SoFi said the Biden administration's decision to extend a moratorium on monthly student loan payments to January 31 from September 30 will reduce student loan refinancing revenue by $40 million.
Despite the weaker-than-expected results, SoFi experienced strong growth in the second quarter. Total members jumped 113% year-over-year to 2.6 million, while total products increased 123% to 3.7 million. The financial services segment, which includes SoFi's investment platform, saw revenue surge 608% to $17 million.
"We drove our 8th straight quarter of accelerating member growth, with even faster growth in cross-buying from existing members, increased our Galileo account base to nearly 79 million, and raised nearly $2 billion in our successful transition to a public company," SoFi CEO Anthony Noto said.
SoFi reiterated its full-year 2021 guidance of adjusted net revenue of $980 million and adjusted EBITDA of $27 million. Meanwhile, analysts expect SoFi's 2021 revenue to come in at $982 million.
SoFi completed its SPAC merger with Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital in early June.
