ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Grasshopper

On December 10, 2025, we entered into a merger agreement with Grasshopper Bancorp, Inc. ("Grasshopper") under which we will acquire Grasshopper for an aggregate purchase price valued at approximately $369 million at signing to be paid in a combination of cash and newly issued shares. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Grasshopper will merge with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving corporation and, immediately following the merger, an interim national bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours will merge with and into Grasshopper Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grasshopper, with Grasshopper Bank continuing as the surviving bank. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of each of the Company and Grasshopper. On February 2, 2026, Grasshopper held a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with the merger, at which the merger agreement was approved. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close during the second half of 2026.

Founded in 2019, Grasshopper Bank is a leading client-first, full-service digital bank offering digital financial solutions for commercial and consumer customers, including fintech-focused Banking-as-a-Service and API banking platforms, commercial and Small Business Administration lending and consumer banking.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB")

On November 15, 2023, we consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which we agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions, to pay a civil money penalty of $15 million. The Consent Order related to issues, the majority of which were self-disclosed, including payment processing and debiting errors. Effective August 29, 2025, the CFPB terminated the Consent Order in full and waived any alleged non-compliance therewith.

In October 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule entitled "Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans" (the "Small Dollar Rule"), which covers certain consumer loans that we offer. While the ability to repay provisions were rescinded in 2020, the payment provisions remain in effect. These provisions require that if a consumer has two consecutive failed payment attempts, the lender must obtain the consumer's new and specific authorization to make further withdrawals from the consumer's bank account. Additionally, lenders must provide certain notices to consumers before attempting a first payment withdrawal or an unusual withdrawal and after two consecutive failed withdrawal attempts. Following a series of constitutional challenges, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the funding structure of the CFPB and the Fifth Circuit upheld the Small Dollar Rule. On March 28, 2025, the CFPB issued a press release entitled "CFPB Offers Regulatory Relief for Small Loan Providers" indicating that the CFPB "will not prioritize enforcement or supervision actions with regard to any penalties or fines associated with the Payment Withdrawal provisions and the Payment Disclosure provisions once they become operative on March 30, 2025." The CFPB also indicated that it is contemplating issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to narrow the scope of the Small Dollar Rule. If the CFPB elects to prioritize enforcement and we are not able to execute payment process and customer notification changes effectively because of unexpected complexities, costs or otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the Small Dollar Rule will not have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued its final rule to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1071 amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to require financial institutions to collect and report certain data in connection with credit applications made by small businesses, including women- or minority-owned small businesses, and applies to small business loans that we offer. For loans covered by the small business lending rule, a "covered lender" will be required to collect and report on certain information pursuant to an application for credit. Section 1071 requires covered lenders to collect and report information the financial institution generates and information obtained from the applicant, including the applicant's minority-owned business status, women-owned business status and LGBTQI+-owned status and the applicant's principal owners' ethnicity, race and sex, and expressly prohibits a financial institution from discouraging an applicant from responding to requests for applicant-provided data. On June 18, 2025, following various litigation challenges, the CFPB issued an interim final rule to extend the compliance deadlines by approximately one year. It further indicated its intent to initiate a new Section 1071 rulemaking and that it anticipated issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking as expeditiously as reasonably possible. On October 2, 2025, the CFPB published a final rule with the same extended compliance dates provided for in the June interim rule. On November 13, 2025, the CFPB issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to narrow the scope of the rule, including removing certain data points, and to extend the compliance date to January 1, 2028. Absent further court action, legislative action or action by the CFPB, the Company's small business loan business will need to update its application process to appropriately collect, store and report data required by Section 1071's implementing regulation. The Company will continue to monitor litigation, rulemaking and bills related to the rule.

