The forward-looking statements include statements regarding: our future financial performance including our outlook for full fiscal year 2021; the Company’s belief that it is in a strong position from both an operational and capital perspective; our expectations regarding our 2021 outlook and growth strategies, including our expectation of originations to grow; our expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19 as well as related government actions and stimulus programs, as well as underwriting changes implemented by us and the banks we support to address credit risks associated with the loan originations during the economic crises created by the pandemic, on our business, customers, results of operations and financial condition, including on loan originations, demand for our products, credit quality, marketing expense and net charge-offs; our expectations regarding the cumulative loss rate as a percentage of originations for the 2020 and 2021 vintages; our expectations with respect to our liquidity position and requirements for additional debt to fund loans; our expectations with respect to our stock repurchase plan and our current valuation; and our expectations regarding the cost of customer acquisition, new customer originations, and the efficacy and cost of our marketing efforts.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and various policies being implemented to prevent its spread on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations; the Company’s limited operating history in an evolving industry; the Company’s ability to grow revenue and maintain or achieve consistent profitability in the future; new laws and regulations in the consumer lending industry in many jurisdictions that could restrict the consumer lending products and services the Company offers, impose additional compliance costs on the Company, render the Company’s current operations unprofitable or even prohibit the Company’s current operations; scrutiny by regulators and payment processors of certain online lenders’ access to the Automated Clearing House system to disburse and collect loan proceeds and repayments; a lack of sufficient debt financing at acceptable prices or disruptions in the credit markets; the impact of competition in our industry and innovation by our competitors; our ability to prevent security breaches, disruption in service and comparable events that could compromise the personal and confidential information held in our data systems, reduce the attractiveness of our platform or adversely impact our ability to service loans; and other risks related to litigation, compliance and regulation.
