1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On February 1, 2021, LendingClub Corporation (LendingClub) completed the acquisition (the Acquisition) of Radius Bancorp, Inc. (Radius), whereby LendingClub became a bank holding company and formed LendingClub Bank, National Association (LC Bank) as its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company operates the vast majority of its business through LC Bank, as a lender and originator of loans and as a regulated bank in the United States.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the accompanying financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Results reported in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim period. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Annual Report) filed on February 9, 2023.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report. There have been no changes to these significant accounting policies for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, except for the impact of the new adopted accounting standards noted below.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
The Company adopted the following new accounting standard during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023:
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors that have adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) model and adds a requirement to disclose current period gross charge-offs by year of origination. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023, on a prospective basis. The ASU updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification 326, including removing anticipatory TDRs and requiring the use of the post-modified effective interest rate when a discounted cash flow method is used in the CECL calculation. The ASU updates disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which, if certain criteria are met, provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform. The provisions of this topic are elective and may be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made through December 31, 2024.

The Company adopted this standard as of April 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures.
2. Marketplace Revenue
Marketplace revenue consists of (i) origination fees, (ii) servicing fees, (iii) gain (loss) on sales of loans and (iv) net fair value adjustments, as described below.
Origination Fees: The Company receives fees from borrowers for the origination of unsecured personal loans that are held for sale.
Servicing Fees: The Company receives servicing fees to compensate it for servicing loans on behalf of investors, including managing payments and collections from borrowers and payments to those investors. The amount of servicing fee revenue earned is predominantly affected by the servicing rates paid by investors and the outstanding principal balance of loans serviced for investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the associated change in the fair value of servicing assets.
Gain (Loss) on Sales of Loans: In connection with loan sales, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of loans based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing. Additionally, the Company recognizes transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.
Net Fair Value Adjustments: The Company records fair value adjustments on loans that are recorded at fair value, including gains or losses from sale prices in excess of or less than the loan principal amount sold.
The following table presents components of marketplace revenue for the periods presented:

There was no activity in the allowance for AFS securities during the second quarters and first halves of 2023 and 2022. At June 30, 2023, the majority of the Company’s AFS investment portfolio was comprised of U.S. agency-backed securities and asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions. Management considers U.S. agency-backed securities to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by certain U.S. government agencies. Most of the remaining securities in an unrealized loss position in the Company’s AFS investment portfolio at June 30, 2023, were rated investment grade. Substantially all of these unrealized losses in the AFS investment portfolio were caused by interest rate increases. The Company does not intend to sell the investment portfolio, and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, see “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report.

The Company has programs to modify loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Such modifications primarily include principal forgiveness, term extensions and/or interest rate reductions. Given that unsecured personal loans typically charge-off within a few months following modification, the total amortized cost balances are not significant for the period presented.

Commercial Lending Credit Quality Indicators
The Company evaluates the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio based on regulatory risk ratings. The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk ratings based on relevant information about the quality and realizable value of collateral, if any, and the ability of borrowers to service their debts, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases based on their associated credit risk and performs this analysis whenever credit is extended, renewed or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. Risk rating classifications consist of the following:
Pass – Loans and leases that the Company believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms.
Special Mention – Loans and leases with a potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – Loans and leases that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment and liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Normal payment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although loss of principal, while still possible, is not imminent.
Doubtful – Loans and leases that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – Loans and leases that are considered uncollectible and of little value.

Nonaccrual Assets
Nonaccrual loans and leases are those for which accrual of interest has been suspended. Loans and leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more, or earlier if management believes that the probability of collection does not warrant further accrual, and are charged-off no later than 120 days past due.

Collateral-Dependent Assets
Certain loans on non-accrual status may be considered collateral-dependent loans if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be substantially through sale or operation of the collateral. Expected credit losses for the Company’s collateral-dependent loans are calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell, if applicable.

(1) Consists of servicing assets recognized at the time of sale, less any transaction costs, and excludes origination fees and fair value adjustments recognized prior to the sale. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company resumed its sponsoring of Structured Program transactions in which it retains the senior securities at a contractual interest rate, in addition to the amount required pursuant to the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, and sells the residual certificates. See “Note 4. Securities Available for Sale” for the securities retained in the Company’s investment portfolio related to such transactions.
Holders of the senior securities issued by the unconsolidated VIEs have rights to their contractual cash flows prior to those that hold subordinated interests. There is no direct recourse to the Company’s assets, and holders of the securities can look only to those assets of the VIEs that issued their securities for payment. The beneficial interests are subject principally to the credit and prepayment risk stemming from the underlying unsecured personal loans.
As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate unpaid principal balance held by unconsolidated VIEs was $400.5 million, of which $7.9 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate unpaid principal balance held by unconsolidated VIEs was $433.5 million, of which $14.8 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due. For such loans, the Company would only experience a loss if it was required to repurchase a loan due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with its loan sale or servicing contracts.

