CCF Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Periods, Percentages, Units, Per Unit Amounts, or as Noted)
Note 1. Ownership, Nature of Business, and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business: CCF Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the "Company", "CCF Holdings" or "CCF") is a provider of alternative financial services to unbanked and under-banked consumers. The Company was formed in 2018 and succeeded to the business and operations of Community Choice Financial Inc. The Company owned and operated 1,591 retail locations in 25 states and was licensed to deliver similar financial services through a digital platform in 29 states as of June 30, 2026. Through its network of retail locations and digital platform, the Company provides customers a variety of financial products and services, including secured and unsecured, short-term and medium-term consumer loans, check cashing, prepaid debit cards, and other services that address the specific needs of its individual customers.
The Company has historically issued Class A, Class C and Class M common units ("Common Units") to certain investors. The Class A units were granted voting rights. Class C and Class M units were non-voting.
In addition to Common Units, CCF has historically issued perpetual cumulative convertible preferred units (the "Preferred Units") to certain investors. The holders of the Preferred Units were granted certain rights, including voting rights and board observation rights. The Preferred Units accrued dividends monthly and were payable at the direction of the Board of Managers of CCF. Dividends were payable monthly at 15.0% per annum.
The Company historically issued equity-classified warrants ("Warrants") to purchase the Company's Class A Common Units. The Warrants were originally scheduled to expire on March 26, 2026. On March 24, 2026, certain of the Warrants were amended to extend their expiration date through the closing of the Merger (as defined and discussed in Note 17) and to provide that the amended Warrants be exercised automatically upon the closing of such merger. On March 26, 2026, Warrants to purchase 800,624 of the Company's Class A Common Units expired. As of June 30, 2026, Warrants to purchase 8,418,687 of the Company's Class A Common Units remained outstanding and exercisable.
Pursuant to the 2021 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company's Board of Managers, the Company and certain members of the Company's management (the "CCFI MIP Holders") were granted profits interests in the form of Class B units (the "CCFI MIP Equity") of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary. For both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 20 Class A units and 380 Class B units authorized, issued and outstanding of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC.
Pursuant to the 2019 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company's Board of Managers, the Company's Board of Managers issued options ("Options") to employees of the Company to purchase Class M Common Units. The Options were awarded on January 31, 2022 and vested immediately. The Options expire, if not exercised, on the earlier of i) termination of employment or ii) January 31, 2032. As of June 30, 2026, Options for 5,866,393.5 Class M Common Units remained open.
In addition, certain members of the Company's Board of Managers were historically granted phantom restricted unit awards that were settled upon a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company's Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended). The phantom restricted units were fully vested and were subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Initial Merger Agreement"), as amended by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated June 17, 2026 (the "Amendment to the Merger Agreement", and together with the Initial Merger Agreement, the "Merger Agreement"), Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Katapult"), completed the business combination transaction with Aaron's Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Aaron's"), and the Company. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units, and Phantom Units of the Company were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock also became subject to the Warrants of the Company, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration. Refer to Note 17 for additional details on the Merger Agreement.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Business combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and any assumed liabilities are recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair value. The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the transactions. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCF and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 2025 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to classifications presented in the 2026 consolidated financial statements, without affecting the previously reported net income or members' deficit.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the accrual for third-party losses, the determination of fair value of medium-term finance receivables, the valuation of goodwill, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue recognition: Transactions include loans, credit service fees, check cashing, bill payment, money transfer, money order sales, and other miscellaneous products and services. The revenue recognized from these transactions is classified in the following categories:
Finance receivable revenues-Advance fees and direct costs incurred for the origination of secured and unsecured short-term and medium-term consumer loans are deferred and amortized over the loan period using the effective interest method. Interest earned from short-term and medium-term consumer loans is recognized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method for finance receivables at amortized cost. However, a portion of finance receivables are measured using the fair value option, which is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Interest and fee income on finance receivables at fair value are recognized in finance receivables revenues in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Credit service fees-Credit service organization ("CSO") and credit access bureau fees (collectively "CSO fees") are recognized over the arranged credit service period. Product sales are allocated based on performance obligation. CSO performance obligations include the guarantee and the arrangement of the loan. The guarantee portion of the fees are recognized over the period of the loan as the guarantee represents the primary performance obligation. The arrangement of the loan represents a small portion of the CSO fee, and the net impact would not be material.
