Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Those sections of the Securities Act and Exchange Act provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Report regarding borrowers, credit scoring, Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) or other credit scores, our strategy, future operations, expected losses, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about:

 

    our ability to attract potential borrowers to our marketplace;

 

    the degree to which potential borrowers apply for, are approved for and actually borrow via a loan;

 

    the status of borrowers, the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the plans of borrowers;

 

    interest rates and origination fees on loans charged by the issuing bank;

 

    our ability to service loans and our ability, or the ability of third-party collection agents, to pursue collection of delinquent and defaulted loans;

 

    our ability to retain WebBank and other third-party banking institutions as the issuer of loans facilitated by our marketplace;

 

    our ability to attract and retain investors to the marketplace, to our funds, to separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) or to purchase loans;

 

    our ability to successfully integrate our recent acquisition of Springstone;

 

    our ability to expand the number of providers that use the products provided through Springstone;

 

    the available functionality of a secondary market trading program for notes;

 

    expected rates of return provided to investors;

 

    our financial condition and performance, including our ability to remain cash flow positive;

 

    our ability to retain and hire employees and appropriately staff our operations;

 

    our ability to prevent security breaches, disruptions in service or comparable events that could compromise the personally identifiable or confidential information held in our data systems, reduce the attractiveness of the marketplace or adversely impact our ability to service loans;

 

    our ability to prevent and detect identity theft;

 

    our ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls;

 

    our compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws, including the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other laws; and

 

    our compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory developments regarding our marketplace.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Report, including the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results or events to differ materially from forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

Table of Contents

You should read this Report carefully and completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

We did not have any items of other comprehensive income (loss) during any of the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In our opinion, all necessary adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) have been made for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of consolidated operations.

On April 15, 2014, a 2 for 1 equity stock split approved by our Board of Directors became effective, in which each outstanding share of each series or class of equity capital stock was split into two outstanding shares of such series or class of equity capital stock. Additionally, another 2 for 1 equity stock split became effective on September 5, 2014, in which each outstanding share of each series or class of equity capital stock was split into two outstanding shares of such series or class of equity capital stock. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect these stock splits. The par value of each of the outstanding shares remains the same at $0.01.

On April 17, 2014, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of Springstone. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include Springstone’s results of operations and financial position from this date (see Note 9 – Springstone Acquisition).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes to these accounting policies during the first nine months of 2014 except for our initial application of the acquisition method in accounting for a business combination, the accounting for intangible assets, including goodwill and the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, as described below.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the fair value of acquired businesses in excess of the aggregate fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment exist. Our annual impairment testing date is April 1. We can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit (defined as business for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) exceeds its carrying value. A qualitative assessment may consider macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital, or company specific factors such as market capitalization in excess of net assets, trends in revenue generating activities and merger or acquisition activity.

If we elect to bypass qualitatively assessing goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, management will estimate the fair values of our reporting units and compare them to their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the reporting units will be established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model or a market approach which compares each reporting unit to comparable companies in their respective industries.

Table of Contents

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We do not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Servicing Asset/Liability

We record servicing assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values when we sell whole loans to unrelated third-party whole loan buyers or when the servicing contract commences. The gain or loss on a loan sale is recorded in “Other Revenue” while the component of the gain or loss that is based on the degree to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate loan servicing fee is recorded as an offset in servicing assets or liabilities. Servicing assets and liabilities are recorded in “Other Assets” and “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities,” respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Over the life of the loan, changes in the estimated fair value of servicing assets and liabilities are reported in “Servicing Fees” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur.

We use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the loan servicing asset or liability which considers the contractual servicing fee revenue we earn on the loans, estimated market rate servicing fee to service such loans, the current principal balances of the loans and projected servicing revenues over the remaining terms of the loans.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In May, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new update on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-13 “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Measuring the Financial Assets and The Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity” to amend the existing standards. This ASU provides an alternative to current fair value measurement guidance to an entity that consolidates a collateralized financing entity (“CFE”) that has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and financial liabilities. If elected, the entity could measure both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CFE by using the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable. The election would effectively eliminate any measurement difference previously reflected in earnings and attributed to the reporting entity in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new update on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share and Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is the amount of net income (loss) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is the amount of net income (loss) available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares to be issued assuming the exercise of stock options, convertible preferred stock and warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

We calculate both basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. The two-class method allocates net income that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders to holders of participating securities. We consider all series of our convertible preferred stock to be participating securities due to their non-cumulative dividend rights. As such, net income allocated to these participating securities, which include participation rights in undistributed earnings (see Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity), is subtracted from net income to determine total undistributed net income to be allocated to common stockholders. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted-average common shares outstanding.

4. Loans, Notes and Certificates, and Loan Servicing Rights

Loans, Notes and Certificates

Our marketplace is where borrowers and investors engage in transactions relating to standard or custom program loans. Standard program loans are unsecured, fixed rate, three or five year personal loans in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $35,000 made to borrowers meeting strict credit criteria, including a FICO score of at least 660. Custom program loans are generally new offerings and loans that do not meet the requirements of the standard program and/or loans with longer maturities that we believe to be attractive to most investors. Currently, custom program loans include small business, education and patient finance loans. Small business loans are unsecured and fixed rate loans in amounts ranging from $15,000 to $100,000, with various maturities between one and five years. Education and patient finance loans are issued in amounts ranging from $499 to $40,000 and various maturities between six and 72 months.

Investors can invest in loans that are offered through our marketplace. We issue notes and the Trust issues certificates.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, loans and notes and certificates (in thousands) were:

At September 30, 2014, outstanding loans underlying notes and certificates had original maturities between 12 months and 60 months and are paid monthly with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.42% to 29.90% and various maturity dates through September 2019. At December 31, 2013, outstanding loans underlying notes and certificates had original terms of 36 months or 60 months, were paid monthly with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.42% to 26.06% and had various maturity dates through December 2018.

At September 30, 2014, we had 1,304 loans that were 90 days or more past due (which includes non-accrual loans discussed below) or the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or is deceased; these loans had a total outstanding principal balance of $15.2 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $13.8 million and an aggregate fair value of $1.4 million. At December 31, 2013, we had 989 loans that were 90 days or more past due (which includes non-accrual loans discussed below) or the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or is deceased; these loans had a total outstanding principal balance of $10.2 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $9.1 million and an aggregate fair value of $1.1 million.

We place loans on non-accrual status once they are 120 days past due. At September 30, 2014, we had 51 loans that were over 120 days past due and classified as non-accrual loans, which had a total outstanding principal balance of $0.5 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $0.4 million and an aggregate fair value of $0.1 million. At December 31, 2013, we had 111 loans that were over 120 days past due and classified as non-accrual loans, which had a total outstanding principal balance of $1.1 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $0.9 million and an aggregate fair value of $0.2 million.

Loan Servicing Rights

We record servicing assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values when we sell whole loans to unrelated third-party whole loan buyers or when the servicing contract commences.

At September 30, 2014, loans underlying loan servicing rights had a total principal balance of $1.37 billion, original terms between 12 and 60 months and are paid monthly with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.90% to 33.15% and various maturity dates through September, 2019. At December 31, 2013, loans underlying loan servicing rights had a total principal balance of $0.41 billion, original terms between 36 months and 60 months and are paid monthly with fixed interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 26.06% and various maturity dates through December, 2018.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to loans, loan servicing rights, notes and certificates that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of loans, loan servicing rights, notes and certificates are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology utilizing market participant assumptions as discussed in “Valuation Method” section below.

As our loans and related notes and certificates, and loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, we use significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Accordingly, we classify them as Level 3 as follows (in thousands):

Financial instruments are categorized in the Level 3 valuation hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. Our fair value approach for Level 3 instruments primarily uses unobservable inputs, but may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

Valuation Method

The valuation technique used for our Level 3 assets and liabilities is described below.

Loans, Notes and Certificates

Discounted cash flow – The discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of a financial instrument and then discounting those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.

Significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above are those we consider significant to the estimated fair values of the Level 3 assets and liabilities. We consider unobservable inputs to be significant, if by their exclusion, the estimated fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a significant percentage change, or based on qualitative factors such as the nature of the instrument and significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation. The following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.

Discount rate – The discount rate is a rate of return used to discount future expected cash flows to arrive at a present value, which represents the fair value of the loans, notes and certificates. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of loans are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in the various credit grades of loans. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the notes and certificates are our estimates of the rates of return, including risk premiums (if significant) that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in notes issued by us and certificates issued by the Trust with cash flows dependent on specific grades of loans. Discount rates for existing loans, notes and certificates are adjusted to reflect the time value of money. A risk premium component is implicitly included in the discount rates to reflect the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instruments’ cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.

Table of Contents

Net cumulative expected loss – The net cumulative expected loss is an estimate of the net cumulative principal payments that will not be repaid over the entire life of a loan, note or certificate, expressed as a percentage of the original principal amount of the loan, note or certificate. The estimated net cumulative loss is the sum of the net losses estimated to occur each month of the life of a new loan, note or certificate. Therefore, the total net losses estimated to occur over the remaining maturity of existing loans, notes and certificates are less than the estimated net cumulative losses of comparable new loans, notes and certificates. A given month’s estimated net losses are a function of two variables:

 

  (i) estimated default rate, which is an estimate of the probability of not collecting the remaining contractual principal amounts owed and,

 

  (ii) estimated net loss severity, which is the percentage of contractual principal cash flows lost in the event of a default, net of the average net recovery, expected to be received on a defaulted loan, note or certificate.

The majority of fair value adjustments included in earnings is attributable to changes in estimated instrument-specific future credit losses. All fair valuation adjustments were related to Level 3 instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. A specific loan that is projected to have higher future default losses than previously estimated has lower expected future cash flows over its remaining life, which reduces its estimated fair value. Conversely, a specific loan that is projected to have lower future default losses than previously estimated has increased expected future cash flows over its remaining life, which increases its fair value. Because the payments to holders of notes and certificates depend on the payments received on loans, a reduction or increase of the expected future payments on loans will decrease or increase the estimated fair values of the related notes and certificates. Expected losses and actual charge-offs on loans are offset to the extent that the loans are financed by notes and certificates that effectively absorb the related loan losses.

Our and the Trust’s obligation to pay principal and interest on any note or certificate, as applicable, is equal to the pro-rata portion of the payments, if any, received on the related loan subject to applicable fees. The gross effective interest rate associated with notes or certificates is the same as the interest rate paid on the underlying loan. At September 30, 2014, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the notes’ and certificates’ fair values uses the same projected net cash flows as their related loans.

The fair value adjustments for loans were largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the notes and certificates due to the member payment dependent design of the notes and certificates and because the principal balances of the loans were very close to the combined principal balances of the notes and certificates.

Discounted cash flow – The discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of a financial instrument and then discounting those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.

Significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above are those we consider significant to the estimated fair values of the Level 3 assets and liabilities. We consider unobservable inputs to be significant, if by their exclusion, the estimated fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a significant percentage change, or based on qualitative factors such as the nature of the instrument and significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation. The following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.

Market servicing rate – We estimate adequate servicing compensation rates of what a market participant would earn to service the loans that we sell to, or that are acquired by, third parties. We estimated these market servicing rates based on observable market rates for other loan types in the industry, adjusted for the unique loan attributes that are present in the loans we sell and service (i.e., unsecured fixed rate fully amortizing loans, ACH loan payments, intermediate terms, prime credit grades and sizes) and a market servicing benchmarking analysis performed by an independent valuation firm.

Discount rate – The discount rate is a rate of return used to discount future expected cash flows to arrive at a present value, which represents the fair value of the loan servicing rights. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of loan servicing rights are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in servicing rights for unsecured consumer credit obligations would require for the various credit grades of the underlying loans. Discount rates for servicing rights on existing loans are adjusted to reflect the time value of money. A risk premium component is implicitly included in the discount rates to reflect the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instruments’ cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.

Net cumulative expected loss – The net cumulative expected loss is an estimate of the net cumulative principal payments that will not be repaid over the entire life of a loan expressed as a percentage of the original principal amount of the loan. The assumption regarding net cumulative losses reduces the projected balances and expected terms of the loans, which are used to project future servicing revenues. The estimated net cumulative loss is the sum of the net losses estimated to occur each month of the life of a new loan. A given month’s estimated net losses are a function of two variables:

 

  (i) estimated default rate, which is an estimate of the probability of not collecting the remaining contractual principal amounts owed and,

 

  (ii) estimated net loss severity, which is the percentage of contractual principal cash flows lost in the event of a default, net of the average net recovery, expected to be received on a defaulted loan.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Asset and Liability Input Sensitivity

Changes in the unobservable inputs discussed above may have a significant impact on fair value. Certain of these unobservable inputs will (in isolation) have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the instrument may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input.

For example, increases in the discount rate and net cumulative expected loss rate each will reduce the estimated fair value of loans, notes and certificates. For loan servicing rights, an increase in the discount rate, net cumulative expected loss rate, or market servicing rate will reduce the fair value of the loan servicing rights. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of a loan, loan servicing rights, note or certificate, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for estimating the fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheet; these financial instruments are carried at historical cost or amortized cost in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

    Short-term financial assets: Short-term financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accrued interest receivable. These assets are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the financial instruments.

 

    Short-term financial liabilities: Short-term financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued interest payable, and payables to investors. These liabilities are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the financial instruments.

 

    Term Loan: Based on the frequent interest reset features of the term loan, we consider the carrying value of the term loan to approximate its fair value as of September 30, 2014.

9. Springstone Acquisition

On April 17, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Springstone (the “Acquisition”). As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, Springstone became our wholly owned subsidiary.

Springstone facilitates education and patient finance loans through a network of providers utilizing two issuing banks. Each of Springstone’s issuing banks originates, holds and services the loans they issue. Springstone earns fee revenue from providers for facilitating loans to their customers. The acquisition of Springstone expands the services we offer to both borrowers and will expand services we offer to lenders/investors. We have included the financial results of Springstone in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the sellers received at the closing an aggregate of $113 million in cash and $25 million worth of shares of our Series F convertible preferred stock. In connection with the acquisition, we also paid $2.4 million for transaction costs incurred by Springstone. For accounting purposes, the purchase price was $111.8 million, which was comprised of $109.0 million in cash and shares of Series F convertible preferred stock with an aggregate value of $2.8 million. To secure the retention of certain key employees, a total of $25.6 million comprised of $22.1 million of shares of Series F convertible preferred stock (“Escrow Shares”) and $3.5 million of cash were placed in a third-party escrow, and are subject to certain vesting and forfeiture conditions applicable to these employees continuing employment over a three-year period from the closing. These amounts will be accounted for as a compensation arrangement and expensed over the three-year vesting period. Additionally, $19.0 million of the cash consideration and certain Escrow Shares were placed in a third-party escrow for 15 months from the closing date to secure, in part, the indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement.

The cash portion of the consideration was funded by a combination of cash from us and proceeds from a debt financing and Series F convertible preferred stock financing (see Note 12 – Term Loan and Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity).

We have completed the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities with the exception of finalizing the determination of certain contingent liabilities and the finalization of any deferred tax asset or liability as of the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date is as follows (in thousands):

The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to expected operational synergies, the combined workforce, and the future development initiatives of the combined workforce. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The amounts of net revenue and earnings (losses) of Springstone included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date of April 17, 2014 to September 30, 2014 were $10.4 million and $(4.4) million, respectively. The amounts of revenue and earnings (losses) of Springstone included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $5.7 million and $(2.7) million, respectively. We recorded acquisition-related expenses of $8 thousand and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense.

12. Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Springstone, we entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with several lenders on April 16, 2014, under which the lenders made a $50.0 million term loan to us. In connection with our entry into the credit agreement, we entered into a pledge and security agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as collateral agent.