Financial instruments are categorized in the valuation hierarchy based on the significance of observable or unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. For the financial instruments listed in the tables above that do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, changes in fair value for assets and liabilities within the Level 2 or Level 3 categories may include changes in fair value that were attributable to observable and unobservable inputs, respectively. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 during the second quarters and first halves of 2023 or 2022.

Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value
As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the majority of loans HFS were sold shortly after origination and at committed prices. Therefore, the Company is generally not exposed to fluctuations in the fair value of these loans as a result of adverse changes in key assumptions.

Retail and Certificate Loans and Related Notes, Certificates and Secured Borrowings
The Company does not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans that were funded by its member payment- dependent self-directed retail program (Retail Program) because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes with the exact same interest rates and maturities. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the DCF methodology used to estimate the retail note, certificate and secured borrowings’ fair values used the same projected net cash flows as their related loans. Therefore, the fair value adjustments for retail loans held for investment were largely offset by the corresponding fair value adjustments due to the payment dependent design of the retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings.
Asset-Backed Securities Related to Structured Program Transactions
Prior year comparative disclosures related to significant unobservable inputs, fair value sensitivities and fair value rollforwards for asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions are not presented below as the comparability between periods would not be meaningful given that the current period consists primarily of a new type of Structured Program transaction that occurred in the second quarter of 2023. See “Note 6. Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities” for more information.

Senior Asset-Backed Securities Related to Structured Program Transactions
As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the senior asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions was $142.8 million with an expected weighted-average life of 1.5 years. Discount rates were the significant unobservable input used to measure the fair value of this Level 3 asset. The minimum, maximum and weighted-average discount rates assumptions were 7.4% as of June 30, 2023. A hypothetical 100 and 200 basis point increase in discount rates would decrease the fair value by $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Input Sensitivity
The Company’s selection of the most representative market servicing rates for servicing assets is inherently judgmental. The Company reviews third-party servicing rates for its loans, loans in similar credit sectors, and market servicing benchmarking analyses provided by third-party valuation firms, when available. The table below shows the impact on the estimated fair value of servicing assets, calculated using different market servicing rate assumptions:

As of June 30, 2023, there was $98.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the next 2.0 years, subject to any forfeitures.
Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
PBRSUs are restricted stock unit awards that are earned based upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics over a pre-established performance period. The Company’s outstanding PBRSU awards each have a market-based performance metric with a three-year performance period, following which any earned portion is immediately vested. For these PBRSU awards, the compensation expense of the award is fixed at the time of grant (incorporating the probability of achieving the market-based metrics) and expensed over the performance period.
The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s PBRSUs:

During the first half of 2023, the Company granted 807,499 PBRSUs with an aggregate fair value of $5.8 million.
As of June 30, 2023, there was $9.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PBRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.8 years, subject to any forfeitures.
15. Income Taxes
For the second quarter and first half of 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.7 million and $8.8 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.7% and 27.1%, respectively. The second quarter effective tax
37
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
rate differs from the statutory rate as it was favorably affected by recurring items such as tax credits and was unfavorably affected by nondeductible portions of executive compensation. Additionally, the effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the discrete tax impact recognized during the period related to stock-based compensation. For the second quarter and first half of 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $132.0 million and $127.0 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was primarily due to the release of a $135.3 million valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets, partially offset by a $3.3 million state income tax expense.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease Commitments
For discussion regarding the Company’s operating lease commitments, see “Note 16. Leases.”
Loan Repurchase Obligations
The Company is generally required to repurchase loans or interests therein in the event of identity theft or certain other types of fraud on the part of the borrower or education and patient service providers. The Company may also repurchase loans or interests therein in connection with certain customer accommodations. In connection with certain loan sales, the Company agreed to repurchase loans if representations and warranties made with respect to such loans were breached under certain circumstances. The Company believes such provisions are customary and consistent with institutional loan and securitization market standards.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the contractual amount of unfunded loan commitments was $108.9 million and $138.0 million, respectively. See “Note 5. Loans and Leases Held for Investment at Amortized Cost, Net of Allowance For Loan and Lease Losses” for additional detail related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.
Legal
The Company is subject to various claims brought in a litigation or regulatory context. These matters include lawsuits, including but not limited to, putative class action lawsuits and routine litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company, and its business practices and compliance with licensing and
40
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
other regulatory requirements, is subject to periodic exams, investigations, inquiries or requests, enforcement actions and other proceedings from federal and state regulatory agencies, including from the federal banking regulators that directly regulate the Company and/or LC Bank. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to or arise from alleged state or federal law and regulatory violations, or are alleged commercial disputes or consumer complaints. The Company accrues for costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss from a claim is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company does not accrue for a potential litigation loss. In those situations, the Company discloses an estimate or range of the reasonably possible losses, if such estimates can be made. Except as otherwise specifically noted below, at this time, the Company does not believe that it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses related to the matters described below.
Regulatory Examinations and Actions Relating to the Company’s Business Practices, Licensing and Compliance with Applicable Laws
The Company is and has been subject to periodic inquiries, exams and enforcement actions brought by federal and state regulatory agencies relating to the Company’s business practices, the required licenses to operate its business, and operating in compliance with applicable laws, including the requirements of its licenses and the regulatory framework applicable to its business.
The Company periodically has discussions with various regulatory agencies regarding its business model and has engaged in similar discussions with the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). During the course of such discussions with the NYDFS, the Company decided to voluntarily comply with certain rules and regulations of the NYDFS while it was not a bank holding company operating a national bank. Post-Acquisition, the Company has returned its New York state license to the NYDFS.
In the past, the Company has successfully resolved such matters in a manner that was not material to its results of financial operations in any period and that did not materially limit the Company’s ability to conduct its business. However, no assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of these matters or other similar matters if or as they arise.
18. Regulatory Requirements
LendingClub and LC Bank are subject to comprehensive supervision, examination and enforcement, and regulation by the FRB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), including generally similar capital adequacy requirements adopted by the FRB and the OCC, respectively. These requirements establish required minimum ratios for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and a Tier 1 leverage ratio; set risk-weighting for assets and certain other items for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios; and define what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company.
The minimum capital requirements under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III) capital framework are: a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% must be maintained above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments. In addition to these guidelines, the regulators assess any particular institution’s
41
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
capital adequacy based on numerous factors and may require a particular banking organization to maintain capital at levels higher than the generally applicable minimums prescribed under the U.S. Basel III capital framework. In this regard, and unless otherwise directed by the FRB and the OCC, we have made commitments for the Company and LC Bank (until February 2024) to maintain a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio above 11.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio above 13.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.0%.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB, OCC, and FDIC adopted a final rule related to the regulatory capital treatment of the allowance for credit losses under CECL. As permitted by the rule, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital resulting in a CET1 capital benefit of $35 million at December 31, 2021. This benefit is phased out over a three-year transition period that commenced on January 1, 2022 at a rate of 25% each year through January 1, 2025.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides for a system of “prompt corrective action” (PCA). The PCA regime provides for capitalization categories ranging from “well-capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” An institution’s PCA category is determined primarily by its regulatory capital ratios. The PCA requires remedial actions and imposes limitations that become increasingly stringent as its PCA capitalization category declines, including the ability to accept and/or rollover brokered deposits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the

