CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

our expectations regarding our future revenue, expenses, and other operating results and key operating metrics;
our ability to attract new merchants and commerce partners and retain and grow our relationships with existing merchants and commerce partners;
our ability to compete successfully in a highly competitive and evolving industry;
our ability to attract new consumers and retain and grow our relationships with our existing consumers;
our expectations regarding the development, innovation, introduction of, and demand for, our products;
our ability to successfully maintain our relationship with Celtic Bank as an originating bank partner and engage additional originating bank partners;
our ability to maintain, renew or replace our existing funding arrangements and build and grow new funding relationships;
the impact of any of our funding sources becoming unwilling or unable to provide funding to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
our ability to effectively price and score credit risk using our proprietary risk model;
the performance of loans facilitated and originated through our platform;
the future growth rate of our revenue and related key operating metrics;
our ability to achieve or sustain profitability in the future, including in the manner and timeframe we have previously communicated;
our ability to remain in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business;
our ability to protect our confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information;
past and future acquisitions, investments, and other strategic investments;
our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand and intellectual property;
litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, and proceedings;
developments in our regulatory environment;
the impact of macroeconomic conditions on our business, including the impacts of inflation, a rising interest rate environment and corresponding increases in negotiated interest rate spreads, increasing recessionary concerns and the instability of financial institutions; and
the size and growth rates of the markets in which we compete.
Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks,

Table of Contents
uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, and in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (the Annual Report”). Other sections of this Form 10-Q may include additional factors that could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive, heavily regulated and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, events, or circumstances. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

In addition, statements such as “we believe” and similar statements reflect our current beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Investors and others should note that we may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (investors.affirm.com), our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), webcasts, press releases, conference calls, and social media. We use these mediums, including our website, to communicate with investors and the general public about our company, our products, and other issues. It is possible that the information that we make available on our website may be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our website. The contents of our website are not incorporated into this filing. We have included our investor relations website address as an inactive textual reference and do not intend it to be an active link to our website.

1.   Business Description

Affirm Holdings, Inc. (“Affirm,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), headquartered in San Francisco, California, provides consumers with a simpler, more transparent, and flexible alternative to traditional payment options. Our mission is to deliver honest financial products that improve lives. Through our next-generation commerce platform, agreements with originating banks, and capital markets partners, we enable consumers to confidently pay for a purchase over time, with terms ranging from one to sixty months. When a consumer applies for a loan through our platform, the loan is underwritten using our proprietary risk model, and once approved, the consumer selects their preferred repayment option. Loans are directly originated or funded and issued by our originating bank partners.

Merchants partner with us to transform the consumer shopping experience and to acquire and convert customers more effectively through our frictionless point-of-sale payment solutions. Consumers get the flexibility to buy now and make simple regular payments for their purchases and merchants see increased average order value, repeat purchase rates, and an overall more satisfied customer base. Unlike legacy payment options and our competitors’ product offerings, which charge deferred or compounding interest and unexpected costs, we disclose up-front to consumers exactly what they will owe — no hidden fees, no deferred interest, no penalties.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), disclosure requirements for interim financial information, and the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Management believes these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal and recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

Our interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. Under this basis of presentation, our financial statements consolidate all wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”), in which we have a controlling financial interest. These include various business trust entities and limited partnerships established to enter into warehouse credit agreements with certain lenders for funding debt facilities and certain asset-backed securitization transactions. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our variable interest arises from contractual, ownership, or other monetary interests in the entity, which changes with fluctuations in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. We consolidate a VIE when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We assess whether or not we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to determination of variable consideration for revenue, the allowance for credit losses, capitalized internal-use software development costs, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, loss on loan
12

Table of Contents
purchase commitment, the fair value of servicing assets and liabilities, discount on directly originated loans, the fair value of assets acquired and any contingent consideration transferred in business combinations, the evaluation for impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, the fair value of available for sale debt securities including retained interests in our securitization trusts, the fair value of residual certificates issued by our securitization trusts held by third parties, and stock-based compensation, including the fair value of warrants issued to nonemployees. We base our estimates on market-based inputs, historical experience, current events, and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subjective in nature and to the extent that there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or operating results in future periods may be affected.

These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.  

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on August 29, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

    In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosure” which addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the current expected credit losses model or “CECL” previously issued in ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)”. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing the disclosure requirements for loan refinancing and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases in the vintage disclosures. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. Amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively except for the transition method related to the accounting for troubled debt restructurings in which an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. We early adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our interim condensed financial statements.

Business Combinations

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities, such as deferred revenue, acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). ASU 2021-08 is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including for interim periods, and is applicable to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs within the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We early adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our interim condensed financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. Subject to meeting certain criteria, the new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying contract modification accounting under existing U.S. GAAP, to address the expected phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In January 2021, the FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope”, which provides additional optional expedients and exceptions applicable to all entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848”, to extend the temporary accounting rules under Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. These ASUs are effective for all entities upon their respective issuance dates through December 31, 2024. We have reviewed all our financial agreements that utilize LIBOR as the reference rate and determined there is no impact to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023. Throughout the remaining effective period for ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01 and ASU 2022-06, we will continue to evaluate the available relief measures within each of these amendments and will determine any impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures, as applicable.


3.   Revenue

The following table presents the company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,Nine Months Ended March 31,

Total Revenue, net$380,978 $354,762 $1,142,160 $985,158 

Merchant Network Revenue

Merchant partners (or integrated merchants) are generally charged a fee based on gross merchandise volume (GMV) processed through the Affirm platform. The fees vary depending on the individual arrangement between us and each merchant and on the terms of the product offering. The fee is recognized at the point in time the merchant successfully confirms the transaction, which is when the terms of the executed merchant agreement are fulfilled. We may originate certain loans via our wholly-owned subsidiaries, with zero or below market interest rates. In these instances, the par value of the loans originated is in excess of the fair market value of such loans, resulting in a loss, which we record as a reduction to merchant network revenue. In certain cases, the losses incurred on loans originated for a merchant may exceed the total network revenue earned on those loans. To the extent we do not expect to recover the losses in future periods, we record the excess loss amounts as a sales and marketing expense.

A portion of merchant network revenue relates to affiliate network revenue, which is generated when a user makes a purchase on a merchant’s website after being directed from an advertisement on Affirm’s website or mobile application. We earn a fixed placement fee and/or commission as a percentage of the associated sale. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation has been fulfilled, which is when the sale occurs.
14

Table of Contents
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no merchants that exceeded 10% of total revenue.

Virtual Card Network Revenue

We have agreements with issuer processors to facilitate transactions through the issuance of virtual debit cards to be used by consumers at checkout. Consumers can apply for a virtual debit card through the Affirm app and, upon approval, receive a single-use virtual debit card to be used for their purchase online or offline at a non-integrated merchant. The virtual debit card is funded at the time a transaction is authorized using cash held by the issuer processor in a reserve fund. Our originating bank partner then originates a loan to the consumer once the transaction is confirmed by the merchant. The non-integrated merchants are charged interchange fees by the issuer processor for virtual debit card transactions, and the issuer processor shares a portion of this revenue with us. We also leverage this issuer processor as a means of integrating certain merchants. Similarly, for these arrangements with integrated merchants, the merchant is charged interchange fees by the issuer processor and the issuer processor shares a portion of this revenue with us.

Interest Income

Interest income consisted of the following components (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,Nine Months Ended March 31,
2023202220232022
Interest income on unpaid principal balance$147,759 $95,253 $379,755 $266,868 
Amortization of discount on loans39,130 45,443 116,937 138,853

Total interest income$178,270 $134,599 $470,393 $390,256 

We accrue interest income using the effective interest method. Interest income on a loan is accrued daily, based on the finance charge disclosed to the consumer, over the term of the loan based upon the principal outstanding. The accrual of interest on a loan is suspended if a formal dispute with the consumer involving either Affirm or the merchant of record is opened, or a loan is 120 days past due. Upon the resolution of a dispute with the consumer, the accrual of interest is resumed, and any interest that would have been earned during the disputed period is retroactively accrued. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the balance of loans held for investment on non-accrual status was $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Gain on Sales of Loans

We sell certain loans we originate or purchase from our originating bank partners directly to third-party investors or to securitizations. We recognize a gain or loss on sale of loans sold to third parties or to unconsolidated securitizations as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the loan, adjusted for the initial recognition of any assets or liabilities incurred upon sale, which generally include a net servicing asset or liability in connection with our ongoing obligation to continue to service the loans and a recourse liability based on our estimate of future losses in connection with our obligation to repurchase loans that do not meet certain contractual requirements and such information about the loan was unknown at the time of sale.

Table of Contents
Servicing Income

Servicing income includes contractual fees specified in our servicing agreements with third-party loan owners and unconsolidated securitizations that are earned from providing professional services to manage loan portfolios on their behalf. Servicing income also includes fair value adjustments for servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

4.   Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses

    Loans held for investment consisted of the following (in thousands):
March 31, 2023June 30, 2022
Unpaid principal balance$3,823,038 $2,516,733 
Accrued interest receivable33,997 20,697 
Premiums on loans held for investment7,896 8,911 
Less: Discount due to loss on loan purchase commitment (45,368)(20,692)
Less: Discount due to loss on directly originated loans(43,486)(20,443)
Less: Fair value adjustment on loans acquired through business combination(535)(1,645)
Total loans held for investment$3,775,542 $2,503,561 

Loans held for investment includes loans originated through our originating bank partners and directly originated loans. The majority of the loans that are underwritten using our technology platform and originated by our originating bank partners are later purchased by us. We purchased loans from our originating bank partners in the amount of $3.7 billion and $11.7 billion during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and $3.0 billion and $8.6 billion during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

These loans have a variety of lending terms as well as maturities ranging from one to sixty months. Given that our loan portfolio focuses on one product segment, point-of-sale unsecured installment loans, we generally evaluate the entire portfolio as a single homogeneous loan portfolio and make merchant or program specific adjustments as necessary.

We closely monitor credit quality for our loan receivables to manage and evaluate our related exposure to credit risk. Credit risk management begins with initial underwriting, where loan applications are assessed against the credit underwriting policy and procedures for our directly originated loans and originating bank partner loans, and continues through to full repayment of a loan. To assess a consumer who requests a loan, we use, among other indicators, internally developed risk models using detailed information from external sources, such as credit bureaus where available, and internal historical experience, including the consumer’s prior repayment history on our platform as well as other measures. We combine these factors to establish a proprietary score as a credit quality indicator.

