data centers in North America and Europe with direct connectivity to global card payment networks – Visa and MasterCard ("Payment Networks"). The Carta platform maintains data compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS Level 1), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and regional and bank partner regulatory requirements. In 2025, Carta expects to complete a migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and will decommission its existing data centers.

Carta serves customers seeking to issue payment cards by offering platform connectivity to Payment Networks and client facing interfaces that allow management of the card programs. Carta's customers access the platform through API and client administration portals, which are based on the API services. This allows for the real-time creation and modification of user accounts and issuing of 16 Digit Personal Account Numbers ("PANs"). The core of Carta's platform is the authorization functionality. This functionality allows for real-time authorizations of transactions based on rules within the Carta platform. Additionally, clients can interact with the authorization flow by way of Carta's delegated authorization service called Issuer Link. This provides clients an opportunity to apply business rules that go beyond standard processing rules. This enables clients to have a higher level of spend control on each and every authorization and build out products and offerings not possible on legacy platforms.

In 2025, Carta exited its Canadian payments business to focus on its core European market.

Platform Maintenance

We maintain our platforms with 51 full‑time technology and credit risk analysis employees (credit risk, product, design, development, business intelligence and information technology) as of December 31, 2024

Principal Markets

Mogo competes in the financial services industry in Canada and in Europe through its payments subsidiary, Carta Worldwide. In particular, we currently operate in all provinces and territories of Canada with some product-specific limitations in certain provinces.

The following table details the breakdown of revenue by category of activity in geographic markets for the years ended December 31:

Seasonality

The Company's business exhibits certain seasonal patterns, with relatively higher demand for wealth management services typically occurring during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The Company experiences higher loan repayments and insolvencies in the second quarter of the year. These seasonal variations primarily reflect consumer financial behaviors associated with tax filing periods and year-end financial planning activities. Historically, these seasonal fluctuations have not resulted in material volatility in the Company's financial results. Management continuously monitors these seasonal trends and implements appropriate operational adjustments and resource allocations to address anticipated demand variations throughout the year.

Marketing

Mogo and Moka

Our marketing strategy is centered around building Intelligent Investing into one of the most trusted and aspirational wealth platforms in Canada. Intelligent Investing brings together MogoTrade, Moka, and FinChat Pro under a single subscription-based membership, creating a differentiated offering that helps Canadians invest with intention, not speculation.

Rather than promote financial products in isolation, we market the philosophy and lifestyle of Intelligent Investing - an elevated, long-term approach that aligns with timeless principles and attracts a growing class of savvy, values -driven investors. Our goal is to position Intelligent Investing as the smart, high-status alternative to both traditional wealth management and short-term trading apps.

We deploy a fully integrated, multi-channel strategy that blends performance marketing with long-term brand building. This includes:

Across all channels, our marketing is built on a clear principle: we’re not just selling a product—we’re selling a better way to build wealth. Our goal is to create deep, lasting relationships with members and build Intelligent Investing into the go-to brand for thoughtful, high-performance investors in Canada.

Carta

Carta is a B2B platform with sales and marketing activities targeted towards fintechs, banks, and other corporations seeking to issue payment cards. Carta's primary market is Europe, with sales and marketing activities delivered through industry generated lead activity, including channel partnerships, web and social lead generation, in-bound inquiries, and direct sales engagement.

Intellectual Property

In accordance with industry practice, we protect our proprietary rights through a combination of copyright, trademark, design patent, trade secret laws and contractual provisions. The source code for our software is protected under Canadian and applicable international copyright laws. We currently have pending Canadian industrial design and United States design applications for "Display Screen Having Graphical User Interface for Investment Management". We have no issued patents or pending utility patent applications.

We also seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property and proprietary information by requiring employees and consultants to execute non‑disclosure and assignment of intellectual property agreements.

