LendingClub Reports First Quarter 2020 Results
Company takes decisive action in response to business impacts of COVID-19, positioning itself to support borrowers, protect investor returns and navigate a range of economic scenarios
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), America's largest online lending marketplace connecting borrowers and investors, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
"The unprecedented scale and speed at which the COVID-19 lockdown has impacted the economy has created an enormous amount of suffering for millions of Americans, disrupted business activity, and resulted in a severe contraction in market liquidity. The deteriorating environment clearly has an impact on our outlook as we significantly reduce originations to allow platform investors time to assess and address issues pertaining to their capital, their liquidity and the expected performance across their portfolios." said Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub. "We have moved quickly and taken deliberate actions to keep our employees safe, protect investor returns, support our members, and preserve our liquidity. We believe that our actions, together with the steps we took to improve efficiency ahead of the downturn, have positioned LendingClub to successfully navigate the current challenges and to recover quickly when the economy stabilizes."
We are navigating the business through this challenging environment by following five key guiding principles.
- Keep our employees safe – LendingClub rapidly and proactively implemented a work from home program, including crisis pay so that employees in need were able to take paid time off to care for themselves and/or their families.
- Protect investor returns – Until unemployment stabilizes and liquidity returns, the company significantly tightened credit and underwriting standards and raised rates. The company also successfully executed its contingency plan and significantly increased its collections and servicing capacity and maintained service levels.
- Support our members – New originations are weighted towards existing members with positive payment histories. For borrowers experiencing hardship, LendingClub launched a two-month payment deferral plan (Skip-a-Pay). As of April 30, 2020, approximately 11% of LendingClub's outstanding personal loans have been enrolled in Skip-a-Pay and the company is rolling out additional graduation and hardship programs for customers.
- Preserve liquidity – At the end of the first quarter, the company had strong liquidity, including $602 million in Net Cash and Other Financial Assets. As a result of recent actions to reduce costs, the company lowered its quarterly expense run rate by approximately $70 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. LendingClub also performed stress testing of its cash flows in a variety of scenarios and believes that it has sufficient liquidity through the end of 2021.
- Stay on track for the acquisition of Radius – Completing the acquisition remains an important strategic priority and the company remains in close contact with regulators to accomplish this objective.
Q1 results reflected a significant fair value adjustment driven by COVID-19.
GAAP Consolidated Net Loss for the quarter of $(48.1) million primarily reflected a fair value mark of $(101.7) million, of which approximately $(64) million was attributable to a COVID-19 related revaluation of loans held for sale by the company at fair value and securities available for sale. In addition to the impact of the fair value mark, the net loss per share on a GAAP basis also reflected a previously announced, non-recurring $50.2 million deemed dividend paid to our largest stockholder upon the exchange of all shares of LendingClub common stock held by it for newly issued shares of convertible, non-voting, LendingClub Series A preferred stock.
- Loan originations of $2.5 billion, down 8% year-over-year.
- Net Revenue of $120.2 million, down 31% year-over-year.
- GAAP Consolidated Net Loss of $(48.1) million ($(1.10) per share attributable to common stockholders), compared to a loss of $(19.9) million ($(0.23) per share attributable to common stockholders) in the first quarter of 2019.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $(7.8) million, down 135% year-over-year.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin of (6.5)%, down 19.5 percentage points year-over-year.
- Adjusted Net Loss of $(39.2) million ($(0.44) adjusted net loss per share), compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $(11.5) million ($(0.13) adjusted net loss per share) in the first quarter of 2019.
First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Commenting on financial results, Tom Casey, CFO of LendingClub, said "The operating environment was challenging in the first quarter. COVID-19's effect on the economy resulted in a decline in origination volumes in March and a significant fair value mark, both of which impacted our earnings materially. We have taken decisive action to significantly reduce our exposure to loans held for sale, reduced our expenses by a quarterly run rate of approximately $70 million, and have sufficient liquidity to manage through a variety of stress scenarios."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Statement Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Contribution, Contribution Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) and Net Cash and Other Financial Assets. Our non-GAAP measures do have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.
We believe these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.
In particular, we believe Contribution and Contribution Margin are useful measures of overall direct product profitability because the measures illustrate the relationship between costs most directly associated with revenue generating activities and the related revenue, and the effectiveness of the direct costs in obtaining revenue. Contribution is calculated as net revenue less "Sales and marketing" and "Origination and servicing" expenses on the Company's Statements of Operations, adjusted to exclude cost structure simplification and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses within these captions and income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. The adjustment for cost structure simplification expense relates to a review of our cost structure and a number of expense initiatives underway, including the establishment of a site in the Salt Lake City area. The expense includes incremental and excess personnel-related expenses associated with establishing our Salt Lake City area site and external advisory fees. Contribution Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing Contribution by total net revenue.
We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is an important measure because it directly reflects the financial performance of our business. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) adjusts for certain items that are either non-recurring, do not contribute directly to management's evaluation of its operating results, or non-cash items, such as (1) expenses related to our cost structure simplification, as discussed above, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) legal, regulatory and other expense related to legacy issues, (4) acquisition and related expenses and (5) other items (including certain non-legacy litigation and/or regulatory settlement expenses, gains on disposal of certain assets and expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic), net of tax. Legacy items are generally those expenses that arose from the decisions of legacy management prior to the board review initiated in 2016 and resulted in the resignation of our former CEO, including legal and other costs associated with ongoing regulatory and government investigations, indemnification obligations, litigation, and termination of certain legacy contracts. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we added an adjustment to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for "Acquisition and related expenses" to adjust for costs related to the acquisition of Radius. In the second quarter of 2019, we added an adjustment to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for Other items to adjust for expenses or gains that are not part of our core operating results.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important measures of operating performance because they allow for the comparison of our core operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for certain items that are either non-recurring, do not contribute directly to management's evaluation of its operating results, or non-cash items, such as (1) cost structure simplification expense, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) legal, regulatory and other expense related to legacy issues, (4) acquisition and related expenses, (5) other items, as discussed above, (6) depreciation, impairment and amortization expense, (7) stock-based compensation expense and (8) income tax expense (benefit). Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an input into the Company's calculation of the annual bonus plan. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total net revenue.
We believe Adjusted EPS is an important measure because it directly reflects the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to both common and preferred stockholders by the weighted-average diluted common and preferred shares outstanding.
We believe Net Cash and Other Financial Assets is a useful measure because it illustrates the overall financial stability and operating leverage of the Company. This measure is calculated as cash and certain other assets and liabilities, including loans and securities available for sale, which are partially secured and offset by related credit facilities, and working capital.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their most comparable GAAP measure. In particular, many of the adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.
For more information on our non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the nearest GAAP measure, please see the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" tables at the end of this release.

