Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and nature of operations: OppFi Inc. (“OppFi”), collectively with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a tech-enabled digital finance platform that partners with banks to offer financial products and services to everyday Americans. The Company’s primary product is its installment loan product, OppLoans.

OppFi is organized as a C corporation that owns an equity interest in Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi-LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, in what is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership C corporation (“Up-C”) structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the Company are held by OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries. OppFi’s only direct assets consist of Class A common units of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi Units”). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, OppFi owned approximately 31.7% and 25.6% of the OppFi Units, respectively, and controlled OppFi-LLC as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi A&R LLCA”). All remaining OppFi Units (“Retained OppFi Units”) are beneficially owned by the members of OppFi-LLC (“Members”). OppFi Shares, LLC (“OFS”), a Delaware limited liability company, holds a controlling voting interest in OppFi through its ownership of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of OppFi (“Class V Voting Stock”) in an amount equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units and therefore has the ability to control OppFi-LLC.

OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Utah-chartered banks (“Banks”) insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. After an initial holding period, OppFi-LLC has committed to acquire the participation rights to the finance receivables originated by the Banks. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed wholly owned subsidiaries of OppFi-LLC to sell these rights to OppFi-LLC’s wholly owned, bankruptcy protected entities (“SPEs”), which in turn, pledges the participation rights to its lenders.

As part of OppFi-LLC’s overall funding strategy, OppFi-LLC entered into credit agreements with unrelated third parties. Under the terms of these credit agreements, the SPEs use the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of OppFi-LLC, and the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. These transactions are accounted for as senior debt in which these variable interest entities (“VIEs”) hold all assets on their balance sheet, which collateralize their debt.

On April 15, 2022, OppFi-LLC entered into agreements with Midtown Madison Management LLC, an unrelated third party, and Gray Rock SPV LLC, an entity formed by third-party investors for the purpose of purchasing participation interests in receivables from Gray Rock Finance LLC. OppFi-LLC also entered into a total return swap transaction with Midtown Madison Management LLC, providing credit protection related to a reference pool of consumer receivables financed by Midtown Madison Management LLC.

Basis of presentation and consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of OppFi Inc. and OppFi-LLC with its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest entity or voting interest model. All entities are first considered under the VIE model.

VIE Model

The Company consolidates a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Generally, the primary beneficiary of a VIE is a reporting entity that has (a) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s performance (“primary beneficiary power”), and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“significant variable interest”). On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether it is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

To assess whether the Company has the primary beneficiary power, it considers the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and determine whether the Company or another party, if any, has the power to direct these activities of the VIE. The Company also considers the nature, purpose and activities of the VIE and the Company’s involvement, including exposure to loss, with the VIE.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that all entities subject to the consolidations guidance are VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. While Gray Rock SPV LLC is not owned by OppFi-LLC, Gray Rock SPV LLC was determined to be a VIE. The Company directs the activities of Gray Rock SPV LLC that most significantly impact economic
performance. Additionally, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the Gray Rock SPV LLC that could potentially be significant. As the primary beneficiary of Gray Rock SPV LLC, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of Gray Rock SPV LLC.

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and operations and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The judgments, assumptions, and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and qualitative factors. The areas subject to significant estimation techniques include, but are not limited to, the determination of fair value of installment finance receivables and warrants, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and income tax provision. For the aforementioned estimates, it is reasonably possible the recorded amounts or related disclosures could significantly change in the near future as new information is available.

Reclassifications: Certain line items in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years end December 31, 2024 and 2023, have been reclassified to conform to the comparative period presentation for the year end December 31, 2025, specifically the presentation on the finance receivables acquired and originated and repayments and the borrowings and payments of the Company’s senior debt - revolving lines of credit.

Finance receivables acquired and originated and repayments were previously presented on a net basis that excluded transferred balance on refinanced loans and are now presented on a gross basis to include transferred balance on refinanced loans. These reclassifications have no effect on net cash used in investing activities or on total cash flows for the periods presented.

Borrowings and payments of the Company’s senior debt - revolving lines of credit were previously presented on a net basis as net advance (payments) of senior debt - revolving lines of credit and are now presented on a gross basis as borrowings of senior debt - revolving lines of credit and payments of senior debt - revolving lines of credit. These reclassifications have no effect on net cash used in financing activities or on total cash flows for the periods presented.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes interest income based on the interest method over the contractual life of the installment finance receivable. The Company discontinues and reverses the accrual of interest income on installment finance receivables at the earlier of 60 days past due based on a recency basis or 90 days past due based on a contractual basis. The accrual of income is not resumed until the account is current on a recency or contractual basis, at which time management considers collectability to be probable.

Cash: The Company classifies all cash accounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties as cash. All cash accounts are held in financially insured institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal for these accounts.

Restricted cash: Restricted cash consists of the following: (1) cash required to be held on reserve; (2) cash required to be held in blocked accounts held by the VIEs; and (3) cash required to be held on deposit in connection with the bank partnership arrangements. All cash accounts are held in financially insured institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal for these accounts.