Our proprietary score (“ITACs”) is assigned to most loans facilitated through our technology platform, ranging from zero to 100, with 100 representing the highest credit quality and therefore the lowest likelihood of loss. The ITACs model analyzes the characteristics of a consumers attributes that are shown to be predictive of both willingness and ability to repay including, but not limited to: basic features of a consumers credit profile, a consumers prior repayment performance with other creditors, current credit utilization, and legal and policy changes. When a consumer passes both fraud and credit policy checks, the application is assigned an ITACs score. ITACs is also used for portfolio performance monitoring. Our credit risk team closely tracks the distribution of ITACs at the portfolio level, as well as ITACs at the individual loan level to monitor for signs of a changing credit profile within the portfolio. Repayment performance within each ITACs band is also monitored to support both the integrity of the risk scoring models and to measure possible changes in consumer behavior amongst various credit tiers.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses at a level sufficient to absorb expected credit losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in our loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on our current estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term, historical credit losses, consumer payment trends, estimates of recoveries, and future expectations as of each balance sheet date. Adjustments to the allowance each period for changes in our estimate of lifetime expected credit losses are recognized in earnings through the provision for credit losses presented on our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Loans are charged-off in accordance with our charge-off policy, as the contractual principal becomes 120 days past due. Subsequent recoveries of the unpaid principal balance, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Acquisitions completed during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023

Butter Holdings Ltd

On February 1, 2023, we completed the closing of the transaction contemplated by a share purchase agreement entered into with certain sellers to acquire the entire issued share capital of Butter Holdings Ltd., (“Butter”) a buy now, pay later company based in the United Kingdom. The purchase price was comprised of (i) $14.9 million in cash, subject to adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement, and (ii) $1.5 million settlement of subordinated secured notes.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Butter was approximately $16.3 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cash$14,863 
Settlement of subordinated secured notes1,475 
Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred$16,337 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and reflects the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The acquired identifiable intangible assets have been recorded at their estimated fair values with the excess purchase price assigned to goodwill. The goodwill was primarily attributed to future synergies from integration. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the consideration paid of approximately $16.3 million to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, which are included in general and administrative expense in the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Acquisitions completed during the nine months ended March 31, 2022

ShopBrain

On July 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of technology and intellectual property from Yroo, Inc. and entered into employment arrangements with certain of its employees (“the ShopBrain acquisition”). Yroo, Inc. is a data aggregation and cataloging technology company based in Canada (“ShopBrain”). The purchase price was comprised of (i) $30.0 million in cash and (ii) 151,745 shares of our Class A common stock issued to the shareholders of ShopBrain at closing.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $40.0 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cash$30,000 
Fair value of Class A common stock transferred10,000 
Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred$40,000 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and reflects the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The acquired identifiable intangible assets have been recorded at their estimated fair values with the excess purchase price assigned to goodwill. The goodwill was primarily attributed to future synergies from integration and the value of the assembled workforce. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair values of the intangible assets were determined by applying the replacement cost method. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and thus represents Level 3 measurements.

The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, which are included in general and administrative expense within the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no transaction costs associated with the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
            
Other acquisitions

Fast

On April 19, 2022, we completed the closing of the transaction contemplated by a Release and Waiver Agreement entered into with Fast AF, Inc., (“Fast”) relating to the hiring of certain of its employees or service providers and an option to acquire certain of its assets. The purchase price was comprised of (i) $10.0 million in cash and (ii) forgiveness of a $15.0 million senior secured note issued to Fast in April 2022 prior to the closing.
The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 since the assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business. The acquired identifiable intangible assets have been recorded at a total cost of $25.4 million, which includes approximately $0.4 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition. The excess of the total cost of the assets over their total fair value was allocated between the assets on the basis of their relative fair values. The fair values of the intangible assets were determined by applying the replacement cost method. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and thus represent Level 3 measurements.

Accounts Receivable, net

Our accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from payment processors, merchant partners, affiliate network partners and servicing fees due from third-party loan owners. We evaluate accounts receivable to determine management’s current estimate of expected credit losses based on historical experience and future expectations and record an allowance for credit losses, as applicable. Our allowance for credit losses with respect to accounts receivable was $12.3 million and $13.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Commercial Agreement Assets

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we granted warrants in connection with our commercial agreements with certain subsidiaries of Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”). The warrants were granted in exchange for certain performance provisions and the benefit of acquiring new users. We recognized an asset of $133.5 million associated with the portion of the warrants that were fully vested upon grant. The asset was valued based on the fair value of the warrants and represents the probable future economic benefit to be realized over the approximate 3.2 year term of the commercial agreement at the grant date. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized amortization expense of $10.2 million and $31.1 million, respectively, and $10.2 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 in our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of sales and marketing expense. Refer to Note 15. Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion of the warrants.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an asset in connection with a commercial agreement with Shopify Inc. (“Shopify”), in which we granted warrants in exchange for the opportunity to acquire new merchant partners. This asset represents the probable future economic benefit to be realized over the expected benefit period and is valued based on the fair value of the warrants on the grant date. We recognized an asset of $270.6 million associated with the fair value of the warrants, which were fully vested as of March 31, 2023. The expected benefit period of the asset was initially estimated to be four years, and the remaining useful life of the asset is reevaluated each reporting period. During fiscal year 2022, the remaining expected benefit period was extended by two years upon the execution of an amendment to the commercial agreement with Shopify which extended the term of the agreement. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded amortization expense related to the commercial agreement asset of $8.8 million and $26.9 million, respectively, and $16.7 million and $50.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, in our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of sales and marketing expense.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an asset in connection with a commercial agreement with an enterprise partner, in which we granted stock appreciation rights in exchange for the benefit of acquiring access to the partner's consumers. This asset represents the probable future economic benefit to be realized over the three-year expected benefit period and is valued based on the fair value of the stock appreciation rights on the grant date. We initially recognized an asset of $25.9 million associated with the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded amortization expense related to the asset of $2.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and $2.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, in our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of sales and marketing expense.

7. Leases

We lease facilities under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2030. We have the option to renew or extend our leases. Certain lease agreements include the option to terminate the lease with prior written notice ranging from nine months to one year. As of March 31, 2023, we have not considered such provisions in the determination of the lease term, as it is not reasonably certain these options will be exercised. Leases have remaining terms that range from less than one year to eight years.

Several leases require us to obtain standby letters of credit, naming the lessor as a beneficiary. These letters of credit act as security for the faithful performance by us of all terms, covenants and conditions of the lease agreement. The cash collateral and deposits for the letters of credit have been recognized as restricted cash in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $9.7 million as of both March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

There was no impairment expense incurred related to leases during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 the impairment expense related to leases was not material to our interim consolidated statement of operations.

We have subleased a portion of our leased facilities. Sublease income totaled $0.9 million and $2.6 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

8.   Commitments and Contingencies

Repurchase Obligation

Under the normal terms of our whole loans sales to third-party investors, we may become obligated to repurchase loans from investors in certain instances where a breach in representation and warranties is identified. Generally, a breach in representation and warranties would occur where a loan has been identified as subject to verified or suspected fraud, or in cases where a loan was serviced or originated in violation of Affirm’s guidelines. We would only experience a loss if the contractual repurchase price of the loan exceeds the fair value on the repurchase date. This amount was not material as of March 31, 2023.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The results of such matters often cannot be predicted with certainty. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish an accrued liability for legal proceedings and claims when those matters present loss contingencies which are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Toole v. Affirm Holdings, Inc.

On February 28, 2022, plaintiff Jeffrey Toole filed a putative class action against Affirm and Max Levchin in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Toole action”). The Toole action alleged that Affirm violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by issuing and then subsequently deleting a tweet from its official Twitter account on February 10, 2022, which omitted full details of Affirm’s second quarter fiscal 2022 financial results. Plaintiff sought class certification, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and costs and expenses. On September 28, 2022, the Court granted Affirm’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim with leave to amend within 21 days. No amended complaint was filed by the deadline. On October 20, 2022, the Court dismissed the putative class action and entered judgment in Affirm’s favor.

Vallieres v Levchin, et al.

On April 25, 2022, plaintiff Michael Vallieres filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Vallieres action”) against Affirm, as a nominal defendant, and certain of Affirm’s current officers and directors as defendants based on allegations substantially similar to those in the Toole action. The Vallieres complaint purported to assert claims on Affirm's behalf for breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, unjust enrichment, and contribution under the federal securities laws, and sought corporate reforms, unspecified damages and restitution, and fees and costs. On January 12, 2023, the Court dismissed the derivative action without prejudice.

Williams v. Levchin, et al.

On September 16, 2022, plaintiff Ron Williams filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Williams action”) against Affirm, as a nominal defendant, and certain of Affirm’s current and former officers and directors as defendants based on allegations substantially similar to those in the Toole action and Vallieres action. The Williams complaint purported to assert six causes of action on Affirm's behalf—violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. The plaintiff in the Williams action also alleged a cause of action against defendant Levchin for contribution under 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The Williams complaint sought corporate reforms, unspecified damages and restitution, and fees and costs. On December 22, 2022, the Court dismissed the derivative action without prejudice.

Kusnier v. Affirm Holdings, Inc.

On December 8, 2022, plaintiff Mark Kusnier filed a putative class action lawsuit against Affirm, Max Levchin, and Michael Linford in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Kusnier action”). Plaintiff’s amended complaint filed on May 5, 2023 alleges that defendants: (i) caused Affirm to make materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Affirm’s BNPL service facilitated excessive consumer debt (including with respect to certain for-profit educational institutions), regulatory arbitrage, and data harvesting; (ii) made false and/or misleading statements about certain public regulatory actions; and (iii) made false and/or misleading statements about whether Affirm’s business model was vulnerable to interest rate changes. In light of the above, plaintiff asserts that Affirm violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and that Levchin and Linford violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiff seeks class certification, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and costs and expenses.

Quiroga v. Levchin, et al.

On March 29, 2023, plaintiff John Quiroga filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Affirm, as a nominal defendant, and certain of Affirm's current officers and directors as defendants based on allegations substantially similar to those in the Kusnier action. The Quiroga complaint purports to assert claims on Affirm's behalf for contribution under the federal securities laws, breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets, and seeks corporate reforms, unspecified damages and restitution, and fees and costs. On May 1, 2023, the action was stayed by agreement of the parties. The stay can be lifted at the request of either party or upon certain conditions relating to the resolution of the Kusnier action.

We have determined, based on current knowledge, that the aggregate amount or range of losses that are estimable with respect to our legal proceedings, including the matters described above, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Amounts accrued as of March 31, 2023 were not material. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties, and cannot be predicted with certainty.

9.   Transactions with Related Parties

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties). Some of our directors, principal officers, and their immediate families have received loans facilitated by us, in accordance with our regular consumer loan offerings. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance and interest earned on such accounts is immaterial.