Check cashing fees-The full amount of the check cashing fee is recognized as revenue at the time of the transaction. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided.
7
Card fees and Other-The Company acts in an agency capacity regarding bill payment services, money transfers, card products, fee based third-party processing services and money orders offered and sold at its retail locations. The Company records the net amount retained as revenue because the supplier is the primary obligor in the arrangement, the amount earned by the Company is fixed, and the supplier is determined to have the ultimate credit risk. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. The transaction price is reduced for variable consideration related to assuring the minimum cash requirement and program fees paid directly to the third-party lending program provider. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to which it expects to be entitled at contract inception using the expected value, subject to the constraint that a significant revenue reversal is not probable and is reassessed each reporting period. A small portion of other revenues includes incentive and signing bonuses based on reaching certain volumes, which are recognized over time as the performance obligation is fulfilled. The bonuses are associated with the Company's agency agreements.
Disaggregation of revenues-Revenues for finance receivables, including the fair value adjustment of finance receivables, and credit service fees are recognized over the term of the loan. Certain other revenues are recognized over the life of the related contract. Total revenues recognized over time were $806.5 million and $814.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues for check cashing, card fees, and other are recognized at the time of service and were $64.6 million and $59.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company may maintain deposits with well-capitalized banks in amounts in excess of federal depository insurance limits, but believes any such amounts do not represent significant credit risk.
Restricted cash: Restricted cash represents cash held to meet redress obligations, state licensing requirements, compensating balances, or is restricted as to withdrawal or usage.
Finance receivables at amortized cost: Finance receivables consist of short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans.
Short-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity up to ninety days. Unsecured short-term loan products typically range in principal from $50 to $825, with a maturity between fourteen and thirty-five days. This form of lending is based on applicable laws and regulations which vary by state. The customers repay the loan by making cash payments or allowing a check or preauthorized debit to be presented. Secured consumer loans with a maturity of ninety days or less are included in this category and represented 80.2% and 80.5% of short-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
In certain states, in compliance with law, the Company offers an extended payment plan for all borrowers. This extended payment plan is advertised to all customers where the program is offered, either via pamphlet, posted at the store at the time of the consumer loan, or on the website. This payment plan is available to all customers in these states upon request and is not contingent on the borrower's repayment status or further underwriting standards. There are no modifications to customers experiencing financial difficulty. The term is extended to roughly four payments over eight weeks. If customers in the extended payment plan do not make these payments, then their held check is deposited or an ACH is processed for the full amount. Gross loan receivables subject to these repayment plans were immaterial at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Medium-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity greater than ninety days and up to forty-eight months. Unsecured medium-term products typically range from $50 to $6,000 and are evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity between three and thirty-six months. These consumer loans vary in structure depending upon the applicable laws and regulations where they are offered. The medium-term consumer loans are payable in installments or provide for a line of credit with periodic payments. Secured consumer loans with a maturity greater than ninety days are included in this category and represented 40.1% and 41.7% of medium-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company offers consumer loans that are secured by collateral, for which the Company has the right to operate or sell if the customer is experiencing financial difficulty. Secured consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, or other personal property, however, some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.
Delinquency: The Company determines delinquency status using the contractual terms of the finance receivable.
