13.Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company calculates its year-to-date income tax expense (benefit) by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date income from operations before income taxes and adjusts the income tax expense (benefit) for discrete tax items recorded in the period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million and an income tax benefit of $4.0 million, respectively, related to continuing operations. The Company’s reported effective tax rates were 25.8% and 13.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Income tax expense increased by$7.4 million, from $4.0 million benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to$3.4 million expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of having increased pretax income for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differ from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impacts of the research and development tax credit and stock-based compensation.

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion Profit Shifting released Model Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (“Model Rules”) under Pillar Two. The Model Rules set forth the “common approach” for a Global Minimum Tax at 15 percent for multinational enterprises with a turnover of more than 750 million euros. Rules under Pillar Two were effective from January 1, 2024. The Company does not expect adoption of Pillar Two rules to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements during fiscal year 2025.

14.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments at Fair Value

The table below compares the fair value of loans receivable and asset-backed notes to their contractual balances for the periods shown:

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
(in thousands)Unpaid Principal BalanceFair ValueUnpaid Principal BalanceFair Value
Assets
Loans Receivable at Fair Value$2,696,587$2,770,486$2,716,992$2,778,523
Liabilities
Asset-backed notes$878,286$863,859$1,103,002$1,080,690

The Company calculates the fair value of the asset-backed notes using independent pricing services and broker price indications, which are based on quoted prices for identical or similar notes, which are Level 2 input measures.

The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for Loans Receivable at Fair Value. The personal loans receivable balance at fair value as of March 31, 2025, consists of $2,569.7 million of unsecured personal loans receivable and $200.8 million of secured personal loans receivable.

(1)Figure disclosed as a percentage of outstanding principal balance.

(2) Unobservable inputs were weighted by outstanding principal balance, which are grouped by risk (type of customer, original loan maturity terms).

Fair value adjustments related to financial instruments where the fair value option has been elected are recorded through earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Certain unobservable inputs may (in isolation) have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

For personal loans receivable, the Company developed an internal model to estimate the fair value of loans receivable held for investment. To generate future expected cash flows, the model combines receivable characteristics with assumptions about borrower behavior based on the Company’s historical loan performance. These cash flows are then discounted using a required rate of return that management estimates would be used by a market participant.

The Company tested the unsecured personal loan fair value modelby comparing modeled cash flows to historical loan performance to ensure that the model was complete, accurate and reasonable for the Company’s use. The Company also engaged a third party to create an independent fair value estimate for the Loans Receivable at Fair Value, which provides a set of fair value marks using the Company’s historical loan performance data and whole loan sale prices to develop independent forecasts of borrower behavior.

The Company has derivative instruments in connection with its bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A. related to excess interest proceeds it expects to receive on loans retained by Pathward, N.A. Based on the agreement underlying the bank partnership program, for all loans originated and retained by Pathward, Pathward receives a fixed interest rate. The Company bears the risk of credit loss and has the benefit of any excess interest proceeds after satisfying various obligations under the agreement. The fair value of the derivative instrument as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were $14.2 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The underlying cash flows as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were $16.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively. The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for derivative instruments presented within Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited):

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024

Discount rate16.11%16.11%16.11%17.29%17.29%17.29%

For the derivative, the Company uses a base set of cash flows derived from historical data and management assumptions. From this base set of cash flows, funds that are projected to be released to the Company according to the contractual terms outlined in the waterfall agreement are calculated on an aggregate basis then discounted at a rate that is representative of equity yield.

Corporate financing (Note 8)235,768236,105—236,105—

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value:

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable ‑The carrying values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable, approximate Level 1 fair values of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.

Secured financing and corporate financing ‑The fair values of the secured financing, and corporate financing facilities have been calculated using discount rates equivalent to the weighted-average market yield of comparable debt securities, which is a Level 2 input measure.

Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost ‑The fair values of the asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost include both securitizations carried at amortized cost and secured borrowings. We obtain indicative pricing on comparable debt securities for securitizations carried at amortized cost, which is a Level 2 input measure. Fair values of secured borrowings included in asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost have been calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows at the interest rate the Company estimates such arrangement would bear if executed in the current market, which is a Level 3 input measure.

There wereno transfers in or out of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Oportun CL Trust 2023-A asset-backed note transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.

15.Leases, Commitments and Contingencies

Leases - The Company’s leases are primarily for real property consisting of retail locations and office space and have remaining lease terms of less than 6 years.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to keep leases with terms of 12 months or less off the balance sheet as no recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset is required. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in “Technology and facilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited).

