Hello, everyone. And thank you for joining Bakkt's Third Quarter 2025 earnings call. Before we get started, I'd like to remind everyone that during today's call, we may make certain forward-looking statements.

And I will now turn the call over to Akshay.

Akshay Naheta Executive

Thank you, everyone. Thank you for joining the call. Today, our focus is around one clear mission to power the next generation of global finance. That clarity of purpose matters. It allows us to align our people, sharpen our strategy and channel our resources with conviction towards the future we see emerging.

Across the world, individuals and institutions are reevaluating what money really is, how it moves and how markets operate. We believe this shift will define the next era of global finance, and we see it unfolding across 3 major fronts. First, Bitcoins continue to rise as a globally recognized digital store of value, the new foundation for trust and savings. Second, the rapid transformation of banking and payments accelerated by AI and stablecoins, which are reshaping how value flows through the economy. And third, the tokenization of real-world assets, redefining how everything from bonds to commodities to property is traded and settled in the future.

Bakkt stands at the center of this evolution, building the compliance, secure and scalable infrastructure that enables these systems to connect and grow. Our vision is simple, yet bold, to be the trusted bridge between the physical and digital world of finance, enabling seamless value transfer as society accelerates into an AI-driven economy. If we take a step back, it's clear the evolution of global finance is already underway, and the scale of opportunity is extraordinary. Out of an estimated $700 trillion in global assets, only a small fraction currently live on blockchain rails. That's rapidly changing as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly integrated into traditional systems.

2/15

------

Bitcoin continues to gain acceptance as a credible treasury asset among corporates, sovereigns and institutions. Stablecoins, meanwhile, now settle over $30 trillion annually surpassing Visa and new policy frameworks such as the U.S. Genius Act, are establishing clear regulatory guardrails that legitimize this market. At the same time, tokenization is moving from pilots to production. Financial institutions are beginning to issue and settle assets on programmable rails with BCG forecasting nearly $19 trillion in tokenized value by 2033.

The takeaway, the total addressable market for digital asset infrastructure is enormous, and we are still in the very early innings. Bakkt is positioning itself at the center of this transformation with a regulated rails custody and settlement layer that will power this ecosystem. We are aligning our capital talent and road map to deliver tangible outcomes shaped by these powerful global trends. This quarter represents an important milestone in Bakkt's journey.

[PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CONTENT INTENTIONALLY OMITTED FOR PURPOSES OF FURNISHING THIS EXHIBIT PURSUANT TO ITEM 2.02 OF FORM 8-K.]

On the balance sheet, we closed the quarter with approximately $64 million in cash and restricted cash and no debt, reflecting disciplined execution and a significantly strengthened financial foundation.

While I'm pleased with these results, I want to be absolutely clear, this is just the beginning. The heavy lifting of our transformation is largely behind us, and I expect to complete the process by the end of Q4 as the elements of our restructuring, product launches, distribution partnership and cost initiatives all start coming together. This quarter also affirms the strength of our Bakkt Global business model, a framework built for durability and scale. It validates the structural and strategic changes we made are already translating into tangible performance. And as we look ahead, I'll walk you through the decisive actions we've taken since I became CEO, what remains in our road map and how Bakkt is uniquely positioned to power the structural rearchitecture of global finance.

When I stepped in as CEO following the Cooperation Agreement with DTR, Bakkt was spread too thin, a collection of disconnected initiatives burdened by noncore assets and inefficient cost structure and a lack of strategic focus that had built up over years of missteps. We acted with immense urgency. Over the past 2.5 quarters, we've executed a disciplined and deliberate transformation, one that touched every part of the business. We exited noncore operations, reconstituted the Board, streamlined our organization and refocused entirely around one mission, building a leading regulated digital asset infrastructure platform. We rebuilt Bakkt from the ground up, simplifying our technology stack, reducing external dependencies and attracting top-tier talent to lead our 3 core verticals.