The term loan matures on April 16, 2017 and requires principal payments of $312,500 per quarter plus interest, with the remaining then unpaid principal amount payable at maturity. The term loan can be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a minimum prepayment of $1.0 million. The term loan is required to be prepaid in certain circumstances, including upon sales of assets other than loans and upon the issuance of debt (other than notes and certificates) or redeemable capital stock.

Borrowings under the term loan bear interest, which at our option may be either (i) a floating base rate tied to an underlying index plus an additional 1.25% per annum or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate (for an interest period of one, two, three or six months) plus an additional 2.25% per annum (a “Eurocurrency Rate Loan”). If a Eurocurrency Rate Loan is selected, customary breakage costs are payable in the case of any prepayment on a date other than the last day of an interest period. The term loan was originally tied to the prime rate but was subsequently converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Loan was 2.57% and 2.65% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

The term loan is also guaranteed by Springstone and LCA and is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets, not otherwise pledged or restricted, subject to certain exceptions.

The credit agreement and pledge and security agreement contain certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries. These covenants include restrictions on our ability to make certain restricted payments, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, place liens on assets, merge or consolidate, make investments and enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. The credit agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than 5.50:1 initially, and decreasing to 3.50:1 after September 30, 2015 (on a consolidated basis). The total leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014 was 2.25:1.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the term loan was $49.2 million. At September 30, 2014, the current portion of the term loan was $1.2 million and the noncurrent portion of the outstanding balance was $48.0 million. We did not have a term loan outstanding balance at December 31, 2013.

In connection with the term loan, we capitalized $1.2 million of debt issuance costs. As of September 30, 2014, the net balance of debt issuance costs was $1.0 million. Interest expense on the term loan, including amortization of debt issuance cost, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. We did not have interest expense on the term loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In connection with the Acquisition, we sold an aggregate of 6,390,556 shares of our Series F convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Financing Shares”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $65.0 million, pursuant to a Series F Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. We sold the Financing Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; all investors in the Preferred Stock Financing were “accredited investors” (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and we made no general solicitation for the sale of the Financing Shares. The Financing Shares are convertible into common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on a one-for-one basis, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

In connection with the sale of Series F convertible preferred stock in April 2014, we filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, which increased the total number of shares that we were authorized to issue from 606,470,064 shares to 622,614,174, 372,000,000 shares of which were designated as common stock and 250,614,174 shares of which were designated as preferred stock. Of the total shares of preferred stock, 67,651,596 shares were designated as Series A convertible preferred stock, 65,577,300 shares were designated as Series B convertible preferred stock, 62,486,436 shares were designated as Series C convertible preferred stock, 36,030,712 shares were designated as Series D convertible preferred stock, 10,000,000 shares were designated as Series E convertible preferred stock and 8,868,130 were designated as Series F convertible preferred stock.

As part of the Acquisition, the sellers received shares of our Series F convertible preferred stock having an aggregate value of $25 million (the “Share Consideration”). $22.1 million of the Share Consideration is subject to certain vesting and forfeiture conditions over a three-year period for key continuing employees. This is accounted for as a compensation arrangement and expensed over the three-year vesting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $3.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense which is reported in general and administrative expenses related to this arrangement.

At September 30, 2014, we had 1,189,392 shares of outstanding convertible preferred Series A stock warrants, which shares of preferred stock have been reserved for future issuance. The convertible preferred Series A stock warrants are fully exercisable with exercise prices of $0.2663 per share and expire in 2018.

The total intrinsic values of options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $40.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $14.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we granted service-based stock options to purchase 18,511,572 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $5.91 per share, a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.37 per share and an aggregate estimated fair value of approximately $81.0 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we granted service-based stock options to purchase 6,267,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $1.46 per share, a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.24 per share and a total estimated fair value of approximately $21.9 million.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of our employees. Participants may elect to contribute a portion of their annual compensation up to the maximum limit allowed by federal tax law. In the second quarter of 2014, management approved an employer 401(k) match of up to 3% of an employee’s eligible compensation with a maximum annual match of $5,000 per employee. For fiscal year 2014, the 401(k) match will be retroactively applied to employees’ eligible contributions from January 1, 2014. The total 401(k) match expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

15. Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $0.4 million and $1.1 million of income tax expense, respectively. The $1.1 million of income tax expense relates to the amortization of tax deductible goodwill from the Acquisition which gives rise to an indefinite-lived deferred tax liability. There was no income tax benefit recorded on the pre-tax loss due to an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. We recorded no income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 because the corporate income tax liabilities due on our taxable income were offset by usage of prior years’ net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has been recorded to recognize only deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

At December 31, 2013, we had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $43.9 million and $40.7 million, respectively, to offset future taxable income. These federal and state net operating loss carry forwards will begin expiring in 2027 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2013, we had federal and state research and development (“R&D”) tax credit carry forwards of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The federal credit carry forwards will begin expiring in 2016 and the state credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

In general, a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOL and R&D carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership changes that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively.

Due to the nature of the unrecognized tax benefits and the existence of tax attributes, we have not accrued any interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statement of operations nor have we recognized a liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We do not believe the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of September 30, 2014, will increase or decrease significantly in the next twelve months.

16. Related Party Transactions

Several of our executive officers and directors (including their immediate family members) have opened investor accounts with us, made deposits and withdrawals to their accounts and purchased notes and certificates. All note and certificate purchases made by related parties were transacted on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by other investors.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments

Corporate Headquarters. We have several operating lease agreements for space at 71 Stevenson Street in San Francisco, California, where our corporate headquarters is located. On August 12, 2014, we amended one of our lease agreements to lease additional office space. The majority of the additional space is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2015. These leases expire on June 30, 2022. On October 1, 2014, we entered into a single master lease agreement for our Corporate Headquarters that superseded all other existing lease agreements for the space. Under this lease agreement, we generally have an option to extend the leases for five years.

Other Real Estate.

We also have an operating lease agreement for space in Westborough, Massachusetts where Springstone is headquartered. On September 15, 2014, we amended our lease agreement to lease additional office space. This lease expires on January 31, 2020 with a renewal option that would extend the lease for five years.

Total facilities rental expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Total facilities rental expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As part of these lease agreements, we currently have pledged $0.2 million of cash and arranged for a $0.2 million letter of credit as security deposits.

Loan Funding Commitments

For loans listed on the platform as a result of direct marketing efforts, we have committed to invest in such loans if investors do not provide funding for all or a portion of such loans. At September 30, 2014, there were 722 such loans on the platform with an unfunded balance of $9.0 million. All of these loans were fully funded by investors by October 8, 2014.

In connection with transitional activities related to the Acquisition, in June 2014 we entered into a contingent loan purchase agreement with an issuing bank that originates loans facilitated by Springstone and a third-party investor that has agreed to purchase certain of those loans from such bank (“Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment”). The Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment provides that we will purchase such loans from the bank if the third-party investor defaults on its loan purchase obligations to the bank through December 31, 2014. The Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment limits the aggregate amount of such loan originations from inception of the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment through December 31, 2014 to a maximum of $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, the amount remaining under the overall limit on the cumulative amount of such loan originations through December 31, 2014 was $2.2 million. We were not required to purchase any such loans pursuant to the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. We do not expect we will be required to purchase any such loans under the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment through its expiration on December 31, 2014.

Credit Support Agreement

We are subject to a credit support agreement with a Certificate investor. The credit support agreement requires us to pledge and restrict cash in support of this contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for cumulative credit losses on loans underlying the investor’s Certificate, that are in excess of a specified, aggregate cumulative loss threshold. The amount of cash to be pledged varies based on the investor’s Certificate purchase volume and cannot exceed $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, cash of $3.4 million was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation. The amount pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation has not changed since July 31, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, the cumulative credit losses pertaining to the investor’s Certificate have not exceeded the specified threshold, nor are future cumulative credit losses expected to exceed the specified threshold, and thus no liability has been recorded. If losses related to the credit support agreement are later determined to be probable to occur and are reasonably estimable, results of operations could be affected in the period in which such losses are recorded.