8
Allowance for credit losses: Provisions for credit losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses and an adequate accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans processed for third-party lenders under the CSO program. The factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables, the accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans made by third-party lenders and the resulting provision for credit losses include an evaluation by product and by market based on historical loss experience. The Company evaluates various qualitative factors that may or may not affect the computed initial estimate of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables, by using internal valuation inputs including historical loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information relating to past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio, forecasted changes in the macroeconomic variables such as unemployment levels and inflationary pressures typically do not have a significant impact on loans outstanding. The Company utilizes a loss rate approach in determining its lifetime expected credit losses primarily based on the Company's historical loss experience. The forecast of expected losses by loss curves as compared to historical loss curves identifies significant changes in borrower behavior that may indicate historical loss rates should be adjusted, and extends over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio, the reversion back to historical loss rates after the forecasting period does not have a meaningful impact. The Company does not require reversion adjustments due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio. The Company's current expected credit loss ("CECL") vintage model segments its loan portfolio into monthly pools of receivables by short-term, medium-term, secured and unsecured and estimates the allowance for credit losses by applying loss rates primarily derived from internal, historical cumulative loss experience, then adjusted by qualitative factors to address recent and forecasted business trends. Qualitative factors considered when determining any adjustments to the historical loss rates included, but were not limited to, contractual delinquency, the value of underlying collateral, economic and other qualitative considerations, and management's judgment. The Company evaluates such pooling decisions and adjusts as needed from time to time as risk characteristics change. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.
For short-term unsecured cash advance consumer loans, the Company's policy is to charge off loans when they become past due. For short-term unsecured installment consumer loans, the Company's policy is to charge off loans when accounts are sixty days past due. The Company's policy dictates that, where a customer has provided a check or an electronic payment authorization for presentment upon the maturity of a loan, if the customer has not paid off the loan by the due date, the Company will deposit the customer's check or draft the customer's bank account for the amount due. If the check or draft is returned as unpaid, all accrued fees and outstanding principal are charged-off as uncollectible. For short-term secured loans, the Company's policy generally requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either thirty, sixty or ninety days past due depending on the product.
The Company may place loans on nonaccrual status due to statutory requirements, or if the timely collection of principal and interest becomes uncertain. Accrued interest is not applied against interest income and loans remain on nonaccrual status until payment or charge-off. Payments are applied first to any outstanding past due loan balances. Past due payments may not bring a loan off nonaccrual status. The Company's policy for determining past due status is consistent with the loans receivable aging disclosure. The Company had $80.6 million and $94.5 million of loans in nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable.
9
For medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have a term of one year or less, the Company's policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either sixty or ninety days past due. For medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have an initial maturity of greater than one year, the Company's policy generally requires that balances be charged off when accounts are ninety-one days past due. For medium-term loans valued at amortized cost, the Company accrues interest on past-due loans until charged-off for most medium-term loans. For most title loans, the interest and fee income is suspended if the loan is delinquent over thirty-five days and is not resumed until the loan is current. The amount of the resulting charge-off may include unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable.
Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded to the allowance for credit losses or the accrual for third-party losses in the period in which they are received.
Finance receivables at fair value: As adopted, on July 1, 2024, the Company elected the fair value option ("FVO") under ASC 825-10, to be applied to all newly originated loans under medium-term secured and medium-term unsecured products, excluding products tied to a line of credit and any third-party lender products under a CSO program, which share similarities in classifications of term length and securitization, but differ in terms of financial instrument product type. As such, the respective finance receivables are reported as finance receivables at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The FVO portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Loss and payment activity and certain cost assumptions are determined using respective historical data and include consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes is reflective of the market. The changes in fair value are reported in the fair value adjustment of finance receivables on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Interest and fee income on finance receivables at fair value are recognized in finance receivables revenues in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Charge-off and recovered finance receivable revenues are included in net charge-offs of finance receivables at fair value on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Secured consumer loans before fair value adjustments with a maturity greater than ninety days included in this category represented 76.9% and 78.0% of medium-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Reserve for unfunded commitments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to extend lines of credit to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Company records a reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancellable, through a charge to provision for credit losses in the Company's statements of operations. The reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposure is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans. When estimating the exposure, the Company evaluates both the likelihood the funding will occur and the estimate of the expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life based on historical data. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Credit service organization: Certain subsidiaries of the Company offer a CSO product to assist customers in obtaining credit with unaffiliated third-party lenders for a fee. The Company records a liability for the secured and unsecured loans expected to default subject to a guarantee. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
10
Management estimates the accrual for credit losses using relevant information relating to past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes a loss rate approach in determining its lifetime expected credit losses primarily based on third-party lender historical loss experience. The Company's CECL vintage model segments its loan portfolio into monthly pools of receivables by short-term, medium-term, secured and unsecured and estimates the accrual for credit losses by applying loss rates primarily derived from internal, historical cumulative loss experience, then adjusted by qualitative factors to address recent and forecasted business trends. Qualitative factors considered when determining any adjustments to the historical loss rates included, but were not limited to, contractual delinquency, the value of underlying collateral, economic and other qualitative considerations, and management's judgment. The Company evaluates such pooling decisions and adjusts as needed from time to time as risk characteristics change. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the accrual for credit losses may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.