3/15

------

Bakkt Markets, Bakkt Agent and Bakkt Global, which I'll discuss shortly. We also strengthened governance and leadership. Phillip Lord, our President of International, is driving our expansion across Japan, Korea and India, connecting us to some of the world's most dynamic capital markets. Ankit Khemka, our Chief Product Officer, who was the former Head of Growth at Revolut is accelerating innovation and integration across our products primarily on the stablecoin front. At the Board level, we previously welcomed Mike Alfred and Lyn Alden, and today, I'm very pleased to welcome Richard Galvin, 3 deeply independent thinkers and accomplished entrepreneurs.

These are not professional "directors" collecting fees. Each conducted their own diligence, challenged our assumptions and joined the Board after gaining conviction in our vision, our road map and the integrity of our transformation. That engagement brings institutional discipline and intellectual rigor to Bakkt's covenants, not box sticky. We eliminated structural overhangs, significantly reduced costs and strengthened our balance sheet. Today, every dollar we spend is driving monetization through trading spreads, custody fees, stablecoin flows and recurring revenues.

This has not just been a cleanup exercise but instead a full-scale reboot of the company that is now ready for the exciting disruption currently underway for the next few decades of finance. And we did it at what many would consider lightning speed. As we approach the end of Q4, our transformation enters its final phase. From here the focus shifts from transformation to acceleration, integrating our platforms, expanding our regulated custody and advancing strategic partnerships across markets and stablecoin infrastructure. A key milestone this quarter was the simplification of our capital structure.

In Q3, we announced, and on November 3 close, the collapse of our Up-C structure, eliminating the dual-class share system that dates back to our deSPAC in 2021. That structure serves its purpose early on, but over time, it's become a total drag. It added complexity, reduced liquidity and created friction for institutional investors. With the Up-C collapse complete, Bakkt now operates as one company, one cap table, one mission. Shareholders, management and employees are now aligned under a single corporate entity, a major step forward in transparency, governance and shareholder alignment.

We also strengthened our balance sheet. Between Q2 and Q3, we raised roughly $100 million in new capital and eliminated all outstanding debt giving Bakkt a cleaner, stronger financial foundation. We carry more than $120 million of tax loss carryforwards, a valuable asset that will offset future taxable income as profitability scale. To underscore my own conviction, I personally invested about $1.5 million in Bakkt shares in August through open market purchases. And as of October 31, shareholders have authorized me to purchase up to 13.4 million more stock through an option plan.

4/15

------

I view this not as a signal, but as a statement of belief. I'm fully aligned with our shareholders for the long term. And let me make one point very clear, Bakkt is not in the business of perpetual equity issuance. We are not "a digital asset treasury vehicle" chasing exposure through dilution. We've turned the corner financially, debt-free, disciplined and focused.

Any future capital raising will be done strategically, selectively and with a deep respect for shareholder value. This new structure and capital position gives us the flexibility to pursue opportunities, but always with the discipline and alignment that shareholders expect and that I personally demand. With our foundation reset and capital structure simplified, we are now focused on what defines Bakkt our 3 growth engines: Markets, Agent and Global. Bakkt markets is the foundation. It provides institutional-grade infrastructure for digital assets, connecting clients to liquidity, market-making and regulated custody through our nationwide money transmission licenses and New York BIT license.

This is how institutions trade on Bakkt, compliant, efficient and secure. Bakkt Agent is how money moves. It's our programmable finance platform, combining stablecoins, AI agents and cross-border payments into one seamless system, making sending, spending, saving and transacting as easy as messaging. This positions Bakkt at the heart of the stablecoin adoption wave and global remittance demand. Bakkt Global takes our technology into new jurisdictions through a minority investment model designed to generate investment gains and our long-term recurring revenue.