Legal

In the second quarter of 2014, we offered to settle a dispute with a consultant that previously performed work for us. The dispute arose over how much compensation for the work performed was to be provided in cash and in equity and as to equity what valuations were to be used. In the third quarter of 2014, we amended our offer to the claimant for 120,000 shares of our common stock and cash consideration of $215,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, this offer was further amended to 80,000 shares of our common stock, an option to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock, and cash consideration of $215,000.

During the second quarter of 2014, we also received notice from the California Employment Development Department (“EDD”) that it had commenced an examination of our records concerning the employment relationship of certain individuals who performed services for us from 2011 through 2014. Based on the EDD’s determination, certain of these individuals should have been classified as employees with appropriate tax withholding and employer related taxes incurred and paid. The EDD has completed its examination and issued a Final Notice of Assessment, which serves as the EDD’s official notice of its determination relating to this matter. We intend to pay the assessment during the fourth quarter of 2014 and have recorded a liability for this payment as of September 30, 2014.

Additionally, we settled a claim, which arose in a prior quarter by a former employee who had asserted a claim of wrongful termination.

In connection with these matters, we recorded an additional net charge to operations of $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the accrued liability for these matters was $1.9 million. This aggregate amount represents the probable estimate of tax and settlement liabilities. As settlements have been agreed upon, for the matters indicated above, during the quarter or subsequent to the quarter-end, we do not believe the ultimate liability for such matters will be significantly different from the accrued aggregate liability at September 30, 2014.

We received a Civil Investigative Demand from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) dated June 5, 2014 related to the operations of Springstone. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether Springstone is engaging in unlawful acts or practices in connection with the marketing, issuance, and servicing of loans for healthcare related financing. As of September 30, 2014, we had provided all of the documents requested by the CFPB. We are continuing to evaluate this matter. As of September 30, 2014, there are no probable or estimable losses related to this matter.

In addition to the foregoing, we may be subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. We do not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

18. Subsequent Event

On October 17, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement to lease additional office space at our corporate headquarters. The lease agreement commences in the fourth quarter of 2014 with a lease term of 4.5 years and an option to extend the leases for five years. The annual lease payments for this additional lease are approximately $1.2 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. In addition to historical information, this Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in Part II Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Actual results could differ materially. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to; the level of demand for our products and services; the intensity of competition; our ability to effectively expand and improve internal infrastructure; maintenance of positive cash flows from operations, and adverse financial, customer and employee consequences that might result if litigation were to be initiated and resolved in an adverse manner to us. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, which speak only as of the date of this Report. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Lending Club is the world’s largest online marketplace connecting borrowers and investors. We believe a technology-powered marketplace is a more efficient mechanism to allocate capital between borrowers and investors than the traditional banking system. Consumers and small business owners borrow through Lending Club to lower the cost of their credit and enjoy a better experience than traditional bank lending. Investors use Lending Club to earn attractive risk-adjusted returns from an asset class that has historically been closed to individual investors and only available on a limited basis to institutional investors. Our mission is to transform the banking system to make credit more affordable and investing more rewarding.

Since beginning operations in 2007, our marketplace has facilitated over $6 billion in loans with nearly $1.2 billion of loans facilitated during the third quarter of 2014. We believe the attractiveness of our online marketplace will continue to grow to the extent the number of participants and investments enabled through our marketplace increases. We refer to this as a “network effect.”

Our trusted brand, scale and network effect drives significant borrowing and investing activity on our marketplace. We generate revenue from transaction fees from our marketplace’s role in matching borrowers with investors to enable loan originations, servicing fees from investors and management fees for investment funds and other managed accounts. We do not assume credit risk or use our own capital to invest in loans facilitated by our marketplace, except in limited circumstances and in amounts that are not material. The capital to invest in the loans enabled through our marketplace comes directly from investors. Our proprietary technology automates key aspects of our operations, including the borrower application process, data gathering, credit decisioning and scoring, loan funding, investing and servicing, regulatory compliance and fraud detection. We operate with a lower cost structure than traditional banks due to our innovative model, online delivery and process automation, without the physical branches, legacy technology or high overhead associated with the traditional banking system.

Our marketplace is where borrowers and investors engage in transactions relating to standard or custom program loans. Standard program loans are unsecured, fixed rate, three or five year personal loans in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $35,000 made to borrowers meeting strict credit criteria, including a FICO score of at least 660. Custom program loans are generally new offerings and loans that do not meet the requirements of the standard program and/or loans with longer maturities that we believe to be attractive to most investors. Currently, custom program loans include small business and education and patient finance loans. Small business loans are fixed rate loans in amounts ranging from $15,000 to $100,000, with various maturities between one and five years. Education and patient finance loans are issued in amounts ranging from $499 to $40,000 with various maturities between six and 72 months. Standard program loans are visible through our public website and can be invested in through notes. Separately, qualified investors may also invest in standard program loans in private transactions not facilitated through our website. Custom program loans are only invested in through private transactions with qualified investors and cannot be invested in through notes.

The transaction fees we receive from issuing banks in connection with our marketplace’s role in enabling loan originations range from 1% to 6% of the initial principal amount of the loan as of September 30, 2014. In addition, for education and patient finance loans, transaction fees may exceed 6% as they include fees earned from issuing banks and service providers. Servicing fees paid to us vary based along investment channels. Note investors pay us a servicing fee equal to 1% of each payment amount received from the borrower; whole loan purchasers pay a servicing fee that ranges up to 1.3% per year of the month-end principal balance of sold loans outstanding; and certificate holders generally pay a management fee typically ranging from 0.7% to 1.2% of the assets under management.

Table of Contents

Loans to qualified borrowers are originated by our issuing banks. Investors can invest in loans that are offered through our marketplace in one or all of the following channels:

 

    Notes. Pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement, investors who meet the applicable financial suitability requirements and have completed our investor account opening process may purchase unsecured, borrower payment dependent notes issued by us that correspond to payments received on an underlying standard program loan selected by the investor.

 

    Certificates and Funds. Accredited investors and qualified purchasers who have established a relationship with LC Advisors, LLC (“LCA”), a registered investment advisor and our wholly owned subsidiary, can purchase trust certificates or interests in limited partnerships that purchase trust certificates. The Trust certificates are settled with cash flows from underlying standard or custom program loans in a manner similar to the notes. These loans may be standard program or custom program loans.

 

    Whole Loan Purchases. Certain institutional investors, such as banks, seek to hold the actual loan on their balance sheet. To meet this need, we sell entire standard or custom program loans to investors. In connection with these sales, the investor owns all right, title and interest in each loan. For regulatory purposes, the investor also has access to the underlying borrower information, but is prohibited from contacting or marketing to the borrower in any manner and agrees to hold such borrower information in compliance with all applicable privacy laws. We continue to service these loans after they are sold and can only be removed as the servicer in limited circumstances.

Our note channel consists of the notes that we issue. When an investor registers, the investor enters into an investor agreement with us that governs the investor’s purchases of notes. Our investor services team provides customer support to these investors.

Our certificate channel consists of funds and accounts managed by LCA Certificate investors typically seek to invest larger amounts as compared to the average note investor and desire a more “hands off” approach to investing. Certificates are sold in private transactions between LC and the Trust to investors who have an established relationship with LCA. The Trust acquires and holds these loans for the sole benefit of certificate investors. Investors in certificates generally pay an asset-based management fee instead of the cash flow-based servicing fee paid by investors in notes.

LCA manages several funds that purchase certificates. Each fund provides a passive investment strategy around target loan grade and term allocation, such as 36-month 60% A and 40% B loans, and allows investors to more easily deploy large investment amounts and reinvest payments of principal and investment returns. LCA also manages separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). Investors who utilize SMAs often have investment criteria that differ from the LCA funds’ investment strategies and desire more control over their investment strategies.

