Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies and Recent Developments Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies and Recent Developments
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
a)Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Open Lending and all its subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements, as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes the disclosures made in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information herein not misleading. The Company recommends that these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as Open Lending, LLC was determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805,
Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The determination is primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
•the pre-combination unitholders of Open Lending, LLC hold the majority of voting rights in the Company;
•the pre-combination unitholders of Open Lending, LLC have the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the Company;
•senior management of Open Lending, LLC became the senior management of the Company; and
•operations of Open Lending, LLC comprise the ongoing operations of the Company.
In connection with the Business Combination, all outstanding units of Open Lending, LLC were converted into common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, representing a recapitalization, and the net assets of Nebula were acquired at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Open Lending, LLC was deemed to be the predecessor of the Company, and the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations prior to the Closing are those of Open Lending, LLC. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and net income per share available to common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. The number of Series C preferred units in mezzanine equity was also retroactively restated in shares reflecting the exchange ratio, and the carrying amount of the Series C preferred units is based on the fair value of its redemption amount on each reporting date. All Series C preferred units were converted to the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date.
b)COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty regarding the U.S. and global economies and our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and continued spread of variants of COVID-19; the impact on our revenues, which are generated with automobile lenders and insurance company partners and driven by consumer demand for automobiles and automotive loans; extended closures of businesses, the effectiveness of the vaccine distribution program and the vaccines themselves; unemployment levels and the overall impact on our customer behavior, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company is diligently working to ensure that we can continue to operate with minimal disruption, mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our employees’ health and safety, and address potential business interruptions on ourselves and our customers. The Company believes that the COVID-19 pandemic, the mitigation efforts and the resulting economic impact have had, and may continue to have, an overall adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company saw a reduction in loan applications and certified loans throughout the majority of 2020. As consumers and lenders have adjusted to the pandemic, application and certification levels have increased in 2021. Lenders’ forbearance programs, government stimulus packages, extended unemployment benefits and other government assistance have resulted in a reduction in expected defaults since the onset of the pandemic. As these programs end, defaults may increase. The potential increase in defaults may impact our revenues and subsequent recovery as the automotive finance industry and overall economy recover. The Company continues to closely monitor the current macro environment, particularly monetary and fiscal policies.
c)Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). As such, the Company is eligible for and intends to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.
The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in the Exchange Act, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-
convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s initial public offering. The Company expects to be deemed a large accelerated filer beginning January 1, 2022.
d)Concentrations of revenue and credit risks
The Company’s business relationships with its two insurance partners currently producing revenue generate approximately 66% of the Company’s total revenue for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, with the top insurance partner accounting for approximately 64% of the total profit share revenue. In the event that one or more of our other significant customers terminate their relationships with us, or elect to utilize an alternative source for financing, the number of loans originated through the Lender’s Protection Platform (“LPP”) would decline, which would materially and adversely affect our business and, in turn, our revenue.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable to the extent of the amounts recorded on the balance sheets.
Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in commercial analysis and savings accounts at two financial institutions, both with high credit standing. Restricted cash relates to funds held by the Company on behalf of the insurance carriers, delegated for the use of insurance claim payments. Restricted cash is deposited in commercial analysis accounts at one financial institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
The Company’s accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. At June 30, 2021, the Company had one customer that represented 16% of the Company's accounts receivable. At December 31, 2020, the Company had one customer that represented 19% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
e)Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences may be material. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
The most significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, profit share revenue recognition and the corresponding impact on contract assets, the recognition of the valuations of share-based compensation arrangements, and assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. These estimates, although based on actual historical trend and modeling, may potentially show significant variances over time.
In connection with profit share revenue recognition and the estimation of contract asset under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), we use forecasts of loan-level earned premium and insurance claim payments. These forecasts are driven by the projection of loan defaults, prepayments and default severity rates. These assumptions are based on our observations of the historical behavior for loans with similar risk characteristics. The assumptions also take into consideration the forecast adjustments under various macroeconomic conditions, including the potential impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current mix of the underlying portfolio of our insurance partners. As the Company closely monitors the development of the pandemic and its ongoing impact on Open Lending's business, management has accordingly adjusted these assumptions during the three and six months of 2021 as a result of changes in facts and circumstances and general market conditions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic.
f)Property and equipment
The Company's property and equipment balance primarily consists of furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the normal course of business, as well as leasehold improvements and computer software developed for internal use.
g)Recently adopted new accounting standards
On January, 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The impact of the adoption of this standard was immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal—Use Software, Subtopic, 350-40, which provides guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud-computing arrangement when hosted by a vendor. The guidance provides that, in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract, certain implementation costs should be capitalized and amortized over the term of the arrangement. The Company adopted this guidance using the prospective method. The impact of the adoption of this standard was immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
h)Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides guidance regarding the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in the current guidance with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for the Company commencing after December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform within Topic 848, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients and are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this update also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. If elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions within the relevant ASC Topic or Industry Subtopic that contains the guidance that otherwise would be required to be applied. The amendments in this update were effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
