Total net revenue decreased 30% year-over-year to $232.5 million, driven by a 60% drop in marketplace revenue. This was partially offset by a 26% increase in net interest income from a larger portfolio of loans held for investment. The company has responded by managing expenses prudently, evidenced by a 28% year-over-year decrease in non-interest expenses, and maintains strong liquidity and capital levels - The challenging economic environment, particularly the interest rate climate and economic volatility, is adversely affecting the business by reducing investor demand and pricing for marketplace loans223 Key Performance Metrics - Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022 | Metric | Q2 2023 | Q2 2022 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Loan Originations | $2.0B | $3.8B | (48)% | | Total Net Revenue | $232.5M | $330.1M | (30)% | | Marketplace Revenue | $82.8M | $206.4M | (60)% | | Net Interest Income | $146.7M | $116.2M | +26% | | Net Income | $10.1M | $182.1M | (94)% | - Net interest margin decreased to 7.1% in Q2 2023 from 8.5% in Q2 2022, primarily due to higher interest rates paid on deposits. Management expects this pressure on net interest margin to continue through 2023224272 - The company implemented a cost reduction and reorganization plan in January 2023, which contributed to a 28% year-over-year decrease in total non-interest expense, driven by lower headcount and reduced marketing spend225 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The company's primary market risk is interest rate risk. A sensitivity analysis indicates that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease projected net interest income by 4.4% over the next twelve months, while a 100 basis point decrease would increase it by 2.7%. This reflects the liability-sensitive nature of the balance sheet, where deposit costs reprice faster than the fixed-rate loan portfolio Net Interest Income Sensitivity to Interest Rate Changes | Instantaneous Change in Interest Rates | Impact on Projected 12-Month NII (as of June 30, 2023) | | :--- | :--- | | + 200 basis points | (9.1)% | | + 100 basis points | (4.4)% | | – 100 basis points | 2.7% | | – 200 basis points | 5.1% | - The company's net interest income is projected to decrease in a rising rate environment because higher rates on interest-bearing deposits are only partially offset by higher rates on new loans and investments. The fixed-rate nature of the majority of the existing loan portfolio limits immediate asset repricing345 Controls and Procedures Management, including the CEO and CFO, evaluated the company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023.