We started in Japan where early progress in validating the model, and we'll share more updates as it scales in the quarters ahead. Together, these businesses form a unified regulated digital asset company, connecting how markets trade, how money moves and how value is stored. Let's start with Bakkt Markets, our core business, the engine of our infrastructure and the foundation of how modern digital markets will eventually trade in my opinion. This division is primarily U.S.-based and built around a simple but powerful flywheel, market infrastructure, balance sheet strength and regulatory licensing, each reinforcing the other as volumes grow and liquidity deepens. Our regulated core is anchored by MTL licenses across the U.S. and our New York BIT license. It's designed for institutional-grade performance, offering deep liquidity, stablecoin on and off ramps, OTC trading and secure custody through the new partnership of Bakkt ICE Storage with Intercontinental Exchange scheduled to launch in Q1 2026. We are also expanding through Bakkt FX and evolution of our brokerage-in-a-box business. It provides a single point of access for B2B2C clients to route, trade, settle and custody assets, serving exchanges, fintechs and brokers that want to operate compliantly in the U.S. without building the regulatory stack themselves.

5/15

------

Together, these elements make Bakkt Markets, the engine room of our platform compliant, connected and built to scale.

Next, Bakkt Agent is how money moves seamlessly, intelligently and globally. Stablecoins have become one of the most disruptive forces in modern finance. They're reshaping how money is stored, sent and earned at a fraction of the cost of legacy rails. Bakkt Agent is our response, a programmable finance platform operating behind the scenes as the AI-driven architecture powering the next wave of digital banking. Under the hood, Bakkt Agent is an AI-first modular stack, built from the ground up.

Multiple AI agents coordinate workflows across payments, compliance and treasury, integrating with partner banks, card networks and payment providers worldwide. The result is a white label customizable foundation that allows any partner to launch a neobank grade experience quickly and compliantly. Rather than building a direct-to-consumer business, our model is distribution partnerships driven and asset-light. Partners embed Bakkt Agent into their products, leveraging our licensing coverage, global partnerships and modern APIs without the heavy integration costs. Through our conversational interface, Zaira we are starting with cross-border remittances, a nearly $850 billion market, where consumers still pay up to 7% fees.

Bakkt Agent enables faster, cheaper and more intuitive transfers built for scale. At its core, Bakkt Agent is the programmable financial stack unifying global money movement, rewards and AI-driven finance into one seamless platform. We expect to announce significant distribution partnerships in the near term as we move to a scale rollout in the quarters ahead. Bakkt Global is where our infrastructure model meets international scale, enabling entry into high-value markets while compounding long-term shareholder value. At its core, Bakkt Global may give our shareholders look through exposure to Bitcoin through publicly listed entities and select jurisdictions if those entities decide to pursue a strategy to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet.

When these entities deploy capital into Bitcoin, Bakkt earns recurring custody and management fees by being the lowest cost regulated provider to these entities, while our shareholders indirectly participate in Bitcoin upside. Each of these entities will maintain independent governance and boards to ensure transparency and credibility. Our first investment is already underway in Japan for which the EGM is set for November 11 and where we expect the company, Bitcoin Japan Corporation, to outline its strategy. This model deliberately extends our markets and agent infrastructure globally, enabling us to own minority stakes in high-potential jurisdictions, expand our footprint, compound fee income and generate recurring revenue, all while maintaining discipline on capital intensity. As we look ahead for 2026 KPIs, I want to provide a clear view of how Bakkt makes money going forward ahead of the Investor Day scheduled for some time in Q1 2026.

6/15

------

Together, these form a resilient multilayered revenue engine where Markets provides liquidity, Agent drives stablecoin and payment flows and Global expands our reach into new jurisdictions that can amplify both. As we look across our milestones for the fourth quarter, our goals are clear: Bakkt aims to complete its transformation while strengthening the core engine that will position us to drive growth in 2026. Everything we've done, the operational reset, technology upgrades and cost optimization moves in one direction towards a leaner, faster and more disciplined platform built for scale and sustained profitability for which we've already seen the green shoots in this quarter's results. At the same time, we're expanding our reach across all 3 growth engines. In Markets, we are driving customer growth, completing key technology upgrades that will enhance liquidity and trading performance.

