Open Lending (NASDAQ: LPRO) swings to positive 2025 Adjusted EBITDA

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Open Lending Corporation reported a sharp improvement in results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Q4 revenue was $19.3 million, up from a loss-like $(56.9) million a year earlier, as profit share estimates on older loan vintages were essentially flat versus a large negative adjustment in 2024. Q4 gross profit reached $14.7 million and net income was $1.7 million, compared with a $(144.4) million net loss in Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.8 million from $(75.9) million.

For 2025, revenue rose to $93.2 million from $24.0 million, and gross profit climbed to $71.7 million. The company narrowed its net loss to $4.2 million from $(135.0) million, while Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $15.6 million from $(55.0) million. Certified loans declined to 97,348 from 110,652 as management tightened underwriting and tested pricing changes. Credit unions and banks accounted for 89.4% of Q4 certified loans, supporting higher-fee business.

Open Lending also launched its ApexOne Auto platform to reach prime borrowers and voluntarily repaid $48.0 million of term debt in December 2025. For 2026, it expects 100,000–110,000 certified loans and Adjusted EBITDA of $25–$29 million, signaling anticipated continued margin improvement.

Positive

• Major profitability improvement: 2025 revenue rose to $93.2 million from $24.0 million, gross profit reached $71.7 million, and Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $15.6 million from $(55.0) million.
• Return to quarterly profitability: Q4 2025 delivered net income of $1.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million, versus a $(144.4) million net loss and $(75.9) million Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2024.
• Balance sheet de-risking: The company made a voluntary $48.0 million principal prepayment on its term loan in December 2025, materially reducing long-term debt outstanding.
• Constructive 2026 outlook: Management projects 100,000–110,000 certified loans and Adjusted EBITDA of $25–$29 million for 2026, indicating expected growth in earnings power.

Negative

• Lower loan volumes: Certified loans declined to 97,348 in 2025 from 110,652 in 2024, with Q4 volumes pressured by temporary conversion headwinds from pricing tests.
• Ongoing net loss and cash draw: Despite improvement, the company still posted a $4.2 million net loss in 2025 and used $3.2 million of cash in operating activities, while cash and cash equivalents fell to $176.6 million from $243.2 million.

Insights

Equity analyst – specialty finance and fintech

Results show a strong rebound in profitability and risk control after prior-year volatility.

Open Lending moved from heavily distorted 2024 results to a more normal 2025 earnings profile. Revenue rose to $93.2 million from $24.0 million, mainly because 2024 included large negative profit share estimate changes that did not recur at the same scale in 2025. Gross profit expanded to $71.7 million, giving room to absorb operating costs.

Net loss narrowed dramatically to $4.2 million from $(135.0) million, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $15.6 million from $(55.0) million. Management tightened underwriting, shifted mix toward higher-fee credit union and bank channels, and trimmed certified loan volumes to prioritize quality. A voluntary $48.0 million debt prepayment also reduced leverage.

Guidance for 2026 targets 100,000–110,000 certified loans and Adjusted EBITDA of $25–$29 million, implying further profitability gains even with modest volume growth. The key dependencies are stable credit performance in historic vintages, the ramp of the new ApexOne Auto platform across the auto credit spectrum, and disciplined expense control detailed in upcoming 2026 quarters.

Open Lending Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

AUSTIN, Texas, March 12, 2026 – Open Lending Corporation (Nasdaq: LPRO) (the “Company” or “Open Lending”), a leading provider of lending enablement and risk analytics solutions for financial institutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

“I am proud to conclude my first year as Chief Executive Officer, during which we made meaningful progress across all key areas of the business,” said Jessica Buss, Chief Executive Officer of Open Lending. “In 2025, we delivered strong revenue and adjusted EBITDA in our core business while reducing volatility with a materially flat profit share change in estimate. Throughout the year, we remained focused on disciplined underwriting and disciplined pricing, ensuring we selected the right business at the right price with the appropriate risk profile. We believe this approach strengthens our foundation and positions us for sustainable, profitable growth in 2026.

“In addition, with the launch of the ApexOne Auto platform, we expanded our capabilities to the full auto credit spectrum, moving Open Lending beyond a single-product company and enabling us to operate as a full-scope lending platform. We believe these initiatives position us to deliver durable performance across credit cycles and provide consistent growth for our shareholders and customers.”

