Unencumbered cash at the holding company was approximately $71 million as of June 30, 2023.

"It was a solid quarter with results largely in line with our expectations. Solid operating performance coupled with a focus on cost control are intended to position us to absorb some incremental headwinds in the second half of the year. We are reaffirming our revenue guidance while narrowing the range for adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS, with the mid-point remaining intact with prior guidance," said Jess Unruh, CFO of Green Dot.

Updated 2023 Financial Guidance

Green Dot has provided its most recent financial outlook for 2023. Green Dot’s outlook is based on a number of assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time of this earnings release. In particular, its outlook reflects several considerations, including but not limited to, the expected impact of the previously announced loss of certain partnerships and programs, negative trends within certain channels of its business, the current macro-economic environment including rising interest rates, the expected timing of expected cost savings from its platform conversion, and its investment in strategic initiatives. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in Green Dot's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total Non-GAAP Operating Revenues2

  • Green Dot is reaffirming its guidance range for full year non-GAAP total operating revenues2 to be between $1.376 billion and $1.462 billion, or approximately flat year-over-year at the mid-point.

Adjusted EBITDA2

  • Green Dot is reaffirming the mid-point of its full year adjusted EBITDA2 range while narrowing the low and high end of its range to $182 million and $188 million, or down 23% year-over-year at the mid-point, versus its previous guidance range of $180 million and $190 million.

Non-GAAP EPS2

  • Green Dot is reaffirming the mid-point of its full year non-GAAP EPS2 range while narrowing the low and high end of its range to $1.80 and $1.90, or down 29% year-over-year at the mid-point, versus its previous guidance range of $1.77 and $1.93.
