+Added: • The weighted average discount rates on personal loans and student loans decreased by 103 bps and 57, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 compared to September 30, 2023.
+Added: For personal loans, our discount rate assumptions decreased in the fourth quarter due to benchmark rates declining by 90 bps, as well as spreads tightening by 13 bps.
+Added: For student loans, our discount rate assumptions decreased in the fourth quarter due to benchmark rates declining by 86 bps, as well as spreads widening by 29 bps.
+Added: Spread changes are indicated by asset-backed security and secondary bond markets.

+Added: On October 4, 2023, the Biden Administration approved an additional 125,000 borrowers for student loan debt relief, totaling an additional $9 billion in student debt forgiveness.
+Added: While we expect we may continue to see an increase in student loan refinancing volume following the end of the federal student loan payment moratorium after August 30, 2023, as borrowers may look to refinance at a lower rate or, given the high interest rate environment, may look to extend the loan term, the timing and impact to our student loan refinancing product will largely depend on expectations regarding the introduction or implementation of additional relief measures, the interest rate environment, how competitive our student loan refinancing products are compared to our competitors and macroeconomic factors.

+Added: Net interest income increased by $331.9 million, or 132%, during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by higher interest income from non-securitization personal and student loans, which were primarily a function of increases in average balances, higher personal loan origination volume and longer loan holding periods.
+Added: This increase was partially offset by interest expense on deposits at SoFi Bank during 2022, and lower interest income from consolidated personal and student loan securitizations, which were impacted by decreases in average balances primarily attributable to payment activity and the absence of additions to our consolidated securitization loan balances.
+Added: Net interest margin increased by 145 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by higher interest-earning assets at higher average yields, particularly related to non-securitization loans, partially offset by higher interest rates paid on warehouse facilities and interest-bearing deposits used to fund our loan originations.

Volume and rate changes have been allocated on a consistent basis using the respective percentage changes in average balances and average rates.
−Removed: Net interest income increased by $331.9 million, or 132%, during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by higher interest income from non-securitization personal and student loans, which were primarily a function of increases in average balances, higher personal loan origination volume and longer loan holding periods.
−Removed: This increase was partially offset by interest expense on deposits at SoFi Bank during 2022, and lower interest income from consolidated personal and student loan securitizations, which were impacted by decreases in average balances primarily attributable to payment activity and the absence of additions to our consolidated securitization loan balances.
−Removed: Net interest margin increased by 145 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily driven by higher interest-earning assets at higher average yields, particularly related to non-securitization loans, partially offset by higher interest rates paid on warehouse facilities and interest-bearing deposits used to fund our loan originations.
−Removed: Net interest income increased by $74.3 million, or 42%, during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by:
−Removed: (i) lower interest expense associated with lower average securitization and warehouse debt balances, as well as lower reference rates and lower warehouse facility interest rate spreads, (ii) lower securitizations interest income, which was primarily attributable to decreases in residual investment interest income and asset-backed bonds due primarily to decreases in average securitization investment balances, (iii) lower interest income from consolidated personal and student loan securitizations, which were impacted by declines in average balances attributable to payment activity and deconsolidation activity in 2020.
−Removed: This increase was partially offset by higher interest income on non-securitization personal and student loans, which were primarily a function of increases in average balances, higher personal loan origination volume and longer loan holding periods for student loans.
−Removed: Net interest margin increased by 106 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by decreases in the average balances of warehouse facilities and securitization debt, lower reference rates and warehouse facility interest rate spreads in 2021 compared to 2020, as well as the impact of the seller note issued in 2020 in connection with the acquisition of Galileo and repaid in early 2021.

