Summary
Affirm Holdings, Inc. reported a net loss of $205.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, a significant increase from the $54.7 million net loss in the prior year's comparable period. This widened loss was primarily driven by a substantial increase in operating expenses, particularly in technology and data analytics, alongside restructuring charges of $34.9 million related to workforce reductions and office space consolidation. Despite the increased loss, Total Revenue, net, saw a healthy 7% increase to $381.0 million, primarily fueled by a 32% rise in interest income, reflecting growth in loans held for investment and recent pricing initiatives. Key operational metrics showed positive trends, with Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) growing 18% year-over-year to $4.6 billion, supported by an expanding merchant base and increased active consumers. The company also reported growth in active consumers (up 26%) and transactions per active consumer (up 34%). Affirm repurchased $299.1 million of its convertible senior notes, resulting in an $89.8 million gain on extinguishment of debt. The company maintained a strong liquidity position with $2.0 billion in cash and equivalents and available-for-sale securities, and $2.5 billion in remaining funding capacity across warehouse channels as of March 31, 2023.
