Bull points
- We think that as we indicated when we presented the unit economic model for the first time last time, which is represented on Page 21 of the deck that went out that with a little bit of growth, we'll be able to generate those results over time, right?
- So we've already started working on a renewal, and we've got lots of interested parties. And so I would say I don't have a specific update to share right now, but the process is going very well. And that's actually not surprising in the least to me, given the improvement in our credit performance and given the fact that warehouse lenders principally look towards the takeout opportunity in the asset-backed market. And as you may recall, which we shared on the last earnings call in February, we came to market with a $200 million term ABS deal, and it was 10x oversubscribed and priced substantially tighter than expected. So the asset-backed market remains strong. We continue to have access, and that bodes well for a very successful secured personal line renewal, warehouse renewal.
- We remain focused on substantially increasing our profitability in 2024 and beyond by driving performance in our 3 differentiated, core products: Unsecured and Secured Personal Loans as well as our Savings product.
Bear points
- the ability to generate significant amounts of cash is important. So we're pleased with the role that it's playing both in terms of cash generation. And then we mentioned in the last earnings call that people that were using -- borrowers that were using the savings app had delinquency rates that were 45% lower than those who were not.
- originations of $338 million were down 17% year-over-year.
- higher interest expense.