European Union Pillar Two Directive

On December 15, 2022, the European Union ("EU") Member States formally adopted the EU's Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries are expected to also implement similar legislation. As of December 31, 2025, among the jurisdictions where the Company operates, only Brazil has enacted legislation adopting the Pillar Two Rules, specifically a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax, effective in fiscal 2025. We do not expect the changes brought about by this directive to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2026, the OECD released administrative guidance establishing a "Side-by-Side" safe harbor for eligible U.S.-headquartered multinational groups, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. If elected, this safe harbor generally reduces Pillar Two top-up tax exposure under the Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule to zero, while Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Taxes in jurisdictions where we operate may continue to apply. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the "Side-by-Side" safe harbor and, where appropriate, expects to leverage applicable safe harbor provisions beginning with the fiscal year starting on January 1, 2026.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA's various provisions include, among other things, accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. We have evaluated the OBBBA and reflected its impact on the consolidated financial statements. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.

Valuation of Loans and Finance Receivables

We carry our loans and finance receivables at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings. We estimate the fair value of our loans and finance receivables primarily using internally-developed, discounted cash flow analyses to more accurately predict future payments. We adjust contractual cash flows for estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets and discount the future cash flows using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if we do not believe the output reflects the fair value of the portfolio, as defined under GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance. We have validated model performance by comparing past valuations with actual performance noted after each valuation.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, views in the marketplace on the economy and its near-term prospects remained mixed with concerns on employment, inflation, tariffs and other macroeconomic trends. In certain situations, management concluded that the probability of future charge-offs or prepayments was different than what we had experienced in the past and, therefore, altered those assumptions in our fair value models. We continue to utilize this approach and have adjusted these assumptions where appropriate. We also evaluate the discount rates used in our models on a quarterly basis and adjust when appropriate to be responsive to changes in the market and representative of what a market participant would use. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we deemed the resulting fair value of our loans and finance receivables to be an appropriate market-based exit price that considers current market conditions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. We present non-GAAP financial information because such measures are used by management in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

We provide adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. We utilize, and also believe that investors utilize, the Adjusted Earnings Measures to assess operating performance, recognizing that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we believe that the Adjusted Earnings Measures are useful to management and investors in comparing our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or results of operations.

The following table provides reconciliations between net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures (in thousands, except per share data):

(e)
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we reached an agreement with the CFPB, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $15.0 million, which is nondeductible for tax purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA

We provide Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and certain other items, as appropriate, that are not indicative of our core operating performance. We utilize, and also believe that investors utilize, Adjusted EBITDA to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in comparing our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain non-cash items and certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or results of operations. Adjusted

EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (dollars in thousands):

Combined Loans and Finance Receivables

Combined loans and finance receivables is a non-GAAP measure that includes both loans and finance receivables we own and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides management and investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivables portfolio on an aggregate basis. We also believe that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our consolidated balance sheets since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

YEAR ENDED 2025 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED 2024

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased $493.9 million, or 18.6%, to $3,151.7 million for 2025 as compared to $2,657.8 million for 2024. The change in revenue was driven primarily by a 30.5% increase in revenue from our small business portfolio and a 10.9% increase in revenue from our consumer portfolio as higher levels of originations have led to higher loan balances for both portfolios.

Our net revenue was $1,830.3 million for 2025 compared to $1,529.4 million for 2024. Our net revenue as a percentage of revenue ("net revenue margin") was 58.1% in 2025 compared to 57.5% in 2024. The increase in net revenue margin was driven primarily by higher net revenue margin in the small business portfolio, partially offset by lower net revenue margin in the consumer portfolio.

(a)
GAAP measure. The loan and finance receivable balances guaranteed by us relate to loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO program and are not included in our consolidated balance sheets.
(b)
Amounts represent non-GAAP measures.

At December 31, 2025, the ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal was 115.2% on company owned loans and finance receivables and 115.3% on combined loans and finance receivables compared to 115.1% on company owned loans and finance receivables and 115.3% on combined loans and finance receivables at December 31, 2024. These ratios were consistent year over year due to consistency in credit performance in both the consumer and small business portfolios.