Warehouse Credit Facilities

Through subsidiaries, we entered into warehouse credit facilities with certain lenders to finance the purchase and origination of our loans. Borrowings under these agreements are referred to as funding debt and proceeds from the borrowings can only be used for the purposes of facilitating loan funding and origination, with advance rates ranging from 82% to 88% of the total collateralized balance. These revolving facilities mature between fiscal years 2024 and 2029, and subject to covenant compliance, generally permit borrowings up to 12 months prior to the final maturity date of each respective facility. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate commitment amount of these facilities was $4.0 billion on a revolving basis, of which $1.5 billion was drawn, with $2.5 billion remaining available. Some of the loans originated by us or purchased from the originating bank partners are pledged as collateral for borrowings in our facilities. The unpaid principal balance of these loans totaled $1.8 billion and $0.8 billion as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Our U.S. based warehouse credit facilities and certain lending facilities funding the origination of loans outside of the U.S., have been classified as VIEs and are bankruptcy-remote special-purpose vehicles in which creditors do not have recourse against the general credit of Affirm. Funding debt, net of deferred issuance costs, primarily held within our VIEs represents $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion, as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

We accrue monthly interest expense on each warehouse based on the contractual terms set forth in the applicable credit agreement. Interest expense also includes capitalized transaction fees which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the warehouse agreement. The contractual interest rate varies across each warehouse facility and is either based on a benchmark interest rate (such as LIBOR, SOFR, Canadian Prime Rate, CDOR, or the Government of Canada Central Bank Rate), or an alternative commercial paper rate (which is the per annum rate equivalent to the weighted-average of the per annum rates at which all commercial paper notes were issued by certain lenders to fund advances or maintain loans), plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 4.25%. In addition, these agreements require payment of a monthly unused commitment fee ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum on the undrawn portion available.

These agreements contain certain customary negative covenants and financial covenants including maintaining certain levels of minimum liquidity, maximum leverage, and minimum tangible net worth. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the agreements.

Repurchase Agreements

We entered into certain sale and repurchase agreements pursuant to our retained interests in our off-balance sheet securitizations where we have sold these securities to a counterparty with an obligation to repurchase at a future date and price. The repurchase agreements each have an initial term of three months and subject to mutual agreement by Affirm and the counterparty, we may enter into a repurchase date extension for an additional three month term at market interest rates on such extension date. As of March 31, 2023, the interest rates were 6.68% for both the senior pledged securities and the residual certificate pledged securities. We had $17.5 million and $27.0 million in debt outstanding under our repurchase agreements disclosed within funding debt on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The debt will be amortized through regular principal and interest payments on the pledged securities. The outstanding debt relates to $25.2 million and $32.4 million in pledged securities disclosed within securities available for sale at fair value on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Convertible Senior Notes

On November 23, 2021, we issued $1,725 million in aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The total net proceeds from this offering, after deducting debt issuance costs, were approximately $1,704 million. The 2026 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2026 Notes do not bear interest except in special circumstances described below, and the principal amount of the 2026 Notes does not accrete. The 2026 Notes mature on November 15, 2026.

Each $1,000 of principal of the 2026 Notes will initially be convertible into 4.6371 shares of our common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $215.65 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events set forth in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes (the “Indenture”). Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at any time on or after August 15, 2026 until close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of November 15, 2026. Further, holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2026, only under the following circumstances:

1) during any calendar quarter commencing after March 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

3) if the Company calls any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

4) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events.

Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at the Company’s election. If we satisfy our conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, the amount of cash and shares of common stock, if any, due
29

Table of Contents
upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value (as set forth in the Indenture) calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 40 trading day observation period.

No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes. We may not redeem the notes prior to November 20, 2024. We may redeem for cash all or part of the notes on or after November 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any.

If a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2026 Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. In addition, if specific corporate events occur prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes, we will be required to increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2026 Notes in connection with such corporate events.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into a series of privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our 2026 Notes, pursuant to which we paid an aggregate amount of $206.6 million in cash for the repurchase of $299.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes (the “2026 Note Repurchases”). The carrying amount of the extinguished 2026 Notes was approximately $296.4 million resulting in a $89.8 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, which is reported as a component of other income, net within our interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In exchange for paying cash pursuant to the 2026 Note Repurchases, we received and canceled the repurchased 2026 Notes.

The convertible senior notes outstanding as of March 31, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):
Principal AmountUnamortized Discount and Issuance Cost Net Carrying Amount
Convertible Senior Notes$1,425,900 $(12,555)$1,413,345 

The 2026 Notes do not bear interest. We recognized $1.0 million and $3.1 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and $1.0 million and $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss within other income, net. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining life of the 2026 Notes is approximately 44 months.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 4, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks for a $165.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. On May 16, 2022, we increased unsecured revolving commitments under the facility to $205.0 million. This facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate determined by reference to the forward-looking term SOFR rate for the interest period, plus an applicable margin of 1.85% per annum or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the U.S. prime rate and (iii) the one-month forward-looking term SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 0.85% per annum. The revolving credit agreement has a final maturity date of February 4, 2025. The facility contains certain covenants and restrictions, including certain financial maintenance covenants, and requires payment of a monthly unused commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the undrawn balance available. There are no borrowings outstanding under the facility as of March 31, 2023.

11.  Securitization and Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Warehouse Credit Facilities

We established certain entities, deemed to be VIEs, to enter into warehouse credit facilities for the purpose of purchasing loans from our originating bank partners and funding directly originated loans. Refer to Note 10. Debt for additional information. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of Affirm and the liabilities of the VIEs can only be settled by the respective VIEs’ assets; however, as the servicer of the loans pledged to our warehouse funding facilities, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance. In addition, we retain significant economic exposure to the pledged loans and therefore, we are the primary beneficiary.

Securitizations

In connection with our asset-backed securitization program, we sponsor and establish trusts (deemed to be VIEs) to ultimately purchase loans facilitated by our platform. Securities issued from our asset-backed securitizations are senior or subordinated, based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated residual interests issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria. For these VIEs, the creditors have no recourse to the general credit of Affirm and the liabilities of the VIEs can only be settled by the respective VIEs’ assets. Additionally, the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs.

We consolidate securitization VIEs when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and therefore have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIEs’ economic performance and a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Through our role as the servicer, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIEs’ economic performance. In evaluating whether we have a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider our retained interests. We also earn a servicing fee which has a senior distribution priority in the payment waterfall.

In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of our involvement with the VIEs. Management assesses whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs on an ongoing basis.

Where we consolidate the securitization trusts, the loans held in the securitization trusts are included in loans held for investment, and the notes sold to third-party investors are recorded in notes issued by securitization trusts in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For each securitization, the residual certificates represent the right to receive excess cash on the loans each collection period after all fees and required distributions have been made to the note holders on the related payment date. For the majority of consolidated securitization VIEs, we retain 100% of the residual trust certificates issued by the securitization trust. Any portion of the residual trust certificates sold to third-party investors are measured at fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, and presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the retained residual certificates, our continued involvement includes loan servicing responsibilities over the life of the underlying loans.

We defer and amortize debt issuance costs for consolidated securitization trusts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the notes.

Maximum exposure to losses represents our exposure through our continuing involvement as servicer and through our retained interests. For unconsolidated VIEs, this includes $25.2 million in retained notes and residual certificates disclosed within securities available for sale at fair value in our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets and an immaterial amount related to our servicing assets disclosed within other assets in our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023.

Additionally, we may experience a loss due to future repurchase obligations resulting from breaches in representations and warranties in our securitization and third-party sale agreements. This amount was not material as of March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
Retained Beneficial Interests in Unconsolidated VIEs

The investors of the securitizations have no direct recourse to the assets of Affirm, and the timing and amount of beneficial interest payments is dependent on the performance of the underlying loan assets held within each trust. We have classified our retained beneficial interests in unconsolidated securitization trusts as “available for sale” and as such they are disclosed at fair value in our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities for additional information on the fair value sensitivity of the notes receivable and residual certificates. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, we have pledged each of our retained beneficial interests as collateral in a sale and repurchase agreement as described in Note 10. Debt.

13.   Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) to manage exposure to variable interest rates. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility in cash flows associated with our funding activities, arising from changes in interest rates. We do not employ derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2023, we used a combination of interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swaps to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable interest rates. FASB ASC 815-10 requires that an entity recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position. In accordance with that Subtopic, we designate certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, while others are not designated as hedges. Certain of our derivative agreements provide for netting arrangements for contracts that settle with the same counterparty, however, we do not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. As such, the fair values are presented gross within other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities. Offsetting collateral received by or paid to the counterparty is presented gross within accrued expenses and other liabilities or other assets, as applicable, on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in order to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates on our variable rate warehouse funding debt. The interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. These swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are documented and designated as such when we enter into the contracts. In accordance with our risk management policies, we structure our hedges with terms similar to that of the item being hedged. We formally assess, at inception of the hedge accounting relationship and on a quarterly basis, whether derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes to the forecasted cash flows of the hedged items.

The gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged cash flows are recognized in funding costs within the interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The amount that is reclassified into earnings is presented in the interim consolidated statements of income in funding costs, the same line item in which the hedged transaction is recognized.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

We have interest rate caps and interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments. We enter into these contracts to manage interest rate risk. Any changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are reflected in other income, net, on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

14.   Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis (Level 2)

Securities Available for Sale

As of March 31, 2023, we held marketable securities classified as available for sale. Management obtains pricing from one or more third-party pricing services for the purpose of determining fair value. Whenever available, the fair value is based on quoted bid prices as of the end of the trading day. When quoted prices are not available, other methods may be utilized including evaluated prices provided by third-party pricing services.

Derivative Instruments

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, our derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, based on prices quoted for similar financial instruments in markets that are not active. Refer to Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on our derivative instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

We evaluate our financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. Since our servicing assets and liabilities, performance fee liability, securitization notes and residual trust certificates, contingent consideration, and profit share liability do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, we use significant unobservable inputs to measure fair value. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

Servicing Assets and Liabilities

We sold loans with an unpaid balance of $1.7 billion and $5.8 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and $2.0 billion and $5.6 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, for which we retained servicing rights.

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we serviced loans which we sold with a remaining unpaid principal balance of $4.2 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively.

We use discounted cash flow models to arrive at an estimate of fair value. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of our servicing rights are as follows:

Adequate Compensation

We estimate adequate compensation as the rate a willing market participant would require for servicing loans with similar characteristics as those in the serviced portfolio. 