Company’s and LC Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds required to be regarded as well-capitalized institutions and met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. There have been no events or conditions since June 30, 2023 that management believes would change the Company’s categorization.
Federal laws and regulations limit the dividends that a national bank may pay. Dividends that may be paid by a national bank without the express approval of the OCC are limited to that bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years plus retained net profits up to the date of any dividend declaration in the current calendar year. Retained net profits, as defined by the OCC, consist of net income less dividends declared during the period. Additionally, under an Operating Agreement with the OCC (Operating Agreement), LC Bank is required to obtain a written determination of non-objection from the OCC before declaring any dividend. No dividends were declared by LC Bank during the first half of 2023 or during 2022. See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision – Broad Powers to Ensure Safety and Soundness” in our Annual Report for further discussion regarding the Operating Agreement.
Federal law restricts the amount and the terms of both credit and non-credit transactions between a bank and its nonbank affiliates. These covered transactions may not exceed 10% of the bank’s capital and surplus (which for this purpose represents tier 1 and tier 2 capital, as calculated under the risk-based capital rules, plus the balance of the ACL excluded from tier 2 capital) with any single nonbank affiliate and 20% of the bank’s capital and surplus with all its nonbank affiliates. Covered transactions that are extensions of credit may require collateral to be pledged to provide added security to the bank.

20. Segment Reporting
The Company defines operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. This information is reviewed according to the legal organizational structure of the Company’s operations with products and services presented separately for the parent bank holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Bank. Income taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return.

