San francisco--(business wire)--affirm holdings, inc. (nasdaq: afrm) (“affirm” or the "company”), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended june 30, 2022. “affirm delivered strong performance in the fourth quarter,” said max levchin, founder and ceo of affirm. "we grew gmv by 77% and set a new record for consumer re-engagement with 85% of transactions coming from repeat users, all while prudently managing risk. we remain focused on scaling our network, maintaining attractive unit economics, capturing greater share, and helping our partners grow." levchin continued, "while the growth of online commerce is falling back to pre-covid levels, the secular trend toward adopting honest financial products is gaining momentum. not only does this make our mission more important but it also plays directly into affirm's strengths. with our breadth of product offerings, risk management expertise and superior technology, we stand ready to meet the moment by making money more efficient for all of our network's participants.” fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 operating highlights: all comparisons are made versus the same period in fiscal year 2021 unless otherwise stated. gmv for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.4 billion, an increase of 77%; gmv for fiscal year 2022 was $15.5 billion, an increase of 87%. active merchants saw an increase from 29,000 to 235,000, driven primarily by the adoption of shop pay installments by merchants on shopify's platform. active consumers grew 96% to 14.0 million and increased by 1.2 million, or 10%, on a sequential basis compared to as of march 31, 2022. total transactions grew to 12.0 million for the quarter, an increase of 139%. transactions per active consumer increased 31% to 3.0 as of june 30, 2022, and 85% of total transactions during the fourth quarter were from repeat affirm consumers. fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 financial highlights:1 all comparisons are made versus the same period in fiscal year 2021 unless otherwise stated. total revenue was $364.1 million, a 39% increase, driven primarily by continued gmv growth as well as higher interest income and greater servicing income as the loan portfolio held by third parties scaled. the impact from this higher gmv growth and increased income was offset by mix shift towards lower take rate programs such as split pay and large enterprise partnerships in the general merchandise category, which saw gmv growth of 477%. total revenue less transaction costs increased 25% to $184.3 million primarily as a result of strong revenue growth and a decrease in loss on loan purchase commitment, offset by increased processing and servicing costs and provision for credit losses. provision for credit losses grew to $72.7 million compared to $25.5 million a year ago, a period which saw the release of covid-related allowances. in comparison to our more normalized fiscal third quarter of 2022, provision for credit losses grew just 10%, and provision for credit losses as a percentage of gmv declined by 4 basis points sequentially to 1.65%. excluding the provision for credit losses, revenue less transaction costs increased by $83.8 million or 48%. operating loss was $277.2 million compared to $114.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which includes $108.0 million of expense related to warrants granted to amazon in november 2021 and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $10.7 million to $110.9 million. adjusted operating loss was $29.3 million compared to adjusted operating income of $14.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. adjusted operating margin was (8.0)%, compared to 5.4% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. net loss was $186.4 million compared to $123.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. fiscal year 2022 financial highlights:1 all comparisons are made versus fiscal year 2021 unless otherwise stated. total revenue was $1.3 billion, a 55% increase, driven by continued growth in gmv, expansion of the active merchant base, deepening of enterprise partnerships, higher interest income related to mix shift towards shorter term loans with greater relative loan discount, greater gains on sales of loans due to higher loan sale volume, and greater servicing income as the loan portfolio held by third-parties scaled. total revenue less transaction costs was $662.4 million, a 35% increase compared to $431.6 million in fiscal year 2021, primarily as a result of strong revenue growth, funding cost efficiencies, and a decrease in loss on loan purchase commitment, offset by increased provision for credit losses. during fiscal year 2021, stronger than expected repayment performance against covid-related allowances resulted in a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $39.2 million compared to fiscal year 2020. fiscal year 2022 saw a return to a more normalized credit environment, which resulted in an increase in the provision of $189.4 million. excluding the provision for credit losses, revenue less transaction costs increased by $420.2 million or 84%. operating loss was $866.0 million compared to $383.7 million in fiscal year 2021, which includes $281.0 million of expense related to warrants granted to amazon in november 2021 and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $98.5 million to $391.0 million. adjusted operating loss was $78.3 million compared to an adjusted operating income of $14.3 million in fiscal year 2021. adjusted operating margin was (5.8)% compared to 1.6% in fiscal year 2021. net loss was $707.4 million compared to $441.0 million in fiscal year 2021. recent business highlights on june 22, 2022, the company successfully completed a $371.5 million securitization of its long-duration 0% apr point-of-sale installment loans from its "z" issuance series - affrm 2022-z1. similar to the company's recent 0% apr point-of-sale installment securitizations, this transaction qualified for non-consolidated accounting treatment. this marks the company's tenth overall securitization transaction since launching its program in 2020. during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the company added $1.6 billion in net new funding capacity, bringing total funding capacity to $10.6 billion as of june 30, 2022 and total platform portfolio as a percentage of funding capacity down to 67%, a three-year low. the company continued to see strong gmv growth in the travel and ticketing category during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which grew by 87% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, and 40% on a sequential basis from the third quarter of fiscal 2022. “we closed out our fiscal year very strongly, growing gmv by 87% and revenue by 55%,” said michael linford, cfo of affirm. “our outperformance demonstrates that our strategy and investments are delivering results. affirm achieved impressive growth rates as we expanded and diversified our merchant base while also demonstrating significant traction with our higher-frequency split pay offering. we believe that we are well-positioned to continue scaling our network while maintaining attractive unit economics." linford concluded, “in light of the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, we are approaching our next fiscal year prudently while maintaining our focus on driving responsible growth and continuing to invest in strengthening our leadership position. we continue to expect to achieve a sustained profitability run rate, on an adjusted operating income basis, by the end of fiscal 2023.” financial outlook the following table summarizes affirm's financial outlook for the fiscal first quarter and full year 2023 periods. fiscal q1 2023 fiscal year 2023 gmv $4.20 to $4.40 billion $20.50 to $22.00 billion revenue $345 to $365 million $1,625 to $1,725 million transaction costs $176 to $188 million $865 to $915

non-gaap financial measures to supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the united states ("gaap"), the company presents the following non-gaap financial measures: transaction costs, transaction costs as a percentage of gmv, revenue less transaction costs, revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of gmv, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin, total platform portfolio, equity capital required, and equity capital required as a percentage of total platform portfolio. definitions of these non-gaap financial measures are included under "key operating metrics, non-gaap financial measures and supplemental performance indicators" above, and reconciliations of these non-gaap financial measures with the most directly comparable gaap financial measures are included in the tables below. summaries of the reasons why the company believes that the presentation of each of these non-gaap financial measures provides useful information to the company and investors are included under "key operating metrics, non-gaap financial measures and supplemental performance indicators" above. in addition, the company uses these non-gaap financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with gaap for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and for evaluating the effectiveness of its business strategy. however, these non-gaap financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and these non-gaap financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. some of these limitations are as follows: revenue less transaction costs and revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of gmv are not intended to be measures of operating profit or loss as they exclude key operating expenses such as technology and data analytics, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating margin exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, the expense related to warrants and share-based payments granted to enterprise partners, and share-based compensation expense, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses; and other companies, including companies in the same industry, may calculate these non-gaap financial measures differently from how the company calculates them or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. accordingly, investors should not consider these non-gaap financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the company's financial results as reported under gaap, and these non-gaap measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with gaap. investors are encouraged to review the related gaap financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable gaap financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business. cautionary note about forward-looking statements this document contains forward-looking statements within the
