Except as the context requires otherwise, as used herein, “Registrants” refers to Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI”), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Prosper Funding LLC (“PFL”), a Delaware limited liability company; “we,” “us,” “our,” “Prosper,” and the “Company” refers to (i) PMI, (ii) its wholly owned subsidiaries, PFL, BillGuard, Inc. (“BillGuard”), a Delaware corporation, and Prosper Healthcare Lending LLC (“PHL”), a Delaware limited liability company, and (iii) its variable interest entities, Prosper Warehouse I Trust (“PWIT,” terminated March 28, 2024), a Delaware statutory trust, Prosper Warehouse II Trust (“PWIIT,” terminated September 25, 2023), a Delaware statutory trust, Prosper Marketplace Issuance Trust, Series 2023-1 (“PMIT 2023-1”), a Delaware statutory trust, Prosper Marketplace Issuance Trust, Series 2024-1 (“PMIT 2024-1”), a Delaware statutory trust, and Prosper Grantor Trust (“PGT”), a Delaware statutory trust, on a consolidated basis; and “Prosper Funding” refers to PFL and its wholly owned subsidiary, Prosper Depositor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on a consolidated basis. In addition, the unsecured personal loans originated through our marketplace are referred to as “Borrower Loans,” and the borrower payment dependent notes issued through our marketplace, whether issued by PMI or PFL, are referred to as “Notes.” Investors currently invest in Borrower Loans through two channels: (i) the “Note Channel,” which allows investors to purchase Notes from PFL, the payments of which are dependent on the payments made on the corresponding Borrower Loan; and (ii) the “Whole Loan Channel,” which allows accredited and institutional investors to purchase Borrower Loans in their entirety directly from PFL. The Notes available to Note Channel investors are distinguishable from notes held by certain third party investors pursuant to Prosper’s securitization transactions, which are referred to herein as “Notes Issued by Securitization Trust.” Finally, although historically the Company has referred to investors as “lender members,” PFL calls them “investors” herein to avoid confusion since WebBank is the lender for Borrower Loans originated through our marketplace.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. These statements may appear throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the sections titled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, PFL or PMI expresses an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of their respective managements, expressed in good faith and is believed to have a reasonable basis. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:
•the performance of the Notes, which, in addition to being speculative investments, are special, limited obligations that are not guaranteed or insured;
•PFL’s ability to make payments on the Notes, including in the event that borrowers fail to make payments on the corresponding Borrower Loans;
•our ability to attract potential borrowers and investors to our personal loan marketplace, and borrowers to our unsecured credit card (“Credit Card”) product, and secured digital home equity line of credit and home equity loan (together, the “Home Equity Products”);
•the reliability of the information about borrowers that is supplied by borrowers including actions by some borrowers to defraud investors;
•our ability to service the Borrower Loans, and our ability or the ability of a third-party debt collector to pursue collection against any borrower, including in the event of fraud or identity theft;
•credit risks posed by the credit worthiness of borrowers of our Personal Loan and Credit Card products and the effectiveness of our credit rating systems;
•potential efforts by state regulators or litigants to impose liability that could affect PFL’s (or any subsequent assignee’s) ability to continue to charge to borrowers the interest rates that they agreed to pay at origination of their loans;
•the impact of future economic conditions on the performance of the Notes and the loss rates for the Notes;
•the growth and performance of the recently-launched Credit Card product and the Home Equity products;
•our compliance with applicable local, state and federal law, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other laws;
•our compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory developments or court decisions affecting our business;
•potential efforts by state regulators or litigants to characterize PFL or PMI, rather than WebBank, as the lender of the loans originated through our marketplace;
•the application of federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws to borrowers and to PFL and PMI;
•the impact of borrower delinquencies, defaults and prepayments on the returns on the Notes;
•the impact of rising interest rates and inflation on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects;
•the lack of a public trading market for the Notes and the current lack of any trading platform on which investors can resell the Notes;
•the federal income tax treatment of an investment in the Notes and the PMI Management Rights; and
•our ability to prevent security breaches, disruptions in service, and comparable events that could compromise the personal and confidential information held on our data systems, reduce the attractiveness of the platform or adversely impact our ability to service Borrower Loans.
There may be other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does occur, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully read the factors described in the “Risk Factors” sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

PROSPER MARKETPLACE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 22, 2005. Except as the context requires otherwise, as used in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of PMI, “Prosper,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PMI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and disclosure requirements for interim financial information and the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Management believes these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
PMI did not have any items of other comprehensive income or loss for any of the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The preparation of Prosper’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in Prosper’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMI, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Notes Issued by Securitization Trust are notes held by certain third-party investors pursuant to Prosper’s securitization transactions, and are distinguishable from the borrower payment dependent Notes available to investors through the Company’s Note Channel.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Prosper’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Prosper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these accounting policies during the first six months of 2024.
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments measured at fair value consist principally of Borrower Loans (Note 4), Loans Held for Sale (Note 4), Servicing Assets (Note 6), Credit Card Derivative (Note 5), Loan Trailing Fee Liabilities (Note 10), Debt (Note 11) and Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability (Note 13). The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, including Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, and Payable to Investors approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair values of the Term Loan and Warehouse Lines (Note 11) do not approximate their carrying values due primarily to differences in the stated and market rates associated with these instruments.
Refer to Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, for additional fair value disclosures.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of cash deposits, money market funds and short-term certificate of deposit accounts held as collateral as required for loan funding and servicing activities, and cash that investors or Prosper have on the marketplace that has not yet been invested in Borrower Loans or disbursed to the investor.
Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes
Borrower Loans are funded either through the Note Channel or through the Whole Loan Channel. Through the Note Channel, Prosper purchases Borrower Loans from WebBank, then issues Notes and holds the Borrower Loans until maturity. The obligation to repay a series of Notes issued through the Note Channel is dependent upon the repayment of the associated Borrower Loan. Borrower Loans funded and Notes issued through the Note Channel are carried on Prosper’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities, respectively.
Until March 2024, Prosper used Warehouse Lines to purchase Loans Held for Sale that could be subsequently contributed to securitization transactions or sold to investors. Loans Held for Sale were included in “Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In September 2023 and March 2024, in connection with the securitization transactions discussed below, the Loans Held for Sale in these Warehouse Lines were fully contributed to the securitization entities or purchased by Prosper, and the outstanding balances of the Warehouse Lines were fully paid down. See Note 11, Debt for more details on the termination of the Warehouse Lines.
In September 2023 and March 2024, Prosper closed two separate securitization transactions, PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1, respectively, with personal loans previously funded through its PWIIT Warehouse Line and PWIT Warehouse Line, respectively. These newly formed securitization entities issued notes acquired by third parties and residual certificates acquired by PMI (a majority owned affiliate of PFL, the sole sponsor of the securitizations). PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 are deemed consolidated VIEs, and as a result the Borrower Loans they hold are presented in “Borrower Loans, at Fair Value,” and the notes sold to third-party investors are included in “Notes Issued by Securitization Trust” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7, Securitizations, for additional disclosures related to these securitizations.
Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale are purchased from WebBank. Prosper places Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale on non-accrual status when they are 120 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, Prosper stops accruing interest and reverses all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date. Additionally, Prosper charges-off Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale when they are 120 days past due. The fair value of loans 120 or more days past due generally consists of the expected recovery from debt sales in subsequent periods.
Prosper has elected the fair value option for Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes. Changes in the fair value of Borrower Loans funded through the Note Channel are largely offset by the changes in fair value of Notes due to the borrower payment-dependent design of the Notes. Changes in the fair value of Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale are recorded through Proper's earnings and Prosper collects interest on Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale. Changes in the fair values of Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes are included in “Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments” on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Prosper primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes. The key assumptions used in the valuation include default rates and prepayment rates derived primarily from historical performance, and discount rates based on estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar characteristics.
Credit Card Derivative
The Company evaluated the terms of its Credit Card program agreement (the “Credit Card Program Agreement”) with Coastal Community Bank (“Coastal”) and determined that it contained features that met the definition of derivatives under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These features are freestanding financial instruments (as defined under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity), and have been valued separately as derivatives. A right of offset exists between the derivatives, and they are presented net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the Credit Card Derivative, as well as settled transactions from the Credit Card portfolio, are recorded in “Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments” on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Refer to Note 5, Credit Card, for additional details on revenues and expenses related to the Credit Card product, and to Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, for additional details related to the valuation methodology for the Credit Card Derivative.
Transaction Fee Refunds
Prosper assumes WebBank’s obligation under Utah law to refund the pro-rated amount of any Transaction Fees collected in excess of 5%, in the event the underlying borrower prepays the loan in full before maturity. Liabilities under this obligation are estimated upon the origination of Borrower Loans and recorded within Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities on the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheets. The key assumptions used in the estimated refund liability include prepayment rates and default rates derived primarily from historical performance. Changes in the liability are recorded within Transaction Fees, Net on the accompanying consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, for details on the amounts recorded under this obligation.
Term Loan
Prosper entered into a Credit Agreement, which provided for a Term Loan with a third-party financial institution in November 2022, which is more fully described in Note 11, Debt. This Term Loan is carried at amortized cost, net of discounts and issuance costs, which are subsequently amortized to Interest Expense on Term Loan over the life of the underlying agreement.
Interest Expense on Term Loan is presented as a component of Expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, except for any portion associated with Term Loan proceeds used to purchase Loans Held for Sale through the Company’s Warehouse Lines, which is presented in “Interest Expense on Financial Instruments” as a component of Net Interest Income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Leases
Management determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Property and Equipment, Net and in Other Liabilities, respectively. For certain leases with original terms of twelve months or less, PMI recognizes the lease expense as incurred and does not record ROU assets and lease liabilities.
If a contract contains a lease, management evaluates whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of PMI's leases do not provide an implicit rate, management uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets are evaluated for impairment utilizing the same impairment model used for Property and Equipment.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
The determination of whether to consolidate a VIE in which we have a variable interest requires a significant amount of analysis and judgment regarding whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to our holding a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest in a VIE exists if we have both the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and a potentially significant economic interest in the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE considers factors, such as (i) whether the entity’s equity investment at risk is insufficient to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and (ii) whether a holder’s equity investment at risk lacks any of the following characteristics of a controlling financial interest: the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions about a legal entity’s activities that have a significant effect on the entity’s success, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity.
Management regularly reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusions regarding the status of an entity as a VIE and whether we are required to consolidate or deconsolidate such VIE in the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Issued, to be Adopted by the Company in Future Periods
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting, in order to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative referenced rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The optional guidance, which became effective on March 12, 2020, could be applied through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued No 2022-06 extending the sunset date of the relief provided under ASU No. 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. The Company amended its agreements and transitioned to SOFR for contracts that previously referenced LIBOR. The Company continues to evaluate potential future impacts that may result from the discontinuation of LIBOR or other reference rates as well as the accounting provided in this update on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the ASC in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”, and align the ASC’s requirements with the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure requirements and provides clarity to the disclosures of income taxes paid, income before taxes and provision for income taxes. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Borrower Loans in non-accrual status had a fair value of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Loans Held for Sale
As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of Loans Held for Sale was reduced to zero following the contribution of loans held in consolidated warehouse trusts to the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitization transactions in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively, as more fully described in Note 7, Securitizations. As of December 31, 2023, outstanding Loans Held for Sale had original terms to maturity of either 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, had monthly payments with fixed interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 33.00% and had various original maturity dates through July 2028. Interest income earned on Loans Held for Sale by the Company was zero and $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4.3 million and $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Prosper places loans on non-accrual status when they are over 120 days past due. As of December 31, 2023, Loans Held for Sale in non-accrual status had a fair value of $0.2 million.
5. Credit Card
In March 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Card Program Agreement that revised the allocation of customer accounts designated as Prosper accounts (“Prosper Allocations”) and Coastal accounts (“Coastal Allocations”) from 90% and 10%, respectively, to 95% and 5%, respectively. Additionally, the maximum outstanding Credit Card principal balance for Prosper Allocations was increased from $300 million to $350 million. These changes went into effect on April 1, 2024.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $2.2 million of unrealized losses and $2.7 million of unrealized gains, respectively, from fair value changes on the Credit Card Derivative. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $6.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of unrealized gains from fair value changes on the Credit Card Derivative. Changes from settled transactions underlying the Credit Card Derivative, including income from debt sales on charged off balances, were a loss of $2.9 million and a gain of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a loss of $5.6 million and $1.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These unrealized and settled gains and losses are included in Changes in Fair Value of Financial Instruments on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company records revenue from various fees generated from the Credit Card program, including interchange fees, annual fees and late fees, net of a portion of the interchange fees that must be remitted to Coastal. These fees are included in Transaction Fees, Net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, these fees totaled $5.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, these fees totaled $11.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
Under the program agreement, Prosper is responsible for servicing the entire underlying Credit Card portfolio. Coastal pays the Company a 1% per annum servicing fee on the daily outstanding principal balance of receivables designated as Coastal Allocations. To the extent these servicing fees do not exceed the market servicing rate a market participant would require to service the entire Credit Card portfolio, the Company records a servicing obligation liability and measures it at fair value through the servicing period. The net balance of this servicing obligation liability is included in Other Liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10, Other Liabilities). Changes in the fair value of the servicing obligation liability are recorded in Servicing Fees, Net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, and totaled a loss of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
6. Servicing Assets
Prosper accounts for Servicing Assets at their estimated fair values with changes in fair values recorded in Servicing Fees, Net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The initial asset or liability is recognized in Gain (Loss) on the Sale of Borrower Loans on the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the Company sells Borrower Loans to unrelated third-party buyers through the Whole Loan Channel and the servicing rights are retained. The Servicing Assets are measured at fair value throughout the servicing period. The Company recognized gains from the initial recognition of Servicing Assets on the sale of Borrower Loans in the amounts of $2.6 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.1 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are offset primarily by incentives provided to loan buyers at the time of sale.
As of June 30, 2024, Borrower Loans that were sold but for which Prosper retained servicing rights had a total outstanding principal balance of $3.1 billion, original terms to maturity of 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, monthly payments with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.46% to 33.00%, and various original maturity dates through June 2029. As of December 31,
2023, Borrower Loans that were sold but for which Prosper retained servicing rights had a total outstanding principal balance of $3.1 billion, original terms to maturity of either 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, monthly payments with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.46% to 33.00%, and various original maturity dates through December 2028.
Contractually-specified servicing fees and ancillary fees totaling $7.5 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $14.9 million and $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in Servicing Fees, Net.
Fair Value Valuation Method
Prosper uses a discounted cash flow valuation methodology generally consisting of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of a financial instrument and then discounts those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.
Significant unobservable inputs presented in the table within Note 8 below are those that Prosper considers significant to the estimated fair values of the Level 3 Servicing Assets. The following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.
Market Servicing Rate
Prosper estimates adequate market servicing rates that would fairly compensate a substitute servicer should one be required, which includes the profit that would be demanded in the marketplace. This rate is stated as a fixed percentage of outstanding principal balance on a per annum basis. With the assistance of a valuation specialist, Prosper estimates these market servicing rates based on observable market rates for other loan types in the industry and bids from subservicing providers, adjusted for the unique loan attributes that are present in the specific loans that Prosper sells and services and information from backup service providers.
Discount Rate
The discount rate is a rate of return used to discount future expected cash flows to arrive at a present value, which represents the fair value of the loan servicing rights. We use a range of discount rates for the Servicing Assets based on comparable observed valuations of similar assets and publicly available disclosures related to servicing valuations, with comparability adjustments made to account for differences with Prosper’s servicing assets.
Default Rate
The default rate presented in Note 8 is an annualized, average estimate considering all Borrower Loan categories (i.e., risk ratings and duration), and represents an aggregate of conditional default rate curves for each credit grade or Borrower Loan category. Each point on a particular Borrower Loan category’s curve represents the percentage of principal expected to default per period based on the term and age of the underlying Borrower Loans. The assumption regarding defaults directly reduces servicing revenues because the amount of servicing revenues received is based on the amount collected each period.
Prepayment Rate
The prepayment rate presented in Note 8 is an annualized, average estimate considering all Borrower Loan categories (i.e., risk ratings and duration), and represents an aggregate of conditional prepayment rate curves for each credit grade or Borrower Loan category. Each point on a particular Borrower Loan category’s curve represents the percentage of principal expected to prepay per period based on the term and age of the underlying Borrower Loans. Prepayments reduce servicing revenues as they shorten the period over which we expect to collect fees on the Borrower Loans, which is used to project future servicing revenues.
7. Securitizations
Prosper served as the sole sponsor of two securitizations of unsecured personal whole loans facilitated through the Company’s marketplace that were previously held in consolidated warehouse trusts: PMIT 2023-1 in September 2023 and PMIT 2024-1 in March 2024, respectively. These transactions benefit the Company by reducing the financing costs associated with the underlying Borrower Loans. Both securitizations issued senior notes and residual certificates to finance the purchase of Borrower Loans. The notes were sold to third-party investors and a majority-owned affiliate of the sole sponsor of the securitizations, PFL, retained the residual certificates. In addition to the residual certificates, Prosper’s continued involvement includes loan servicing responsibilities over the life of the underlying loans.
PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 (together, the “PMITs”) are deemed VIEs, and the Company consolidates them as the primary beneficiary. Through Prosper’s role as the servicer, it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect
the PMITs’ economic performance. Additionally, because the Company holds the residual certificates, it has a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the PMITs. In evaluating whether Prosper is the primary beneficiary, management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of the Company’s involvement with the PMITs. Management assesses whether Prosper is the primary beneficiary of the PMITs on an on-going basis. For the PMITs, the creditors have no recourse to the general credit of Prosper and the liabilities of the PMITs can only be settled by their respective assets. Additionally, the assets of the PMITs can be used only to settle obligations of the PMITs. Because Prosper consolidates the PMITs’ securitization trusts, the Borrower Loans held in those trusts are included in “Borrower Loans, at Fair Value,” and the notes sold to third-party investors are presented in “Notes Issued by Securitization Trust” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Because Prosper holds 100% of the residual certificates issued by the PMITs, they eliminate through consolidation and are thus not presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
PMIT 2023-1
In September 2023, Prosper closed the PMIT 2023-1 securitization. Based on the terms of the underlying agreements, the PWIIT Warehouse Line (see Note 11, Debt) agreed to contribute Borrower Loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $275.9 million as of the established cutoff date of August 31, 2023, to the PMIT 2023-1 securitization. On September 25, 2023, these Borrower Loans, with an updated aggregate outstanding principal balance of $266.1 million, were contributed to the PMIT 2023-1 securitization.
The notes under PMIT 2023-1 were issued in five classes: Class A in the amount of $165.5 million, Class B in the amount of $25.4 million, Class C in the amount of $25.1 million, Class D in the amount of $22.3 million and Class E in the amount of $13.1 million (collectively, the “2023-1 Notes”). The Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E notes bear interest at fixed rates of 7.06%, 7.48%, 8.29%, 11.24% and 15.49%, respectively. Principal and interest payments began in October 2023 and are payable monthly. The 2023-1 Notes are recorded at amortized cost, net of original issue discounts totaling approximately $0.8 million. These discounts, along with debt issuance costs incurred of $2.7 million, are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the contractual lives of the 2023-1 Notes using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the 2023-1 Notes was $156.7 million, secured by an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $165.4 million of borrower loans, and approximately $11.9 million in cash collections held in collateral and reserve accounts included in Restricted Cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of these notes was $217.5 million, secured by an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $232.0 million of borrower loans included in Borrower Loans, at Fair Value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and approximately $12.6 million in cash collections held in collateral and reserve accounts included in Restricted Cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
PMIT 2024-1
In March 2024, Prosper closed the PMIT 2024-1 securitization. Based on the terms of the underlying agreements, the PWIT Warehouse Line (see Note 11, Debt) agreed to contribute Borrower Loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $148.9 million as of the established cutoff date of February 14, 2024, to the PMIT 2024-1 securitization. On March 28, 2024, these Borrower Loans, with an updated aggregate outstanding principal balance of $138.0 million, were contributed to the PMIT 2024-1 securitization.
The notes under PMIT 2024-1 were issued in four classes: Class A in the amount of $105.2 million, Class B in the amount of $10.8 million, Class C in the amount of $10.3 million and Class D in the amount of $10.2 million (collectively, the “2024-1 Notes”). The Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D notes bear interest at fixed rates of 6.12%, 6.13%, 6.96%, 10.98%, respectively. The 2024-1 Notes are recorded at amortized cost, net of debt issuance costs incurred of $1.5 million. These debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the contractual lives of the 2024-1 Notes using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the 2024-1 Notes was $109.9 million, secured by an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $114.6 million of borrower loans included in “Borrower Loans, at Fair Value” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and approximately $8.9 million in cash collections held in collateral and reserve accounts included in “Restricted Cash” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
8. 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.
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value
The fair value of the Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Notes, Servicing Assets and Liabilities 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 fair value of the Credit Card Derivative is also estimated using a discounted cash flow model using certain assumptions. The key assumptions used in the valuation include default and prepayment rates derived primarily from historical performance and relevant market data, adjusted as necessary based on the perceived credit risk of the underlying portfolio. In addition, discount rates based on estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in similar credit card portfolios are applied to the individual freestanding derivatives.
The Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability is valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Refer to Note 13 for further details.

