Total operating revenues

Our total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $35.6 million, or 8.6%, over the prior year comparable period, driven primarily by higher revenues in our B2B Services and Money Movement Services segments, partially offset by lower revenues earned in our Consumer Services segment.

Our consolidated total operating revenues increased year-over-year due to the continued growth of certain BaaS partner programs, which generated an increase in our total gross dollar volume of 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

However, our total operating revenues were negatively impacted by several other factors impacting our deposit account programs, as discussed below, that impacted the number of consolidated active accounts, purchase volume and number of cash transfers, each of which decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 9%, 14% and 11%, respectively, over the prior year comparable period.

In our Consumer Services segment, revenues decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 28% over the prior year comparable period.

Gross dollar volume, the number of active accounts, the number of direct deposit active accounts and purchase volume declined year-over-year for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 21%, 20%, 23% and 23%, respectively.

We believe these decreases in our Consumer Services segment are attributable to several factors, including our decision to wind-down many of our legacy accountholder programs in support of GO2bank, macro-economic factors leading to economic challenges for consumers and other trends that have impacted acquisition at retail locations, and the non-renewal of one of our retail partner programs as previously disclosed.

Our total operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $41.2 million or 11%, and $76.9 million, or 10%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods, driven primarily by higher revenues in our B2B Services segment and to a lesser extent in our Money Movement Services segment, partially offset by lower revenues earned in our Consumer Services segment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchase volume and number of cash transfers decreased by similar levels of 13% and 8%, respectively, over the prior year comparable period.

In our Consumer Services segment, revenues decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by 25% and 27%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

Gross dollar volume, the number of active accounts, the number of direct deposit active accounts and purchase volume declined year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2024 by 22%, 25%, 24% and 24%, respectively.

Similarly, gross dollar volume and purchase volume declined for the six months ended June 30, 2024 by 21% and 23%, respectively.

We believe these decreases in our Consumer Services segment are attributable to several factors, including our decision to wind-down many of our legacy accountholder programs in support of GO2bank, macro-economic factors leading to economic challenges for consumers and other competitive trends that have impacted acquisition at retail locations, and the non-renewal of one of our retail partner programs as previously disclosed.

These factors had a corresponding impact on the amount of accountholder fee revenue we earn from accounts, including monthly maintenance fees, new card fees, ATM fees and interchange fees.

In our B2B Services segment, revenues increased by 41% during the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the prior year comparable period.

The increase was driven by strong year-over-year growth in our gross dollar volume, which increased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 49%, and to a lesser extent, increases in purchase volume and the number of active accounts by 7% and 10%, respectively.

In our B2B Services segment, revenues increased by 40% during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 over the prior year comparable periods.

The increase was driven by strong year-over-year growth in our gross dollar volume, which increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by 43% and 46%, respectively, and to a lesser extent, growth in purchase volume, which increased by 13% and 10%, respectively.

The number of active accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2024 also increased 21% over the prior year comparable period.

The growth in gross dollar volume was driven primarily by certain BaaS programs that do not generate interchange fees and resulted in a net increase in segment revenue due to higher program management service fees earned from these BaaS partners, partially offset by the non-renewals of certain other BaaS partners as previously disclosed.

Our Money Movement Services segment revenues increased by 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the prior year comparable period.

Despite a decrease in the number of tax refunds processed by 6% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, our tax processing revenues increased due to a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed and from the expansion of our taxpayer advance programs.

The decrease in the number of tax refunds processed is principally attributable to year-over-year timing of IRS refund volumes.

The increase in our Money Movement Services segment was partially offset by an 11% decrease in the number of cash transfers processed for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the prior year comparable period.

Our Money Movement Services segment revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by 6% and 5%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

The increase in our Money Movement Services segment was driven by an increase in our tax processing revenues.

The number of tax refunds processed during the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased over the prior year comparable period by 9% principally attributable to year-over-year timing of IRS refund volumes, while the number of tax refunds processed decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024 by 2%.

Despite the 2% decrease in the number of tax refunds processed during the first half of 2024, our tax processing revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed and from the expansion of our taxpayer advance programs.

The increase in our Money Movement Services segment was partially offset by a decrease in the number of cash transfers processed, which decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by 6% and 8%, respectively.

The Green Dot Network is a service provider to accountholders in both our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, as well as third-party programs.

The decrease in the number of cash transfers was due to a lower number of active accounts within our Consumer Services segment discussed above.

Net interest income earned by Green Dot Bank, a component of our Corporate and Other segment, increased by 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from the prior year comparable period.

The increase in net interest income was the result of higher yields on our cash balances driven by increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an increase in interest shared with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue).