Total noninterest expense increased by $531.7 million, or 28%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by:
−Removed: (i) higher employee compensation and benefits (inclusive of an increase in share-based compensation expense), a portion of which was attributable to the Technisys Merger and the remainder of which was related to increased personnel to support our growth in 2022, (ii) increases in advertising expenditures and utilization of lead generation channels, (iii) an increase in the provision for credit losses, which reflected higher average credit card balances combined with elevated credit card loss rates during 2022, (iv) an increase in amortization of intangible assets due to acquired intangible assets in the Technisys Merger, and (v) an increase in purchased and internally-developed software amortization, reflective of continued investments in technology.
+Added: (i) goodwill impairment expense related to the Galileo and Technisys reporting units, further discussed within “ Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Goodwill ”, (ii) higher employee compensation and benefits, which was attributable to increases in headcount and salary and the inclusion of Technisys for the full 2023 period compared to a partial period in 2022, related to support of our growth and impacts of the inflationary environment, as well as restructuring charges during the first and fourth quarters of 2023 and partially offset by decreases in share-based compensation expense, (iii) increases in advertising and marketing expenditures, utilization of lead generation channels and direct member incentives, (iv) increased amortization of purchased and internally-developed software, and in tools and subscriptions costs, reflective of continued investments in technology, (v) an increase in product fulfillment costs, which included debit card fulfillment services, primarily related to our SoFi Money product, as well as payment processing network association fees associated with increased activity on our technology platform, and (vi) increases in amortization of intangible assets primarily due to acquired intangible assets in the Technisys Merger and Wyndham acquisition.

This was combined with a positive impact from increased loan application approval rates within our existing credit parameters that were implemented during the second half of 2021 and maintained through mid-2022, with slight credit tightening implemented in the second half of 2022.
−Removed: Personal loan origination volume increased significantly during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the improved economic outlook and consumer confidence levels throughout 2021, as there was lower consumer spending behavior during the earlier stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we believe decreased the overall demand for debt consolidation loans.

Student Loans.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2022, student loan origination volume decreased significantly relative to 2021, as demand for student loan refinancing products continued to be unfavorably impacted by the ongoing suspension of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans and the expectation of debt cancellation for certain federal student loan borrowers, combined with a rising interest rate environment in 2022.
−Removed: See “Key Factors Affecting Operating Results—Student Loan Relief” for additional discussion of student loans.
−Removed: Student loan origination volume decreased during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the suspension of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2022, home loan origination volume decreased significantly relative to 2021 due to continued rising interest rates relative to 2021 levels, which tends to lower demand for home loans overall and shift demand from refinance originations to purchase originations, the latter of which is a more competitive landscape.
+Added: During the year ended December 31, 2023, student loan origination volume increased relative to 2022, as demand for student loan refinancing products increased ahead of the resumption of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans as borrowers looked to refinance at a lower rate or, given the high interest rate environment, to extend the loan term.
+Added: This was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the suspension of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans through August 30, 2023 and the expectation of debt cancellation for certain federal student loan borrowers which was struck down by the U.S.

+Added: During the year ended December 31, 2023, home loan origination volume remained relatively flat relative to 2022 due to continued rising interest rates, which tends to lower demand for home loans overall and shift demand from refinance originations to purchase originations, the latter of which is a more competitive landscape.
+Added: Although purchase originations historically represented a smaller percentage of our home loan originations, our mix during the 2023 period has shifted toward more purchase originations, which we would expect to continue under similar macroeconomic conditions.
+Added: Our home loan origination volume increased notably beginning in the second quarter of 2023, aided by the increased capacity and capabilities subsequent to our acquisition of Wyndham.
+Added: Home loan origination volume decreased significantly during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 due to continued rising interest rates relative to 2021 levels, which tends to lower demand for home loans overall and shift demand from refinance originations to purchase originations, the latter of which is a more competitive landscape.

+Added: As a result of this assessment, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units were determined to be below their carrying values by 9.9% and 14.8%, respectively, resulting in management recognizing non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $124.5 million and $122.7 million for the Galileo and Technisys reporting units, respectively.
+Added: If the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows was increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units would decrease or increase by 6% and 4%, respectively.
+Added: Similarly, if the long-term growth rate was increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units would increase or decrease by approximately 3% and 1%, respectively.