All of the Company’s existing lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract is or contains a lease. At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the duration of the lease term. The Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the arrangement at the end of the original lease term. The Company generally does not include renewal or termination options in its assessment of the leases unless extension or termination for certain assets is deemed to be reasonably certain. Variable lease payments and short-term lease costs were deemed immaterial. The Company’s leases do not provide an explicit rate. The Company uses its contractual borrowing rate to determine lease discount rates.

As of March 31, 2025, maturities of lease liabilities, excluding short-term leases and leases on a month-to-month basis, were as follows:

Rental expenses under operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $2.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Purchase Commitment ‑The Company has commitments to purchase information technology and communication services in the ordinary course of business, with various terms through 2028. These amounts are not reflective of the Company’s entire anticipated purchases under the related agreements; rather, they are determined based on the non-cancelable amounts to which the Company is contractually obligated. The Company’s purchase obligations are $30.5 million for the remainder of 2025, $19.5 million in 2026, $2.9 million in 2027, $0.1 million in 2028 withno obligations beyond 2028.

Bank Partnership Program and Servicing Agreement - The Company entered into a bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A. on August 11, 2020. In accordance with the agreements underlying the bank partnership program, Oportun has a commitment to purchase an increasing percentage of program loans originated by Pathward based on thresholds specified in the agreements. Lending under the partnership was launched in August of 2021 and as of March 31, 2025, the Company has a commitment to purchase an additional $35.8 million of program loans based on originations through March 31, 2025.

Unfunded Loan and Credit Card Commitments- Unfunded loan and credit card commitments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were insignificant due to the termination of the Amended and Restated Credit Card Program and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2021, by and between the Company and WebBank, effective November 10, 2024.

Mexico Value-added Tax -In October 2023, the Company's Mexico subsidiary received notice from Mexico's Servicio de Administración Tributaria, the Mexican federal tax authority, for claims related to the alleged underpayment of value-added tax, including inflationary adjustments, fines and penalties for tax years 2017-2019. The Company disputes that there were underpayments in any of those years, and intends to pursue all available administrative and legal avenues of appeal to assert its position. No accrual related to this matter has been recorded as of March 31, 2025, as the Company believes it is not probable to be incurred. However, it is reasonably possible the Company will be unsuccessful in asserting at least some of these claims, and for those claims, the Company believes it may be exposed to a liability ranging from zero to $3.8 million, consisting of $1.2 million of value-added tax and $2.6 million of inflationary adjustments, fines and penalties. These estimates are subject to change based on the results of the administrative and legal appeal processes, however, timing of the resolution of this issue is unknown.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may bring or be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including legal proceedings with third parties asserting infringement of their intellectual property rights, consumer litigation, and regulatory proceedings. The Company is not presently a party to any other legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

See Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information regarding legal proceedings in which the Company is involved.

16.Related Party Transactions

Upon the closing of the Term Loan, the Company repaid all amounts due under the Original Credit Agreement in full. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the lenders retained the previously issued warrants and the Company issued the Neuberger affiliated lenders additional warrants to purchase a total of 2,426,503 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, Neuberger is deemed to be a beneficial owner of greater thanten percent of the Company's outstanding stock pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. See Note 8, Borrowings for additional information on the Corporate Financing facility and Note 10, Stockholders' Equity for additional information on the warrants.

In addition, on June 16, 2023, the Company entered into a forward flow whole loan sale agreement with Neuberger. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to sell up to $300.0 million of its personal loan originations over the subsequent twelve months. On April 26, 2024, the Company amended the agreement to extend the term and revised the commitment amount to instead sell $370.9 million of personal loan originations in aggregate through October 2024. In October 2024, the Company fulfilled its commitment under the agreement. The Company will continue to service these loans upon transfer of the receivables. As part of this agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company transferred loans receivable totaling $0.4 million; no loans were transferred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. See Liquidity and Capital Resources section for additional information on the forward flow whole loan sale agreement.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded interest expense of $5.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, related to the Corporate Financing facility. In addition, the Company recorded interest expense of $6.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively, related to the secured borrowings associated with the forward flow whole loan sale agreement. The expected cash flows are used to calculate interest expense on the secured borrowing, using the effective interest method. Related to the transferred loans, the Company also recorded $16.3 million and $4.8 million, of interest income in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, loans receivable at fair value underlying the secured borrowing were $204.3 million and $241.3 million, respectively. The Company had Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost of $213.0 million and Corporate Financing of $99.8 million due to Neuberger as of March 31, 2025 and $247.9 million and $101.9 million, respectively, due as of December 31, 2024. The Company also had an insignificant amount of Interest and fee receivable, net and Other liabilities in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) as of March 31, 2025 related to these transactions.

The Company believes that it has executed all the transactions described herein on terms no less favorable to it than it could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