Such agreements require our employees and consultants to assign to us all intellectual property developed in the course of their employment or engagement. We also utilize non‑disclosure agreements to govern interaction with business partners and prospective business partners and other relationships where disclosure of proprietary information may be necessary.

Our software includes software components licensed from third parties, including open source software. We believe that we follow industry best practices for using open source software and that replacements for third‑party licensed software are available either as open source software or on commercially reasonable terms.

We are the registered owners of trademarks in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union and have a number of pending trademark applications in Canada. We are the authorized user of various social media handles, pages and profiles that reflect the Mogo and Moka brands and we have registered and maintain the registration of a variety of domain names that include "Mogo" or variations of "Mogo", "Moka" or variations of "Moka", "intelligentinvesting" as well as cartaworldwide.com.

The enforcement of our intellectual property rights depends on any legal actions against any infringers being successful, but these actions may not be successful or may be prohibitively expensive, even when our rights have been infringed. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors”.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

As of December 31, 2024, Mogo had 211 team members. With over twenty years of operating experience, we have developed strong competencies across multiple disciplines. In addition to 41 software developers, designers, data scientists, product managers, and marketers, we have all of the traditional roles of a financial services provider including credit risk, finance, customer experience, operations, governance, legal and compliance. Our team contributes to transforming the traditional financial services experience by delivering a digital suite of innovative financial products. Our future success partly depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees who share Mogo's passion for innovation through our products, platform and brand.

Competitive Conditions

Mogo, Moka, MogoTrade

The financial services industry continues to undergo rapid transformation, driven by shifting consumer expectations, digital innovation, and growing dissatisfaction with traditional financial institutions. Our competitors include other financial technology companies, other consumer finance companies, brokerages, online lenders, mortgage brokerages, traditional financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, and new market entrants. We compete with various financial services companies in each of our main products including financial technology companies such as Wealthsimple, Koho, Questrade, Qtrade and Webull; large Schedule I banks such as TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Royal Bank of Canada, Tangerine, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, EQ Bank and Bank of Montreal; credit unions such as Meridian Credit Union and Coast Capital Savings Federal Credit Union; and consumer credit companies such as Capital One, Fairstone Financial Inc., and goeasy.

What sets Mogo apart is our strategic focus on long-term financial outcomes rather than short-term engagement or product volume. Our Intelligent Investing platform is designed to disrupt the traditional wealth industry by offering a simple, powerful solution that helps users actually build wealth over time, where banks and brokers often profit from complexity, fees and frequent trading. Rather than mimic competitors, we’ve chosen to build a platform Warren Buffett or Charlie Munger might design: a

behavioral-first system that helps users gain a performance edge through discipline, education, and intelligent strategy, not speculation or hype.

We are also the only non-prime lender in Canada offering an integrated pathway from borrowing to investing -allowing us to serve a broader financial journey than most competitors. We believe our multi-pronged differentiation, including a clear value-driven strategy, 22 years of proprietary data, a strong brand (amplified through our Postmedia partnership), a talented team, and growing scale, positions us as a category-defining alternative to both legacy institutions and newer fintech entrants. As new players continue to enter the market, few are aligned with long-term outcomes in the way we are. Our focus is not just on acquiring users, but on helping them win financially for life.

Carta

As an issuer processor, Carta operates in a competitive market landscape that includes established legacy processing platforms as well other modern platforms. Legacy processing platforms, including TSYS, FISERV, FIS, and others historically emerged as an outsourcing of traditional bank credit and debit card processing functions and grew to become incumbent players in the payment card market. Often these platforms are based on legacy technology and were not designed to support the complex and dynamic requirements of modern fintech card issuing ecosystem.

As Carta competes against other modern issuer processors, the business leverages product differentiation, service level, pricing models, and partnership engagement to effectively compete in the market. Modern issuer processing platform competitors include Marqeta and Galileo (a subsidiary of SoFi). In some markets, Carta may also face competition from large fintech platforms such as Stripe, Adyen and Checkout.com, whose core business is not issuer processing but may be expanding to more directly compete with Carta. Competitive dynamics vary across countries and regions where Carta operates as well as within industry verticals, and Carta's B2B sales and marketing approach follows a model that is tailored to optimize growth within target market segmentation.

