About Katapult Holdings, Inc.
About Katapult Holdings, Inc.
Katapult's top ten merchant partners together generated approximately 76% of gross originations in 2025, with its largest partner, Wayfair, alone contributing 25% (down from 36% in 2024). The company operates exclusively in the U.S. across 46 states and the District of Columbia, has integrated with more than 250 merchants, and captured less than 1% share of an estimated $50-60 billion virtual lease-to-own market, with 42% of 2025 gross originations completed through its KPay mobile app.
Katapult earns revenue from recurring lease payments on durable goods leased to nonprime consumers, without carrying inventory risk since goods are shipped directly by merchants; its primary costs are interest on its asset-backed revolver and servicing costs tied to collections. Consumers reach the platform through four channels — direct point-of-sale integration, waterfall financing (where Katapult's offer surfaces after a prime lender declines an applicant), the Katapult App with its KPay virtual-card feature, and in-store text-to-checkout — and KPay transactions are powered by issuing partner Marqeta, with cards backed by issuing bank Sutton Bank. The underwriting engine renders decisions in about five seconds using roughly 2,000 third-party data elements plus internal data, without requiring a credit check, bank account, or payroll information from applicants; the total cost to a lease-purchase customer is capped by state law at a Lease Multiple generally between 2.0x and 2.5x the cash price.

Katapult's Wayfair relationship carries a structural fragility beyond the raw percentage: the Wayfair Agreement, in place since November 2020, renews in successive two-year terms but either party can terminate at any time on 60 days' notice, and the agreement does not prevent Wayfair from offering competing lease-to-own options alongside Katapult's. The 10-K names this explicitly as a risk, warning that a meaningful percentage of gross originations are concentrated with a single merchant, and Katapult's other e-commerce integrations (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento, among others) run on even shorter one-year terms terminable on 30 days' notice, meaning most of the company's merchant relationships can unwind faster than Katapult could realistically replace the lost origination volume.
