1. Q4 2025 Financial Results
Oportun Financial recorded GAAP net income of $3.4 million in Q4 2025 and $25 million for the full year, marking a $104 million improvement over 2024. Adjusted EPS climbed 89% year-over-year, while total revenue edged down 1% and originations declined 5% to $495 million due to tighter underwriting.
2. Credit Performance and Funding
The annualized net charge-off rate ended Q4 at 12.3%, at the favorable end of guidance, and 30-day delinquencies remained stable. The company closed a $485 million ABS issuance at a 5.32% weighted average yield, reduced high-cost corporate debt, and lowered interest expense by 8% year-over-year, enhancing liquidity.
3. 2026 Outlook and Guidance
Management expects Q1 2026 to represent the peak net charge-off rate at approximately 12.65%, with improvements starting in Q2 as early delinquencies moderate. Full-year 2026 revenue is projected to be flat to slightly down on conservative credit standards, given persistent inflation, modest wage growth and uneven job creation.
