Orion Digital operates a digital wealth platform supported by payments infrastructure that enables transaction authorization across financial networks.
The Company generates the majority of its revenue from recurring subscription and services revenue through its Intelligent Investing wealth platform, supported by
Subscription and services revenue represented 62% of total revenue in 2025, reflecting Orion Digital’s continued transition toward platform-driven recurring revenue. The Wealth platform represents the Company’s primary growth engine.
The Company also operates a mature consumer lending portfolio that generates stable cash flow and supports capital allocation and continued investment in its platform businesses.
As financial systems become increasingly automated, platforms that control how capital is allocated and how transactions are authorized are becoming increasingly important. Orion Digital’s wealth and payments platforms operate within these infrastructure layers.
Adjusted growth rates exclude certain non-core businesses exited during 2024 -2025 in order to better reflect underlying platform growth. These exited operations represented approximately

Management Commentary
“2025 marked an important step in our transition toward a platform-driven business model. Subscription and services revenue now represents 62% of total revenue, while our Wealth and Payments platforms grew 27% year-over-year, or 31% on an adjusted basis. As financial systems become increasingly automated and AI-driven, the layers that govern capital allocation and transaction authorization become more important. Orion Digital is focused on building scalable infrastructure platforms with recurring revenue and operating leverage that operate at those critical points within the financial system.”
“Our platform businesses continue to drive improving operating economics. Adjusted subscription and services revenue increased 12% year-over-year while Wealth and Payments revenue grew 31% on an adjusted basis. Full-year results exceeded previously communicated ranges, reflecting stronger-than-expected platform growth, stable lending performance, and continued operating discipline.

Financial markets are entering a period where artificial intelligence and automated analytical tools are rapidly compressing informational advantages. As data analysis and financial research become widely accessible through AI systems, the traditional edge derived from information asymmetry is likely to diminish. In this environment, long-term investment outcomes are increasingly determined by capital allocation discipline, portfolio construction, and investor behavior rather than trading activity. The Intelligent Investing platform is designed around this principle. The system emphasizes structured allocation frameworks and behavioral discipline intended to support long-term compounding rather than activity-driven trading.
Payments Platform (Carta)
For full-year 2025, Payments revenue totaled
-
Payments revenue:
$9.9 million (+15% reported; +23% adjusted1) -
European transaction volume1:
$11.1 billion (+14% YoY) -
Total transaction volume:
$11.9 billion
European transaction volume growth reflects continued expansion of the Company’s issuer processing platform across existing European programs. During the year the Company completed the migration of its payments platform infrastructure to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), improving scalability, resilience, and operational efficiency. Carta operates within the authorization layer of payment networks, providing the infrastructure that authorizes transactions, enforces program rules, and connects payment activity to regulated settlement networks.

2026 Outlook
The outlook that follows constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Orion Digital’s control.
The Company expects continued growth in subscription and services revenue in 2026 as its Wealth platform expands and its Payments infrastructure continues to scale.
Key drivers include:
- Wealth: Revenue growth driven by the rollout of Intelligent Investing Phase 2 in the first half of the year, expanding the platform beyond the managed portfolio offering introduced in Phase 1.
- Payments: Revenue growth supported by the expansion of existing European programs and new program launches following the Company’s exit from the Canadian payments market in 2025.
Consolidated revenue is expected to remain relatively stable in 2026, reflecting the disciplined management of the Company’s consumer lending portfolio.
Reflecting these trends, Orion Digital expects Adjusted EBITDA2 in the range of approximately

2Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. Management has not reconciled these forward-looking non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measure, net loss before tax. This is because the Company cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of certain IFRS components of such reconciliations due to market-related assumptions that are not within our control as well as certain legal or advisory costs, tax costs or other costs that may arise. For these reasons, management is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable IFRS measures.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release makes reference to certain 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. These measures are provided as additional information to complement the IFRS financial measures contained herein by providing further metrics to understand 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, including adjusted revenue, adjusted subscription and services revenue, adjusted payments revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and cash provided by (used in) operating activities before investment in gross loans receivable, 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 also use 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. For more information, please see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended
The following tables present a reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure.