All of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. The Company has experienced reductions in marketplace investor demand in connection with increases in interest rates and volatility in the macro economy. Accordingly, during both the second quarter and first half of 2023, one marketplace bank investor accounted for 14% of total net revenue. No other individual borrower or marketplace investor accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue for any of the periods presented.
LendingClub Bank
The LC Bank operating segment represents the national bank legal entity and reflects post-Acquisition operating activities. This segment provides a full complement of financial products and solutions, including loans, leases and deposits. It originates loans to individuals and businesses, retains loans for investment, sells loans to investors and manages relationships with deposit holders.
LendingClub Corporation (Parent Only)
The LendingClub Corporation (Parent only) operating segment represents the holding company legal entity and predominately reflects the operations of the Company prior to the Acquisition. This activity includes, but is not limited to, servicing fee revenue for loans serviced prior to the Acquisition, and interest income and interest expense related to the Retail Program and Structured Program transactions entered into prior to the Acquisition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
Overview
LendingClub is America’s leading digital marketplace bank. The Company was founded in 2006 and brought a traditional credit product – the installment loan – into the digital age by leveraging technology, data science, and a unique marketplace model. In doing so, we became one of the largest providers of unsecured personal loans in the United States. In February 2021, LendingClub completed the acquisition of Radius, becoming a bank holding company and forming LC Bank as its wholly-owned subsidiary. We operate the vast majority of our business through LC Bank, as a lender and originator of loans and as a regulated and award-winning digital bank in the United States.
Executive Summary
The interest rate environment and broader economic volatility is adversely impacting our business, predominantly through investor demand and pricing for marketplace loans. While we expect these headwinds to persist, we’re managing the business prudently, continuing our disciplined credit underwriting, and developing new structures to meet the evolving needs of loan investors. We maintained strong liquidity and capital levels and delivered the following results, despite a challenging economic environment.
•Loan originations: Loan originations for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $277.1 million, or 12%, sequentially and $1.8 billion, or 48%, year over year, primarily driven by a decrease in unsecured personal loan origination volume. We attribute the decrease in volume to the rising interest rate environment.
◦Loan originations held for investment (HFI) at amortized cost for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $344.6 million, or 34%, sequentially and $363.7 million, or 36%, year over year.
◦Loan originations HFI at amortized cost as a percentage of loan originations was 33% and 44% for the second and first quarters of 2023, respectively, and 27% for the second quarter of 2022. The percentage of loan originations HFI in any period is dependent on many factors, including quarterly loan origination volume, risk-adjusted returns, liquidity and general regulatory capital considerations.
•Total net revenue: Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $13.2 million, or 5%, sequentially and $97.6 million, or 30%, year over year.
◦Marketplace revenue: Marketplace revenue for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $12.9 million, or 13%, sequentially and $123.6 million, or 60%, year over year. The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower loan sales prices and a one-time revenue benefit related to slower prepayments recorded in the prior quarter. The year over year decrease was primarily due to lower origination volume and pricing of marketplace loans.
◦Net interest income: Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 remained relatively flat sequentially and increased $30.4 million, or 26%, year over year. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest income due to a higher average balance of loans retained as HFI in the current period, partially offset by higher interest rates on deposits.
◦Net interest margin: Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 7.1%, decreasing from 7.5% in the first quarter of 2023 and from 8.5% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher interest rates on deposits.
•Provision for credit losses: Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $4.0 million, or 6%, both sequentially and year over year. The decrease was primarily due to the lower volume of loans HFI at amortized cost and the related initial provision for credit losses, partially offset by the discounting effect of the net present value (NPV) on prior loan vintages and additional qualitative allowance reflecting a modest increase in expected losses and a less favorable economic outlook.

•Total non-interest expense: Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $6.2 million, or 4%, sequentially and $58.3 million, or 28%, year over year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in headcount as a result of the cost reduction and reorganization plan we implemented in January 2023 as well as a decrease in variable marketing expenses based on lower origination volume and prudent management of expenses.
•Net income: Net income for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $3.6 million, or 26%, sequentially and $172.0 million, or 94%, year over year. Net income for the second quarter of 2022 included a tax benefit of $135.3 million due to the reversal of the majority of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
•Diluted EPS: Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.09, compared to $0.13 for the first quarter of 2023 and $1.73 for the same quarter last year. Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2022 included a $1.28 per share benefit from the deferred tax valuation allowance reversal.
•Pre-provision net revenue: Pre-provision net revenue for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $7.0 million, or 8%, sequentially and $39.3 million, or 33%, year over year, reflecting lower non-interest income, partially offset by lower non-interest expense.
•Cash and cash equivalents: Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 decreased $433.1 million, or 26%, sequentially and increased $161.9 million, or 16%, year over year. The sequential decrease reflects a lower cash position primarily due to the planned maturity of brokered deposits.
•Total assets: Total assets as of June 30, 2023 decreased $411.5 million, or 5%, sequentially, primarily due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulting from lower deposits. Total assets as of June 30, 2023 increased $2.2 billion, or 35%, year over year primarily reflecting growth in loans HFI and an increase in cash and cash equivalents due to the growth in deposits.
•Deposits: Total deposits as of June 30, 2023 decreased $375.3 million, or 5%, sequentially, and increased $2.3 billion, or 51%, year over year. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the planned maturity of brokered deposits. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured deposits represent approximately 85% of total deposits as of June 30, 2023.
•Total equity: Total equity as of June 30, 2023 increased $14.8 million, or 1%, sequentially, and $126.4 million, or 12%, year over year, primarily reflecting net income generated over the period.
The above summary should be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its entirety. For additional discussion related to our operating segments, see “Segment Information.”

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
Sequential: Origination fees were relatively flat for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Loan origination volume of marketplace loans increased to $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 5%.
Year Over Year: Origination fees were $71.0 million and $149.3 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 52%. The decrease was due to lower origination volume of marketplace loans. Loan origination volume of marketplace loans decreased to $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.8 billion for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 52%, resulting from lower investor demand due to the rising interest rate environment.
Six Months Over Six Months: Origination fees were $141.5 million and $271.3 million for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 48%. The decrease was due to lower origination volume of marketplace loans. Loan origination volume of marketplace loans decreased to $2.6 billion for the first half of 2023 compared to $5.2 billion for the first half of 2022, a decrease of 49%, resulting from lower investor demand due to the rising interest rate environment.
Servicing Fees
We receive servicing fees to compensate us for servicing loans on behalf of investors, including managing payments from borrowers, collections and payments to those investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the change in fair value of servicing assets associated with the loans.
The table below illustrates AUM serviced on our platform by the method in which the loans were financed as of the periods presented. Loans sold and subsequently serviced on behalf of the investor represent a key driver of our servicing fee revenue.

