LendingClub Reports First Quarter 2021 Results
Sequential Revenue Growth of 40% Exceeds High End of Guidance
Raising Full Year Outlook
    
SAN FRANCISCO – April 28, 2021 – LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), America’s leading digital marketplace bank, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
“We had a great start to the year, accelerating personal loan origination growth by leveraging our strategic advantages including our customer base of 3 million members, our data and technology capabilities, and our newly acquired digital bank,” said Scott Sanborn, CEO of LendingClub. “Personal loans are paving the road to our broader ambitions as our vertically integrated model delivers a new and recurring revenue stream, lowers our issuance costs and generates strong and sustained growth.”

Results Reflect Completed Acquisition of Radius (now LendingClub Bank) and Strong Sequential Growth
•63% sequential growth in origination volume.
•40% sequential growth in total revenue, driven by growth in originations, partially offset by revenue deferrals on originations retained on the balance sheet.
◦20% sequential growth in non-interest income, representing 83% of total revenue.
◦New, recurring revenue stream of net interest income of $18.5 million compared to $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
•Stronger first quarter revenue growth improved bottom line results versus our guidance.
•First quarter 2021 net loss of $47 million included $44 million of the following notable items: $21 million of Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) expenses related to acquired loans and loan growth, $14 million of net revenue deferrals on retained loans, and $9 million of non-recurring expenses related to the acquisition of Radius.

Strategic and Financial Benefits of Digital Bank Acquisition Are Being Realized Immediately
•Successfully transitioned to all new personal loan originations being issued through LendingClub Bank as we exited the quarter, saving on issuing fees previously paid to a third-party issuing bank partner.
•Retained $344 million of personal loans, building an attractive and recurring revenue stream which generates approximately 3x the earnings of loans sold through the marketplace.
•Benefited from a core deposit base of over $2 billion from the acquisition, reducing overall funding costs by approximately 300 basis points compared to 2020.
•Leveraged new digital banking capabilities and extended support of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which has cumulatively facilitated over $870 million of loans to help small businesses keep over 75,000 people employed.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

The following table is provided to delineate between the assets and liabilities belonging to our member payment dependent self-directed retail program (Retail Program) note holders and certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP. Such assets are not legally ours and the associated liabilities are payable only from the cash flows generated by those assets (i.e. Pass-throughs). As such, these debt holders do not have a secured interest in any other assets of LendingClub. We believe this is a useful measure because it illustrates the overall financial stability and operating leverage of the Company.

(1)    Represents loans held for investment at fair value that are funded directly by our Retail Program notes. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. We do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans facilitated through our lending marketplace that are funded by our Retail Program because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes with the exact same interest rates and maturities. We do not retain any economic interests from our Retail Program. Interest expense on Retail Program notes of $18.4 million and $28.9 million was equally matched and offset by interest income from the related loans of $18.4 million and $28.9 million for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting in no net effect on our net interest income.
(2)    Represents assets and equal and offsetting liabilities of certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP, but which are not legally ours. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Interest expense on these liabilities owned by third parties of $5.1 million and $10.5 million was equally matched and offset by interest income on the loans of $5.1 million and $10.5 million for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting in no net effect on our net interest income. Economic interests held by LendingClub, including
