Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we fund the majority of our operating liquidity and operating needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitizations, secured borrowings, Corporate Financing and structured and whole loan sales. We may utilize these or other sources in the future. Our material cash requirements relate to funding our lending activities, our debt service obligations, our operating expenses, and investments in the long-term growth of the Company.
We generally target liquidity levels to support at least twelve months of our expected net cash outflows, including new originations, without access to our Corporate Financing facility or equity markets. Elevated and fluctuating interest rates, credit trends and other macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions could continue to have an impact on market volatility which could adversely impact our business, liquidity, and capital resources. Future decreases in cash flows from operations resulting from delinquencies, defaults, and losses would decrease the cash available for the capital uses described above. We may incur additional indebtedness or issue equity in order to meet our capital spending and liquidity requirements, as well as to fund growth opportunities that we may pursue.
The following table summarizes our total liquidity reserves:
| (in thousands) | Total capacity | Amount borrowed/utilized | Remaining available capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $130,384 | N/A | $130,384 |
| Restricted cash | 79,470 | N/A | 79,470 |
| Secured financing | 1,139,091 | 217,420 | 921,671 |
| Whole loan forward flow agreements | 50,000 | 16,911 | 33,089 |
| Total liquidity | $1,398,945 | $234,331 | $1,164,614 |
Cash and cash flows
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $209,854 | $230,973 |
| Cash provided by (used in) | ||
| Operating activities | 103,729 | 100,977 |
| Investing activities | 7,982 | (55,520) |
| Financing activities | (100,791) | (29,109) |
Our cash is held for working capital purposes and originating loans. Our restricted cash principally represents collections held in our securitizations and is applied currently after month-end to pay principal, interest expense, and satisfy any amount due to whole loan buyers with any excess amounts returned to us.
Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was$103.7 million and$101.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities primarily include net income or losses adjusted for (i) non-cash items included in net income or loss, including depreciation and amortization expense, goodwill impairment charges, fair value adjustments, net, origination fees for loans at fair value, net, gain on loan sales, stock-based compensation expense and deferred tax provision, net, (ii) originations of loans sold and held for sale, and proceeds from sale of loans and (iii) changes in the balances of operating assets and liabilities, which can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of various payments. The$2.8 million increase in our net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by a$13.2 million increase in our fair value adjustment, net,$11.6 million increase in our origination fees for Loans Receivable at Fair Value, net, and$6.5 million increase in our originations of loans sold and held for sale. These were partially offset by$8.2 million decrease due to proceeds from the sale of loans, a$7.4 million decrease in our net income, $5.9 million decrease relating to our change in Other Assets, $3.9 million decrease from our accrued compensations costs, $1.6 million decrease due to our deferred tax asset position, and $1.5 million decrease in Right of Use Assets.
Investing Activities
Our net cash provided by investing activities was$8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and net cash used in investing activities was $55.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our investing activities consist primarily of loan originations and loan repayments. We invest in purchases of property and equipment and incur system development costs. Purchases of property and equipment, and capitalization of system development costs may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, the addition of employee headcount and the development cycles of our system development. The change in our net cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to$63.8 million higher originations and purchases of loans held for investment.
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $100.8 million and $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by amortization payments on our Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost, asset-backed notes at fair value, partially offset by borrowings under our Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost and net borrowings on our secured financing.

No loans were transferred under either agreement during thethree months ended March 31, 2026, as our sale commitments had been previously satisfied, but we do continue to service any loans transferred. Although each arrangement is structured as a whole loan sale and we would continue to service any loans transferred, the transfers do not qualify as sales for accounting purposes. As a result, the related loan assets remain on our balance sheet and the cash proceeds are recorded as secured borrowings within asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost, with interest expense recognized over the term.
Corporate Financing
We previously entered into the Original Credit Agreement, as defined below, which provided for a senior secured term loan with an initial borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million and was subsequently amended to increase total borrowing capacity by up to an additional $75.0 million and modify certain terms (including the interest rate structure and certain covenant and repayment provisions). On November 14, 2024, the Original Credit Agreement (as amended) was terminated and the outstanding term loan was repaid in full in connection with the Credit Agreement described below.
