Figure Technology Solutions Reports First Quarter 2026 Results, Achieves Record Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume
NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Figure Technology Solutions (Nasdaq: FIGR; OPEN: FGRS), the leading blockchain-native capital marketplace for the origination, funding, sale and trading of tokenized assets, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"We delivered exceptional first-quarter results, headlined by 113% year-over-year growth in our Consumer Loan Marketplace and the addition of a record 80 new partners. Our blockchain ecosystem saw equally rapid expansion, with YLDS and Democratized Prime matched offers both growing approximately 80% quarter-over-quarter as we continue to bring entire asset classes on-chain. Despite significant market volatility, we believe these results validate the resilience of our capital-light model, and our role in replacing legacy infrastructure with blockchain-native capital markets."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics
Financial Measures
In order to better help understand our financial performance, we use several key operating metrics that should be viewed independently of GAAP items, as these metrics are not intended to be combined with those items. Our determination and presentation of these metrics may differ from that of other companies. The presentation of these metrics is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Key Operating Metrics
Ecosystem Volume
We define Ecosystem Volume as the total of Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume and Digital Asset Marketplace Volume.
Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume
We define Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume as the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of originations of HELOCs, DSCR, and personal loans on our LOS, as well as the volume of third-party loans traded on Figure Connect. We believe this measure is an indication of our scale and represents the potential revenue opportunity from the technology used for consumer credit loan originations.
Net Take Rate
Net Take Rate is derived from the sum of ecosystem and technology fees, origination fees, gain on sale of loans, net and gain on servicing asset, net from our consolidated statement of operations. These items represent revenue generated from Figure-branded and Partner-branded volume. Valuation changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which we believe is not indicative of operating performance, and marketing expenses in our operating expenses are deducted. This net amount is divided by overall Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume for that period.
$YLDS In Circulation
We define $YLDS in Circulation as the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of unsecured face-amount certificates solely backed by the assets of Figure Certificate Company (FCC), which is the issuer of the certificates. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.
Matched Offers
We define Matched Offers as the U.S. dollar equivalent value of offers matched between borrower and lenders on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.
Borrower Demand
We define Borrower Demand as the U.S. dollar equivalent value that borrowers seek to borrow from the lending pool on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.
Available Lender Supply
We define Lender Supply as the U.S. dollar equivalent value that lenders have made available in the lending pool on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Revenue
Adjusted Net Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure used by our management to evaluate operating performance. Accordingly, we believe this measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, Adjusted Net Revenue provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of a non-cash, non-realized adjustment that is included in net revenue. Adjusted Net Revenue is defined as net revenue excluding the change in fair value of MSR and change in fair value of marketable securities associated with changes in our estimates that management has determined are not reflective of our operating performance, and net of interest paid to holders of YLDS.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, these measures provide useful information for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash items, variable charges, non-recurring items, unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income or expenses associated with the early stages of the business that are expected to ultimately terminate, pursuant to the terms of certain existing contractual arrangements or expected to continue at levels materially below the historical level, or that otherwise do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense incurred in connection with our debt obligations other than debt associated with our funding of loans held for sale, income taxes, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash changes in certain financial instruments, and other items that management has determined are not reflective of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted net revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income margin (calculated as net income divided by total net revenue).
The Company added valuation changes in the fair value of marketable securities and YLDS funding costs to its definition of Adjusted Net Revenue, and valuation changes in the fair value of marketable securities, to its definition of Adjusted EBITDA effective March 31, 2026 Prior period amounts presented in the reconciliation table below have been recast to reflect the current methodology to facilitate period-over-period comparability.
Management excludes period-to-period changes in the fair value of marketable securities from Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because they reflect non-cash, unrealized mark-to-market fluctuations driven by external market factors, including changes in discount rates, prepayment speeds, and credit spreads, that are not reflective of the Company's underlying operating performance.
The Company’s economic benefit from YLDS is the 35 basis point spread it retains on outstanding balances, regardless of the total amount of YLDS in circulation. Management therefore presents YLDS-related interest expense net of associated interest income within Adjusted Net Revenue, as it believes this net spread is the most meaningful measure of the YLDS's contribution to operating performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Total Net Revenue to Adjusted Net Revenue, Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income margin to Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