As PMI’s Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Notes, Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability, Servicing Assets and Liability, Credit Card Derivative, Credit Card servicing obligation liability 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. Prosper did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Range |
Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes: | | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Discount rate | | 5.7% - 11.1% | | 5.4% - 8.1% |
Default rate | | 3.0% - 24.3% | | 3.2% - 23.6% |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Range |
Servicing Assets: | | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Discount rate | | 15.0% - 25.0% | | 15.0% - 25.0% |
Default rate | | 2.6% - 24.5% | | 2.8% - 23.6% |

Market servicing rate (1) (2) | | 0.633% - 0.842% | | 0.633% - 0.842% |
(1) Servicing assets associated with loans enrolled in a relief program offered by the Company as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were measured using a market servicing rate assumption of 84.2 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.
(2) Excludes collection fees that would be passed on to a hypothetical third-party servicer. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the market rate for collection fees and non-sufficient fund fees was assumed to be 6 basis points and 5 basis points, respectively, for a total market servicing rate range of 69.3 - 90.2 basis points and 68.3 - 89.2 basis points, respectively.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
Change in Estimate
Effective March 31, 2024, the Company started applying a single discount rate to all of the projected cash flows that comprise the Credit Card Derivative and Credit Card servicing obligation liability, in order to better align with how PMI believes a market participant would estimate the fair value of those cash flows. This single discount rate reflects the expected market rate of return from an investment in residual cash flows derived from a credit card portfolio. Prior to March 31, 2024, separate discount rates were applied to different cash flows reflecting assumptions around counterparty credit risk. As of June 30, 2024, the value of the Credit Card Derivative is higher by $8.5 million and the value of the Credit Card servicing obligation is lower by $2.2 million, than if those balances were calculated using the old methodology. Total Net Revenue and Net Income are higher by $1.4 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as a result of this change in estimate.

11. Debt
Term Loan
Credit Agreement
On November 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a third-party financial institution, which provides for a $75 million Term Loan maturing on November 14, 2026. Proceeds received from the Term Loan were net of an original issue discount and the Company also incurred approximately $0.4 million in debt issuance costs. Both the original issue discount and the debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the Term Loan to interest expense using the effective interest method. On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) which temporarily decreases the minimum thresholds for tangible net worth and asset coverage ratio that the Company is required to maintain under the Credit Agreement, in exchange for certain fees payable in installments. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Interest
Borrowings under the Term Loan accrue interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 9.0% per annum. In addition, all borrowings under the Term Loan accrue payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest at 2.0% per annum. Any accrued PIK interest that remains unpaid at the end of each month is added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan.
Guarantees and Collateral
PMI’s obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by PHL and BillGuard. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority, perfected lien on substantially all of the assets of PMI (subject to exclusions such as certain cash amounts and deposit accounts), PHL and BillGuard, as well as equity interests in all of PMI’s subsidiaries with the exception of PGT.
Covenants and Other Matters
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, restrict PMI’s ability to incur certain new indebtedness; incur certain liens; sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets; make loans, advances, and guarantees; and pay dividends or make other distributions on equity interests.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants with which the Company must remain in compliance as of the last business day of each month during the life of the Term Loan:
•a minimum tangible net worth
•a minimum net liquidity
•a maximum leverage ratio
•a minimum asset coverage ratio
The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024, as well as applicable monthly periods for the quarter then ended. On June 26, 2024, the Company signed Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which reduced the minimum tangible net worth for the months of June through December 2024, and the minimum asset coverage ratio for the month of July 2024. In exchange for the temporary reduction in the minimum tangible net worth, the Company will pay an additional fee of $750 thousand in six equal installments from June through November 2024, and will be required to pay an additional $107 thousand in any month the tangible net worth falls below the previous minimum tangible net worth for the period of June through December 2024 (up to a total of $750 thousand).
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the Term Loan lender will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and changes of control.
Prosper Warehouse Trust Agreements
Prosper consolidated two warehouse VIEs, PWIT and PWIIT (together, the “Warehouse VIEs”), that each entered into an agreement (together, the “Warehouse Agreements”) with certain lenders for committed revolving lines of credit (“Warehouse Lines”) during 2018 and 2019, respectively. In connection with the Warehouse Agreements, the Warehouse VIEs each entered into a security agreement with a bank as administrative agent and a national banking association as collateral trustee and paying agent. Proceeds under the Warehouse Lines could only be used to purchase certain unsecured consumer loans and related rights and documents from Prosper and to pay fees and expenses related to the Warehouse Lines. Both Warehouse VIEs were consolidated because Prosper was the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The assets of the VIEs could be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs. Additionally, the creditors of the Warehouse Lines had no recourse to the general credit of Prosper. The loans held in the Warehouse VIEs were included in Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value and Warehouse Lines were in Warehouse Lines in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
PWIT Warehouse Line
On January 19, 2018, through PWIT, Prosper entered into a Warehouse Agreement for a Warehouse Line with a national banking association for a committed line of credit of $100 million. The PWIT Warehouse Agreement was subsequently amended in June 2018, June 2019, May 2021 and May 2023, the cumulative impact of which was to increase the committed line of credit to $244 million between two classes of loans with two separate lenders, adjust the interest rate and unused commitment fee, expand the eligibility criteria for unsecured consumer loans that could be financed through the PWIT Warehouse Line, reduce the advance rate and extend the term of the Warehouse Agreement.
In conjunction with the PMIT 2024-1 securitization (see Note 7, Securitizations), the entire portfolio of Loans Held for Sale in the PWIT Warehouse Line, with an unpaid principal balance of $142.5 million as of March 28, 2024, was transferred to either the PMIT 2024-1 Transaction or PFL, as follows: $138.0 million of those Borrower Loans were contributed into the securitization trust through a depositor, and the remaining $4.5 million consisted of loans ineligible for securitization and were transferred to PFL through an equity contribution. Proceeds from the sale of these loans were used to pay down the outstanding principal and interest on the PWIT Warehouse Line of $130.4 million, and the PWIT Warehouse line was terminated at that time. Remaining proceeds, net of transaction expenses, following the securitization transaction were transferred to PMI. As a result of the termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line, deferred and unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million were immediately amortized into interest expense.
Prosper maintained a swaption to limit the Company's exposure to increases in SOFR on up to $185.0 million of borrowings under the PWIT Warehouse Line. The swaption was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in “Prepaids and Other Assets.” Any changes in the fair value were recorded in the “Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The swaption was terminated on March 28, 2024 upon repayment and termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line in conjunction with the PMIT 2024-1 securitization. The change in fair value of the swaption was immaterial and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
PWIIT Warehouse Line
On March 28, 2019, through PWIIT, Prosper entered into a second Warehouse Agreement for a $300 million Warehouse Line with a national banking association different than that of PWIT. The PWIIT Warehouse Agreement was subsequently amended in May 2021, May 2023 and July 2023, the cumulative impact of which was to break the committed line of credit into two classes of loans with two separate borrowers, adjust the interest rate and extend the term of the Warehouse Agreement. In conjunction with the PMIT 2023-1 securitization (see Note 7, Securitizations), the entire portfolio of Loans Held for Sale in the PWIIT Warehouse Line was transferred to either the PMIT 2023-1 securitization or PFL. Proceeds from the sale of these loans were used to pay down the outstanding principal and interest on the PWIIT Warehouse Line, and it was terminated at that time.
12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
PMI computes its net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC Topic 260”). Under ASC Topic 260, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities.
PMI’s net income (loss) per share is calculated using the two-class method in accordance with ASC Topic 260. The two-class method allocates earnings that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders to holders of participating securities. Management considers all series of our Convertible Preferred Stock to be participating securities due to their rights to participate in dividends with Common Stock. As such, earnings allocated to these participating securities, which include participation rights in undistributed earnings, are subtracted from net income to determine total undistributed earnings to be allocated to common stockholders.
All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted-average common shares outstanding. Prior to any conversion to common shares, each series of Prosper’s Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to participate on an if-converted basis in distributions of earnings, when and if declared by the board of directors, that are made to common stockholders and consequently, these shares were considered participating securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, certain shares issued as a result of the early exercise of stock options which are subject to a repurchase right by PMI were entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period and consequently, are considered participating securities.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were calculated as follows for the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

