Overview

LendingClub operates a leading, nationally chartered, digital marketplace bank that leverages data and technology to increase access to credit, reduce borrowing costs, and improve returns on savings for our members.

Election of Fair Value Option

Effective January 1, 2026, we elected the fair value option to account for held for investment (HFI) loans that were originated on or after that date (fair value option election). Prior to this election, loans that were originated as HFI were, and will continue to be, accounted for at amortized cost, which required the initial recognition of a CECL allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. We believe that applying the fair value option, rather than amortized cost accounting with the CECL methodology, to HFI loans more accurately reflects the in-period economic performance of the loans by better aligning the value of the loan to its then fair value. Under the fair value option, origination fee revenue and marketing costs are recognized in earnings at the time of loan origination, rather than being deferred. Fair value adjustments on loans are recognized in current period earnings within “Net fair value adjustments” and include the impact of credit losses that previously would have been recorded as a provision expense under CECL. Further, by applying the fair value option to HFI loans, we are applying the same accounting methodology to all loans we originate on or after January 1, 2026, as both HFI and held for sale (HFS) loans are now measured at fair value.

Financial Highlights

We delivered several financial achievements in the first quarter of 2026, including total net revenue of $252.3 million, an increase of 16% compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in loan origination volume along with higher loan sales, improved loan sale pricing, and a higher net interest margin. Net income grew to $51.6 million, with diluted EPS of $0.44, compared to $11.7 million, with diluted EPS of $0.10, in the prior year.

The following tables summarize our selected financial data:

Overview

LendingClub operates a leading, nationally chartered, digital marketplace bank that leverages data and technology to increase access to credit, reduce borrowing costs, and improve returns on savings for our members.

Election of Fair Value Option

Effective January 1, 2026, we elected the fair value option to account for held for investment (HFI) loans that were originated on or after that date. Prior to this election, loans that were originated as HFI were, and we expect will continue to be, accounted for at amortized cost, which required the initial recognition of an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses under the CECL methodology, recognized within “Provision for credit losses” on the Income Statement. We believe that applying the fair value option, rather than the CECL methodology, to HFI loans more accurately reflects the in-period economic performance of the loans by better aligning the value of the loan to its then fair value. Under the fair value option, origination fee revenue and marketing costs are recognized in earnings at the time of loan origination, rather than being deferred, and changes in fair value of loans are recognized in current period earnings within “Net fair value adjustments” on the Income Statement. Further, by applying the fair value option to HFI loans, we are applying the same accounting methodology to all loans we originate after January 1, 2026, as both HFI and held for sale (HFS) loans will be measured at fair value.

Executive Summary

The following is a summary of our results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting growth in loan originations, total net revenue and net income.

•Loan originations: Loan originations increased $2.4 billion, or 33%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by an increase in unsecured personal loan origination volume.

◦Marketplace loan originations increased $1.7 billion, or 30%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a higher retention of HFS loans and an increase in marketplace investor demand. Loan originations HFS as a percentage of loan originations was 74% and 76% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

◦Loan originations HFI at amortized cost increased $719.3 million, or 41%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Loan originations HFI at amortized cost as a percentage of loan originations was 26% and 24% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

•Total net revenue: Total net revenue increased $211.8 million, or 27%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

56

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

◦Marketplace revenue: Marketplace revenue increased $113.2 million, or 47%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher origination volume of marketplace loans and improved loan sales prices.

◦Net interest income: Net interest income increased $91.6 million, or 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total interest-earning assets and lower deposit funding costs.

◦Net interest margin: Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 6.07%, increasing from 5.62% in the prior year.

•Provision for credit losses: Provision for credit losses increased $13.1 million, or 7%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of originated loans retained as HFI at amortized cost, partially offset by a shift in the mix of loans toward types with lower expected credit losses and the impact of an $8.0 million provision recognized in 2024 related to one legacy office loan within our commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio.

•Total non-interest expense: Total non-interest expense increased $86.9 million, or 16%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in marketing expense based on higher origination volume and the resumption of certain marketing initiatives, as well as increases in professional services expense and compensation and benefit expense.

•Net income: Net income increased $84.3 million, or 164%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

•Diluted earnings per share (EPS): Diluted EPS increased to $1.16 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.45 for the prior year.

•Pre-provision net revenue (PPNR): PPNR for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $124.9 million, or 51%, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by an increase in total net revenue, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

•Total assets: Total assets were $11.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $10.6 billion in the prior year. Total assets increased year-over-year primarily driven by an increase in loans on our balance sheet.

