“We delivered another quarter of great results with robust growth in members, products, and cross-buy. We generated record adjusted net revenue, which was up 50% year-over-year, and our eighth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, which doubled sequentially. While the political, fiscal, and economic landscapes continue to shift around us, we have maintained strong and consistent momentum in our business. We built our products and services to provide durable growth and profitability, and that is what we are delivering,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi Technologies, Inc. “The depth and breadth of our portfolio allows us to allocate resources toward the best growth opportunities across our diverse offerings, which has enabled us to exceed our performance targets despite continued headwinds in certain businesses. Strength across all three of our business segments — Lending, Technology Platform and Financial Services — drove our record second quarter adjusted net revenue of $356 million and adjusted EBITDA of over $20 million.”

Noto continued: “Our strong momentum in member, product and cross-buy growth reflects the benefits of our broad product suite and unique Financial Services Productivity Loop (FSPL) strategy. We added over 450,000 new members, our second-highest member growth quarter, and ended with over 4.3 million total members, up 69% year-over-year. We also added over 702,000 new products, our second-highest product growth quarter, and ended with nearly 6.6 million total products, a 79% annual increase.”

Noto concluded: “Our bank charter is enabling new flexibility that has proven even more valuable in light of the current macro environment, and the economic benefits are already starting to materialize and positively impact our operating and financial results. Deposits grew 135% during the quarter to $2.7 billion at quarter-end and have accelerated since we raised the maximum APY to 1.80% in July from 1.50% in June. As a result of this growth in high quality deposits, we have benefited from a lower cost of funding for our loans. Our deposit funding also increases our flexibility to capture additional net interest margin (NIM) and optimize returns, a critical advantage in light of notable macro uncertainty. In its first full quarter of operations, SoFi Bank, N.A. generated approximately $25 million of positive GAAP net income at a 13% after-tax margin.

Consolidated Results

Second quarter total GAAP net revenue of increased 57% to $362.5 million from the prior-year period’s $231.3 million. Second quarter adjusted net revenue of $356.1 million was up 50% from the same prior-year period’s $237.2 million. Strength in all three of SoFi’s business segments — Lending, Technology Platform and Financial Services — drove the robust year-over-year growth.

SoFi recorded a GAAP net loss of $95.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, a significant improvement from the prior-year period’s net loss of $165.3 million. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million was positive for the eighth consecutive quarter, and increased 134% sequentially.

Member and Product Growth

SoFi achieved its second-highest member growth and second-highest product growth ever in the second quarter of 2022. New member additions of over 450,000 brought total members to 4.3 million by quarter-end, up nearly 1.8 million, or 69%, from the end of 2021’s second quarter.

New product additions of over 702,000 in the second quarter were SoFi’s second highest quarterly result. Total products of nearly 6.6 million at quarter-end were up 79% from 3.7 million at the same prior year quarter-end.

In the Financial Services segment, total products increased by 100% year-over-year, to 5.4 million from 2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. SoFi Money (inclusive of SoFi Money cash management accounts and SoFi Checking and Savings accounts) grew 92% year-over-year to 1.8 million products, followed by SoFi Invest, which also nearly doubled during the period to approximately 2.0 million products, and SoFi Relay, which grew 115% year-over year to 1.3 million products.

Lending products rose 22% year over year, up from the first quarter’s 20% year-over-year growth, which represented the fifth straight quarter of accelerating year-over-year growth, driven primarily by continued record demand for personal loans.

Technology Platform enabled accounts increased by 48% year over year to 116.6 million, due to both diverse new client additions and growth among existing clients.

Lending Segment Results

Lending segment GAAP and adjusted net revenues were $257.1 million and $250.7 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022, up 55% and 46%, respectively. Higher loan balances drove strong growth in net interest income, and record personal loan originations and hedge gains drove growth in noninterest income.

