ELEVATE CREDIT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

FORT WORTH, TX - August 9, 2022 - Elevate Credit, Inc. (NYSE: ELVT) (“Elevate” or the “Company”), a leading tech-enabled provider of innovative and responsible online credit solutions for non-prime consumers, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
“The first half of 2022 has largely met our expectations from both a top-line and bottom-line perspective," said Jason Harvison, Elevate CEO. "Beginning in late June, we, like many others in our space, have noted softer credit due to inflationary pressures on non-prime Americans. Given this changing market environment, we will take a more cautious approach to growth in the second half of the year."
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results1
Revenues: Revenues increased 39% during the second quarter of 2022 to $117.6 million, compared to $84.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in quarterly revenue is primarily attributable to higher average combined loans receivable-principal resulting from growth in all products year over year.
Combined loans receivable - principal: Combined loans receivable - principal totaled $532.4 million at June 30, 2022, a sequential quarter increase of 4% from $511.3 million at March 31, 2022 and an increase of 33% from $399.3 million at June 30, 2021. The fair value of the combined loans receivable-principal balance was $585.9 million, representing a fair value premium of 10% which is down from the pro-forma fair value premium of 13% at June 30, 2021 and flat with the 10% fair value premium at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. The higher portfolio fair value premium in the prior year is due to a more mature portfolio resulting from reduced marketing and new loan origination activity in 2020 to early 2021 resulting from the impacts of COVID-19.
Credit quality: Past due balances remained consistent at 10% at June 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs as a percentage of revenue during the second quarter of 2022 were 55% compared to 31% during the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net charge-offs as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the heightened volume of new to former customers added to the platform in the second half of 2021.
Net income (loss): Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $(6.5) million compared to a net loss of $(3.0) million (pro-forma net income of $3.5 million) in the second quarter of 2021. Fully diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $(0.21), a decrease from $(0.09) per fully diluted share a year ago. Pro-forma fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $0.10 per fully diluted share. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for details on the pro-forma fair value adjustments reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, down from $19.4 million, pro-forma, in the second quarter of 2021. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 10.5%, down from 22.9%, pro-forma, in the prior-year second quarter.

__________________
1Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial information, combined loans receivable - principal, combined loans receivable, and combined loan loss reserve are non-GAAP financial measures. These terms are defined elsewhere in this release. Please see the schedules appearing later in this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Year-to-date 2022 Financial Results1
Revenues: Revenues increased 39% during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $241.9 million, compared to $174.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to higher average combined loans receivable-principal resulting from growth in all products year over year.
Net income (loss): Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $(20.5) million compared to net income of $9.7 million (pro-forma net income of $4.5 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share for the first half of 2022 totaled $(0.65), a decrease from $0.27 per fully diluted share a year ago. Pro-forma fully diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2021 totaled $0.12 per fully diluted share. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for details on the pro-forma fair value adjustments reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA totaled $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, down from $36.4 million, pro-forma, from the prior year period. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 4.3%, down from 20.9%, pro-forma, in the first half of 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company paid down its Victory Park Management LLC ("VPC") debt facilities by approximately $25 million in the first quarter, while drawing down a net $12.5 million on its debt facilities in the second quarter of 2022 to help fund loan growth. The Company's use of its debt facilities with VPC and Park Cities Asset Management LLC to fund the portfolio growth during the past year with incremental borrowings at a cost of 9% on the VPC facilities has resulted in an overall weighted average rate on the facilities of 9.10% as of June 30, 2022, down from 9.61% at June 30, 2021. Total debt at June 30, 2022 was $517.5 million compared to $353.0 million at June 30, 2021. The Company had $74 million of cash available at the end of the quarter on June 30, 2022.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company purchased $2.0 million of common shares (760.1 thousand common shares) under the Company's previously approved common stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has purchased roughly 5% of common shares outstanding at the beginning of the year and approximately 36% of all common shares issued and outstanding since August 2019 under this common stock repurchase program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the attached financial tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial information, combined loans receivable and combined loan loss reserve. Elevate's non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of its competitors and other companies.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, Elevate uses certain non-GAAP measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted EBITDA margin", (collectively, "Adjusted Earnings Measures") in assessing its operating performance. Elevate believes these non-GAAP measures are appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of its business.
Elevate defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), non-operating income loss, net interest expense, share-based compensation expense, equity method investment loss and depreciation and amortization expense. Elevate defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Elevate also included unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial information to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2021.
Management believes that Adjusted Earnings Measures are useful supplemental measures to assist management and investors in analyzing the operating performance of the business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations of our core business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures frequently in its decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and gives an additional indication of Elevate’s core operating performance. Elevate includes these non-GAAP financial measures in its earnings announcement in order to provide transparency to its investors and enable investors to better compare its operating performance with the operating performance of its competitors.
Adjusted Earnings Measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management's use of Adjusted Earnings Measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
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 does not reflect expected cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital assets;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; and
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest associated with notes payable used for funding customer loans, for other corporate purposes or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to the Company.
Additionally, Elevate’s definition of Adjusted Earnings Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated financial information
The following unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statement of operations information provides information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 assuming the adoption of ASU 2016-13 occurred as of January 1, 2021. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro-forma accounting adjustments based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that the Company believes are reasonable. Management believes the pro-forma financial information is a useful supplemental measure to assist management and investors in analyzing the operating performance of the business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations of our core business. In particular, management believes that this information provides investors with period-over-period comparability given the significant change to our financial statements resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Combined Loan Information