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION (In thousands) (Unaudited) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table is provided to delineate between the assets and liabilities belonging to our member payment dependent self-directed retail program (Retail Program) note holders and certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP. Such assets are not legally ours and the associated liabilities are payable only from the cash flows generated by those assets (i.e. Pass-throughs). As such, these debt holders do not have a secured interest in any other assets of LendingClub. We believe this is a useful measure because it illustrates the overall financial stability and operating leverage of the Company. |

Represents loans held for investment at fair value that are funded directly by our Retail Program notes. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. We do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans facilitated through our lending marketplace that are funded by our Retail Program because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes with the exact same interest rates and maturities. We do not retain any economic interests from our Retail Program. Interest expense on Retail Program notes of $28.9 million and $42.0 million was equally matched and offset by interest income from the related loans of $28.9 million and $42.0 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) |
Represents assets and equal and offsetting liabilities of certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP, but which are not legally ours. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Interest expense on these liabilities owned by third parties of $7.8 million and net fair value adjustments of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 were equally matched and offset by interest income on the loans of $10.5 million, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments. Interest expense on these liabilities owned by third parties of $27.1 million and net fair value adjustments of $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2019 were equally matched and offset by interest income on the loans of $34.8 million, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments. Economic interests held by LendingClub, including retained interests, residuals and equity of the VIEs, are reflected in "Loans held for sale by the Company at fair value," "Loans held for investment by the Company at fair value" and "Restricted cash," respectively, within the "All Other LendingClub" column. |

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we added a new line item called "Other assets and liabilities" which is a total of "Accrued interest receivable," "Other assets," "Accounts payable," "Accrued interest payable" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities," included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This line item represents certain assets and liabilities that impact working capital and are affected by timing differences between revenue and expense recognition and related cash activity. In the third quarter of 2019, we added a new line item called "Restricted cash committed for loan purchases," which represents cash and cash equivalents that are transferred to restricted cash for loans that are pending purchase by the Company. We believe this is a more complete representation of the Company's net cash and other financial assets position as of each period presented in the table above. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company sponsored a new Structured Program transaction that was consolidated, resulting in an increase to "Loans held for investment by the Company at fair value" and the related "Payable to Structured Program note and certificate holders at fair value." |