In addition to the loans serviced on our marketplace platform, we serviced $146.9 million, $159.1 million and $183.6 million in outstanding principal balance of commercial loans sold as of June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
Sequential: Servicing fees were $22.0 million and $26.4 million for the second and first quarters of 2023, respectively, a decrease of 17%. This was primarily due to slower forecasted prepayments in the first quarter of 2023 resulting in a higher fair value of the servicing asset in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Year Over Year: Servicing fees were $22.0 million and $18.2 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of 21%. This was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of the servicing asset based on higher expected servicing fee revenue, partially offset by a decrease in loan balances serviced for others.

Six Months Over Six Months: Servicing fees were $48.4 million and $36.7 million for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of 32%. This was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of the servicing asset based on higher expected servicing fee revenue, including from slower forecasted prepayments.
Gain on Sales of Loans
In connection with loan sales, we recognize a gain or loss on the sale of loans based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing at the time of sale. Additionally, we recognize transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.
Sequential: Gain on sales of loans was $13.2 million and $14.1 million for the second and first quarters of 2023, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was due to lower average servicing fees on marketplace loans sold in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Year Over Year: Gain on sales of loans was $13.2 million and $29.3 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 55%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of marketplace loans sold.
Six Months Over Six Months: Gain on sales of loans was $27.3 million and $53.4 million for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 49%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of marketplace loans sold.
Net Fair Value Adjustments
We record fair value adjustments on loans that are recorded at fair value, including gains or losses from sale prices in excess of or less than the loan principal amount sold.
Sequential: Net fair value adjustments were $(23.4) million and $(15.4) million for the second and first quarters of 2023, respectively, a decrease of $8.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan sale prices.
Year Over Year: Net fair value adjustments were $(23.4) million and $9.6 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $33.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan sale prices.
Six Months Over Six Months: Net fair value adjustments were $(38.9) million and $24.9 million for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $63.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower loan sale prices.

(1) Nonaccrual loans and any related income are included in their respective loan categories.
(2) The average yield/rate for unsecured personal loans increased sequentially primarily due to higher coupon loans in the portfolio. The average yield/rate for unsecured personal loans decreased year over year primarily due to a shift in the mix toward higher credit quality loans, which generally have lower interest rates. The average yield/rate for interest-bearing deposits increased due to a higher federal funds rate and an increasing concentration of online deposits. We expect pressure on net interest margin to continue during 2023.
An analysis of the sequential and year-over-year changes in the categories of interest revenue and interest expense resulting from changes in volume and rate is as follows:

Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) for lifetime expected losses under CECL on HFI loans and leases at amortized cost is initially recognized as “Provision for credit losses” at the time of origination. The ALLL is estimated using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where effective interest rates are used to calculate the NPV of expected cash flows. The effective interest rates are calculated based on the periodic interest income received from the loan’s contractual cash flows and the net investment in the loan, which includes deferred origination fees and costs, to provide a constant rate of return over the loan term. The NPV from the DCF approach is then compared to the amortized cost basis of the loans and leases to derive expected credit losses. Under the DCF approach, the provision for credit losses in subsequent periods includes a credit loss expense relating to the discounting effect due to the passage of time after the initial recognition of ALLL on originated HFI loans at amortized cost.
The provision for credit losses includes the credit loss expense for HFI loans and leases at amortized cost, available for sale (AFS) securities and unfunded lending commitments. The table below illustrates the composition of the provision for credit losses for each period presented, as well as the loan originations held for investment in each period, which is a key driver for credit loss expense:

Sequential: The provision for credit losses was $66.6 million and $70.6 million for the second and first quarters of 2023, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was primarily due to the lower volume of originated loans retained as HFI at amortized cost and the related initial provision for credit losses, partially offset by the discounting effect of the NPV allowance on prior loan vintages and additional qualitative allowance reflecting a modest increase in expected losses and a less favorable economic outlook.
Year Over Year: The provision for credit losses was $66.6 million and $70.6 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was primarily due to the lower volume of originated loans retained as HFI at amortized cost and the related initial provision for credit losses, partially offset by the discounting effect of the NPV allowance on prior loan vintages and additional qualitative allowance reflecting a modest increase in expected losses and a less favorable economic outlook.
Six Months Over Six Months: The provision for credit losses was $137.2 million and $123.1 million for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of 11%. The increase was primarily due to the discounting effect of the NPV allowance on prior loan vintages and additional qualitative allowance reflecting a modest increase in expected losses and a less favorable economic outlook, partially offset by a lower volume of originated loans retained as HFI at amortized cost.