For Bakkt Agent, we are opening new distribution corridors and advancing partnerships that will expand our stablecoin and cross-border flows and through Bakkt Global, we are extending our infrastructure into additional jurisdictions beyond Japan continuing to do so in a capital-light disciplined manner. We are also staying focused on the foundation, continuing to fine-tune our cost base, bringing in exceptional talent and rolling out the refreshed brand and website much needed that will reflect who we are today. As we released our 2026 KPIs and prepare for our to-be-announced Investor Day in Q1, shareholders will have a clear line of sight into how all these pieces come together into one cohesive strategy. And if we keep with the baseball analogy, I've been using on X recently, it feels like we are at the top of the ninth. The transformation innings are nearly behind us.

Now it's about execution, closing out the quarter cleanly, staying focused and finishing strong. By December 31, I'm feeling quite confident sitting here that we'll be able to look back and call this turnaround complete at that time. With that, I'd like to hand over the call to Karen Alexander, our CFO, for a deeper dive into the financials. Karen?

Karen Alexander Executive

Thank you, Akshay. Before I get into the numbers, I want to acknowledge that this quarter still reflects some residual impact from our Loyalty business, which remains part of our results through year-end 2025. This means you'll continue to see some accounting noise as we report both continuing and discontinued operations. While this may make the GAAP figures appear uneven, the underlying economics of our core digital asset business are much clearer when you look at our adjusted metrics. As a reminder, beginning in Q1 2026, once Loyalty is fully behind us, our financial reporting will be clean and directly aligned with the diversified revenue model, Akshay, outlined earlier.

For the quarter, total GAAP revenue was $402 million, up 27% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher crypto trading activities. Crypto costs and execution clearing and brokerage fees increased proportionately consistent with volume growth. Operating expenses, excluding those costs, were roughly flat at $26.7 million, reflecting lower compensation and SG&A following restructuring initiatives. Excluding about $5 million of nonrecurring restructuring charges, operating expenses would have declined by over 18% year-over-year, demonstrating continued cost discipline.

[PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CONTENT INTENTIONALLY OMITTED FOR PURPOSES OF FURNISHING THIS EXHIBIT PURSUANT TO ITEM 2.02 OF FORM 8-K.]

These measures better represent the earnings power of our digital asset infrastructure platform. They exclude discontinued operations and onetime noncash items, such as fair value changes and warrants, allowing investors to see the true progress of our core business. We expect the remaining transition noise to taper through year-end by Q1 2026, Bakkt's financials will be — will fully reflect the leaner, more focused company we've rebuilt with clear visibility into sustainable growth and profitability. Turning to the balance sheet.

We ended the quarter with $64 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and importantly, no long-term debt. As we complete our transformation, this balance sheet reflects a disciplined financial foundation, strong liquidity, no structural overhangs and sufficient flexibility to support both near-term commitments and future growth. We expect to use a portion of this cash in the fourth quarter to close the Loyalty divestiture and fund working capital, as we complete the transition to a pure-play digital asset platform. In our financial statements this quarter, you'll also notice the inclusion of current and noncurrent assets held for sale, which represents the Loyalty business and associated balances. Upon closing, these will roll off the balance sheet, leaving behind a streamlined digital asset infrastructure company that clearly reflects the economics of our continuing operations.

8/15

------

Our focus remains on maintaining a resilient and efficient balance sheet, ensuring that we have the liquidity and flexibility to execute on our road map, pursue strategic opportunities responsibly and continue delivering long-term value for shareholders. With that, I'll hand it back to Akshay for closing remarks.

Akshay Naheta Executive

Thank you, Karen. To reiterate, this quarter marks another important step forward in Bakkt's transformation. As we move through the fourth quarter, you'll begin to see the changing of the guard, a new Bakkt taking shape. What's emerging reflects the culmination of a year of tough decisions, disciplined execution and the establishment of a foundation built for scale and long-term profitability. The heavy lifting is largely behind us, and the momentum heading into 2026 is not just exciting, it's real.

