AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Open Lending Corporation LPRO (the "Company" or "Open Lending"), a leading provider of lending enablement and risk analytics solutions to financial institutions, today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2020.

"We are very encouraged by our third quarter results, which include an 8% increase in certified loans, a 35% increase in revenue and a 29% increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the third quarter of 2019," said John Flynn, Chairman and CEO Open Lending. "Our lending partners have proven resilient and continue to utilize our platform throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the low interest rate environment, the increased demand and value of used cars, and consumers moving out of cities and reluctant to use public modes of transportation are driving these positive trends. We are also thrilled that OEM#2 came back on to our platform in October as planned."

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Highlights

  • The Company facilitated 20,696 certified loans during the third quarter of 2020, compared to 19,087 certified loans in the third quarter of 2019
  • Total revenue was $29.8 million, compared to $22.1 million in the third quarter of 2019
  • Gross profit was $27.3 million, compared to $20.2 million in third quarter of 2019
  • GAAP net loss of $(71.1) million, compared to GAAP net income of $14.7 million in third quarter 2019. The GAAP net loss was primarily attributable to $(83.1) million in change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration shares awarded as part of the business combination with Nebula Acquisition Corporation ("Nebula") on June 10, 2020. Given the share price performance milestones for the contingent consideration have all been met as of August 2020, net income beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond will not be burdened by any changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration shares.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $19.7 million, compared to $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2019

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of this measure and how it is calculated is also included under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

2020 Outlook
Based on third quarter results and thoughts regarding the remainder of the year, the Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance of the following:

 Full Year 2020 Outlook
Total Certified Loans85,000 – 101,000
Total Revenue$89 - $108 million
Adjusted EBITDA$54 - $70 million
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow (1) $34 - $41 million


  (1)Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, minus CAPEX, plus or minus change in contract assets.
    

The guidance provided above includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. While the financial guidance takes into account the anticipated impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the pandemic is unprecedented and the future effect of the pandemic on the global economy and our financial results remains highly uncertain, and our actual results may differ materially. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to market trends, the anticipated impact of the recent novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on factors impacting the Company's business, the Company's new lender pipeline, consumer behavior and demand for automotive loans, as well as future financial performance under the heading "2020 Outlook" above. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the Company's control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, political and business conditions; the potential effects of COVID-19; applicable taxes, inflation, interest rates and the regulatory environment; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which Open Lending is, or may become a party; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company's stockholders; those factors discussed in other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this press release is financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, internally in analyzing our financial results and believe it is useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. The Company believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, the Company believes these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction bonuses as a result of the Business Combination. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
