Broad Arrow Capital BAC provides financing solutions to qualified collectors and businesses by structuring loans secured by collector cars. The loans underwritten by BAC include term loans and short-term bridge financings. The loans underwritten by BAC are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Notes receivable".

Loans carry either a fixed or variable rate of interest and typically require periodic interest payments over the life of the loan with the principal amount due at maturity. Loans have an initial maturity of up to two years, often with an option for the borrower to renew for one year increments, provided the borrower remains in good standing, including maintaining a specified targeted loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio for the loan. As of June 30, 2025, the loans underwritten by BAC were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, with the carrying values of the loans approximating their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturities and the variable interest rates associated with most loans. The lending activities of BAC are funded, in part, with borrowings drawn from the BAC Credit Facility, with the remainder funded by the Company's available liquidity. Refer to Note 15 — Debt for additional information regarding the BAC Credit Facility.

BAC aims to mitigate the risk associated with a potential devaluation in collateral by targeting an LTV ratio of 65% or less (i.e., the principal loan amount divided by the estimated value of the collateral at the time of underwriting). The LTV ratio is reassessed on a quarterly basis or if the loan is renewed. The LTV ratio is reassessed more frequently if there is a material change in the circumstances related to the loan, including if there is a material change in the value of the collateral, a material change in the borrower's disposal plans for the collateral, or if an event of default occurs. If, as a result of this reassessment, the LTV ratio increases above the target level, the borrower may be asked to make principal payments and/or post sufficient additional collateral to reduce the LTV ratio as a condition of future financing, renewal, or to avoid a default. In the event of a default by a borrower, BAC is entitled to sell the collateral to recover the outstanding principal, accrued interest balance, and any expenses incurred with respect to the recovery process.

Management considers the valuation of the underlying collateral and the LTV ratio to be the two most critical credit quality indicators for the loans made by BAC. In estimating the value of the underlying collateral for BAC's loans, management utilizes its expertise in the collector car market and considers an array of factors impacting the current and expected sale value of each car including the year, make, model, mileage, history, and in the case of classic cars, the provenance, quality of restoration (if applicable), the originality of the body, chassis, and mechanical components, and comparable market transaction values.

The repayment of BAC's loans can be adversely impacted by a borrower's deteriorating financial circumstances, a decline in the collector car market in general or in the value of the collateral, which may be concentrated within certain marques, vintages, or types of cars. In addition, in situations when BAC's claim on the collateral is subject to a legal dispute, the ability to realize proceeds from the collateral may be limited or delayed.

As of June 30, 2025, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $84.5 million, of which $69.2 million was classified within current assets and $15.3 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, BAC's net notes receivable balance was $57.0 million, of which $45.4 million was classified within current assets and $11.6 million was classified within long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The classification of a loan as current or long-term is based on the contractual maturity date of the loan as of the balance sheet date.

The table below provides the aggregate LTV ratio for BAC's loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Management considers a loan to be past due when an interest payment is not paid within 10 business days of the monthly due date, or if the principal amount is not repaid by the contractual maturity date. Typically, a loan becomes past due only for a short period of time during which the loan is renewed or collateral is sold to satisfy the borrower's obligations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of past due principal and interest payments was not material.
A non-accrual loan is a loan for which future finance revenue is not recorded due to management's determination that it is probable that future interest on the loan will not be collectible. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any accrued interest receivable deemed not collectible is reversed against finance revenue. Any cash receipts subsequently received on non-accrual loans are first applied to reduce the recorded principal balance of the loan, with any proceeds in excess of the principal balance then applied to interest and expenses owed by the borrower. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no non-accrual loans.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses related to the BAC loan portfolio was not material based on management's quarterly risk assessment, which takes into consideration a number of factors including the level of historical losses for similar loans, the quality of the collateral, the LTV ratio of the loans, management's overall assessment of the current circumstances and risks related to each loan, and, to a lesser extent, the circumstances related to each borrower.
Other Notes Receivable From time-to-time, Broad Arrow provides financing for its auction and private sale buyers, retaining a security interest in the purchased vehicle. The resulting loans are typically interest-bearing with required periodic interest payments and, in certain cases, required periodic principal payments. As of June 30, 2025, the related outstanding loan balance was $12.8 million and was classified within current Notes Receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Broad Arrow also makes consignor advances secured by vehicle(s) that are contractually committed, in the near term, to be offered for sale at auction. Consignor advances allow sellers to receive funds upon consignment for an auction that will occur up to one year in the future and normally have short-term maturities. In the event the vehicle(s) are not successfully sold at auction, the consignor can repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the consignor advance or convert the consignor advance to a BAC loan. As of June 30, 2025, outstanding consignor advances were $1.5 million and were classified within current Notes Receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under certain circumstances, Broad Arrow also provides loans to certain car dealers to finance the purchase of collectible cars, retaining a security interest in the purchased vehicle. In these situations, Broad Arrow acquires a partial ownership interest in the car in addition to providing the loan. Upon the eventual sale of the acquired car, the loan is repaid. As of June 30, 2025, this outstanding loan balance was $2.6 million and was recorded within long-term Notes Receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

These loans are classified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows within Operating Activities as they are made in support of Broad Arrow's auction and private sale activities.
Concentration Risk As of June 30, 2025, three borrowers each had loan balances that exceeded 10% of the total notes receivable balance. These loans total $33.3 million, representing 33% of the total loan portfolio. The collateral related to these loans was $50.7 million, resulting in an aggregate LTV ratio of 66%.