Discount Rate

Estimated future payments to be received under servicing agreements are discounted as a part of determining the fair value of the servicing rights. For servicing rights on loans, the discount rate reflects the time value of money and a risk premium intended to reflect the amount of compensation market participants would require.

Net Default Rate

We estimate the timing and probability of early loan payoffs, loan defaults and write-offs, thus affecting the projected unpaid principal balance and expected term of the loan, which are used to project future servicing revenue and expenses.

We earned $21.4 million and $64.3 million of servicing income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, and $23.5 million and $44.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the servicing assets was measured at $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and presented within other assets on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the servicing liabilities was measured at $3.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Performance Fee Liability

In accordance with our agreements with our originating bank partners, we pay a fee for each loan that is fully repaid by the consumer, due at the end of the period in which the loan is fully repaid. We recognize a liability upon the purchase of a loan for the expected future payment of the performance fee. This liability is measured using a discounted cash flow model and recorded at fair value and presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are reflected in other income, net, on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Retained Beneficial Interests in Unconsolidated VIEs

As of March 31, 2023, the Company held notes receivable and residual trust certificates with an aggregate fair value of $25.2 million in connection with unconsolidated securitizations. The balances correspond to the 5% economic risk retention the Company is required to maintain as the securitization sponsor.

These assets are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model, and presented within securities available for sale at fair value on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value, other than declines in fair value due to credit recognized as an allowance, are reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Contingent Consideration

Our acquisition of PayBright, Inc. (“PayBright”) on January 1, 2021 included consideration transferred and 2,587,362 shares of our common stock held in escrow, contingent upon the achievement of future milestones. At the acquisition date, we classified the contingent consideration as a liability and estimated its fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation utilizing assumptions of simulated revenue, equity volatility, and a discount rate. The liability is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting date, utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation for periods in which actual revenues are unknown, until the contingency is resolved. During the year ended June 30, 2022, one of these milestones was achieved and 1,293,681 shares of our Class A common stock were released from escrow, resulting in a reduction to the contingent liability. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, an additional milestone was achieved and the fair value was estimated based on the shares expected to be released from escrow multiplied by the estimated share price. The fair value estimate represents a Level 3 measurement, as the revenue milestone represents a significant unobservable input. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting date is recognized as a component of other income, net in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the respective period.

Profit Share Liability

On January 1, 2021, we entered into a commercial agreement with an enterprise partner, in which we are obligated to share in the profitability of transactions facilitated by our platform. Upon capture of a loan under this program, we record a liability associated with the estimated future profit to be shared over the life of the loan based on estimated program profitability levels. This liability is measured using a discounted cash flow model and recorded at fair value and presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Total91,572,543 84,314,979 

The common stock is not redeemable. We have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Each holder of Class A common stock has the right to one vote per share of common stock. Each holder of Class B common stock has the right to 15 votes and can be converted at any time into one share of Class A common stock. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the corporation, and are entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of the common stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the corporation legally available therefore, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Common Stock Warrants

Common stock warrants are included as a component of additional paid in capital within the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In November 2021, we granted warrants to purchase 22,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with our commercial agreements with Amazon. 7,000,000 of the warrant shares have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a term of 3.5 years, while the remaining 15,000,000 warrant shares have an exercise price of $100 per share and a term of 7.5 years. We valued the warrants at the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions: a dividend yield of zero; years to maturity of 3.5 and 7.5 years, respectively; volatility of 45%; and a risk-free rate of 0.93% and 1.47%, respectively. We recognized an asset of $133.5 million associated with the portion of the warrants that were fully vested at the grant date. Refer to Note 6. Balance Sheet Components for more information on the asset and related amortization during the period. The remaining grant-date fair value of the warrants will be recognized within our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of sales and marketing expense as the warrants vest, based upon Amazon’s satisfaction of the vesting conditions. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, a total of $104.1 million and $361.8 million, respectively, was recognized within sales and marketing expense which included $10.2 million and $31.1 million, respectively, in amortization expense of the commercial agreement asset and $93.9 million and $330.7 million, respectively, in expense based upon the grant-date fair value of the warrant shares that vested. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, a total of $102.4 million and $173.0 million, respectively, was recognized within sales and marketing expense which included $10.2 million and $16.0 million, respectively, in amortization expense of the commercial agreement asset and $92.2 million and $157.0 million, respectively, in expense based upon the grant-date fair value of the warrant shares that vested.


16.   Equity Incentive Plans

2012 Stock Plan

Under our Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), we may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. As of March 31, 2023, the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the Plan is
50

146,209,197 Class A shares. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there were 37,230,979 and 31,156,746 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, available for future grants under the Plan.

Stock Options

For stock options granted before our IPO in January 2021, the minimum expiration period is seven years after termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant. For stock options granted after our IPO, the minimum expiration period is three months after termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options generally vest over a period of four years or with 25% vesting on the 12 month anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remainder vesting on a pro-rata basis each month over the next three years.

The following table summarizes our stock option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2023:

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $10.92. As of March 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $50.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

When an employee exercises stock options, we collect and remit taxes on the employee’s behalf to applicable taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the balance of equity exercise taxes payable was $3.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which is included in accounts payable on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Value Creation Award

In November 2020, in connection with an overall review of the compensation of Max Levchin, our Chief Executive Officer, in advance of the IPO, and taking into account Mr. Levchin’s leadership since the inception of the Company, the comparatively modest level of cash compensation he had received from the Company during his many years of service, and that he did not hold any unvested equity awards, the Companys Board of Directors approved a long-term, multi-year performance-based stock option grant providing Mr. Levchin with the opportunity to earn the right to purchase up to 12,500,000 shares of the Companys Class A common stock (the “Value Creation Award”). We recognize stock-based compensation on these awards based on the grant date fair value using an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, and only if performance-based conditions are considered probable of being satisfied. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred stock-based compensation expense of $20.3 million and $75.2 million, respectively, associated with the Value Creation Award as a component of general and administrative expense within the interim condensed consolidated statements

of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred stock-based compensation expense of $29.0 million and $113.5 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to the Value Creation Award was approximately $132.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

RSUs granted prior to the IPO were subject to two vesting conditions: a service-based vesting condition (i.e., employment over a period of time) and a performance-based vesting condition (i.e., a liquidity event in the form of either a change of control or an initial public offering, each as defined in the Plan), both of which must be met in order to vest. The performance-based condition was met upon the IPO. We record stock-based compensation expense for those RSUs on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. RSUs granted after IPO are subject to a service-based vesting condition. We record stock-based compensation expense for service-based RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally one to four years.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2023:

As of March 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was approximately $574.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On November 18, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted and approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The purpose of the ESPP is to secure the services of new employees, to retain the services of existing employees and to provide incentives for such individuals to exert maximum effort towards the success of the Company and that of its affiliates. A total of 11.3 million shares of Class A common stock are reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP and 649,580 shares have been issued as of March 31, 2023. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning December 1 and June 1 of each year, with the initial six-month offering period beginning December 1, 2021. At the end of each offering period, shares of our Class A common stock are purchased on behalf of each ESPP participant at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Class A common stock on first day of the offering period (the grant date) or (2) the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the last day of the offering period (the purchase date). We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to measure the fair value of the purchase rights issued under the ESPP at the first day of the offering period, which represents the grant date. We record stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over each six-month offering period, the requisite service period of the award.

Total stock-based compensation expense$125,902 $113,005 $411,132 $319,804 

In connection with the acquisition of Returnly on May 1, 2021, we issued 304,364 shares of our Class A common stock, which are held in escrow. Because the future payment of the escrowed shares is contingent on continued employment of certain employees, the arrangement represents stock-based compensation in the post combination period. The grant-date fair value was estimated based on the value of the shares at the date of closing. The escrowed shares have a requisite service period of two years and contain a performance-based vesting condition (i.e., the achievement of certain revenue targets). We record stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each tranche over the requisite service period, as long as the performance-based conditions are considered probable of being satisfied. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the arrangement was modified, resulting in the release of 45,459 shares from escrow and the remittance of 243,384 shares back to the Company. The modification resulted in the recognition of $2.0 million of incremental compensation cost within general and administrative expenses in our interim condensed statement of operations. As of March 31, 2023, 15,521 shares remain in escrow.

17.   Restructuring charges, net

On February 8, 2023, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “Plan”) designed to manage our operating expenses in response to current macroeconomic conditions and ongoing business prioritization efforts. As part of the plan, we reduced our workforce by approximately 500 employees, representing approximately 19% of our employees and incurred lease exit
costs related to vacating a portion of our San Francisco office. Restructuring charges, net consists of employee severance pay and related costs and accelerations of amortization expense for the lease asset associated with the exit of certain of our office space.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring charges, net was comprised of the following (in thousands):

18.   Income Taxes

The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the quarter. The Company’s quarterly provision and the estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in the pre-tax jurisdictional mix of earnings and the impact of discrete items.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded income tax expense (benefit) of $(0.8) million and $(2.6) million, respectively, which was primarily attributable to the effects of foreign income taxes on our Canadian subsidiary and partially offset by various U.S state and other foreign income taxes, as well as the tax amortization of certain intangibles. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded income tax expense (benefit) of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which was primarily attributable to various U.S. state and foreign income taxes and the tax amortization of certain intangibles.

As of March 31, 2023, we continue to recognize a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets. This determination was based on the assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred by the Company for the prior three fiscal years. The presence of a three-year cumulative loss limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our expectations of future taxable income and projections for growth.