13. Convertible Preferred Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability and Common Stock
Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
Under PMI’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, preferred stock is issuable in series, and the Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, and terms of each series.
On July 13, 2020, the Company established Prosper Grantor Trust (“PGT”), a revocable grantor trust administered by an independent trustee, with the intention of contributing assets to PGT for the benefit of PMI employees in the event of a change in control through an Eligible Employee Retention Plan. PGT was determined to be a VIE and PMI was determined to be its primary beneficiary due to the fact that the Company, through its role as the grantor, has both (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, including its funding decisions and investment strategy, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to the economic performance of the VIE by virtue of the Company’s requirement to fund PGT in the event that it is unable to meet its obligations to PMI’s employees. PMI
also maintains a contingent call liability on PGT’s assets in the event of a bankruptcy. As a result, PGT is fully consolidated into PMI’s consolidated financial statements.
On July 21, 2020, PGT entered into a Stock Transfer Agreement with a PMI investor to purchase 34,670,420 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 16,577,495 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for nominal consideration. Upon execution of the Stock Transfer Agreement, these shares were purchased by a consolidated VIE of the Company, and thus the difference between the fair value of the repurchased stock and the purchase price is included in Convertible Preferred Stock Held by Consolidated VIE on PMI’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These shares remain outstanding for legal purposes and retain their voting rights, but are excluded from the earnings per share calculation.
The number of authorized, issued and outstanding shares, their par value and liquidation preference for each series of convertible preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 are disclosed in the table below (amounts in thousands except share and par value amounts):

* Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock totals are inclusive of 34,670,420 and 16,577,495 shares, respectively, held by PGT, a consolidated VIE.
Dividends
Dividends on shares of the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, Series F and Series G convertible preferred stock are payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends will be paid with respect to the common stock until any declared dividends on the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, Series F, and Series G convertible preferred stock have been paid or set aside for payment to the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, Series F, and Series G convertible preferred stockholders. After payment of any such dividends, any additional dividends or distributions will be distributed among all holders of common stock and preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of preferred stock were converted to common stock at the then-effective conversion rate. The Series A-1 convertible preferred shares have no dividend rights. To date, no dividends have been declared on any of PMI’s preferred stock or common stock.
Conversion
Under the terms of PMI’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of preferred stock have the right to convert such preferred stock into common stock at any time. In addition, all preferred stock automatically converts into common stock (i) immediately prior to the closing of an initial public offering that values Prosper at least at $2 billion and that results in aggregate proceeds to Prosper of at least $100 million or (ii) upon a written request from the holders of at least 60% of the voting power of the outstanding preferred stock (on an as-converted basis), provided that (i) the Series A-1 convertible preferred stock shall not be converted without at least 14% of the voting power of the outstanding Series A-1 convertible preferred stock; (ii) the Series D shall not be converted without at least 60% of the voting power of the outstanding Series D; (iii) the Series E-1 and Series E-2 shall not be converted without at least 60% of the voting power of the outstanding Series E-1 and Series E-2, voting together as a single class; (iv) the Series F shall not be converted without at least 60% of the voting power of the outstanding Series F, and (v) the shares of Series G Preferred Stock will not be automatically converted unless the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock approve such conversion. In addition, if a holder of the Series A convertible preferred stock has converted any of the Series A convertible preferred stock, then all of such holder’s shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock also will be converted upon a liquidation event (as defined under the certificate of incorporation). In lieu of any fractional shares of common stock to which a holder would otherwise be entitled,
PMI shall pay such holder cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such fractional shares, as determined by its Board of Directors. At present, each of the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, and Series F convertible preferred stock converts into PMI common stock at a 1:1 ratio. The Series A-1 convertible preferred stock converts into common stock at a 1,000,000:1 ratio and the Series G convertible preferred stock converts into common stock at a 1:1.36 ratio. The Series G convertible preferred stock conversion ratio reflects the Series G true-up that occurred at end of the vesting period for the Series E-2 and Series F Preferred Stock warrants.
For the Series G true-up, the conversion price of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock was reduced to a number equal to the Series G Preferred Stock original issuance price, divided by the quotient obtained by dividing the Series G true-up amount by the total number of Series G Preferred Stock issued as of the Series G closing date. The Series G true-up amount means the aggregate number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock that would have been issued to the purchasers of the Series G Preferred Stock on the Series G closing date, if warrants to purchase shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock that were exercisable or exercised as of the true-up time (end of vesting period) had been exercisable or exercised as of such Series G closing date.
Liquidation Rights
PMI’s convertible preferred stock has been classified as temporary equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The preferred stock is not redeemable; however, in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, change in control or winding up of PMI, holders of the convertible preferred stock may have the right to receive its liquidation preference under the terms of PMI’s certificate of incorporation.
Each holder of Series E-1, Series E-2, and Series F convertible preferred stock is entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of proceeds from a liquidation event (as defined under the certificate of incorporation) to the holders of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series G and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock or common stock, an amount per share for (i) each share of Series E-1 convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share, (ii) each share of Series E-2 convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of two-thirds the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share, and (iii) each share of Series F convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of two-thirds of the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share.
After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of Series E-1, Series E-2, and Series F convertible preferred stock, each holder of Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D, Series E-2, Series F, and Series G convertible preferred stock is entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, prior to and in preference to any distribution of proceeds from a liquidation event (as defined under the certificate of incorporation) to the holders of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock or common stock, (i) an amount per share for each share of Series E-2 and Series F convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of one-third of the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share, and (ii) an amount per share for each share of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series G convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share.
After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, Series F, and Series G convertible preferred stock, the holders of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of proceeds to the holders of common stock, an amount per share for each such share of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock equal to the sum of the liquidation preference specified for such share and all declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such share.
After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E-1, Series E-2, Series F, Series G, and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, the entire remaining proceeds legally available for distribution will be distributed pro rata to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them assuming the Series A convertible preferred stock has been converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate, provided that the maximum aggregate amount per share of Series A convertible preferred stock which the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive is three times the original issue price for the Series A convertible preferred stock.
At present, the liquidation preferences are equal to $0.29 per share for the Series A convertible preferred stock, $2.00 per share for the Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, $0.60 per share for the Series B convertible preferred stock, $2.87 per share for the Series C convertible preferred stock, $6.91 per share for the Series D convertible preferred stock, $0.84 per share for the Series E-1 convertible preferred stock, $0.84 per share for the Series E-2 convertible preferred stock, $0.84 per share for the Series F convertible preferred stock and $1.34 per share for the Series G convertible preferred stock.
Voting
Each holder of shares of convertible preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of convertible preferred stock could be converted and has voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock. The holders of convertible preferred stock and the holders of common stock vote together as a single class (except with respect to certain matters that require separate votes or as required by law), and are entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of PMI.
Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
Series E-1 Warrants
In connection with the Settlement and Release Agreement dated November 17, 2016 among PMI, its wholly owned subsidiary Prosper Funding LLC (“PFL”) and Colchis, on December 16, 2016, PMI issued the First Series E-1 Warrant for 20,267,135 shares of Series E-1 convertible preferred stock. The Second Series E-1 Warrant for an additional 15,277,006 shares of Series E-1 convertible preferred stock was granted on the signing of the Consortium Purchase Agreement (as described in Note 13 of PMI’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023) on February 27, 2017. The Series E-1 warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire ten years from the date of issuance. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Prosper recognized $1.8 million of income and $5.3 million of expense, respectively, from the re-measurement of the fair value of the warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Prosper recognized $6.4 million of income and $4.6 million of expense, respectively, from the re-measurement of the fair value of the warrants. The income or expense resulted from the remeasurement of the fair value of the warrants is recorded in Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
To determine the fair value of the Series E-1 Warrants, the Company first determined the value of a share of Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. To determine the fair value of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company first derived the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of the Company using a variety of valuation methods, including discounted cash flow models and market based methods, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances applicable at the valuation date. Once the Company determined an estimated BEV, the option pricing method (“OPM”) was used to allocate the BEV to the various classes of our equity, including our preferred stock. The concluded per share value for the Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was utilized as an input to the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company determined the fair value of the outstanding Series E-1 preferred stock warrants utilizing the following assumptions as of the following dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Volatility | | 65.0 | % | | 66.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.60 | % | | 4.10 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | 2.75 | | 2.75 |
Dividend yield | | — | % | | — | % |
The above assumptions were determined as follows:
Volatility: The volatility is derived from historical volatilities of several unrelated publicly listed peer companies over a period approximately equal to the term of the warrant as the Company has limited information on the volatility of its preferred stock since there is currently no trading history. When making the selections of industry peer companies to be used in the volatility calculation, the Company considered the size, operational, and economic similarities to the Company’s principal business operations.
Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect as of June 30, 2024, and for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the term of the warrant.
Expected Term: The expected term is the period of time for which the warrants are expected to be outstanding.
Dividend Yield: The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s current expectations about the Company’s anticipated dividend policy.
Series F Warrants
In connection with the Consortium Purchase Agreement on February 27, 2017, PMI issued warrants to purchase up to 177,720,706 shares of PMI's Series F convertible preferred stock at $0.01 per share. The warrants expire ten years from the date of issuance. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Prosper recognized $8.9 million of income and $26.7 million of expense, respectively, from the re-measurement of the fair value of the warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Prosper recognized $32.0 million of income and $23.1 million of expense, respectively, from the re-measurement of the fair value of the warrants. The income or expense resulting from changes in the fair value of the warrant is recorded through Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
To determine the fair value of the Series F Warrants, the Company first determined the value of a share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. To determine the fair value of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company first derived the BEV using valuation methods, including a combination of methods, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances applicable at the valuation date. Once the Company determined an estimated BEV, the OPM was used to allocate the BEV to the various classes of Prosper's equity, including our preferred stock. The concluded per share value for the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock warrants utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company determined the fair value of the outstanding Series F Warrants utilizing the following assumptions as of the following dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Volatility | | 65.0 | % | | 66.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.60 | % | | 4.10 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | 2.75 | | 2.75 |
Dividend yield | | — | % | | — | % |
The above assumptions were determined using the same criteria described above for the Series E-1 Warrants.
The combined activity of the Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are presented in Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. Starting with the Series E and F Warrant valuations prepared as of September 30, 2023, due to a change in methodology, the Company removed the discount for lack of marketability that was previously applied to the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation. If a discount for lack of marketability was applied to the valuation as of June 30, 2024, it would reduce the Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability by approximately $34.3 million.
Common Stock
PMI, through its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, is the sole issuer of common stock and related options, RSUs and warrants. On February 16, 2016, PMI amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, effect a 5-for-1 forward stock split. On September 20, 2017, PMI further amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance. The total number of shares of stock which PMI has the authority to issue is 1,069,760,848, consisting of 625,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 444,760,848 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As described above, the Company repurchased 2,196,665 shares of Common Stock on December 23, 2019. As of June 30, 2024, 78,135,567 shares of common stock were issued and 77,199,632 shares of common stock were outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, 77,861,329 shares of common stock were issued and 76,925,394 shares of common stock were outstanding. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held.
Common Stock Issued upon Exercise of Stock Options
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, PMI issued 274,238 shares of common stock upon the exercise of vested options for cash proceeds of $10 thousand.
14. Stock-Based Compensation
PMI grants equity awards primarily through its Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which was approved as amended and restated by its stockholders on December 1, 2010; and its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by its stockholders on April 7, 2015 and subsequently amended by an Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, which were approved by PMI's stockholders effective as of February 15, 2016, May 31, 2016, and
September 5, 2018 respectively (as amended, the “2015 Plan”). In March 2015, the 2005 Plan expired, except that any awards granted under the 2005 Plan prior to its expiration remain in effect pursuant to their terms.
Stock Option Activity
Stock option activity under the 2005 Plan and 2015 Plan is summarized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Options Issued and Outstanding | | Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Balance as of January 1, 2024 | | 82,113,271 | | | $ | 0.15 | |
Options issued | | 4,363,315 | | | $ | 0.29 | |
Options exercised | | (274,238) | | | $ | 0.04 | |
Options forfeited | | (3,178,318) | | | $ | 0.40 | |
Options expired | | (25,000) | | | $ | 0.02 | |
Balance as of June 30, 2024 | | 82,999,030 | | | $ | 0.16 | |
Options vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024 | | 77,303,373 | | | $ | 0.16 | |
Options vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2024 | | 63,904,507 | | | $ | 0.10 | |
Other Information Regarding Stock Options
The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 is 5.40 years.
The fair value of options granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires PMI to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of PMI’s common stock, the expected term (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of PMI’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Given the absence of a publicly traded market, the Company considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of PMI’s common stock at each grant date. These factors included, but were not limited to: (i) contemporaneous valuations of common stock performed by unrelated third-party specialists, (ii) the prices for PMI’s preferred stock sold to outside investors, (iii) the rights, preferences and privileges of PMI’s preferred stock relative to PMI’s common stock, (iv) the lack of marketability of PMI’s common stock, (v) developments in the business, (vi) secondary transactions of PMI’s common and preferred shares, and (vii) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition of Prosper, given prevailing market conditions. As PMI’s stock is not publicly traded, volatility for stock options is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the common stock of several entities with characteristics similar to those of PMI. The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms and contractual lives of the options using the simplified method. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. PMI uses an expected dividend yield of zero as it does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
PMI also estimates forfeitures of unvested stock options. Expected forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimates, the difference will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest.
The fair value of PMI’s stock option awards granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following average assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Volatility of common stock | | 65.98 | % | | 66.59 | % | | 66.26 | % | | 66.62 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.43 | % | | 3.34 | % | | 4.20 | % | | 3.44 | % |
Expected life (in years) | | 6.0 years | | 6.1 years | | 6.0 years | | 6.1 years |
Dividend yield | | — | % | | — | % | | — | % | | — | % |
Restricted Stock Unit Activity
In previous years, PMI granted RSUs to certain employees that are subject to three-year or four-year vesting terms and the occurrence of a liquidity event.
The following table summarizes the number of PMI’s RSU activity for six months ended June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unvested at January 1, 2024 | | 2,574,633 | | | $ | 1.03 | |

