Record revenue of $268 million, 7% year-over-year growth
Quarterly operating expense of $123 million, lowest in two years
Two new personal loan financing agreements totaling up to $267 million executed
$80 million in additional annualized operating expense reductions, streamlining product suite
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oportun Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: OPRT) (“Oportun”, or the "Company") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
"Oportun's performance reflected record revenue and our lowest quarterly operating expenses in two years," said Raul Vazquez, CEO of Oportun. "Our top-line remained resilient, growing 7% despite originations declining by 24%, as we prioritized quality over quantity of loans, while our operating expenses declined markedly year-over-year and 10% sequentially. That being said, I'm disappointed that the impact of fair value adjustments and higher interest expense caused us to fall short of our Adjusted EBITDA expectations. We are taking additional decisive actions to substantially enhance shareholder returns, including further cost reductions intended to achieve $105 million in quarterly run rate expenses by the end of 2024. We are also streamlining our product suite by exploring strategic options relating to our credit card portfolio and sunsetting our embedded finance partnership with Sezzle, as well as our investing and retirement products. Backed by two new personal loan financing agreements with primary funding partners totaling up to $267 million, we're well positioned for profitable, sustainable growth in service of our members."

Financial and Operating Results
All figures are as of or for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, unless otherwise noted.
Operational Drivers
Members – Members as of the end of the third quarter grew to 2.1 million, up 13% from 1.9 million as of the end of the prior-year quarter.
Products – Products as of the end of the third quarter grew to 2.3 million, up 14% from 2.0 million as of the end of the prior-year quarter.
Originations – Aggregate Originations for the third quarter were $483 million, a decrease of 24% as compared to $634 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by fewer loans originated due to the Company tightening its credit underwriting standards and focusing lending toward existing and returning members to improve credit outcomes.
Financial Results
Revenue – Total revenue for the third quarter was $268 million, an increase of 7% as compared to $250 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income due to growth in the Company's Average Daily Principal Balance and higher portfolio yield, along with non-interest income associated with the Savings product. Net revenue for the third quarter was $85 million, a decrease of 42% as compared to net revenue of $147 million in the prior-year quarter. Net revenue declined from the prior-year quarter due to increased interest expense and less favorable net change in fair value, which includes the impact of higher charge-offs, partially offset by increased revenue.
Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense – For the third quarter, total operating expense was $123 million, a decrease of 53% as compared to $259 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is attributable to the $108 million goodwill impairment charge in the prior-year quarter and a combined set of initiatives announced in February and May anticipated to deliver $126 to $136 million in annualized expense savings. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 19% year-over-year to $110 million.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) – Net loss was $21 million as compared to a net loss of $106 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in net income is attributable to the goodwill impairment charge in the prior-year quarter and a combined set of initiatives in February and May anticipated to deliver $126 to $136 million in annualized expense savings. Adjusted Net Loss was $18 million as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $8.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income is attributable to decreased net revenue, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS – GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $0.55 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $3.21 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Earnings Per Share was $(0.46) as compared to $0.25 in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA was $16 million, up from a $6.2 million loss in the prior-year quarter.
Credit and Operating Metrics
Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the quarter was 11.8%, compared to 9.8% for the prior-year quarter.
30+ Day Delinquency Rate – The Company's 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 5.5% at the end of the quarter, compared to 5.4% at the end of the prior-year quarter and 5.3% in prior-quarter. 30+ Day Delinquency Rates are presented on page 8 of the Company's Earnings Presentation available at investor.oportun.com.
Operating Efficiency and Adjusted Operating Efficiency – Operating Efficiency for the quarter was 46% as compared to 104% in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Operating Efficiency for the third quarter was 41%, as compared to 54% in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Operating Efficiency excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, such as the Company's workforce optimization expenses, and acquisition and integration related expenses. The improvement in Operating Efficiency is primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Operating Efficiency reflects the Company growing its revenue while exercising strong expense discipline to reduce operating expenses.
Return On Equity ("ROE") and Adjusted ROE – ROE for the quarter was (19)%, as compared to (70)% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement is attributable to the goodwill impairment charge in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted ROE for the quarter was (16)%, as compared to 5.6% in the prior-year quarter.

| Oportun Financial Corporation ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited) |
This press release dated November 6, 2023 contains non-GAAP financial measures. The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that the provision of these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of Oportun's core business and useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors and its board of directors to evaluate and compare operating results, including return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by making the adjustments described below. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Oportun's business, as it removes the effect of income taxes, certain non-cash items, variable charges and timing differences.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of income tax expense, as reported, because historically it has included irregular income tax items that do not reflect ongoing business operations.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense because they are non-cash charges.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of interest expense associated with the Company's corporate financing facilities, as it views this expense as related to its capital structure rather than its funding.
- The Company excludes the impact of certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, acquisition and integration related expenses and other non-recurring charges because it does not believe that these items reflect ongoing business operations. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, debt amendment and warrant amortization costs related to our corporate financing facilities.
- The Company also reverses origination fees for Loans Receivable at Fair Value, net. The Company believes it is beneficial to exclude the uncollected portion of such origination fees, because such amounts do not represent cash received.
- The Company also reverses the fair value mark-to-market adjustment because it is a non-cash adjustment.
Adjusted Net Income
The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. The Company believes that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, and The Company's board of directors to evaluate and compare its operating results, including return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period, excluding the after-tax impact of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of income tax expense (benefit), as reported, because historically it has included irregular income tax items that do not reflect ongoing business operations. The Company also includes the impact of normalized income tax expense by applying a normalized statutory tax rate.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude the impact of certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, acquisition and integration related expenses and other non-recurring charges because it does not believe that these items reflect its ongoing business operations. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, debt amendment and warrant amortization costs related to our Corporate Financing facility.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash charge.
Adjusted Operating Efficiency and Adjusted Operating Expense
The Company defines Adjusted Operating Efficiency as Adjusted Operating Expense divided by total revenue.

* Due to the uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, we are unable to precisely forecast the fair value mark-to-market adjustments on our loan portfolio and asset-backed notes. As a result, while we fully expect there to be a fair value mark-to-market adjustment which could have an impact on GAAP net income (loss), the net income (loss) number shown above assumes no change in the fair value mark-to-market adjustment.