As a result of the integration and consolidation of our PayBright business into and with Affirm’s Canadian business and the expansion of our overall business in Canada, as well as other objectively verifiable positive evidence, all of which we have concluded is sufficient to outweigh the existing negative evidence – including the presence of a three-year cumulative loss attributable to the related foreign jurisdiction, we have determined that it is more likely than not that our Canadian deferred tax assets will be realized and a valuation allowance is not required.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was enacted into U.S. federal law. The Company does not currently expect that the Inflation Reduction Act will have a material impact on its income taxes.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to our planned investments to drive future growth, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. For the periods presented, references to originating bank partners are to Cross River Bank and Celtic Bank.
Overview

We are building the next generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce. We believe that by using modern technology, the very best engineering talent, and a mission-driven approach, we can reinvent payments and commerce. Our solutions, which are built on trust and transparency, make it easier for consumers to spend responsibly and with confidence, easier for merchants to convert sales and grow, and easier for commerce to thrive.
Our point-of-sale solutions allow consumers to pay for purchases in fixed amounts without deferred interest, late fees, or penalties. We empower consumers to pay over time rather than paying for a purchase entirely upfront. This increases consumers’ purchasing power and gives them more control and flexibility. Our platform facilitates both true 0% APR payment options and interest-bearing loans. On the merchant side, we offer commerce enablement, demand generation, and customer acquisition tools. Our solutions empower merchants to more efficiently promote and sell their products, optimize their customer acquisition strategies, and drive incremental sales. We also provide valuable product-level data and insights — information that merchants cannot easily get elsewhere — to better inform their strategies. Finally, our consumer app unlocks the full suite of Affirm products for a delightful end-to-end consumer experience. Consumers can use our app to manage payments, open a high-yield savings account, and access a personalized marketplace.
Our company is predicated on the principles of simplicity, transparency, and putting people first. By adhering to these principles, we have built enduring, trust-based relationships with consumers and merchants that we believe will set us up for long-term, sustainable success. We believe our innovative approach uniquely positions us to define the future of commerce and payments.
Technology and data are at the core of everything we do. Our expertise in sourcing, aggregating, and analyzing data has been what we believe to be the key competitive advantage of our platform since our founding. We believe our proprietary technology platform and data give us a unique advantage in pricing risk. We use data to inform our risk scoring in order to generate value for our consumers, merchants, and capital partners. We collect and store petabytes of information that we carefully structure and use to regularly recalibrate and revalidate our models, thereby getting to risk scoring and pricing faster, more efficiently, and with a higher degree of confidence. We also prioritize building our own technology and investing in product and engineering talent as we believe these are enduring competitive advantages that are difficult to replicate. Our solutions use the latest in machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud-based technologies, and other modern tools to create differentiated and scalable products.

Our Financial Model

Our Revenue Model
From merchants, we earn a fee when we help them convert a sale and facilitate a transaction. We have two loan product offerings: Pay-in-4 and Core loans. Pay-in-4 is a short-term payment plan with four biweekly 0% APR installments, while Core loans include all interest bearing installment loans and 0% APR monthly installment loans. While merchant fees depend on the individual arrangement between us and each merchant and vary based on the terms of the product offering, we generally earn larger merchant fees on 0% APR financing products. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, Pay-in-4 represented 16% and 19% of total GMV facilitated through our platform, respectively, while 0% APR Core loans represented 15% and 14%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, Pay-in-4 represented 18% and 17% of total GMV facilitated through our platform, respectively, while 0% APR Core loans represented 24% and 26%, respectively.
From consumers, we earn interest income on the simple interest loans that we originate or purchase from our originating bank partners. Interest rates charged to our consumers vary depending on the transaction risk, creditworthiness of the consumer, the repayment term selected by the consumer, the amount of the loan, and the individual arrangement with a merchant. Because our consumers are never charged deferred or compounding interest, late fees, or penalties on the loans, we are not incentivized to profit from our consumers’ hardships. In addition, interest income includes the amortization of any discounts or premiums on loan receivables created upon either the purchase of a loan from one of our originating bank partners or the origination of a loan.
In order to accelerate our ubiquity, we facilitate the issuance of virtual cards directly to consumers through our app, allowing them to shop with merchants that may not yet be fully integrated with Affirm. When these virtual cards are used over established card networks, we earn a portion of the interchange fee from the transaction.
Our Loan Origination and Servicing Model
When a consumer applies for a loan through our platform, the loan is underwritten using our proprietary risk model. Once approved for the loan, the consumer then selects their preferred repayment option. A portion of these loans are funded and issued by our originating bank partners: Cross River Bank, an FDIC-insured New Jersey state-chartered bank, and Celtic Bank, an FDIC-insured Utah state-chartered industrial bank. These partnerships allow us to benefit from our partners’ ability to originate loans under their banking licenses while complying with various federal, state, and other laws. Under this arrangement, we must comply with our originating bank partners' credit policies and underwriting procedures, and our originating bank partners maintain ultimate authority to decide whether to originate a loan or not. When an originating bank partner originates a loan, it funds the loan through its own funding sources and may subsequently offer and sell the loan to us. Pursuant to our agreements with these partners, we are obligated to purchase the loans facilitated through our platform that such partner offers us and our
57

Table of Contents
obligation is secured by cash deposits. To date, we have purchased all of the loans facilitated through our platform and originated by our originating bank partners. When we purchase a loan from an originating bank partner, the purchase price is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loan, plus a fee and any accrued interest. The originating bank partner also retains an interest in the loans purchased by us through a loan performance fee that is payable by us on the principal amount of a loan that is paid by a consumer. See Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities for more information on the performance fee liability.
We are also able to originate loans directly under our lending, servicing, and brokering licenses in Canada and across various states in the U.S. through our consolidated subsidiaries. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we originated approximately $187.9 million, or 4%, and $618.3 million, or 4%, respectively, of loans in Canada compared to approximately $216.0 million, or 6%, and $645.7 million, or 6%, of loans for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we directly originated $690.8 million, or 15%, and $2,203.1 million, or 15%, respectively, of loans in the U.S. pursuant to our state licenses, compared to approximately $659.7 million, or 17%, and $1,774.4 million, or 16%, of loans for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
We act as the servicer on all loans that we originate directly or purchase from our originating bank partners and earn a servicing fee on loans we sell to our funding sources. In the normal course of business, we do not sell the servicing rights on any of the loans. To allow for flexible staffing to support overflow and seasonal traffic, we partner with several sub-servicers to manage customer care, first priority collections, and third-party collections in accordance with our policies and procedures.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our performance has been and may continue to be affected by many factors, including those identified below, as well as the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q, our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, and in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
Expanding our Network, Diversity, and Mix of Funding Relationships
Our capital efficient funding model is integral to the success of our platform. As we scale the number of transactions on our network and grow GMV, we maintain a variety of funding relationships in order to support our network. Our diversified funding relationships include warehouse facilities, securitization trusts, forward flow arrangements, and partnerships with banks. Given the short duration and strong performance of our assets, funding can be recycled quickly, resulting in a high-velocity, capital efficient funding model. While we have continued to improve our equity capital efficiency, the percentage of our equity capital required as a percent of the last twelve months’ GMV increased from approximately 1% as of June 30, 2022, to approximately 2% as of March 31, 2023. The increase is due to an increase in on-balance sheet loans, and a lower percentage of our on balance sheet loans funded through securitizations, which generally require a lower percentage of equity capital compared to our warehouse credit facilities. We have elected this shift in our funding mix in response to the current market environment given our ability to allocate loans to warehouse facilities with better economic terms at a given time to support the growth of our business while optimizing cost of funds. The mix of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet funding is a function of how we choose to allocate loan volume, which is determined by the economic arrangements and supply of capital available to us, both of which may also impact our results in any given period.
Mix of Business on Our Platform
The shifts in volume among merchants and the mix of products that our merchants offer and our consumers purchase in any period affects our operating results. These mix impacts affect GMV, revenue, our financial results, and our key operating metric performance for that period. Differences in product mix relate to different loan durations, APR mix, and varying proportion of 0% APR versus interest-bearing financings.
58

Table of Contents
Product and economic terms of commercial agreements vary among our merchants. For example, our low average order value (“AOV”) products generally benefit from shorter duration, but also have lower revenue as a percentage of GMV when compared to high AOV products. Merchant mix shifts are driven in part by the products offered by the merchant, the economic terms negotiated with the merchant, merchant-side activity relating to the marketing of their products, whether the merchant is fully integrated within our network, and general economic conditions affecting consumer demand. Our revenue as a percentage of GMV in any given period varies across products. As such, as we continue to expand our network to include more merchants, revenue as a percentage of GMV will vary. In addition, our commercial agreement with Shopify to offer Shop Pay Installments powered by Affirm and our Pay-in-4 offering will continue to impact the mix of our shorter duration, low AOV products. Differences in the mix of high versus low AOV will also impact our results. For example, we expect that transactions per active consumer may increase while revenue as a percentage of GMV may decline in the medium term to the extent that a greater portion of our GMV comes from Pay-in-4 and other low-AOV offerings.
Seasonality
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, our revenue has been the strongest during the second quarter of our fiscal year due to increases in retail commerce during the holiday season. Adverse events that occur during these months could have a disproportionate effect on our financial results for the fiscal year.
Macroeconomic Environment
We regularly monitor the direct and indirect impacts of the current macroeconomic conditions on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. During fiscal 2023, the macroeconomic environment has presented a number of challenges to our business. In response to continued inflationary pressure, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised, and may continue to raise, the federal funds interest rate. Simultaneously, economic uncertainty and the prospect of economic recession has impacted consumer spending. These developments have affected, and may continue to affect, our business and results of operations in the following ways:

Deceleration in consumer demand: We have experienced a deceleration in consumer demand for discretionary items, which has adversely impacted GMV growth.

Increased borrowing costs: Our costs of borrowing have increased, resulting in higher transaction costs.

Volatile capital markets: In response to volatile capital markets conditions, we have retained more loans on our balance sheet funded through our consolidated securitizations and warehouse lines in recent fiscal quarters. Retaining loans on our balance sheet effectively delays the recognition of revenue associated with those loans.

Managing delinquency rates: We are continuously optimizing our underwriting to manage delinquency rates. While these actions have adversely affected our GMV growth rates during fiscal 2023, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, our 30-day delinquency rates for monthly installment loans were comparable to, and our allowance rates for loan losses improved over, those experienced during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Macroeconomic factors can also cause fluctuations of available capital in our lending marketplace due to shifts in the risk preferences of our lending partners and institutional investors or for other reasons. For example, since the beginning of March 2023, there have been public reports of instability at certain financial institutions. Despite the steps taken to date by U.S. and foreign agencies and institutions, the follow-on effects of this instability are unknown and may lead to disruptions to the businesses and operations of our funding sources.

Restructuring Plan

On February 8, 2023, we committed to a restructuring plan designed to manage our operating expenses in response to macroeconomic conditions and ongoing business prioritization efforts. As part of the plan, we reduced our workforce by approximately 500 employees, representing approximately 19% of our employees at that time, and vacated a portion of our leased San Francisco office. The implementation of the restructuring plan is now substantially complete. For further information, refer to Note 17. Restructuring charges, net to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Pricing Initiatives
We have begun implementing certain pricing initiatives that have the dual purpose of offsetting our increased funding costs while also enabling us to responsibly extend access to credit to a larger number of consumers. These pricing initiatives include the following:

increasing the maximum APR for loans facilitated on our platform from 30% to 36%;

increasing the merchant fees payable by some merchants on 0% APR financing products;

expanding the use of down payments and fine-tuning the requested amounts;

offering merchant-subsidized low APR loans (4-9.99%) as an alternative to monthly 0% APR programs; and
shortening loan lengths and minimum order sizes for monthly 0% APR programs.

