Prior periods presented here have been updated to reflect the prior period numbers on a comparable basis. See Appendix for non-GAAP reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. Fourth Quarter 2024 Aggregate Originations were $522 million, a 19% increase compared to $437 million in the prior-year quarterPortfolio Yield was 34.2%, an increase of 155 basis points compared to the 32.7% in prior-year quarterOwned Principal Balance at end-of-period was $2.7 billion, a decrease of 8% compared to $2.9 billion in the prior-year quarterAnnualized Net Charge-Off Rate of 11.7%, a decrease of 55 basis points compared to 12.3% in the prior-year quarter30+ Day Delinquency Rate of 4.8%, a decrease of 113 basis points compared to 5.9% for the prior-year quarter Full Year 2024 Aggregate Originations were $1,775 million, a 2% decrease compared to $1,813 million in the prior yearPortfolio Yield was 33.5%, an increase of 125 basis points compared to 32.2% in the prior yearAnnualized Net Charge-Off Rate of 12.0%, a decrease of 18 basis points compared to 12.2% in the prior year Financial and Operating Results All figures are as of or for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted. Operational Drivers Originations – Aggregate Originations for the fourth quarter were $522 million, an increase of 19% as compared to $437 million in the prior-year quarter as the Company returned to year-over-year growth for the first time in ten quarters. Aggregate Originations for full year 2024 were $1,775 million, a decrease of 2% as compared to $1,813 million in 2023. Portfolio Yield – Portfolio Yield as of the end of fourth quarter was 34.2%, an increase of 155 basis points as compared to 32.7% in the prior-year quarter. Portfolio Yield for the full year 2024 was 33.5%, an increase of 125 basis points as compared to 32.2% in 2023. Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results Revenue – Total revenue for the fourth quarter of $251 million was a decrease of 4% as compared to $263 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to the November 12th sale of the Company's credit card receivables portfolio and a decline in average daily principal balance in its personal loans portfolio. The decline in average daily principal balance was due to prior credit tightening actions, the revenue impact of which was partially offset by a 155 basis point increase in portfolio yield to 34.2%. Excluding the impact of the credit card receivables portfolio sale, the fourth quarter's total revenue declined by only 2%. Net revenue for the fourth quarter was $93 million, up 30% as compared to Net Revenue of $72 million in the prior-year quarter. Lower net charge-offs and non-cash fair value marks more than offset lower total revenue and higher interest expense. Excluding a one-time, non-cash write-off of $17 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Company's November corporate debt refinancing, net revenue would have been up 53% year-over-year. Operating Expenses and Adjusted Operating Expense1 – For the fourth quarter, total operating expense was $89 million, a decrease of 31% as compared to $129 million in the prior-year quarter and below the $97.5 million the Company was targeting. The decrease is principally attributable to a combined set of cost reduction initiatives announced in 2023 and 2024. The fourth quarter 2024 figure includes approximately $6 million in one-time benefits, including those related to capitalization of previous accrued expenses associated with the Company's debt refinancing, true-ups related to estimated costs of exiting the credit card product and other benefits management does not consider to be part of a normalized run rate. Without the benefit from these one-time items, operating expense would have been approximately $95 million, still below the $97.5 million target. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 17% year-over-year to $89 million. Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)1 – Net income was $9 million as compared to a net loss of $42 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in net income was attributable to the increase in net revenue and a decrease in operating expenses as a result of cost reduction initiatives. Adjusted Net Income was $22 million, as compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $8.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was attributable higher net revenue and the decrease in operating expense. Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS1 – GAAP earnings per share, basic and diluted, were both $0.20, as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $1.09 each in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.49 as compared to adjusted loss per share of $0.54 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA1 – Adjusted EBITDA was $41 million, up from $10 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by a significant reduction in operating expenses along with reduced charge-offs. Full Year 2024 Financial Results Revenue – Total revenue for the full year was $1.0 billion, a decrease of 5% as compared to total revenue of $1.1 billion in 2023. The decrease was due to decreased interest income attributable to a lower Average Daily Principal Balance including impact from the November sale of the credit card receivables portfolio and decreased non-interest income. Excluding the impact of the credit card receivables portfolio sale, full year total revenue declined by 4%. Net revenue for the full year was $295 million, an increase of 5% compared to net revenue of $281 million in the prior year, primarily due to an improvement in net decrease in fair value, including reduced marks on asset backed notes and reduced charge-offs. This net revenue favorability was partially offset by an increase in interest expense, including a one-time, non-cash write-off of $17 million of deferred financing fees related to the Company's debt financing in the fourth quarter, and the decline in total revenue. Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Expense1 – For the full year, total operating expense was $410 million, a decrease of 23% as compared to $534 million in 2023, enabled by the cost reduction initiatives announced in 2023 and 2024. Adjusted Operating Expense, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, decreased 20% year-over-year to $381 million due to similar drivers. Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)1 – Net loss was $79 million, as compared to a net loss of $180 million in 2023. Adjusted Net Income increased to $29 million, as compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $71 million in 2023. The improvements in net loss and Adjusted Net income were attributable to reduced operating expenses coupled with higher net revenue, including reduced charge-offs. Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EPS1 – GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, were both $1.95 for the full year 2024 as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $4.88 each in 2023. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.72 in 2024 as compared to an adjusted net loss per share of $1.93 in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA1 – Adjusted EBITDA was $105 million, an increase of $86 million , or 463% as compared to $19 million in 2023, also driven by reduced operating expenses coupled with higher net revenue, including reduced charge-offs. Credit and Operating Metrics Net Charge-Off Rate – The Annualized Net Charge-Off Rate for the fourth quarter was 11.7%, a 55 basis points reduction from 12.3% in the prior-year quarter, and 12.0% for the full year 2024, an 18 basis points reduction from 12.2% in 2023. Dollar Net Charge-offs for the quarter were down 12% to $80 million, compared to $91 million for the prior-year quarter, and down 9% to $331 million for the full year 2024, compared to $364 million for 2023. 30+ Day Delinquency Rate – The Company's 30+ Day Delinquency Rate was 4.8% at the end of 2024, a 113 basis points improvement compared to 5.9% at the end of 2023. Operating Expense Ratio and Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio1 – Operating Expense Ratio for the quarter was 13.1% as compared to 17.5% in the prior-year quarter, a 434 basis points improvement. Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio was 13.1% as compared to 14.5% in the prior-year quarter, a 141 basis points improvement. For the full year 2024, Operating Expense Ratio was 14.8% as compared to 17.9% for 2023, a 302 basis points improvement. For the full year 2024, Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio was 13.8% as compared to 16.0% for 2023, a 224 basis points improvement. The Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio excludes stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges, such as expenses related to the credit card portfolio sale. The improvement in Adjusted 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 due to prior credit tightening actions. Return on Equity ("ROE") and Adjusted ROE1 – ROE for the quarter was 10%, as compared to (39)% in the prior-year quarter. The increase was attributable to the increase in net income. Adjusted ROE for the quarter was 25%, as compared to (8)% in the prior-year quarter. ROE for the full year 2024 was (21)%, as compared to (38)% for 2023. Adjusted ROE for the full year 2024 was 8%, as compared to (15)% for 2023. 1 Beginning 1Q24, we updated our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Expense. To align with these updated calculations we also updated Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Return on Equity. Prior periods presented here have been updated to reflect the prior period numbers on a comparable basis. See Appendix for non-GAAP reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. Other Products Secured personal loans – As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a secured personal loan receivables balance of $162 million, up 38% from $117 million at the end of 2023, and up 15% quarter-over-quarter. Available only in California as of the end of 2023, Oportun now also offers secured personal loans in Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Jersey and Illinois. During 2024, secured personal loan losses ran approximately 500 basis points lower compared to unsecured personal loans, with fourth quarter revenue per loan approximately 75% higher due to larger average loan sizes. Funding and Liquidity As of December 31, 2024, total cash was $215 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $60 million and restricted cash of $155 million. Cost of Debt and Debt-to-Equity were 8.0% and 7.9x, respectively, for and at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 as compared to 7.1% and 7.2x, respectively, for and at the end of the prior-year quarter. Cost of Debt and Debt-to-Equity were 7.8% and 7.9x, respectively, for and at the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 6.0% and 7.2x, respectively, for and at the year ended December 31, 2023. These fourth quarter and full year 2024 Cost of Debt figures exclude a $17 million non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs relating to the repayment of the Company's prior corporate financing facility as part of a November refinancing. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $227 million of undrawn capacity on its existing $766 million personal loan warehouse lines.

Oportun Financial CorporationABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(unaudited) This press release dated February 12, 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. As previously announced on March 12, 2024, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the Company has updated it's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for all periods. To align with these updated calculations the Company also updated Adjusted Operating Efficiency, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Return on Equity. Comparable prior period Non-GAAP financial measures are included in addition to the previously reported metrics. Adjusted EBITDAThe 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.
