Income Taxes Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $0.4 million, resulting in a 286% effective income tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $1.8 million and reported consolidated income before income taxes of $10.3 million, resulting in a 17.1% effective income tax rate. As OppFi-LLC was classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, OppFi-LLC did not record a federal income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Because no income tax was recorded prior to the Closing Date, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million and reported consolidated income before taxes of $31.1 million and $73.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.3% and 1.0%, respectively.

OppFi’s effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the pro forma 2021 differ from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the noncontrolling interest in the Up-C partnership structure, nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, and discrete tax items. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Gray Rock SPV LLC’s income was included in the noncontrolling interest adjustment, because its activity was included in income before income taxes, but excluded from taxation at the Company as Gray Rock SPV LLC is not owned by the Company or OppFi-LLC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were two discrete items recorded, which consist of a $0.5 million adjustment related to a prior period stock compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a $0.1 million adjustment related to the vesting of RSUs and the calculated tax shortfall during the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the impact of these two discrete items increased the effective tax rate by 5.8%. Excluding the aforementioned discrete items, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 would have been 11.3%.

OppFi is subject to a 21% federal income tax rate on its activities and its distributive share of income from OppFi-LLC, as well as various state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2022, OppFi owned 13.0% of the outstanding units of OppFi-LLC and considers appropriate tax accounting only on this portion of OppFi-LLC’s activity. The Company does not have an ownership interest in Gray Rock SPV LLC; as such, there is no tax accounting with regards to this VIE. Additionally, OppFi’s income tax rate varies from the 21% statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to a permanent difference related to the adjustment of the warrant liabilities recorded by OppFi. This fair value adjustment of the warrant liabilities represents a large portion of OppFi’s pre-tax book income or loss and is a permanent difference between GAAP and taxable income, which impacts OppFi’s effective income tax rate.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States to provide emergency assistance to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the impact of the CARES Act was immaterial to the Company’s tax provision. However, under the CARES Act, the Company is deferring the employer portion of payroll tax payments through December 31, 2022.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, and there were also no amounts accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