•Deposits: Total deposits were $9.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $9.1 billion in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to growth in our high-yield savings deposits.

◦Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured deposits represent approximately 88% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025.

The above summary should be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its entirety. For additional discussion related to our operating segments, see “Segment Information.”

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

Marketplace Revenue

Marketplace revenue consists of the following:

We elected to account for HFS loans under the fair value option. With the election of the fair value option, origination fees, net fair value adjustments prior to the sale of the loans, and servicing asset gains on the sales of the loans, are reported as separate components within “Marketplace revenue.”

Origination Fees

Origination fees recorded as a component of marketplace revenue are fees charged to borrowers in connection with the origination of loans that are HFS.

The following table presents loan origination volume during each of the periods set forth below:

(1)    Includes unsecured personal loans and auto loans only.

Origination fees were $372.8 million and $283.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of 32%. The increase was primarily due to higher origination volumes of marketplace loans.

Servicing Fees

We receive servicing fees to compensate us for servicing loans on behalf of marketplace investors, including managing payments from borrowers and remittances to those investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the change in fair value of servicing assets associated with the loans.

61

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

The table below illustrates the average balance of loans sold and subsequently serviced on behalf of the investor on our marketplace platform (in millions):

In addition to the loans serviced on our marketplace platform, we serviced $42.7 million, $102.0 million and $133.2 million in outstanding principal balance of commercial loans sold as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Servicing fees were $59.0 million and $64.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The decrease was primarily due to a lower average principal balance of loans serviced and reduction in servicing fees on delinquent loan collections. This was partially offset by a decrease in fair value amortization on the servicing asset, which included a $7.7 million servicing asset write-off in the third quarter of 2024 related to a loan portfolio purchase.

Gain on Sales of Loans

In connection with loan sales to marketplace investors, we capitalize the initial fair value of servicing rights. A gain or loss is recorded based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing at the time of sale. Additionally, we recognize transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.

The following tables present the unpaid principal balance of the volume of marketplace loans sold, which is a key driver of our gain on sales revenue, during each of the periods set forth below:

(1)    Includes unsecured personal loans and auto loans only.

Gain on sales of loans was $59.1 million and $49.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of 20%. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the volume of marketplace loans sold as well as higher Structured Program transaction expenses in 2024.

Net Fair Value Adjustments

We record adjustments to the carrying value of loans, for which we have elected to account for under the fair value option, to reflect their fair value. These adjustments include gains or losses from sale prices in excess of or less than the loan principal amount sold and realized net charge-offs. In addition, as loans are held on the Balance Sheet, incremental fair value adjustments on the loans are recorded in “Net fair value adjustments” within “Marketplace revenue,” whereas the associated interest income is recorded within “Net interest income.”

Net fair value adjustments were $(134.9) million and $(154.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decreased loss of $19.7 million. The reduction was primarily due to higher loan sale prices as well as a fair value benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2025 based on improved credit performance, partially offset by an increase in the origination volume of marketplace loans.

Net fair value adjustments primarily consist of fair value adjustments on our HFS loan portfolio. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 7. Fair Value

Measurements” for additional information related to the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of HFS loans and activity within the HFS loan portfolio.

Other Non-interest Income

Other non-interest income primarily consists of (i) rental income earned from third-party tenants under operating lease agreements and (ii) referral revenue that relates to fees earned from third-party companies when customers referred by us consider or purchase products or services from such third-party companies. The tables below illustrate the composition of other non-interest income for each period presented:

Other non-interest income increased $7.1 million, or 69%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to rental income earned from third-party tenants under operating lease agreements associated with the building purchased in the second quarter of 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) for lifetime expected losses under CECL on loans and leases HFI at amortized cost is initially recognized as “Provision for credit losses” at the time of origination. The ALLL is estimated using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where effective interest rates are used to calculate the net present value (NPV) of expected cash flows. The effective interest rates are calculated based on the periodic interest income received from the loan’s contractual cash flows and the net investment in the loan, which includes deferred origination fees and marketing costs, to provide a constant rate of return over the loan term. The NPV from the DCF approach is then compared to the amortized cost basis of the loans and leases to determine the ALLL. Under the DCF approach, the provision for credit losses in subsequent periods includes a credit loss expense related to the discounting effect due to the passage of time after the initial recognition of the ALLL on originated loans and leases HFI at amortized cost.

The provision for credit losses includes the credit loss expense for loans and leases HFI at amortized cost, available for sale (AFS) securities and unfunded lending commitments. The table below illustrates the composition of the provision for credit losses for each period presented, as well as the loan originations HFI in each period, which is a key driver for credit loss expense:

The provision for credit losses was $191.3 million and $178.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of 7%. The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of originated loans retained as HFI at amortized cost, partially offset by a shift in the mix of loans toward types with lower expected losses and the impact of an $8.0 million provision recognized in 2024 related to one legacy office loan within our CRE portfolio.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The activity in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) was as follows:

(1)    The first quarter of 2025 included an $8.0 million charge-off related to one office loan within our CRE portfolio, which was fully reserved for in prior periods. The CRE office loan portfolio balance was under $35 million as of December 31, 2025.

(2)    Relates to $52.0 million, $105.0 million and $78.1 million of unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table presents the components of the ALLL:

(1)    Represents the allowance for future estimated net charge-offs on existing portfolio balances.

(2)    Represents a negative allowance for expected recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.

(1)    Calculated as ALLL or gross ALLL, where applicable, to total loans and leases held for investment at amortized cost.

Net Charge-Offs

The following table presents information regarding average loan and lease balances, net charge-offs and the ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans and leases HFI at amortized cost, net, during the period. Net charge-offs are impacted by the expected timing of the charge-offs, anticipated recoveries and the age of the overall portfolio.

Nonaccrual

Loans and leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more, or earlier if management believes that the probability of collection does not warrant further accrual. Unsecured personal loans are generally charged-off when a borrower is contractually 120 days past due.

The following table presents nonaccrual loans and leases:

For additional information on the ACL and nonaccrual loans and leases, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 5. Loans and Leases Held for Investment at Amortized Cost, Net of Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense primarily consists of (i) compensation and benefits, which include salaries and wages, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) marketing, which includes costs attributable to borrower and deposit customer acquisition efforts and building general brand awareness, (iii) equipment and software, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) professional services, which primarily consist of consulting fees, and (vi) occupancy, which includes rent expense and all other costs related to occupying our office spaces.

Compensation and benefits expense increased $9.7 million, or 4%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount.

Marketing expense increased $48.8 million, or 49%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in variable marketing expenses based on higher origination volume as well as the resumption of certain marketing initiatives.

Equipment and software expense increased $5.8 million, or 11%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software license expense and cloud services.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.1 million, or 7%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of internally-developed software placed into service in 2025, partially offset by a decrease in impairment expense for internally-developed software compared to the prior year.

Professional services expense increased $10.3 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in business consulting services.

69

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

Occupancy expense increased $4.0 million, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily related to operating expenses associated with the office building purchased during the second quarter of 2025.

Other non-interest expense increased $4.2 million, or 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in miscellaneous operating expenses.

Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax expense of $41.3 million and $13.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.3% and 21.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 differs from the statutory rate due to state taxes, the favorable impact of recurring tax credits, changes in unrecognized tax benefits related to prior year tax credits, equity-based compensation, and the unfavorable impact of the non-deductible portions of executive compensation. The increase in effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets because of the decrease in combined state tax rate. On June 27, 2025, California Senate Bill 132 was signed into law, requiring that banks and financial companies transition from an equally weighted three-factor apportionment formula to a single-sales-factor apportionment formula, effective for tax years beginning in 2025. Other year-over-year changes in rate reconciliation items largely offset each other.

For the year ending December 31, 2023, we recorded a tax expense of $15.7 million representing an effective tax rate of 28.7%. The decrease in effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to favorable changes related to windfalls and shortfalls related to equity compensation.

As of December 31, 2025, we maintained a valuation allowance of $48.0 million related to certain state net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and state tax credit carryforwards. The realization and timing of any remaining state NOLs and state tax credit carryforwards is uncertain and may expire before being utilized, based primarily on the allocation of taxable income constraints to the Parent and not related to the earnings of the Company. Changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as current period income tax expense or benefit.

Income taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return. Differences between separate entity and consolidated tax returns are eliminated upon consolidation.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted. For the year ended December 31, 2025, OBBBA did not impact our effective tax rate; however, certain OBBBA provisions, including enhanced expensing, reduced current taxes payable. OBBBA has multiple effective dates, and we will continue to monitor developments and evaluate potential impacts on future periods.

Segment Information

Reportable Segments

We define operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. The measure of segment profit used by the CODM in this evaluation is net income. The CODM consists of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This information is reviewed according to the legal organizational structure of our operations with products and services presented separately for the parent bank holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Bank, which are both considered reportable segments. Income taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return.

LendingClub Bank

The LC Bank operating segment represents the national bank legal entity and reflects operating activities after its formation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR), Tangible Book Value (TBV) Per Common Share, and Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE). Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies.

We believe PPNR, is an important measure because it reflects the underlying financial performance of our business operations. PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting the provision for credit losses and income tax benefit/expense from net income.

We believe TBV Per Common Share is an important measure used to evaluate the Company’s use of equity. TBV Per Common Share is a non-GAAP financial measure representing tangible common equity for the period (common equity reduced by goodwill and customer relationship intangible assets), divided by the ending number of common shares issued and outstanding.

We believe ROTCE is an important measure because it reflects the Company's ability to generate income from its core assets. ROTCE is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing net income by the average tangible common equity for the applicable period.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of PPNR to the nearest GAAP measure:

Supervision and Regulatory Environment

We are subject to supervision, regulation, examination, enforcement and other proceedings by multiple federal banking regulatory bodies. Specifically, as a bank holding company, the Company is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). Further, as a national bank, LC Bank is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Additionally, as a depository institution with assets over $10 billion, LC Bank is subject to supervision and enforcement authority relating to federal consumer financial laws and regulations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Accordingly, we have been and continue to invest in regulatory compliance and be subject to certain parameters, obligations and/or limitations set forth by the banking regulations and regulators with respect to the operation of our business.

Further, we are subject to periodic supervision, regulation, examination, enforcement and other proceedings from various other federal and state regulatory and/or law enforcement agencies. Additionally, we are subject to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, and lawsuits alleging regulatory violations. Although historically the Company has generally resolved these matters in a manner that was not materially adverse to its financial results or business operations, no assurance can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of any of these matters in the future.

If we are found to not have complied with applicable laws, regulations or requirements, we could: (i) lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, or be required to obtain a new license or authorization, (ii) become subject to a consent order or administrative enforcement action, (iii) face lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), sanctions, penalties, or other monetary losses due to judgments, orders, or settlements, (iv) be in breach of certain contracts, which may void or cancel such contracts, (v) decide or be compelled to modify or suspend certain of our business practices and/or (vi) be unable to execute on certain Company initiatives, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to operate and/or evolve our lending marketplace and other products and/or services; any of which may harm our business or financial results.

See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision,” “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Regulation, Supervision and Compliance,” and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Operating Our Business” of this Annual Report for further discussion regarding our supervision and regulatory environment.

Capital Management

The prudent management of capital is fundamental to the successful achievement of our business initiatives. We actively review capital through a process that continuously assesses and monitors the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations.

The formation of LC Bank as a nationally chartered association and the organization of the Company as a bank holding company subjects us to various capital adequacy guidelines issued by the OCC and the FRB, including the requirement to maintain regulatory capital ratios in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (Basel III). As a Basel III standardized approach institution, we selected the one-time election to opt-out of the requirements to include all the components of accumulated other comprehensive income included in common stockholder’s equity. The minimum capital requirements under the Basel III capital framework are: a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% must be maintained above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, share repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments. In addition to these guidelines, the banking regulators may require a banking

organization to maintain capital at levels higher than the minimum ratios prescribed under the Basel III capital framework. See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision – Capital and Liquidity Requirements and Prompt Corrective Action” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 19. Regulatory Requirements” of this Annual Report for additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements.

The following table presents the actual capital amounts and ratios of the Company and LC Bank as well as LC Bank’s regulatory capital minimum and “well-capitalized” requirements (dollars in millions):

N/A – Not applicable

(1)     Required minimums presented for risk-based capital ratios include the required capital conservation buffer of 2.5%.

(2)    CET1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity as defined under U.S. GAAP and certain adjustments made in accordance with regulatory capital guidelines, including deductions for goodwill and other intangible assets.

The higher risk-based capital ratios for the Company reflect higher capital at LendingClub Corporation as compared with LC Bank.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity to meet our cash flow and collateral obligations in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. We must maintain operating liquidity to meet our expected daily and forecasted cash flow requirements, as well as contingent liquidity to meet unexpected funding requirements.

As our primary business at LC Bank involves taking deposits and originating loans, a key role of liquidity management is to ensure that customers have timely access to funds from deposits and for loans. Liquidity management also involves maintaining sufficient liquidity to repay borrowings, pay operating expenses and support extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.

LendingClub Bank Liquidity

The following table summarizes LC Bank’s primary sources of short-term liquidity as of the periods presented:

(1)    Excludes illiquid securities available for sale.

(2)    As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $4.2 billion and $3.2 billion in loans pledged under the FRB Discount Window, respectively.

(3)    As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $486.2 million in loans and $375.7 million in securities pledged to the FHLB of Des Moines. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $456.4 million in loans and $373.5 million in securities pledged to the FHLB of Des Moines.

The primary uses of LC Bank liquidity include (i) the funding/acquisition of loans and securities purchases, (ii) withdrawals, maturities and the payment of interest on deposits, (iii) compensation and benefits expense, (iv) taxes, (v) capital expenditures, including the purchase of an office building in 2025, as well as the related building improvements, and internally developed software, and (vi) costs associated with the continued development and support of our digital marketplace bank.

Deposits

Deposits represent an important source of funding for LC Bank. We offer deposit accounts to our members, which include both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits. As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of uninsured deposits totaled $1.2 billion, or 12% and 13%, respectively. Uninsured time deposits as of December 31, 2025, by remaining time to maturity, were as follows:

(1)    Consist of certificates of deposit accounts that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250 thousand per account holder.

Capital Expenditures

Net capital expenditures were $143.6 million, or 14% of total net revenue, and $54.3 million, or 7% of total net revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures in 2025 included the $74.5 million cash acquisition of the office building and related improvements to the property. Capital expenditures in 2026 are expected to be approximately $95 million, primarily driven by costs associated with the

77

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

continued development and support of our digital marketplace bank, as well as additional improvements to the office building acquired in 2025.

LendingClub Holding Company Liquidity

The primary source of liquidity at the holding company is $127.1 million and $66.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by a $50 million cash dividend that was paid by LC Bank to the holding company during the first quarter of 2025 to return a capital contribution made by the holding company to LC Bank in the second half of 2024. Additionally, the holding company has the ability to access the capital markets through additional registrations and public equity offerings.

Uses of cash at the holding company include the routine cash flow requirements as a bank holding company, such as interest and expenses (including those associated with our office leases), share repurchases, the needs of LC Bank for additional equity and, as required, its need for debt financing and support for extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.

Factors Impacting Liquidity

Our liquidity could be adversely impacted by deteriorating financial and market conditions, the inability or unwillingness of a creditor to provide funding, an idiosyncratic event (e.g., a major loss, causing a perceived or actual deterioration in our financial condition), an adverse systemic event (e.g., default or bankruptcy of a significant capital markets participant), or others.

We believe, based on our projections, that our cash on hand, liquid AFS securities, deposits, available borrowing capacity, and net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months, as well as beyond the next twelve months. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” for additional detail regarding our cash flows.

Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices, and/or other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from financial instruments including loans, securities and borrowings, all entered into for purposes other than trading.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

LendingClub Bank

Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, and the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, among other factors.

HFI loans and AFS securities at LC Bank are funded primarily through our deposit base. The majority of HFI loans and AFS securities are fixed-rate instruments over the term of the loan or security. As a result, the primary component of interest rate risk on our financial instruments arises from the impact of fluctuations in loan, security, and deposit rates on our net interest income. Therefore, we use a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on our net interest income results. The outcome of the analysis is influenced by a variety of assumptions, including the maturity profile and prepayment level of our unsecured consumer loans and expected consumer responses to changes in rates paid on non-maturity deposit products. Our assumptions are periodically calibrated to observed data and/or expected outcomes. We actively monitor the level of exposure to

78

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

movements in interest rates and have entered into interest rate hedging instruments, some of which qualify for hedge accounting treatment, to manage such risk. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information.

The following table presents the change in projected net interest income for the next twelve months due to a hypothetical instantaneous parallel change in interest rates relative to current rates:

As illustrated in the table above, net interest income is projected to decrease over the next twelve months during hypothetical rising interest rate environments primarily as a result of higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher rates earned on new loans, security purchases, and cash and cash equivalents, offset by the impact of our hedging activity. Conversely, net interest income is projected to increase over the next twelve months during hypothetical declining interest rate environments. The increase in sensitivity as of December 31, 2025 relative to the prior year is primarily due to the composition of our loans, deposits, and hedging instruments, as well as updates to certain key modeling assumptions that affect how changes in interest rates are projected to impact the repricing behavior of assets and liabilities. Furthermore, during fluctuating interest rate environments, the repricing of interest-bearing deposits is more impactful than that of repricing fixed-rate loans.

Although we believe that these measurements provide an estimate of our interest rate sensitivity, they do not account for potential changes in credit quality, balance sheet mix, size of our balance sheet, or other business developments that could affect net income. Actual results could differ materially from the estimated outcomes of our simulations.

Maturities
