Q & A Highlights
Q: How does the guidance for fiscal '26 reflect MoneyLion's growth, and what visibility do you have in that segment compared to your Cyber Safety platform? A: Vincent Pilette, CEO: The guidance is based on our Cyber Safety platform's mid-single-digit growth potential, with MoneyLion having grown around 24-25% last year. We closed the MoneyLion acquisition at the end of April, so it won't contribute a full year. We're focusing on cross-selling into our installed base and transitioning MoneyLion from a transactional to a subscription business, which informs our 6% to 8% pro forma growth guidance.
