Dave Inc. Expands Share Repurchase Authorization to $125 Million Following Strong Buyback Activity

Los Angeles, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dave Inc. ("Dave" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DAVE) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in the Company's share repurchase authorization to $125 million, which replaces the previous $50 million authorization announced on March 10, 2025.

Since Dave reported its second quarter earnings on August 6th, the Company has deployed approximately $25 million to repurchase its common stock. Year-to-date, Dave has invested more than $45 million through share repurchases and RSU net settlements, executed at accretive levels, to reduce its share count.

"Our recent share purchases and increased repurchase authorization reflect the confidence we have in our positive outlook and the proven durability of our business model," said Kyle Beilman, COO and CFO of Dave. "With a solid balance sheet, a strong outlook for free cash flow generation, and compelling growth opportunities ahead, we are well-positioned to deliver attractive returns to shareholders while continuing to invest in our long-term strategic priorities."

The Company believes that the upsized authorization under its new repurchase program and the recent buyback activity underscore the Company's commitment to disciplined capital allocation. Dave intends to continue executing repurchases opportunistically, subject to market conditions and other factors.

Under the authorization, the Company may repurchase shares through a variety of methods, including open market transactions and privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable laws and regulations. The timing, manner, and total amount of repurchases will be determined by management based on market conditions, stock price, business performance, and alternative investment opportunities.

The repurchase program does not obligate Dave to acquire any specific number of shares, and it may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion.