Share Based Compensation
The following table presents the amount of stock-based compensation related to stock-based awards granted to employees recognized in Prosper’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Origination and servicing | | $ | 24 | | | $ | 23 | | | $ | 43 | | | $ | 45 | |

General and administrative | | 274 | | | 314 | | | 534 | | | 624 | |
Total stock-based compensation | | $ | 417 | | | $ | 404 | | | $ | 809 | | | $ | 772 | |
As of June 30, 2024, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense, adjusted for forfeiture estimates, related to unvested stock-based awards was approximately $2.7 million, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.4 years.
15. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, PMI recognized $26 thousand and $70 thousand of income tax expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024and 2023, PMI recognized and $52 thousand and $140 thousand of income tax expense, respectively. The income tax expense relates to state income tax expense and the amortization of tax deductible goodwill which gives rise to an indefinite-lived deferred tax liability. No other income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 due to a full valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize our existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, it is not more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized and therefore a full valuation allowance has been recorded.
16. Leases
Prosper has operating leases for corporate offices and a data center. These leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately five years. Some of the lease agreements include options to extend the lease term for up to an additional five years. Rental expense under operating lease arrangements was $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, Prosper subleases certain leased office space to third parties when it determines there is excess leased capacity. Sublease income from operating lease arrangements was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its Phoenix office lease, the most prominent impact of which was to extend the lease term for an additional period through October 2029. As a result of this lease modification, the Company recorded additional ROU operating lease assets and liabilities of $0.3 million.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of its operations, Prosper becomes involved in various legal actions. Prosper maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. Prosper does not believe it is probable that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material effect on Prosper's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Operating Commitments
PMI, along with PFL, and WebBank have entered into: (i) an Asset Sale Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PFL and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Seventh Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Sale Agreement”); (ii) the Marketing Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PMI and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Seventh Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Marketing Agreement”); and (iii) the Stand By Purchase Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PMI and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Fourth Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement” and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Marketing Agreement, the “Origination and Sale Agreements”). Under the Origination and Sale Agreements, all Borrower Loans originated through the marketplace are made by WebBank under its bank charter.
The Origination and Sale Agreements contain terms through February 1, 2027. Prosper is required, under the Origination and Sale Agreements, to maintain certain collateral requirements. In addition, pursuant to the Marketing
Agreement, the marketing fee that Prosper receives in connection with the origination of each loan is partially reduced by an amount (the “Designated Amount”) calculated as a percentage of the principal amount of such loan based on the aggregate principal amount of loans originated for the applicable month. To the extent the aggregate Designated Amount for all loans originated during any month is less than $100,000 through February 1, 2027, Prosper is required to pay WebBank an amount equal to such deficiency. Accordingly, the minimum fee is $0.6 million for the remaining six months of 2024, $1.2 million in 2025, $1.2 million in 2026 and $0.1 million in 2027.
Additionally, under the Origination and Sale Agreements, Prosper is required to maintain a minimum net liquidity of $15.0 million at all times during the term of the agreement. Net liquidity is defined as the sum of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Available for Sale Investments. Violation of this covenant can result in termination of the contract with WebBank. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenant.
Transaction Fee Refund Liability
The Company has accrued $4.7 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to anticipated future refunds under its Transaction Fee refund liability with WebBank.
Loan Purchase Commitments
Prosper entered into an agreement with WebBank to purchase $11.8 million of Borrower Loans that WebBank originated during the last two business days of the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Prosper will purchase these Borrower Loans within the first two business days of the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
Repurchase Obligation
Under the terms of the loan purchase agreements between Prosper and investors that participate in the Whole Loan Channel, Prosper may, in certain circumstances, become obligated to repurchase a Borrower Loan from an investor. Generally, these circumstances include the occurrence of verifiable identity theft, the failure to properly follow personal loan listing or bidding protocols or a violation of the applicable federal, state or local lending laws. Prosper recognizes a liability at fair value for the repurchase obligation when the Borrower Loans are sold. The fair value of the repurchase obligation is estimated based on historical experience. Repurchased Borrower Loans associated with violations of federal, state or local lending laws or verifiable identity theft are written off at the time of repurchase. The maximum potential amount of future payments associated with this obligation is the outstanding balances of the Borrower Loans issued to third parties through the Whole Loan Channel, which at June 30, 2024 is $3.1 billion. Prosper has accrued $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, in regard to this obligation.
Under the terms of the indenture and investor registration agreement, Prosper may, in certain circumstances, become obligated to either repurchase a Note or indemnify the investor for any losses resulting from nonpayment of a Note purchased in the Retail Channel. The decision to repurchase or indemnify is in Prosper’s sole discretion. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of verifiable identity theft, a technical error in the automated bidding tools which results in the purchase of a Note that does not match the investor’s investment criteria, or situations in which a personal loan listing includes a Prosper Rating that is different from the Prosper Rating that should have appeared in the listing for the corresponding Borrower Loan because either PFL inaccurately input data into, or inaccurately applied, the formula for determining the Prosper Rating and, as a result, the interest of the investor is materially and adversely affected. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $0.1 million of Notes under these circumstances, and has agreed to indemnify additional Notes with an unpaid principal balance of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2024.
Regulatory Contingencies
Prosper accrues for contingencies when a loss from such contingencies is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss is probable and if it is possible to quantify the amount of the estimated loss, Prosper reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If Prosper determines that an unfavorable outcome is not probable or that the amount of a loss cannot be reasonably estimated, Prosper does not accrue for a potential litigation loss. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and Prosper can estimate a range of outcomes, an amount is recorded which management considers to be the best estimate within the range of potential losses that are both probable and estimable; however, if management cannot quantify the amount of the estimated loss, then the low end of the range of the potential losses is recorded.
West Virginia Matter
In February 2020, Prosper received a proposed Assurance of Discontinuance (an “AOD”) from the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia (the “WV Attorney General”) requesting that, without in any way admitting that any of its prior practices were in violation of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act (the “Consumer Act”), Prosper agree to certain terms and conditions regarding its past and potential future conduct of its business with respect to customers in West Virginia, including a release by the WV Attorney General of any claims it may have related to the matters identified in the AOD.
We cannot predict the outcome of the matter and any potential fines or penalties, if any, that may arise from the matter. Further, we are unable to estimate a range of outcomes and as a result no accrual has been made.
No loans have been originated through the Prosper platform to West Virginians since June 2016 and the final loan originated through the Prosper platform to a borrower in West Virginia was repaid in October 2021.
18. Related Parties
Since Prosper’s inception, it has engaged in various transactions with its directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 10% of its voting securities, and immediate family members and other affiliates of its directors, executive officers, and 10% stockholders. Prosper believes that all of the transactions described below were made on terms no less favorable to Prosper than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Prosper’s executive officers, directors who are not executive officers, and certain affiliates participate in its marketplace by placing bids and purchasing Notes. The aggregate amount of the Notes purchased and the income earned by parties deemed to be affiliates and related parties of Prosper for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as the Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below (in thousands):

19. Significant Concentrations
Prosper is dependent on third-party funding sources such as banks, asset managers, investment funds and Warehouse Lines to provide the funds to allow WebBank to originate Borrower Loans that the third-party funding sources will later purchase. Of all Borrower Loans originated in the three months ended June 30, 2024, three individual third parties purchased 31.6%, 18.1%, and 11.7% of all Borrower Loans originated. There were no purchases of such loans by the Company’s VIEs
during the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, three individual third parties purchased 10.1%, 11.8% and 16.8% of all Borrower Loans originated, and the Company’s Warehouse VIEs purchased 7.7% of such loans. Of all Borrower Loans originated in the six months ended June 30, 2024, three individual third parties purchased 31.5%, 18.7% and 11.9% of all Borrower Loans originated. There were no purchases of such loans by the Company’s VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, three individual party purchased 10.6%, 10.6% and 10.3% of such loans, and the Company’s Warehouse VIEs purchased 14.0% of such loans.
Prosper receives all of its personal loan transaction fee revenue from WebBank for its services in facilitating originations of Borrower Loans issued by WebBank. The rate of the transaction fee for each individual Borrower Loan is based on the term and credit grade of the Borrower Loan and currently ranges from 1.00% to 9.99% for certain newly originated loans. No individual borrower or investor accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net revenue for any of the periods presented.
20. Segments
Starting with the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company realigned its reportable and operating segments to better reflect the nature and materiality of its product offerings. As a result of these changes, the Company now has three reportable and operating segments: Personal Loan, Home Equity and Credit Card.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment revenues, as well as segment Adjusted Net Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP profitability measures. Items outside of Adjusted EBITDA are not reported by segment, since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM. The Company’s CODM does not use segment assets to allocate resources or to assess performance of the segments and, therefore, total segment assets have not been disclosed.
The tables below present segment information reconciled to consolidated Total Net Revenue and Net Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, as well as interest income and expense included in segment Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, for the periods indicated (in thousands).

PROSPER FUNDING LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Prosper Funding LLC (“PFL”) was formed in the state of Delaware in February 2012 as a limited liability company with Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI”) as its sole equity member. Except as the context otherwise requires, as used in these Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Prosper Funding LLC, “PFL,” and the “Company” refers to Prosper Funding LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Prosper Depositor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on a consolidated basis.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and disclosure requirements for interim financial information and the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Management believes these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
PFL did not have any items of other comprehensive income or loss for any of the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The preparation of PFL's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
PFL's significant accounting policies are included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in PFL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to these accounting policies during the first six months of 2024.
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments consist principally of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, Payable to Investors and Notes. The estimated fair values of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, and Payable to Investors approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.
Refer to Note 7 for additional fair value disclosures.

Restricted Cash consists primarily of cash deposits, money market funds and short-term certificate of deposit accounts held as collateral as required for long term leases, loan funding and servicing activities, and cash that investors have on our marketplace that has not yet been invested in Borrower Loans or disbursed to the investor.
Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes
With respect to the Note Channel, PFL purchases Borrower Loans from WebBank, then issues Notes and holds the Borrower Loans until maturity. The obligation to repay a series of Notes funded through the Note Channel is dependent upon the repayment of the associated Borrower Loan. Borrower Loans and Notes funded through the Note Channel are carried on PFL’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities, respectively.
PFL places Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale on non-accrual status when they are 120 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, PFL stops accruing interest and reverses all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date. Additionally, PFL charges-off Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale when they are 120 days past due. The fair value of loans 120 days past due generally consists of the expected recovery from debt sales in subsequent periods.
Management has elected the fair value option for Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, and Notes. Changes in fair value of Borrower Loans are largely offset by the changes in fair value of Notes due to the borrower payment-dependent design of the Notes. Changes in fair value of Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes are included in “Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
PFL primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes. The key assumptions used in the valuation include default rates and prepayment rates derived primarily from historical performance and discount rates based on estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar characteristics.
Transaction Fee Refunds
Prosper assumes WebBank’s obligation under Utah law to refund the pro-rated amount of any Transaction Fees collected in excess of 5%, in the event the underlying borrower prepays the loan in full before maturity. Liabilities under this obligation are estimated upon the origination of Borrower Loans and recorded within Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities on the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheets. The key assumptions used in the estimated refund liability include prepayment rates and default rates derived primarily from historical performance. Changes in the liability are recorded within Administration Fee - Related Party on the accompanying consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, for details on the amounts recorded under this obligation.

On September 25, 2023, Prosper completed the PMIT 2023-1 transaction, a securitization of Borrower Loans originated through Prosper’s marketplace platform. PFL served as the sole sponsor for this securitization. Loans eligible for securitization that were funded through the PWIIT Warehouse Line were contributed to the PMIT 2023-1 securitization. Loans that were not eligible for securitization, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $7.7 million and a fair value of $2.0 million, were contributed to PFL, and are included in “Borrower Loans, at Fair Value” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these Borrower Loans was recorded as a deemed Contribution of Borrower Loans from Parent on the condensed consolidated statement of member’s equity and as a non-cash financing activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
On March 28, 2024, Prosper completed another securitization of Borrower Loans originated through Prosper’s marketplace platform, PMIT 2024-1. PFL served as the sole sponsor for this securitization. Loans eligible for securitization that were funded through the PWIT Warehouse Line were contributed to the PMIT 2024-1 securitization. Loans that were not eligible for securitization, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $4.5 million and a fair value of $1.6 million, were contributed to PFL, and are included in “Borrower Loans, at Fair Value” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these Borrower Loans was recorded as a deemed Contribution of Borrower Loans from Parent on the condensed consolidated statement of member’s equity and as a non-cash financing activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
5. Servicing Assets
PFL accounts for Servicing Assets at their estimated fair values with changes in fair values recorded in Servicing Fees, Net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The initial asset is recognized in Gain (Loss) on the Sale of Borrower Loans on the condensed consolidated statements of operations when PFL sells Borrower Loans to unrelated third-party buyers through the Whole Loan Channel and the servicing rights are retained. The Servicing Assets are measured at fair value throughout the servicing period. PFL recognized gains from the initial recognition of Servicing Assets on the sale of Borrower Loans in the amounts of $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.1 million and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are offset primarily by incentives provided to loan buyers at the time of sale.
As of June 30, 2024, Borrower Loans that were sold, but for which PFL retained servicing rights, had a total outstanding principal balance of $3.4 billion, original terms of 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, monthly payments with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.46% to 33.00%, and various original maturity dates through June 2029. As of December 31, 2023, Borrower Loans that were sold, but for which PFL retained servicing rights, had a total outstanding principal balance of $3.5
billion, original terms of either 24, 36, 48 or 60 months, monthly payments with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.46% to 33.00%, and various original maturity dates through December 2028.
Contractually-specified servicing fees and ancillary fees totaled $9.3 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, $18.7 million and $20.3 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and are included in Servicing Fees, Net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Valuation Method
PFL uses a discounted cash flow valuation methodology generally consisting of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of a financial instrument and then discounting those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.
Significant unobservable inputs presented in the table within Note 7 are those that PFL considers significant to the estimated fair values of the Level 3 Servicing Assets. The following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.
Market Servicing Rate
PFL estimates adequate market servicing rates that would fairly compensate a substitute servicer should one be required, which includes the profit that would be demanded in the marketplace. This rate is stated as a fixed percentage of outstanding principal balance on a per annum basis. With the assistance of a valuation specialist, PFL estimates these market servicing rates based on observable market rates for other loan types in the industry and bids from sub-servicing providers, adjusted for the unique loan attributes that are present in the specific loans that PFL sells and services and information from backup service providers.
Discount Rate
The discount rate is a rate of return used to discount future expected cash flows to arrive at a present value, which represents the fair value of the loan servicing rights. Management used a range of discount rates for the Servicing Assets based on comparable observed valuations of similar assets and publicly available disclosures related to servicing valuations, with comparability adjustments made to account for differences with PFL’s Servicing Assets.
Default Rate
The default rate presented in Note 7 is an annualized, average estimate considering all Borrower Loan categories (i.e., risk ratings and duration), and represents an aggregate of conditional default rate curves for each credit grade or Borrower Loan category. Each point on a particular Borrower Loan category’s curve represents the percentage of principal expected to default per period based on the term and age of the underlying Borrower Loans. The assumption regarding defaults directly reduces servicing revenues because the amount of servicing revenues received is based on the amount collected each period.
Prepayment Rate
The prepayment rate presented in Note 7 is an annualized, average estimate considering all Borrower Loan categories (i.e., risk ratings and duration), and represents an aggregate of conditional prepayment rate curves for each credit grade or Borrower Loan category. Each point on a particular Borrower Loan category’s curve represents the percentage of principal expected to prepay per period based on the term and age of the underlying Borrower Loans. Prepayments reduce servicing revenues as they shorten the period over which PFL expects to collect fees on the Borrower Loans, which is used to project future servicing revenues.
6. Income Taxes
PFL incurred no income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. PFL is a U.S. disregarded entity and its income and loss are included in the income tax reporting of its parent, PMI. Since PMI is in a taxable loss position, is not currently subject to income taxes, and has fully reserved against its deferred tax asset, the net effective tax rate for PFL is 0%.
7. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
PFL has elected to record certain financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. PFL 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.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
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):