The Elastic line of credit product is originated by a third-party lender, Republic Bank, which initially provides all of the funding for that product. Republic Bank retains 10% of the balances of all of the loans originated and sells a 90% loan participation in the Elastic lines of credit to a third party SPV, Elastic SPV, Ltd. Elevate is required to consolidate Elastic SPV, Ltd. as a variable interest entity under GAAP and the condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue, losses and loans receivable related to the 90% of Elastic lines of credit originated by Republic Bank and sold to Elastic SPV, Ltd.
Since the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company licensed its Rise installment loan brand to a third-party lender, FinWise Bank, which originates Rise installment loans in seventeen states. FinWise Bank initially provides all of the funding, retains 4% of the balances of all of the loans originated and sells the remaining 96% loan participation in those Rise installment loans to a third party SPV, EF SPV, Ltd. Elevate is required to consolidate EF SPV, Ltd. as a variable interest entity under GAAP and the condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue, losses and loans receivable related to the 96% of Rise installment loans originated by FinWise Bank and sold to EF SPV, Ltd.
Beginning in 2018, the Company started licensing the Today Card brand and its underwriting services and platform to launch a credit card product originated by Capital Community Bank ("CCB"), which initially provides all of the funding for that product. CCB retains 5% of the credit card receivable balance of all the receivables originated and sells a 95% participation in the Today Card credit card receivables to a wholly-owned subsidiary SPV of the Company, Today SPV. The Today Card program began expanding in 2020.
Since the third quarter of 2020, the Company also licenses its Rise installment loan brand to an additional third-party lender, CCB, which originates Rise installment loans in three states. Similar to the relationship with FinWise Bank, CCB initially provides all of the funding, retains 5% of the balances of all of the loans originated and sells the remaining 95% loan participation in those Rise installment loans to a third-party SPV, EC SPV, Ltd. Elevate is required to consolidate EC SPV, Ltd. as a variable interest entity under GAAP and the condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue, losses and loans receivable related to the 95% of the Rise installment loans originated by CCB and sold to EC SPV, Ltd.

Elevate defines combined loans receivable - principal as loans owned by the Company plus loans originated and owned by third-party lenders pursuant to our CSO programs. Under these programs, the Company does not make Rise loans directly, but rather acts as a Credit Services Organization (which is also known as a Credit Access Business), or, “CSO,” and the loans are originated by an unaffiliated third party. There were no new loan originations in 2021 under the CSO programs, but the Company continued to have obligations as the CSO until the wind-down of this portfolio was completed in the third quarter of 2021. Elevate defines combined loan loss reserve as the loan loss reserve for loans owned by the Company plus the loan loss reserve for loans originated and owned by third-party lenders and guaranteed by the Company. The information presented in the tables below on a combined basis are non-GAAP measures based on a combined portfolio of loans, which includes the total amount of outstanding loans receivable that the Company owns and that are on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets plus outstanding loans receivable originated and owned by third parties that the Company guarantees pursuant to CSO programs in which the Company participates.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential loan losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the combined loan portfolio on an aggregate basis. The Company also believes that the comparison of the combined amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets since both revenues and cost of sales as reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are impacted by the aggregate amount of loans the Company owns and those CSO loans the Company guarantees.
The Company's use of total combined loans and fees receivable has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Rise CSO loans were originated and owned by a third-party lender; and
Rise CSO loans were funded by a third-party lender and were not part of the VPC Facility.
As of each of the period ends indicated, the following table presents a reconciliation of:
Loans receivable, net, Company owned (which reconciles to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this press release);
Loans receivable, net, guaranteed by the Company;
Combined loans receivable (which the Company uses as a non-GAAP measure); and
Combined loan loss reserve (which the Company uses as a non-GAAP measure).