Six Months Over Six Months: Occupancy expense decreased $3.2 million, or 26%, for the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rent expense.
Income Taxes
For the second quarter and first half of 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $4.7 million and $8.8 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.7% and 27.1%, respectively. The second quarter effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate as it was favorably affected by recurring items such as tax credits and was unfavorably affected by nondeductible portions of executive compensation. Additionally, the effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the discrete tax impact recognized during the period related to stock-based compensation. For the second quarter and first half of 2022, we recorded an income tax benefit of $132.0 million and $127.0 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was primarily due to the release of a $135.3 million valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, partially offset by a $3.3 million state income tax expense.
As of June 30, 2023, we maintained a valuation allowance of $47.6 million related to net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax credit carryforwards. The realization and timing of any remaining state NOLs and tax credit carryforwards, based on the allocation of taxable income to the Parent, is uncertain and may expire before being utilized. Changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as current period income tax expense or benefit.
Income taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return.
Segment Information
The Company defines operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance.

The material drivers and trends of the financial results of the segments presented above for the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 and second quarter and first half of 2022 are consistent with those provided on a consolidated basis in "Results of Operations."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR), Net Income Excluding Income Tax Benefit, Diluted EPS Excluding Income Tax Benefit, and Tangible Book Value (TBV) Per Common Share. Our non-GAAP financial measures do have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies.
We believe PPNR, Net Income Excluding Income Tax Benefit and Diluted EPS Excluding Income Tax Benefit are important measures because they reflect the underlying financial performance of our business operations. PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting the provision for credit losses and income tax benefit/expense from net income. Net Income Excluding Income Tax Benefit adjusts for the release of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2022. Diluted EPS Excluding Income Tax Benefit is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing Net Income Excluding Income Tax Benefit by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
We believe TBV Per Common Share is an important measure used to evaluate the Company’s use of equity. TBV Per Common Share is a non-GAAP financial measure representing the book value of common equity reduced by goodwill and intangible assets, divided by ending number of common shares issued and outstanding.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of PPNR to the nearest GAAP measure:

We are subject to periodic exams, investigations, inquiries or requests, enforcement actions and other proceedings from federal and state regulatory agencies, including the federal banking regulators that directly regulate the Company and/or LC Bank. Further, we are subject to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, and lawsuits alleging regulatory violations. The number and/or significance of these exams, investigations, inquiries, requests, proceedings, claims and lawsuits have been increasing since the Acquisition in part because our products and services increased in scope and in part because we became a bank holding company operating a national bank. Although historically the Company has generally resolved these matters in a manner that was not materially adverse to its financial results or business operations, no assurance can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of any of these matters in the future.
Regulatory Actions Taken in Relation to COVID-19
Regulators and government officials at the federal government level and in states across the country have issued orders, passed laws or otherwise issued guidance in connection with COVID-19. Some of these orders and laws have placed restrictions on debt collection activity, all or certain types of communications with delinquent borrowers or others, required that borrowers be allowed to defer payments on outstanding debt, governed credit reporting and the use of credit reporting, and placed certain restrictions and requirements on operations in the workplace. We have taken steps to monitor regulatory developments relating to COVID-19 and to comply with orders and laws applicable to our business. Although many of the orders, laws or guidance related to COVID-19 have since reverted, it is possible that additional orders, laws, or regulatory guidance may still be issued. We are not able to predict the extent of the impact on our business from any regulatory activity relating to or resulting from COVID-19.
Federal Banking Regulator Supervision
Since the Acquisition, we are subject to supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by multiple federal banking regulatory bodies. Specifically, as a bank holding company, the Company is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the Board of Governors of the Federal
70

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
Reserve System (FRB). Further, as a national bank, LC Bank is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the OCC. Accordingly, we have been and continue to invest in regulatory compliance and be subject to certain parameters, obligations and/or limitations set forth by the banking regulations and regulators with respect to the operation of our business.
Consequences
If we are found to not have complied with applicable laws, regulations or requirements, we could: (i) lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, (ii) become subject to a consent order or administrative enforcement action, (iii) face lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), sanctions, penalties, or other monetary losses due to judgments, orders, or settlements, (iv) be in breach of certain contracts, which may void or cancel such contracts, (v) decide or be compelled to modify or suspend certain of our business practices, (vi) be unable to execute on certain Company initiatives, or (vii) be required to obtain a license in such jurisdiction, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to operate and/or evolve our lending marketplace and other products and/or services; any of which may harm our business or financial results.
See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision,” “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Regulation, Supervision and Compliance,” and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Operating Our Business” in our Annual Report for further discussion regarding our supervision and regulatory environment.
Capital Management
The prudent management of capital is fundamental to the successful achievement of our business initiatives. We actively review capital through a process that continuously assesses and monitors the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations.
The formation of LC Bank as a nationally chartered association and the organization of the Company as a bank holding company subjects us to various capital adequacy guidelines issued by the OCC and the FRB, including the requirement to maintain regulatory capital ratios in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). As a U.S. Basel III standardized approach institution, we selected the one-time election to opt-out of the requirements to include all the components of accumulated other comprehensive income included in common stockholder’s equity. The minimum capital requirements under the U.S. Basel III capital framework are: a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% must be maintained above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments. In addition to these guidelines, the banking regulators may require a banking organization to maintain capital at levels higher than the minimum ratios prescribed under the U.S. Basel III capital framework. In this regard, and unless otherwise directed by the FRB and the OCC, we have made commitments for the Company and LC Bank (until February 2024) to maintain a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio above 11.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio above 13.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.0%. See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision – Regulatory Capital Requirements and Prompt Corrective Action” in our Annual Report and “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18. Regulatory Requirements” in this Report for additional information.