Regulatory Developments

We are subject to the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Board (the “CFPB”) as a facilitator, servicer, acquirer or originator of consumer credit. In December 2021, the CFPB issued a Request for Information to five of the largest BNPL providers, including us, requesting information by March 1, 2022. We timely complied with that request but expect to receive additional CFPB requests for information from time to time in the future.

In September 2022, the CFPB published a report on the “buy now, pay later” (“BNPL”) industry. At the time that report was published, the CFPB indicated that it may seek to subject BNPL companies to supervisory examinations. In March 2023, certain members of the U.S. Senate wrote to the director of the CFPB encouraging the CFPB to “move quickly towards bringing the largest [BNPL] lenders under Federal Supervision….” In addition, based on our own communications with the CFPB, we expect the CFPB to begin to supervise companies in the BNPL industry, including, in the foreseeable future, us.
Key Operating Metrics

We focus on several key operating metrics to measure the performance of our business and help determine strategic direction. In addition to revenue, net loss, and other results under U.S. GAAP, the following tables set forth key operating metrics we use to evaluate our business.

Table of Contents
GMV
We measure GMV to assess the volume of transactions that take place on our platform. We define GMV as the total dollar amount of all transactions on our platform during the period, net of refunds. GMV does not represent revenue earned by us, however, it is an indicator of the success of our merchants and the strength of our platform.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, GMV was $4.6 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively, which represents an increase of approximately 18% and 32%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2022. Overall, the increase in GMV in both periods was primarily driven by the expansion of our active merchant base and increases in active consumers and average transactions per consumer. The increase in GMV for the three months ended March 31, 2023 also reflects increased consumer demand at our largest merchant partner by GMV, Amazon, and increased consumer demand in our travel and ticketing category. The increase in GMV for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was positively impacted by Affirm being an available payment option to Amazon consumers throughout fiscal 2023, while Affirm was a payment option to Amazon consumers only during a portion of fiscal 2022.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, our top five merchants and platform partners represented approximately 40% and 42%, respectively, of total GMV, as compared to 34% and 33%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. GMV attributable to Amazon increased during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2022 but represented less than 20% of total GMV for all such periods.

Active Consumers
We assess consumer adoption and engagement by the number of active consumers across our platform. Active consumers are the primary measure of the size of our network. We define an active consumer as a consumer who engages in at least one transaction on our platform during the 12 months prior to the measurement date.
As of March 31, 2023, we had 16.0 million active consumers, representing an increase of approximately 26% compared to 12.7 million as of March 31, 2022 reflecting the continued growth of our network.
Transactions per Active Consumer
We believe the value of our network is amplified with greater consumer engagement and repeat usage, highlighted by increased transactions per active consumer. Transactions per active consumer is defined as the average number of transactions that an active consumer has conducted on our platform during the 12 months prior to the measurement date.
As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately 3.6 transactions per active consumer, an increase of approximately 34% compared to March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of platform growth and higher frequency repeat users driven by consumer engagement.

the life of the loan into interest income. When a loan is sold to a third-party loan buyer or off-balance sheet securitization trust, the unamortized discount is released in full at the time of sale and recognized as part of the gain or loss on sales of loans. However, the cumulative value of the loss on loan purchase commitment or loss on origination, the interest income recognized over time from the amortization of discount while retained, and the release of discount into gain on sales of loans, together net to zero over the life of the loan.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Merchant network revenue
Merchant network revenue is impacted by both GMV and the mix of loans originated on our platform as merchant fees vary based on loan characteristics. In particular, merchant network revenue as a percentage of GMV typically increases with longer-term, non interest-bearing loans with higher AOVs, and decreases with shorter-term, interest-bearing loans with lower AOVs.
Merchant network revenue decreased by $2.0 million, or 2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease of $274.2 million in long-term non-interest bearing loans, our highest merchant fee category, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $742.8 million in short term interest bearing loans, which typically have lower merchant fees, in line with the decline in merchant network revenue as a percentage of GMV discussed below.
63

Table of Contents
Merchant network revenue increased by $25.8 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $3.6 billion in GMV for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in GMV is a result of the expansion of our active merchant base from 207,049 as of March 31, 2022 to 245,652 as of March 31, 2023, an increase in active consumers from 12.7 million as of March 31, 2022 to 16.0 million as of March 31, 2023, and an increase in average transactions per consumer from 2.7 as of March 31, 2022 to 3.6 as of March 31, 2023. Despite the increase in merchant network revenue, merchant network revenue as a percentage of GMV contracted and AOVs decreased during the period. Merchant network revenue as a percentage of GMV was 2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, down from 3% for the same period in fiscal 2022. AOV was $319 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, down from $377 for the same period in fiscal 2022. These decreases are the result of a higher frequency of consumers choosing Affirm as their payment option with merchants that offer shorter-term, interest-bearing loans with lower AOVs, resulting in lower merchant fees.
Virtual card network revenue
Virtual card network revenue increased by $6.3 million, or 27%, and $16.2 million, or 23%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. Virtual card network revenue growth is correlated with the growth of GMV processed by our issuer processors. As such, the increase is primarily driven by $1.4 billion and $4.2 billion of GMV processed through our issuer processors, an increase of 22% and 27% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2022. This is the result of increased activity on our virtual card-enabled mobile application, as well as growth in existing and new merchants using our virtual card platform, growing from 1,053 merchants as of March 31, 2022 to 1,226 merchants as of March 31, 2023. Virtual card network revenue is also impacted by the mix of merchants as different merchants can have different interchange rates depending on their industry or size, among other factors.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $43.7 million, or 32%, and $80.1 million, or 21%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. Generally, interest income is correlated with the changes in the average balance of loans held for investment. The average balance of loans held for investment increased by 51% to $3.7 billion and 39% to $3.2 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase in loans held for investment on our interim consolidated balance sheet is in response to the current market environment and our ability to allocate loans to warehouse facilities with better economic terms while optimizing cost of funds. Coupled with the increase in loans held for investment on our interim consolidated balance sheet, interest income from interest bearing loans increased from $95.3 million and $266.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 to $147.8 million and $379.8 million for three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. This increase was in part due to recent pricing initiatives including increasing the maximum APR for loans facilitated on our platform from 30% to 36% and introducing merchant-subsidized low APR loans (4-9.99%) as an alternative to monthly 0% APR programs.
Gain on sales of loans
Gain on sales of loans decreased by $19.7 million, or 37%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a decrease in loan sale volume as we retain more loans on balance sheet in response to the current market environment. We sold loans with an unpaid balance of $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.0 billion for the same period in 2022.
Gain on sales of loans increased by $14.9 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, mainly driven by increased loan sale activity. We sold loans with an unpaid balance of $5.8 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $5.6 billion for the same period in 2022. This increase was driven by higher loan sale volume to third-party loan buyers and optimizing the allocation of loans to loan buyers with more favorable pricing terms.

Servicing income
Servicing income includes net servicing fee revenue and fair value adjustments for servicing assets and liabilities, and is recognized for loan portfolios sold to third party loan buyers and for loans held within our off balance sheet securitizations. Servicing fee revenue varies by contractual servicing fee arrangement and is earned as a percentage of the average unpaid principal balance of loans held by each counterparty where we have a servicing agreement. We reduce servicing income for certain fees we are required to pay per our contractual servicing arrangement.
With respect to fair value adjustments, we remeasure the fair value of servicing assets and liabilities each period and recognize the change in fair value in servicing income. We utilize a discounted cash flow approach to remeasure the fair value of servicing rights. Because we earn servicing income based on the outstanding principal balance of the portfolio, fair value adjustments are impacted by the timing and amount of loan repayments. As such, over the term of each loan portfolio sold, fair value adjustments for servicing assets will decrease servicing income and fair value adjustments for servicing liabilities will increase servicing income. We discuss our valuation methodology and significant level 3 inputs for servicing assets and liabilities within Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities.
Servicing income decreased by $2.0 million, or 9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by changes in fair value of servicing assets and liabilities. The decrease related to changes in fair value of servicing assets and liabilities was partially offset by an increase in servicing fee revenue driven by an increase in the average unpaid principal balance of loans owned by third-party loan owners, which increased from $4.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $4.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Servicing income increased by $20.0 million, or 45%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, driven primarily by an increase in servicing fee revenue driven by an increase in the average unpaid principal balance of loans owned by third-party loan owners, which increased from $3.0 billion during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 to $4.1 billion during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, combined with increased servicing fees. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $0.6 million related to the changes in fair value of servicing assets and liabilities contributed to the overall increase in servicing income, compared to the same period in 2022.
Loss on Loan Purchase Commitment
We purchase certain loans from our originating bank partners that are processed through our platform and our originating bank partners put back to us. Under the terms of the agreements with our originating bank partners, we are generally required to pay the principal amount plus accrued interest for such loans. In certain instances, our originating bank partners may originate loans with zero or below market interest rates that we are required to purchase. In these instances, we may be required to purchase the loan for a price in excess of the fair market value of such loans, which results in a loss. These losses are recognized as loss on loan purchase commitment in our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These costs are incurred on a per loan basis.
Loss on loan purchase commitment decreased by $15.6 million, or 33%, and $58.5 million, or 36%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was due to a decrease in the volume and concentration of long-term 0% APR loans purchased from our originating bank partners which are purchased above fair market value. The difference between fair value and purchase price for our loans is generally correlated with the term length and APR of the loans. As such, the reduction in the long term 0% loans purchased from our bank partner contributed to the decline in loss on loan purchase commitment. Additionally, as the percentage of our portfolio shifts towards more interest bearing loans, loss on loan purchase commitment decreases. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we purchased $306.5 million and $1,056.9 million, respectively, of long-term 0% APR loan receivables from our originating bank partners, representing a decrease of $224.6 million, or 42%, and $559.6 million, or 35%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022.

Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses generally represents the amount of expense required to maintain the allowance for credit losses on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheet, which represents management’s estimate of future losses. In the event that our loans outperform expectation and/or we reduce our expectation of credit losses in future periods, we may release reserves and thereby reduce the allowance for credit losses, yielding income in the provision for credit losses. The provision is determined by the change in estimates for future losses and the net charge-offs incurred in the period. We record provision expense for each loan we retain as loans held for investment, whether we originate the loan or purchase it from one of our originating bank partners.
Provision for credit losses increased by $0.1 million, or less than 1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, driven by growth in the volume of loans held for investment. Loans held for investment increased by $120.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a $78.0 million increase during the same period in 2022. The increase was almost entirely offset by improvements in credit quality of loans outstanding and updates to the assumptions used in our credit loss valuation model, including a refinement to the application of our stress loss multiple.
Provision for credit losses increased by $54.8 million, or 30%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, driven by growth in the volume of loans held for investment and partially offset by improvements in credit quality of loans outstanding. Loans held for investment increased by $1,272.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a $481.2 million increase during the same period in 2022.
Total loans held for investment was $3,775.5 million and $2,502.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment decreased from 6.4% as of March 31, 2022 to 4.7% as of March 31, 2023, primarily driven by improvements in credit quality of loans outstanding and updates to the assumptions used in our credit loss valuation model.