Participation rights purchase obligations: OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Banks insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the bank partnership agreements, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. The issuing Bank earns interest during an initial hold period and owns the economic interest in the finance receivables. After the initial holding period, OppFi-LLC is committed to acquire participation rights in the economic interest in the finance receivables originated by the Banks, net of bank partnership retention, plus accrued interest (“Participation Rights”). OppFi-LLC also provides certain services for these receivables in its capacity of sub-servicer pursuant to the terms of the servicing agreement between the Bank and OppFi-LLC. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries which acquire the Participation Rights and sell these rights to certain of the other OppFi subsidiaries, which in turn, pledge the Participation Rights to their respective lenders. The Company accounts for the Participation Rights as a finance receivable. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the Banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated, and OppFi-LLC’s Participation Rights are reduced by the percentage of the finance receivables retained by the Banks. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, all finance receivables were originated through the bank partnership arrangements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unpaid principal balance of finance receivables outstanding for purchase was $9.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively.
Finance receivables at fair value: The Company’s installment finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the changes in fair value are included in change in fair value of finance receivables in the consolidated statements of operations. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued interest are included in finance receivables at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included in interest and loan related income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s charge-off policy was based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan by loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when the Company receives notification of a customer bankruptcy, or is otherwise deemed uncollectible.

Delinquency: The Company determines the past due status on a recency basis, which is defined as the last time a qualifying payment is made on an account. Finance receivables are considered delinquent at 30 days or more past due.

Settlement receivable: In accordance with the Company’s credit agreement with UMB Bank, N.A., customer payments are collected by the Company and then deposited into a commercial bank account held by UMB Bank, N.A. on behalf of the Company until the Company settled with UMB Bank, N.A. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts against the settlement receivable as potential write-offs were deemed immaterial. In connection with the Company’s termination of its Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2022 (as amended, the “Prior SPV IX Agreement”) effective on September 29, 2025, customer payments are no longer collected by the Company and then deposited into a commercial bank account held by UMB Bank, N.A.

Equity method investment: The Company accounts for its equity method investments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for equity investment in a company over which the Company has significant influence but does not own a controlling financial interest. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment, including transaction costs, is recorded at cost and the investment is subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share of the investee’s earnings or losses and amortization of basis differences. Basis differences represent differences between the cost of the investment and the underlying equity in net assets of the investment and are amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets that gave rise to them. Equity method goodwill is not amortized or tested for impairment; instead the equity method investment is tested for impairment.

On July 31, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired a 35% equity interest in Bitty Holdings, LLC (“Bitty”) for (i) a cash payment of $15.2 million and (ii) 734,851 OppFi Units, valued at approximately $2.8 million as of the Acquisition Date. The Company also incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.7 million. The Company also holds call options issued by Bitty, which entitle it to purchase additional equity interests of 30% and 35% within a specific time period from the date that is three and six years from the Acquisition Date, respectively, at six times the trailing twelve months post-tax earnings. The Company determined that it does not have a controlling financial interest in Bitty but does exercise significant influence and therefore, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The basis difference between the Company’s carrying value and proportionate share of Bitty’s book value is primarily attributable to identifiable intangible assets totaling $2.8 million and equity method goodwill totaling $13.9 million as of the Acquisition Date. The identifiable intangible assets will be amortized over four years. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets of $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was included in income from equity method investment in the consolidated statements of operations.
Debt issuance costs: Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized based on the contractual terms of the related debt agreements using the straight-line method. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and equipment: Furniture, fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements computed under both straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax purposes, respectively, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets generally as follows: furniture and fixtures - five years; office equipment - three years; and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the term of the lease.

Capitalized technology: Software development costs related to internal-use software are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage that meet the criteria for capitalization are capitalized, and amortized when the software is ready for its intended use, using the straight-line basis, over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally two years. The Company capitalized software costs associated with application development totaling $17.1 million and $12.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company also capitalized interest associated with
application development totaling $1.8 million and $0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $4.7 million, $9.0 million, and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at its inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is typically the incremental borrowing rate, as most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases in lease payments that do not depend on changes in index rates or payments based on usage, are not included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for the purpose of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities, to the extent the non-lease components are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments. Additionally, the Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases, defined as having an initial term of twelve months or less, from the consolidated balance sheets.

Transfer and servicing of financial assets: After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transfers of assets for debt purposes have been accounted for as secured and senior borrowings and the related assets and borrowings are retained on the consolidated balance sheets and no gain or loss has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants: The Company’s warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment due to a provision in the warrant agreement governing such warrants (“Warrant Agreement”) related to certain tender or exchange offer provisions; as such, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value reported in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations. Redeemable warrants exercisable for OppFi’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) are valued at market price based on the observable traded price in an active market (“Public Warrants”). The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model to value the outstanding private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering at each reporting period.

