Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability Surge: Net income increased 165% year-over-year to $54.0 million. This was primarily driven by a $21.3 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, compared to a $21.6 million loss in the prior year.
• Revenue vs. Net Revenue: While total revenue grew 8.3% to $151.9 million due to higher average receivables, Net Revenue declined 3.9% to $87.3 million. This was caused by a significant increase in the "Change in fair value of finance receivables" (charge-offs and fair value adjustments) to $64.6 million from $49.5 million.
• Expense Management: Total expenses rose 7.5% to $51.9 million, driven largely by a 73% increase in professional fees. However, interest expense decreased 17% due to debt paydowns and rate decreases.
• Balance Sheet: Total debt decreased by $37.1 million quarter-over-quarter due to reduced utilization of revolving credit lines. Finance receivables at fair value decreased 8.0% to $502.6 million, attributed to seasonality.

Guidance, Outlook, and Material Events

• Merger with BNCC: On April 28, 2026, OppFi entered into a merger agreement to acquire BNCCORP, Inc. The transaction, valued at approximately $130.7 million, involves a mix of cash and stock. It is expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. Upon closing, BNC National Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary (OppFi Bank, N.A.).
• Corporate Simplification: In April 2026, the company completed a corporate simplification, becoming the sole owner of OppFi-LLC and eliminating noncontrolling interests. This triggered a tax basis "step-up" with anticipated future tax benefits of ~$111 million, partially offset by a $40.8 million early termination payment for the Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA).
• Legal Proceedings: The company secured a favorable tentative decision in its lawsuit against the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) regarding the "true lender" doctrine and interest rate caps (AB 539). The DFPI retains the right to appeal.
• Share Repurchases: The company repurchased 1.04 million shares for $9.9 million in Q1. A new $40 million repurchase program was approved in May 2026.
• Risks: Key risks include the failure to consummate the BNCC merger, integration challenges, regulatory scrutiny of the bank partnership model, and credit quality deterioration in the loan portfolio (net charge-offs as a % of revenue increased to 42.5%).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Warrant Liability Volatility: Verify the sustainability of earnings given the $21.3 million non-cash gain from warrant liabilities, which was the primary driver of the net income turnaround.
• Credit Quality Trends: Monitor the rising net charge-off rate (55.5% annualized vs. 47.0% prior year) and its impact on future net revenue.
• Merger Closing Conditions: Track regulatory approvals (OCC, Federal Reserve) and BNCC shareholder votes required to close the $130.7 million transaction.
• Liquidity Post-TRA: Confirm the company's ability to fund the $40.8 million TRA termination payment and the cash portion of the BNCC merger ($69.3 million) using existing cash and undrawn debt capacity.
• California Litigation Status: Watch for any appeal filings by the DFPI regarding the "true lender" ruling, which could impact operations in a key market.
