Open Lending announced the launch of its ApexOne Auto platform on November 6 2025, a comprehensive decision‑making engine that integrates automation, data analytics, and explainable AI to help lenders evaluate borrowers across the full credit spectrum. The platform is positioned to replace fragmented tools and deliver faster, more consistent credit decisions while preserving risk controls.
The company also released its Q3 2025 earnings on the same day. Revenue rose to $22.15 million, matching consensus estimates but falling 12% from the $25.31 million reported in Q2 2025. Net income declined to $0.01 per share, a 0% change from the prior quarter but 0% versus the $0.01 EPS forecast, indicating a flat performance amid higher operating expenses.
Management attributed the revenue decline to a 4% drop in the near‑prime auto‑loan segment, offset by a 2% increase in the high‑credit segment. Operating expenses grew 6% due to investments in the new platform and expanded sales initiatives, which helped keep margins stable at 18% of revenue. The company’s guidance for Q4 2025 remains unchanged, with revenue expected to be $21.5 million and EPS of $0.01.
CEO Jessica Buss emphasized that ApexOne Auto will enable lenders to serve the entire borrower spectrum, reducing risk exposure and expanding fee revenue. “By providing a single, transparent decision engine, we give our partners the confidence to extend credit to a broader customer base without compromising underwriting standards,” Buss said.
Analysts noted that while the earnings were flat, the launch of ApexOne Auto signals a strategic shift toward higher‑margin technology services. The company’s share repurchase program and focus on cost discipline suggest management is positioning Open Lending for long‑term profitability in a competitive auto‑lending market.
