Exhibit 10.1
Amendment No. 3 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement

This Amendment No. 3 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 30, 2025 by and among Sezzle Funding SPE II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as borrower (the “Borrower”), Bastion Funding VI LP, (“Bastion”) as lender (the “Lender”) and Bastion, as administrative agent for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement referenced below) (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).
Recitals
Whereas, the Borrower has entered into that certain Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2024, by and among the Borrower, the Lender and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”); and
Whereas, in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Borrower has requested, and the Lender and the Administrative Agent have agreed to, modify certain provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Agreement
1.Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan and Security Agreement.
2.Amendments.
(a)The defined term “Committed Amount” in Section 1.01 is hereby amended and restated to read:
“Committed Amount” means $225,000,000.
(b)Schedule 1 is hereby amended by replacing “$150,000,000” in the “Committed Facility Amount” column with “$225,000,000”.
(c)Section 2.06(a) and (b) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“(a) If the Borrower prepays any outstanding Advances in whole or in part the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit and account of each Lender, as a make whole to Lenders (A) additional interest equal to the product of: (1) the then existing Interest Rate divided by TWELVE (12); (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Advances being prepaid; and (3) the number of full months from the date of such prepayment until the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) to the extent such prepayment is on or after October 30, 2025 and prior to March 31, 2026, an amount equal to 2.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances being prepaid and (C) to the extent such prepayment is on or after March 31, 2026 and prior to June 30, 2026, an amount equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances being prepaid ((A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “Termination Payment”).


Exhibit 10.1
The Termination Payment shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Termination Payment set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) shall be due and payable by the Borrower if the Borrower prepays Advances on or after the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date and no such Termination Payment set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (B) and (C) shall be due and payable by the Borrower if the Borrower prepays Advances on or after March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively.
(b)    In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any prepayment of Advances, in whole or in part, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders, the Termination Payment constitutes liquidated damages which shall be due and payable upon such prepayment. The Borrower hereby waives any defense to payment other than payment on performance, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Termination Payment due and payable hereunder shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 502(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation.”
(d)Section 2.16 Additional Funding is hereby deleted.
3.Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each of the Secured Parties that:
(a)the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan and Security Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which is true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of any representation and warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which is true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date;
(b)after giving effect to this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
2


Exhibit 10.1
(c)the Borrower has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(d)no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the Borrower of this Agreement; and
(e)this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
4.Effect on the Facility Documents and Ratification. (a) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Loan and Security Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties. Each of the Lender and Administrative Agent reserves all rights, privileges and remedies under the Facility Documents. The amendments contained herein do not and shall not create (nor shall the Borrower rely upon the existence of or claim or assert that there exists) any obligation of the Lender or Administrative Agent to consider or agree to any further amendment and, in the event the Lender or Administrative Agent subsequently agrees to consider any further amendments, neither the amendments contained herein nor any other conduct of the Lender or Administrative Agent shall be of any force or effect on its respective consideration or decision with respect to any such requested amendment and the Lender and Administrative Agent shall not have any further obligation whatsoever to consider or agree to any further amendment or other agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement, as hereby amended, is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect. All references in the Facility Documents to the Loan and Security Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Loan and Security Agreement as modified hereby. This Agreement shall constitute a Facility Document.
(f)The relationship of the Lender and the Borrower has been and shall continue to be, at all times, that of creditor and debtor and not as joint venturers or partners. Nothing contained in this Agreement, any instrument, document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or in the Loan and Security Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a fiduciary relationship between or among the parties.
5.No Novation. This Agreement is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Loan and Security Agreement or any other Facility Document or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.
6.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of Required Lenders).

Sezzle Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

•Quarterly GMV rose 58.7% YoY exceeding $1 Billion for the first time
•Total Revenue increased 67.0% YoY reaching a new quarterly high
•Net Income Per Diluted Share in the quarter grew 70.5% YoY to $0.75; Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share climbed 51.1% YoY to $0.71
•For FY2025, Sezzle is raising guidance for Net Income Per Diluted Share, Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share, and Adjusted EBITDA
•Introducing FY2026 Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share guidance of $4.35

Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL) (Sezzle or Company) // Purpose-driven digital payment platform, Sezzle, is pleased to update the market on key financial metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“Our products continue to resonate with consumers, as we’re seeing clear momentum in both engagement and scale,” noted Charlie Youakim, Sezzle Executive Chairman and CEO. “It’s exciting to cross $1 billion in quarterly GMV for the first time, which reflects a growing loyal consumer base. We’re sharpening our focus on proven results and long-term innovation, and we're looking forward to supporting shoppers with our tools this holiday season.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
•Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) climbed 58.7% YoY to a new quarterly high of $1.0 billion in 3Q25. The increase in GMV was driven by greater usage of our subscription products and On-Demand; our focus on consumer acquisition, engagement, and retention through marketing and advertising initiatives; as well as changes in consumer underwriting. For example, overall consumer purchase frequency rose to 6.5x in 3Q25 from 5.4x in the prior comparable period.
•These factors also drove Total Revenue up 67.0% YoY to a new quarterly high of $116.8 million, representing 11.2% of GMV.
•Sezzle added an incremental 36,000 Monthly On-Demand & Subscribers (MODS) during the quarter, bringing the total to 784,000 (rounded to the nearest thousand). The increase was largely driven by subscriber (Premium and Anywhere) growth versus On-Demand, as the Company’s marketing and advertising efforts emphasized subscription over On-Demand. On-Demand remains an important growth driver, but the Company’s subscription products have greater lifetime values because of greater retention, purchase activity, and payment performance.

