Consolidated Results

Total GAAP net revenue of $231.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 was up 101% from the corresponding prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, net revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $237.2 million, a record high and 74% higher than last year's second quarter total of $136.3 million. Strength in all three of SoFi's business segments drove the growth in these measures.

SoFi recorded a $165.3 million net loss for the second quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $7.8 million in last year's second quarter. We remeasured our valuation allowance during 2020 as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million. The absence of that tax benefit, together with significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and fair value changes in warrants primarily related to the fair market value of SoFi stock, were the largest contributors to the current period net loss.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $11.2 million was positive for the fourth consecutive quarter, and $35.0 million higher than the second quarter of 2020, due to the combination of higher revenues across all business segments, partially offset by increased spending to achieve incremental growth.

The Company continued its trend of accelerating year-over-year growth in both members and total products in the second quarter. Total members grew 113% year-over-year to 2.6 million, up from 1.2 million at the same point last year, and total products grew 123% to 3.7 million at quarter end compared to 1.6 million at the same point last year. Growth in our member base and products was driven by significant expansion in the offering across business segments, particularly in the Financial Services segment, where growth in SoFi Invest and SoFi Money offerings more than tripled the number of Financial Services segment products, to nearly 2.7 million, up from approximately 783,000 at the same point last year. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, Financial Services segment products were nearly three times the number of Lending products. Growth in personal and student loans largely drove the 14% year-over-year increase in Lending segment products. Technology Platform accounts increased by 119% in the second quarter of 2021, to nearly 79 million, due to both new client acquisition by Galileo and growth at its existing clients.

Lending Segment results

Lending segment net revenues of $166.3 million on a GAAP basis and $172.2 million on an adjusted basis for the second quarter of 2021 increased by 73% and 47%, respectively, year-over-year, driven by higher origination volume in every type of loan SoFi offers.

Lending segment contribution profit of $89.2 million increased 80% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2021, due to the combination of revenue growth and strategic balance sheet management.

Adjusted net revenue – Lending represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and Table 2 to the “Financial Tables” herein.

In the second quarter of 2021, total origination volume in the Lending segment increased 66% year-over-year. While growth in student loans remains depressed relative to pre-COVID levels, low rates and improving U.S. economic trends have allowed SoFi to return to more normalized credit qualification standards. This led to an increase in personal and home loan funding volumes, which were up 188% and 49%, respectively, year-over-year.

Despite various headwinds, SoFi has continued its trend of expanding its set of product offerings and features in the Lending segment. So far this year, SoFi has introduced a Rate Match Guarantee feature for student loans, as well as a "snooze" feature that allows borrowers to lock in current low rates on a new student loan without beginning payments until the suspension is lifted. In personal loans, we have refined our credit policy and automation capabilities, creating a faster, more accurate and lower-touch experience. More than 50% of personal loans processed in the second quarter of 2021 were fully automated, up from less than 30% one year ago, and we reduced time to fund by 50%, to two days. And in home loans, we introduced a new rates calculator to help borrowers find the right loan for them. The combination of these enhancements, the return to more normalized credit qualification standards, and increased marketing in a favorable rate environment, contributed to double-digit year-over-year growth across every loan type in the second quarter of 2021.

Financial Services Segment results

The Company has experienced significant growth in Financial Services net revenue this year, as members have responded positively to a steady stream of new offerings launched since 2019. Second quarter 2021 net revenue of $17.0 million compares to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. The largest driver of the revenue increase was our SoFi Invest business, where we experienced a surge in new members and activity. Revenues from new equity capital markets and advisory services offerings we introduced during the quarter contributed as well, as did strength in SoFi Money and SoFi Lantern.

Second quarter Financial Services segment contribution loss of $24.7 million improved by $6.1 million from the prior year quarter loss of $30.9 million. Revenue growth of $14.6 million fueled by strength in the offerings referenced above more than offset the $8.5 million year-over-year increase in expenses driven by ongoing investment to grow this business. At the same time, we are executing efficiently on our long-term strategy to increase member adoption of multiple products across segments, which reduces customer acquisition costs and ultimately drives higher lifetime value per member.

By continuously innovating for members with new and relevant offerings, features and rewards, SoFi has more than tripled the number of Financial Services products in the past year, to 2.7 million in total. For our SoFi Money offering, we added a two-day early paycheck feature to an already competitive direct deposit program that includes free overdraft protection and roundups. An innovative personal loan/SoFi Money bundle that offers a rate cut on personal loans paid by direct deposit also drove meaningful account growth over the past year. In our SoFi Invest offering, in addition to expanding our crypto and fractional share trading offerings, the Company launched a first-of-its-kind equity ETF that pays weekly dividends. In our new SoFi Credit Card business, accounts, balances and average spend have all grown substantially since we introduced an innovative rewards program earlier this year, where members have already redeemed 450 million points across SoFi products. In our SoFi Relay offering, we have experienced a surge of new members signing up for free credit score monitoring through the app this year, and opportunities for new SoFi At Work partnerships have grown as companies contemplate post-COVID benefit packages for employees.

