For the first quarter of 2025, total fee-based revenue reached a record of $315.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 67%. This was driven by strong performance from our Loan Platform Business, as well as origination fee revenue, referral fee revenue, interchange fee revenue and brokerage fee revenue. Together, the Financial Services and Technology Platform segments generated $406.5 million of net revenue, an increase of 66% from the prior year period.

SoFi reported its sixth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. For the first quarter of 2025, GAAP net income reached $71.1 million and diluted earnings per share reached $0.06.

Net interest income of $498.7 million for the first quarter was up 24% year-over-year. This was driven by a 23% increase in average interest-earning assets and a 82 basis points decrease in cost of funds, partially offset by a 55 basis points decrease in average asset yields year-over-year.

For the first quarter, net interest margin of 6.01% increased 10 basis points sequentially from 5.91%, primarily due to lower cost of funds. The average rate on deposits was 189 basis points lower than that of warehouse facilities, which translates to approximately $515 million of annual interest expense savings.

In addition to our Loan Platform Business, SoFi continued to see healthy growth in interchange fee revenue in the first quarter, up 90% year-over-year, respectively, as a result of nearly $16 billion in total annualized spend in the quarter across Money and Credit Card.
