 AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 11, 2020 GLOBE NEWSWIRE -- Open Lending Corporation NASDAQ: LPRO the Company or Open Lending, a leading provider of lending enablement and risk analytics solutions to financial institutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2020.While the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly changed the world, the economy and specifically the autodealership industry, we are very encouraged by the recent trends in the automotive loan market. The low interest rate environment, demand for used cars, and commuters shifting away from public modes of transportation are driving these positive recent trends. Automobile sales and prices are improving, our lending partners are continuing to utilize our platform and we have a healthy pipeline of new lenders who would like to integrate our technology platform within their business model, said John Flynn, CEO and President of Open Lending. We are also thrilled to have completed our business combination with Nebula Acquisition Corporation in June, which we believe provides us with the capital to execute on our growth plan.Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Highlights The Company facilitated 18,684 certified loans during the second quarter of 2020, compared to 20,008 certified loans in the second quarter of 2019 Total revenue was 22.1 million, compared to 25.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 Gross profit was 20.2 million, compared to 23.1 million in second quarter of 2019 GAAP net loss of 49.8 million, compared to GAAP net income of 17.5 million in second quarter 2019. Second quarter 2020 results were negatively impacted by approximately 60 million in costs associated with the business combination with Nebula Acquisition Corporation Nebula. The majority of these costs, approximately 48.8 million, were attributable to the change in fair value of contingent consideration earn-out shares awarded as part of the business combination with Nebula. Given the share price performance milestones have all been met as of August 10, 2020, net income beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond will not be burdened by any changes to fair value of the contingent consideration earn-out shares. Adjusted EBITDA was 15.4 million, compared to 18.1 million in the second quarter of 2019Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of this measure and how it is calculated is also included under the heading Non-GAAP Financial Measures.Business Combination On June 10, 2020, Open Lending, LLC and Nebula, a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by True Wind Capital, L.P., announced that they completed their previously announced business combination.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, internally in analyzing our financial results and believe it is useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. The Company believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, the Company believes these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent consideration and transaction bonuses as a result of the Business Combination. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
