SALT LAKE CITY, April 29, 2026 - PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Purchasing Power, Four Technologies and MoneyApp, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, which includes the results of Purchasing Power since January 2, 2026, the date the Company acquired Purchasing Power.

"We delivered a strong start to 2026, with first quarter results exceeding the high end of our outlook for earnings, and non-GAAP EPS," said PROG Holdings President and CEO Steve Michaels. "This performance reflects disciplined execution across the organization and the benefits of our diversified model, with improving trends at Progressive Leasing, continued triple-digit growth and strong economics at Four, and growth at Purchasing Power. Importantly, Progressive Leasing returned to year-over-year GMV growth as we exited the quarter, reflecting the progress we've made on our initiatives and the lapping of prior headwinds. We also meaningfully improved the balance sheet, reducing our net leverage ratio to two times as we prioritized debt reduction following the Purchasing Power acquisition."

"We saw continued momentum in our ecosystem with increasing engagement across products, which is driving higher customer lifetime value and improving acquisition efficiency. As our ecosystem scales, we are able to drive more efficient growth through cross-product connectivity."

"Based on our strong first quarter and the momentum we are seeing in the business, we have increased our full-year 2026 outlook, providing a positive start towards the three-year 2028 compound annual growth targets we outlined at our Investor Day. These targets, inclusive of Purchasing Power on a pro forma 2025 basis, are to grow consolidated GMV 20% to 25%, revenue 5% to 8%, Adjusted EBITDA 13% to 16%, and non-GAAP EPS 17% to 20%. Despite a challenging

macro environment, our model is performing as designed, and we remain focused on executing our Grow, Enhance, and Expand strategy that we believe will deliver durable, profitable growth and long-term shareholder value," concluded Michaels.