Our whole loan channel consists of the whole loans that we or our issuing banks sell in their entirety to investors. Under the whole loan purchase agreements, we establish the investors’ accounts and set out the procedures for the purchase of loans, including any purchase amount limitations, which we control in our discretion. We and the purchaser also make limited representations and warranties and agree to indemnify each other for breaches of the purchase agreement. The purchaser also agrees to simultaneously enter into a servicing agreement with us acting as servicer. Our institutional group is the primary point of contact for whole loan purchasers throughout the life cycle of the relationship, from sourcing and establishing the relationship, negotiating the purchase and servicing agreement and managing the ongoing relationship.

For all investment channels, we agree to repurchase loans in cases of confirmed identity theft.

Stock Split

On April 15, 2014, a 2 for 1 equity stock split approved by our Board of Directors became effective, in which each outstanding share of each series or class of equity capital stock was split into two outstanding shares of such series or class of equity capital stock. Additionally, another 2 for 1 equity stock split became effective on September 5, 2014, in which each outstanding share of each series or class of equity capital stock was split into two outstanding shares of such series or class of equity capital stock. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect these stock splits. The par value of each of the outstanding shares remains the same at $0.01.

Springstone Acquisition

In April, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Springstone, a company that facilitates education and patient finance loans through two issuing banks. For its role in loan facilitation, Springstone earns transaction fees paid by the issuing bank or service provider at the time of origination, which averaged approximately 5.0% of the initial loan balance as of September 30, 2014. Currently, Springstone does not earn any servicing fees, as loans are originated, retained and serviced by the respective issuing bank. We currently intend to continue to have these loans funded and serviced through existing issuing banks while we develop plans to integrate these loans into our standard program over time.

Key Operating and Financial Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

(1) Contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information regarding our use of these measures and a reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Loan Originations

Loans to qualified borrowers are originated by our issuing bank partners. We generate revenue from transaction fees from our role in matching borrowers with investors to enable loans originations. We believe loan originations are a key indicator of the adoption rate of our marketplace, growth of our brand, scale of our business, strength of our network effect, economic competitiveness of our products and future growth. Total loan originations include loans acquired by us, which are either retained by us and financed primarily by notes and certificates or sold to unrelated third parties, and other loan originations by our issuing bank partners that we facilitated, but did not participate as a purchaser of the loan. Loan originations have increased significantly over time due to the increased awareness of our brand, our high borrower and investor satisfaction rates, the effectiveness of our borrower acquisition channels, a strong track record of loan performance and the expansion of our capital sources. Factors that could affect loan originations include the interest rate and economic environment, the competitiveness of our products, the success of our operational efforts to balance investor and borrower demands, any limitations on the ability of our issuing banks to originate loans, our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products for borrowers and investors, the success of our sales and marketing initiatives and the success of borrower and investor acquisition and retention.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP measures 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. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. Contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. Contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

In evaluating contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation.

Contribution and Contribution Margin

Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), excluding net interest income (expense) and other adjustments, general and administrative expense, stock-based compensation, and income tax expense (benefit). Contribution margin is calculated as contribution divided by total operating revenue. Contribution and contribution margin are measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. Contribution and contribution margin have varied from period to period and have generally increased over time. Factors that affect our contribution and contribution margin include revenue mix, variable marketing expenses and origination and servicing expenses.

Net (loss) income is the most comparable GAAP measure to contribution. The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) income to contribution for each of the periods indicated (in thousands except percentages):

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), excluding net interest income (expense) and other adjustments, acquisition and related expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and income tax expense (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total operating revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. Adjusted EBITDA has generally improved over time due to our increased revenue and efficiencies in the scale of our operations.

Net (loss) income is the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (in thousands except percentages):

Net revenue was $56.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a 105% increase over the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher transaction fees paid by issuing banks from increased loan originations. Operating expenses were $63.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a 154% increase over the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher compensation costs, credit decisioning costs, borrower acquisition costs, and operational costs related to Springstone.

Net revenue was $143.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a 122% increase over the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher transaction fees paid by issuing banks from increased loan originations. Operating expenses were $165.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a 176% increase over the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher compensation costs, credit decisioning costs, borrower acquisition costs, acquisition-related expenses and operational costs for Springstone.

Revenue

Our primary sources of revenue consist of transaction fees paid to us by issuing banks related to loan originations facilitated by us, as well as servicing fees and management fees which are charged to investors. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we facilitated $1,165.2 million and $567.1 million of loans, respectively, through our marketplace.

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are fees paid by the issuing banks to us for the work we perform through our marketplace in facilitating originations. The amount of these fees is based upon the terms of the loan, including grade, rate, term and other factors. As of September 30, 2014, these fees ranged from 1% to 6% of the initial principal amount of a loan. In addition, for education and patient finance loans, transaction fees may exceed 6% as they include fees earned from issuing banks and service providers. These fees are recognized as a component of operating revenue at the time of loan issuance.

Transaction fees were $52.6 million and $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 108%. The increase in these fees was primarily due to an increase in loan originations through our marketplace. Originations were $1,165.2 million and $567.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, an increase of 105%. The average transaction fees as a percentage of the principal amount of the loan were 4.5% and 4.4% of the principal amount of loans facilitated for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase in the average loan transaction fee was primarily due to higher percentages of 60-month loans and loans with higher risk grades, each of which have higher corresponding transaction fees, and the addition of education and patient finance loans.

Transaction fees were $133.8 million and $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 142%. The increase in these fees was primarily due to an increase in loan originations through our marketplace. Originations were $2,962.5 million and $1,366.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, an increase of 117%. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $4.9 million in transaction fees recognized between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013, were included in the gain on sale of whole loans, which was included in other revenue. Effective July 1, 2013, we elected to account for loans we intended to sell to whole loan purchasers at fair value and as a result, transaction fees on loans sold are now reflected in transaction fees and not in other revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The average transaction fees as a percentage of the principal amount of loan were 4.5% and 4.4% of the principal amount of loans facilitated for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase in the average loan transaction fee was primarily due to higher percentages of 60-month loans and loans with higher risk grades, each of which have higher corresponding transaction fees, and the addition of education and patient finance loans.

Loan originations have increased significantly over time, including the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to the increased awareness of our brand, our high borrower and investor satisfaction rates, the effectiveness of our borrower acquisition channels, a strong track record of loan performance and the expansion of our capital sources.

Servicing Fees

Investors typically pay us a servicing fee on each payment received from a borrower or on the investors’ month-end balance of loans serviced. The servicing fee compensates us for the costs we incur in servicing the related loan, including managing payments from borrowers, payments to investors and maintaining investors’ account portfolios. These fees are typically 1% of each loan payment received from the borrower or up to 1.3% per year of the month-end principal balance of sold loans outstanding.

Servicing fees were $3.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 244%. Servicing fees were $6.3 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 154%. These increases were primarily due to increased loan payments and balances of notes and certain certificates and sold loans outstanding serviced by us for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, partially offset by changes in the fair value of servicing assets and liabilities.

The following table provides the outstanding principal balance of loans that we serviced at the end of the periods indicated, broken out by the method that the loans were financed (in millions).

Management Fees

Accredited investors and qualified purchasers can invest in limited partner interests in investment funds managed by LCA. LCA typically charges these certificate holders a management fee based on their assets under management, ranging from 0.7% to 1.2% per year. This fee may be waived or reduced for individual limited partners at the discretion of the general partner. LCA does not earn any carried interest from the investment funds.

LCA earned management fees of $1.6 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 85%. LCA earned management fees of $4.2 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 100%. The increase in management fees was due primarily to an increase in assets under management and outstanding certificate balances.

Other Revenue (Expense)

Other revenue consists of revenue from gains and losses on sales of whole loans and referral revenue. Certain investors investing through our marketplace acquire standard or custom loans in their entirety. In connection with these whole loan sales, in addition to the transaction fee earned in respect of the corresponding loan, we recognize a gain or loss on the sale of that loan based on the degree to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate servicing fee (loans are typically sold at par).

Other (expense) revenue was $(0.7) million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of 282%. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in gain on sale of whole loans to third party purchasers.

