Company Presents Forward Vision for New Payments Business

Signed Agreement for $10 million Convertible Note to Fund Payments Business

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, August 14, 2024 — PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare,” or the “Company”), America’s leading commerce and payments ecosystem valuing life, family, and liberty, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024.

Michael Seifert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PublicSquare, commented, “Our second-quarter results show we are on a solid path towards profitability with revenue growth far outpacing the growth of expenses, but the greatest success of the last quarter is the strong foundation we have set for the future of our Marketplace and Payments ecosystem. Three years ago, our business consisted of an idea, a few lines of code, and seven employees in a one-room office. We had a roadmap filled with promise, but we knew our vision could only be accomplished through determined and deft execution. We put our heads down, got to work, and the growth we’ve experienced has exceeded our expectations. We generated $7,000 in revenue in 2021, $475,000 in 2022, $5.7 million in 2023, and in the last quarter alone, generated $6.0 million. We’ve executed, and yet we as a team hold the firm belief that we have barely scratched the surface of our business potential. This year, we’ve focused on developing our payments business in order to serve our tens of thousands of merchants with best-in-class technology, competitive rates, and a cancel-proof promise. We believe, with the launch of our payment stack this month, with over $200M in annualized GMV (“Gross Merchandise Value”) in payments processing volume already under contract and integrating, and with a line of sight to $1.0 billion of annualized GMV by the beginning of the 2024 Christmas shopping season, our vision for the Marketplace and Payments ecosystem is materializing and is ready for scale. The $10 million convertible note investment will supercharge this initiative and allow us to capitalize on the strong demand we’ve received from our merchants.” 

SECOND HALF 2024 OUTLOOK

Looking ahead into the remainder of 2024, the Company expects to hit several significant milestones and make certain strategic changes throughout its business. Most significantly, the Company will formally launch its payments platform, for which it already has over $200 million of annualized GMV under contract, with a line of sight to $1.0 billion of annualized GMV by the beginning of the 2024 Christmas shopping season. 

In light of the enhanced focus on its financial technology stack and the synergies that are materializing between the Marketplace and Financial Technology, the Company intends to sunset the brand name “Credova” and consolidate the branding, marketing, and product features under the name “PublicSquare”. The PublicSquare Marketplace will continue to focus its offerings on a family-values-oriented audience, targeting its core consumers with a better shopping experience while expanding its Business-to-Business (“B2B”) and Business-to-Consumer (“B2C”) software as a service (“SaaS”) offerings to merchants through payments, credit, and advertising services. This change, along with reallocating and consolidating people and resources, are expected to result in cost savings for the overall business. 

The Company’s Brands segment will launch EveryLife soaps & lotions in the third quarter of 2024, expanding its product offerings into a vertical the Company’s consumers have been demanding, followed in the fourth quarter by the addition of a training pants line and the international expansion of the EveryLife brand to South Korea. The Company now expects its Eden feminine care brand to launch in the first quarter of 2025, aligning with the renewed focus of the overall business. The Company’s brands remain a successful part of its portfolio, and the company will continue to make appropriate investments in this segment; however, the company expects that in the medium to long term, as its SaaS offerings grow, brands will occupy a smaller percentage of its revenue base in the future.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT EXTENSION

Chairman and CEO Michael Seifert, Chief Financial Officer Brad Searle, and Investor and Advisor Donald Trump Jr. extended their lock-up agreements for an additional 12 months in the third quarter of 2024 to indicate their strong belief in and commitment to the business’s promising future.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net earnings (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude change in fair value of our financial instruments, other income (expense), net, transaction expenses and share-based compensation expense. We utilize adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allow for a more relevant comparison of our results of operations to other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted EBITDA differently.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the periods presented:
