OppFi Inc. (“OppFi”), formerly FG New America Acquisition Corp. (“FGNA”), collectively with its subsidiaries (“Company”), is a tech-enabled, mission-driven specialty finance platform that broadens the reach of community banks to extend credit access to everyday Americans. OppFi’s primary products are offered by its OppLoans platform. OppFi’s products also previously included its payroll deduction secured installment loan product, SalaryTap, and credit card product, OppFi Card.
On July 20, 2021 (“Closing Date”), the Company completed a business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2021, by and among Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi-LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, OppFi Shares, LLC (“OFS”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Todd Schwartz (“Members’ Representative”), in his capacity as the representative of the members of OppFi-LLC (“Members”) immediately prior to the closing (“Closing”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.” At the Closing, FGNA changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and redeemable warrants exercisable for Class A Common Stock (“Public Warrants”) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively.
Following the Closing, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the Company are held by OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries, and OppFi’s only direct assets consist of Class A common units of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi Units”). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OppFi owned approximately 23.9% and 17.0% of the OppFi Units, respectively, and controls OppFi-LLC as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi A&R LLCA”). All remaining OppFi Units (“Retained OppFi Units”) are beneficially owned by the Members. OFS holds a controlling voting interest in OppFi through its ownership of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of OppFi (“Class V Voting Stock”) in an amount equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units and therefore has the ability to control OppFi-LLC.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the 2023 Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OppFi and OppFi-LLC with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the VIEs. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Opportunity Financial SMB, LLC (“OppFi-SMB”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of OppFi-LLC.
Segments: Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. OppFi’s Chief Executive Officer is considered to be the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment.

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Use of estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The judgements, assumptions, and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and qualitative factors. The areas subject to significant estimation techniques are the determination of fair value of installment finance receivables and warrants, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation expense, income tax provision and equity method investment. For the aforementioned estimates, it is reasonably possible the recorded amounts or related disclosures could significantly change in the near future as new information is available.
Accounting policies: There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the 2023 Annual Report.
Participation rights purchase obligations: OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain banks insured by the FDIC. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated, and OppFi-LLC’s participation rights are reduced by the percentage of the finance receivables retained by the banks. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, finance receivables originated through the bank partnership arrangements totaled 100% and 96%, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unpaid principal balance of finance receivables outstanding for purchase was $16.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
Equity method investment: The Company accounts for its equity method investments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for equity investment in a company over which the Company has significant influence but does not own a controlling financial interest. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment, including transaction costs, is recorded at cost and the investment is subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share of the investee’s earnings or losses and amortization of basis differences. Basis differences represent differences between the cost of the investment and the underlying equity in net assets of the investment and are amortized into losses from equity method investments over the useful lives of the underlying assets that gave rise to them. Equity method goodwill is not amortized or tested for impairment; instead the equity method investment is tested for impairment.
On July 31, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), OppFi-SMB acquired a 35% equity interest in Bitty Holdings, LLC (“Bitty”) for (i) a cash payment of $15.2 million and (ii) 734,851 OppFi Units, valued at approximately $2.8 million as of the Acquisition Date. The Company also incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.7 million. OppFi-SMB also holds call options issued by Bitty, which entitle OppFi-SMB to purchase additional equity interests of 30% and 35% of Bitty within a specific time period from the date that is three and six years from the Acquisition Date, respectively, at six times the trailing twelve months post-tax earnings of Bitty as of June 30, 2027 and June 30, 2030, respectively. The Company determined that it does not have a controlling financial interest in Bitty but does exercise significant influence and therefore, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s proportionate share of Bitty’s earnings, net of tax, was $0.6 million and is included in income from equity method investment on the consolidated statements of operations. The basis difference between the Company’s carrying value and proportionate share of Bitty’s book value is primarily related to consideration paid in excess of the Company’s proportionate share of Bitty’s book value on the Acquisition Date.
Capitalized technology: The Company capitalized software costs associated with application development totaling $3.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $7.8 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $2.1 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $7.0 million and $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Noncontrolling interests: Noncontrolling interests are held by the Members, who retained 76.1% and 83.0% of the economic ownership percentage of OppFi-LLC as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the consolidated statements of operations.
Costs associated with exit activities: Costs associated with exit activities include contract termination costs and other costs associated with exit activities. In January 2024, the Company completed the previously disclosed wind down and exited its OppFi Card product. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, the Company recognized a liability for $2.9 million for costs related to contracts associated with its OppFi Card product that will continue to be incurred under these contracts for their remaining term without economic benefit to the Company. The Company recorded

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
these costs in exit costs on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s remaining liability totaled $2.2 million, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Emerging growth company: The Company is an emerging growth company as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“Jobs Act”). The Company is permitted to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements apply to private companies. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: None.
Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted: In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The purpose of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional guidance for a period of time related to accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. It is intended to reduce the potential burden of reviewing contract modifications related to discontinued rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The purpose of ASU 2021-01 is to expand guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The purpose of ASU 2022-06 is to defer the effective date of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The purpose of ASU 2023-07 is to provide guidance on new segment disclosures, including significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The purpose of ASU 2023-09 is to provide guidance on the enhanced income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance requires an entity to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The estimated amount of losses included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk was $2.9 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was $11.3 million and $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The credit risk component was driven by the credit loss assumption applied in the discounted cash flow model, particularly the default rate. This assumption was primarily developed based on historical data of the installment loan portfolio.

Share repurchase: On April 9, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had authorized a program to repurchase (the “Repurchase Program”) up to $20.0 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, at the discretion of the management of the Company and in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements, including restrictions in the Company’s existing credit facilities. Repurchases may be made pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1, which would permit Class A Common Stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Repurchase Program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. For each share of Class A Common Stock that the Company repurchases under the Repurchase Program, OppFi-LLC, the Company’s direct subsidiary, will redeem one Class A common unit of OppFi-LLC held by the Company, decreasing the percentage ownership of OppFi-LLC by the Company and relatively increasing the ownership by the other members. The Repurchase Program will expire in April 2027.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, OppFi repurchased 264,995 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock as of September 30, 2024, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $3.82. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,034,710 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock as of September 30, 2024, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.6 million at an average purchase price per share of $3.41. As of September 30, 2024, $16.4 million of the repurchase authorization under the Repurchase Program remained available.
Dividend paid: On May 1, 2024, the Company paid a dividend of $0.12 per share ($2.4 million in the aggregate) to stockholders of record of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on April 19, 2024.
Member Distributions: On May 1, 2024, OppFi-LLC paid a special distribution of $0.12 per share ($10.3 million in the aggregate), which is included in member distributions in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, to holders of record of OppFi Units as of the close of business on April 19, 2024.
Earnout Units: On July 21, 2024, the Company determined that the 25,500,000 earnout Class A common units (the “Earnout Units”) of OppFi-LLC issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, were not earned pursuant to the earnout provisions of the Business Combination Agreement on or prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the closing date of the Business Combination. Accordingly, on such date the Earnout Units were forfeited, for no consideration, by the holders thereof to OppFi-LLC and the 25,500,000 shares of Class V Voting Stock associated with the Earnout Units were forfeited, for no consideration, by OFS to the Company.
Class V Voting Stock: In connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in Bitty, the Company also issued 734,851 shares of Class V Voting Stock to OFS, which number of shares of Class V Voting Stock was equal to the number of OppFi Units issued to Blaze Capital Funding 5, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, as the seller of the Bitty equity interests.

Note 11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $34.4 million, resulting in a 6.7% effective income tax rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $16.0 million, resulting in a 2.8% effective income tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $3.6 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $73.5 million, resulting in a 4.9% effective tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $38.8 million, resulting in a 3.3% effective income tax rate.
OppFi’s effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, differ from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the noncontrolling interest in the Up-C partnership structure, nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, warrant liability, and discrete tax items. The warrant liability is recorded by OppFi and is a fair market value adjustment of the warrant liability and is a permanent difference between GAAP and taxable income, which impacts OppFi’s effective income tax rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, one discrete item was recorded of $0.1 million related to stock compensation, which in total decreased the effective tax rate by 0.3%. Excluding the aforementioned discrete item, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 would have been 7.0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, one discrete item was recorded consisting of a $45 thousand benefit related to stock compensation, which in total decreased the effective tax rate by 0.3%. Excluding the aforementioned discrete item, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 would have been 3.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two discrete items were recorded consisting of $17 thousand expense related to a prior period adjustment based on FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” and $0.3 million benefit related to stock compensation, which in total decreased the effective tax rate by 0.4%. Excluding the aforementioned discrete items, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, would have been 5.3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, two discrete items were recorded consisting of a $7 thousand expense related to a prior period state tax adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and a $48 thousand benefit related to stock compensation, which in total decreased the effective tax rate by 0.1%. Excluding the aforementioned discrete items, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, would have been 3.4%.
OppFi is subject to a 21% federal income tax rate on its activities and its distributive share of income from OppFi-LLC, as well as various state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, OppFi owned 23.9% and 15.7%, respectively, of the outstanding units of OppFi-LLC and considers appropriate tax accounting only on this portion of OppFi-LLC’s activity. Additionally, OppFi’s income tax rate varies from the 21% statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to a permanent difference related to the adjustment of the warrant liabilities recorded by OppFi. This fair value adjustment of the warrant liabilities represents a large portion of OppFi’s pre-tax book income or loss and is a permanent difference between GAAP and taxable income, which impacts OppFi’s effective income tax rate.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, OppFi recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $55 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively, related to research and development credits allocated from OppFi-LLC. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result

in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value on a nonrecurring basis: The Company has no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances.
Fair value measurement on a recurring basis: The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):
The Company is vigorously defending all legal proceedings and regulatory matters. Except as described below, management does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings and regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On March 7, 2022, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief (“Complaint”) against the Commissioner (in her official capacity) of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation of the State of California (“Defendant”) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division (“Court”). The Complaint seeks a declaration that the interest rate caps set forth in the California Financing Law, as amended by the Fair Access to Credit Act, a/k/a AB 539 (“CFL”), do not apply to loans that are originated by the Company’s federally-insured state-chartered bank partners and serviced through the Company’s technology and service platform pursuant to a contractual arrangement with each such bank (“Program”). The Complaint further seeks injunctive relief against the Defendant, preventing the Defendant from enforcing interest rate caps under the CFL against the Company based on activities related to the Program. On April 8, 2022, the Defendant filed a cross-complaint against the Company attempting to enforce the CFL against the Company and, among other things, void loans that are originated by the Company’s federally-insured state-chartered bank partners through the Program in California and seek financial penalties against the Company. On October 17, 2022, the Company filed a cross-complaint against the Defendant seeking declaratory relief for issuing an underground regulation to determine the “true lender” under the CFL without complying with California’s Administrative Procedures Act. On January 30, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the Company from providing services to FinWise in connection with loans made to California consumers to the extent that such loans are in excess of California’s interest rate caps. On September 26, 2023, the Court sustained the Defendant’s demurrer to the Company’s cross-complaint with leave to amend. On October 26, 2023, the Company filed its amended cross-complaint. On October 30, 2023, the Defendant’s motion for preliminary injunction was denied. On November 27, 2023, the Defendant filed her answer to the Company’s cross-complaint. The Company intends to continue to aggressively prosecute the claims set forth in the Complaint and vigorously defend itself and its position as the matter proceeds through the court process. The Company believes that the Defendant’s position is without merit as explained in the Complaint.
On July 20, 2023, a stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Case No. 2023-0737) on behalf of a purported class of Company stockholders naming certain of FGNA’s former directors and officers and its controlling stockholder, FG New America Investors, LLC (the “Sponsor”), as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of FGNA stemming from FGNA’s merger with OppFi-LLC and that the defendants were unjustly enriched. The lawsuit seeks, among other relief, unspecified damages, redemption rights, and attorneys’ fees. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s current officers or directors are parties to the lawsuit. The Company is obligated to indemnify certain of the defendants in the action. The Company has tendered defense of this action under its directors’ and officers' insurance policy. Due to the early stage of this case, neither the likelihood that a loss, if any, will be realized, nor an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, can be determined.
Related party transactions: In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Members and the Members’ Representative (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for payment to the Members of 90% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash.
Note 14. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of finance receivables. As of September 30, 2024, consumers living primarily in Texas, Florida and Virginia made up approximately 14%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. As of September 30, 2024, there were no other states that made up more than 10% or more of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. As of

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
December 31, 2023, consumers living primarily in Texas, Florida and Virginia made up approximately 16%, 12%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. Furthermore, such consumers’ ability to honor their installment contracts may be affected by economic conditions in these areas. The Company is also exposed to a concentration of credit risk inherent in providing alternate financing programs to borrowers who cannot obtain traditional bank financing.
Note 15. Retirement Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan (“401(k) Plan”) for its employees. Full time employees (except certain non-resident aliens) and others, as defined in the plan document, who are age 21 and older are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan participants may elect to contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” and “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”), for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
OVERVIEW
OppFi is a tech-enabled, mission-driven specialty finance platform that broadens the reach of community banks to extend credit access to everyday Americans. The Company’s platform powers banks to offer accessible lending products through its proprietary technology and top-rated customer experience. OppFi’s primary mission is to facilitate financial inclusion and credit access to the 63 million everyday Americans who are credit marginalized with digital specialty finance products and an unwavering commitment to its customers.
OppFi works with banks to facilitate short-term credit options for everyday Americans who lack access to mainstream financial products. OppFi’s specialty finance platform focuses on helping these consumers rebuild their financial health. Customers on OppFi’s platform benefit from a highly automated, transparent, efficient, and fully digital experience. The banks that work with OppFi benefit from its turn-key, outsourced marketing, data science, and proprietary technology to digitally acquire, underwrite, and service these consumers.
OppFi’s primary products are offered by its OppLoans platform. Customers on this platform are U.S. consumers who are employed, have bank accounts, and generally earn median wages. The average installment loan facilitated by OppFi is approximately $1,500, payable in installments and with an average contractual term of 11 months. Neither SalaryTap nor OppFi Card contributed meaningfully to OppFi’s results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
OppFi also holds 35% of the outstanding equity securities of Bitty Holdings, LLC (“Bitty”), a credit access company that offers revenue-based financing and other working capital solutions to small businesses.
On the Closing Date, OppFi completed the Business Combination. At the Closing, FGNA changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi’s Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “OppFi” or the “Company” refer to OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing, or to OppFi Inc. and its subsidiaries from and after the Closing. See Item 1. “Organization and Nature of Operations” for more information.

Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024, for all periods presented, we have updated our presentation and calculation of Adjusted EBT, and corresponding presentations and calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, to no longer add back debt issuance cost amortization.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 4, 2024, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $20.0 million in the aggregate of shares of our Class A Common Stock. This new share repurchase program will expire in April 2027. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, OppFi repurchased 264,995 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock as of September 30, 2024, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million at an average purchase price per share of $3.82. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,034,710 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock as of September 30, 2024, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.6 million at an average purchase price per share of $3.41. As of September 30, 2024, $16.4 million of the repurchase authorization under the Repurchase Program remained available.
Bitty Purchase Agreement
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2024 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), to acquire 35% of the outstanding equity securities of Bitty, a credit access company that offers revenue-based financing and other working capital solutions. The acquisition closed on July 31,2024 (the “Acquisition Date”). The aggregate consideration paid in connection with the acquisition consisted of (i) a cash payment of approximately $15.3 million and (ii) 734,851 OppFi Units, valued at approximately $2.7 million.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, one of our subsidiaries has (a) the right to purchase an additional 30% of the outstanding equity securities of Bitty within a specific time period from the date that is three years from the Acquisition Date, and (b) the right to purchase all of the remaining equity securities of Bitty within a specific time period from the date that is six years from the Acquisition Date.

KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS
We regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor. The following tables and related discussion set forth key financial and operating metrics for the Company’s operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The key performance metrics presented are for the OppLoans product only and exclude the SalaryTap and OppFi Card products.
Total Net Originations
We measure originations to assess the growth trajectory and overall size of our loan portfolio. There is a direct correlation between origination growth and revenue growth. We include both bank partner originations as well as those originated by us directly. Loans are considered to be originated when the contract is signed between us and the prospective borrower. The vast majority of our originations ultimately disburse to a borrower, but disbursement timing lags that of originations. Originations may be useful to an investor because they help understand the growth trajectory of our revenues.
The following tables present total net originations (defined as gross originations net of transferred balance on refinanced loans), total retained net originations (defined as the portion of total net originations as defined above with respect to which the Company ultimately purchased a receivable from bank partners or originated directly), percentage of net originations by bank partners, and percentage of net originations by new loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Total net originations increased to $218.8 million and $587.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from $195.7 million and $555.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The 11.8% and 5.7%increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were a result of bank partners’ expansion into additional states, increased demand through certain marketing partners, and enhanced lead evaluation capabilities driving higher quality applications. Total retained net originations increased to $198.4 million and decreased to $540.3 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from $190.7 million and $541.7 millionfor thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The 4.0% increase for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was a result of the originations growth outpacing the growth in the percentage of loans retained by our bank partners, while the 0.3%decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributed to one of our bank partners retaining a higher percentage of loans originated in certain states.
Total net originations by our bank partners increased to 100.0% and 100.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from 97.9% and 96.9%for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company ceased directly originating loans and transitioned completely to a servicing / facilitation model for bank partners.
Total net originations of new loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 46.8% and 44.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from 44.0% and 43.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increases are a result of accelerating growth from our bank partners’ expansion into additional states, increased demand through certain marketing partners, and enhanced lead evaluation capabilities driving higher quality applications.
Ending Receivables
Ending receivables are defined as the unpaid principal balances of loans at the end of the reporting period. The following table presents ending receivables as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
Ending receivables decreased to $413.7 million as of September 30, 2024 from $415.9 million as of September 30, 2023. The 0.5% decrease was primarily driven by one of our bank partners retaining a higher percentage of loans originated in certain states.
Average Yield
Average yield represents total revenue from the period as a percent of average receivables and is presented as an annualized metric. Receivables are defined as the unpaid principal balances of loans. The following tables present average yield for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

The 4.2% and 3.5% increases were driven by a decrease in delinquent loans in the portfolio that were not accruing interest throughout the period as well as an increase in the average statutory rate from a relative shift away from states with lower interest rates.
Net Charge-Offs as a Percentage of Total Revenue and Net Charge-Offs as a Percentage of Average Receivables
Net charge-offs as a percentage of total revenue and net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables represent total charge-offs from the period less recoveries as a percentage of total revenue and as a percentage of average receivables. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables is presented as an annualized metric. Receivables are defined as the unpaid principal balances of loans. Our charge-off policy is based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan-by-loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when we receive notification of a customer bankruptcy, or when finance receivables are otherwise deemed uncollectible.
The following tables present net charge-offs as a percentage of total revenue and as an annualized percentage of average receivables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

The decreases in net charge-offs as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are a result of a higher yielding portfolio for the reasons discussed above in “Average Yield” combined
with both lower gross charge-offs and higher recoveries driving lower levels of net charge-offs compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables decreased to 45.9% and 50.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from 54.5% and 54.1%for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The decreases in net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are a result of both lower gross charge-offs and higher recoveries driving lower levels of net charge-offs compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Auto-Approval Rate
Auto-approval rate is calculated by taking the number of approved loans that are not decisioned by a loan processor or underwriter (auto-approval) divided by the total number of loans approved.

Total Revenue
Total revenue consists mainly of revenue earned from interest on receivables from outstanding loans based on the interest method. We also earn revenue from referral fees related primarily to our “Turn-Up” program, which represented 0.2% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Total revenue increased by $3.4 million, or 2.6%, to $136.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $133.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to a higher average statutory rate for the loans in the portfolio as well as stronger payment activity driving a higher yield on the balances.
Change in Fair Value and Provision for Credit Losses on Finance Receivables
Commencing on January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option on the OppLoans installment product. To derive the fair value, we utilize discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require based on the risk characteristics of the loans. We did not elect the fair value option on our SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables, which are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses.
Change in fair value consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period on the OppLoans installment product, net of recoveries, plus the change in the fair value on the installment loans portfolio. Change in fair value totaled $45.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was comprised of $55.6 million of gross charge-offs, offset by $8.8 million of recoveries and a positive fair value adjustment of $1.4 million, down from $57.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was comprised of $62.6 million of gross charge-offs and a negative fair value adjustment of $1.0 million, offset by $6.3 million of recoveries. The fair value adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 had a positive impact due to the increase in receivables over the period with a relatively flat fair value mark.
Provision for credit losses on finance receivables consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in allowance for credit losses for our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products. Provision for credit losses on finance receivables decreased by $192 thousand to $3 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is largely attributed to very few remaining active SalaryTap finance receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Net Revenue
Net revenue is equal to total revenue less the change in fair value and provision for credit losses on finance receivables. Net revenue increased by $15.5 million, or 20.5%, to $91.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $75.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was due to both the increase in total revenue and the decrease in change in fair value and provision for credit losses on finance receivables.
Expenses
Expenses includes costs related to salaries and employee benefits, interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs, sales and marketing, customer operations, technology, products, and analytics, and general, administrative, and other expenses.
Expenses decreased by $4.0 million, or 6.7%, to $56.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $60.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in expenses was primarily driven by reduced payment processing fees related to a renegotiation, lower salary expenses from headcount efficiency, and lower capitalized technology amortization expense. The decrease was partially offset by higher professional fees. Expenses as a percent of total revenue decreased from 45.1% to 41.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income from Operations
Income from operations is the difference between net revenue and expenses. Income from operations increased by $19.5 million to $35.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from income from operations of $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was driven by higher total revenue, lower change in fair value and provision for credit losses on finance receivables, and lower expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the reasons stated above.
The fair value of warrant liabilities increased by $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. These warrant liabilities arose with respect to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of FGNA and are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.
Income from Equity Method Investment
On July 31, 2024, OppFi entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire 35% of the outstanding equity securities of Bitty. OppFi determined that it does not have a controlling financial interest in Bitty, but does exercise significant influence, and therefore the investment was accounted for under the equity method. OppFi’s proportionate share of Bitty’s earnings was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other Income
Other income totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Other income for both periods was comprised of $0.1 million in income related to the Company subleasing one floor of its office space.
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes is the sum of income from operations, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, income from equity method investment, and other income. Income before income taxes increased by $18.4 million, or 114.8%, to $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 for the reasons stated above.
Income Tax Expense
OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is largely attributed to OppFi Inc.’s increasing ownership in OppFi-LLC.
Net Income
Net income is the difference between income before income taxes and income tax expense. Net income increased by $16.5million to $32.1million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from net income of $15.5million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 for the reasons stated above.
Net Income Attributable to OppFi Inc.
Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. was $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, up from net income attributable to OppFi Inc. of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. represents the income solely attributable to stockholders of OppFi Inc. As a result of the Company’s Up-C structure, the underlying income or expense components that are attributable to OppFi Inc. are generally expense items related to OppFi Inc.’s status as a public company, the income or expense for the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to the Company’s warrants, and the Company’s approximate percentage interest in the noncontrolling interest. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the underlying income or expense components attributable to OppFi Inc. include OppFi Inc.'s percentage interest in the income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $8.7 million, partially offset by the loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1.4 million, income tax expense of $2.3 million, general and administrative expense of $0.6 million, and board fees of $0.1 million, for total net income attributable to OppFi Inc. of $4.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the underlying income or expense components that are attributable to OppFi Inc. include OppFi Inc.’s percentage interest in the income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $2.4 million and the gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.3 million, partially offset by income tax expense of $0.4 million and general and administrative expense and board fees of $0.1 million, for net income attributable to OppFi Inc. of $2.2 million.
Diluted Earnings per Share
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s outstanding shares of Class V Voting Stock were excluded in computing the diluted earnings per share as the inclusion of these shares would have had an antidilutive effect under the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, shares of the Company’s Class V Voting Stock are assumed to
be exchanged, together with OppFi Units, into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the beginning of the period.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
The following table presents our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share data). Certain columns and rows may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.
Provision for credit losses on finance receivables consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in allowance for credit losses for our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products. Provision for credit losses on finance receivables decreased by $4.1 million to $34 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is largely attributed to very few remaining active SalaryTap finance receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, while provision for credit losses was increased during nine months ended September 30, 2023 to account for the then-impending closure of OppFi Card finance receivables.
Net Revenue
Net revenue is equal to total revenue less the change in fair value and provision for credit losses on finance receivables. Net revenue increased by $33.2 million, or 16.0%, to $240.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $207.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was due to both the increase in total revenue and the decrease in change in fair value and provision for credit losses on finance receivables.
Expenses
Expenses includes costs related to salaries and employee benefits, interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs, sales and marketing, customer operations, technology, products, and analytics, and other general and administrative expenses.
Expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 0.6%, to $170.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $169.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by a one-time expense associated with the exit activities from the OppFi Card product, a one-time adjustment as a result of the reclassification of OppFi Card assets from held for sale to held for investment at amortized cost that offset expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and higher professional fees. The increase was partially offset by lower direct marketing spend expense resulting from a shift towards relatively lower-cost loans, reduced payment processing fees related to a renegotiation, and lower capitalized technology amortization expense. Despite the overall increase in expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, expenses as a percent of total revenue decreased from 45.2% to 43.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Other income totaled $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other income includes $0.2 million in income related to the Company subleasing one floor of its office space. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other income includes $0.2 million in income related to the Company subleasing one floor of its office space and $0.1 million from the gain on partial loan forgiveness of the secured borrowing payable.
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes is the sum of income from operations, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, income from equity method investment, and other income. Income before income taxes increased by $34.6 million, or 89.2%, to $73.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for the reasons stated above.
Income Tax Expense
OppFi recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is largely attributed to OppFi Inc.’s increasing ownership in OppFi-LLC.
Net Income
Net income is the difference between income before income taxes and income tax expense. Net income increased by $32.3 millionto $69.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from net income of $37.5million for the for the reasons stated above.
Net Income Attributable to OppFi Inc.
Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. was $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, up from $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. represents the income solely attributable to stockholders of OppFi Inc. As a result of the Company’s Up-C structure, the underlying income or expense components that are attributable to OppFi Inc. are generally expense items related to OppFi Inc.’s status as a public company, the income or expense for the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to the Company’s warrants, and the Company’s approximate percentage interest in the noncontrolling interest. The underlying income or expense components that are attributable to OppFi Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are OppFi Inc.’s percentage interest in the income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $14.9 million and gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2.7 million, partially offset by income tax expense of $3.6 million, general and administrative expense of $0.8 million, and board fees of $0.3 million, for total
net income attributable to OppFi Inc. of $12.9 million. The underlying income or expense components that are attributable to OppFi Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are OppFi Inc.’s percentage interest in the income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $5.6 million and gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.8 million, partially offset by income tax expense of $1.2 million, general and administrative expense of $0.3 million, and board fees of $0.3 million, for total net income attributable to OppFi Inc. of $4.6 million.
Diluted Earnings per Share
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s outstanding shares of Class V Voting Stock were excluded in computing the diluted earnings per share as the inclusion of these shares would have had an antidilutive effect under the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, shares of the Company’s Class V Voting Stock are assumed to be exchanged, together with OppFi Units, into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the beginning of the period.
CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS
Comparison as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023
The following table presents our condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands). Certain columns and rows may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.
Total cash and restricted cash increased by $0.3 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 driven by an increase in received payments relative to originations, partially offset by the cash consideration for the acquisition of the equity interest in Bitty. Finance receivables at fair value decreased by $1.9 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 mainly driven by one of our bank partners retaining a higher percentage of loans originated in certain states. Finance receivables at amortized cost, net, decreased by $0.1 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 due to the continued rundown of SalaryTap finance receivables. Equity method investment increased by $19.4 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 due to the acquisition of 35% of the outstanding equity securities in Bitty. Other assets decreased by $31 thousand as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 mainly due to a decrease in the operating lease right of use asset of $1.2 million and a decrease in the deferred tax asset of $3.5 million, partially offset by an increase in the settlement receivable of $3.2 million and an increase in property, equipment, and software of $1.1 million.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $4.0 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 driven by an increase in accrued expenses of $3.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million. Other liabilities decreased by $1.2 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 driven by a decrease in the operating lease liability of $1.3 million, partially offset by an increase in the tax receivable agreement liability of $0.1 million. Total debt decreased by $8.6 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 driven by a decrease in the term loan of $9.7 million and notes payable of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in utilization of revolving lines of credit of $2.6 million. Warrant liabilities decreased by $2.8 million due to the decrease in the valuation of the warrants as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. Total stockholders’ equity increased by $26.3 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 driven by net income and stock-based compensation, partially offset by purchases of treasury stock and dividend issuance.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We believe that the provision of non-GAAP financial measures in this report, including Adjusted EBT, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business and useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP measures, should not be considered an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBT and Adjusted Net Income
Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024, for all periods presented, we have updated our presentation and calculation of Adjusted EBT, and the corresponding presentations and calculations of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, to no longer add back debt issuance cost amortization.