Net interest income earned by Green Dot Bank, a component of our Corporate and Other segment, increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by 47% and 33%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

The increase in net interest income was the result of an increase in cash from deposit programs with our partners and higher yields earned driven by increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an increase in interest shared with certain BaaS partners (a reduction of revenue).

Total operating expenses

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $76.0 million, or 21%, over the prior year comparable period.

The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in processing expenses associated with the growth of certain BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment discussed above, partially offset by reductions in processor costs realized from the processor migration to our in-licensed card management platform.

Other general and administrative expenses also increased due to an increase in overall transaction losses attributable to an increase in the amount of customer dispute volume across our portfolios, expenses and impairment charges associated with the termination of our partnership agreement for our core banking system that is discussed directly below, and higher professional services fees related to our anti-money laundering ("AML"), including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures.

Additionally, in February 2024, we initiated a reduction in workforce that impacted approximately 10% of our global employees.

This strategic reduction in force is intended to improve our cost structure, streamline operations, and refocus resources on core strategic priorities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we elected to discontinue pursuing the development of a new core banking system with our service provider and mutually agreed to terminate our partnership agreement, resulting in a settlement payment of $5.5 million and impairment charges of $6.4 million related to internal-use software and other related assets previously recorded.

Each of these charges associated with the termination of this agreement are recorded as a component of other general and administrative expenses.

Increases in total operating expenses were partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses, principally due to decreases in sales commissions from lower revenues on products subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements, and lower compensation and benefits expenses, primarily due to lower salary and wages from the reduction in employee workforce we initiated in the beginning of the year as previously disclosed and lower third-party call center support costs, partially offset by severance benefits associated with the reduction in force.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $7.8 million, or 75%, from the prior year comparable period.

The decrease in our income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in our taxable income, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 34.8%, compared to 22.3% for the same period in the prior year.

The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to incremental taxes we incurred for the initiated surrender and restructuring of a portion of our existing bank owned life insurance policies and an increase in tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in state income taxes expense, net of federal benefits, the impact of general business credits, tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, and a reduction in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

Our total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $69.7 million, or 19% , and $145.7 million, or 20%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

The increase in our total

operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in processing expenses and other general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expenses and to a lesser extent, a decrease in compensation and benefits expenses.

The increase in our total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in processing expenses associated with the growth of certain BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment as discussed above, partially offset by reductions in processor costs realized from the processor migration to our in-licensed card management platform.

Other general and administrative expenses also increased during the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in our accrual related to the consent order we received from the Federal Reserve Board, as more fully discussed below, higher professional services fees related to our anti-money laundering ("AML"), including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures, and certain impairment charges of internal-use software no longer expected to be utilized.

These increases were partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses, principally due to decreases in sales commissions from lower revenues on products subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements, and lower compensation and benefits expenses, primarily due to lower salary and wages driven by the reduction in employee workforce we initiated in February 2024 as previously disclosed, and lower employee stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to a higher number of forfeited awards.

As previously disclosed, on July 19, 2024, we and our subsidiary bank received a consent order from the Federal Reserve Board relating principally to various aspects of compliance risk management, including consumer compliance and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.

Included in the consent order was a civil money penalty related to these issues in the amount of $44 million which was subsequently paid in July 2024.

We previously accrued an estimated liability of $20 million related to the consent order during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and the remaining portion was accrued during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For further discussion, see the headings " As a bank holding company, we are subject to extensive and potentially changing regulation and are required to serve as a source of strength for Green Dot Bank " and “ Litigation or investigations could result in significant settlements, sanctions, fines or penalties ” included as part of our risk factor disclosures in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors."

Our total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased over the prior year comparable period for the same reasons as discussed above.

In addition, other general and administrative expenses increased in the first half of 2024 due to an increase in overall transaction losses attributable to an increase in the amount of customer dispute volume across our portfolios, and the settlement payment and impairment charges related to internal-use software and other related assets associated with the termination of our partnership agreement to develop a new core banking system, as previously disclosed during the first quarter of 2024.

Our income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $2.5 million, or 143%, and $10.3 million, or 85% from the prior year comparable periods.

The decrease in our income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in our taxable income.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was a benefit of 8%, compared to 25% for the comparable prior year period.

The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in state income taxes expense, net of federal benefits, the impact of general business credits, tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, and a reduction in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

These decreases were partially offset by incremental taxes and surrender penalty we incurred for the initiated surrender and restructuring of a portion of our existing bank owned life insurance policies, an increase in tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation, and an increase in tax expense due to nondeductible expenses and penalties.

The increase in nondeductible expenses and penalties for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to the tax effect associated with the civil money penalty accrual for our consent order received from the Federal Reserve Board discussed above.