Card related pre-funding and receivables: The Company acts as an agent for marketing prepaid debit cards. For certain products, the Company offers prepaid cards to customers as an optional source of funding a loan and maintains a pre-funded account to load the cards.
Property, leasehold improvements and equipment: Leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided principally by straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
The useful lives of leasehold improvements and equipment by class are as follows:
| Years | |||
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 | ||
| Leasehold improvements | 5 - 10 | ||
| Computer hardware and software | 3 - 7 | ||
| Vehicles | 5 | ||
| Buildings | 30 |
Leases: The Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for those leases that convey rights to control use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is also required to record a lease liability for the present value of future payment commitments. The Company leases most of its premises under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2035, with some at various dates through 2041. The majority of lease agreements relate to real estate and generally provide that the Company pay taxes, insurance, maintenance and certain other variable operating expenses applicable to the leased premises. The Company's leases often include options to extend or terminate at its sole discretion, which are included in the determination of the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease components and non-lease components are not included in the Company's computation of the ROU asset or lease liability. The Company also does not include short-term leases in the computation of the ROU asset or lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a term at commencement of 12 months or less. Short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Deferred loan origination costs: Direct costs incurred for the origination of loans, which consist mainly of direct and employee-related costs, are deferred and amortized to loan fee income over the contractual lives of the loans using the interest method unless carried at the fair value option. Unamortized amounts are recognized as income at the time that loans are paid in full or at charge-off.
Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill, or cost in excess of fair value of net assets of the companies acquired, is recorded at its carrying value. The Company had previously adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04, which requires a single-step goodwill impairment test that compares the carrying value of the reporting unit (the Company as a whole since it is comprised of a single reporting unit) with its fair value. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value; a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the difference, limited to the amount of goodwill recognized. ASU 2017-04 also eliminated the prior guidance for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying value. As such, the same one-step process is applied in all circumstances. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has a members' deficit of $70.0 million and $124.7 million, respectively. Based on management's evaluation, the Company concluded no impairment on the carrying value of the Company's goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
11
The Company's other intangible assets consist of a trade name, customer list, software and favorable lease asset. The amounts recorded for other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over three years for software, five years for the customer list, fifteen years for the trade name and nine years for the favorable lease. Intangible amortization expense, including favorable lease amortization expense that is classified in occupancy costs on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, was $13.9 million and $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Repossessed assets: Repossessed assets are valued at the lower of the finance receivable balance prior to repossession or the estimated net realizable value of the repossessed asset. The Company estimates net realizable value using the projected cash value upon liquidation, less costs to sell the related collateral. Repossessed assets are included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The changes in the carrying amount of repossessed assets, net of adjustments for net realizable value are summarized as follows:
| Six Months Ended | ||||||||
| June 30, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Total balance, beginning of period | $ | 9,535 | $ | 15,296 | ||||
| Repossessed assets acquired | 57,194 | 68,137 | ||||||
| Repossessed assets sold | (55,930 | ) | (72,658 | ) | ||||
| Total balance, end of period | $ | 10,799 | $ | 10,775 | ||||
Cloud computing arrangements: The Company accounts for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. The balance of cloud computing arrangement implementation costs included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets was $20.4 million and $19.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred amortization of software implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that are service contracts of $2.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Deferred debt issuance costs: Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related contractual obligation using a method that approximates the interest method. Amortization is included as a component of interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company paid no deferred debt issuance costs and amortized $5.8 million of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and paid $2.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs and amortized $9.1 million of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Deferred revenue: The Company's deferred revenue is comprised of an upfront fee received under an agency agreement to offer wire transfer services at the Company's branches. The deferred revenue is recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis.