As PFL’s Borrower Loans, Notes, Servicing Assets and loan trailing fee liability do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, PFL 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. PFL did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

(1) Servicing assets associated with loans enrolled in a relief program offered by the Company as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were measured using a market servicing rate assumption of 84.2 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.
(2) Excludes collection fees that would be passed on to a hypothetical third-party servicer. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the market rate for collection fees and non-sufficient fund fees was assumed to be 6 basis points and 5 basis points, respectively, for a total market servicing rate range of 69.3 - 90.2 basis points and a total market servicing rate of 68.3 - 89.2 basis points, respectively. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for Servicing Assets are presented in the following table (in thousands, except percentages).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Servicing Assets | | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |

| | | | |
Fair value resulting from: | | | | |
Market servicing rate increase of 0.025% | | $ | 13,009 | | | $ | 12,945 | |

Applying a 0.9 multiplier to default rate | | $ | 14,167 | | | $ | 14,104 | |
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.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of its operations, PFL becomes involved in various legal actions. PFL maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. The Company does not believe it is probable that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material effect on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Operating Commitments
PMI, along with PFL, and WebBank has entered into: (i) an Asset Sale Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PFL and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Seventh Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Sale Agreement”); (ii) the Marketing Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PMI and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Seventh Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Marketing Agreement”); and (iii) the Stand By Purchase Agreement, dated July 1, 2016, between PMI and WebBank, as most recently amended by a Fourth Amendment dated February 28, 2024 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement” and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Marketing Agreement, the “Origination and Sale Agreements”). Under the Origination and Sale Agreements, all Borrower Loans originated through the marketplace are made by WebBank under its bank charter.
The Origination and Sale Agreements contain terms through February 1, 2027. Prosper is required, under the Origination and Sale Agreements, to maintain certain collateral requirements. In addition, pursuant to the Marketing Agreement, the marketing fee that Prosper receives in connection with the origination of each loan is partially reduced by an amount (the “Designated Amount”) calculated as a percentage of the principal amount of such loan based on the aggregate principal amount of loans originated for the applicable month. To the extent the aggregate Designated Amount for all loans originated during any month is less than $100,000 through February 1, 2027, Prosper is required to pay WebBank an amount
equal to such deficiency. Accordingly, the minimum fee is $0.6 million for the remaining six months of 2024, $1.2 million in 2025, $1.2 million in 2026 and $0.1 million in 2027.
Additionally, under the Origination and Sale Agreements, Prosper is required to maintain a minimum net liquidity of $15.0 million at all times during the term of the agreement. Net liquidity is defined as the sum of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Available for Sale Investments. Violation of this covenant can result in termination of the contract with WebBank. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenant.
Transaction Fee Refund Liability
PFL has accrued $4.7 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to anticipated future refunds under its Transaction Fee refund liability with WebBank.
Loan Purchase Commitments
Under the terms of PFL’s agreement with WebBank, PFL is committed to purchase $11.8 million of Borrower Loans that WebBank originated during the last two business days of the quarter ended June 30, 2024. PFL will purchase these Borrower Loans within the first three business days of the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
Repurchase Obligation
Under the terms of the loan purchase agreements between PFL and investors that participate in the Whole Loan Channel, PFL may, in certain circumstances, become obligated to repurchase a Borrower Loan from an investor. Generally, these circumstances include the occurrence of verifiable identity theft, the failure to properly follow personal loan listing or bidding protocols, or a violation of the applicable federal, state, or local lending laws. The fair value of the indemnification and repurchase obligation is estimated based on historical experience. PFL recognizes a liability for the repurchase and indemnification obligation when the Borrower Loans are issued. Indemnified or repurchased Borrower Loans associated with violations of federal, state, or local lending laws or verifiable identity theft are written off at the time of repurchase or at the time an indemnification payment is made. The maximum potential amount of future payments associated under this repurchase obligation is the outstanding balances of the Borrower Loans issued through the Whole Loan Channel, which as of June 30, 2024 is $3.4 billion. PFL has accrued $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, in regard to this obligation.
Under the terms of the indenture and investor registration agreement, Prosper may, in certain circumstances, become obligated to either repurchase a Note or indemnify the investor for any losses resulting from nonpayment of a Note purchased in the Retail Channel. The decision to repurchase or indemnify is in Prosper’s sole discretion. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of verifiable identity theft, a technical error in the automated bidding tools which results in the purchase of a Note that does not match the investor’s investment criteria, or situations in which a personal loan listing includes a Prosper Rating that is different from the Prosper Rating that should have appeared in the listing for the corresponding Borrower Loan because either PFL inaccurately input data into, or inaccurately applied, the formula for determining the Prosper Rating and, as a result, the interest of the investor is materially and adversely affected. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company repurchased $0.1 million of Notes under these circumstances, and has agreed to indemnify additional Notes with an unpaid principal balance of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2024.
Regulatory Contingencies
PFL accrues for contingencies when a loss from such contingencies is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss is probable and if it is possible to quantify the amount of the estimated loss, PFL reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If PFL determines that an unfavorable outcome is not probable or that the amount of a loss cannot be reasonably estimated, PFL does not accrue for a potential litigation loss. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and PFL can estimate a range of outcomes, PFL records the amount management considers to be the best estimate within the range of potential losses that are both probable and estimable; however, if management cannot quantify the amount of the estimated loss, then PFL records the low end of the range of those potential losses.
West Virginia Matter
In February 2020, Prosper received a proposed Assurance of Discontinuance (an “AOD”) from the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia (the “WV Attorney General”) requesting that, without in any way admitting that any of its prior practices were in violation of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act (the “Consumer Act”), Prosper agree to certain terms and conditions regarding its past and potential future conduct of its business with respect to customers in West Virginia, including a release by the WV Attorney General of any claims it may have related to the matters identified in the AOD.
We cannot predict the outcome of the matter and any potential fines or penalties, if any, that may arise from the matter. Further, we are unable to estimate a range of outcomes and as a result no accrual has been made.
No loans have been originated through the Prosper platform to West Virginians since June 2016 and the final loan originated through the Prosper platform to a borrower in West Virginia was repaid in October 2021.
9. Related Parties
Since inception, PFL has engaged in various transactions with its directors, executive officers, PMI, and immediate family members and other affiliates of its directors, executive officers, and PMI. PFL believes that all of the transactions described below were made on terms no less favorable to PFL than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
PFL’s executive officers and directors who are not executive officers participate in its marketplace by placing bids and purchasing Notes. The aggregate amount of the Notes purchased and the income earned by parties deemed to be related parties of PFL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized below (in thousands):

Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Prosper’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and Prosper’s actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those included in the “Risk Factors” sections and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Prosper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
PROSPER MARKETPLACE, INC.
Overview
Our vision is to transform lives by providing affordable financial solutions through the simplest and most trusted platform. We currently offer access to three lending products, each of which supports our vision: (i) unsecured personal loans through a personal loan marketplace which connects eligible consumer borrowers with individual and institutional investors, (ii) a Credit Card product available to eligible borrowers, and (iii) Home Equity Products available to eligible homeowners.
We believe our business model has key advantages relative to traditional banks, including (i) an innovative marketplace model that efficiently connects qualified supply and demand of capital, (ii) online operations that substantially reduce the need for physical infrastructure and improve convenience, and (iii) use of advanced technology and artificial intelligence to deliver simple, fast, personalized, and transparent solutions that can improve consumers’ financial health as they move across the credit spectrum. We do not operate physical branches or incur expenses related to infrastructure like traditional banks or consumer finance institutions. As part of operating our marketplace, we verify the identity of borrowers and assess borrowers’ credit risk profile using a combination of public and proprietary data. Our proprietary technology automates several loan origination and servicing functions, including the borrower application process, data gathering, underwriting, credit scoring, loan funding, investing and servicing, regulatory compliance and fraud detection.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, our marketplace facilitated $2.2 billion in Borrower Loan originations, of which $1.9 billion were funded through our Whole Loan Channel, representing 89% of the total Borrower Loans originated through our marketplace during this period. From inception through June 30, 2024, our marketplace has facilitated $26.7 billion in Borrower Loan originations, of which $24.0 billion were funded through our Whole Loan Channel, representing 90% of the total Borrower Loans originated through our marketplace during this period. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our marketplace facilitated $512.2 million in Borrower Loan originations, a decrease of 14% from the same period in 2023. The percentage of loans funded through the Whole Loan Channel for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 91%.
As a credit marketplace, we believe our customers are highly susceptible to uncertainties and negative trends, real or perceived, in the markets driven by, among other factors, general economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These external economic conditions and resulting trends or uncertainties could adversely impact our customers’ ability or desire to participate on our marketplace as borrowers or investors and, consequently, could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

Personal Loan Originations
From inception of the Company through June 30, 2024, a total of 2,129,653 Borrower Loans, totaling $26.7 billion were originated through our marketplace.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, 35,200 Borrower Loans totaling $512.2 million were originated through Prosper’s marketplace, compared to 42,108 Borrower Loans totaling $595.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This represents a unit decrease of 16% and a dollar decrease of 14%. The originations decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 versus the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the reduced usage of our Warehouse Lines to purchase loans, as well as decreased third-party investor demand.
Personal loan origination volume by Prosper Rating was as follows for the periods presented (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) Represents personal loans funded through the Prosper platform via the Whole Loan Channel but not assigned Prosper Ratings.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, the total and mix of personal loan originations on the Prosper platform reflects increased demand for personal loans not assigned Prosper ratings, which are sold only to institutional investors and are based on specific underwriting criteria and custom risk models developed by those investors.
Personal Loan Serviced Portfolio and Whole Loans Outstanding
Our personal loan serviced portfolio consists of all Borrower Loans that we service both through the Note and Whole Loan Channels. Borrower Loans funded through the Whole Loan Channels include loans that we hold in consolidated trusts, as well as those sold to third parties. Our personal loan serviced portfolio decreased $0.3 billion, or 8%, from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to decreased year-over-year originations for the past several quarters, as well as a reduction in personal loans purchased through our consolidated warehouse trusts.
The outstanding balance of Borrower Loans sold through our Whole Loan Channel serves as a primary driver of our Servicing Assets. Whole loans outstanding decreased $0.3 billion, or 8%, from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 due to the same factors that drove the decrease in the personal loan serviced portfolio.
Net Income (Loss)
See the section titled “Results of Operations” below, for the discussion on significant changes in Net Income (Loss) year-over-year.

