SAN MATEO, California–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Upstart Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPST), a leading artificial intelligence (AI) lending marketplace, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Upstart also announced the end of its fiscal year in the second quarter. Business and financial results for 2022 will be released on Monday, August 8, 2022 after market close.

Second Quarter 2022 Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results:

  • revenue is estimated at approximately $228 million, previously $295 to $305 million
  • contribution margin expected to be approx. 47%, previously forecast approx. 45%
  • net income (loss) is expected to be in the range of US$31 million to US$27 million, up from US$4 million to US$0 million

“Fears of inflation and recession have pushed interest rates higher, putting banks and capital markets on a cautious footing,” said Dave Girouard, co-founder and CEO of Upstart. “Our sales were negatively impacted by two factors in roughly equal measure. First, our market’s funding is constrained, largely due to macro concerns among lenders and capital market participants. Second, during the second quarter, we took action to convert loans into cash on our balance sheet, which negatively impacted our earnings given the rapidly rising interest rate environment.”

“During the second quarter, we improved our unit economics and positioned ourselves for continued positive cash flow even at lower origination levels. With a low fixed cost basis, we expect to continue to add to our nearly $800 million unconstrained cash balance and continue to buy back Upstart stock when it makes sense. Finally, despite restricting recruitment to critical areas, we continue to invest in our models and products and are confident that Upstart will emerge a stronger company from this cycle.”

Upstart CFO Sanjay Datta said: “Despite the turbulent economic climate, Upstart-based loans have performed exceptionally well. For loans brokered through our platform and held by our more than 60 banking and credit union partners, average returns have consistently met or exceeded expectations since the program began in 2018.”

“For loans purchased by non-bank institutions, all 2018-2020 vintages delivered significant excess returns, while our 2021 is within 100 basis points of our loss expectations. Finally, we believe our models are well matched to economic conditions and are currently targeting returns in excess of 10 percent.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results, which are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe the non-GAAP measure of contribution margin is useful in evaluating our operational performance.

We believe non-GAAP information is useful in evaluating results of operations, ongoing operations, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
