CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OppFi Inc. (NYSE: OPFI) (“OppFi” or the “Company”), a leading financial technology platform that powers banks to help the everyday consumer gain access to credit, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We experienced robust customer demand in the first quarter with a more normalized credit demand environment, achieving a first quarter record 63% origination growth and 38% expansion in ending receivables year over year,” said Todd Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of OppFi. “The current demand environment, coupled with our updated underwriting model, has enabled us to strategically focus on stronger, higher-tier credit segments within our addressable market. While our first quarter profitability was muted as expected, due to elevated charge-off levels from loans originated late last year, our strong origination volume, improved credit performance and enhanced operating efficiencies provide us with confidence for the remainder of the year. As a result, we re-affirm our previously issued full-year 2022 guidance.”

“We remain excited to pursue our mission to facilitate safe, simple and more affordable credit access to the 60 million everyday Americans who currently lack traditional options to rebuild their financial health,” continued Schwartz. “Our strategic growth initiatives are designed to help facilitate affordable credit access to support financial inclusion.”

First Quarter Key Performance Metrics

The following tables represent key quarterly metrics.

(in thousands, except marketing cost per loan information) Unaudited		As of and for the Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021				March 31, 2021
Total Net Originations(a)		$	162,756			$	186,685			$	99,809
Ending Receivables(b)		$	338,458			$	337,529			$	245,293

Marketing Cost per Funded Loan(e)		$	76			$	89			$	56
Marketing Cost per New Funded Loan(f)		$	221			$	260			$	266

1. Total net originations include both originations by bank partners on the OppFi platform, as well as direct originations by OppFi.
2. Receivables are defined as unpaid principal balances of both on- and off-balance sheet loans.
3. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables (defined as unpaid principal of both on- and off-balance sheet loans) represents total charge offs from the period less recoveries as a percent of average receivables. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when OppFi receives notification of a customer bankruptcy or is otherwise deemed uncollectible.
4. Auto-Approval Rate is calculated by taking the number of approved loans that are not decisioned by a loan advocate or underwriter (auto-approval) divided by the total number of loans approved.
5. Marketing Cost per Funded Loan represents marketing cost per funded loan for new and refinanced loans. This metric is the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of loans originated during that same period.
6. Marketing Cost per New Funded Loan represents marketing cost for new loans. This metric is the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of new loans originated during that same period.

Full Year 2022 Guidance Re-Affirmed

OppFi re-affirms its previously issued full-year 2022 financial guidance. The Company expects:

• Total revenue and ending receivables growth of 20% to 25% year over year

• Net revenue margin (defined as gross revenues less change in fair value divided by total revenue) between 60% and 65%

• Adjusted operating expenses (defined as total expenses excluding interest expenses, add backs and one-time items), as percentage of total revenue between 43% and 47%

• Adjusted EBITDA margin between 20% to 25%

• Adjusted net income margin between 8% and 12%

OppFi’s full-year guidance is based on management’s assumptions that origination volumes remain strong, net charge-off rates stabilize and improve throughout the year, and anticipated benefits are realized from operating expense efficiency initiatives already underway.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, OppFi’s expectations with respect to its full year 2022 guidance, the future performance of OppFi’s platform and expectations for OppFi’s growth. These forward-looking statements are based on OppFi’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside OppFi’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of COVID-19 on OppFi’s business; the impact of stimulus or other government programs; whether OppFi will be successful in obtaining declaratory relief against the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation for the State of California; whether OppFi will be subject to AB 539; whether OppFi’s bank partners will continue to lend in California and whether OppFi’s financing sources will continue to finance the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by OppFi’s bank partners in California; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of OppFi to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; risks related to new products; concentration risk; costs related to the business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that OppFi may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; risks related to management transitions; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in OppFi’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular, contained in the section or sections captioned “Risk Factors.” OppFi cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. OppFi does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are unaudited and do not conform to GAAP, such as Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS, Adjusted Net Income (and margin thereof), Adjusted EBITDA (and margin thereof) and Adjusted Operating Expenses. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income, plus (1) recruiting fees, severance and relocation, (2) amortization of debt transaction costs and (3) other addbacks and one-time expenses following the closing of the business combination, including one-time implementation fees, stock compensation expenses, IPO readiness costs and management fees, adjusted for taxes assuming a tax rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and a 23.4% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and a blended statutory rate for state income taxes, in order to allow for a comparison with other publicly traded companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income, plus (1) a tax rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and a 23.4% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and a blended statutory rate for state income taxes, in order to allow for a comparison with other publicly traded companies., (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) interest expense and (4) business (non-income) taxes. Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding, which represent shares of both classes of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022, excluding 25,500,000 shares related to earnout obligations and including the impact of unvested restricted stock units. Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as total expenses excluding interest expenses, add backs and one-time items, and is presented as a percentage of Total Revenue. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. OppFi believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures with comparable names should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation for OppFi's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is in the table below.

The Non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted Operating Expense as a percentage of revenue for the full year 2022 are provided in this press release only on a non-GAAP basis because a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, Net Revenue, Net Income, and Total Expenses, is not available without unreasonable effort. OppFi believes that such items and, accordingly, the other items of the reconciliation, would require an unreasonable effort to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or timing of non-GAAP adjustments used to calculate these Non-GAAP financial measures. OppFi believes that any such forecast would result in a broad range of projected values that would not be meaningful to investors.

Total cash and restricted cash decreased by $2.4 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, driven by self funding higher receivables growth and one time expenses, partially offset by cash from operations.

Other assets as of March 31, 2022 increased by $14.3 million compared to December 31, 2021, driven by the addition of an operating lease right of use asset of $15.1 million partially offset by lower debt issuance costs by $0.5 million.