Average Amount Outstanding per Loan and Finance Receivable

The average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable is calculated as the total combined loans and finance receivables, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables outstanding at the end of the period. The following table shows the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable by product at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The average amount outstanding per loan increased to $4,830 as of December 31, 2025 compared to $4,102 as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to a higher average amount outstanding per loan in the small business portfolio and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the mix of loans and finance receivables held by small businesses in our portfolio as they have higher average outstanding balances.

Average Loan and Finance Receivable Origination

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables originated,

renewed and purchased for the period. The following table shows the average loan and finance receivable origination amount by product for 2025 compared to 2024:

(c)
For line of credit accounts the average represents the average amount of each incremental draw.

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is smaller than the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable in the previous section as the former measure includes incremental draws on our line of credit accounts whereas the latter measure includes the entire outstanding receivable on our line of credit accounts.

The average loan origination amount increased to $1,810 from $1,576 during 2025 compared to 2024, due primarily to an increase in the mix of loans and finance receivables held by small businesses in our portfolio as they have higher average origination amounts.

Credit Performance of Loans and Finance Receivables

We monitor the performance of our loans and finance receivables. Internal factors such as portfolio composition (e.g., interest rate, loan term, geography information, customer mix, credit quality) and performance (e.g., delinquency, loss trends, prepayment rates) are reviewed on a regular basis at various levels (e.g., product, vintage). We also weigh the impact of relevant, internal business decisions on the portfolio. External factors such as macroeconomic trends, financial market liquidity expectations, competitive landscape and legal/regulatory requirements are also reviewed on a regular basis.

The payment status of a customer, including the degree of any delinquency, is a significant factor in determining estimated charge-offs in the cash flow models that we use to determine fair value.

The average combined loan and finance receivable balance is the average of the month-end balances during the period.

The combined ending loan balance, including principal and accrued fees/interest outstanding, of consumer loans and finance receivables at December 31, 2025 increased 5.9% to $1,596.1 million compared to $1,506.8 million at December 31, 2024, due primarily to originations outpacing repayments.

The percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent decreased to 7.8% at December 31, 2025 compared to 8.2% at December 31, 2024, driven primarily by a lower percentage of originations to new customers, which typically default at a higher rate compared to returning customers, and a mix shift to installment loans, which have lower yields and default rates compared to line of credit products. Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average combined loan and finance receivable balance of 16.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 fourth quarter") was stable compared to 16.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 fourth quarter"), driven primarily by fairly stable credit performance in most of our products in the consumer loan portfolio. The trend in charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average combined loan and finance receivable balance across the four quarters of 2025 was generally in line with seasonal norms, with the second and third quarters being slightly higher than similar quarters in the prior year, but still in a reasonable range for the consumer portfolio and consistent with other quarters in the past four years. Demand for our consumer loan products and services in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers' receipt of income tax refunds. Lower originations, particularly to new customers, which typically default at a higher percentage than returning customers, generally result in lower delinquencies and charge-offs as the book is more seasoned.

Revenue related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was $445.6 million for the 2025 fourth quarter compared to $433.6 million for the 2024 fourth quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio. The net revenue margin related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was 49.3% for the 2025 fourth quarter, which was fairly consistent with the net revenue margin of 50.9% in the 2024 fourth quarter.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on consumer loans and finance receivables increased to 122.2% at December 31, 2025 compared to 121.4% at December 31, 2024, due primarily to improvement in delinquency. Refer to "Results of Operations-Valuation of Loans and Finance Receivables" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional discussion on loan valuation.

Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average loan and finance receivable balance was flat at 4.6% for the 2025 fourth quarter compared to 4.5% in the 2024 fourth quarter. These metrics evidence stable to improved credit performance of our small business portfolio.