The higher risk-based capital ratios for the Company reflect generally lower risk-weights for assets held by LendingClub Corporation as compared with LC Bank.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB, OCC, and FDIC adopted a final rule related to the regulatory capital treatment of the allowance for credit losses under CECL. As permitted by the rule, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital resulting in a capital benefit of $35 million at December 31, 2021. This benefit is phased out over a three-year transition period that commenced on January 1, 2022 at a rate of 25% each year through January 1, 2025.
Liquidity
We manage liquidity to meet our cash flow and collateral obligations in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. We must maintain operating liquidity to meet our expected daily and forecasted cash flow requirements, as well as contingent liquidity to meet unexpected funding requirements.
As our primary business at LC Bank involves taking deposits and originating loans, a key role of liquidity management is to ensure that customers have timely access to funds from deposits and for loans. Liquidity

management also involves maintaining sufficient liquidity to repay borrowings, pay operating expenses and support extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.

(2) Includes both loans and securities available for sale pledged as collateral.
(3) During the second quarter of 2023, LC Bank’s available borrowing capacity under the FRB Discount Window increased upon including its unsecured personal loan portfolio among the loans pledged as collateral.
The primary uses of LC Bank liquidity include the funding/acquisition of loans and securities purchases; withdrawals, maturities and the payment of interest on deposits; compensation and benefits expense; taxes; capital expenditures, including internally developed software, leasehold improvements and computer equipment; and costs associated with the continued development and support of our online lending marketplace platform.
Net capital expenditures were $32.3 million, or 7.0% of total net revenue, and $37.4 million, or 6.2% of total net revenue, for the first halves of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2023 are expected to be approximately $65 million, primarily related to costs associated with the continued development and support of our online lending marketplace platform, including regulatory compliance costs.
LendingClub Holding Company Liquidity
The primary source of liquidity at the holding company is $74.6 million and $56.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the holding company has the ability to access the capital markets through additional registrations and public equity offerings.
Uses of cash at the holding company include the routine cash flow requirements as a bank holding company, such as interest and expenses (including those associated with our office leases), the needs of LC Bank for additional equity and, as required, its need for debt financing and support for extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.
Factors Impacting Liquidity
The Company’s liquidity could be adversely impacted by deteriorating financial and market conditions, the inability or unwillingness of a creditor to provide funding, an idiosyncratic event (e.g., a major loss, causing a perceived or actual deterioration in its financial condition), an adverse systemic event (e.g., default or bankruptcy of a significant capital markets participant), or others.
73
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
We believe, based on our projections, that our cash on hand, liquid AFS securities, available borrowing capacity, and cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months, as well as beyond the next twelve months. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” for additional detail regarding our cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices, and/or other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from financial instruments including loans, securities and borrowings, all entered into for purposes other than trading.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
LendingClub Bank
Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, and the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, among other factors.
Loans HFI at LC Bank are funded primarily through our deposit base. The majority of loans HFI are fixed-rate instruments over the term of the loans. As a result, the primary component of interest rate risk on our financial instruments at LC Bank arises from the impact of fluctuations in loan and deposit rates on our net interest income. Therefore, we use a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on our net interest income results. The outcome of the analysis is influenced by a variety of assumptions, including the maturity profile and prepayment level of our unsecured consumer loans and expected consumer responses to changes in rates paid on non-maturity deposit products. Our assumptions are periodically calibrated to observed data and/or expected outcomes.
The following table presents the change in projected net interest income for the next twelve months due to a hypothetical instantaneous parallel change in interest rates relative to current rates:
June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | ||||||||||
Instantaneous Change in Interest Rates: | |||||||||||
+ 200 basis points | (9.1) | % | (6.9) | % | |||||||
+ 100 basis points | (4.4) | % | (3.3) | % | |||||||
– 100 basis points | 2.7 | % | 1.9 | % | |||||||
– 200 basis points | 5.1 | % | 3.5 | % |
As illustrated in the table above, net interest income is projected to decrease over the next twelve months during hypothetical rising interest rate environments primarily as a result of higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher rates earned on new loans, investment purchases, and cash and cash equivalents. Conversely, net interest income is projected to increase over the next twelve months during hypothetical declining interest rate environments. The increase in sensitivity as of June 30, 2023 relative to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to the composition of our loans and deposits. Furthermore, during fluctuating interest rate environments, the increased sensitivity of repricing interest-bearing deposits is more impactful than that of repricing fixed rate loans.
Although we believe that these measurements provide an estimate of our interest rate sensitivity, they do not account for potential changes in credit quality, balance sheet mix, size of our balance sheet, or other business developments that could affect net income. Actual results could differ materially from the estimated outcomes of our simulations.