Other (expense) revenue was $(0.4) million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of 109%. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.0 million decrease in gain on sale of whole loans to third party purchasers, which was offset by the increase in referral commissions. From January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013, we included $4.9 million of transaction fees that was earned in respect of those loans in the gain calculation on whole loan sales, which resulted in higher gains on sale and lower transaction fees.

Except in certain limited circumstances, we do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans originated through our marketplace as it matches borrowers and investors. We are obligated to make principal and interest payments on notes and certificates related to the corresponding loans only to the extent we receive borrower payments. As a result, on our statement of operations for any period and balance sheet as of any date (i) interest income on loans corresponds to the interest expense on notes and certificates and (ii) loan balances correspond to note and certificate balances, with any variations largely resulting from timing differences between the crediting of principal and interest payments on loans versus the disbursement of those payments to investors.

From time to time, however, we may make limited loan investments without issuing a corresponding note or certificate to investors, resulting in differences between total interest income and expense amounts on our statement of operations and total loan and notes and certificates balances on our balance sheets. These loan investments have been related primarily to customer accommodations and have been insignificant. We do not anticipate that such investments will be material in the foreseeable future.

Additionally, interest income (expense) includes interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and interest expense incurred on the term loan that was drawn by the Company in April 2014.

Interest Income on Loans

Interest income on loans was $94.0 million and $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest income from loans was $252.3 million and $124.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest income on loans is primarily due to the increase in the outstanding balances of loans.

Interest Expense on Notes and Certificates

Interest expense on notes and certificates was $94.0 million and $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recorded interest expense for notes and certificates of $252.2 million and $124.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense on notes and certificates was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding balances of notes and certificates.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense on Term Loan

Interest expense on term loan was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. We did not incur any interest on term loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Fair Value Adjustments on Loans and Notes and Certificates

We estimate the fair value of loans and their related notes and certificates using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The discounted cash flow valuation methodology uses the historical defaults and losses and recoveries on our loans over the past several years to project future losses and net cash flows on loans.

The fair value adjustments on loans were largely offset by the fair value adjustments on the notes and certificates at fair value due to the borrower payment dependent design of the notes and certificates, and because the principal balances of the loans are similar to the combined principal balances of the related notes and certificates. Accordingly, the net fair value adjustment (losses) gains for loans and notes and certificates were immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Net Interest Income (Expense) and Other Adjustments

We had net interest income (expense) and other adjustments of $(0.5) million and $10 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net interest income (expense) and other adjustments was primarily due to interest expense incurred on the term loan. We had net interest income (expense) and other adjustments of $(0.9) million and $15 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net interest income (expense) and other adjustments was primarily due to the interest expense incurred on the term loan.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expense, origination and servicing expense and general and administrative expense, including engineering and product development and other general and administrative expense. The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands except percentages):

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of variable marketing expenses, including those related to borrower and investor acquisition and retention and general brand and awareness building, and salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our sales and marketing staff. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $21.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, an increase of 101%. The increase was primarily due to a $9.3 million increase in borrower acquisition costs. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $60.8 million and $26.6 million, respectively, an increase of 129%. The increase was primarily due to a $29.1 million increase in variable marketing expenses.

Origination and Servicing

Origination and servicing expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our credit, collections, customer support and payment processing staff and vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing loans. Origination and servicing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $10.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, an increase of 104%. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in compensation expense as we expanded our credit and customer support teams due to increasing loan applications and a $1.7 million increase in consumer reporting agency and loan processing costs, which was primarily driven by higher loan volume.

Origination and servicing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $26.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, an increase of 137%. The increase was primarily due to a $10.3 million increase in compensation expense as we expanded our credit and customer support teams due to increasing loan applications and a $4.2 million increase in consumer reporting agency and loan processing costs, which was primarily driven by higher loan volume.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are incurred by our engineering and product development and other administrative teams to support the overall business.

Engineering and Product Development

Engineering and product development expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our engineering and product development team and the cost of subcontractors who work on the development and maintenance of our platform. Engineering and product development expense also includes non-capitalized hardware and software costs and depreciation and amortization of technology assets.

Engineering and product development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $9.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, an increase of 140%. The increase was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount and contract labor expense as we enhanced our website tools and functionality and a $1.6 million increase in expensed equipment and software, support and maintenance and depreciation expense reflecting our continued investment in technology infrastructure.

Engineering and product development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $23.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively, an increase of 151%. The increase was primarily due to a $9.7 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount and contract labor expense as we enhanced our website tools and functionality and a $3.8 million increase in expensed equipment and software, support and maintenance and depreciation expense reflecting our continued investment in technology infrastructure.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we capitalized $3.4 million and $8.2 million of software development costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized $0.9 million and $2.0 million of software development costs, respectively. These costs generally are amortized over a three-year period.

Other

Other general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our accounting and finance, business development, legal, human resources and facilities staff, professional fees related to legal and accounting, facilities expense and compensation expense related to the acquisition of Springstone. Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $22.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, an increase of 312%. The increase was primarily due to a $11.7 million increase in compensation expense, $3.5 million of which was the amortization of the compensation arrangement related to certain key continuing employees of Springstone with the remainder primarily related to an increase in headcount and stock based compensation expense and a $2.6 million increase in professional services and amortization of intangibles.

Other general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $55.9 million and $13.3 million, respectively, an increase of 320%. The increase was primarily due to a $26.7 million increase in compensation expense, $6.4 million of which was the amortization of the compensation arrangement related to certain key continuing employees of Springstone with the remainder primarily related to an increase in headcount and stock based compensation expense, a $8.3 million increase in professional services and amortization of intangibles and a $2.1 million increase in contingent legal liabilities.

Springstone Acquisition

As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, Springstone became our wholly owned subsidiary and we have included the financial results of Springstone in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The financial results of Springstone are included in our consolidated financial statements from April 17, 2014, the date of acquisition.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the sellers received at the closing an aggregate of $113 million in cash and $25 million worth of shares of our Series F convertible preferred stock. In connection with the acquisition, we also paid $2.4 million for transaction costs incurred by Springstone. For accounting purposes, the purchase price was $111.8 million, which was comprised of $109.0 million in cash and shares of Series F convertible preferred stock with an aggregate value of $2.8 million. To secure the retention of certain key employees, a total of $25.6 million comprised of $22.1 million of shares of Series F convertible preferred stock (“Escrow Shares”) and $3.5 million of cash were placed in a third-party escrow and are subject to certain vesting and forfeiture conditions applicable to these employees continuing employment over a three-year period from the closing. These amounts will be accounted for as a compensation arrangement and expensed over the three-year vesting period. Additionally, $19.0 million of the cash consideration and certain Escrow Shares were placed in a third-party escrow for 15 months from the closing date to secure, in part, the indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement. We funded the cash portion of the purchase price with proceeds from our Series F convertible preferred stock financing and a $50.0 million term loan with a syndicate of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.

Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $0.4 million and $1.1 million of income tax expense, respectively. The $1.1 million of income tax expense related to the amortization of tax deductible goodwill from the Acquisition which gives rise to an indefinite-lived deferred tax liability. There was no income tax benefit recorded on the pre-tax loss due to an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. We recorded no income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 because the corporate income tax liabilities due on our taxable income were offset by usage of prior years’ net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets, such as the future benefit of net operating loss deductions against future taxable income, can be recognized if realization of such tax-related assets is more likely than not. Given our history of operating losses, it is difficult to accurately forecast when and in what amounts future results will be affected by the realization, if any, of the tax benefits of future deductions for our net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception through September 30, 2014, we have raised approximately $168.0 million, net of issuance costs, through preferred stock financings. Historically, we have funded our operations with proceeds from debt financing, preferred stock issuances and common stock issuances. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated positive cash flows from operations.

