Insights

FlexShopper's Q4 2024 performance demonstrates exceptional operational momentum with several standout metrics. The 35% YoY increase in lease originations and 42% growth in marketplace originations while maintaining underwriting standards signals robust business scaling. Most impressive is the 40% reduction in marketplace marketing cost per customer while achieving 13% new customer growth, indicating significantly improved operational efficiency.

The retail product margin reaching $1.4 million in December (34% YoY increase) and $2.1 million for Q4 (143% QoQ increase) demonstrates strong monetization capabilities. The Revolution Loan segment's 95% YoY growth in new customer originations adds a promising revenue diversification stream.

The combination of higher originations, improved marketing efficiency and 12 months of improving payment rates suggests a trajectory toward enhanced profitability in 2025. The asset-light model and technology platform scalability position the company for potentially stronger margins as it leverages its fixed cost base across a growing transaction volume.

The strategic execution in both DTC and B2B channels reveals FlexShopper's strengthening market position in the lease-to-own space. The 34% YoY increase in flexshopper.com applications indicates growing brand awareness and market penetration. The company's ability to reduce marketing spend while growing the customer base suggests effective targeting and potentially positive word-of-mouth dynamics.

The significant improvements across all key metrics - applications, originations and margins - during the important holiday season demonstrate the platform's ability to capture peak consumer demand effectively. The 152% QoQ increase in marketplace originations particularly stands out, suggesting successful seasonal execution and potential market share gains from traditional retailers.

Positive momentum remained strong for the month of December with record application volume, record lease and loan originations and record retail product margin

Operating metrics substantially better than the results in the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, which produced prior record financial results for those respective periods

“2024 was a transformative year for FlexShopper, highlighting the multi-year strategies we have been pursuing to profitably grow our business, manage risk, provide more payment options for our DTC and B2B customers, and leverage the patented, asset light, technology enabled platform we have developed,” said Russ Heiser, CEO at FlexShopper. “Most importantly, our fourth quarter operating performance highlights the hard work of our talented and committed team members, and the value our payment solutions provide customers across the U.S. The fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2024 produced record quarterly financial results, respectively, and the fourth quarter of 2024 has significantly outperformed those quarters.”

Mr. Heiser continued, “We believe FlexShopper is filling a valuable need across retail channels by providing flexible payment solutions to consumers through an easy to use, technology enabled application process. This is producing strong demand from current and potential B2B partners, while simultaneously driving growth on our DTC flexshopper.com digital marketplace. In addition, we expect the significant origination growth we experienced for the fourth quarter of 2024 will support strong financial results in 2025, as prior period lease originations are recognized as lease revenue and benefit financial results in future quarters. These trends, combined with higher levels of originations, are expected to drive continued growth in revenue and profitability in 2025.”

FlexShopper’s financial closing procedures for the full fourth quarter ending December 31, 2024, are not yet complete. However, the operating results are indicative of financial results historically.