Tax receivable agreement liability: Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2021, by and among FG New America Acquisition Corp. (“FGNA”), OppFi-LLC, OFS, and Todd Schwartz (“Members’ Representative”), in his capacity as the representative of the Members immediately prior to the closing (“Closing”), OppFi entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the Members and the Members’ Representative. The TRA provides for payment to the Members of 90% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. OppFi-LLC will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of Retained OppFi Units occurs. The remaining 10% cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by the Company.

In general, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of the Company for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization or depreciation of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company is able to reduce an actual cash tax liability by the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. OppFi began to make payments to the Members pursuant to the TRA in 2025.

The Company accounts for the effects of the basis increases as follows:

the Company records an increase in deferred tax assets for the income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state income tax rates at the date of the exchange;

the Company evaluates the ability to realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset based on an analysis that will consider expectations of future earnings among other things. If the Company determines that the full benefit is not likely to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the amount of the deferred tax assets to an amount that is likely to be realized.

The Company records obligations under the TRA at the gross undiscounted amount of the expected future payments as an increase to liabilities and the realizable deferred tax asset with an offset to additional paid-in capital and/or tax benefit.
Loss contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Treasury stock: The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for the reissuance of treasury stock on the first-in, first out method. The Company did not reissue or retire treasury stock during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Stock-based compensation: The Company measures stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of awards as determined on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is the requisite service period, beginning on the grant date. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The fair value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires estimates of highly subjective assumptions, which affect the fair value of stock options. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance stock units is estimated using the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

Loan origination costs: Loan origination costs related to the origination of installment finance receivables recognized at fair value are expensed when incurred. Direct costs incurred for the origination of these finance receivables included underwriting fees, employee salaries and benefits directly related to the origination of the loan and program fees. Loan origination costs also included direct costs incurred for directly acquiring a customer.

Exit costs, net: Costs associated with exit activities include contract termination costs and other costs associated with exit activities. In January 2024, the Company completed the previously disclosed wind down and exited its OppFi Card product. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, the Company recognized a liability for $2.9 million for costs related to contracts associated with its OppFi Card product that will continue to be incurred under these contracts for their remaining term without economic benefit to the Company. The Company recorded these costs and changes in the amount of estimate cash flow in exit costs, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its bank partners that discharged the Company’s responsibility to settle a previously recognized liability for costs related to a contract associated with its OppFi Card product, which resulted in the reversal of previously recognized expenses of $1.5 million.

In May 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its vendors to terminate its remaining contract associated with its OppFi Card product. The agreement required the Company to pay contractual liability totaling $0.4 million. The agreement also discharged the Company’s remaining contractual liability of $0.1 million, which resulted in the reversal of previously recognized expenses of $0.1 million.

Income taxes: OppFi-LLC is organized as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to tax on its earnings, as the taxable income and deductions are passed to the Members who are responsible for income tax based upon their allocable share of OppFi-LLC’s income. Following the Closing, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OppFi and OppFi-LLC. OppFi is subject to corporate income taxes in the United States based upon its activities and its allocable share of taxable income from OppFi-LLC at the federal and state level, therefore the amount of income taxes recorded prior to the Closing are not representative of the expenses expected in the future.

The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, and permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future periods may vary.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes it estimates are payable or refundable for the current year, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.
The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents a potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable, and is included in general, administrative and other in the consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings (loss) per common share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to OppFi by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders is computed using the treasury stock method, which gives effect to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents of OppFi outstanding during the period, and the if-converted method, which gives effect to both the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period as well as an assumed full exchange of OppFi Units into Class A Common Stock of OppFi as of the beginning of the period. For the if-converted method, earnings are also adjusted to reflect all income of OppFi-LLC inuring to the benefit of OppFi and taxed accordingly. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to OppFi, diluted loss per common share available to common stockholders would be the same as basic loss per common share available to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Noncontrolling interests: Noncontrolling interests are held by the Members, who retained 68.3% and 74.4% of the economic ownership percentage of OppFi-LLC as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value disclosure: FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, established a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

FASB ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the nature of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the NYSE. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less-active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option-pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

Government regulation: The Company is subject to complex regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal, state, local statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules and guidance. The Company must comply with federal laws as well as regulations adopted to implement those laws. In July 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, and Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which regulates U.S. consumer financial products and services, including consumer loans offered by the Company. The CFPB has regulatory, supervisory and enforcement powers over providers of consumer financial products and services, including explicit supervisory authority to examine and require registration of such providers.
Accounting pronouncements issued and adopted: In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The purpose of ASU 2023-09 is to provide guidance on the enhanced income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance requires an entity to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025, with retrospective application to all prior periods presented. See Note 10. Income Taxes for additional information.

Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The purpose of ASU 2024-03 is to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The purpose of ASU 2025-01 is to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The purpose of ASU 2025-06 is to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The purpose of ASU 2025-11 is to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. ASU 2025-11 also requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
