Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Prosper measures the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with its fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. The Company applies this framework whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheets are classified among three levels based on the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value: Level 1 — The valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2 — The valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation methodologies for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 — The valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instrument. Level 3 valuations are typically performed using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar methodologies, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair values of assets or liabilities are determined based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Various valuation methodologies are utilized, depending on the nature of the financial instrument, including the use of market prices for identical or similar instruments, or discounted cash flow models. When possible, active and observable market data for identical or similar financial instruments are utilized. Alternatively, fair value is determined using assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Prosper did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value The fair value of the Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Notes, Certificates Issued by Securitization Trust, Servicing Rights and loan trailing fee liability are estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies based upon a set of valuation assumptions. The primary assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include default and prepayment rates primarily derived from historical performance and discount rates applied to each credit grade based on the perceived credit risk of each credit grade. The Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability is valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Refer to Note 12 for further details. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands): September 30, 2020 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Total Assets: Borrower Loans $ — $ — $ 414,877 $ 414,877 Loans Held for Sale — — 252,443 252,443 Servicing Assets — — 9,306 9,306 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 676,626 $ 676,626 Liabilities: Notes $ — $ — $ 206,931 $ 206,931 Certificates Issued by Securitization Trust, at Fair Value — — 26,781 26,781 Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability — — 86,372 86,372 Loan Trailing Fee Liability — — 2,262 2,262 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 322,346 $ 322,346 December 31, 2019 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Total Assets: Borrower Loans $ — $ — $ 634,019 $ 634,019 Loans Held for Sale — — 142,026 142,026 Servicing Assets — — 12,602 12,602 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 788,647 $ 788,647 Liabilities: Notes $ — $ — $ 244,171 $ 244,171 Certificates Issued by Securitization Trust — — 52,168 52,168 Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability — — 149,996 149,996 Loan Trailing Fee Liability — — 2,997 2,997 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 449,332 $ 449,332 As Prosper’s Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Notes, Certificates Issued by Securitization Trust, Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability, servicing rights and loan trailing fee liability do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Financial instruments are categorized in the Level 3 valuation hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. Significant Unobservable Inputs The following tables present quantitative information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: Range Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Discount rate 5.5% - 17.0% 4.4% - 12.2% Default rate 2.3% - 18.1% 2.1% - 18.6% Range Certificates Issued by Securitization Trust September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Discount rate 5.1% - 18.5% 4.0% - 15.0% Default rate 3.3% - 16.3% 2.0% - 17.0% Prepayment rate 8.7% - 35.1% 14.5% - 33.0% Range Servicing Assets September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Discount rate 15.0% - 25.0% 15.0% - 25.0% Default rate 1.9% - 18.5% 1.7% - 18.8% Prepayment rate 13.4% - 24.5% 16.5% - 28.1% Market servicing rate (1) (2) 0.625% - 0.818% 0.625 % (1) Servicing assets associated with loans enrolled in a relief program offered by the Company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as of September 30, 2020 were measured using a market servicing rate assumption of 81.8 basis points. This rate was estimated using a multiplier consistent with observable market rates for other loan types, applied to the base market servicing rate assumption of 62.5 basis points. (2) Excludes collection fees that would be passed on to a hypothetical third-party servicer. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the market rate for collection fees and non-sufficient fund fees was assumed to b e 7 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively, for a total market servicing rate range of 69.5 - 88.8 basis points and a total market servicing rate of 68.5 basis points, respectively. Range Loan Trailing Fee Liability September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Discount rate 15.0% - 25.0% 15.0% - 25.0% Default rate 1.9% - 18.5% 1.7% - 18.8% Prepayment rate 13.4% - 24.5% 16.5% - 28.1% At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the Notes fair values used the same projected cash flows as the related Borrower Loans.

The effect on fair value of a variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Prosper Funding has elected to record certain financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. Prosper Funding classifies Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes as financial instruments and assesses their fair value each on a quarterly basis for financial statement presentation purposes. Gains and losses on these financial instruments are shown separately on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the Notes fair values used the same projected cash flows as the related Borrower Loans. As demonstrated in the table below, the fair value adjustments for Borrower Loans were largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the Notes due to the borrower payment dependent design of the Notes and because the principal balances of the Borrower Loans approximated the principal balances of the Notes. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheets are classified among three levels based on the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value: Level 1 — The valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2 — The valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation methodologies for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 — The valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instrument. Level 3 valuations are typically performed using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar methodologies, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair values of assets or liabilities are determined based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Various valuation methodologies are utilized, depending on the nature of the financial instrument, including the use of market prices for identical or similar instruments, or discounted cash flow models. When possible, active and observable market data for identical or similar financial instruments are utilized. Alternatively, fair value is determined using assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Prosper Funding did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value The fair value of the Borrower Loans and Notes are estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies based upon a set of valuation assumptions. The primary cash flow assumptions used to value such Borrower Loans and Notes include default and prepayment rates derived primarily from historical performance and discount rates that reflect estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar characteristics. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands): September 30, 2020 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Total Assets: Borrower Loans $ — $ — $ 208,044 $ 208,044 Servicing Assets — — 11,265 11,265 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 219,309 $ 219,309 Liabilities: Notes $ — $ — $ 206,931 $ 206,931 Loan Trailing Fee Liability — — 2,262 2,262 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 209,193 $ 209,193 December 31, 2019 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Total Assets: Borrower Loans $ — $ — $ 245,137 $ 245,137 Servicing Assets — — 14,888 14,888 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 260,025 $ 260,025 Liabilities: Notes $ — $ — $ 244,171 $ 244,171 Loan Trailing Fee Liability — — 2,997 2,997 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 247,168 $ 247,168 As Prosper Funding’s Borrower Loans, Notes, Servicing Assets and loan trailing fee liability do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, Prosper Funding uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Financial instruments are categorized in the Level 3 valuation hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

Notes September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Fair value, using the following assumptions: $ 206,931 $ 244,171 Weighted-average discount rate 10.50 % 6.43 % Weighted-average default rate 12.90 % 13.68 % Fair value resulting from: 100 basis point increase in discount rate $ 205,143 $ 241,927 200 basis point increase in discount rate 203,396 239,737 Fair value resulting from: 100 basis point decrease in discount rate $ 208,761 $ 246,471 200 basis point decrease in discount rate 210,635 248,828 Fair value resulting from: 10 percent increase in default rate $ 204,777 $ 240,958 20 percent increase in default rate 202,634 237,831 Fair value resulting from: 10 percent decrease in default rate $ 209,093 $ 247,489 20 percent decrease in default rate 211,266 250,817 Key economic assumptions are used to compute the fair value of Servicing Assets. The sensitivity of the current fair value to immediate changes in assumptions at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for Servicing Assets are presented in the following table (in thousands, except percentages). Servicing Assets September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Fair value, using the following assumptions: $ 11,265 $ 14,888 Weighted-average market servicing rate 0.634 % 0.625 % Weighted-average prepayment rate 20.13 % 20.99 % Weighted-average default rate 13.13 % 12.67 % Fair value resulting from: Market servicing rate increase of 0.025% $ 10,588 $ 13,966 Market servicing rate decrease of 0.025% 11,943 15,811 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 1.1 multiplier to prepayment rate $ 11,045 $ 14,583 Applying a 0.9 multiplier to prepayment rate 11,488 15,197 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 1.1 multiplier to default rate $ 11,109 $ 14,618 Applying a 0.9 multiplier to default rate 11,422 15,165 These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects. |
