| Liquidity and Going Concern | Liquidity and Going Concern In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (“ASC 205-40"), management has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. This evaluation requires management to perform two steps. First, management must evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Second, if management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management is required to consider whether it has plans in place to alleviate that doubt. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Disclosures in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are required if management concludes that substantial doubt exists or that its plans alleviate the substantial doubt that was raised. The Company's Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Silver Point Finance, LLC, as administrative agent, governing its $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility (see Note G), requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity covenant and a minimum collateral coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at April 30, 2026. Subsequent to year-end, the Company failed to comply with the minimum liquidity and minimum collateral coverage ratio covenants, with anticipated continued noncompliance with those covenants at future measurement dates (absent additional relief), and anticipated that it would fail to comply with the requirement to deliver audited financial statements for fiscal 2026 without a going concern qualification. The Company obtained a series of short-term waivers from its lenders and, on June 19, 2026, entered into an amendment to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement that provides covenant relief for a limited period extending through early September 2026, which may be extended through November 2026 only if specified conditions are satisfied and subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain milestones during that period. During the relief period, the Company must comply with certain milestones and conditions, including maintaining a special committee of independent directors, delivering certain forecasts and reports (including a 13-week cash flow budget), progressing a process to explore financing, recapitalization, restructuring, or other strategic transactions, and entering into a support agreement with the administrative agent and requisite lenders, and the Company remains subject to revised financial covenants during the relief period, including minimum liquidity of $7.0 million as of each Friday and $5.0 million at all other times and a minimum collateral coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2026 and 1.20 to 1.00 as of each month-end thereafter, enhanced reporting obligations, and restrictions on taking certain material actions. If the Company fails to satisfy these milestones or the other conditions of the amendment, or is unable to obtain further covenant relief, waivers or financing prior to the expiration of the relief period, the lenders would be entitled to exercise remedies under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, including acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness, which could trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions under the Company's other financing arrangements, and the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to repay such indebtedness if it were accelerated. The Company also does not currently have a revolving warehouse facility or any other additional financing available to fund the origination of finance receivables, which constrains its ability to originate new finance receivables and to serve customer demand. In addition, a Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent financial and legal advisors, is conducting a review of strategic and financing alternatives intended to address the Company's liquidity and capital structure. These conditions collectively raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. In response to these conditions, the Company has reduced finance receivable originations, lowered inventory levels, tightened underwriting standards and, during fiscal 2026, closed 60 dealership locations and reduced associated staff. Management's plans to address these conditions further include satisfying the milestones and conditions under the June 19, 2026 amendment and extending the related covenant relief period; completing the Special Committee's review of strategic and financing alternatives; establishing a new revolving warehouse facility and continuing to complete asset-backed securitization transactions; and obtaining additional capital, which may include the issuance of equity or other securities, additional debt financing, the sale of assets, or other financing or capital-raising transactions. Such additional financing or equity transactions may not be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all, and the Company's ability to pursue them is subject to prevailing market conditions, the terms of its existing indebtedness (including any required lender consents or mandatory application of proceeds), or other factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. The potential outcomes of the strategic alternatives review, or a failure to satisfy the conditions of the June 19, 2026 amendment, could include a refinancing, recapitalization, restructuring or sale of the Company or its assets, the issuance of additional equity that would materially dilute existing stockholders, or the Company seeking protection under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, any of which could result in a significant or complete loss of value to the holders of the Company's common stock. Management has concluded that its plans, which have not been fully implemented as of the date these Consolidated Financial Statements are issued, do not alleviate the substantial doubt. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities, that may result from the uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. See Note Q (Subsequent Events) for additional information regarding the June 19, 2026 amendment to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement.