On October 23, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement with certain affiliates of Neuberger and McLaren Harbor LLC as lenders, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which we borrowed $235 million through a senior secured term loan (the “Credit Agreement” and the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at (a) a cash rate of 12.50% per annum plus (b) an amount payable in cash or in kind, at our option, equal to 2.50% and is scheduled to mature on November 14, 2028. On November 14, 2024, we repaid in full the Original Credit Agreement, as amended. Certain prepayments under the Credit Agreement are subject to a prepayment premium. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our assets and certain of subsidiaries guaranteeing the loan, including pledges of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly owned by us, subject to customary exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains several financial covenants; these covenants are included together with other customary affirmative and negative covenants (including reporting requirements), representations and warranties and events of default.
Under the Credit Agreement, we were required to repay a combined $12.5 million and $27.5 million of the Term Loan, prior to July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we have fully repaid therequired $12.5 million and $27.5 million of principal. In addition, the Company made additional prepayments of $20 million, not subject to a prepayment premium, and $10 million subject to a prepayment premium. Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans in excess of certain thresholds and with certain other exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, will be subject to a prepayment premium. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has made a total of $30.0 million of voluntary prepayments of principal, along with a total of $0.5 million in prepayment premiums. On April 1, 2026 and May 1, 2026, we made additional voluntary prepayments of $15.0 million each, which were subject to prepayment penalties totalling $1.5 million.
As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants and requirements on our outstanding debt and available credit. For more information regarding our Secured Financing and Corporate Financing, see Note 8, Borrowings of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
Other loan sales
From time to time, we may enter into agreements to sell certain populations of our personal loans receivables, including non-performing loans originated as held for investment. For thethree months ended March 31, 2026, we did not sell any such loans. For further information of these sales, see Note 5, Loans Held for Sale and Loans Sold of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
Whole loan sales
In November 2022, we entered into a forward flow whole loan sale agreement with an institutional investor. Pursuant to this agreement, we have a commitment to sell a minimum of $2.0 million of our unsecured loan originations each month, with an option to sell up to $4.2 million each month, subject to certain eligibility criteria. The agreement is set to expire in December 2026, after being extended in December 2025.
In November 2023, we entered into a forward flow whole loan sale agreement with an institutional investor, under which we expect to sell approximately $100 million of our secured and unsecured personal loans in fiscal year 2026, subject to certain eligibility criteria. This agreement is scheduled to expire in November 2026.
The originations of loans sold and held for sale during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 were $25.8 million. For further information on the whole loan sale transactions, see Note 5, Loans Held for Sale and Loans Sold of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
Bank Partnership Program and Servicing Agreement
In August 11, 2020 we entered into a bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A., which was subsequently amended and restated, effective August 11, 2025. Under the program, we were obligated to purchase an increasing percentage of loans originated by Pathward, N.A. based on thresholds specified in the agreements. Per our September 26, 2025 agreement, we purchase 100% of Pathward originated loans and have purchased all loans previously owned by Pathward.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The material cash requirements for our contractual and other obligations primarily include those related our outstanding borrowings under our asset-backed notes, Secured Financing, corporate and retail leases, and purchase commitments for technology used in the business. See Note 8, Borrowings and Note 15, Leases, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included elsewhere in this report for more information.
Liquidity Risks
We believe that our existing cash balance, anticipated positive cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash operating expense and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months. We do not have any significant unused sources of liquid assets. If our available cash balances are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we will seek additional debt or equity financing and we may have to take additional actions to decrease expenses, curtail the origination of loans, and our ability to continue to support our growth and to respond to challenges could be impacted. In a higher interest rate environment, our ability to issue additional equity or incur debt may be impaired and our borrowing costs may increase. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of additional debt, the agreements governing such debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations and such debt would rank senior to shares of our common stock. The sale of equity may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts and additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.
