What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Record quarterly revenue and profitability driven by originations growth, higher automation (auto-approval 79.1%), and cost discipline; management raised guidance for the third time this year .
- Expense leverage: total expenses as a % of revenue fell to 36.2% (−490 bps y/y) and interest expense declined with proactive debt actions; CFO emphasized strong net revenue growth and expense control .
- Funding cost improvement: new four-year $150M revolver at SOFR+6.0% (from +7.5%) strengthens unit economics and supports receivables growth .
- CEO: “We are raising earnings guidance for the third time this year... auto approval rates increased to 79%” .
- CEO: Model 6.1 refit “designed to identify riskier borrower populations better... enhance risk pricing” .
What Went Wrong
- Credit modestly tighter: net charge-offs as % of revenue ticked up to 35.1% (from 34.3% y/y), reflecting elevated charge-offs from early summer vintages, partly offset by higher recoveries .
- Slight yield compression: average yield decreased to 133.2% (from 133.9% y/y), as losses impacted accrual dynamics; management expects yield stability/rebound into Q4 .
- Early payment stress in quarter prompted selective tightening; management flagged potential seasonal elevation in charge-offs into Q4 while maintaining strong unit economics via risk-based pricing .

Guidance Changes
Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- CEO: “OppFi achieved another record quarter of revenue, profitability, originations, and ending receivables… we are raising earnings guidance for the third time this year” .
- CEO on Model 6.1: “Refit is designed to identify riskier borrower populations better while incrementally improving volume… enhance risk pricing across segments” .
- CFO: “Adjusted net income surged 41%… Adjusted EPS grew to $0.46… GAAP net income benefited from a $32M non-cash gain related to warrants; this does not impact underlying profitability” .
- CFO on capital: “$75M cash and restricted cash; $600M total funding capacity; we repurchased 710k shares for $7.4M in Q3 and an additional 317k shares for $3.2M since quarter-end” .
Q&A Highlights
- Credit tone: Slightly higher early payment issues, selective tightening; expect annualized charge-offs as % of revenue to decline y/y; focus on dynamic risk-based pricing and recoveries to preserve unit economics .
- Yield expectations: Seasonally lower yields in Q3; management anticipates stabilization and rebound in Q4 under risk-based pricing .
- Marketing: Direct mail early-stage at 4.2% of originations with potential to scale; connected TV testing underway; CAC up $20–$30 per with acceptable returns, especially for lower-risk segments .
- Recoveries: Strong recoveries sustained for two years, performing at/above plan, embedded in unit economics .
- Capital allocation: Ongoing buybacks when shares are undervalued; active M&A evaluation; balanced growth and profitability priorities .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Profitability beat: Primary/Adjusted EPS materially outperformed consensus; revenue was slightly above expectations — implies upward estimate revisions focused on EPS/margins rather than top line. Bold: EPS beat of $0.14 vs $0.32* .
- Guidance momentum: Third raise in 2025 (ANI/EPS) signals confidence in originations growth, automation, and cost control — a positive narrative driver near term .
- Credit managed actively: While charge-offs ticked up seasonally, Model 6.1 and risk-based pricing/tightening aim to preserve unit economics; watch Q4 loss rates vs management’s annualized downtrend assertion .
- Funding tailwind: New $150M facility at lower spread enhances interest expense trajectory; supports receivables expansion without heavy equity needs .
- Operating leverage intact: Expense ratio improvements (and lower interest expense) continue to drive net revenue and adjusted profitability; watch LOLA migration timing for incremental gains .
- Capital returns: Ongoing buybacks post-Q3 underscore management’s view of undervaluation; potential M&A optionality for multi-product expansion .
- Trading setup: Near-term catalysts include Q4 yield stabilization, confirmation of credit trends, and LOLA progress; guidance credibility and cost-of-funds reduction are supportive to multiple expansion.
Implications vs Estimates and Trajectory
- Estimates likely need to move up for EPS while revenue remains close to prior forecasts; durability of margin improvements (expense and funding) plus recoveries underpin EPS upside bias .
- Monitor seasonal credit in Q4 and the effect of risk-based pricing; any deviation from the expected annualized downtrend in charge-offs vs revenue would be a key risk to EPS trajectory .
- Execution on connected TV/direct mail and LOLA migration may extend automation benefits and originations quality, supporting 2026 double-digit growth ambitions (credit permitting) .
