Affirm Q2 2023 Earnings Report
Affirm's Q2 2023 results reflected mixed performance with revenue in line, adjusted operating income exceeding expectations, but GMV and RLTC falling below outlook.
Key Takeaways
Affirm reported an 11% increase in total revenue to $400 million, while GMV reached a new quarterly record of $5.7 billion, representing a 27% year-over-year growth. The company managed expenses effectively, leading to better-than-expected adjusted operating income, and took decisive steps to restructure its cost base by reducing its workforce by 19%.

Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Affirm anticipates that pricing initiatives should begin to bear fruit, which will allow them to mitigate some of the increase in benchmark interest rates and spreads. They continue to expect to remain in their long term range of 3-4% RLTC as a percentage of GMV for FY’23.
Positive Outlook
- Pricing initiatives are expected to mitigate the impact of increased interest rates and spreads.
- Improved visibility into revenue and RLTC as revenue from loans already originated is recognized.
- The year-over-year decline in Peloton GMV will be less of a headwind to year-over-year GMV growth.
- Combination of RLTC growth and flat operating expenses will drive operating leverage.
- Expect to hold non-GAAP G&A and non-GAAP sales and marketing operating expenses relatively constant at our new, post restructuring, run rate, in the near term.
Challenges Ahead
- Current forward interest rate curve and negative consumer sentiment will persist through the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with no improvement in macroeconomic conditions.
- Workforce and operating expense reductions: with the restructuring plan that we announced today we are meaningfully reducing our staffing levels.