At September 30, 2014, we had $82.7 million in available cash and cash equivalents. We primarily hold our excess unrestricted cash in short-term interest-bearing money market funds at highly-rated financial institutions. We believe that our current cash position is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2014, we had $25.2 million in restricted cash that consisted primarily of pledged cash of $3.0 million as security for our primary issuing bank, $3.4 million for an investor as part of a credit support agreement, $16.8 million of cash received from investors and not yet applied to their accounts and $1.5 million as security for a correspondent bank that clears our borrowers’ and investors’ cash transactions.

At September 30, 2014, the net outstanding balance on the term loan was $49.2 million. This term loan matures on April 16, 2017 and requires principal payments of $0.3 million per quarter, with the remaining then unpaid principal amount payable at maturity. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 2.57% and 2.65% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant.

(1) Cash used in investing activities includes the purchase of loans and repayment of loans originated through our marketplace. Cash provided by financing activities includes the issuance of notes and certificates to investors and the repayment of those notes and certificates. These amounts generally correspond to each other.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $35.4 million. Cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in certain components of our working capital, including a decrease in other assets of $13.2 million that was primarily related to payments of receivables due from investors, and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.8 million. Additionally, $10.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities was generated by the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $23.9 million, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant expense of $25.9 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $6.6 million and non-cash changes in the fair values of servicing assets and liabilities of $1.8 million, net. Also included in cash flows from operations were the purchases and sales of loans that we intended to sell, along with the gain or loss on such sales, and changes in accrued interest receivable and payable, which largely offset one another.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $925.5 million. Cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from $1.5 billion of cash used to purchase loans at fair value, $109.5 million for the Springstone acquisition, $15.0 million of purchases of property, equipment and software and a $11.4 million increase in restricted cash, partially offset by $739.5 million of principal payments received on loans at fair value.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $923.5 million. Cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from $1.5 billion of proceeds from issuance of notes and certificates, $64.8 million net proceeds from our sale of Series F convertible preferred stock in connection with the Springstone acquisition, $49.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of a term loan and an $12.9 million increase in the amount payable to investors, partially offset by $732.3 million in principal payments made on notes and certificates.

Term Loan

In connection with the Springstone acquisition, we entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with several lenders in April 2014, under which the lenders made a $50.0 million term loan to us. In connection with our entry into the credit agreement, we entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.

The term loan matures in April 2017 and requires principal payments of $0.3 million per quarter plus interest, with the remaining then-unpaid principal amount payable at maturity. The term loan can be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a minimum prepayment of $1.0 million. The term loan is required to be prepaid in certain circumstances, including upon sales of assets other than loans and upon the issuance of debt (other than notes and certificates) or redeemable capital stock. Borrowings under the credit agreement accrued interest at a weighted-average rate of 2.57% and 2.65% per annum for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

The term loan is also guaranteed by Springstone and LCA and is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets, not otherwise pledged or restricted, subject to certain exceptions.

Table of Contents

The credit and pledge agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries. These include restrictions on our ability to make certain restricted payments, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, incur indebtedness, place liens on assets, merge or consolidate, make investments and enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. The credit agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 5.50:1 initially, and decreasing to 3.50:1 after September 30, 2015 (on a consolidated basis). The total leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014 was 2.25:1.

The credit agreement also contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after a grace period, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties and breaches of covenants, subject in certain cases to a grace period, cross-default to defaults in indebtedness in excess of $25.0 million, bankruptcy, judgments, change in control and other material events. The credit agreement and ancillary agreements provide customary remedies upon an event of default.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 or the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Contingencies

Loan Funding Commitments

For loans listed in the marketplace as a result of direct marketing efforts, we have committed to invest in such loans if investors do not provide funding for all or a portion of such loans. At September 30, 2014, there were 722 such loans in the marketplace with an unfunded balance of $9.0 million. All of these loans were fully funded by investors by October 8, 2014.

In connection with transitional activities related to the Acquisition, in June 2014 we entered into a contingent loan purchase agreement with an issuing bank that originates loans facilitated by Springstone and a third-party investor that has agreed to purchase certain of those loans from such bank (“Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment”). The Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment provides that we will purchase such loans from the bank if the third-party investor defaults on its loan purchase obligations to the bank through December 31, 2014. The Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment limits the aggregate amount of such loan originations from inception of the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment through December 31, 2014 to a maximum of $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, the amount remaining under the overall limit on the cumulative amount of such loan originations through December 31, 2014 was $2.2 million. We were not required to purchase any such loans pursuant to the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. We do not expect we will be required to purchase any such loans under the Contingent Loan Purchase Commitment through its expiration on December 31, 2014.

Credit Support Agreement

We are subject to a credit support agreement with a Certificate investor. The credit support agreement requires us to pledge and restrict cash in support of this contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for cumulative credit losses on loans underlying the investor’s Certificate, that are in excess of a specified, aggregate cumulative loss threshold. We are currently obligated to pledge cash, not to exceed $5.0 million, to support this contingent obligation, which cash balance is premised upon the investor’s certificate purchase volume. As of September 30, 2014, cash of approximately $3.4 million was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation. The amount pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation has not changed since July 31, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, the credit losses pertaining to the investor’s Certificate have not exceeded the specified threshold, nor are future credit losses expected to exceed the specified threshold, and thus no expense or liability has been recorded. If losses related to the credit support agreement are later determined to be likely to occur and are reasonably estimable, results of operations could be affected in the period in which such losses are recorded.

Legal

In the second quarter of 2014, we offered to settle a dispute with a consultant that previously performed work for us. The dispute arose over how much compensation for the work performed was to be provided in cash and in equity and as to equity what valuations were to be used. In the third quarter of 2014, we amended our offer to the claimant for 120,000 shares of our common stock and cash consideration of $215,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, this offer was further amended to 80,000 shares of our common stock, an option to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock, and cash consideration of $215,000.

During the second quarter of 2014, we also received notice from the California Employment Development Department (“EDD”) that it had commenced an examination of our records concerning the employment relationship of certain individuals who performed services for us from 2011 through 2014. Based on the EDD’s determination, certain of these individuals should have been classified as employees with appropriate tax withholding and employer related taxes incurred and paid. The EDD has completed its examination and issued a Final Notice of Assessment, which serves as the EDD’s official notice of its determination relating to this matter. We intend to pay the assessment during the fourth quarter of 2014 and have recorded a liability for this payment as of September 30, 2014.

Additionally, we settled a claim, which arose in a prior quarter by a former employee who had asserted a claim of wrongful termination.

In connection with these matters, we recorded an additional net charge to operations of $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the accrued liability for these matters was $1.9 million. This aggregate amount represents the probable estimate of tax and settlement liabilities. As settlements have been agreed upon, for the matters indicated above, during the quarter or subsequent to the quarter-end, we do not believe the ultimate liability for such matters will be significantly different from the accrued aggregate liability at September 30, 2014.

We received a Civil Investigative Demand from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) dated June 5, 2014 related to the operations of Springstone. The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether Springstone is engaging in unlawful acts or practices in connection with the marketing, issuance, and servicing of loans for healthcare related financing. As of September 30, 2014, we had provided all of the documents requested by the CFPB. We are continuing to evaluate this matter. As of September 30, 2014, there are no probable or estimable losses related to this matter.

In addition to the foregoing, we may be subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. We do not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes to these accounting policies during the first nine months of 2014 except for our initial application of the acquisition method in accounting for a business combination, the accounting for intangible assets, including goodwill and the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, as described below.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the fair value of acquired businesses in excess of the aggregate fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment exist. Our annual impairment testing date is April 1. We can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit (defined as business for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) exceeds its carrying value. A qualitative assessment may consider macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital, or company specific factors such as market capitalization in excess of net assets, trends in revenue generating activities and merger or acquisition activity.

If we elect to bypass qualitatively assessing goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, management will estimate the fair values of our reporting units and compare them to their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the reporting units will be established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model or a market approach which compares each reporting unit to comparable companies in their respective industries.