Revenue related to our small business loans and finance receivables was $383.0 million for the 2025 fourth quarter compared to $285.8 million for the 2024 fourth quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio. The net revenue margin related to our small business loans and finance receivables was 71.4% for the 2025 fourth quarter compared to 64.6% in the 2024 fourth quarter. The net revenue margins in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 are higher compared to prior quarters due primarily to improved credit performance and slightly higher average yields.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on small business loans and finance receivables increased slightly to 112.3% at December 31, 2025 compared to 111.8% at December 31, 2024, due primarily to improvement in delinquency. Refer to "Results of Operations-Valuation of Loans and Finance Receivables" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional discussion on loan valuation.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $146.1 million, or 15.5%, to $1,090.8 million in 2025 compared to $944.7 million in 2024.

Marketing expense increased $97.5 million, or 18.6%, to $621.1 million in 2025 compared to $523.6 million in 2024, due primarily to a strategic effort to capture demand. Key drivers included higher commissionable originations and strategic partnerships within the small business portfolio.

Operations and technology expense increased $33.8 million, or 15.1%, to $258.2 million in 2025 from $224.4 million in 2024, due primarily to higher variable costs, particularly personnel costs, underwriting costs, bank charges, collection costs and other selling expenses, attributable to the increase in originations and the size of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of revenue, operations and technology expense decreased slightly to 8.2% in 2025 from 8.4% in 2024, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

General and administrative expense increased $13.2 million, or 8.4%, to $169.7 million in 2025 compared to $156.5 million in 2024, due primarily to higher personnel costs and $6.6 million in transaction-related costs associated with the acquisition of Grasshopper. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 5.4% in 2025 from 5.9% as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6 million, or 4.0%, to $41.8 million in 2025 compared to $40.2 million in 2024, driven primarily by general growth in the business and additional internal-use software placed in service.

Nonoperating Items

Interest expense, net increased $48.9 million, or 16.8%, to $339.3 million in 2025 compared to $290.4 million in 2024, due primarily to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding to $3,945.5 million during 2025 from $3,148.9 million during 2024, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 8.64% in 2025 from 9.31% in 2024. See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Current Debt Facilities" below for further information.

Equity method investment income was $1.6 million in 2025 compared to $16.5 million of loss in 2024, due to the write-down of our investment in Linear in 2024 as discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate from continuing operations of 23.1% in 2025 was slightly higher compared to the effective tax rate of 22.7% in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the prior year having a larger reduction of interest expense due to the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by higher excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation.

Net Income

Net income increased $99.0 million, or 47.2%, to $308.4 million in 2025 compared to $209.4 million in 2024. The increase was driven primarily by higher income from operations, reflecting overall business growth driving an increase in net revenue and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. This was partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding. The prior year also included a write-down of our investment in Linear of $16.6 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Funding Strategy

We seek to maintain a stable and flexible balance sheet to ensure that liquidity and funding are available to meet our business obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $407.9 million, of which $336.2 million was restricted, compared to $322.7 million, of which $248.8 million was restricted, as of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued $163.9 million of asset-backed notes and entered into a $150.0 million consumer loan securitization facility to fund growth in our consumer loan portfolio, issued $522.8 million of asset-backed notes to fund growth in our small business loan portfolio and increased the borrowing capacity of our existing secured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to $825.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had funding capacity of $649.2 million. Based on numerous stressed-case modeling scenarios, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to run our operations for the foreseeable future. Further, we have no recourse debt obligations scheduled to mature until December 2028. As part of our capital and liquidity management, we may from time to time acquire our outstanding debt securities, including through redemptions, tender offers, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws and in compliance with the indentures governing our outstanding debt securities, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities for funding both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan and financing products. On December 6, 2023, we issued and sold $400.0 million in aggregate

principal amount of 11.25% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire existing indebtedness, including the remaining principal amount outstanding under our 8.50% senior notes due 2024. On August 12, 2024, we issued and sold $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.125% senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Senior Notes") and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire existing indebtedness, including the remaining principal amount outstanding under our 8.50% senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes").