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance for adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP net income is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because the exclusions can be uncertain or difficult to predict. The actual amount of these exclusions may have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP net income.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to the Company's new loan measures, lender profitability, volatility, market trends, consumer behavior and demand for automotive loans, as well as future financial or operating performance under the heading "Financial Outlook" above. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “on track,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not guarantees of actual results. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market, political and business conditions; applicable taxes, inflation, tariffs, supply chain disruptions including global hostilities and responses thereto, interest rates and the regulatory environment; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which Open Lending may become a party; and other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Subsequent events

and developments may cause the Company's assessments to change, but, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used by the Company to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, the Company believes these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. In addition, the Company believes these measures provide useful analysis for period-to-period comparisons of its business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain non-recurring variable charges.

Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company updated the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude interest income as the Company believes the exclusion of interest income better aligns its presentation with comparable companies. In addition, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company updated the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude certain other non-recurring expenses that do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. Prior periods presented have been conformed to the current period presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense of property and equipment, amortization expense of capitalized software development costs, share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and certain other non-recurring expenses that do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

3 Loan Origination Performance by Quarter & Channel Total certified loan volumes reflect typical seasonal patterns along with our strategic implementation of enhanced underwriting standards aimed at building a higher quality loan portfolio. In addition, the decrease in certified loans in 4Q25 was driven by a temporary headwind in conversion rates as we tested pricing adjustments in response to emerging credit trends. Select changes were rolled back in phases and completed by mid-January 2026 and based on current trends, we do not expect this issue to create any ongoing disruption. Our CU/Bank channel loans typically have higher program fees compared to our OEM loans, which leads to more favorable economics. 21,078 22,038 21,808 22,260 24,215 23,591 21,449 17,254 7,111 6,925 5,627 3,805 3,423 2,931 2,431 2,054 28,189 28,963 27,435 26,065 27,638 26,522 23,880 19,308 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 Total Cert Volume CU/Bank OEM 74.8% 76.1% 79.5% 85.4% 87.6% 88.9% 89.8% 89.4% 25.2% 23.9% 20.5% 14.6% 12.4% 11.1% 10.2% 10.6% 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 Cert Mix by Channel CU/Bank OEM

4 Loan Origination Mix by Segment & Vehicle Category Loan origination mix in 4Q25 reflects a continued shift toward credit union partnerships.

5 We believe our credit portfolio at 4Q25 demonstrates disciplined underwriting with a healthy mix across credit depth segments. SuperThin files made up a negligible amount of loans in 4Q25, having previously peaked at 11% in 4Q24. Our credit builder exposure has also been reduced, with surcharges applied to accounts identified at the time of origination as having credit builder tradelines starting in 4Q24. We are continuing to identify credit builder products in the market; reported figures have been revised to reflect our latest view of this segment.

6 Facilitated Loan Volume & Average Loan Size Trends The decrease in facilitated loan origination volume in 4Q25 was driven by the reduction in loans certified due to a temporary headwind in conversion rates as we tested pricing adjustments in response to emerging credit trends. Average loan size during 2025 increased from 2024 levels. We believe this increase reflects our focus on higher-value lending opportunities and improved customer mix that supports enhanced unit economics for our fees. 787.9 819.3 772.5 732.1 782.9 783.3 701.7 571.6 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 Facilitated Loan Origination Volume ($M) 27,948 28,286 28,156 28,089 28,327 29,535 29,384 29,603 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 Average Loan Size ($)

9 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA ($ in 000's) (1) Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we updated the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude interest income, as we believe the exclusion of interest income better aligns our presentation with comparable companies. Prior periods presented have been conformed to the current period presentation. (2) On December 31, 2025, we made a voluntary prepayment of $48.0 million under our Term Loan due 2027. In connection with the partial repayment of debt, we recorded a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of a proportionate amount of unamortized deferred financing costs. (3) Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we updated the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude certain other non-recurring expenses that do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the adjustment for other non-recurring expense includes a one-time payment of $11.0 million made pursuant to an amendment to a reseller agreement in exchange for the extinguishment of certain rights to ongoing compensation and the revision of the schedule of referral fees payable. This payment was solely in exchange for such modification of compensation rights and is not conditioned upon, nor related to, any future performance or obligations of either party. 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income (loss) 1,682$ (144,436)$ (4,236)$ (135,010)$ Non-GAAP adjustments: Interest (income) expense, net(1) 125 37 345 (773) Income tax expense (benefit) (1,253) 65,842 (1,133) 70,405 Depreciation and amortization expense 653 393 2,410 1,674 Share-based compensation expense 1,417 2,269 7,043 8,677 Loss on extinguishment of debt(2) 203 - 203 - Other non-recurring expense(3) - - 11,000 - Total adjustments 1,145 68,541 19,868 79,983 Adjusted EBITDA 2,827$ (75,895)$ 15,632$ (55,027)$ Total revenue 19,345$ (56,924)$ 93,217$ 24,024$ Adjusted EBITDA margin 15% 133% 17% (229%) Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31,