Lending segment second quarter contribution profit of $142.0 million increased 59% from $89.2 million in the same prior-year period. Contribution margin using Lending adjusted net revenue increased to 57% from 52% in the same prior-year period. These advances reflect SoFi’s ability to capitalize on continued strong demand for its Lending products, while improving upon the member experience and realizing new efficiencies, at the same high credit underwriting standards.

Second quarter Lending segment total origination volume increased 9% year-over-year, driven by continued strong demand for personal loans.

Record personal loan originations of nearly $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2022 were up nearly $1.2 billion, or 91%, year-over-year, more than doubling pre-pandemic 2019 quarterly averages. This outperformance resulted from years of investment in technology to automate and accelerate the application-to-approval process for qualified borrowers and constant testing of risk controls and underwriting models to maintain the highest credit quality. Second quarter student loan volume of nearly $399 million was down to 25% of the average pre-pandemic volume as the moratorium on student loan payments continues to weigh on the business.

Technology Platform Segment Results

Technology Platform segment net revenue of $84 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased 85% year-over-year, and includes record Galileo revenues, which were up 39% year-over-year, and the first full quarter of contribution from Technisys. Contribution profit of nearly $22 million increased 68% year over year, for a margin of 26% for the segment. On an organic basis, Galileo’s contribution margin was 33% versus 29% for the same prior-year period. As previously stated, Management intends to continue investing heavily in the Technology Platform segment to capture its significant and accelerating secular growth opportunities across client verticals, products and geographies. We anticipate operating this business in the 20–30% contribution margin range for the foreseeable future as a result of these investments.

Financial Services Segment Results

Financial Services segment net revenue increased 78% in the second quarter of 2022 to $30.4 million from the prior year period’s total of $17.0 million, demonstrating SoFi’s rapid progress in monetizing this segment. We were able to achieve this growth despite having a tough comparison quarter. In the second quarter of 2021, Financial Services net revenue included $.4 million of episodic revenues from advisory and IPO underwriting services. Excluding that $4.4 million from the prior-year quarter, our year-over-year growth would have been 140%.

The Financial Services segment contribution loss of $53.7 million was $29.0 million higher than the prior-year quarter’s $24.7 million loss, largely due to the credit card business and the building of current expected credit loss (CECL) reserves. The absolute amount of reserves is expected to increase as the business continues to grow and scale. Management is pleased with the pace of customer acquisition and expected payback periods based on existing vintages and new member profiles across the spectrum of financial services products, though the aggregate contribution profit remains negative due to acquisition costs from the volume of new members acquired as the business scales.

By continuously innovating for members with new and relevant offerings, features and rewards, SoFi grew total Financial Services products by approximately 2.7 million, or 100%, year-over-year in the second quarter of 2022, bringing the total to approximately 5.4 million.

Most notably, upon securing a bank charter in the first quarter of 2022, SoFi launched a new Checking and Savings offering, which today has an APY of up to 1.80%, no minimum balance requirement, a host of free features and a unique rewards program.

Guidance and Outlook

Second quarter 2022 adjusted net revenue of $356 million exceeded quarterly guidance of $330 million to $340 million by 8% at the low end and 5% at the high end. Adjusted EBITDA of $20 million for the quarter exceeded quarterly guidance of $5 million to $15 million by 35% at the high end.

Management expects a continuation of strong growth in the second half of the year, with expected adjusted net revenue of $830 million to $835 million, up 49% to 50% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA of $75 million to $80 million. Management projects that a more significant portion of the second half revenue and EBITDA results will be generated during the fourth quarter.

Management now expects full-year 2022 adjusted net revenue of $1.508-1.513 billion (up from $1.505-1.510 billion previously) and full-year adjusted EBITDA of $104-109 million (up from $100-105 million previously).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents information about our adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as supplements to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, help better assess our overall liquidity position, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as total net revenue and net income (loss). Other companies may not use these non-GAAP measures or may use similar measures that are defined in a different manner. Therefore, SoFi’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in Table 2 to the “Financial Tables” herein.

Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the GAAP financial measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be material.
