Fair Value of Financial Instruments
NOTE 17 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company holds certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and beneficial interests in securitizations for which it elected the fair value option. A description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's methodologies are included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following tables are a summary of fair value measurements and hierarchy level at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Money Market Funds

Money market funds consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are classified in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Beneficial Interests in Securitizations

Beneficial interests in securitizations include rated notes and certificates of the securitization trusts, the same securities as issued to other investors as described in Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities. Beneficial interests in securitizations are initially treated as Level 2 assets when the securitization transaction occurs in close proximity to the end of the period and there is a lack of observable changes in the economic inputs. When the securitization transaction does not occur in close proximity to the end of the period and there have been observable changes in the economic inputs, beneficial interests in securitizations are classified as Level 3.
The Company's beneficial interests in securitizations include rated notes and certificates and other assets, all of which are classified as Level 3 due to the lack of observable market data. The Company determines the fair value of its rated notes based on non-binding broker quotes. The non-binding broker quotes are based on models that consider the prevailing interest rates, recent market transactions, and current business conditions. The Company determines the fair value of its certificates and other assets using a combination of non-binding market quotes and internally developed discounted cash flow models. The discounted cash flow models use discount rates based on prevailing interest rates and the characteristics of the specific instruments. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the range of discount rates were 5.6% to 10.0% and 6.0% to 10.0%, respectively, and the weighted average of discount rates were 9.3% and 9.7%, respectively. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs to the models could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The Company elected the fair value option on its beneficial interests in securitizations, which allows it to recognize changes in the fair value of these assets in the period the fair value changes. Changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests in securitizations are reflected in other expense (income), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For beneficial interests in securitizations measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company's transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period on a quarterly basis. There were no transfers out of Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

The Company sells certain of its beneficial interests in securitizations that are not required to be retained by the Risk Retention Rules. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not sell any beneficial interests in securitizations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold beneficial interests in securitizations for a purchase price totaling $9 million.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 beneficial interests in securitizations measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Purchase Price Adjustment Receivables

The Company's purchase price adjustment receivables are carried at fair value and classified as other assets and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the MPSA, the purchaser will make future cash payments to the Company based on the performance of the finance receivables sold. The fair value of the purchase price adjustment receivables are determined based on the extent to which the Company’s estimated performance of the underlying finance receivables exceeds a mutually agreed upon performance threshold of the underlying finance receivables as of measurement dates specified in the MPSA. The Company develops its estimate of future cumulative losses based on the historical performance of finance receivables it originated with similar characteristics as well as general macro-economic trends. The Company then utilizes a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of the expected future payment amounts. Due to the lack of observable market data these receivables are classified as Level 3. The adjustments to the fair value of the purchase price adjustment receivables were a loss of less than $1 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and a loss of less than $1 million and a gain of less than $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are reflected in other expense (income), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Root Warrants

In October 2021, the Company purchased Series A convertible preferred shares in Root, Inc. ("Root"), an equity security that does not have a readily determinable fair value. The Company elected to measure this investment using a measurement alternative pursuant to the accounting standards and recorded the investment at its cost of $126 million, which will subsequently be adjusted for observable price changes. The Company considered all relevant transactions since the date of its investment and has not recorded any impairments or upward or downward adjustments to the carrying amount of its investment in Root, as there have not been changes in the observable price of its equity interest through June 30, 2025.

Also in October 2021, the Company entered into a commercial agreement with Root, under which the Root auto insurance products were to be embedded into the Company's e-commerce platform. In accordance with the provisions of the commercial agreement, the Company received eight tranches of warrants to purchase shares of Root's Class A common stock (the "Root Warrants"). On September 1, 2022, the integrated auto insurance solution, which embedded into the Company's e-commerce platform, was completed. The first tranche of Root Warrants, consisting of 2.4 million shares of Root's Class A common stock, became exercisable upon completion of the integrated solution, and is considered a derivative instrument. The second tranche of Root Warrants, consisting of 3.2 million shares of Root's Class A common stock, became exercisable on November 14, 2023, and the third tranche, consisting of 1.6 million shares of Root's Class A common stock, became exercisable on May 3, 2024. Both the second and third tranche of the Root Warrants became exercisable upon the achievement of certain insurance sales metrics through the integrated solution, and are considered derivative investments. The other tranches vest based on a combination of the arrival of certain dates and further insurance product sales through the integrated solution and are considered derivative instruments. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of these Root Warrants, which are classified as Level 3. Under this Monte Carlo simulation, the primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Root Warrants was the expected volatility of Root's class A common stock, which was implied from the historical volatility of their stock. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the expected volatility utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation was 100% for both periods.

At contract inception, the Company recognized an asset of $30 million for the Root Warrants and deferred revenue, classified in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. In 2022, the Company determined it was probable that the volume of insurance products required to earn the Root Warrants would be achieved and recorded an additional $75 million of Root Warrants and deferred revenue based on the contract inception date fair value as determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the deferred revenue balance was $46 million and $57 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $6 million and $5 million in Root Warrant revenue, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 , the Company recognized $11 million and $10 million in Root Warrant revenue, respectively. The deferred revenue is recognized over the expected contract performance period within other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents changes in the Company's Level 3 Root Warrants measured at fair value:

In relation to the Root Warrants, the Company recognized decreases in fair value of $35 million and $22 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and increases in fair value of $123 million and $53 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in other expense (income), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related party approximate fair value due to their respective short-term maturities. The carrying value of the short-term revolving facilities were determined to approximate fair value due to their short-term duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period. The carrying value of sale leasebacks were determined to approximate fair value as each of the transactions were entered into at prevailing interest rates during each respective period and they have not materially changed as of or during the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The carrying value of the financing of beneficial interests in securitizations was determined to approximate fair value because in the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral of the financing, the repurchase price of the pledged collateral will be increased by the amount of the decline.

The fair value of the Senior Notes, which are not carried at fair value on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for the identical liability. The fair value of the Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:

June 30,
2025		December 31,
2024
(in millions)
Carrying value, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized premium, and accrued PIK interest
$4,644 $4,549 
Fair value$5,039 $5,050 

The fair value of finance receivables, which are not carried at fair value on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was determined utilizing the estimated sales price based on the historical experience of the Company. Such fair value measurement of the finance receivables, net is considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and fair value of the finance receivables as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

June 30,
2025		December 31,
