Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share1 of $0.94 in Q3/26, down from Adj. Dil. EPS1 of $1.02 in Q2/26
Gross Consumer Loans Receivable of $4.88 billion at Q3/26 end, down 2% from $5.00 billion at Q2/26
Total Yield On Consumer Loans1,4 of 27.7% in Q3/26, down 60 bps from 28.3% in Q2/26
Net Charge Off Rate1 of 15.2% in Q3/26, down 150 bps from 16.7% in Q2/26
Cash Provided By Operating Activities Before Net Principal Written2 of $606.8 million, up from $585.4 million in Q2/26

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 10, 2026 /CNW/ — goeasy Ltd. (TSX: GSY), (“goeasy” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading consumer lenders focused on delivering a full suite of financial services to Canadians with non-prime credit scores, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“Through the focused efforts of the entire goeasy team, we made significant progress this quarter in executing our six-point plan,” said Patrick Ens, goeasy’s Chief Executive Officer. “We reduced our net charge off rate by 150 basis points compared to the prior quarter, generated $606.8 million in cash from operating activities before net principal written, grew our cash balance by $179.7 million with nil outstanding on our revolving credit facility, and renewed our revolving securitization warehouse facility at a reduced interest rate. As well as achieving a more robust liquidity position, goeasy also increased our direct-to-consumer gross loans receivable over the course of the quarter, an important milestone as we continue to strengthen our foundation for sustainable, profitable growth.”

Third Quarter Results

During the quarter, the Company funded $567.5 million in gross loan originations, down 40% compared to $945.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in lending, consistent with the Company’s six-point plan, was primarily due to a reduction in merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan originations attributable to the implementation of tighter credit underwriting measures as those portfolios continued to exhibit unfavourable credit risk performance.

Gross consumer loans receivable decreased 10% to $4.88 billion as at September 30, 2026 from $5.44 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025, and decreased 2% from $5.00 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026. The decrease in the Company’s average consumer loans receivable and lower total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products) were the main drivers of the 18% decrease in revenue from $454.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 to $371.6 million in the third quarter of 2026. Total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products)1 realized by the Company on its average consumer loans receivable was 27.7% in the quarter, down 370 bps from the same period in 2025, and down 60 bps from the second quarter of 2026. Total annualized yield decreased year-over-year mainly due to the impact of the higher charge offs on gross consumer loans receivable and higher bad debt expenses on interest receivable, lower yields on certain ancillary products as a result of a decline in commissions and fees earned due to credit tightening in merchant-originated loan originations and a moderate reduction in direct to consumer loan originations, as well as a higher proportion of larger dollar value loans, and the continued impact of the lowered maximum allowable rate of interest on the Company’s unsecured lending products.

During the quarter, net charge offs as a percentage of average gross consumer loans receivable1 was 15.2%, up 620 bps from 9.0% in the third quarter of 2025. Net charge offs as a percentage of average gross consumer loans receivable1 increased year-over-year primarily due to higher charge offs in the merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan portfolios, higher charge offs in the direct-to-consumer portfolio and lower average gross consumer loans receivable. Net charge offs were down 150 bps from 16.7% in the second quarter of 2026, mainly due to the continuation of improved credit risk performance in the merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan portfolios and lower charge offs in the direct-to-consumer portfolio.

