LendingClub Corporation (LendingClub) was founded in 2006 and operates a leading, nationally chartered, digital marketplace bank that leverages data and technology to increase access to credit, lower borrowing costs, and improve returns on savings. LendingClub is registered as a bank holding company and operates the vast majority of its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LendingClub Bank, National Association (LC Bank).
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented.
Consolidation All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the accompanying financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.
Property, Equipment and Software, net
Property, Equipment and Software, net

The office building’s purchase price was allocated between the building and the underlying land value. Both the building and land are included within Property, Equipment and Software, Net, on the Balance Sheet. The building is carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 35 years. Land is carried at cost and not depreciated.
Lessor Accounting – Operating Leases
Lessor Accounting Operating Leases

The Company leases space in its office building to third-party tenants under operating lease agreements. The Company earns rental income from such leases which is recorded within “Other non-interest income” on the Income Statement. Rental income is comprised of (i) a lease component, which includes fixed lease payments, recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term, and (ii) a nonlease component, which includes variable lease payments, such as operating expense reimbursements, recognized in the period incurred. The Company has elected the lessor practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, to account for the lease component and nonlease component associated with each lease as a single component.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company did not adopt new accounting standards during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which improves income statement expense disclosure requirements, primarily through disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments of this standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect it to be material.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures surrounding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments of this standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect it to be material.
Revenue Recognition
Marketplace revenue consists of (i) origination fees, (ii) servicing fees, (iii) gain on sales of loans and (iv) net fair value adjustments, as described below.

Origination Fees: Origination fees are primarily fees earned related to originating and issuing unsecured personal loans that are held for sale (HFS).

Servicing Fees: The Company receives servicing fees to compensate it for servicing loans on behalf of investors, including managing payments and collections from borrowers and payments to those investors. The amount of servicing fee revenue earned is predominantly affected by the servicing rates paid by investors and the outstanding principal balance of loans serviced for investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the associated change in the fair value of servicing assets.

Gain on Sales of Loans: In connection with loan sales, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of loans based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing. Additionally, the Company recognizes transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.

Net Fair Value Adjustments: The Company records fair value adjustments on loans that are recorded at fair value, which 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.”
