Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• Since 2023, direct-to-paid acquisition has accounted for approximately 48% - 58% of our annual Paid Subscriber acquisition, and is largely driven by display ads and targeted email campaigns.
• Because of the quality of our products, we believe subscribers will stay with us and expand their subscriptions over time.
• While we believe that Billings provides valuable insight into the cash that will be generated from sales of our subscriptions, this metric may vary from period to period for a number of reasons and, therefore, Billings have a number of limitations as a quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year comparative measure.
• We expect Adjusted CFFO and Adjusted CFFO Margin to fluctuate in future periods as we invest in our business to execute our growth strategy.
• The Company estimates that the amount of “float” was approximately $95.9 million and $98.2 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
• The investment allocation decisions are based in part on the anticipated liquidity requirements of the Company including working capital, estimated tax related distributions, and broader capital allocation objectives.
• We expect that our anticipated operating cash flows, in addition to cash on hand, will enable us to continue to make investments in the future, and to pay dividends.
• We expect our operating cash flows to further improve as we increase our operational efficiency and experience economies of scale.
• Our continued declaration and payment of dividends and institution of any other distributions of capital to shareholders will be at the discretion of our Board.
• There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends in the future.
• We expect to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in future periods in connection with certain tax benefits realized by MarketWise, Inc. from exchanges of MarketWise, LLC units for shares of MarketWise, Inc.’s Class A common stock.
• The Company expects to pay $0.6 million within the next twelve months.
