Risk or Challenges
Higher Delinquencies on Summer Vintages: OppFi experienced higher delinquencies on loans originated during the summer, which could impact financial performance and require adjustments to maintain growth.
Higher Default Rates: Loans originated in the summer showed higher default rates, leading to increased net charge-offs as a percentage of revenue and receivables, which could negatively affect profitability.
Net Charge-Offs: Net charge-offs as a percentage of revenue increased to 45% in Q4, up from 42% in the prior year, and as a percentage of receivables increased to 59%, up from 54%, indicating higher credit losses.
Interest Rate Sensitivity: Higher risk loans were priced with higher interest rates, but this approach may not fully mitigate the financial impact of increased defaults.
Operational Risks in System Migration: The planned migration to the new LOLA system in Q3 2026 carries risks related to implementation, testing, and potential disruptions to operations.
Regulatory and Compliance Risks: The introduction of a new line of credit product in 2026 may face regulatory scrutiny and compliance challenges, especially in new geographies.

Key Q&A
Q:Can you remind us how quickly loss emergence typically occurs and whether it's too early to discuss the impact of gas prices on borrowers?
A:Loss emergence is observed very early, within the first month of loan origination, with indicators at 28 and 42 days. The company has seen improvements in early indicators in December and January, giving confidence for double-digit growth in 2026. Inflation and gas price increases are being closely monitored as they impact discretionary income and repayment ability.
Q:Is there anything to consider regarding the cadence of losses in the second half of 2026?
A:The company has implemented risk-based pricing and strategic initiatives to unlock growth. They are confident in their Model 6.1, which uses recent data to improve credit performance and pricing risk. The company is better positioned now compared to 2022 when they lacked risk-based pricing.
Q:Can you provide more details on the increased retention percentage by bank partners?
A:Retention percentages vary by state due to compliance with federal and state laws. Banks taking higher percentages in some states slightly reduce gross-to-net figures. However, the company views this as a positive sign of confidence from banks in their servicing and underwriting capabilities.
Q:What were the learnings from the higher losses in early summer vintages?
A:No single factor stood out as the cause of higher losses. Customer sentiment and financial security were identified as early indicators of repayment behavior. The company monitors data daily and is developing Model 7 to incorporate the most recent data for better credit performance.
Q:When will Model 6.1 go live, and what are its advantages?
A:Model 6.1 will launch in the first half of 2026. It improves credit performance by reweighting variables based on repayment data, making the model more predictive. Testing has shown better originations and credit performance.
Q:How is the company thinking about capital allocation given consistent free cash flow?
A:The company is using free cash flow for share buybacks, M&A opportunities, tech system investments, and debt repayment. They are also investing in their lending system, LOLA, to integrate AI tools and improve operations. They aim to remain well-capitalized for strategic opportunities.
Q:What is the playbook for responding to rising gas prices?
A:The company targets lower-risk customers and adjusts pricing to accommodate growth in these segments. They are also launching a line of credit product to expand into new geographies. Inflation and gas price surges are being closely monitored, and the company is prepared to respond if needed.
Q:How has the process of developing new models changed with AI tools?
A:AI tools have significantly reduced the cycle time for developing and refining models, allowing for faster responses to macroeconomic changes. The company is focused on creating more predictive and adaptive models to handle rapid changes in the market.
Q:Is there anything specific baked into the guidance for 2026?
A:The company expects typical seasonality and is encouraged by strong early vintage metrics and a robust tax refund season. They anticipate double-digit revenue and profit growth for the year.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific loss guidance for 2026, using vague language about 'strategic initiatives' and 'confidence' in their models without offering concrete details. Additionally, while discussing capital allocation, they mentioned a 'menu of options' without specifying clear priorities or plans.