The structure is now in place. The strategy is clear and the alignment across our people, partners and shareholders has never been stronger. Over the coming weeks, we'll work to finalize the remaining elements of this transformation. And by the time we speak again, I'm confident Bakkt will have completed its restructuring phase and will be operating with a clear line of sight to sustain profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. To our partners, our customers and especially our shareholders, thank you for your continued trust, patience and belief in what we are building.

That concludes our third quarter 2025 earnings call. I'll hand it back to the operator.

Operator Operator

[Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Chris Brendler from Rosenblatt Securities.

Chris Brendler Analyst

Congrats on the progress here. I'd just like to think about the business as it stands today? And maybe, Akshay, if you could sort of give us a little more insight on to the core offerings on the sort of the brokerage side? And how that might compare to Bakkt Zero Hash is offering? I think that's been a pretty major transaction in the space.

9/15

------

And it feels like they're kind of similar to what Bakkt is doing, but I feel like I'm not quite sure where all the dots connect and how this sort of fits from a competitive standpoint. So maybe you could help me with that sort of area of questioning sort of how is Bakkt compared to Zero Hash?

Akshay Naheta Executive

Sure. Look, I think as far as Bakkt and Zero Hash, the direct comparison is concerned, I think we're both looking at being the picks and shovels layer, the regulated infrastructure that lets the ecosystem operate securely and at scale. I think there are lots of similarities and comparisons on that front. And as you can see, I think there is a lot of talk around stablecoins and the new payment rails these days. And so from my perspective, when I look at everything that's happening in the space from the recent M&A activity, whether it's Zero Hash and others as well as private market valuations in the space, you can really draw your own conclusions in terms of what their value is relative to Bakkt, et cetera.

But I think that, look, we bring a pretty similar product suite just on the Bakkt Markets business relative to Zero Hash, except that we are doing this in a public setting where we plan on doing it without any heavy burn and not chasing top line volume and revenue growth, which is not profitable and doing it in a disciplined manner. So that's my perspective on this from what I know.

Chris Brendler Analyst

Okay. Great. Very exciting. Towards the back of the slides on your milestones. #9 is release KPIs for 2026.

I'm not looking for a sneak preview of what your targets are. But what are the key KPIs? If you can talk about them at this point, just sort of what should we be following here to monitor the progress on the new Bakkt?

Akshay Naheta Executive

So look, that's the reason why I laid out the slide earlier because I knew that there would be this question around key KPIs for 2026. And the slide earlier gives you exactly how we look at our business in terms of how the revenues are generated and how that all flows down to the bottom line. And so I would just say that in terms of KPIs, I think it will be driven from each of these 6 different boxes that I've highlighted. And the key variable for each of these boxes to actually make money and for it to actually flow down into revenues and then finally into profit. So I think when you look at Bakkt Markets, as an example, it will be around trading volume and the spreads that we are generating — spreads and fees that we're generating, which then flows down to revenue.

10/15

------

So that's very straightforward. On the Bakkt Agent side, I think you'd look at something around stablecoin transaction volume and the combined blended spread and FX conversion rates that we are making on that front. And when it comes to Bakkt Global, I think you're looking at 2 aspects of it. One is the NAV accretion of our investments that we are making because that's —all of the investments that we're making are booked based on an equity method of accounting.

So for example, our $11 million investment or so in Japan is today worth significantly higher than that, but we haven't put it through the P&L statement. And so that's something that sits on our balance sheet marked that at — sorry, at our cost value. But — however, depending on — as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, depending on whether these companies, that we invest in, decide to go and pursue a Bitcoin treasury strategy or want to leverage some of our technology and license that, then there will be additional licensing and recurring revenue in terms of revenues that we'll end up generating. And I think we'll give you more color on all of these fronts as we go ahead and release the KPIs for 2026.

Operator Operator

And our next question comes from the line of Mark Palmer from Benchmark.