Revenue recognized from the upfront fees totaled $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in other revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.
Self-insurance liability: The Company is self-insured for employee medical benefits subject to certain loss limitations. The incurred but not reported liability ("IBNR") represents an estimate of the cost of unreported claims based on historical claims reporting. The Company monitors the continued reasonableness of the assumptions and methods used to estimate the IBNR liability each reporting period. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising and marketing costs: Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising, and marketing over the internet are charged to operations when incurred or the first-time advertising takes place.
12
Store closure expense: Store closure expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations consist of lease termination expense and exiting expenses for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Transition services expense: As part of the acquisition of Speedy Cash, Rapid Cash and Avio Credit Businesses ("CURO Acquisition") from CURO Intermediate Holdings Corp. ("CURO") in 2022, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") whereby the Company agreed to reimburse CURO for certain costs post transaction which are paid for or borne in support of the entities purchased by the Company. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025 and there was no remaining liability as of December 31, 2025. The Company accounted for the expense and related interest due in transition services expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Loss (gain) on store closures: The Company recognizes gains or losses on disposal of property, leasehold improvements, and equipment for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company evaluates all long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of these assets cannot be recovered by the undiscounted net cash flows they will generate.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes: Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents current tax obligations and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions by reviewing against applicable tax law positions taken by the Company with respect to tax years for which the statute of limitations is still open. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties on income taxes are charged to other expenses.
Fair value of financial instruments: Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
| • | Level 1-Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| • | Level 3-Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities reflecting the reporting entity's own assumptions. |
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820-10 requires a disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard enables a reader of consolidated financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The standard requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories.
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820-10. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.
13
Special purpose entities: The Company has subsidiaries that are considered special purpose entities ("SPE"). The SPEs were created for the primary purpose to house secured credit facilities, the respective collateral for those facilities and any transfers of assets to and from other subsidiaries. The Company transfers finance receivables from originating subsidiaries to the SPE to secure as collateral on the credit facilities of the SPEs. Subsidiaries of the Company continue to service finance receivables transferred to the SPEs. The SPEs primarily use the proceeds from the finance receivables to pay obligations of the SPEs, including interest expense on the credit facilities, as well as advance additional funding to subsidiaries of the Company, subject to restrictions such as a borrowing base. The finance receivables of the SPEs are reported as assets and the credit facilities are reported as liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Adoption of ASU 2023-09: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures requiring for entities other than public business entities to provide qualitative disclosures about specific categories of reconciling items and individual jurisdictions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however, retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis, and the amendments expanded annual disclosures but did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASU 2024-01: In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to enhance the transparency by including an illustrative example to assist in determining whether a profits interest or similar award is within the guidance of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and should be within the scope of other guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2024-01 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis, and the amendments did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASU 2025-05: In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets which addresses the challenges encountered when applying Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments provide a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 without needing to predict future economic conditions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied prospectively and early adoption are also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and did not elect the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which creates new qualitative and quantitative income statement expense disclosure requirements for public business entities, primarily through disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments of this standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
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 which improves the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) to expand the gross-up approach in Topic 326 at the time of acquisition to certain acquired non-PCD loans that are deemed "seasoned" as defined in the ASU. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
14
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements which adds clarity and guidance to the application of Topic 270, including a principle to disclose material events since the most recent annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for entities other than public business entities. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviewed all other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of future adoption.
Non-controlling interest: The non-controlling interest reported in members' deficit represents the Class B membership units of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary, held by members of management.
Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated its subsequent events (events occurring after June 30, 2026) through the issuance date of September 11, 2026. Events are incorporated with their respective footnote.