On June 23, 2022, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement that, among other changes, increased the borrowing capacity to $440.0 million, with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit and $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit. On October 19, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes, increase the total commitment amount from $440.0 million to $515.0 million. On September 11, 2024, we further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes, increase the total commitment amount from $515.0 million to $665.0 million. On August 28, 2025, we further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes, increase the total commitment amount from $665.0 million to $825.0 million, extend the maturity date from June 2026 to August 2029 and reduce the interest rate, as applicable, from the base rate plus 0.75% to the base rate plus 0.50% and from the SOFR rate plus 3.50% to the SOFR rate plus 3.25%. In addition to customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, the Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the commitment, and ranges from 0.15% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. As of February 17, 2026, our available borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $139.6 million. Since 2016, we have entered into several loan securitization facilities and offered asset-backed notes to fund our growth, primarily in our near-prime consumer loan and small business loan portfolios. As of February 17, 2026, we had funding capacity of $232.7 million. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer and small business loan securitization facilities.

As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial ratios and covenants set forth in our debt agreements. Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending and financing to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.

Capital

Our total stockholders' equity increased by $139.8 million to $1,336.7 million at December 31, 2025 from $1,196.9 million at December 31, 2024. The increase of stockholders' equity was driven primarily by net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by repurchases of our outstanding common stock, which is discussed in more detail below. Our book value per share outstanding increased to $54.08 at December 31, 2025 from $46.38 at December 31, 2024.

On August 12, 2024, we announced the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program totaling $300.0 million through December 31, 2025 (the "August 2024 Authorization"), which replaced the prior authorization, under which the Company had repurchased $255.9 million of common stock. On November 12, 2025, we announced the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program totaling $400.0 million through June 30, 2027 (the "November 2025 Authorization"), which replaced the August 2024 Authorization. The Company had repurchased $238.9 million of common stock under the August 2024 Authorization before it was terminated. Repurchases under our repurchase programs are made from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase programs do not obligate us to purchase any shares of our common stock. The November 2025 Authorization may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. During 2025, we paid $190.1 million to repurchase common stock under the share repurchase programs.

Cash

At December 31, 2025, we had $71.7 million of available unrestricted cash to fund our future operations compared to $73.9 million at December 31, 2024.

Our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 were held primarily for working capital purposes and were used to fund a portion of our lending activities. From time to time, we use excess cash and cash equivalents to fund our lending activities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest cash in excess of our immediate working capital requirements in short-term investments, deposit accounts or other arrangements designed to preserve the principal balance and maintain adequate

liquidity. Our excess cash may be invested primarily in overnight sweep accounts, money market instruments or similar arrangements that provide competitive returns consistent with our polices and market conditions.

Our restricted cash typically consists of funds held in accounts as reserves on certain debt facilities and as collateral for issuing bank partner transactions. We have no ability to draw on such funds as long as they remain restricted under the applicable arrangements but have the ability to use these funds to finance loan originations, subject to meeting borrowing base requirements. Our policy is to invest restricted cash held in debt facility related accounts, to the extent permitted by such debt facility, in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, such cash is invested primarily in money market instruments that offer daily purchase and redemption and provide competitive returns consistent with our policies and market conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $280.5 million, or 18.2%, to $1,819.1 million for 2025 from $1,538.6 million for 2024. The increase was driven primarily by additional interest and fee income from growth in the loan portfolio.

We believe cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our securitization facilities and Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof, and additional securitization of consumer and small business loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased $534.6 million, or 28.0%, in 2025 compared to 2024, due primarily to loan originations outpacing repayments by a wider margin in the current year compared to the prior year.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2025 was $711.8 million compared to $318.9 million in 2024. Cash flows provided by financing activities for 2025 primarily consisted of net borrowings of $790.6 million under our securitization facilities and $143.0 million under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by $214.6 million in treasury shares purchases, primarily under our share repurchase programs. Cash flows provided by financing activities for 2024 primarily consisted of net borrowings of $571.4 million under our securitization facilities and $97.0 million under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by $289.3 million in treasury shares purchases, primarily under our share repurchase programs, and $44.4 million in net repayments of senior notes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Loans and Finance Receivables

We have elected the fair value option for our loans and finance receivables. We estimate the fair value of our loans and finance receivables primarily using discounted cash flow analyses at an individual loan level to more accurately predict future payments. We adjust contractual cash flows for estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets and discount the future cash flows using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if we do not believe the output reflects the fair value of the portfolio, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance. We have validated model performance by comparing past valuations with actual performance noted after each valuation.

