4Q23 Total revenue of $263 million, bringing FY23 to $1.1 billion, up 11% year-over-year
Quarterly operating expense down 15%
$30 million in additional operating expense reductions announced
$200 million February ABS deal completed at 160 bps lower pricing than October transaction
Full Year 2024 guidance reflects expectations for markedly improved profitability
SAN CARLOS, Calif., March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oportun Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: OPRT) (“Oportun”, or the "Company") today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
"We executed well during the fourth quarter and met each of our guidance metrics," said Raul Vazquez, CEO of Oportun. "Our top-line remained resilient and we completed full year 2023 with a record $1.1 billion of total revenue, for 11% growth year-over-year, while continuing to focus on the quality rather than the quantity of our originations under a tightened credit posture. We also continued to drive operating efficiencies and reduced our quarterly operating expenses by 15% year-over-year, setting our sixth consecutive post-IPO record for Adjusted Operating Efficiency. We're pleased that the $200 million asset backed securitization we completed in February was ten times oversubscribed, indicative of the investment community's strong confidence in the quality of Oportun's underwriting and its business model. Committed to enhancing our profitability while serving our members as a much leaner enterprise, we're ardently focused on winning in the marketplace with three differentiated core products: unsecured personal loans, secured personal loans and savings. Our initial full year 2024 guidance reflects markedly improved profitability on an adjusted basis, supported by an additional $30 million in run-rate operating expense savings to be achieved by 4Q24."

Financial and Operating Results
All figures are as of or for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted.
Operational Drivers
Members – Members as of the end of the fourth quarter grew to 2.2 million, up 18% from 1.9 million at the end of the prior-year quarter.
Products – Products as of the end of the fourth quarter grew to 2.4 million, up 19% from 2.0 million at the end of the prior-year quarter.
Originations – Aggregate Originations for the fourth quarter were $437 million, a decrease of 28% as compared to $610 million in the prior-year quarter. Aggregate Originations for the full year 2023 were $1.8 billion, a decrease of 38% as compared to $2.9 billion in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to credit tightening actions. The decrease in number of loans originated was partially offset by growth in average loan size due to a focus on returning members.
Portfolio Yield – Portfolio Yield as of the end of fourth quarter was 32.7%, an increase of 100 basis points as compared to 31.7% in the prior-year quarter. Portfolio Yield for the full year 2023 was 32.2%, an increase of 23 basis points as compared to 32.0% in 2022. Both figures were primarily attributable to higher pricing on our personal loan products.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue – Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $263 million, essentially flat as compared to total revenue of $262 million in the prior-year quarter. Total revenue was flat as increased portfolio yield and higher non-interest income was offset by a decrease in the Average Daily Principal Balance. Net Revenue for the fourth quarter was $72 million, a decrease of 50% as compared to Net Revenue of $143 million in the prior-year quarter. Net Revenue declined from the prior-year quarter due to an unfavorable change in fair value and increased interest expense, partially offset by improved net charge-offs.
Operating Expenses and Adjusted Operating Expenses – For the fourth quarter, total operating expense was $129 million including $7 million of costs related to severance, a decrease of 15% as compared to $151 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 27% year-over-year to $101 million.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) – Net loss was $41.8 million, as compared to net loss of $8.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Net Loss was $21 million, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $4.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The decreases in net income and Adjusted Net Income are attributable to an unfavorable net change in fair value, and increased interest expense.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS – GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $1.09 , as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.25 each in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted loss per share was $0.54 as compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.14 in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million, up $40 million from the prior year quarter, driven by a significant reduction in operating expenses.
Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue – Total revenue for the full year was $1.1 billion, an increase of 11% as compared to total revenue of $953 million in 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income attributable to a higher Average Daily Principal Balance and increased non-interest income attributable to interest earned on our savings product, recently rebranded as "Set & Save."