Mark Palmer Analyst

I know you touched on this during your prepared remarks, but just wanted to dig into it a little bit more, can you talk about the role of partnerships, joint ventures on the one hand and M&A on the other as potential accelerants of each of the company's strategies?

Akshay Naheta Executive

So we are very focused on organic growth, Mark, for the moment. And so I can't really speak too much about M&A because we really haven't thought about that. But in terms of distribution partnerships, as I said, we are — we've been hard at work to work on these distribution partnerships. In my prepared remarks, I alluded to the fact that we expect to have something that we can publicly share with everyone over the next — over the coming quarter or two. And I think that is actually one of the gating factors for actually releasing the KPIs because until we get this in hand or are very close to doing it, we don't want to go out and release the KPIs.

So our model is to grow through partnerships because that's the best way to grow. We don't want to be consumer-facing directly. I think that costs a lot of money to go out and expand and spend the money on customer acquisition costs. And so we will definitely continue pursuing a distribution-led partnership model to get the volumes onto the platform, and we look forward to updating everyone as and when we are ready to announce these partnerships publicly.

11/15

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Justin Pan from Clear Street.

Justin Pan Analyst

It's Justin on for Brian. Obviously, a ton of exciting work over the past quarters on [ deploying ] the structure of the business and paving a clear path for next year. I guess when we think about '26, what are some of the considerations on both the macro and the policy side you would call out that would be both potential tailwinds and headwinds to growth as we think about the outlook for 2026?

Akshay Naheta Executive

I mean, the most exciting thing is the CLARITY Act that's hopefully going to get passed soon, certainly, hopefully, next year. I think that's a very exciting development for us. And just getting the regulatory clarity as it relates to real-world asset tokenization is a big opportunity for us in general. Other than that, I think not much else on the policy front in the U.S. I think the administration has already paved away.

And from day 1, they've declared their intention to make sure that America becomes a crypto capital of the world. And increasingly, it's already — if it hasn't already become that, it's definitely well along its way to become that.

I think the other thing that's very exciting is looking at all of these very large financial institutions getting their sleeves rolled out to participate in the stablecoin space because we are the picks and shovels, and we are stablecoin agnostic, and I just see a very, very bright future in terms of volume growth, cross currency, stablecoin FX-related growth and so on. And so we built a business which is ready to take advantage of all of those opportunities that lie ahead of us. And like I said, we're very early in the story, very, very early innings for what's to transpire here over the next several decades. So that's my view.

Justin Pan Analyst

Got it. That's helpful. And just one more for me. You talked a bit about your international expansion model, beginning with Japan. I guess could you touch on some geographies that you're focused on next?

And what's the strategy for scaling beyond the U.S. and Europe?

Akshay Naheta Executive

I think the model is the same. I explained it in my prepared remarks. But I think, look, you're going to hear from the company in Japan tomorrow, there is the EGM tomorrow. And I think it will become clearer as to what that company's strategy is going forward. The other jurisdictions that I alluded to in my prepared remarks are South Korea and India.

And again, the idea will be to see what we can leverage on the markets and agent infrastructure side to grow in these high potential jurisdictions and expanding our footprint, so that we are very focused on our core market, which is the U.S., but then these companies are leveraging either our product services or technology to then grow, but then also give back some licensing and other revenue back to Bakkt.

Operator Operator

If there are no further questions from analysts, I'll pass the call back to Cody Fletcher for some questions from the retail community.

Cody Fletcher Executive

Thank you, operator. We have our first question from X user at [indiscernible] 333. His question was Visa, Mastercard, Zelle, they're all now talking about stablecoins. So how can Bakkt kind of compete with these companies. Akshay, you want to take this one?

Akshay Naheta Executive

I mean, it's similar to what Chris was alluding to as it relates to Zero Ash. But look, I'll answer this as well. So it's a fair question. We don't really see ourselves competing head-on with the big card networks of peer-to-peer systems. What Bakkt is doing is more of the picks and shovels layer, the regulated infrastructure that lets the whole ecosystem operate securely and at scale.