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") released model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations ("Pillar Two").

Certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation consistent with the OECD model rules effective beginning in 2024.

We are monitoring legislative developments and continuing to evaluate the potential impact of Pillar Two on our consolidated financial statements, but we do not expect that it will have a material impact on our results of operations in future periods.

We are monitoring legislative developments and continuing to evaluate the potential impact of Pillar Two on our consolidated financial statements, but do not expect it will have a material impact on our results of operations in future periods.

Outlook and Other Trends Affecting Our Business

Based on the overall macro-economic environment, the effect of high inflation and interest rates, our commitment to making growth-oriented investments and the timing of the related expense savings from our processor migration to our in-licensed card management platform, the previously-disclosed non-renewals in our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, our decision to wind-down many of our legacy accountholder programs in support of GO2bank, trends occurring within our retail channel in our Consumer Services segment, and our investments in our compliance programs, we have experienced declining trends in our consolidated operating results in recent periods.

processor migration to our in-licensed card management platform, the previously-disclosed non-renewals in our Consumer Services and B2B Services segments, our decision to wind-down many of our legacy accountholder programs in support of GO2bank, trends occurring within our retail channel in our Consumer Services segment, and our investments in our compliance programs, we have experienced declining trends in our consolidated operating results in recent periods.

However, we do not expect some of these trends or events to recur over the course of 2024, such as partner non-renewals and the discontinuation of certain legacy accountholder programs.

Based on our anticipated growth initiatives and cost reduction measures we have implemented, we expect our 2024 financial results will stabilize on a year-over-year basis.

After taking into consideration the one-time nature of our consent order accrual, we expect our results of operations will stabilize on a year-over-year basis over the second half of 2024 based on our anticipated growth initiatives and cost reduction measures we have implemented.

We intend to continue to make growth-oriented investments and incur other expenditures that we believe will benefit our long-term financial results.

Our growth-oriented investments are focused on, among other things, cost-effectively re-engaging in strategic marketing initiatives in support of our GO2bank product and other initiatives across our account programs with the objective of returning to active account growth.

We expect the previously-disclosed non-renewals in our Consumer Services and B2B Service segments and our decision to wind-down many of our legacy accountholder programs in support of GO2bank will continue to impact our year-over-year growth rates in the first half of 2024.

We have begun to see reductions in our processing expenses from our processor conversion and expect the implementation of our card management platform will allow us to continue to realize reductions in our processing expenses during the remainder of 2024.

We have seen reductions in our processing expenses from our processor conversion and expect the implementation of our card management platform will allow us to continue to realize reductions in our processing expenses during the remainder of 2024.

We also expect the reduction in workforce to improve our cost structure during the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

We expect these cost reduction initiatives to be partially offset by increases in other areas, as we will continue to invest in and incur additional expenses in connection with our AML program, including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures, which we believe will ultimately help us to continue to remediate regulatory matters disclosed previously and mitigate and reduce our fraud losses over the long term.

As previously disclosed, we and our subsidiary bank received a proposed consent order from the Federal Reserve Board relating principally to various aspects of compliance risk management, including consumer compliance and compliance with AML regulations.

The matters addressed in the proposed consent order relate to activities and practices that commenced prior to our CEO transition in 2020.

Included in the proposed consent order are proposals for civil money penalties related to these issues.

While we are still in discussions with the Federal Reserve Board regarding these proposals, we accrued an estimated liability of $20 million related to the proposed consent order during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

We believe the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses (meaning the likelihood of losses is more than remote but less than likely), is up to $50 million as of March 31, 2024.

This estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information for those proceedings in which we are involved and considers our best estimate of such losses for those matters for which an estimate can be made.

However, there can be no assurance that our accrual is sufficient or that losses from the proposed consent order will not exceed the estimated range.

During 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to raise rates by an additional 100 basis points, which further contributed to a market slowdown.

While the general market consensus is that interest rates will gradually decrease by the end of 2024, there remains a possibility that an elevated interest rate environment may persist for the foreseeable future.

During 2023, the Federal Reserve raised rates by an additional 100 basis points and we remain in an elevated interest rate environment, although, the general market consensus is that interest rates will begin gradually decreasing by the end of 2024.

The Federal Reserve's decision-making policies for short-term interest rates will continue to impact the amount of net interest income we earn in the future.

Card Revenues and Other Fees — Card revenues and other fees totaled $286.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $44.0 million, or 18%, from the comparable prior year period.

Card revenues and other fees increased primarily due to growth in gross dollar volume in our B2B Services segment programs, which resulted in higher program management service fees earned from our BaaS partners.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in accountholder fees, such as monthly maintenance fees, ATM fees and new card fees for the reasons discussed above in "Overview."

