GAAP net loss sharply reduced by $76M year-over-year, returned to adjusted profitability

Raising full year 2024 Total Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance
SAN CARLOS, Calif., May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oportun Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:OPRT) ("Oportun", or the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
"Our first quarter results reflect an important first step in our 2024 business recovery, as we sharply reduced our prior-year GAAP operating loss by $76 million while returning to adjusted profitability," said Raul Vazquez, CEO of Oportun. "Our cost reduction efforts continue to be highly effective, resulting in a 15% sequential and 25% year-over-year decline in operating expenses, while our top line remained resilient as we maintained a tightened credit posture. Outperforming the higher-end of our Total Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges, we expect further operational improvement throughout the remainder of the year. We are raising our full-year 2024 guidance, with our Adjusted EBITDA revision at the midpoint reflecting a 31% uplift and approximately 350% year-over-year growth. We are also reaffirming our expectation to be Adjusted Net Income profitable this year."

Financial and Operating Results
All figures are as of or for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted.
Operational Drivers
Originations – Aggregate Originations for the first quarter were $338 million, a decrease of 17% as compared to $408 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in average loan size under a tightened credit posture from $4,075 to $2,918.
Portfolio Yield - Portfolio Yield as of the end of the first quarter was 32.5%, an increase of 113 basis points as compared to 31.4% at the end of the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to higher fees on loans.
Financial Results
Revenue – Total revenue for the first quarter was $250 million, a decrease of 3% as compared to $260 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $218 million decrease in our Average Daily Principal Balance partially offset by an increase in portfolio yield. Net revenue for the first quarter was $79 million, compared to net revenue of $4.8 million in the prior-year quarter due to a favorable net change in fair value and lower charge-offs, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense1 – For the first quarter, total operating expense was $110 million, a decrease of 25% as compared to $146 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is attributable to a combined set of initiatives announced in 2023 and 2024. The Company remains on track to reduce its operating expenses to $97.5 million or below by the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 23% year-over-year to $102 million.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)1 – Net loss was $26 million as compared to a net loss of $102 million in the prior-year quarter. The improvement was attributable to favorable net change in fair value and a combined set of initiatives in 2023 to reduce expenses. Adjusted Net Income was $3.6 million as compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $58 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was attributable to the aforementioned expense reduction initiatives, along with current period mark-to-market increases in our loan portfolio and reduced credit losses.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS1 – GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $0.68 during the first quarter, compared to GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted of $3.00 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Earnings Per Share was $0.09 as compared to $(1.70) in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA1 – Adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million, up from a $20 million loss in the prior-year quarter, driven by a expense reduction initiatives and lower net charge-offs, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Credit and Operating Metrics
Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the quarter was 12.0%, compared to 12.1% for the prior-year quarter. Net Charge-offs for the quarter were down to $85 million, compared to $92 million for the prior-year quarter.
30+ Day Delinquency Rate – The Company's 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 5.2% at the end of the quarter, compared to 5.5% at the end of the prior-year quarter and 5.9% in prior-quarter.
Operating Efficiency and Adjusted Operating Efficiency1 – Operating Efficiency for the quarter was 44% as compared to 56% in the prior-year quarter, a 1,262 basis point improvement. Adjusted Operating Efficiency for the first quarter was 41%, as compared to 51% in the prior-year quarter, 1,054 basis point improvement. Adjusted Operating Efficiency excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, such as the Company's workforce optimization expenses. The improvement in Operating Efficiency is primarily attributable to the decrease in operating expenses partially offset by a decrease in Total Revenues. Adjusted Operating Efficiency reflects the Company's focus on its discipline to reduce operating expenses.
Return On Equity ("ROE") and Adjusted ROE1 – ROE for the quarter was (27)%, as compared to (82)% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement is attributable to an improvement in net loss. Adjusted ROE for the quarter was 4%, as compared to (47)% in the prior-year quarter.
1 Beginning 1Q24, we updated our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Efficiency. To align with these updated calculations we also updated Adjusted Operating Efficiency, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Return on Equity. Prior periods presented here have been updated to reflect the prior period numbers on a comparable basis. See Appendix for non-GAAP reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
This press release dated May 9, 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.
As previously announced on March 12, 2024, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the Company has updated it's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for all periods. To align with these updated calculations we also updated Adjusted Operating Efficiency, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Return on Equity. Comparable prior period Non-GAAP financial measures are included in addition to the previously reported metrics.
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, including the senior secured term loan and the residual financing facility, 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, 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 excludes fair value mark-to-market adjustments on its loans receivable portfolio and asset-backed notes carried at fair value because these adjustments do not impact cash.
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, 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 facilities.
- The Company believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash charge.
- The Company also excludes the fair value mark-to-market adjustment on its asset-backed notes carried at fair value to align with the 2023 accounting policy decision to account for new debt financings at amortized cost.
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, 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.

* 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.
