Octane®, the fintech revolutionizing the buying experience for major recreational purchases, announced today that it has sold a portfolio of $200 million of fixed-rate installment powersports loans to funds managed by AB CarVal, an established global alternative investment manager. The portfolio of whole loans was newly originated by Octane's in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial®, Inc., and will be serviced by Octane's in-house loan servicer, Roadrunner Account Services, LLC.

This is the second transaction between Octane and AB CarVal. Last month, the companies announced the close of a $500 million forward-flow deal.

Octane will leverage the proceeds from this sale to capitalize on the significant momentum it has been seeing in its business. In September, the company surpassed $5 billion in aggregate originations, and it announced its entrance into the marine market in October.

"We're excited to strengthen our relationship with AB CarVal, one of the world's preeminent global asset managers, through this second transaction," said Steve Fernald, President and CFO of Octane. "By continuing to successfully execute on our capital markets strategy, we are better able to support our customers as well as our OEM and dealer partners through our fast, user-friendly, full-spectrum financing experience."

"We continue to be excited about Octane's differentiated underwriting capabilities and believe that specialized consumer whole loan portfolios offer compelling opportunities for those with deep expertise and experience in asset-based finance," said P.J. Collins, director with AB CarVal.