Cash Processing Revenues — Cash processing revenues totaled $106.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $5.0 million, or 5%, from the comparable prior year period.

While the number of tax refunds processed decreased by 6% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, our tax processing revenues increased due to a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed and from the expansion of our taxpayer advance programs.

The decrease in the number of tax refunds processed is principally attributable to year-over-year timing of IRS refund volumes.

Sales and Marketing Expenses — Sales and marketing expenses totaled $62.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 17%, from the comparable prior year period.

This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in sales commissions due to lower revenues generated from certain products that are subject to tiered revenue-sharing agreements and, to a lesser extent, lower supply chain expenses, which consists of debit card plastics and related materials, as a result of a lower number of active accounts for the comparable periods and the non-renewal of certain partner programs as previously disclosed.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses — Compensation and benefits expenses totaled $66.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 3%, from the comparable prior year period.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses — Compensation and benefits expenses totaled $61.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 6%, from the comparable prior year period.

The decrease was driven primarily by lower salary and wages as a result of our reduction in employee workforce that we initiated in February 2024 as previously disclosed and lower employee stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to a higher number of forfeited awards versus the prior year comparable period.

Processing Expenses — Processing expenses totaled $207.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $54.8 million, or 36%, from the comparable prior year period.

This increase was principally due to growth in certain BaaS account programs within our B2B Services segment, partially offset by reductions in processor costs realized from the processor migration to our in-licensed card management platform.

Other General and Administrative Expenses — Other general and administrative expenses totaled $116.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $40.3 million, or 53%, from the comparable prior year period.

This increase was driven primarily by an increase in overall transaction losses attributable to an increase in the amount of customer dispute volume across our portfolios, expenses and other write-offs associated with our election to terminate our partnership agreement for our core banking system discussed above in "Overview," and higher professional services fees related to our AML program, including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures.

Other General and Administrative Expenses — Other general and administrative expenses totaled $108.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $28.4 million, or 35%, from the comparable prior year period.

This increase was primarily due to an increase in our accrual related to the consent order we received from the Federal Reserve Board discussed above in "Overview" and higher professional services fees related to our AML program, including improvements to our compliance controls, policies and procedures, and certain impairment charges of internal-use software no longer expected to be utilized.

Our income tax benefit totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $1.7 million income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $2.5 million, or 143%, from the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a decrease in our taxable income.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in state income tax expense, net of federal benefits, the impact of general business credits, tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, and a reduction in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the IRC Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

These decreases in our effective tax rate were partially offset by increases in tax expense associated with shortfalls from stock-based compensation and tax expense due to nondeductible expenses and penalties.

The increase in nondeductible expenses and penalties for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to the tax effect associated with the civil money penalty accrual for our consent order received from the Federal Reserve Board discussed in "Overview."

The "Other" category in our effective tax rate consists of a variety of permanent differences, none of which were individually significant.

Card Revenues and Other Fees — Card revenues and other fees totaled $567.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $85.6 million, or 18%, from the comparable prior year period.

This increase was driven principally by the same factors discussed above under “Comparison of Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023—Operating Revenues—Card Revenues and Other Fees."

Cash Processing Revenues — Cash processing revenues totaled $163.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $7.9 million, or 5%, from the comparable prior year period.

While the number of tax refunds processed decreased by 2% during the six months ended June 30, 2024, our tax processing revenues increased due to a favorable mix-shift in the distribution channel in which the tax refund was processed and from the expansion of our taxpayer advance programs.

This increase was partially offset by an 8% decline in the number of cash transfers processed during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a lower number of active accounts within our Consumer Services segment, as discussed above in "Overview."

Interchange Revenues — Interchange revenues totaled $100.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $23.4 million, or 19%, from the comparable prior year period.

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in purchase volume and effective interchange rate earned as discussed under “Comparison of Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023—Operating Revenues—Interchange Revenues."

Interest Income, net — Net interest income totaled $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $6.8 million, or 33%, from the comparable prior year period.

This increase was driven by increases in short-term interest rates for the comparable period, as discussed under “Comparison of Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023—Operating Revenues—Interest Income, net."

The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from the prior year comparable period was primarily due to an increase in shortfalls from stock-based compensation which increased tax expense by $0.2 million and due to the initiated surrender and restructuring of a portion of our existing bank owned life insurance policies, which resulted in a tax charge of $0.5 million and a surrender penalty of $0.2 million.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in state income tax expense, net of federal benefits, the impact of general business credits, tax benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, and a reduction in the amount of compensation expense that was subject to the IRC Section 162(m) limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

Our income tax expense totaled $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $12.1 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $10.3 million, or 85%, from the prior year comparable period, primarily due to a decrease in our taxable income.