Technology Platform Segment results

SoFi's Technology Platform segment consists primarily of Galileo Financial Technologies, a technology infrastructure provider we acquired in May 2020. Already a leader in the internet-only neobanks space with a substantial market share, Galileo is increasingly expanding into non-financial sectors as well. Over the past year, Galileo more than doubled its number of accounts, to nearly 79 million from 36 million, through growth in both new and existing clients.

Total net revenue of $45.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 was up 138% year on year, which reflects a full quarter of operations in 2021 compared to a partial quarter in 2020 subsequent to our acquisition of Galileo. SoFi has used the first year since acquisition to position the business for future growth, investing heavily to move operations from an on-premise environment to the Cloud, nearly double headcount and expand to new geographies. This has caused a significant increase in expenses and slower growth in contribution profit, which was up 8% during the period.

Recent Events

Social Finance, Inc. (Social Finance) entered into a merger agreement (the Agreement) with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V (SCH) on January 7, 2021. The transactions contemplated by the terms of the Agreement were completed on May 28, 2021, in conjunction with which SCH changed its name to SoFi Technologies, Inc. The transactions contemplated in the Agreement are collectively referred to as the Business Combination.

Guidance and Outlook

Second quarter 2021 adjusted net revenue of $237 million exceeded quarterly guidance of $215 million to $220 million by 10% at the low end and 8% at the high end. Adjusted EBITDA of $11 million for the quarter exceeded quarterly guidance of $(8) million to $2 million by $19 million at the low end and $9 million at the high end.

Management expects continued strong growth in the third quarter of 2021, with expected adjusted net revenue of $245 million to $255 million and expected adjusted EBITDA of $(7) million to $3 million. Management reiterates its full-year 2021 guidance of adjusted net revenue of $980 million and adjusted EBITDA of $27 million. This is despite lowering our expectations for student loan refinancing revenue by $40 million, due to the extension of the CARES Act moratorium on student loan payments from September 30, 2021 to January 31, 2022, and reducing our Technology Platform revenue estimate by $12 million due to the minority stake in Apex being bought back. Management will further address third quarter and full-year 2021 guidance on the quarterly earnings conference call.

Earnings Webcast

SoFi’s executive management team will host a live audio webcast beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) today to discuss the quarter’s financial results and business highlights. All interested parties are invited to listen to the live webcast at https://investors.sofi.com. A replay of the webcast will be available on the SoFi Investor Relations website for 30 days. Investor information, including supplemental financial information, is available on SoFi’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.sofi.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents information about our adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as supplements to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, help better assess our overall liquidity position, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as total net revenue and net income (loss). Other companies may not use these non-GAAP measures or may use similar measures that are defined in a different manner. Therefore, SoFi's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in Table 2 to the “Financial Tables” herein.

Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the GAAP financial measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Revenue

Adjusted net revenue is defined as total net revenue, adjusted to exclude the fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation inputs and assumptions changes, which relate only to our Lending segment. For our consolidated results and for the Lending segment, we reconcile adjusted net revenue to total net revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as presented for the periods indicated below:

Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on servicing rights, including conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. These assumptions are highly sensitive to market interest rate changes and are not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Moreover, these non-cash charges are unrealized during the period and, therefore, have no impact on our cash flows from operations. As such, these positive and negative changes are adjusted out of total net revenue to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the net revenue available to finance our operations and our overall performance.

(2)

 

​Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on residual interests classified as debt, including conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated securitization variable interest entities ("VIEs") by purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the closing of the securitization and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These residual debt obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but they have no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business. As such, these positive and negative non-cash changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of total net revenue to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the net revenue available to finance our operations.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (i) corporate borrowing-based interest expense (our adjusted EBITDA measure is not adjusted for warehouse or securitization-based interest expense, nor deposit interest expense and finance lease liability interest expense, as discussed further below), (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based expense (inclusive of equity-based payments to non-employees), (v) impairment expense (inclusive of goodwill impairment and of property, equipment and software abandonments), (vi) transaction-related expenses, (vii) warrant fair value adjustments, and (viii) fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation assumptions. We reconcile adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated below:

Our adjusted EBITDA measure adjusts for corporate borrowing-based interest expense, which includes interest on our revolving credit facility and the seller note issued in connection with our acquisition of Galileo (for periods prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2021) and other financings assumed in the acquisition, as these expenses are a function of our capital structure. Our adjusted EBITDA measure does not adjust for interest expense on warehouse facilities and securitization debt, as these interest expenses are direct operating expenses driven by loan origination and sales activity. Additionally, our adjusted EBITDA measure does not adjust for interest expense on SoFi Money deposits or interest expense on our finance lease liability in connection with SoFi Stadium, as these interest expenses are direct operating expenses driven by SoFi Money deposits and finance leases, respectively. As compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a higher average balance on our revolving credit facility as a result of the Galileo acquisition, as well as interest expense related to the Galileo seller note issued in May 2020, which we repaid in February 2021.