Adjusted EBT is a non-GAAP measure defined as our GAAP net income adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as shown below, including income tax expense, other income, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and other addbacks and one-time expenses. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure defined as our Adjusted EBT less pro forma taxes for comparison purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBT and Adjusted Net Income are important measures because they allow management, investors, and our Board to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period by making the adjustments described below.
Adjusted EBT and Adjusted Net Income exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring items (such as severance), non-cash expenditures (such as changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and expenses related to stock compensation), or are not related to our underlying business performance. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a comparative view of expenses that the Company expects to incur on an ongoing basis.
The following tables present reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share data). Certain columns and rows may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.

OppFi believes that its unrestricted cash, undrawn debt and funds from operating income will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs, including repayment of the current portion of its debt as it becomes due, for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on multiple factors, including its revenue growth, aggregate receivables balance, interest expense, working capital requirements, cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities and capital expenditures.
To the extent OppFi’s unrestricted cash balances, funds from operating income and funds from undrawn debt are insufficient to satisfy its liquidity needs in the future, the Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing and may not be able to do so on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when needed, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $229.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was an increase of $15.7 million when compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $213.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cash provided by operating activities increased mainly due to higher net income.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $170.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was a decrease of $9.4 million when compared to net cash used in investing activities of $180.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, mainly due to lower finance receivables originated and acquired and higher finance receivables repaid and recovered, partially offset by the cash consideration for the acquisition of the equity interest in Bitty.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $58.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was an increase of $41.2 million when compared to net cash used in financing activities of $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in distributions to members of OppFi-LLC, net payments of senior debt, repurchases of common stock, and dividends paid on common stock.
Our corporate credit facilities consist of term loans and revolving loan facilities that we have drawn on to finance our operations and for other corporate purposes. These borrowings are generally secured by all the assets of OppFi-LLC that have not otherwise been sold or pledged to secure our structured finance facilities, such as assets belonging to certain of the special purpose entity subsidiaries of OppFi-LLC (“SPEs”). In addition, we, through our SPEs, have entered into warehouse credit facilities to partially finance the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners through our platform, which credit facilities are secured by the loans or participation rights. For a detailed discussion on financing arrangements refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.The following is a summary of OppFi’s outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, including borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

LIBOR Transition
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. On December 31, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced plans to cease publication for all USD LIBOR tenors (except the one- and two-week tenors, which ceased on December 31, 2021) on June 30, 2023. The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. As of September 30, 2024, all of our LIBOR-based credit facilities have been transitioned to the SOFR. The replacement of LIBOR did not have any material effect on our liquidity or the financial terms of our credit facilities.
There have been no material changes to the information on critical accounting estimates in our 2023 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024 (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our 2023 Annual Report.
Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Notwithstanding the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the consolidated financial statements of the Company as included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
As discussed in Part II, Item 9A in our 2023 Annual Report, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the existence of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to information technology general controls associated with the Company’s financially relevant information systems. Management determined that the Company’s user access controls designed to ensure appropriate segregation of duties, adequate restriction of users and privileged access to the Company’s financially relevant information systems were not operating effectively and the Company’s user access control designed to ensure appropriate segregation of duties was not designed effectively. Management believes that compensating controls are in place and operating effectively to mitigate the risks associated with the identified material weakness as it is being remediated (as described below).
Remediation Plan for Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is committed to remediating the material weakness described above as promptly as possible. Management believes that certain of the controls in question are designed effectively and that these controls, when operating effectively, will provide appropriate remediation of part of the material weakness. In particular, as part of its remediation plan, the Company is implementing comprehensive access control protocols in order to implement restrictions on user and privileged access to the Company’s financially relevant information systems and will be providing internal control training for personnel involved in remediating this material weakness. In addition, management continues to design and implement new controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties. Management intends to test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the controls in future periods. The material weakness cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. The Company can provide no assurance that its remediation efforts described herein will be successful and that the Company will not have material weaknesses in the future.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the planned changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described in “Remediation Plan for Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
