Business Update

"We are very pleased with our preliminary third quarter results, including earnings that significantly beat the analyst consensus estimate," said Todd Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of OppFi. "We are excited to share final results after the market-close on November 9th, when we expect to raise full-year earnings guidance for the third time this year."

"Solid revenue growth year over year was driven by higher quality originations and stronger customer payment activity, while earnings rebounded with improved credit performance and expense leverage year over year," continued Schwartz.