(2)

 

The significant change in our income tax position for the 2021 periods relative to 2020 was primarily due to a partial release of our valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with deferred tax liabilities resulting from intangible assets acquired from Galileo in May 2020.

(3)

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to: (i) amortization expense on intangible assets acquired during the second quarter of 2020 from Galileo and 8 Limited, (ii) amortization of purchased and internally-developed software, and (iii) depreciation related to SoFi Stadium related fixed assets.

(4)

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, transaction-related expenses included the special payment to the Series 1 preferred stockholders in conjunction with the Business Combination. Transaction-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 also included financial advisory and professional services costs associated with our pending purchase of Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, transaction-related expenses included certain costs, such as financial advisory and professional services costs, associated with our acquisitions of Galileo and 8 Limited.

(5)

 

In 2019, Social Finance issued Series H warrants in connection with certain redeemable preferred stock issuances, which were accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination, we measured the final fair value of the Series H warrants and subsequently reclassified them into permanent equity. Therefore, we will not measure the Series H warrants at fair value on an ongoing basis, subsequent to May 28, 2021. In addition, in conjunction with the Business Combination, SoFi Technologies assumed certain common stock warrants (“SoFi Technologies warrants”) that are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis, subsequent to the Business Combination. Our adjusted EBITDA measure excludes the non-cash fair value changes in the Series H warrants and the SoFi Technologies warrants during the periods wherein each class of warrants was measured at fair value through earnings. The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 were primarily attributable to a significant increase in our assumed Series H redeemable preferred stock share price for the Series H warrants, as well as the assumption of the SoFi Technologies warrants in the second quarter of 2021. The fair value of the SoFi Technologies warrants is based on the closing price of ticker SOFIW and, therefore, fluctuates based on market activity.

Members

We refer to our customers as “members”. We define a member as someone who has a lending relationship with us through origination or servicing, opened a financial services account, linked an external account to our platform, or signed up for our credit score monitoring service. Once someone becomes a member, they are always considered a member unless they violate our terms of service, given that our members have continuous access to our certified financial planners, our career advice services, our member events, our content, educational material, news, tools and calculators at no cost to the member. We view members as an indication not only of the size and a measurement of growth of our business, but also as a measure of the significant value of the data we have collected over time.

Products

Total products refers to the aggregate number of lending and financial services products that our members have selected on our platform since our inception through the reporting date, whether or not the members are still registered for such products. In our Lending segment, total products refers to the number of home loans, personal loans and student loans that have been originated through our platform through the reporting date, whether or not such loans have been paid off. If a member has multiple loan products of the same loan product type, such as two personal loans, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple loan products across loan product types, such as one personal loan and one home loan, that is counted as two products. In our Financial Services segment, total products refers to the number of SoFi Money accounts, SoFi Invest accounts, SoFi Credit Card accounts (including accounts with a zero dollar balance at the reporting date), SoFi At Work accounts and SoFi Relay accounts (with either credit score monitoring enabled or external linked accounts) that have been opened through our platform through the reporting date. Our SoFi Invest service is composed of three products: active investing accounts, robo-advisory accounts and cryptocurrency accounts. Our members can select any one or combination of the three types of SoFi Invest products. If a member has multiple SoFi Invest products of the same account type, such as two active investing accounts, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple SoFi Invest products across account types, such as one active investing account and one robo-advisory account, those separate account types are considered separate products. Total products is a primary indicator of the size and reach of our Lending and Financial Services segments. Management relies on total products metrics to understand the effectiveness of our member acquisition efforts and to gauge the propensity for members to use more than one product.

Technology Platform Total Accounts

In our Technology Platform segment, total accounts refers to the number of open accounts at Galileo as of the reporting date, excluding SoFi accounts. We exclude SoFi accounts because revenue generated by Galileo from the SoFi relationship is eliminated in consolidation. No information is reported prior to our acquisition of Galileo on May 14, 2020. Total accounts is a primary indicator of the accounts dependent upon Galileo’s technology platform to use virtual card products, virtual wallets, make peer-to-peer and bank-to-bank transfers, receive early paychecks, separate savings from spending balances, make debit transactions and rely upon real-time authorizations, all of which result in technology platform fees for the Technology Platform segment.
