-- Year to date Adjusted EBITDA of GBP(9)m (September 2022: GBP(18)m) improving by 51% year on

EBITDA Margin for Q3 was (17)%, compared to (98)% and (50)% in Q1 and Q2 respectively, demonstrating
a clear path to Adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of 2023.
PensionBee delivered strong growth across all of its key performance indicators in the first
nine months of the year, with Assets under Administration ('AUA') increasing by 40% to GBP3,902m.
The Company has seen excellent momentum in the growth of its customer base, adding approximately
40,000 new Invested Customers in the first nine months of the year, taking the overall Invested
Customer base to 223,000. This demonstrates the continued success of its data-led, multi-channel
customer acquisition approach and highlights the clear demand for its customer-focused proposition.
Revenue for the first nine months of the year grew by 33% year on year to GBP17m as a result
of strong Net Inflows from new and existing customers, with LTM Revenue increasing by 32%
to GBP22m. The Company's sustained high Customer Retention Rate and AUA Retention Rate, both
>95%, have continued to drive recurring Revenue.
Continued Advancement of Strategic Goals
The Company's GBP9m marketing investment across the last three quarters has driven sustained
brand awareness and customer acquisition. PensionBee has focused on cost-effective brand channels,
such as YouTube and Tik Tok, reaching millions of consumers. This approach has been accompanied
by continued investment in performance channels focused on search and social media, with data-led
insights driving decision-making. The Cost per Invested Customer has continued to demonstrate
a downward trajectory, in line with expectations, given the depth of the Company's marketing
capability in efficient customer acquisition.
PensionBee has continued to innovate, ensuring it meets the needs of its customers and supports
their engagement. It has maintained its commitment to providing customers with helpful tools
they need to achieve their retirement goals, such as its public calculators and informative
video series. In addition, our award nominated podcast is now available within the app, making
it easy for customers to access valuable content on the go. The Company's focus on delivering
outstanding customer service has been evidenced through its Excellent Trustpilot rating and
rapid response times on the phone and live chat.
The Company has continued to invest in the scalability of its technology platform through
a focus on internal automation, efficiency, security and pension transfer improvements to
support productivity. There has been further integration with the Company's proprietary data
platform and product development processes to facilitate best practice decision making, as
reflected by an 11% improvement in productivity.(1) PensionBee is focused on cyber security
and providing a secure experience for its customers and has implemented a mandatory two-factor
authentication for all customers.
Outlook
The Board remains confident in PensionBee's potential for continued growth and profitability,
due to a combination of the strength and stability of its existing customer base, together
with its ability to attract new customers that generate growth in recurring Revenue through
its scalable technology platform.
The Company is pleased to reiterate the guidance previously provided at the time of the 2022
full year results. The Company's ambition is to pursue a c.2% market share target of the substantial
GBP700bn UK transferable pensions market over the next 5-10 years, translating to a Revenue
ambition of approximately GBP150m.
The Company remains on track to further reduce Cost per Invested Customer, expecting to achieve
ongoing Adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of 2023 and for the full year 2024. PensionBee
expects to achieve long-term EBITDA Margins in excess of 50%, leveraging the scalability of
its technology platform and maintaining its high quality service. This is supported by the
Company's continued positive momentum in its trading performance and growth in key indicators,
such as Invested Customers and AUA. PensionBee continues to maintain a strong cash balance
of GBP12.5m.
Analyst and Investor Presentation
There will be a presentation for analysts and investors this morning at 8:30am (UK time) via
webcast. Please contact press@pensionbee.com if you would like to attend.
Romi Savova, CEO of PensionBee, commented:
"We are pleased to have continued growing our customer base throughout the year, helping
more and more consumers to become Pension Confident. Our customers prioritise their retirement
savings, ensuring they can keep track of their pensions by consolidating them and topping
up their contributions. As a result, we have continued growing our Assets Under Administration
and Revenue. We are confident in the delivery of ongoing Adjusted EBITDA profitability by
the end of the year, marking an important milestone in PensionBee's corporate trajectory."

costs incurred
since PensionBee commenced trading up until the relevant point in time divided by
the cumulative
number of Invested Customers at that point in time. This measure monitors cost
discipline
of customer acquisition. PensionBee's desired CPIC threshold is GBP200-GBP250.

Revenue