•Total Operating Expenses increased 65.4% YoY to $81.2 million. Despite higher expenses, Operating Expenses fell 0.6 percentage point to 69.6% of Total Revenue and rose 0.4 percentage point to 7.8% of GMV.
•Transaction Related Costs1 expanded 70.0% YoY to $53.5 million, representing 5.1% of GMV versus 4.8% in the same period last year. The jump reflects a higher provision for credit losses, which remains on track with FY2025 guidance (now expecting 2.5%-2.75% of GMV versus previous guidance of 2.5%-3.0%) and aligns with the Company’s growth-focused underwriting strategy to promote consumer acquisition and retention.
•Operating Income rose 70.6% YoY to $35.6 million, and Operating Margin increased 0.6 percentage point to 30.4% of Total Revenue and 0.2 percentage point to 3.4% of GMV.
•Total Revenue Less Transaction Related Costs1 improved 64.5% YoY to $63.3 million, equal to 6.0% of GMV, up 0.2 percentage point YoY. As a share of Total Revenue, the metric declined 0.8 percentage point YoY to 54.2%.
•Non-Transaction Related Operating Expenses1 grew 50.9% YoY to $31.6 million in 3Q25. Higher marketing and advertising spend drove most of the increase ($8.8 million versus $2.7 million in 3Q24). However, the metric as a share of Total Revenue decreased by 2.9 percentage points YoY to 27.1%, highlighting the Company’s commitment to maintaining cost discipline and further leveraging its cost structure.
oNon-Transaction Related Operating Expenses and Total Operating Expenses includes $1.3 million in Corporate Strategic Project Costs for professional services tied to capital markets activities, the Company’s antitrust suit, and the exploration of pursuing a bank charter.
•Net Income jumped 72.7% YoY to $26.7 million, representing a 0.7 percentage point margin expansion to 22.8% of Total Revenue. Following a similar trend, Earnings per Diluted Share increased 70.5% to $0.75 from $0.44.
oAdjusted Net Income1 reached $25.4 million, up 52.6% YoY and equal to 21.8% of Total Revenue. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share2 rose 51.1% YoY to $0.71 from $0.47 in 3Q24.

•Growing 74.6% YoY, Adjusted EBITDA3 reached $39.6 million in 3Q25, accounting for 33.9% of Total Revenue and reflecting a 1.5 percentage point margin expansion versus 3Q24.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
•As of September 30, 2025, Sezzle had $134.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $30.5 million of which was restricted.
•The Company had an outstanding principal balance of $118.0 million on its $150.0 million credit facility as of quarter end.

Investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when we establish reserves for one or more contingencies. Also, our regular reserve reviews may result in adjustments of varying magnitude as additional information regarding claims activity becomes known. Reported results, therefore, may be volatile in certain accounting periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our operating results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Total revenue less transaction related costs; transaction related costs; non-transaction related operating expenses; adjusted net income; adjusted net income margin; adjusted net income per diluted share; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and summaries of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to the Company and investors are as follows:
•Total revenue less transaction related costs is defined as GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs. Transaction related costs is the sum of GAAP transaction expense, provision for credit losses, and net interest expense less certain non-recurring charges as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP total revenue less transaction related costs above. We believe that total revenue less transaction related costs is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating the economic value of orders processed on the Sezzle Platform.
•Non-transaction related operating expenses is defined as the sum of GAAP personnel; third-party technology and data; marketing, advertising, and tradeshows; and general and administrative operating expenses. We believe that non-transaction related operating expenses is a useful financial measure to both management and investors for evaluating our management of operating expenses not directly attributable to orders processed on the Sezzle Platform.
•Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain charges including depreciation, amortization, equity and incentive–based compensation, corporate strategic project costs, and merger-related costs, as well as net interest expense as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business’ unit economics by removing the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as well as funding costs, that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business.

•Adjusted net income is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted for certain charges including discrete tax items, fair value adjustments on warrants, losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, corporate strategic project costs, and other income and expense, as detailed in the reconciliation table of GAAP net income to adjusted net income. We believe that this financial measure is useful for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
•Adjusted net income margin is defined as Adjusted net income divided by GAAP total revenue. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of our business by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.
•Adjusted net income per diluted share is defined as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We believe that this financial measure is a useful measure for period-to-period comparison of shareholder return by removing the effect of certain charges that, in management's view, does not correlate to the underlying performance of our business during a given period.

Additionally, we have included these non-GAAP measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, guide future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of resources. Therefore, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and other users of this press release to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered supplemental in nature, and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:

•Total revenue less transaction-related costs is not intended to be measures of operating profit or cash flow profitability as they exclude key operating expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
•Transaction related costs exclude significant expenses such as personnel, general and administrative, and third-party technology and data, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.
•Non-transaction related operating expenses exclude significant expenses, including transaction expense and provision for credit losses, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring GAAP expenses.


Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL) | sezzle.com | 700 Nicollet Mall, Suite 640, Minneapolis, MN 55402

group1534.jpg
•Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude certain charges such as depreciation, amortization, and equity and incentive–based compensation, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, recurring GAAP expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant cash inflows and outflows, which have a significant impact on our working capital and cash.
•Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin excludes net interest expense, which has a significant impact on our GAAP net income, working capital, and cash.
•Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted net income per diluted share excludes certain charges such as losses on the extinguishment of our lines of credit, fair value adjustments on our warrants, other income and expense, and discrete tax items which have been, and may be in the future, recurring GAAP expenses. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant cash inflows and outflows, which have a significant impact on our working capital and cash.
•Long-lived assets being depreciated or amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect the capital expenditures needed for such replacements, or for any new capital expenditures or commitments.
•These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
•Non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP, and these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. We encourage you to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