Funding Costs

Funding costs consist of interest expense and the amortization of fees for certain borrowings collateralized by our loans including on balance sheet VIEs, sale and repurchase agreements collateralized by our retained securitization interests, and other costs incurred in connection with funding the purchases and originations of loans. Funding costs for a given period are correlated with the sum of the average balance of funding debt and the average balance of notes issued by securitization trusts.
Funding costs increased by $35.4 million, or 223%, and $69.7 million, or 139%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher benchmark interest rates, increased utilization fees and an increase of funding debt during the current fiscal year. Additionally, the increase is attributable to a larger volume of on-balance sheet loans being retained during the period. The average balance of notes issued by securitization trusts during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.6 billion, respectively, compared with $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion during the same periods in 2022, respectively. The average balance of funding debt for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared with $773.6 million and $688.9 million during the same periods in 2022, respectively. Additionally, the average loan balance on-balance sheet was $3.7 billion and $3.2 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion during the same period in 2022, respectively. Average total funding debt from warehouses and securitizations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $963.9 million, or 42%, and $724.2 million, or 34%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022.

Other income, net consists primarily of interest earned on our money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, interest earned on securities available for sale, gains on derivative agreements driven by increases in fair value, amortization of convertible debt issuance cost and revolving credit facility issuance costs, and fair value adjustments resulting from changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability, primarily driven by changes in the market price of our Class A common stock.
Other income (expense), net decreased by $68.6 million, or 40%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily driven by a $2.1 million loss related to a decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability, as compared to a gain of $136.2 million in the same period in 2022, a change of $138.4 million, primarily due to changes in the fair value of our common stock. Additionally, we had a $3.7 million loss on derivative instruments compared to a $35.1 million gain during the same period in 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in interest income on investments of $21.0 million and a gain of $89.8 million on the extinguishment of convertible debt.
Other income (expense), net increased by $106.6 million, or 156%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily driven by a gain of $89.8 million on the extinguishment of convertible debt during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and an increase in interest

income on investments of $48.3 million compared to the same period 2022. This increase is partially offset by a $7.2 million gain related to the fair value of our contingent consideration liability as compared to a loss of $28.7 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $21.5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Funds
We maintain a capital-efficient model through a diverse set of funding sources. When we originate a loan directly or purchase a loan originated by our originating bank partners, we often utilize warehouse facilities with certain lenders to finance our lending activities or loan purchases. We sell the loans we originate or purchase from our originating bank partners to whole loan buyers and securitization investors through forward flow arrangements and securitization transactions, and earn servicing fees from continuing to act as the servicer on the loans. We proactively manage the allocation of loans on our platform across various funding channels based on several factors including, but not limited to, internal risk limits and policies, capital market conditions and channel economics. With rising interest rates and inflation, our excess funding capacity and committed and long-term relationships with a diverse group of existing funding partners help provide flexibility as we optimize our funding to support the growth in loan volume.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, available capacity from warehouse and revolving credit facilities, revolving securitizations, forward flow loan sale arrangements, and certain cash flows from our operations. As of March 31, 2023, we had $2.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities, $2.5 billion in funding capacity remaining across our warehouse funding channels and $205.0 million in borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility.

Warehouse Credit Facilities
Our warehouse credit facilities, which allow us to borrow up to an aggregate of $4.0 billion, mature between 2023 and 2029 and subject to covenant compliance, generally permit borrowings up to 12 months prior to the final maturity date. As of March 31, 2023, we have drawn an aggregate of $1.5 billion on our warehouse facilities. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the agreements. Refer to Note 10. Debt in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further details on our warehouse credit facilities.
Convertible Senior Notes
In November 2021, we closed on the issuance of $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of a convertible senior note which does not bear regular interest, and will mature on November 15, 2026 unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms. During the period ended March 31, 2023, we entered into a series of privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our 2026 Notes, pursuant to which we paid an aggregate amount of $206.6 million in cash for the repurchase of $299.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. Refer to Note 10. Debt in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on our convertible debt note.
Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement for a $165.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, maturing on February 4, 2025, which was subsequently amended to increase the unsecured revolving commitments to $205.0 million. The facility contains certain covenants and restrictions, including certain financial maintenance covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the agreements. To date, there are no borrowings outstanding under the facility. Refer to Note 10. Debt in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on our revolving credit facility.
Securitizations
In connection with asset-backed securitizations, we sponsor and establish trusts (deemed to be VIEs) to ultimately purchase loans facilitated by our platform. Securities issued from our asset-backed securitizations are senior or subordinated, based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated residual interests issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria. We consolidate securitization VIEs when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and therefore have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIEs’ economic performance and a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Where we consolidate the securitization trusts, the loans held in the securitization trusts are included in loans held for investment, and the notes sold to third-party investors are recorded in notes issued by securitization trusts in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 11. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities.

Factors Impacting Liquidity
We believe our current levels of cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities and other liquidity actions currently available to us are sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs in the long-term. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
The principal factors that could impact our liquidity and capital needs are customer delinquencies and defaults, a prolonged inability to adequately access capital market funding, declines in loan purchases and therefore revenue, fluctuations in our financial performance and instability of certain financial institutions. If our available cash balances are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we will seek additional equity or debt financing. In a rising interest rate environment, our ability to issue additional equity or incur debt may be impaired and our borrowing costs may increase. Additionally, we may be subject to restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing these transactions that may place limitations on us, and we may be required to pledge additional collateral as security. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate the necessary cash flows, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our largest sources of operating cash are fees charged to merchant partners on transactions processed through our platform and interest income from consumers’ loans. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for general and administrative, technology and data analytics, funding costs, processing and servicing, and sales and marketing expenses.
71

Table of Contents
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities of $31.6 million stemmed from a net loss of $779.4 million, partially offset by a positive adjustment for non-cash items of $702.5 million, favorable change in our operating assets net of operating liabilities of $45.3 million, including net proceeds from sale and purchase of loans of $118.5 million. The change in operating assets net of operating liabilities was primarily a result of our purchase and sale of loans held for sale activities. We purchased loans of $4.7 billion, which was offset by proceeds from loan sales of $4.8 billion. The positive adjustment for non-cash items was primarily driven by commercial agreement assets of $330.7 million which increased compared to the third quarter of the prior year as a result of amortization on our commercial agreements with Amazon, provision for credit losses of $237.4 million which increased by $54.8 million compared to the third quarter of the prior year, and stock-based compensation of $348.4 million which increased by $68.3 million compared to the third quarter of the prior year resulting from year over year increased headcount.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $103.1 million. This reflects a net loss of $521.0 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $426.9 million, and net cash outflows of $9.0 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities of $875.9 million was primarily attributable to purchases and origination of loans held for investment of $9.6 billion, partially offset by repayments of loans and proceeds from sale of loans of $8.3 billion. During the period we originated loans of $2.7 billion and purchased loans of $7.0 billion, representing a combined increase of $2.2 billion compared to the same period in 2022, due partly to continued growth in GMV. Loan repayments and sale of loans of $8.3 billion during the period, represented an increase of $1.1 billion, compared to the same period in 2022, due in part to shifting of the length of loan terms on our balance sheet netted of by higher average balance of loans held for investment compared to the same period in 2022. The additional offset during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 related to the net proceeds from maturities of securities available for sale of $0.6 billion, representing an increase of $1.1 billion compared to the same period in 2022.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities of $985.6 million was primarily attributable to $7.5 billion of purchases and originations of loans, due partly to continued growth in GMV. We recorded cash outflows of approximately $770.0 million related to purchases of available for sale securities in the current period. These cash outflows were partially offset by repayments of loans of $5.9 billion, due to a higher average balance of loans held for investment and generally increasing credit quality of the portfolio. Additionally, we obtained $1.3 billion in cash from selling loans to whole loan buyers and securitization investors.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities of $740.4 million, was primarily attributable to net cash inflows from funding debt of $853.7 million, and the issuance and repayment of notes and certificates issued by securitization trust of $165.4 million, partially offset by net cash outflows related to the repayment of a portion of our convertible senior notes of $206.6 million. Our payments of debt issuance costs were in the normal course of business and reflective of our recurring debt warehouse facility activity, which involves securing new warehouse facilities and extending existing warehouse facilities. Finally, we paid taxes related to RSU vesting of $63.5 million.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities of $2.1 billion, was primarily driven by the issuance of convertible debt which resulted in net cash inflows of $1.7 billion, net of debt issuance costs. Additionally, the issuance of notes by securitization trusts resulted in net cash inflows of $265.8 million, net of in-period principal repayments, and our funding debt resulted in $203.4 million of net cash inflows as draws on our revolving credit facilities exceeded principal repayments on the debt. These cash inflows were partially offset by tax payments related to RSU vesting of $166.9 million.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our commitments and contractual obligations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 from the commitments and contractual obligations disclosed in the section titled “Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations,” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on August 29, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in activities that are not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, generally referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. These activities involve transactions with unconsolidated VIEs, including our sponsored securitization transactions, which we contractually service.

