Figure Technology Launches 4.23 Million-Share Secondary as Preliminary Q4 Beats Estimates

Preliminary results top Street views, with the SEC registration for the sale still awaiting effectiveness before any shares can be sold.

Overview

  • Figure announced a proposed secondary public offering of up to 4,230,000 shares of its Series A Blockchain Common Stock by selling stockholders.
  • Because the sale is by existing holders, the company expects no proceeds, and it plans to repurchase up to $30 million of Class A shares from the underwriters using cash on hand.
  • A registration statement has been filed with the SEC but is not yet effective, so the offering cannot proceed until effectiveness.
  • Preliminary fourth-quarter revenue was guided to $158 million to $162 million, above roughly $154 million consensus, with adjusted EBITDA projected at $80 million to $83 million.
  • Consumer loan originations on Figure’s on-chain marketplace rose 131% year over year, and shares traded in the mid-$30s following the disclosures, with final results due later this month.