For the contractual maturities and weighted-average yields on the Company’s AFS securities portfolio, see “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 4. Securities Available for Sale.”
LendingClub Holding Company
At the holding company level, we continue to measure interest rate sensitivity by evaluating the change in fair value of certain assets and liabilities due to a hypothetical change in interest rates. Principal payments on our loans HFI continue to reduce the outstanding balance of this portfolio, and, as a result, the fair value impact from changes in interest rates continues to diminish.

For a comprehensive discussion regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2023. In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, of achieving the desired control objectives, and is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, were designed and functioned effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the second quarter of 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a comprehensive discussion of legal proceedings, see “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. While we believe the risks and uncertainties described therein include all material risks currently known by us, it is possible that these may not be the only ones we face. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our Annual Report remains current in all material respects, with the exception of the below.
The current economic environment, including a potential recession and the resumption of Federal student loan payments, could negatively affect our business and operating results.
The U.S. economy is undergoing a period of rapid change and significant uncertainty. A number of factors are causing this change and uncertainty, including elevated inflation, increasing interest rates, evolving government
76
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
policies and changing U.S. consumer spending patterns. Inflation reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022, and the annual inflation rate for the U.S. was 6.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. In response to elevated inflation, the FRB increased interest rates eleven times since early 2022, from a federal funds rate range of 0.00% to 0.25% in early 2022 to 5.25% to 5.50% as of July 2023, and has indicated that it will conduct additional rate increases as it deems necessary to combat inflation. The increases in, and uncertainty with respect to, inflation and interest rates are changing lending and spending patterns, and thereby prompting fears that the U.S. is currently experiencing or will soon experience an economic downturn or prolonged period of slow economic growth.
Our business is sensitive to, and may be adversely impacted by, the current inflation and interest rate environment. Among other things, as inflation and interest rates are elevated: (i) existing borrowers may allocate more of their income to necessities such as housing and food, thereby potentially increasing their risk of default by reducing their ability to make loan payments, (ii) the rate we offer on our deposit products will increase to remain competitive, thereby increasing our cost of funding and reducing our net interest margin, (iii) the return our loan products generate may be less attractive relative to other investment options, thereby reducing platform investor demand in our loan products, and (iv) we may need to increase interest rates and/or tighten credit standards for new originations, thereby potentially making it more challenging to source enough interested and qualified borrowers to enable sufficient origination volume. Further, the pace of recent increases in inflation and interest rates creates unique challenges in our ability to operate our business. For example, the rapid increase in interest rates has quickly increased the cost of capital for our non-bank platform investors and thereby increased their return expectations. However, because our consumer loans are fixed interest rate products, we are unable to re-price existing loans and, with respect to new originations, we need to re-price methodically to remain competitive and mitigate the adverse impacts of doing so. Therefore, until the pace of interest rate environment stabilizes, we may be challenged to fully meet the return expectations for certain of our platform investors which may adversely impact our marketplace volume and related revenue.
In addition, changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, government policies in response to the current economic climate may adversely impact our business. For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the U.S. Department of Education implemented a student loan relief program which included a suspension of: (i) federal loan payments, (ii) interest rate accrual and (iii) collections on defaulted loans (collectively, the Student Loan Forbearance Program). However, in connection with a recent agreement to raise the borrowing capacity of the Federal government, the Student Loan Forbearance Program is expected to lapse and payments and interest accruals are expected to resume by September 2023 (collectively, the Student Loan Payment Resumption).
We are monitoring the Student Loan Payment Resumption and currently believe that its impact on our loan performance should be muted because of: (i) the 12-month “on ramp” period announced by the U.S. Department of Education over which federal student loan borrowers can resume their student loan payments without being considered delinquent, reported to credit bureaus, placed in default or referred to debt collection agencies, (ii) hardship programs from the government and LendingClub, (iii) initiatives to proactively inform our borrowers impacted by the Student Loan Payment Resumption of their payment obligations and available hardship programs, and (iv) our expectation that certain borrowers may prioritize other debt payments, including personal loans, over the repayment of student loans. Further, in anticipation of the potential impact of the Student Loan Payment Resumption, we began undertaking certain changes to our underwriting standards in 2022 that were intended to proactively incorporate the potential impact of the Federal Student Loan Resumption on the credit profile of loan applicants. However, the Student Loan Payment Resumption is unprecedented and therefore its impact is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that the factors listed above will materialize or mute the impact of the Student Loan Payment Resumption on our loan performance. We estimate that approximately 20% of the current outstanding unpaid principal balance on LendingClub loans is held by borrowers that have federal student loan payments that will resume pursuant to the Student Loan Payment Resumption. It is possible that the Federal Student Loan Resumption may reduce the ability of these borrowers to make other payments and thereby potentially increase their risk of default on their LendingClub loan(s). It is also possible that the Federal government may extend the Student Loan Forbearance Program or implement or leverage another program to mitigate the impact of the Student Loan Payment Resumption.

Finally, an economic downturn or recession could increase the risk of borrower default, reduce investor participation on our marketplace bank platform, cause us to change, postpone or cancel our strategic initiatives, or otherwise negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The current economic environment, and its impact, may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report, such as our exposure to the credit and default risk of borrowers, maintaining and increasing loan originations, maintaining our deposit base and retaining our platform investors.