n/m: not meaningful
Total Net Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.4 million as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to the Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, which increased $6.5 million year-over-year, primarily as a result of additional incentives provided to whole loan investors (“incentives”) during that time. Additionally, there was a $3.3 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net, due in part to a decrease in the average outstanding principal balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts, combined with the impact from increased debt discount and issuance cost amortization from the establishment of the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitization trusts in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively. Finally, total Net Revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Net, decreased $1.1 million year-over-year, due primarily to increased charge-offs within our Credit Card portfolio, partially offset by an increase in fair values on our consolidated warehouse and securitization loans due to lower interest rates and reduced delinquencies and charge-offs. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, due to a revised WebBank transaction fee schedule starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, with some offsetting impact from the lower personal loan origination volume during this time, as discussed above.
Total Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $53.6 million as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants, which is in turn driven by changes in
the fair value of the underlying Convertible Preferred Stock. Specifically, the gain for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totals $10.7 million, which compares to a loss of $32.0 million for the corresponding period in 2023, a change of $42.7 million. Additionally, there was a combined $10.9 million decrease in Origination and Servicing, Sales and Marketing expenses and General and Administrative expenses, as costs decreased in response to lower personal loan originations. Accordingly, the net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $52.3 million when compared to the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Total Net Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $1.8 million as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was largely attributable to an $18.8 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, due to a revised WebBank transaction fee schedule starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, with some offsetting impact from the lower personal loan origination volume during this time, as shown above. Additionally, total Net Revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Net increased $4.8 million year-over-year, due primarily to more favorable fair value adjustments resulting from lower interest rates, partially offset by increased charge-offs within our Credit Card portfolio. Finally, there was a $1.5 million increase in Servicing Fees, Net, due primarily to changes in the fair value of the credit card servicing obligation, due to a change in estimate applied in the first quarter of 2024 related to the discount rate applied to the cash flows associated with that obligation, partially offset by an increase in collection agency costs. These increases were partially offset by a $15.6 million decrease from Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, due primarily to additional incentives provided to whole loan investors during this time. There was also a $7.9 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net, due in part to a decrease in the average outstanding principal balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts, combined with the impact from increased debt discount and issuance cost amortization from the establishment of the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitization trusts in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively.
Total Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $81.8 million as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants, which is in turn driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying Convertible Preferred Stock. Specifically, the gain for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totals $38.4 million, which compares to a loss of $27.7 million for the corresponding period in 2023, a change of $66.1 million. Additionally, there was a combined $15.4 million decrease in Origination and Servicing, Sales and Marketing expenses and General and Administrative expenses, as costs decreased in response to lower personal loan originations. Accordingly, the net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $83.7 million when compared to the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Transaction Fees, Net
We earn a transaction fee upon the successful origination of all Borrower Loans facilitated through our marketplace. Prosper receives payments from WebBank as compensation for the activities we perform on behalf of WebBank. Our fee is determined by the term and credit grade of the Borrower Loans that we facilitate on our marketplace and WebBank originates. We record the transaction fee revenue net of any fees paid by us to WebBank.
We also earn various program fees from our Credit Card product, such as interchange fees, annual fees and late fees, and broker fees from our Home Equity product. These program and broker fees are recorded within Transaction Fees, Net.
Transaction Fees, Net increased $9.1 million, or 29%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This increase is generally due to revisions to the WebBank transaction fee schedule starting in October 2023, and further modified in June 2024. Under the revised WebBank transaction fee schedule, transaction fees now range from 1.0% to 9.99%, depending on the term and credit grade of the Borrower Loan, as compared to 1.0% to 5.0% under the previous schedule prior to October 2023. Transaction fees above 5.0% are refundable on a pro-rated basis upon the full prepayment of the related Borrower Loan prior to maturity under Utah law, where WebBank is domiciled, and thus the impact of these increased transaction fees is reduced by expected refunds. The impact from this change in the transaction fee schedule was partially offset by the lower personal loan origination volume during the second quarter of 2024, compared to the corresponding period of 2023, as discussed above. There was also a positive impact from continued growth in our Credit Card product, as we recognized approximately $5.5 million in program fees under our Credit Card product for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $4.2 million for the corresponding period of 2023, an increase of $1.3 million.
Transaction Fees, Net increased $18.8 million, or 29%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This increase is generally due to the revised WebBank transaction fee schedule described above, partially offset by the estimated refund liability. The impact from this change in the transaction fee schedule was partially offset by the lower personal loan origination volume during the first half of 2024, compared to the corresponding period of 2023, as discussed above. There was also a positive impact from continued growth in our Credit Card product, as we recognized approximately $11.3 million in program fees under our Credit Card product for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $7.6 million for the corresponding period of 2023, an increase of $3.7 million.
Servicing Fees, Net
Investors who purchase Borrower Loans through the Whole Loan Channel typically pay us a servicing fee which is generally set at 1.0% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Borrower Loan prior to applying the current payment, plus an additional 0.075% per annum to cover the Loan Trailing Fee. The Servicing Fee compensates us for the costs incurred in servicing the Borrower Loan, including managing payments from borrowers, payments to investors and maintaining investors’ account portfolios. We record Servicing Fees from investors as a component of operating revenues when received. We also include any collection fees received, net of collection agency expenses, in Servicing Fees.
In addition, we are contractually obligated to service the entire portfolio under our Credit Card product. Our banking partner, Coastal Community Bank (“Coastal”), pays us a servicing fee of 1.0% per annum of the daily outstanding principal balance of all cards designated as Coastal allocations. These allocations represented approximately 10% of the portfolio through March 31, 2024, but were reduced to 5% starting April 1, 2024 as a result of an amendment to the Program Agreement executed in March 2024. To the extent these contractual fees are less than the market servicing rate that would be required by a market participant to service the entire portfolio, a servicing obligation is recorded. Changes to this servicing obligation are included in Servicing Fees, Net.
The increase of $0.3 million, or 7%, in Servicing Fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to a $0.3 million increase from changes in the fair value of the credit card servicing obligation. That credit card servicing obligation will generally increase in line with the underlying Credit Card portfolio, and the percentage growth in that portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was lower relative to the same period in 2023.
The increase of $1.5 million, or 17%, in Servicing Fees for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 is primarily due to a $2.1 million increase from changes in the fair value of the credit card servicing obligation. As discussed in Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, a change in estimate related to the application of a revised discount rate to this servicing obligation resulted in a decrease in the related liability of approximately $2.2 million as of June 30, 2024, thus increasing Servicing Fees by the same amount for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in collection agency costs, net of collection fees income, as we increased our usage of these agencies in the first half of 2024. Finally, there was a $0.3 million decrease in whole loan servicing revenues during this period, due to the decrease in the balance of whole loans outstanding.
Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans
Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans consists of incentives provided at the time Borrower Loans are sold through the Whole Loan Channel, net of any gains recognized on those sales, primarily due to the recognition of additional Servicing Assets. Since 2022, due to market volatility and incentives offered by competitors, we started providing additional incentives to our whole loan investors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these incentives increased $6.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively, from the corresponding periods in the prior year. Excluding the impact of these incentives, the remaining changes in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023, were an increased gain of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in the adequate compensation assumption used to value the Servicing Assets from 64.8 bps to 63.3 bps, starting in the third quarter of 2023.
Other Revenues
Other Revenues consists primarily of credit referral and incentive fees. Credit referral fees are earned from partner companies for the referral of customers on our platform, while incentive fees are earned from partner companies through our incentive programs. Other Revenues remained generally flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.
Interest Income on Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale and Interest Expense on Financial Instruments
We recognize Interest Income on Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale using the accrual method based on the stated interest rate to the extent we believe it to be collectible. We record interest expense on the corresponding fractional Notes, at Fair Value, Notes Issued by Securitization Trust and Warehouse Lines based on the contractual interest rates. The interest rate on fractional Notes, at Fair Value is generally 1% lower than the interest rate on the corresponding Borrower Loans to compensate us for servicing the underlying Borrower Loans.
The decrease of $3.3 million, or 47%, in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to a combined $2.5 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net generated from Loans Held for Sale, net of interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Lines, and securitized Borrower Loans, net of interest expense incurred on Notes Issued by Securitization Trust, during this period. This decrease is reflective of the reduced average outstanding balance of loans held in these consolidated trusts year-over-year, as well as the related decrease in the associated liabilities. Additionally, we incurred $0.9 million in securitization setup cost amortization related to the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitizations established in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively.
The decrease of $7.9 million, or 54%, in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to a combined $6.0 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net generated from Loans Held for Sale, net of interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Lines, and securitized
Borrower Loans, net of interest expense incurred on Notes Issued by Securitization Trust, during this period. This decrease is reflective of the reduced average outstanding balance of loans held in these consolidated trusts year-over-year, as well as the related decrease in the associated liabilities. Additionally, we incurred $0.7 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs upon the termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line in March 2024, and $1.5 million in securitization setup cost amortization related to the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitizations established in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We record Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale, Notes and the Credit Card Derivative at fair value. Changes in the fair value of Borrower Loans funded through the Note Channel are largely offset by the changes in fair value of the Notes due to their borrower payment-dependent structure. Our obligation to pay principal and interest on Notes is equal to the loan payments, if any, that are received on the corresponding Borrower Loan, net of the servicing fee, which is generally 1.0% of the outstanding balance.
We used Warehouse Lines to finance the purchase of Loans Held for Sale for the purpose of earning Net Interest Income and contributing to securitization transactions. Loans Held for Sale consisted primarily of loans held in warehouse trusts. Changes in the fair value of Loans Held for Sale were not offset by changes in the fair value of Warehouse Lines because Warehouse Lines were carried at amortized cost. As discussed below and in Note 11 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we terminated our two existing Warehouse Lines in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively, and securitized the related Loans Held for Sale. Because of this, these loans are now classified as Borrower Loans on our consolidated balance sheet.
In September 2023 and March 2024, we sponsored and consolidated two securitization transactions, PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1, respectively, with loans that were previously funded through our PWIIT and PWIT Warehouse Lines, respectively. Refer also to Note 7, Securitization, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these securitization transactions. We expect that changes in the fair value of Borrower Loans held by PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 will be negative due to delinquencies and charge-offs, but they could ultimately be negative or positive due to changes in fair value assumptions, such as expected credit performance, prepayment rates and implied market discount rates. Additionally, the impact from fair value adjustments on these securitized Borrower Loans may lessen as they season and the outstanding principal balances decrease. Notes issued by PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 are carried at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, and thus do not impact the Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
We earn interest income on loans held in securitization trusts during the period we own or consolidate the loans, which partially offsets changes in the fair value of these loans. The following tables illustrate the weighted-average composition of the loans held in consolidated securitization trusts by Prosper Rating for the periods presented, which is an indicator of their credit quality:

(2) The percentages are calculated using the weighted-average of month-end principal balances of Borrower Loans by Prosper Rating. |
Fair values of Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes are estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies based upon a set of valuation assumptions. The key assumptions used include default and prepayment rates derived primarily from historical performance, and discount rates based on estimates of the rates of return that market investors would require when investing in other financial instruments with similar characteristics.
The Credit Card Derivative is recorded at fair value and is primarily reflective of discounted future cash flows from certain features of our Credit Card program that were determined to meet the definition of freestanding derivatives, including interest income, program fees paid to our banking partner Coastal and credit losses, net of recoveries. These cash flows are estimated based upon a set of valuation assumptions, including default and prepayment rates derived primarily from comparable companies and our own historical performance, and discount rates based on estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in other financial instruments with similar characteristics.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments was a loss of $11.9 million and a loss of $10.8 million, respectively. The increase in the loss for this period was largely driven by the Credit Card Derivative, due primarily to higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs. Fair value changes related to future cash flows underlying the Credit Card Derivative resulted in a loss of $2.2 million, and the net impact of realized transactions resulted in a loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This compares to the corresponding period in the prior year, when fair value changes related to projected future cash flows underlying the Credit Card Derivative resulted in a gain of $2.7 million, and the net impact of realized transactions resulted in a gain of $0.5 million.
These increased losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were partially offset by the impact from securitized Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale, due to lower delinquencies and charge-offs, combined with the overall decrease in the average balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts year-over-year, as these loans continue to season. For securitized Borrower Loans, the loss from changes in fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $7.0 million, due to a $0.4 million loss from fair value adjustments and $6.6 million in net charge-offs. This compares to the Loans Held for Sale in the corresponding period in 2023, when there was a loss from changes in fair value of $14.1 million, due to a $6.3 million loss from fair value adjustments and $7.8 million in net charge-offs.
The net impact to the Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments for fractional Borrower Loans and Notes (as well as the population of whole loans that are owned directly by PFL) was a $0.1 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to the borrower payment-dependent structure described above, offset by certain timing factors. During the same period of 2023, the net impact from these fractional Borrower Loans and Notes was a $0.2 million gain.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Change in Fair Value of Financial Instrument was a loss of $11.7 million and a loss of $16.6 million, respectively. The decrease in the loss for this period was largely driven by Loans Held for Sale and securitized Borrower Loans, due to lower delinquencies and charge-offs, combined with the overall decrease in the average balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts year-over-year, as these loans continue to season. For Loans Held for Sale, the loss from changes in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.3 million, due to a $1.5 million gain from fair value adjustments and $3.8 million in net charge-offs. For securitized Borrower Loans, the loss from changes in value during this period was $10.3 million, due to a $2.6 million gain from fair value adjustments and $12.9 million in net charge-offs. This compares to Loans Held for Sale in the corresponding period in 2023, when there was a loss from changes in fair value of $23.6 million, due to a $10.1 million loss from fair value adjustments and $13.5 million in net charge-offs.
We also held a swaption to limit our exposure to fluctuations in SOFR due to our PWIT Warehouse Line, which consisted of two classes of loans that bore interest at SOFR plus a defined spread (see Note 11 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information). This swaption was terminated on March 28, 2024, upon the repayment of our PWIT Warehouse Line in conjunction with the PMIT 2024-1 securitization. The change in fair value of the swaption was immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and a loss of $0.5 million for the corresponding period in 2023, resulting in a $0.6 million increase in revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments during this time. The overall decrease in the value of the swaption year-over-year, prior to its termination, is largely driven by an increase in the strike price of the swaption in 2023.
Fair value changes related to future cash flows underlying the Credit Card Derivative resulted in a gain of $6.9 million, and the net impact of realized transactions resulted in a loss of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This compares to the corresponding period in the prior year, when fair value changes related to projected future cash flows underlying the Credit Card Derivative resulted in a gain of $8.8 million, and the net impact of realized transactions resulted in a loss of $1.0 million. This decrease in net gains recognized on changes in the fair value of the Credit Card Derivative is primarily reflective of higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs, partially offset by the impact of the change in estimate discussed in Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Specifically, that change in estimate related to the application of a single discount rate to all components of the Credit Card Derivative starting in 2024 and resulted in a fair value increase of approximately $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
For fractional Borrower Loans and Notes (as well as the population of whole loans that are owned directly by PFL), the net impact to the Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments was a $0.5 million loss for the six months ended June 30,
2024, due to the borrower payment-dependent structure described above, offset by certain timing factors. During the same period of 2023, the net impact from these fractional Borrower Loans and Notes was a $0.2 million loss.

Origination and Servicing
Origination and Servicing costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our capital markets, collections, customer support and payment processing employees and vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing personal loans and our Credit Card product. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.3 million, or 11%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 is primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in personal loan servicing and origination costs, both internal and outsourced, consistent with the decrease in personal loan originations discussed above. Additionally, compensation costs decreased $1.1 million, driven primarily by decreased headcount and the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year, which will not be paid. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in third-party servicing costs associated with our Credit Card product, as the underlying portfolio continues to grow.
The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.7 million, or 7%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 is primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in personal loan servicing and origination costs, both internal and outsourced, consistent with the decrease in personal loan originations discussed above. Additionally, compensation costs decreased $1.7 million, driven primarily by decreased headcount and the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in third-party servicing costs associated with our Credit Card product, as the underlying portfolio continues to grow, and a $0.2 million increase in depreciation due to the increase in the balance of internal-use software during this time.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and Marketing costs consist primarily of affiliate marketing, search engine marketing, online and offline campaigns, email marketing, public relations and direct mail marketing, as well as compensation expenses such as wages, benefits and stock-based compensation for the employees who support these activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease of $1.9 million, or 14%, from the corresponding period in the prior year is due to an overall reduction in marketing and advertising costs, which is generally in line with the decrease in personal loan originations during this time. This includes decreases in marketing partnership costs of $0.5 million and a combined decrease of $0.9 million across digital and email advertising spend. Additionally, compensation expense decreased $0.3 million, driven primarily by the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease of $3.3 million, or 11%, from the corresponding period in the prior year is due to an overall reduction in marketing and advertising costs, which is generally in line with the decrease in personal loan originations during this time. This includes decreases in marketing partnership costs of $1.7 million and a combined decrease of $2.2 million across digital and email advertising spend. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in direct mail costs. Additionally, compensation expense decreased $0.2 million, driven primarily by the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year.
General and Administrative - Research and Development
General and Administrative - Research and Development costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our engineering and product development employees, as well as related vendor costs. The decrease in General and Administrative – Research and Development for the three months ended June 30, 2024, of $3.3 million from the corresponding period in the prior year is primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in compensation costs, driven by decreased headcount and the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year, and a $1.1 million decrease in costs related to outsourced services. Finally, there was an increase of $0.2 million from capitalized internal-use software and web development costs (reducing the expense). Specifically, these capitalized costs were $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The decrease in General and Administrative – Research and Development for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of $4.5 million from the corresponding period in the prior year is primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in compensation costs, driven by decreased headcount and the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year, and a $2.0 million decrease in costs related to outsourced services. Finally, there was an increase of $0.6 million from capitalized internal-use software and web development costs (reducing the expense). Specifically, these capitalized costs were $7.3 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
General and Administrative - Other
General and Administrative - Other expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our accounting, finance, risk, legal, compliance, human resources and facilities employees, professional fees related to legal and accounting and facilities expenses. The decrease in General and Administrative - Other for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $4.4 million from the corresponding period in the prior year is due primarily to a $4.3 million decrease in compensation expense, driven primarily by the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year.
The decrease in General and Administrative - Other for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $5.9 million from the corresponding period in the prior year is due primarily to a $5.6 million decrease in compensation expense, driven primarily by the elimination of the corporate bonus accrual for the 2023 calendar year. Additionally, various professional services costs, including accounting, tax and legal, contributed to a $0.3 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.
Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants
Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants was a gain of $10.7 million and a gain of $38.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, due to a decrease in the fair value of the underlying Convertible Preferred Stock for those periods. Changes in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants was a loss of $32.0 million and a loss of $27.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to an increase in fair value of the underlying Convertible Preferred Stock for those periods.
Interest Expense on Term Loan
We incurred interest costs of $3.3 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $2.9 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to our Term Loan. Refer to Note 11 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Term Loan, including details of the interest rates. Interest costs related to the Term Loan should generally continue to increase each period as the amount of unpaid payment-in-kind interest accrues, though it will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
We allocated $0.2 million in Term Loan interest costs to Net Interest Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as the related Term Loan proceeds were used to purchase Loans Held for Sale through our Warehouse Lines. No such amount was allocated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Other Income, Net
Other Income, Net was $0.9 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and primarily consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents, sublease income and other miscellaneous items. The $0.5 million and $1.0 million increases in Other Income, Net, for the three months and six ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year are primarily attributable to increases in interest income driven by rising average interest rates.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Revenue
Adjusted Net Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as our Total Net Revenue adjusted to exclude the impact of interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts and certain infrequent or unusual transactions such as the accelerated amortization of PWIT debt issuance costs. As a result of the termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line in March 2024 (see Note 11, Debt), we accelerated the remaining amortization of the related deferred debt issuance costs into interest expense. We exclude the impact of this accelerated amortization because it is non-cash and because of the infrequent nature of the transaction. Management does not believe that it is reflective of our ongoing operating results. We believe it is useful to investors to exclude the impact of interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts to gain insight into the performance of our consolidated loans, independent of market factors that are beyond management’s control.
Adjusted Net Revenue has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for Total Net Revenue, which has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:
•Adjusted Net Revenue excludes the impact of interest rates, which may influence the price that a willing buyer would be willing to pay for our personal loans in a hypothetical arm’s length transaction; and
•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted Net Revenue differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted Net Revenue alongside other financial performance measures, including Total Net Revenue and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Total Net Revenue to Adjusted Net Revenue for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Net Income (Loss) adjusted for interest income on Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest Expense on Term Loan, Income Tax Benefit or Expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and Goodwill, stock-based compensation expense, Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants, and certain infrequent or unusual transactions. Starting with the second quarter of 2023, it is also adjusted for the impact of interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts. Prior periods have been updated to match current period presentation. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a helpful indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, to evaluate our operations and financial performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide investors insight into the manner in which management views the performance of the Company, enhance investors’ evaluation of our operating results, and to facilitate meaningful comparisons of our results between periods. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the GAAP financial information provided herein.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based charges;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest and tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The major non-GAAP adjustments, and our basis for excluding them, are outlined below:
•Changes in the fair value of convertible preferred stock warrants liability: We exclude these fair value changes primarily because they are non-cash items and the fair value varies based on the fair value of the underlying preferred stock, varying valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions. Their inclusion makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to evaluate.
•Stock-based compensation expense: This consists of expenses for equity awards under our equity incentive plans. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to our employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to evaluate; therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation. We also excluded these expenses because they are non-cash.
•Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill: We incur amortization or impairment of acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill in connection with acquisitions and therefore exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP measures. We exclude these items because management does not believe they are reflective of our ongoing operating results.
•Impairment of long-lived assets: We incur losses on the impairment of long-lived assets that are disposed in connection with the exit of facilities. We exclude these items because management does not believe they are reflective of our ongoing operating results.
•Impact of interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts: See discussion on Adjusted Net Revenue, above.
•Accelerated amortization of PWIT debt issuance costs: See discussion on Adjusted Net Revenue, above.
•Interest expense on Term Loan: We incur interest expense on the Term Loan we closed in November 2022, which is more fully described in Note 11 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Proceeds from the Term Loan are used to fund the operations of the business at our discretion, within certain limitations. This may include, but is not limited to, making investments in our Credit Card product, investing in loans held in our warehouse facilities or meeting operational obligations. We exclude the Term Loan interest expense not associated with proceeds used to invest in loans held in our warehouse facilities from Adjusted EBITDA, as it is based on the overall financing structure of PMI. This differs from Interest Expense on Financial Instruments (part of Total Net Revenues), as the proceeds from those instruments are used exclusively for the purposes of purchasing loans on our marketplace.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, is primarily reflective of increased transaction fees driven by the revised WebBank transaction
fee schedule, as well as a reduction in expenses in response to decreased personal loan originations and the elimination of the 2023 corporate bonus accrual. Additionally, the change in estimate related to the valuation of the Credit Card Derivative and servicing obligation discussed in Note 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contributed approximately $1.4 million and $10.7 million to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the impact of decreased personal loan originations, and increased incentives provided to whole loan investors, as described above.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is our primary segment profitability metric, and is calculated as segment revenue less operating expenses that are directly attributable to the segments’ products. Segment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as segment revenue less the impact of changes in interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts and certain unusual or infrequent transactions. For the periods presented above, these adjustments only impact the Personal Loan segment.
Personal Loan
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Personal Loan segment net revenues increased $5.1 million, or 20%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily as a result of (a) a $7.8 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, due to the revised WebBank transaction fee schedule starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, with some offsetting impact from the lower personal loan origination volume during this time; and (b) a $7.1 million increase in net revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments related to Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale, as described above. These increases were partially offset by (c) a $6.5 million decrease from Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, due primarily to an increase in incentives provided to our whole loan investors during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the corresponding period in 2023; and (d) a $3.3 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net, due in part to a decrease in the average outstanding principal balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts, combined with the impact from increased debt discount and debt issuance cost amortization from the PMIT 2023-1 and PMIT 2024-1 securitizations established in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Personal Loan segment net revenues increased $2.6 million, or 4%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily as a result of (a) a $15.1 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, due to the revised WebBank transaction fee schedule starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, with some offsetting impact from the lower personal loan origination volume during this time; and (b) a $11.3 million increase in net revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments related to Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale, as described above. These increases were partially offset by (c) a $15.6 million decrease from Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, due primarily to an increase in incentives provided to our whole loan investors during the first half of 2024 as compared to the corresponding period in 2023; (d) a $7.9 million decrease in Total Interest Income (Expense), Net, due in part to a decrease in the average outstanding principal balance of loans held in consolidated warehouse and securitization trusts, combined with the impact from increased debt discount and debt issuance cost amortization from the termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line in March 2024 and the PMIT 2023-1 and 2024-1 securitizations established in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively; and (e) a $0.3 million decrease in Servicing Fees, Net, due to the decrease in whole loans outstanding during this period, as discussed above.
Segment Adjusted Net Revenue associated with the Personal Loan segment decreased $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. This is reflective of the same factors that drove the increase in net revenues discussed above, excluding the impact of interest rates on the fair value of loans held in consolidated trusts. Due to the volatile interest rate environment in the first half of 2023, there was a greater interest rate impact on the fair value of the loans during that period. Additionally, the Personal Loan Segment Adjusted Net Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 excludes the accelerated recognition of debt issuance costs upon the termination of the PWIT Warehouse Line in March 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA associated with the Personal Loan segment increased $9.4 million and $13.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. This is primarily reflective of a reduction in expenses year-over-year, including personnel, outsourced services and marketing costs, to address the decrease in personal loan originations during this time, partially offset by the factors that drove the decrease in segment Adjusted Net Revenue discussed above.
Home Equity
Home Equity segment net revenues and segment Adjusted Net Revenue remained flat year-over-year. Home Equity segment net revenues consist of broker fees from our lending partners, and Adjusted EBITDA is reflective of these net revenues, offset by operating expenses. Home Equity segment operating expenses decreased $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023, as we reduced resources dedicated to the Home Equity segment.
Credit Card
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Credit Card segment net revenues and Segment Adjusted Net Revenues decreased $6.5 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily as a result of a $8.2 million decrease in Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments from our Credit Card Derivative. This includes a $4.8 million decrease from fair value adjustments, and a $3.4 million decrease in revenue from realized transactions, both of which are primarily related to higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs within the portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by (a) a $1.3 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, generally due to the overall growth in our Credit Card portfolio during this time; and (b) a $0.2 million increase in Servicing Fees, Net, driven by a smaller increase in our servicing obligation, which offsets revenue.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Credit Card segment net revenues and Segment Adjusted Net Revenues decreased $0.9 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily as a result of a $6.5 million decrease in Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments from our Credit Card Derivative. This includes a $1.9 million decrease from fair value adjustments, and a $4.6 million decrease in revenue from realized transactions, both of which are primarily related to higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs within the portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by (a) a $3.7 million increase in Transaction Fees, Net, generally due to the overall growth in our Credit Card portfolio during this time; and (b) a $1.8 million increase in Servicing Fees, Net, driven by a smaller increase in our servicing obligation, which offsets revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA associated with the Credit Card segment decreased $6.3 million and 2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, which is reflective of the decreases in net revenues and Segment Adjusted Net Revenues for these periods discussed above, as well as the impact of costs incurred as part of our continued investments in the Credit Card product’s growth. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Credit Card segment net revenues, Segment Adjusted Net Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are reflective of the positive impact of approximately $1.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively, from the change in estimate discussed in Note 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have incurred operating losses in prior periods and may continue to incur net losses in the future. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses of $0.5 million and $52.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized net income of $21.8 million and incurred a net loss of $61.9 million, respectively. Additionally, from our inception through June 30, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $568.3 million.
We believe our liquidity needs for the next twelve months, and for the foreseeable future beyond that period, can be met through transaction fees, servicing fees, net interest income, other revenue, proceeds from sales of loans, realized gains on the Credit Card Derivative and Cash and Cash Equivalents. For further details related to our Term Loan, see Note 11 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In the second quarter of 2024, we decided to eliminate the
corporate bonus and long-term incentive plan accrual for the 2023 calendar year, resulting in approximate cost savings of $6.0 million. Management monitors our financial results and operations. If the anticipated financial results are not achieved or we fail to maintain compliance with the debt covenants under our Term Loan, our sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to meet our operating and liquidity requirements without obtaining additional liquidity which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying the statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences between the financial reporting and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Based on the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
We report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. We are required to make subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As a result of retaining servicing rights on the sale of Borrower Loans, we are an interest holder in certain special purpose entities that purchase these Borrower Loans. None of these special purpose entities are consolidated as we are not the primary beneficiary. Other than these special purpose entities, as of June 30, 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain of Prosper's accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in Prosper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to our critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2024, other than the following identified areas.
Valuation of Credit Card Derivative and Servicing Obligation
Effective March 31, 2024, we applied a single discount rate to all of the projected cash flows that comprise the Credit Card Derivative and Credit Card servicing obligation liability, in order to better align with how we believe a market participant would estimate the fair value of those cash flows. This single discount rate reflects the expected market rate of return from an investment in residual cash flows derived from a credit card portfolio. Previously, separate discount rates were applied to different cash flows reflecting assumptions around counterparty credit risk. As of June 30, 2024, the value of our Credit Card Derivative is higher by $8.5 million and the value of our Credit Card servicing obligation is lower by $2.2 million, than if those balances were calculated using the old methodology. Our Total Net Revenue and Net Income are higher by $1.4 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as a result of this change in estimate.
Estimate of Transaction Fee Refund Liability
As discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the attached condensed consolidated financial statements, we assume WebBank’s obligation under Utah law to refund the pro-rated amount of any transaction fees collected in excess of 5%, in the event the underlying borrower prepays the loan in full before maturity. Following revisions to the pricing schedule with WebBank in October 2023 and again in June 2024, we now charge transaction fees up to 9.99% for certain newly originated Borrower Loans, and accrue for future anticipated refunds at the time of origination. The key assumptions used in the estimate of this refund liability include default and prepayment rates derived primarily from relevant market data and historical performance, both of which require management judgment. The estimate is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.
PROSPER FUNDING LLC
Overview
Prosper Funding LLC was formed in the state of Delaware in February 2012 as a limited liability company with PMI as its sole equity member. Prosper Funding was formed by PMI to hold Borrower Loans originated through the Note Channel and issue related Notes. Although Prosper Funding is consolidated with PMI for accounting and tax purposes, Prosper Funding has been organized and is operated in a manner that is intended to minimize the likelihood that it would be substantively consolidated with PMI in a bankruptcy proceeding. Prosper Funding’s intention is to minimize the likelihood that its assets would be subject to claims by PMI’s creditors if PMI were to file for bankruptcy, as well as to minimize the likelihood that Prosper Funding will become subject to bankruptcy proceedings directly. Prosper Funding seeks to achieve this by placing certain restrictions on its activities and by implementing certain formal procedures designed to expressly reinforce its status as a distinct corporate entity from PMI.
As a credit marketplace, we believe our customers are more highly susceptible to uncertainties and negative trends, real or perceived, in the markets driven by, among other factors, general economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These external economic conditions and resulting trends or uncertainties could adversely impact our customers’ ability or desire to participate in our marketplace as borrowers or investors, and consequently could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

Total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.2 million, or 7%, from the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, mainly as a result of additional incentives provided to whole loan investors (“incentives”), combined with the impact from the decrease in the volume of whole loans sold due to lower personal loan originations. Because of the lower servicing book there was a resulting decrease in Servicing Fees, Net. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in administration fee revenue driven by an increase in reimbursements received from PMI for the incentives provided to whole loan investors, which was partially offset by a decrease in loan listings generated on the marketplace.
Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.5 million, or 3%, from the three months ended June 30, 2023, largely due to a $0.4 million decrease in Servicing and Other expenses, reflective of (a) an increase in interest income (a contra expense item) due to higher levels of investor cash on our platform and an increase in average interest rates, as well as (b) decreased servicing costs in response to lower personal loan originations during this time. Administration Fee - Related Party expense decreased $0.1 million due to a decrease in administration fees resulting from fewer loans funded during the period, partially offset by an increase in estimated transaction fee refunds following revisions to our pricing schedule with WebBank in October 2023 and June 2024.
Total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $3.6 million, or 11%, from the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans, mainly as a result of additional incentives provided to whole loan investors, combined with the impact from the decrease in the volume of whole loans sold due to lower personal loan originations. Because of the lower servicing book there was a resulting decrease in Servicing Fees, Net. Finally, the decrease in net revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Net for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to corresponding period of 2023, is primarily reflective of the timing of the issuance of Borrower Loans and collections on Notes, at Fair Value near quarter-end. This includes the impact of Borrower Loans ineligible for securitization transferred to PFL in conjunction with the PMIT 2024-1 Transaction, as discussed in Note 4, Borrower Loans and Notes, at Fair Value, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in administration fee revenue driven by an increase in reimbursements received from PMI for the incentives provided to whole loan investors, which was partially offset by a decrease in loan listings generated on the marketplace.
Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $0.6 million, or 2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2023, largely due to an increase in administrative fee expense during the period resulting from an increase in estimated transaction fee refunds following revisions to our pricing schedule with WebBank in October 2023 and June 2024, partially offset by a decrease in loans funded for the period.

Administration Fee Revenue - Related Party
We primarily generate revenues through license fees we earn under our Administration Agreement with PMI. The Administration Agreement contains a license we grant to PMI that entitles PMI to use the marketplace for, and in relation to: (i) PMI’s performance of its duties and obligations under the Administration Agreement, and (ii) PMI’s performance of its duties and obligations to WebBank under the Loan Account Program Agreement. The Administration Agreement requires PMI to pay us a monthly license fee that is partially based on the number of personal loan listings posted on the marketplace in that month, as well as a fee based on incentives provided to investors to incentivize the purchase of Borrower Loans from PFL. The increases in Administrative Fee Revenue of $6.0 million and $14.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, are primarily due to increased reimbursements received from PMI for incentives provided to whole loan investors, which resulted in increases of $6.7 million and $16.2 million in Administrative Fee Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These increases were partially offset by $0.7 million and $1.9 million decreases for each respective period due to a decrease of loan listings generated on our marketplace.
Servicing Fees, Net
Investors who purchase Borrower Loans through the Whole Loan Channel typically pay us a servicing fee which is currently set at 1.0% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Borrower Loan prior to applying the current payment, plus an additional 0.075% per annum to cover the Loan Trailing Fee. The Servicing Fee compensates us for the costs incurred in servicing the Borrower Loan, including managing payments from borrowers, managing payments to investors and maintaining investors’ account portfolios. We record Servicing Fees from investors as a component of operating revenues when received. We also include any collection fees received, net of collection agency expenses, in Servicing Fees, Net.
The decreases in Servicing Fees, Net of $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, are largely due to the reduction in the servicing book during these periods, which resulted in decreased Servicing Fees, Net of $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This is generally in line with the decrease in personal loan originations during these periods. These decreases were partially offset by $0.3 million and $0.2 million increases in net collections and debt sale fees for each respective period, as we continue to enhance our collections and debt sale recovery efforts.
Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans
Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans consists primarily of incentives provided to investors at the time Borrower Loans are sold through the Whole Loan Channel, net of any gains recognized on those sales, primarily due to the recognition of additional Servicing Assets. Since 2022, due to market volatility and incentives offered by competitors, we started providing additional incentives to our whole loan investors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these incentives increased $6.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively, from the corresponding periods in the prior year, accounting for most of the increases for these periods. Excluding the impact of these incentives, the remaining decrease in Loss on Sale of Borrower Loans for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $0.4 million was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of whole loans sold during this time, as a result of reduced personal loan originations.
Other Revenues
Other Revenues has historically consisted primarily of incentive fees, which are earned from partner companies through our incentive programs. The changes in Other Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, were not significant.
Interest Income on Borrower Loans and Interest Expense on Notes
We recognize Interest Income on Borrower Loans using the accrual method based on the stated interest rate to the extent we believe it to be collectible. We record Interest Expense on the corresponding Notes based on the contractual interest rates. The interest rate on Notes is generally 1% lower than the interest rate on the corresponding Borrower Loans to compensate us for servicing the underlying Borrower Loans.
Overall, the $0.2 million and $0.3 million decreases in Net Interest Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, are due to a decrease in the outstanding principal balance of Borrower Loans and Notes during these periods.
Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments captures gains (losses) in fair value estimates using discounted cash flow methodologies that are based upon a set of valuation assumptions. The key assumptions used in valuations include default and prepayment rates derived from historical performance and discount rates that reflect estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Changes in fair value of Borrower Loans funded through the Note Channel are largely offset by the changes in fair value of the corresponding Notes due to the borrower payment-dependent structure, though differences will arise due to the actual and projected impact of cash flows related to charge-offs, debt sales and miscellaneous fees.
The following table summarizes the fair value adjustments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | | |
| | | | | | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
Borrower Loans | | | | | | (8,546) | | | (10,250) | | | $ | (14,104) | | | $ | (18,059) | | | | | |
Notes | | | | | | 8,694 | | | 10,466 | | | 13,566 | | | 17,895 | | | | | |
Total | | | | | | $ | 148 | | | $ | 216 | | | $ | (538) | | | $ | (164) | | | | | |
The change for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, was not significant. The decrease in net revenues from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily reflective of the timing of the issuance of Notes and collection of Borrower Loan proceeds close to period-end, and the impact of Borrower Loans ineligible for securitization transferred to PFL in conjunction with the PMIT 2024-1 Transaction, as discussed in Note 4, Borrower Loans and Notes, at Fair Value, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Other fair value changes are generally not material, which is consistent with the borrower payment-structure described above.

Administration Fee - Related Party
Pursuant to our Administration Agreement with PMI, PMI manages the marketplace on our behalf. Accordingly, each month we are required to pay PMI (a) a corporate administration fee of $500,000 per month, (b) a fee for each Borrower Loan originated through the marketplace, (c) 62.5% of all Servicing Fees collected by us or on our behalf and (d) all nonsufficient funds fees collected by us or on our behalf. In general, the Administrative Fee Expense will not fluctuate directly in line with the Administrative Fee Revenue due to both the flat corporate administrative fee, as well as the fact that we pay fees for three different services, but receive a fee based only on the number of loans listed on the platform. We also include refund liabilities for transaction fees above 5%, based on our revised pricing schedule with WebBank, in Administration Fee - Related Party.
The decrease in Administration Fee - Related Party expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year, is reflective of (a) a decrease in administration fees of $1.5 million, due to decreases in the number loans funded and Servicing Fees, Net, during this period, partially offset by (b) a $1.5 million increase in the refund liability for transaction fees above 5%, as we only revised our pricing schedule with WebBank in the fourth quarter of 2023 and again in June 2024.
The increase in Administration Fee - Related Party expense of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is due primarily to a $4.2 million increase in the refund liability for transaction fees above 5%. This was partially offset by a decrease in administration fees of $3.1 million, due to decreases in the number of loans funded and Servicing Fees, Net during this period.
Servicing and Other, Net
Servicing costs consist primarily of vendor and borrower costs, as well as depreciation of internal-use software associated with servicing Borrower Loans. Other items consist primarily of interest income on cash invested in our platform, as well as bank service charges and professional fees. The decreases in Servicing and Other, Net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, are primarily due to increased interest income of $0.2 million and $0.5 million for each respective period. These increases in interest income are generally due to higher average interest rates, as well as increased cash on our platform year-over-year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We anticipate that our available funds and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 |
Net Loss | | $ | (4,199) | | | $ | (50) | |
| | | | |
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities | | 7,780 | | | (7,938) | |
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities | | (208) | | | (35,246) | |
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities | | (2,763) | | | 29,678 | |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | | 4,809 | | | (13,506) | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the beginning of the period | | 97,039 | | | 97,849 | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the end of the period | | $ | 101,848 | | | $ | 84,343 | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash increased $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, based on the following components:
Operating Activities: $7.8 million was provided by operating activities, driven by cash provided by working capital of $7.9 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to PMI and investors, partially offset by net loss, net of non-cash adjustments of $0.1 million.
Investing Activities: $0.2 million was used in investing activities, due to $96.1 million in purchases of Borrower Loans and $3.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $99.8 million of principal payments under Borrower Loans.
Financing Activities: $2.8 million was used by financing activities, due to $98.8 million in payments for Notes, at Fair Value, and partially offset by $96.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of Notes, at Fair Value.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash decreased $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, based on the following components:
Operating Activities: $7.9 million was used in operating activities, driven by cash used in working capital of $10.9 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to PMI and investors, partially offset by net loss, net of non-cash adjustments of $2.9 million.
Investing Activities: $35.2 million was used in investing activities, due to $125.8 million in purchases of Borrower Loans and $3.8 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $94.4 million of principal payments under Borrower Loans.
Financing Activities: $29.7 million was provided by financing activities, due to $123.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of Notes, at Fair Value, partially offset by $93.9 million in payments for Notes, at Fair Value.
Income Taxes
We incurred no income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. We are a US disregarded entity for income tax purposes and our income and loss is included in the return of our parent, PMI. Given PMI’s history of taxable losses, it is difficult to accurately forecast how Prosper’s and our results will be affected by the realization and use of net operating loss carry forwards.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As a result of retaining servicing rights on the sale of Borrower Loans, we are a variable interest holder in certain special purposes entities that purchase these Borrower Loans. None of these special interest entities are consolidated as we are not the primary beneficiary. Otherwise as of June 30, 2024, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing activities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE RISK
PROSPER MARKETPLACE, INC.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values, or future cash flows that may result from changes in financial market prices and interest rates.
Through our securitization trusts (formed in September 2023 and March 2024) we hold Borrower Loans. Changes in U.S. interest rates affect the market value of these Borrower Loans on our balance sheet. Our future investment income may fall short of expectations, or we may suffer a loss in principal if we are forced to sell Borrower Loans that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates, loss assumptions or overall market conditions. Recent interest rate increases, due in part to ongoing inflation, may increase the risks of our investments in Borrower Loans through our securitization trusts, and additional fluctuations in interest rates may exacerbate such risks. Changes in the market value of Borrower Loans are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of Borrower Loans held in consolidated securitization trusts was $266.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
The fair values of Borrower Loans and Notes are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies based upon a set of valuation assumptions such as default rate, prepayment rate and discount rate. Default rate, prepayment rate and discount rate may change due to expected loan performance or changes in the expected returns of similar financial instruments available in the market. We are exposed to the risk of a decrease in the fair value of loans held in the warehouse and securitization trusts. For Borrower Loans and Notes presented on our Balance Sheet on behalf of our Note Channel investors, the fair value adjustments for Borrower Loans are largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the Notes due to the borrower payment dependent design of the Notes and due to the total principal balances of the Borrower Loans being very close to the total principal balances of the Notes.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $26.7 million and $35.0 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts were held in various unrestricted deposits with highly rated financial institutions and short-term, highly liquid marketable securities which may include money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. agency securities. Cash and Cash Equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Due to their short-term nature, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of these liquid investments as a result of changes in interest rates. Decreases in short-term interest rates will moderately reduce interest income on these Cash and Cash Equivalents. Increases in short-term interest rates will moderately increase the interest income earned on the Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
As more fully described in Note 8, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, of Prosper's condensed consolidated financial statements attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the fair value of Borrower Loans is $574.6 million as of June 30, 2024, determined using a weighted-average discount rate of 7.82%. The combined fair value of Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale was $706.5 million as of December 31, 2023, determined using a weighted-average discount rate of 6.88%. A
hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $5.4 million and $6.8 million in the fair value of PMI’s investment in Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an increase of approximately $5.5 million and $6.9 million in the fair value of our investment in Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate change would be recorded in our statement of operations so long as we hold these Borrower Loans and Loans Held for Sale on our balance sheet.
PROSPER FUNDING LLC
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values, or future cash flows that may result from changes in financial market prices and interest rates.
Because balances, interest rates, and maturities of Borrower Loans are matched and offset by an equal balance of Notes with the exact same interest rates (net of our servicing fee) and initial maturities, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the net fair value of the combined Borrower Loan and Note portfolios as a result of changes in interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The fair values of Borrower Loans and the related Notes are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies based upon a set of valuation assumptions. The fair value adjustments for Borrower Loans are largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the Notes due to the borrower payment dependent design of the Notes and due to the total principal balances of the Borrower Loans being very close to the total principal balances of the Notes.
Prosper Funding had Cash and Cash Equivalents of $4.3 million and $3.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts were held in various unrestricted deposits with highly rated financial institutions and short term, highly liquid marketable securities which may include money market funds, U.S. treasury securities and U.S. agency securities. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Due to their short-term nature, Prosper Funding believes that it does not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of these liquid investments as a result of changes in interest rates. Decreases in short-term interest rates will moderately reduce interest income on these cash and cash equivalents, while increases in short-term interest rates will moderately increase the interest income earned on these cash and cash equivalent balances.