Government Regulations

Our business is subject to numerous federal, provincial and other local laws, ordinances and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, which are subject to change.

The following is an overview of key government regulations applicable to our business:

Privacy & Data Protection

Similarly to all Canadian businesses we are subject, at the federal level, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada is an Agent of Parliament whose mission is to protect and promote privacy rights. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) oversees compliance with the Privacy Act, which covers the personal information-handling practices of federal government departments and agencies, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law. In addition to the federal regulator, we are also subject to the purview of the equivalent provincial regulator, for provinces that do have such a body.

Carta operations in the European Union and is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Consumer Protection

As we operate a business to consumer model, we are subject to the various consumer protection and business practices acts that each of the Canadian provinces legislate and supervise through their respective provincial regulatory bodies for this matter. These regulations impact a variety of matters including marketing, cost of credit disclosure, credit reporting, lending, and collections.

Securities & Investments

Our business is subject to the securities legislations and regulations as developed and enforced by the provincial securities and investment regulators, the Canadian Securities Agency ("CSA") and CIRO. CIRO is committed to the protection of investors, providing efficient and consistent regulation, and building Canadians’ trust in financial regulation and the people managing their investments and is the primary body overseeing the activities of MogoTrade Inc. which is registered as an Investment Dealer. Furthermore, Mogo Asset Management Inc. ("MAMI") holds registrations as both an Exempt Market Dealer and as a Portfolio Manager. The primary regulatory framework for these activities is governed by National Instrument 31-103, National Instrument 45-106, and their related regulations and enforced by each of the provinces respective securities regulator, with the primary regulator for MAMI being Quebec’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers where MAMI is headquartered.

Lending

Our lending business activities are subject to section 347 of the Criminal Code, which prohibits the receipt of interest at a “criminal rate” (as defined therein). Following consultations on predatory lending conducted by the Department of Finance in August 2022, in 2023, the Canadian federal government introduced the Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No 1, to reduce the criminal rate of interest from 60% to 35%, and to replace an effective annual rate of interest calculation with an annual percentage rate of interest calculation. On January 1, 2025, these amendments came into force. However, the new criminal rate of interest does not apply in respect of any receipt of a payment or partial payment of interest that is interest at a criminal rate, if the payment arises from an agreement or arrangement to receive interest that was entered into before January 1, 2025 and the interest that arises from that agreement or arrangement would not have been at a criminal rate on the date it was entered into. In addition, the federal government has indicated it may further reduce the criminal rate of interest below 35% APR and a consultation on the further lowering of the criminal rate of interest closed on January 7, 2024. The Company continues to monitor developments in this area to ensure compliance with section 347 of the Criminal Code.

In addition to the criminal interest rate restrictions, certain of our MogoMoney products may be subject to new legislation and regulations respecting 'high-cost credit products' which have been implemented in certain provinces in which we operate. Provincial high-cost credit ("HCC") legislation has been implemented in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. HCC legislation, which is part of the broader provincial consumer protection regime in these provinces, imposes additional requirements, including licensing and disclosures, on lenders making loans above certain interest rate thresholds. We are currently licensed as an HCC lender in both provinces and comply with all regulatory requirements. We also continue to participate in the regulatory process, monitor the HCC landscape that continues to develop in other provinces. The Company will continue to ensure that its business complies with any HCC regulatory changes and is well positioned to respond to any enhanced disclosure requirements.

