Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 8.7% in Q2 and 13.5% YTD compared to the prior year, driven by gross origination growth and strong collection efforts. Gross originations were $55.3 million in Q2 2024.
• Profitability Improvement: The company reported an operating income of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a significant improvement from an operating loss of $7.7 million in the same period in 2023. Net loss decreased 58.5% YTD.
• Expense Reduction: Operating expenses decreased 6.9% in Q2 and 13.1% YTD, primarily due to reduced compensation costs from headcount reductions.
• Debt Reclassification: Due to the maturity date of June 4, 2025, the entire Revolving Line of Credit (RLOC) and Term Loan have been reclassified as current liabilities.
• Restatement: Prior period financial statements (2022 and 2023) were restated due to errors in sales tax payable calculations and depreciation expense, resulting in revenue reductions and increased liabilities in those periods.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Liquidity and Refinancing: Management projects insufficient cash to pay off loans upon maturity in June 2025 and is actively seeking to refinance. The company has $5.3 million of unused capacity on its RLOC.
• Going Concern: The financial statements are prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern, though uncertainty remains regarding the outcome of refinancing efforts.
• Merchant Concentration: Wayfair Inc. represented 48% of gross originations in Q2 2024 and 48% YTD. The loss of this partner would materially adversely affect the business.
• Internal Controls: The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to insufficient GAAP expertise and lack of controls over journal entries. These weaknesses remain unremediated as of June 30, 2024.
• Legal Proceedings:
  • Shareholder Litigation: Reached an agreement in principle to settle New York and Delaware class actions for $12.0 million (partially covered by insurance). Settlement hearings are scheduled for late 2024 and early 2025.
  • DCA Litigation: A breach of contract lawsuit by Daiwa Corporate Advisory LLC is scheduled for trial in October 2024.
• Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $2.8 million in the prior year period.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Refinancing Status: Verify the progress of negotiations to refinance the ~$100 million debt maturing in June 2025.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor the timeline and effectiveness of plans to remediate material weaknesses in financial reporting.
• Wayfair Dependency: Assess the stability of the relationship with Wayfair, which accounts for nearly half of gross originations.
• Legal Settlements: Track the final approval of the $12 million shareholder litigation settlement and the outcome of the DCA trial.
• Covenant Compliance: Confirm continued compliance with financial covenants (Minimum Adjusted EBITDA, Tangible Net Worth, Liquidity) under the Credit Agreement.