The following describes the primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analyses that require significant judgment:

Net losses - Net losses are estimates of the principal payments that will not be repaid over the life of our portfolio, net of the expected principal recoveries on charged-off receivables. We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected since the Company's inception. These systems employ advanced risk analytics to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations, and to provide customers with funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing, and collection decisions. Leveraging the data at the core of our business, we utilize our models to estimate lifetime credit losses for loans and finance receivables. Inputs to the models include contractual cash flows, customer application information, historical and current performance, and behavioral information. Management may also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future credit performance.
Prepayments - Prepayments are estimates of the amount of principal payments that will occur earlier than contractually required during the life of a loan and finance receivable. Prepayments accelerate the timing of principal repayment and reduce interest payments. Prepayment rates in our discounted cash flow models are developed using historical results as the basis. Model inputs are similar to those utilized to estimate net losses and may also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future performance.
Servicing costs - Servicing costs applied to the expected cash flows of our portfolio reflect our estimate of the amount investors would incur to service the underlying assets for the remainder of their lives. Servicing costs are derived from our internal analysis of our cost structure considering the characteristics of our receivables and have been benchmarked against observable information on comparable assets in the marketplace.
Discount rates - Determined at a product level, the discount rates utilized in our cash flow analyses reflect our estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics.

Management continuously monitors factors that may impact the fair values of our products. Internal factors such as portfolio composition (for example, interest rate, loan term, geography information, customer mix, credit quality) and performance (e.g., delinquency, loss trends, prepayment rates) are reviewed on a regular basis at various levels, including product and vintage. The Company also weighs the impact of relevant, internal business decisions on estimated fair value. External factors such as macroeconomic trends, financial market liquidity expectations, competitive landscape and legal or regulatory requirements are also reviewed on a regular basis. Management also reviews the results of our fair value model output compared to prior periods for unusual trends, potential model over- or under-reaction, outlier results and other distorting factors. Based on these analyses, management may deem it appropriate to adjust model output to derive management's best estimate of fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Goodwill, we test goodwill for potential impairment annually on October 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.

We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In assessing the qualitative factors, we consider relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environment, our overall financial performance, cash flow from operating activities, market capitalization and stock price. If we determine that the quantitative impairment test is required, we use the income approach to complete our annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar from an operational and economic standpoint. See Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences in recognition of income for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities and are included within the consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not, we must establish a valuation allowance. An expense or benefit is included within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of income for any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance for a given period.

We report our loans and finance receivables in the Company's tax returns at fair market value, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which differs from how we report them in the consolidated financial statements due in part to statutory tax and judicial principles that may lead to different interpretations of expected credit losses and discount rate assumptions. Changes in the fair market value of our loans and finance receivables as determined for tax purposes may have a significant impact on the timing and amount of how income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The estimates of fair market value are dependent on multiple assumptions, including expected credit losses and discount rates.

We perform an evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. We establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent) that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We analyze several factors, including the nature and frequency of operating losses, our carryforward period for any losses, the reversal of future taxable temporary differences, the expected occurrence of future income or loss and the feasibility of available tax planning strategies to protect against the loss of deferred tax assets.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, which requires that a more-likely-than-not threshold be met before the benefit of a tax position may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and prescribes how such benefit should be measured. We must evaluate tax positions taken on our tax returns for all periods that are open to examination by taxing authorities and make a judgment as to whether and to what extent such positions are more likely than not to be sustained based on the technical merits. We record interest and penalties related to tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.

Our judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, the deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. Our judgment is also required in evaluating whether tax benefits meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition under ASC 740.
