Second Quarter 2020 Highlights and Recent Developments

 

·Growth in originations and net revenues. FlexShopper recorded growth in both gross lease originations and net revenues in the second quarter. Retail partner lease originations saw improvement from COVID-19 restriction-driven lows experienced at the end of Q1/early in Q2 but remained below pre-pandemic levels.

 

·Payments activity remains firm. As of June 30, 2020, FlexShopper observed an improvement in payments activity by its customers compared to the same period last year. The Company continues to closely monitor payments on a weekly basis and intends to modify its marketing and underwriting as needed.

 

·Retailer rollouts were delayed due to COVID-19. Previously-planned programs with new retail partners that were originally scheduled for late Q1 and/or Q2 were delayed. Since the end of Q2, the Company has been able to move forward with some of these new programs.

 

Rich House, CEO, stated, “Over the course of the second quarter we saw states progress through phased economic reopenings. As they did so, we followed suit as we felt an increased marketing push would yield a positive return. On our first quarter earnings call we noted that our payment activity had remained firm and that continues to be the case.

Mr. House continued, “Our retail partners have seen their store traffic begin to return as states moved through phased reopening of in-person businesses. That has, in turn, led to an increase in leases originated through this channel although activity remains below levels experienced prior to COVID-19. We are now moving forward with new partner trials and rollouts that were delayed earlier in the year.”

 

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the definition of this measure under “Non-GAAP Measures.”

Non-GAAP Measures

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, stock-based compensation, taxes, depreciation (other than depreciation of leased inventory), amortization, and one-time or non-recurring items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes.

Key performance metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