And so there's a lot being said about stablecoins and new payment rails these days, and it's a good thing because it validates the overall direction that we are heading in. But there are still some very big gaps in how those systems work, particularly around compliance, custody, the payment rails and then the integration of it all into the TradFi rails.

13/15

------

And for Bakkt, the cooperation agreement with DTR brings those capabilities directly inside Bakkt. And that really gives us a very solid footing as this market continues to evolve and grow materially over years to come, in my opinion. So the fintech space is huge. That's why I left a very lucrative career to be involved in this space because I believe that it's never going to be a winner-take-all space. It's that big.

Different players can coexist, some consumer-facing, others like us providing the regulated backbone underneath. And if you look at, generally speaking, what's happening in terms of the recent M&A activity, by some of the very companies that you were mentioned in the questions and the private market valuations in the space, you can draw your own conclusions. Many of these companies are being bought by the very large names that were mentioned while they might not be showing any top line growth and are doing it with a lot of heavy burn and with our profitability. At least that's what the bankers are telling us. So we are taking a much more disciplined approach.

We're building a sustainable compliant business that can scale responsibly and as the transformation ramps up here at year-end, I think that discipline combined with where the broader market is headed would speak for itself as to what Bakkt is building at this end. Hope that answers the question.

Cody Fletcher Executive

That's great. And our last question here is from another X user at [ Amir X Trades ]. Amir said, being invested in your company for 4-plus years like so many other shareholders, Bakkt time and time again loses all of its gains due to poor decisions and lack of updates. What will this new leadership team do differently to improve shareholder value over time.

Akshay Naheta Executive

So yes, Amir and a few other users on X have messaged me from time to time directly or tweeted at me, and I completely understand their frustration. I mean this is exactly why this new leadership team came in to fix the structure, clean up the balance sheet and refocus Bakkt on its core mission. I definitely cannot control or manage the company based on short-term stock price moves. As Mr. Buffett famously says, in the short term, the markets are voting machine.

But in the long term, it's a weighing machine. And our job really is to build the kind of substance that the market will weigh over time.

14/15

------

I believe we've made a lot of strong progress on the transformation, and we expect to have it largely completed by year-end. Either before year-end or at our Investor Day in Q1 '26, we'll share clear KPIs. We hope to announce the distribution partnerships that are currently being worked out, and we'll outline the next phase of our road map accordingly. And I hope that, Amir, you will see that progress and you'll continue supporting us as a long-term shareholder. Back to you, Cody.

Cody Fletcher Executive

Thanks, Akshay. That's all the questions we have in retail. So back to you, operator, to close this out.

Operator Operator

Certainly. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics Disclosure This release includes discussions of non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations, EBITDA and Ad justed EBITDA, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non -GAAP measures have no standardized meaning and are not defined under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of these Non -GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

These measures are provid ed on a supplemental basis for transparency and comparability, and do not modify reported GAAP revenue. For more information regarding Adjusted net income (loss) from contin uing operations Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, including reconciliations to their corresponding GAAP financial measures, please refer to the supplement to this release. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Non-GAAP financial measures like EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have no standardized meanings and are not defined by accounting prin ciples generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such Non -GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepar ed in accordance with GAAP. The Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other fina ncial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income from continuing operations Due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, the Company has been unable to consult with the SEC with respect to obtaining pr e-clearance regarding the presentation of contributions from new business activity in GAAP revenue. The Company is presenting "Adjusted net income from continuing oper ations," a Non-GAAP measure, relating to continuing operations only, to reflect the full economic contribution of these activities. Adjusted Net Income from Continuin g Operations (Non-GAAP) is a performance measure that excludes certain items to provide investors with additional insight into the underlying trends of the Company's business. Adj usted Net Income from Continuing Operations excludes (i) the non-cash fair value remeasurement of warrant liability, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) interest expense (inc ome), net. Management believes these adjustments facilitate comparisons of financial performance by removing items that are not reflective of the Company's ongoing economic m odel. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepare d in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations is provided belo w.
