Forward Guidance
LendingClub is focused on long-term success by strengthening its business post-COVID. The acquisition of Radius Bank remains a top strategic priority.
Positive Outlook
- Employees remain engaged and they continue to serve our members effectively.
- We grew cash and cash equivalents to $445.2 million from $338.4 million at the end of the second quarter through a combination of cash flows from operations and additional loan sales.
- During the third quarter, we also fully paid off our $70.0 million revolving credit facility and paid down other debt facilities by approximately $290 million, significantly reducing leverage and further strengthening our balance sheet.
- Delinquencies are coming in lower than we had anticipated, and the strong performance of our loans is contributing to increased investor demand.
- Early data on our post-COVID vintages indicates IRRs of 5 to 6% reflecting our focus on marketing to our large base of existing members, tighter underwriting and increased loan pricing.

- GAAP Consolidated Net Loss of $(34.3) million primarily reflected an 83% year-over-year decrease in loan origination volumes
