Last update: Mar 5, 2025
Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (“Forge,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FRGE), a leading private securities marketplace, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
"We closed out 2024 with 13% year-over-year growth and a strong pipeline,” said Forge CEO Kelly Rodriques. "Our year-over-year revenue improvement included a 46% increase in marketplace revenues, which grew to $37.0 million. As Q4 came in near-even to Q3, I’m happy to report we’ve observed improving over-all market dynamics and growing deal activity, aided by the technology improvements we’ve delivered to support our leading marketplace.”
Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2024
Revenue: Total revenue less transaction-based expenses was $18.3 million compared to $19.1 million quarter-over-quarter.
Operating Loss: Total operating loss was $18.7 million compared to $20.9 million quarter-over-quarter.
Net Loss: Net loss was $16.0 million compared to $18.8 million quarter-over-quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA: Total adjusted EBITDA loss was $10.9 million compared to $11.4 million quarter-over-quarter.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities was $7.9 million compared to $5.8 million quarter-over-quarter.
Ending Cash Balance: Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 was $105.1 million.
Share Count: Basic weighted-average number of shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was 186 million shares and fully diluted outstanding share count as of December 31, 2024 was 201 million shares.
We estimate for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that Forge will have 187 million weighted average basic shares outstanding, which will be used to calculate earnings per share in a loss position.
Fully diluted outstanding share count includes all common shares outstanding plus shares that would be issued in respect to outstanding restricted stock units, options and warrants, net of shares to be withheld in respect to exercise price of the respective instruments. Instruments that are out of the money are excluded from the fully diluted outstanding share count.
*Percentages may not be replicated based on the rounded figures presented.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.
However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (vi) acquisition-related transaction costs, and (vii) other significant gains, losses, and expenses (such as impairments, transaction bonus) that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing results.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” which generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “goal,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict, indicate, or relate to future events or trends or Forge’s future financial or operating performance, or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Forge’s beliefs regarding its financial position and operating performance, as well as future opportunities for Forge to expand its business. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections, and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, while considered reasonable by Forge and its management, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Forge’s documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. There may be additional risks that Forge presently does not know of or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Forge’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Forge anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while Forge may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Forge specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Forge’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
