Analysis · HAPN · Finance
Happen delivered a standout quarter, with net income jumping 52% year-over-year to $58.1 million, or $0.50 per share, driven by a 29% surge in loan originations to $3.1 billion. The company also adopted fair value accounting for new loans, which front-loads origination fees and marketing costs, and changed its corporate name from LendingClub. While the results are strong, the quarter included a $121 million negative fair value adjustment, and the CEO sold $577K of stock under a pre-existing plan just days before the earnings release — a move that may temper enthusiasm.
