FY25 financial performance

The earnings progression: revenue 4-yr CAGR ~38% — exceptional. Op income inflection from -$319M FY22 → +$1.68B FY25 (massive). EPS $0.39 stable Y/Y as op margin expanded but net income flat reflects share dilution + deposit growth funding.

FCF -$4.0B FY25 reflects deposit absorption + lending growth (typical for banking model — assets grow before income).

Total debt $1.82B (-43% YoY) — significantly de-levered.

  • Capex: $-242M FY25 (5% of revenue, +48% YoY).
  • Dividends: $0 (no dividend).

FY26-28 outlook (per Q4 2025 call, 2026-01-30)

FY26 frameworkDetail
Member growthAt least +30% YoY
Adj net revenue~$4.655B (+30% YoY)
Adj EBITDA~$1.6B (+30%+)
Adj EBITDA margin~34%
Adj net income~$825M
Adj EPS$0.60
LT (2025-2028) net revenue CAGR≥ 30%
LT (2025-2028) adj EPS CAGR38-42%

The +30% revenue + 38-42% EPS CAGR outlook implies operating leverage materially expanding. Path-to-profitable-scale is the structural story.

Key risks

  • Credit quality / loan losses. Lending segment subject to credit cycle. Personal loans + student loans pricing matters.
  • Member growth durability. 30%+ CAGR depends on continued cross-sell + brand traction.
  • Crypto / SoFi USD regulatory. Crypto + stablecoin businesses face regulatory uncertainty.
  • Bank capital + funding costs. Bank holding company structure requires capital management.
  • Competition. Robinhood + Cash App + traditional banks compete in digital banking.
  • Product launch execution. Smart Card + Business Banking + Crypto products rolling out — execution risk.
  • Deposit growth. $4B FCF outflow reflects deposit + lending growth — unprofitable at scale if not balanced.

Bottom line

SOFI FY25 is the inflection-to-profit-at-scale year: revenue +29%, op income $1.68B (vs $233M FY24, +621%), 1M new members Q4 record, FS+Tech 57% of revenue +61%. FY26 adj net revenue $4.655B (+30%) / adj EPS $0.60 / adj EBITDA $1.6B continues compounding. 2025-2028 30% revenue CAGR + 38-42% EPS CAGR. Risks are credit + member growth + regulatory + competition. Highest-quality digital fintech compounder mid-trajectory.
