Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Prosper measures the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with its fair value hierarchy which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. The Company applies this framework whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheets are classified among three levels based on the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value: Level 1 — The valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2 — The valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation methodologies for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 — The valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instrument. Level 3 valuations are typically performed using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar methodologies, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair values of assets or liabilities are determined based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Various valuation methodologies are utilized, depending on the nature of the financial instrument, including the use of market prices for identical or similar instruments, or discounted cash flow models. When possible, active and observable market data for identical or similar financial instruments are utilized. Alternatively, fair value is determined using assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. 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. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands): September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Borrower Loans, at Fair Value — — 517,113 517,113 Servicing Assets — — 13,076 13,076 Credit Card Derivative (Note 5) — — 50,095 50,095 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 580,284 $ 580,284 Liabilities: Notes, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 294,427 $ 294,427 Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability — — 218,951 218,951 Loan Trailing Fee Liability (Note 10) — — 2,956 2,956 Credit Card servicing obligation liability (Note 5) — — 11,083 11,083 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 527,417 $ 527,417 December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 161,501 $ 161,501 Borrower Loans, at Fair Value — — 545,038 545,038 SOFR rate swaption (Note 11) — 90 — 90 Servicing Assets — — 12,249 12,249 Credit Card Derivative (Note 5) $ — $ — 36,848 36,848 Total Assets $ — $ 90 $ 755,636 $ 755,726 Liabilities: Notes, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 321,966 $ 321,966 Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability — — 215,041 215,041 Loan Trailing Fee Liability (Note 10) — — 2,942 2,942 Credit Card servicing obligation liability (Note 5) $ — $ — 9,732 9,732 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 549,681 $ 549,681 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Range Borrower Loans, Loans Held for Sale and Notes: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Discount rate 5.1% - 10.2% 5.4% - 8.1% Default rate 2.6% - 23.9% 3.2% - 23.6% Range Servicing Assets: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Discount rate 15.0% - 25.0% 15.0% - 25.0% Default rate 2.6% - 24.1% 2.8% - 23.6% Prepayment rate 12.9% - 29.7% 6.1% - 30.6% 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were measured using a market servicing rate assumptio n 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 September 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. Range Loan Trailing Fee Liability: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Discount rate 15.0% - 25.0% 15.0% - 25.0% Default rate 2.6% - 24.1% 2.8% - 23.6% Prepayment rate 12.9% - 29.7% 6.1% - 30.6% Ranges of inputs are not applied to the Credit Card Derivative and Credit Card servicing obligation liability, as they are valued at the portfolio level. Refer below for a summary of the significant unobservable inputs associated with those Level 3 fair value measurements. At September 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.

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

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 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 September 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): September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Borrower Loans, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 297,985 $ 297,985 Servicing Assets — — 13,870 13,870 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 311,855 $ 311,855 Liabilities: Notes, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 294,427 $ 294,427 Loan Trailing Fee Liability (included in Other Liabilities) — — 2,956 2,956 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 297,383 $ 297,383 December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Borrower Loans, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 324,311 $ 324,311 Servicing Assets — — 13,818 13,818 Total Assets $ — $ — $ 338,129 $ 338,129 Liabilities: Notes, at Fair Value $ — $ — $ 321,966 $ 321,966 Loan Trailing Fee Liability (included in Other Liabilities) — — 2,942 2,942 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 324,908 $ 324,908 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. Significant Unobservable Inputs The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for PFL’s Level 3 fair value measurements at the dates presented: Range Borrower Loans and Notes September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Discount rate 4.7% - 9.5% 5.5% - 8% Default rate 3.0% - 23.9% 3.2% - 23.6% Range Servicing Assets September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Discount rate 15.0% - 25.0% 15.0% - 25.0% Default rate 2.6% - 24.1% 2.8% - 23.6% Prepayment rate 9.0% - 30.6% 6.1% - 30.6% Market servicing rate (1) (2) 0.633% - 0.842% 0.633% - 0.842% (1) Servicing assets associated with loa ns enrolled in a relief program offered by the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were measured using a market servicing rate assumption o f 84.2 ba sis points.

Notes September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Fair value, using the following assumptions: $ 294,427 $ 321,966 Weighted-average discount rate 6.94 % 6.55 % Weighted-average default rate 13.12 % 14.21 % Fair value resulting from: 100 basis point increase in discount rate $ 291,692 $ 318,877 200 basis point increase in discount rate $ 289,023 $ 315,863 Fair value resulting from: 100 basis point decrease in discount rate $ 297,229 $ 325,134 200 basis point decrease in discount rate $ 300,103 $ 328,384 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 1.1 multiplier to default rate $ 290,871 $ 317,359 Applying a 1.2 multiplier to default rate $ 287,332 $ 312,800 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 0.9 multiplier to default rate $ 298,000 $ 326,621 Applying a 0.8 multiplier to default rate $ 301,595 $ 331,325 Key economic assumptions are used to compute the fair value of Servicing Assets. The sensitivity of the current fair value to immediate changes in assumptions at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for Servicing Assets are presented in the following table (in thousands, except percentages). Servicing Assets September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Fair value, using the following assumptions: $ 13,870 $ 13,818 Weighted-average market servicing rate 0.64 % 0.65 % Weighted-average prepayment rate 18.90 % 19.96 % Weighted-average default rate 14.27 % 14.74 % Fair value resulting from: Market servicing rate increase of 0.025% $ 12,988 $ 12,945 Market servicing rate decrease of 0.025% $ 14,753 $ 14,691 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 1.1 multiplier to prepayment rate $ 13,565 $ 13,502 Applying a 0.9 multiplier to prepayment rate $ 14,181 $ 14,139 Fair value resulting from: Applying a 1.1 multiplier to default rate $ 13,587 $ 13,534 Applying a 0.9 multiplier to default rate $ 14,155 $ 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. |
