Stonegate Capital Partners has updated its coverage of OppFi, Inc. following the company's strong fiscal year 2025 performance. OppFi reported record revenue of $597.1 million, adjusted net income of $139.8 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.59, representing year-over-year increases of 13.5%, 69.1%, and $0.64 respectively. GAAP net income rose 74.4% to $146.2 million.
The financial technology company's results were driven by several key factors including the implementation of Model 6, broader use of risk-based pricing, and solid operating discipline. These initiatives improved unit economics and margin conversion throughout the fiscal year. Management also demonstrated confidence in the company's financial position by returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases totaling $15.5 million at an average price of $10.04, with $20.9 million remaining under the current authorization.
According to Stonegate Capital Partners' analysis, FY25 represented a meaningful step forward in three critical areas: profitability, underwriting capabilities, and capital return capacity. The firm noted that FY25 was a breakout year for OppFi, with record revenue, earnings, and margin expansion highlighting stronger scale, pricing discipline, and operating efficiency.

The importance of these results extends beyond the immediate financial metrics. OppFi's improved capital flexibility, driven by strong free cash flow, ample liquidity, and lower funding costs, strengthens the company's financial foundation for future growth. This enhanced flexibility allows the company to navigate market conditions while continuing to return value to shareholders through mechanisms like share repurchases.
For the broader financial technology and lending industry, OppFi's success with risk-based pricing and improved underwriting models demonstrates how data-driven approaches can enhance profitability while managing risk. The company's performance suggests that disciplined operational strategies can yield significant results even in competitive market environments.
Looking forward, management has provided FY26 guidance that supports continued momentum. The company expects solid growth while characterizing recent credit pressure as temporary rather than structural. This outlook suggests confidence in the sustainability of the improvements achieved in FY25 and the company's ability to maintain its trajectory.
