Insights

Financial Analyst

Oportun delivers strong Q1 with return to profitability, improved credit metrics, and effective cost management despite slight revenue decline.

Oportun's Q1 results demonstrate a compelling financial turnaround with GAAP profitability of $9.8 million – a remarkable $36 million improvement year-over-year from a previous $26 million loss. This marks their second consecutive profitable quarter on a GAAP basis and fifth on an adjusted basis.

The company's disciplined expense management stands out with operating expenses reduced by 15% year-over-year to $93 million, reflecting successful cost-cutting initiatives that have directly enhanced bottom-line performance. This operational efficiency is visible in the ROE improvement to 11% from -27% last year, while Adjusted ROE jumped to 21% from just 4%.

Credit performance shows consistent strengthening with 30+ day delinquencies declining to 4.7% from 5.2%, representing the fifth consecutive quarterly improvement. Dollar net charge-offs have decreased for six straight quarters, down 5% year-over-year despite a slight uptick in the annualized rate to 12.2%.

Loan originations grew 39% to $469 million, demonstrating robust demand, though the company has prudently moderated full-year origination growth guidance from 10-15% to approximately 10% citing macroeconomic uncertainty. The strategic emphasis on secured personal loans appears effective, with this portfolio growing to $178 million and demonstrating approximately 500 basis points lower losses than unsecured loans.

Total revenue declined 6% to $236 million, but this was primarily due to the November 2024 sale of the credit card portfolio which contributed $11 million in the prior-year quarter. More importantly, net revenue increased 34% to $106 million, driven by reduced fair value adjustments and improved credit performance.

With reaffirmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $1.10-$1.30 (implying 53-81% growth) despite moderating loan growth expectations, Oportun demonstrates confidence in its operational model and credit performance for the remainder of 2025.

GAAP Net income of $9.8 million increased $36 million year-over-year

GAAP EPS of $0.21 increased $0.89 year-over-year

Adjusted EPS of $0.40 increased $0.31 year-over-year

Operating expenses of $93 million reduced 15% year-over-year

Reiterating full year 2025 credit performance and profit expectations

SAN CARLOS, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oportun Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: OPRT) (“Oportun”, or the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“We started 2025 with a strong first quarter, building on the momentum from last year. I’m pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, with net income increasing by $36 million year-over-year,” said Raul Vazquez, CEO of Oportun. “We’ve also delivered profitability on an adjusted basis for the fifth consecutive quarter, with Adjusted Net Income up $15 million year-over-year. Our Return on Equity (ROE) improved to 11%, while our Adjusted ROE also improved by 17 percentage points, to 21%. We maintained strong cost discipline, reducing quarterly operating expenses by 15% year-over-year during the quarter. In addition, credit continued to perform well, with 30-plus day delinquencies and dollar net-charge-offs declining year-over-year for the fifth and sixth consecutive quarters, respectively. Given the current macroeconomic uncertainty, we are prudently moderating our expectations for full year loan originations growth from the 10% to 15% range, to approximately 10%. Factoring in both this adjustment and our Q1 outperformance, we're reiterating our full year 2025 Adjusted EPS guidance of $1.10 to $1.30 per share, implying growth of 53% to 81%.

Financial and Operating Results

All figures are as of or for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

Operational Drivers

Originations – Aggregate Originations for the first quarter were $469 million, an increase of 39% compared to $338 million in the prior-year quarter, as the Company grew originations year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter. Management currently expects full year 2025 Aggregate Originations growth in the 10% range.

Portfolio Yield - Portfolio Yield for the first quarter was 33.0%, an increase of 49 basis points as compared to 32.5% in the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to increased pricing on loans.

Financial Results

Revenue – Total revenue for the first quarter was $236 million, a decrease of 6% as compared to $250 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline was primarily due to the absence of $11 million of revenue from the credit cards receivable portfolio which was sold in November 2024. Net revenue for the first quarter was $106 million, a 34% increase compared to net revenue of $79 million in the prior-year quarter, as reduced fair value marks and net charge-offs more than offset the total revenue decline and higher interest expense.

Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense – For the first quarter, total operating expense was $93 million, a decrease of 15% as compared to $110 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is attributable to a combined set of cost reduction initiatives enacted during the last year. The Company continues to expect full year 2025 operating expenses of approximately $390 million, averaging $97.5 million a quarter for a 5% reduction from full year 2024. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 13% year-over-year to $89 million.

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) – Net income was $9.8 million as compared to a net loss of $26 million in the prior-year quarter. The increased profitability was attributable to expense reduction initiatives, and increased net revenue driven by reduced fair value mark-to-market impact and improved credit performance. Adjusted Net Income was $19 million as compared to $3.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was also driven by reduced operating expenses, along with improved credit performance.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS – GAAP earnings per share, basic and diluted, were both $0.21 during the first quarter, compared to GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted of $0.68 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Earnings Per Share was $0.40 as compared to $0.09 in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA was $34 million, up from $1.9 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by the cost reduction initiatives enacted during the last year along with improved credit performance.

Credit and Operating Metrics

Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the quarter was 12.2%, compared to 12.0% for the prior-year quarter. Net Charge-offs in dollars for the quarter were down 5% to $81 million, compared to $85 million for the prior-year quarter.

30+ Day Delinquency Rate – The Company's 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 4.7% at the end of the quarter, compared to 5.2% at the end of the prior-year quarter.

Following the first quarter, the Company's 30+ Day Delinquency Rate declined to 4.5% at the end of April.

Operating Expense Ratio and Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio – Operating Expense Ratio for the quarter was 13.9% as compared to 15.5% in the prior-year quarter, a 157 basis points improvement. Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio was 13.3% as compared to 14.3% in the prior-year quarter, a 102 basis points improvement. The Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges. The improvement in Adjuste        d Operating Expense Ratio is primarily attributable to the Company's focus on reducing operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in Average Daily Principal Balance including the impact from the sale of the credit cards receivable portfolio in November 2024.

Return On Equity ("ROE") and Adjusted ROE – ROE for the quarter was 11%, as compared to (27)% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement was attributable to the increase in net income. Adjusted ROE for the quarter was 21%, as compared to 4% in the prior-year quarter.

Secured Personal Loans

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a secured personal loan receivables balance of $178 million, up from $112 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Oportun currently offers secured personal loans in California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Jersey and Illinois. During the full year 2024, secured personal loans losses ran approximately 500 basis points lower compared to unsecured personal loans. Furthermore, secured personal loans originated during the first quarter are expected to generate approximately twice the revenue per loan compared to unsecured personal loans, primarily due to higher average loan sizes.

Funding and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, total cash was $231 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $79 million and restricted cash of $152 million. Cost of Debt and Debt-to-Equity were 8.2% and 7.6x, respectively, for and at the end of the first quarter 2025 as compared to 7.5% and 7.3x, respectively, for and at the end of the prior-year quarter. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $317 million of undrawn capacity on its existing $766 million personal loan warehouse lines. The Company's personal loan warehouse lines are committed through September 2027 and August 2028.

Financial Outlook for Second Quarter and Full Year 2025

Oportun is providing the following guidance for 2Q 2025 and full year 2025 as follows:

	2Q 2025		Full Year 2025
Total Revenue	$237 - $242M		$945 - $970M

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)

This press release dated May 8, 2025 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.

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 Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio

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 defines Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio as Adjusted Operating Expense divided by Average Daily Principal Balance. 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. The Company believes Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio 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 and Average Daily Principal Balance.

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 and quarterly volatility in the fair value mark to market adjustment, we are unable to precisely forecast the fair value mark-to-market adjustments on our loan portfolio and asset-backed notes on a quarterly basis. 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.