The total allowance for credit losses on gross consumer loans increased to $516.3 million from $451.7 million as at September 30, 2025, mainly due to the Company’s Q4 2025 revised assessment of collectability and an increase in the credit loss outlook for merchant-originated automotive and powersports loans. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, the net change in allowance for credit losses on gross consumer loans was $16.7 million, compared to $45.0 million in the same period of 2025. This change was primarily due to lower growth in the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, which was partially offset by an increase in the rate of allowance for expected credit losses. The rate of allowance for expected credit losses, defined as the allowance for credit losses on gross consumer loans receivable as a percentage of the ending gross consumer loans receivable, increased from 9.99% as at June 30, 2026 to 10.59% as at September 30, 2026, driven primarily by expected higher credit losses in the merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan portfolio and the unsecured lending product and unfavourable changes in the macroeconomic outlook incorporated into the Company’s IFRS 9 expected credit loss model.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2026 was $53.0 million, down 67% from $159.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. After adjusting for unusual and non-recurring items, the Company reported adjusted operating income2 of $56.3 million, a decrease from $163.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The efficiency ratio1 for the third quarter of 2026 was 25.1%, a decline from 23.4% in the third quarter of 2025.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2026 was $17.0 million, down from net income of $28.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. Diluted loss per share was $1.03, down from diluted earnings per share of $1.70 reported in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss2 for the third quarter of 2026 was $15.5 million, down from adjusted net income2 of $64.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in adjusted net income was primarily driven by lower adjusted operating income from lower total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products) and elevated credit losses. Adjusted diluted loss per share1 was $0.94, down from adjusted diluted earnings per share1 of $3.84 in the third quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.44 billion as at September 30, 2026, a decrease of 13% from $6.24 billion as at September 30, 2025, related primarily to a $692.8 million decrease in net consumer loans receivable, driven by lower originations during the period and higher charge offs recognized from the fourth quarter of 2025 to the third quarter of 2026, and impairment of goodwill related to the LendCare cash-generating unit. Cash provided by operating activities before net principal written2 in the third quarter of 2026 was $606.8 million, compared to $623.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The Company’s debt-to-adjusted tangible equity ratio3, a capital management measure for leverage, was 5.02x as at September 30, 2026, compared to 4.16x as at September 30, 2025 and 4.95x as at June 30, 2026. The average blended coupon interest rate for the Company’s debt as at September 30, 2026 was 6.8%.

As at September 30, 2026, goeasy had liquidity (cash on hand plus unused contractual borrowing capacity) of $1.23 billion. On September 29, 2026, the Company renewed its revolving securitization warehouse facility collateralized by consumer loans (the “Securitization Facility”) and restored its ability to make additional draws on the Securitization Facility, subject to certain conditions. The renewed Securitization Facility provides total contractual borrowing capacity of $910 million, reduced from $1.12 billion to better align with the Company’s anticipated funding requirements during the renewed term while reducing costs associated with unused capacity. Advances under the Securitization Facility will bear interest at an annual rate of Adjusted Daily Compounded Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“Adjusted CORRA”) plus 275 bps, a 35 bps decrease from the 310 bps spread over Adjusted CORRA applicable under the Securitization Facility previously. The lending syndicate was unchanged.

The Company has initiated conversations with the lenders under its Revolving Credit Facility to discuss the extension of the facility, as well as amendments to the financial covenants and other terms to help support ongoing covenant compliance in the coming quarters and through the extended term of the facility. The Company does not currently have any amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility and does not anticipate any draws in the near term given its current liquidity position. The Company was in compliance with all of its covenants (including financial covenants) under its Revolving Credit Facility as at September 30, 2026. The Company was not subject to financial covenant compliance, and was in compliance with all other applicable covenants, for the Securitization Facility as at September 30, 2026.

These assumptions and expectations are subject to a number of risks, including the following, as well as those set out in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s MD&A: Environmental & Market Conditions (Uncertainty in consumer demand or broader economic conditions may adversely impact loan originations and portfolio performance; Deterioration in employment levels or economic stability could negatively affect credit performance and increase net charge off rates; Competitive dynamics or pricing pressures may impact margins and growth); Access to Capital & Funding (The Company’s ability to access capital on acceptable terms and maintain adequate liquidity to support operations and strategic priorities); Regulatory Environment (Changes to laws and regulations governing consumer lending that could impact product offerings, pricing or operations); Credit Performance (A material increase in net charge off as a percentage of gross consumer loans receivable beyond expectations, including adverse performance from prior vintages or new originations); and Operating Execution (The Company’s ability to successfully execute on its six-point plan, including underwriting changes, and operating model alignment and platform consolidation; Risks associated with transitioning originations and customer portfolios toward the easyfinancial platform). The 2026 Outlook Information constitutes targets established by the Company and is subject to change as plans and business conditions vary. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the 2026 Outlook Information. Actual results may differ materially.