Financial Crime

As a provider of various types of financial services, we are subject to Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act ("PCMLTFA") and associated Regulations and must fulfill specific obligations as required by the PCMLTFA to help combat money laundering and terrorist activity financing in Canada. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada ("FINTRAC")

has the mandate to ensure the compliance of businesses subject to the PCMLTFA and to generate actionable financial intelligence for police, law enforcement and national security agencies to assist in the investigation of money laundering and terrorist activity financing offences or threats to the security of Canada.

French Language Laws

Our service offerings and operations within the province of Québec are subject to the language legislation of that province, namely the Charter of the French Language and its related legislation and regulations. These are supervised and enforced by the Office québecois de la langue francaise.

Mogo has a number of direct and indirect subsidiaries, each of which is wholly‑owned by Mogo. The following table sets out our significant subsidiaries, including their place of incorporation and our ownership interest, as of December 31, 2024:

Reorganization

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares of the Company. As at December 31, 2024, there were 24,472,377 common shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Each Common Share entitles its holder to notice of and to one vote at all meetings of the Company's shareholders.

Experts

The consolidated financial statements of Company which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes, have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of MNP LLP and KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firms, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firms as experts in accounting and auditing.

The following table summarizes our principal leased properties as of December 31, 2024. The Company does not own any real property and is remote-first with respect to its North America and European operations. We have a leased property in Vancouver for administrative and IT support purposes and leased properties in Morocco, Cyprus and PEI supporting our Carta business operations which are used for data centers, product development, customer service, collections and other related support services including finance, human resources, legal and compliance, marketing and branding, and business intelligence and analytics.

In 2023, we executed an Indenture to Sublease our 13,193 sq ft. Vancouver office to a third-party and entered a lease for a smaller office. Given our transition of Canadian employees to remote work, we are not planning to renew the lease for our Winnipeg office, which is set to expire shortly. Our PEI and Cyprus leases will also be allowed to expire in the near term, as we will not require those data center facilities following Carta’s transition to cloud-based data storage solutions. We consider our property in Casablanca to be adequate for its purpose. We currently expect to extend the terms of this lease or to find a replacement site on commercially acceptable terms. We do not anticipate any environmental issues that may affect the Company’s utilization of the assets. There are no plans to expand or improve the facilities described above.

Our material tangible property and equipment are described in note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 17. Financial Statements.”

Financial Performance Review

The following provides insight on the Company’s financial performance by illustrating and providing commentary on its key performance indicators and operating results.

Key Performance Indicators

The key performance indicators that we use to manage our business and evaluate our financial results and operating performance consist of: Mogo members, revenue, subscription and services revenue, net (loss) income, net cash used in operating activities, adjusted EBITDA(1), adjusted net loss(1) and cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable(1). We evaluate our performance by comparing our actual results to prior period results.

The tables below provide the summary of key performance indicators for the applicable reported periods:

Mogo members(1)

Our total member base grew to 2,194,000 members as at December 31, 2024, from 2,110,000 members as at December 31, 2023, representing an increase of approximately 4% or 84,000 net members. From Q3 2024, net members increased by 26,000 in Q4 2024. The growth in our member base reflects the continued adoption of our products by new members.

Revenue

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Total revenue increased to $18.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $17.2 million in the same period last year. This represents year over year growth in the Company’s wealth and payments businesses. The increase is primarily due to higher revenue from subscription-related offerings and increased payments revenue.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Total revenue increased by 9% to $71.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $65.2 million in the prior year, this increase is attributable to the same reasons noted above as well as and higher average gross receivables driving increased interest revenue.

Subscription and services revenue

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Subscription and services revenue increased by 11% to $11.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $10.2 million in the same period last year. This was driven by growth in wealth revenue to $2.9 million, representing a 19% or $0.5 million increase from $2.4 million in the same period last year. Additionally, the Company's payments revenue increased to $2.4 million representing a 27% or $0.5 million increase from $1.9 million in the same period last year.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Subscription and services revenue increased by 11% to $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $38.8 million in the prior last year, this increase is attributable to the same reasons noted above.

