MoneyLion: An Illogical Deal
Summary MoneyLion's impressive Q4 results question the rationale behind its $1 billion buyout by Gen Digital. The deal includes $82 per share in cash plus a CVR, requiring Gen Digital's stock to rise above $37.50 for 30 days. MoneyLion's 40% revenue and 55% adjusted EBITDA growth highlight its undervaluation, contrasting with Gen Digital's minimal 4% growth. Due to the buyout, MoneyLion's current trading price of $87 suggests limited upside, with investors risking only $5 for potential gains via the CVR.

MoneyLion Has An Unusual M&A Deal For You
Summary MoneyLion is being acquired by Gen Digital for $1 billion, offering a potential high-reward investment due to its undervaluation and strong revenue growth. Gen Digital's acquisition includes a Contingent Value Right (CVR) that could provide additional returns if Gen Digital's stock price reaches $37.50 within 24 months. MoneyLion's strong customer acquisition and positive cash flow make it a valuable addition to Gen Digital's portfolio, enhancing its consumer finance offerings. The primary risk is financial uncertainty regarding the CVR payout, but the deal's structure offers a favorable risk-reward ratio for investors.

Summary We believe MoneyLion's novel methodologies and capital market-based metrics are best-in-class.

MoneyLion: Big Plans For A Penny Stock
Summary MoneyLion hasn't rallied following a positive Investor Day back in early December. The fintech projects at least 35% revenue growth for the next 2 to 3 years while the stock is priced for the company going out of business. The stock is cheap trading at a fraction of the nearly $500 million sales target for 2023, but MoneyLion wouldn't trade below $1, if risks didn't exist. At Investor Day 2022, MoneyLion (ML) executives highlighted the big plans of the small fintech. The company continued forward with an intent to create a financial Super App with a robust business focused on investment content along with products to help consumers. My investment thesis remains ultra Bullish on the stock with the irrational dip below $1 making MoneyLion a top pick for 2023. Booming Medium-Term Targets MoneyLion trading below $1 remains bizarre with the company growing revenues in the 100% range since the company came public via the SPAC deal back in 2021. The fintech did cut 2022 financial targets following a dip in enterprise revenue expectations as other fintechs pull back on marketing spend. The market should've been relieved that MoneyLion maintained strong financial targets through the next couple of years. The fintech is now targeting revenue growth between 35% to 50% through the medium-term, which the CFO defined as the next 2 to 3 years at the Investor Day. Source: MoneyLion Investor Day '22 presentation The company has a unique business model for fintechs with a focus on enterprise revenues from working with other fintech partners. MoneyLion provides investment content for users along with connecting those members to financial partners offering financial solutions, such as house or car loans. In the future, the fintech plans to benefit as much from affiliate and advertising fees as instant transfer fee and interest income. MoneyLion plans for a 50/50 revenue diversification from consumer and enterprise revenues of their 5.4 million members at the end of Q3'22. Source: Investor Day 2022 presentation MoneyLion cut the Q4 and 2022 financial targets due to a decrease in enterprise partner spending with a looming recession. The fintech still forecasts a robust revenue target for the year at $325 million. The market doesn't like EBITDA losing companies in this current weak economic environment, but MoneyLion should've ended the year not too far from EBITDA profits. The company lost $14 million in Q3'22 and between cost initiatives and revenue growth, the amount should approach breakeven very quickly with the goal of reaching 20% adjusted EBITDA margins in the medium term. Source: MoneyLion Investor Day '22 presentation Very important to note that MoneyLion isn't targeting 20%+ adjusted EBITDA margins in the long term, the company is forecasting the positive margin in the next few years. The fintech could be talking about adjusted EBITDA topping $100 million by 2025. MoneyLion has these key financial targets from the Investor Day for the medium-term targets: 35-50% revenue CAGR 55-65% adj. gross profit margin 20-30% positive adj. EBITDA margin The company suggests the medium term means 2 to 3 years leading to the below financial targets for 2025: Revenue: $325M @ 42.5% growth = $940M Adj. EBITDA: $940M @ 25% margin = $235M 20x Adj. EBITDA multiple = $4.7B market cap The stock only has a current market cap of ~$225 million providing substantial upside potential, if MoneyLion only hits the targets. Of course, the fintech hasn't hit targets having just cut expectations for Q4. Analysts already forecast MoneyLion hitting nearly $15 million in positive EBITDA next year. The fintech reported an EBITDA loss of $14 million in the last quarter, so the team has a lot of work to close the gap. Data by YCharts The company stripped out $15 million in fixed costs starting in Q4 amounting to ~$3.5 million per quarter. Clearly, the next quarterly report must show material progressing in shifting from large EBITDA losses to at least breakeven for the stock to work here. Limited Analyst Coverage The biggest issue with MoneyLion appears related to the company coming public via a SPAC. The stock has no support from analysts despite an average price target of $4. Source: TipRanks At Investor Day 2022, the analysts didn't ask any questions or provide any updated financial information. The stock should have far more analyst coverage with a revenue base of $320 million heading to nearly $500 million in 2023.Seeking Alpha • Dec 08
