OppFi Encouraged By Early Results With Bitty

| By:


OppFi achieved a new record in Q3.

“The record quarterly net income was a result of credit initiatives that continue to drive strong loss payment and recovery performance, marketing cost efficiency and prudent expense discipline across the organization,” said OppFi CEO Todd Schwartz during the quarterly earnings call. One part of that organization is Bitty Advance, which it acquired a 35% stake in this past summer. “We are encouraged by the early results and potential opportunity of this platform and the strength of our relationship with Bitty,” Schwartz said of the progress so far. “We continue to explore similar opportunities that would be accretive and align with OppFi’s strategic vision.”

One analyst on the call inquired further about what similar opportunities Schwartz might be referring to on the M&A front.

Schwartz responded with the following:

I mean I think whatever it is, it’s got to be something that’s highly accretive. I mean, OppFi’s vision is to be a platform for digital alternative financial service products where we see large supply-demand imbalances in large addressable markets. There’s definitely different profiles of business out there, different situations are pretty — it’s pretty bespoke, but we’re prepared to handle either-or. So it has to make sense for us, though. And obviously, we’re going to protect and mitigate risk with anything we do to make sure that it’s successful and make sure that we’re going to be getting a return on our capital and it’s highly accretive to shareholders.