Net income (loss)

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Net income was $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which is an increase of $1.9 million compared to net income of $8.5 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, as well as a decrease in other non-operating expenses. Net income in the quarter reflects the impact of a $13.8 million gain on our marketable securities in Q4 2024 compared to $13.6 million in the same period last year.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Net loss was $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $17.9 million which is a decrease in net loss of $4.2 million. The net improvement was partially driven by increased revenue and gross profit in the current period. Additionally, there were higher losses in the prior year period related to impairment and non-operating expenses, net of revaluation gains, which contributed to the variance.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which is an improvement of $2.7 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($2.2 million) in the same period last year. The change was primarily due to an increase in revenues, lower net issuance of loans receivable, and more efficient working capital management in the current period.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 which is a decrease of $7.9 million compared to $9.2 million in prior last year. The decrease was primarily due to the reasons noted above.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which is a decrease of $0.6 million compared to $2.7 million in the same period last year. The Company saw a 5% increase in revenue compared to the prior year which was offset by greater upfront loan provisioning in the current quarter and slightly higher cash operating expenses.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is a decrease compared to $7.7 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased primarily due to higher growth expenditures in the year.

Adjusted net loss(1)

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Adjusted net loss was $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to an adjusted net loss of $0.2 million in the same period last year. This increase is due primarily to the factors noted above in adjusted EBITDA, offset by overall lower interest expenses.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Adjusted net loss was $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,which is a $1.2 million increase compared to an adjusted net loss of $2.9 million in the prior year, this increase is due to higher credit facility expense and higher cost of revenue compared to the same period last year, offset by an increase in revenue.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable(1)

Three months ended Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which is a $0.6 million decrease compared to $4.7 million in the same period last year. This change was primarily due to changes in working capital in the current period related to the timing of vendor payments, offset by an increase in revenues.

Year ended 2024 vs 2023

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable was $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is a $5.0 million improvement compared to $9.5 million in the prior year. This change was primarily due to an increase in revenues and more efficient working capital management in the current period.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable are non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

We use non‑IFRS financial measures to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non‑IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers.

Our management also uses non‑IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non‑IFRS financial measures versus their nearest IFRS equivalents. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any non‑IFRS financial measure and view it in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. In evaluating these non‑IFRS financial measures, readers should be aware that in the future we will continue to incur expenses similar to those adjusted in these non-IFRS financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net (loss) income before tax excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, credit facility interest expense, debenture and other financing expense, accretion related to debentures, share of (gain) loss in investment accounted for using the equity method, revaluation (gain) loss, impairment of goodwill, and other non-operating expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and the Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income before tax, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated:

Adjusted net loss

Adjusted net loss is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as net loss before tax excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, share of (gain) loss in investment accounted for using equity method, revaluation loss, impairment of goodwill, and other non-operating expense. This measure differs from adjusted EBITDA in that adjusted net loss includes credit facility interest expense, and debenture and other financing expense, and thus comprises more elements of the Company’s overall net profit or loss. Adjusted net loss is a measure used by management and the Board to evaluate the Company’s core financial performance.

Adjusted net loss was redefined in the current period to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses, and furthermore, a significant portion of depreciation and amortization expense relates to the amortization of historical acquired intangibles, for which consideration was paid in common shares. Management considers this view to be more relevant in understanding the current nature of the business and more accurately aligns with management’s continued focus on cash flow. Prior period comparatives have also been restated as a result of the change in definition.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) before tax, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated:

Cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as cash used in operating activities, less net issuance of loans receivables. The Company requires net cash outflows in order to grow its gross loans receivable, which in turn generates future growth in interest revenue. These net cash outflows are presented within the operating activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, whereas the economic benefits are realized over the longer term. Consequently, we consider cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable to be a useful measure in understanding the cash flow trends inherent to our existing scale of operations, by separating out the portion of cash flows related to investment in portfolio growth.

The following table presents a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, for each of the periods indicated:
