Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies
Leases
We primarily lease our office premises under multi-year, non-cancelable operating leases. Our operating leases have terms expiring from 2022 to 2040, exclusive of renewal option periods. Our office leases contain renewal option periods ranging from one to ten years from the expiration dates. These options were not recognized as part of our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, as we did not conclude at the commencement date of the leases that we were reasonably certain to exercise these options. However, in our normal course of business, we expect our office leases to be renewed, amended or replaced by other leases. Associated with these leases, we obtained non-cash operating lease ROU assets in exchange for new
operating lease liabilities of $764 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which were related to our recent acquisitions. Our finance leases expire in 2040.
Lease Concession
The lessor for one of our operating leases allowed us to defer payments on the lease beginning in April 2020 as a result of our inability to use the leased premises during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the concession period, we did not recognize operating lease cost and we did not remeasure the right-of-use asset or lease liability. We regained access to the leased premises in September 2021 and resumed lease amortization at that time. In the absence of this concession, we would have recognized additional operating lease cost of $566 and $1,132 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, residual investments and loans. We hold cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in accounts at regulated domestic financial institutions in amounts that may exceed FDIC insured amounts. We believe these institutions are of high credit quality.
We are dependent on third-party funding sources to originate loans. Additionally, we sell loans to various third parties. We have historically sold loans to a limited pool of third-party buyers. No individual third-party buyer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated total net revenues for any of the periods presented.
The Company is exposed to default risk on borrower loans originated and financed by us. There is no single borrower or group of borrowers that comprise a significant concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio. Likewise, the Company is not overly concentrated within a group of channel partners or other customers, with the exception of our distribution of personal loan residual interests in our sponsored personal loan securitizations, which we market to third parties, and the aforementioned whole loan buyers. Given we have a limited number of prospective buyers for our personal loan securitization residual interests, this might result in us utilizing a significant amount of our own capital to fund future residual interests in personal loan securitizations, or impact the execution of future securitizations if we are limited in our own ability to invest in the residual interest portion of future securitizations, or find willing buyers for securitization residual interests.
Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In limited instances, the Company may be subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the final outcome, defending lawsuits, claims, government investigations, and proceedings in which we are involved is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that we will receive favorable final outcomes.
SoFi Stadium. In September 2019, we established a 20-year partnership with LA Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California (“StadCo”), through a naming and sponsorship agreement, which, among other things, provides SoFi with exclusive naming rights of SoFi Stadium and an official partnership with the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams and with the performance venue, which shares a roof with the stadium, and the surrounding planned entertainment district, which is anticipated to include office space, retail space and hotel and dining options. In September 2020, we discussed certain provisions of the naming and sponsorship agreement with StadCo in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on these discussions, SoFi paid sponsorship fees for the initial contract year (July 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021) of $9.8 million, of which $6.5 million was paid during 2020 and $3.3 million was paid in January 2021.
The parties are revisiting the sponsorship fees to determine the ultimate amount payable for the initial contract year and have agreed to seek to engage a third party with expertise in the valuation of sports media rights and sports sponsorship or promotional rights (“Valuation Expert”) to perform an evaluation of the delivered value during the initial contract year. The valuation has not begun as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, the Company is exposed to additional potential sales and marketing expense of up to $12.7 million, which reflects the difference between the actual sponsorship fees paid during the initial contract year and the commitment for the initial contract year made under the Naming and Sponsorship Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, we are unable to estimate the amount of reasonably possible additional costs we may incur
with respect to this contingency. Moreover, we have not determined that the likelihood of additional cost is probable. Therefore, as of June 30, 2022, we have not recorded additional expense related to this contingency.
Juarez et al v. SoFi Lending Corp. During January 2022, the parties advised the court that they had reached agreement on nearly all material terms of the settlement and were in the process of documenting the settlement and accompanying class action settlement notice and claim form. The settlement agreement was fully executed in April 2022 and the plaintiffs have moved for preliminary approval of the settlement. The proposed class settlement, which contemplates an aggregate payment by SoFi in an immaterial amount, remains subject to final court review and approval, which we expect to occur in 2023.
In re Renren Inc. Derivative Litigation. In April 2022, the Supreme Court of New York held a mediation with the plaintiffs and announced that, given the parties' inability to reach an agreement, the Court is going to approve a settlement over objections. On June 9, 2022, the Court issued a final order and judgment approving the settlement. During July 2022, two sets of shareholders that had objected to the settlement filed notices of appeal from the Court’s order and judgment approving the settlement. We do not expect these objections ultimately to affect the provision in the settlement agreement in which all claims against Social Finance are dismissed with prejudice.
Guarantees
We have three types of repurchase obligations that we account for as financial guarantees, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the event of a repurchase, we are typically required to pay the purchase price of the loans transferred.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company accrued liabilities within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of $4,844 and $7,441, respectively, related to our estimated repurchase obligation, with the corresponding charges recorded within noninterest income—loan origination and sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount associated with loans sold that were subject to the terms and conditions of our repurchase obligations totaled $6.5 billion.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $9.1 million in letters of credit outstanding with financial institutions, which were issued for the purpose of securing certain of the Company’s operating lease obligations. A portion of the letters of credit was collateralized by $3.1 million of the Company’s cash, which is included within restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a total of $9.7 million in letters of credit outstanding with the FHLB, which serve as collateral for public deposits and were collateralized by loans.
Mortgage Banking Regulatory Mandates
The Company is subject to certain state-imposed minimum net worth requirements for the states in which the Company is engaged in the business of a residential mortgage lender. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all minimum net worth requirements and, therefore, has not accrued any liabilities related to fines or penalties.
Retirement Plans
The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company’s contributions to the plan are discretionary. The Company has not made any contributions to the plan to date.
