SoFi Technologies, Inc.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income primarily reflects the excess of interest income earned on our loans over the interest expense incurred to fund such loans. Net interest income is impacted by loan origination volume, the level of securitization activity, the amount of time we hold loans on our consolidated balance sheet and the volume of member deposits, as well as prevailing interest rates, which impact the rates we receive on our loans and securitization-related investments in bonds and residual interest positions, and the rates we incur from our funding sources including our warehouse facilities, securitization debt and member deposits at SoFi Bank. We also incur interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and convertible notes, as well as on our convertible notes in the form of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income primarily consists of: (i) fee-based revenue recognized from contracts with customers, which primarily relates to our technology products and solutions revenues and the growth and expansion of our financial services offerings, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals (referred loans) to be originated by a third-party partner, (ii) fees earned upon the sale of loans originated on behalf of third party partners through our Loan Platform Business, (iii) loan origination fees, whereby a borrower may optionally elect to pay origination fees to qualify for a lower annual percentage rate, (iv) fair value changes in loans while we hold them on our consolidated balance sheet and our securitization activities, inclusive of our hedging activities, (v) gains on sales of loans transferred into the securitization or whole loan sale channels, (vi) the income we receive from our loan servicing activities, as well as the assumption of servicing rights from third parties, (vii) gains and losses on non-securitization investments, and (viii) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense primarily relates to the following categories of expenses: (i)technology and product development, (ii)sales and marketing, (iii)cost of operations, and (iv)general and administrative. Certain costs are included within each of these line items, such as compensation and benefits-related expense (inclusive of share-based compensation expense), professional services, depreciation and amortization, and occupancy-related costs. We allocate certain costs to each of these categories based on department-level headcounts. We generally expect these expenses to increase in absolute dollars as our business continues to grow. Noninterest expense also includes goodwill impairment, related to the Technology Platform reporting unit in 2023.

Directly Attributable Expenses

As presented within “Summary Results by Segment”, in our determination of the contribution profit (loss) for our reportable segments, we allocate certain expenses that are directly attributable to the segment. Directly attributable expenses primarily include compensation and benefits and sales and marketing, inclusive of member incentives, and vary based on the amount of activity within each segment. Directly attributable expenses also include loan origination and servicing expenses, professional services, product fulfillment and lead generation. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments using either direct costs of the segment or labor costs that can be attributed based upon the allocation of employee time for individual products.
