The core culprit was a sharp deceleration in consumer discretionary spending, with electronics declining 11% and Peloton-weighted sporting goods falling 49%, pressuring gross merchandise volume to $5.70 billion despite a 27% year-over-year gain. Revenue Less Transaction Costs slid 21% year-over-year to $144.20 million, hurt by delayed implementation of pricing increases and deteriorating funding market conditions. The company's GAAP net loss widened to $322.44 million from $159.74 million a year ago, and shares fell roughly 17% in after-hours trading following the print. In response, Affirm announced a 19% workforce reduction expected to generate annualized savings of $77.00 to $83.00 million. Looking ahead, the company guided fiscal third-quarter revenue of $360.00 to $380.00 million and trimmed its full-year FY'23 revenue outlook to $1.48 to $1.55 billion, while reiterating its target to reach adjusted operating income profitability as it exits the fiscal year.

Key Takeaways

  • Record GMV of $5.7 billion driven by 27% year-over-year growth (35% excluding Peloton)
  • 67% of GMV came from interest-bearing loans, highest quarterly ratio in company history
  • Active consumers grew 39% YoY to 15.6 million with transactions per active consumer up 38% to 3.5
  • 86% of transactions from repeat users
  • Sequential improvement in 30+ day delinquency rates during the quarter
  • Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses declined 36% year-over-year

“We delivered a decisive display of Affirm's advantage in controlling credit outcomes, reducing delinquencies on a sequential basis. This performance and an ongoing constructive dialog with our capital partners enabled us to add significant funding capacity in January.”
