Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)$102.2M$134.9M$207.8M$272.0M
  • Q2 revenue rose 54.1%, led by small-business revenue growth of 75.2% and consumer revenue growth of 45.0%. For the first half, revenue grew 51.4%.
  • Revenue growth did not translate proportionately into net revenue: the negative fair-value change was $143.4M in Q2 versus $5.6M a year earlier, and $260.5M for the first half versus $26.7M. Net revenue margin was 64.8% in Q2 and 67.2% for the half, down from 97.9% and 94.9%, respectively.
  • Q2 operating margin was 21.9% versus 46.4%; net income margin was 12.8% versus 30.3%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.1% versus 51.0% (non-GAAP). Management attributed the prior-year margins to unusually low delinquencies and charge-offs in a more seasoned, lower-origination portfolio; it described current margins as more normalized.
  • Q2 marketing expense increased to $91.6M from $55.3M, principally to capture demand; operations and technology expense rose to $42.3M from $35.0M. General and administrative expense declined to $33.7M from $38.7M, primarily reflecting OnDeck synergies.

Financial position, cash flow and funding

  • At June 30, 2022, total assets were $3.253B, including loans and finance receivables at fair value of $2.461B. Total long-term debt was $1.841B, up from $1.384B at December 31, 2021; stockholders’ equity was $1.108B.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $144.1M, with restricted cash of $69.7M, or $213.8M combined. The combined balance was $225.9M at year-end 2021.
  • For the first half, operating cash flow was $392.2M, investing cash outflow was $751.3M and financing cash inflow was $347.1M. Investing outflows chiefly reflected net lending and receivables funding. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $12.1M.
  • At June 30, committed and undrawn funding capacity was $803.1M. The revolving credit facility was amended to provide $440M capacity and mature in June 2026; a new $420M OnDeck securitization facility was established, with no balance outstanding at quarter-end. The company reported compliance with debt covenants and no recourse debt maturities until September 2024.
  • Weighted-average interest rate on debt was 5.84% for the first half, versus 8.20% in the prior-year period. Net interest expense nevertheless increased to $47.4M from $39.3M, mainly because average debt outstanding rose.

Material changes, outlook and risks

  • Consumer loans and finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent were 7.1% of the combined balance at June 30, versus 4.1% a year earlier; consumer charge-offs as a percentage of average combined balances were 13.7% in Q2 versus 4.6%. Management linked the increases mainly to portfolio growth and more new-customer originations.
  • Small-business loans more than 30 days delinquent were 3.6%, down from 7.1% a year earlier; Q2 charge-offs as a percentage of average balances increased to 2.2% from 0.7%. Management cited improving delinquency trends but noted that newer originations typically carry higher default rates.
  • Management stated that stressed-case liquidity modeling indicated sufficient resources for the foreseeable future. It gave no specific earnings or revenue guidance in the provided filing text; results are subject to uncertainty, including economic conditions, inflation, recession and unemployment, funding costs, customer credit performance, regulation and market access.
  • Fair values of loans rely on Level 3 discounted-cash-flow models and significant assumptions, including expected losses, prepayments, utilization, servicing costs and discount rates. Management increased discount rates during the first half of 2022 in response to market movements.
  • Unusual items included $6.3M of Q2 equity-method investment income, primarily an $11.0M gain from Linear’s sale of its operating company, partly offset by a $4.4M loss on the sale of OnDeck Canada. The company repurchased $104.4M of shares during the first half.
  • Regulatory and legal matters include a CFPB investigation concerning loan-processing issues, a Virginia lawsuit whose potential loss could not be estimated, and New Mexico legislation imposing a 36% rate cap on certain loans effective January 1, 2023. The filing also identifies broad consumer-finance regulatory, litigation, cyber, operational and macroeconomic risks.

Important facts for investors to verify

  • How loan fair-value changes, consumer charge-offs and delinquency trends develop as the larger, recently originated portfolio seasons.
  • Whether revenue growth can support improved operating income and margins after marketing, funding and credit costs.
  • Availability and cost of committed funding, facility borrowing-base requirements, covenant compliance and refinancing needs.
  • Potential financial and operational effects of regulatory developments, including the CFPB matter and New Mexico rate-cap law, and the outcome of the Virginia litigation.
  • The sustainability of reported earnings after accounting for the Linear gain and other non-GAAP adjustments; compare GAAP results with management’s adjusted measures.