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We do not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Servicing Asset/Liability

We record servicing assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values when we sell whole loans to unrelated third-party whole loan buyers or when the servicing contract commences. The gain or loss on a loan sale is recorded in “Other Revenue” while the component of the gain or loss that is based on the degree to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate loan servicing fee is recorded as an offset in servicing assets or liabilities. Servicing assets and liabilities are recorded in “Other Assets” and “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities,” respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Over the life of the loan, changes in the estimated fair value of servicing assets and liabilities are reported in “Servicing Fees” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur.

 

41


Table of Contents

We use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the loan servicing asset or liability which considers the contractual servicing fee revenue we earn on the loans, estimated market rate servicing fee to service such loans, the current principal balances of the loans and projected servicing revenues over the remaining terms of the loans.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In May, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new update on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-13 “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Measuring the Financial Assets and The Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity” to amend the existing standards. This ASU provides an alternative to current fair value measurement guidance to an entity that consolidates a collateralized financing entity (“CFE”) that has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and financial liabilities. If elected, the entity could measure both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CFE by using the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable. The election would effectively eliminate any measurement difference previously reflected in earnings and attributed to the reporting entity in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new update on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The following table presents aggregated consumer reporting agency information for standard program loans issued from our inception to September 30, 2014, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us. This information is reported in the table as of the time of the loan application. As used in this table, “Delinquencies in the Last Two Years” means the number of 30+ days-past-due incidences of delinquency in the borrower’s credit file for the preceding two years from the date of loan application. We do not independently verify this information. All figures other than loan grade are agency reported at the time of application.

Cumulative Charge-off Rate – 60 Month Standard Program Loans

The graph and corresponding tables below show the cumulative net lifetime charge-offs for standard program loans with original terms of 60 months by grade and by annual vintage booked from May 1, 2010 through September 30, 2014, as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of originations. The charge-offs are tracked by annual vintage, meaning each line represents all 60 month standard program loans originated in that year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We had cash and cash equivalents of $82.7 million as of September 30, 2014. These amounts were held primarily in cash on deposit with banks and interest-bearing money market accounts, which are short-term. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Due to their short-term nature, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of these liquid investments as a result of changes in interest rates. Decreases in short-term interest rates will not reduce interest income because of the low rates currently earned on the liquid investments. Increases in short-term interest rates will modestly increase the interest income earned on the investments. Because the amounts, interest rates and maturities of loans are almost completely matched and offset by an equal amount of notes and certificates with the exact same interest rates and maturities, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the net fair value of our combined loan, note and certificate portfolios as a result of changes in interest rates.

We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to loans and the related notes and certificates that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Loans and the related notes and certificates do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value of loans and the related notes and certificates are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology utilizing assumptions market participants use for credit losses, changes in the interest rate environment and other factors. The fair value adjustments for loans are largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the notes and certificates due to the borrower payment dependent design of the notes and certificates and due to the total principal balances of the loans being very close to the combined principal balances of the notes and certificates. Accordingly, we do not have material exposure to market risk with respect to the fair value of these financial instruments.

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to loan servicing rights that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value of loan servicing assets and liabilities are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology utilizing assumptions market participants use for adequate servicing compensation, credit losses, discount rates and contractual fee income. We do not have a material exposure to market risk with respect to the fair value of these financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please refer to Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies—Legal of the Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion in this Report should be read together with the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013. These risk factors describe various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. In addition, these risks could have a material adverse effect on the value of any notes or other securities you purchase and could cause you to lose all or part of your initial purchase price or future principal and interest payments you expect to receive.

In addition, you should consider the following:

RISKS RELATING TO LC AND THE LC PLATFORM

We have incurred substantial debt and may issue debt securities or otherwise incur substantial debt in the future, which may adversely affect our financial condition and negatively impact our operations.

We have in the past incurred, and may in the future incur, substantial debt. The incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

 

    default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenue is insufficient to repay debt obligations;

 

    acceleration of obligations to repay the indebtedness (or other outstanding indebtedness), even if we make all principal and interest payments when due, if we breach any covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 

    our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

 

    diverting a substantial portion of cash flow to pay principal and interest on such debt, which would reduce the funds available for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; and

 

    creating potential limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate.

The occurrence of any of these risks could adversely affect our operations or financial condition.

The increased scrutiny of third-party medical financing by governmental agencies may lead to increased regulatory burdens on Springstone and adversely affect our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Springstone, through its issuing bank partners, provides education and patient financing options, including for elective medical procedures. Recently, regulators increased scrutiny of third-party providers of financing for medical procedures that are generally not covered by health insurance. For example, in December 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) fined GE Capital Retail Bank $34.1 million for insufficient training, disclosures and practices related to their medical financing services. In addition, attorneys general in New York and Minnesota have conducted investigations on alleged abusive lending practices or exploitation regarding third-party medical financing services.

In June 2014, Springstone received a civil investigative demand from the CFPB for documents and other tangible items related to its programs that provide healthcare financing. If Springstone’s practices are ultimately found to be deficient, resulting in fines, penalties or increased burdens on Springstone’s activities, our consolidated operating costs could increase. Additionally, such regulatory inquiries or actions could damage Springstone’s and our reputations and limit Springstone’s ability to conduct operations, which could adversely affect our consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of any law, rule or regulation affecting this industry may also increase Springstone’s administrative costs, modify its practices to comply with applicable requirements and reduce its ability to participate competitively, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated revenue or results of operations.

Our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical, and if it contains undetected errors, our business could be adversely affected.

Our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amounts of data. The software on which we rely has contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors or bugs. Some errors may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors or other design defects within the software on which we rely may result in a negative experience for borrowers and investors, delay introductions of new features or enhancements, result in errors or compromise our ability to protect borrower or investor data or our intellectual property. Any errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software on which we rely could result in harm to our reputation, loss of borrowers or investors, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES AND THE CORRESPONDING LOANS ON WHICH THE NOTES ARE DEPENDENT

If the credit decisioning and scoring models we use contain errors or are otherwise ineffective, our reputation and relationships with borrowers and investors could be harmed and our market share could decline.

Our ability to attract borrowers and investors to, and build trust in, our marketplace is significantly dependent on our ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. To conduct this evaluation, we utilize credit decisioning and scoring models that assign each loan offered on our marketplace a grade and a corresponding interest rate. Our marketplace’s credit decisioning and scoring models are based on algorithms that evaluate a number of factors, including behavioral data, transactional data and employment information, which may not effectively predict future loan losses. If we are unable to effectively segment borrowers into relative risk profiles, we may be unable to offer attractive interests rates for borrowers and returns for investors. We refine these algorithms based on new data and changing macro and economic conditions. If any of these credit decisioning and scoring models contain programming or other errors, are ineffective or the data provided by borrowers or third parties is incorrect or stale, our loan pricing and approval process could be negatively affected, resulting in mispriced or misclassified loans or incorrect approvals or denials of loans. While we have not incurred any material liabilities to date, if these errors were to occur in the future, investors may try to rescind their affected investments or decide not to invest in loans or borrowers may seek to revise the terms of their loans or reduce the use of our marketplace for loans.

If we were to become subject to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, the right of payment of investors in our notes may be senior to the right of payment of our stockholders and there may not be value recoverable by our stockholders.

Under the terms of the notes offered through our marketplace, we are obligated to pay principal and interest on each note on a non-recourse basis only if and to the extent that we receive principal, interest or late fee payments from the borrower on the corresponding loan, but the notes become fully recourse to us if we fail to pay such obligation, which would include being prohibited from making such payments as a result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, or if we breach a covenant under the indenture governing the notes. In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding due to a default under current or future indebtedness, an action for repurchase or rescission of securities or other event, there is uncertainty regarding whether a holder of a note has any right of payment from our assets other than the corresponding loan. It is possible that a note holder could be deemed to have a right of payment from both the corresponding loan and from some or all of our other assets, in which case the note holder would have a claim to the proceeds of our assets that is senior to any right of payment of the holders of our common stock, regardless of whether we have received any payments from the underlying borrower, making it highly unlikely that there would be any value recoverable by our stockholders.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We have no publicly traded equity securities. At September 30, 2014, there were approximately 275 holders of record of our common stock. We have not paid cash dividends since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None.
