Additional Highlights / Takeaways
Sustainable Growth Trend:
Based on performance through the first nine months of 2025, management believes the Company is on pace to exceed approximately $7.5-$8.0 million in total revenue and $3.8-$4.0 million in pre-tax income for full-year 2025, which would represent record annual profitability for Luminar.
Annualized Run Rate:
Extrapolating from the Company's most recent six months of performance (Q2 and Q3 combined), management estimates an annualized gross revenue run rate of approximately $12 million, reinforcing the scalability of Fortun's model heading into 2026.
Third-Quarter Contribution:
The third quarter of 2025 alone contributed approximately $2.18 million in additional revenue and approximately $1.12 million in additional pre-tax net income, demonstrating that recent production is both growing and highly profitable.
High Conversion of Revenue to Profit:
For the first nine months of 2025, net income before taxes represents nearly49% of total revenue - an exceptional benchmark for a financing company, highlighting strong portfolio performance and low default/loss experience.
Operational Efficiency
Accelerating Profitability:
The Company's revenue grew significantly with earnings growing at an even faster rate, underscoring margin expansion and operational efficiency as Fortun's revenue-based financing model continues to mature.
Expanding Margins:
Operating margin improved from approximately 49.6% in the first half of 2025 to approximately 51.3% for the first nine months of 2025, reflecting tighter cost control and higher effective yield per funded dollar.
Expense Efficiency:
While revenue grew by 61.2%, operating expenses rose only approximately 55.6% over the same period, highlighting strong cost discipline and expanding operating leverage.
Management Commentary
"Our financial performance through the first nine months of 2025 clearly shows that Fortun's revenue-based financing platform is scaling with discipline," said Yoel Damas, President of Luminar Media Group, Inc. "We are growing revenue rapidly while expanding margins and maintaining strong performance. The fact that EPS is more than double what we reported for the first half of the year, without a corresponding surge in expenses, speaks to the efficiency of our underwriting, collections, and technology-enabled operations."
Juan Sese, Vice President of Finance of Luminar Media Group, added: "As we finish Q4 and look ahead to 2026, our focus remains on strengthening our balance sheet, expanding our recurring portfolio base, and advancing the institutional foundation we've been building throughout the year. The continued progress on governance, audit completion, and capital-markets readiness reflects the discipline behind our growth strategy and positions Luminar and Fortun to close 2025 on a strong note."