For off-balance sheet loan sales where servicing is the only form of continuing involvement, we would only experience a loss if we were required to repurchase such a loan due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with our loan sale or servicing contracts. For unconsolidated securitization transactions where Affirm is the sponsor and risk retention holder, Affirm could experience a loss of up to 5% of both the senior notes and residual certificates. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate outstanding balance of loans held by third-party investors for off-balance sheet VIEs was $4.2 billion. In the unlikely event principal payments on the loans backing any off-balance sheet securitization are insufficient to pay note holders, including any retained interest, then any amounts the Company contributed to the securitization reserve accounts may be depleted. Refer to Note 11. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities of the accompanying notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results involve judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We regularly evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments, particularly those that include the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and are often about matters that are inherently uncertain. We evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changes in market conditions or factors specific to us. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.
For a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 within Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations within the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates. Foreign currency exchange rates do not pose a material market risk exposure, as most of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars.
Interest Rate Risk
Our securities available for sale at fair value as of March 31, 2023 included $1.1 billion of marketable debt securities with maturities greater than three months. A rise in interest rates would have an adverse impact on the fair market value of our fixed rate securities while floating rate securities would produce less income than expected if interest rates were to decrease. Because our investment policy is to invest in conservative, liquid investments and because our business strategy does not rely on generating material returns from our investment portfolio, we do not expect our market risk exposure on marketable debt securities to be significant.
Continued volatility in interest rates and potentially inflation, which may persist longer than previously expected, may adversely impact our customers’ spending levels and ability and willingness to pay outstanding amounts owed to us. Higher interest rates may lead to higher payment obligations on our future credit products, or to their lenders under mortgage, credit card, and other loans. Therefore, higher interest rates may lead to increased delinquencies, charge-offs, and allowances for loans and interest receivable, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
We rely on a variety of funding sources with varying degrees of interest rate sensitivities. Certain of our funding arrangements bear a variable interest rate. Given the fixed interest rates charged on the loans that we purchase from our originating bank partners or originate ourselves, a rising variable interest rate would reduce our interest margin earned in these funding arrangements. Additionally, certain of our loan sale agreements are repriced on a recurring basis using a mechanism tied to interest rates as well as loan performance. Increases in interest rates could reduce our loan sale economics. We also rely on securitization transactions, with notes typically bearing a fixed coupon. Increases in interest rates may result in higher coupons and therefore lower interest income received on securitizations where we retain the residual interest and a lower gain on sale for securitizations in which we sell the equity interest.
We maintain an interest rate risk management program which measures and manages the potential volatility of earnings that may arise from changes in interest rates. We use interest rate derivatives to mitigate the effects of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt which eliminates some, but not all, of the interest rate risk. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For those contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into funding costs in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. Factoring in the interest rate risk management program, as of March 31, 2023, we estimate that a hypothetical instantaneous 100 basis point upward parallel shock to interest rates would have a less than $30.0 million adverse impact on our annual financial results over the next 12 months.
Credit Risk
We have credit risk primarily related to our consumer loans held for investment. We are exposed to default risk on both loan receivables purchased from our originating bank partners and loan receivables that are directly originated. The ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in economic and market conditions. To manage this risk, we utilize our ITACs models to underwrite, score, and price loans in a manner that we believe is reflective of the credit risk. Other credit levers such as user limits and/or down payment requirements are used to determine the likelihood of a consumer being able to pay.
74

Table of Contents
To monitor portfolio performance, we utilize a wide range of internal and external metrics to review user and loan populations. Each week management reviews performance for each customer segment, typically split by ITACs model score, financial product originated, age of loan, and delinquency status. Internal performance trendlines are measured against external factors such as unemployment, CPI, and consumer sentiment to determine what changes, if any, in risk strategy is warranted.

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we were exposed to credit risk on $3.8 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of loans held on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. Loan receivables are diversified geographically. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, approximately 11% and 12% of loan receivables related to customers residing in the state of California, respectively. No other states or provinces exceeded 10%.

We are also exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the financial institutions holding our cash and the issuers of our cash equivalents and available for sale securities. We maintain our cash deposits and cash equivalents in highly-rated, federally-insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We manage this risk by conducting business with well established financial institutions, diversifying our counterparties and having guidelines regarding credit rating and investment maturities to safeguard liquidity. Although, we are not substantially dependent on a single financing source and have not historically experienced any credit losses related to these financial institutions, since the beginning of March 2023, there have been public reports of instability at certain financial institutions. If multiple financing sources were to be unable to fulfill their funding obligations to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Please refer to Note 8. “Commitments and Contingencies” of the accompanying notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any such other legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, future prospects, and the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties described therein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.

You should carefully read and consider such risks, together with all of the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the disclosures in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes), and in the other documents that we file with the SEC.

Except as may be reflected in the updated risk factors included below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022.

The success of our business depends on our ability to work with our originating bank partners to enable effective underwriting of loans facilitated through our platform and accurately price credit risk. We currently rely on Celtic Bank to originate a majority of the loans facilitated through our platform. If our relationship with Celtic Bank terminates, or if Celtic Bank were to suspend, limit, or cease its operations or loan origination activities for any reason, and we are unable to engage another originating partner on a timely basis or at all, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that one of our core competitive advantages, and a core tenet of our platform, is our ability to work with originating bank partners to use our data-driven risk model to enable the effective underwriting of loans facilitated through our platform and to accurately and effectively price credit risk. Any deterioration in the performance of the loans facilitated through our platform, or unexpected losses on such loans, would materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Loan repayment underperformance would impact our interest-related and gain-on-sale income generated from loans we purchase from our originating bank partners, which are underwritten in accordance with each bank’s credit policy. Additionally, incremental charge-offs may affect future credit decisioning, growth of transaction volume, and the amount of provisions for underperforming loans we will need to take.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we relied on Cross River Bank and Celtic Bank to originate a majority of the loans facilitated through our platform and to comply with various federal, state, and other laws, with the balance of the loans facilitated on our platform being originated directly under our lending, servicing,
77

Table of Contents
and brokering licenses in Canada and across various states in the United States through our consolidated subsidiaries. During the first half of fiscal 2023, we began accelerating the execution of an existing strategy of identifying and engaging new originating bank partners in order to diversify our sources of loan originations. In January 2023, we made the strategic decision to begin reducing the volume of loans originated by Cross River Bank on our platform while at the same time continuing our ongoing work to identify and engage new originating bank partners. Consequently, as of March 31, 2023, Celtic Bank originates substantially all partner bank originated loans facilitated through our platform. As a result, the risks discussed in the paragraphs below relating to our reliance on Celtic Bank have increased and will remain as such unless and until we complete the process of engaging and onboarding one or more new originating bank partners. The process of engaging and onboarding new originating bank partners is inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurances as to when we will be able to complete that process.

Celtic Bank handles a variety of consumer and commercial financing programs. The Celtic Bank loan program agreement has an initial three-year term, which is scheduled to expire in calendar year 2023. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain early termination events, either we or Celtic Bank may terminate the loan program agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party. Our Celtic Bank loan program agreement does not prohibit Celtic Bank from working with our competitors or from offering competing services, and Celtic Bank currently offers loan programs through other competing platforms. Celtic Bank could decide not to work with us for any reason, could make working with us cost-prohibitive, or could decide to enter into an exclusive or more favorable relationship with one or more of our competitors. In addition, Celtic Bank may not perform as expected under our loan program agreement. We could in the future have disagreements or disputes with Celtic Bank, which could negatively impact or threaten our relationship with other originating banks with whom we may seek to partner. For a further discussion of our relationship with Celtic Bank, particularly the regulations applicable to this relationship, see “Business — Regulatory Environment” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K we filed with the SEC on August 29, 2022.

If Celtic Bank were to suspend, limit, or cease its operations or loan origination activities for any reason, or if our relationship with Celtic Bank were to otherwise terminate for any reason (including, but not limited to, its failure to comply with regulatory actions), we may need to implement an additional substantially similar arrangement with another bank, obtain additional state licenses, or curtail our operations. If we need to enter into alternative arrangements with a different bank to replace our existing arrangement, we may not be able to negotiate a comparable alternative arrangement in a timely manner or at all. In addition, transitioning loan originations to a new bank is untested and may result in delays in the issuance of loans or, if our platform becomes inoperable, may result in the inability to facilitate loans through our platform. If we are unable to enter into an alternative arrangement with different banks to fully replace or supplement our relationship with Celtic Bank, we would potentially need to obtain additional state licenses to enable us to originate loans directly, as well as comply with other state and federal laws, which would be costly and time consuming, and there can be no assurances that any such licenses could be obtained in a timely manner or at all.

We rely on a variety of funding sources to support our business model. If our existing funding arrangements are not renewed or replaced or our existing funding sources are unwilling or unable to provide funding to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and future prospects.

Our high-velocity, capital efficient funding model is integral to the success of our commerce platform. To support this model and the growth of our business, we must maintain a variety of funding arrangements, including warehouse facilities, securities repurchase agreements, securitization trusts, and forward flow arrangements with a diverse set of funding sources. If we are unable to maintain access to, or to expand, our network and diversity of funding arrangements, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We cannot guarantee that these funding arrangements will continue to be available on favorable terms or at all, and our funding strategy may change over time and depends on the availability of such funding arrangements.

Disruptions in the credit markets or other factors, such as the current inflationary environment and rising interest rates, could adversely affect the availability, diversity, cost, and terms of our funding arrangements.

Since the beginning of March 2023, there have been public reports of instability at certain financial institutions. Despite the steps taken to date by U.S. and foreign agencies and institutions, the follow-on effects of this instability are unknown and may lead to disruptions to the businesses and operations of our funding sources. Although we are not substantially dependent on a single financing source, if multiple financing sources were to be unable to fulfill their funding obligations to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, our funding sources may reassess their exposure to our industry and either curtail access to uncommitted financing capacity, fail to renew or extend facilities, or impose higher costs to access our funding. Further, our debt financing and loan sale forward flow facilities are generally fixed term in nature, with term lengths ranging between one to three years, during which we have access to committed capital pursuant to such facilities. If our existing funding arrangements are not renewed or replaced or our existing funding sources are unwilling or unable to provide funding to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we would need to secure additional sources of funding or reduce our operations significantly. The availability and diversity of our funding arrangements depends on various factors and are subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control.

The agreements governing our funding arrangements require us to comply with certain covenants. A breach of such covenants or other events of default under our funding agreements could result in the reduction or termination of our access to such funding, could increase our cost of such funding or, in some cases, could give our lenders the right to require repayment of the loans prior to their scheduled maturity. Certain of these covenants are tied to our consumer default rates, which may be significantly affected by factors, such as economic downturns or general economic conditions, that are beyond our control and beyond the control of individual consumers. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains (a) certain covenants and restrictions that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional debt; create liens on certain assets; pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; and enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, and (b) certain financial maintenance covenants that require us and our subsidiaries to not exceed a specified leverage ratio, to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, and to maintain a minimum level of unrestricted cash while any borrowings under the revolving credit facility are outstanding.

In the future, we may seek to further access the capital markets to obtain capital to finance growth. However, our future access to the capital markets could be restricted due to a variety of factors, including a deterioration of our earnings, cash flows, balance sheet quality, or overall business or industry prospects, adverse regulatory changes, a disruption to or volatility or deterioration in the state of the capital markets, or a negative bias toward our industry by market participants. Due to the negative bias toward our industry, certain financial institutions have restricted access to available financing by participants in our industry, and we may have more limited access to institutional capital than other businesses. Future prevailing capital market conditions and potential disruptions in the capital markets may adversely affect our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, make future investments, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities, or respond to competitive challenges and this, in turn, could adversely affect our ability to advance our strategic plans. In addition, if the capital and credit markets experience volatility, and the availability of funds is limited, third-parties with whom we do business may incur increased costs or business disruption and this could adversely affect our business relationships with such third-parties, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and future prospects.