Operating Expenses and Adjusted Operating Expenses – For the full year, total operating expense was $534 million, a decrease of 25% as compared to $716 million in 2022. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 17% year-over-year to $452 million, primarily driven by the Company's reductions in force, decreased marketing spend as we shifted our strategy to focus efforts on existing and returning members and other cost savings measures.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) – Net loss was $180 million, as compared to a net loss of $78 million in 2022. Adjusted Net Loss was $124 million, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $69 million in 2022. The decreases in net income and Adjusted Net Income are attributable to non-cash fair value mark-to-market adjustments, increased charge-offs and interest expense, partially offset by increased revenues.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS – GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $4.88 for the full year 2023 as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $2.37 each in 2022. Adjusted loss per share was $3.37 in 2023 as compared to adjusted earnings per share of $2.09 in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million, up $12 million from 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue was 0.2% and (1.1)% for 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Credit and Operating Metrics
Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the fourth quarter was 12.3%, compared to 12.8% for the prior-year quarter, and 12.2% for the full year 2023, compared to 10.1% for 2022 and 6.8% for 2021.
30+ Day Delinquency Rate – 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 5.9% at the end of 2023, compared to 5.6% at the end of 2022. 30+ Day Delinquency Rates are presented on page 11 of the Company's Earnings Presentation available at investor.oportun.com.

| Oportun Financial Corporation ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited) |
This press release dated March 12, 2024 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.
Revised Adjusted EBITDA
Beginning in 2024, we will transition to an updated definition of Adjusted EBITDA which better represents how management views the results of operations and makes management decisions. Reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures, updated definitions of reconciling items, and comparative calculations for 2022 and 2023 for Adjusted EBITDA using the new definition can be found below.
| Adjusted EBITDA | Rationale for Change |
| Interest on Corporate Financing | We have updated the interest on corporate financing adjustment to include interest on our acquisition related financing previously included within the adjustment for acquisition and integration related expenses. |
| Depreciation and amortization | We have updated the adjustment related to depreciation and amortization to include the amortization of acquired intangibles. This amortization was previously included within the adjustment for acquisition and integration related expenses. |
| Acquisition and integration related expenses | We have removed the adjustment related to acquisition and integration related expenses. Interest expense related to our acquisition related financing has been reclassified to the adjustment for corporate financing. Amortization of acquired intangibles has been reclassified to depreciation and amortization. |
| Origination fees for loans receivable at fair value, net | We have removed the adjustment related to origination fees for loans receivable at fair value, net as we believe this better aligns with common practices within our industry. |
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.
Revised Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Beginning in 2024, we will transition to an updated definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) which better represents how management views the results of operations and makes management decisions. Reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures, updated definitions of reconciling items, and comparative calculations for 2022 and 2023 for Adjusted Net Income (Loss) using the new definitions can be found below.
| Adjusted Net Income (Loss) | Rationale for Change |
| Acquisition and integration related expenses | We have removed the adjustment related to acquisition and integration related expenses. Interest expense related to our acquisition related financing has been reclassified to the adjustment for Corporate Financing. Amortization of acquired intangibles has been reclassified to depreciation and amortization. |
| Fair value mark-to-market adjustment on Asset-Backed Notes at Fair Value | We have added an adjustment to exclude the Fair value mark-to-market adjustments related to Asset-Backed Notes at Fair Value. This adjustment aligns with our decision in 2023 to stop electing the fair value option for new debt financings. By the end of 2025 nearly all our existing Asset-Backed Notes at Fair Value will have paid down to zero, so after that there will be no mark-to-market adjustment for our debt. |
Adjusted Operating Efficiency and Adjusted Operating Expense
The Company defines Adjusted Operating Efficiency as Adjusted Operating Expense divided by total revenue. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Expense as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses associated with our workforce optimization, acquisition and integration related expenses and other non-recurring charges. Other non-recurring charges include litigation reserve, impairment charges, and debt amendment costs related to our Corporate Financing facility. The Company believes Adjusted Operating Efficiency is an important measure because it allows management, investors and Oportun's board of directors to evaluate how efficiently the Company is managing costs relative to revenue. The Company believes Adjusted Operating Expense is an important measure because it allows management, investors and Oportun's board of directors to evaluate and compare its operating costs from period to period, excluding the impact of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges.
Adjusted Return on Equity
The Company defines Adjusted Return on Equity (“ROE”) as annualized Adjusted Net Income divided by average stockholders’ equity. Average stockholders’ equity is an average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity balance for each period. The Company believes Adjusted ROE is an important measure because it allows management, investors and its board of directors to evaluate the profitability of the business in relation to its stockholders' equity and how efficiently it generates income from stockholders' equity.
Adjusted EPS
The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
