Open Lending Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

August 4, 2022

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Open Lending Corporation (Nasdaq: LPRO) (the “Company” or “Open Lending”), a leading provider of lending enablement and risk analytics solutions to financial institutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2022.

“Our business has performed well during the quarter, despite industry headwinds,” said John Flynn, Chairman and CEO of Open Lending. “We remain focused on what we can control, including investing in our go-to-market sales strategy to capture more of our significant and growing TAM and maintaining financial flexibility with a strong balance sheet and cash position. In Q2 we added 18 new customers, including 10 lenders that began certifying their first loans in the quarter. We also further penetrated our existing customer base, with our top 10 non-OEM customers increasing their certification volume by 33% compared to Q221.”

“While we continue to be confident in the resiliency of our business and remain excited about our long-term opportunity, we are updating our guidance for the year to take into account the short-term headwinds surrounding the auto lending industry. Despite this, our current expectations for 2022 auto loan originations at Open Lending are projected to be in line with 2021, while the current run-rates at many of the universal banks imply that their auto loan originations will be down over 20% year over year,” concluded Flynn.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Highlights

  • The Company facilitated 44,531 certified loans during the second quarter of 2022, compared to 46,408 certified loans in the second quarter of 2021
  • Total revenue was $52.0 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2021
  • Gross profit was $47.0 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $57.0 million in the second quarter of 2021
  • Net income was $23.1 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $76.0 million in the second quarter of 2021
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $34.0 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $46.1 million in the second quarter of 2021

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of this measure and how it is calculated is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

2022 Outlook
Based on the first half of 2022 results and trends into third quarter 2022, the Company is revising its guidance ranges as follows:

  Full Year 2022 Outlook
Total Certified Loans 155,000 - 185,000
Total Revenue $175 - 205 million
Adjusted EBITDA $110 - 135 million
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow(a) $115 - 145 million
  1. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, minus CAPEX, +/- change in contract assets.

The guidance provided above includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. While the financial guidance takes into account the continuing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the pandemic has been unprecedented and the future effect of the pandemic on the global economy and our financial results remains uncertain, and our actual results may differ materially. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

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 market trends, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on factors impacting the Company’s business, the Company’s new lender pipeline, consumer behavior and demand for automotive loans, as well as future financial performance under the heading “2022 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,” 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 predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the Company’s control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market, political and business conditions; the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer behavior; applicable taxes, inflation, supply chain disruptions including global hostilities and responses thereto, interest rates and the regulatory environment; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which Open Lending is, or may become a party; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination with Nebula Acquisition Corporation (“Business Combination”); 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, 2021 and our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that they currently believe 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. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. 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. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted operating cash flows internally in analyzing our financial results and believes these measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

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, these measures provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain non-recurring variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, gain on extinguishment of tax receivable agreement and loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted operating cash flows is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, minus CAPEX, +/- change in contract assets.

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.