The Company's consumer loan portfolio includes both secured and unsecured loans. The Company considers the delinquency status of the finance receivables as a key credit quality indicator and evaluates the credit quality of its consumers based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. As part of the Company's credit risk management activities, the Company actively monitors the migration between the delinquency aging and changes in the delinquency trends to manage exposure to credit risk in the portfolio.
The following tables below are a summary of the Company's gross receivables at amortized cost by their year of origination and number of days delinquent. The gross charge-offs are for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

PPP Loan
As part of the Creditcorp acquisition, a $10.0 million Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the "PPP Loan") became a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The PPP Loan was created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA"). Under the terms of the program, eligible loans may be partially or fully forgiven if the loan proceeds are spent on qualifying expenses and staffing level and salary maintenance requirements are met. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and was originally scheduled to be due in May 2022.
The Company submitted a request for loan forgiveness, which was approved by the lender on September 27, 2021 but denied by the SBA on July 18, 2022. The Company filed an appeal in August 2022 and the SBA denied the Company's appeal on November 4, 2022. Having exhausted its administrative remedies, the Company timely filed a claim against the SBA on December 2, 2022, seeking a court order to require the SBA to forgive the PPP Loan. This action has been dismissed without prejudice pending a decision in DACO Investments, LLC v. SBA, No. 6:22-cv-01444 (W.D. La. May 27, 2022), an earlier filed case involving similarly situated plaintiffs and substantially the same issues. As part of the voluntary dismissal, the SBA has agreed that the Company is not required to repay the PPP Loan while the lawsuit is pending, and interest is accrued in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The interest accrued on the PPP Loan was $0.4 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The accrued interest balance is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11. Concentrations of Credit Risks
The Company's portfolio of finance receivables is comprised of loan agreements with customers in thirty-one states and consequently such customers' ability to honor their contracts may be affected by economic conditions in those states. Additionally, the Company is subject to regulation by federal and state governments that affect the products and services provided by the Company. To the extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect the Company's ability to offer loans or similar products in any of the states in which it operates, the Company's financial position could be adversely affected.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the portfolio balance by state for gross finance receivables, including finance receivables at amortized cost and finance receivables at fair value at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Subsidiaries of the Company offer a CSO product in Texas to assist consumers in obtaining credit with unaffiliated third-party lenders. Total gross finance receivables for which the Company has recorded an accrual for third-party lender losses totaled $215.7 million and $239.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and the corresponding guaranteed consumer loans are disclosed as an off-balance sheet arrangement.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company maintains a separate reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, utilizing the same models and approaches for the Company's other loan portfolio segments described in Note 1, as these unfunded commitments share similar risk characteristics as its loan portfolio segments. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposure included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $1.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Transition services expense
As part of the acquisition of CURO, the Company entered into TSA whereby the Company agreed to reimburse CURO for certain costs post transaction which are paid for or borne in support of the entities purchased by the Company. The liability was satisfied as of December 31, 2025. The Company accounted for the expense and related interest due in transition services expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings wherein certain amounts are claimed or violations of law or regulations are asserted. Except for the matters mentioned below, the opinion of the Company's management is that these claims are without substantial merit or should not result in judgments which in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
For the following lawsuits and administrative proceedings, the Company has accrued estimated legal and litigation expenses of $22.5 million and $22.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and related expenses to other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - TMX Finance LLC
In October 2023, the Company acquired TMX Finance LLC and subsidiaries (together, the "Subsidiary"). Prior to the acquisition, the Subsidiary entered into a Consent Order (the "2023 Order") on February 23, 2023, with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") regarding the CFPB's concerns about Military Lending Act ("MLA") compliance and non-file insurance fees, which are fees related to insurance that covers when the lender does not obtain a lien on a vehicle in which the lender has an interest. The Company has robust policies and procedures in place to prevent lending to MLA covered borrowers and discontinued the use of non-file insurance in June of 2021. As a condition of the 2023 Order, the Subsidiary paid $10.0 million in 2023 as a civil money penalty to the CFPB Civil Penalty Fund and initially set aside $5.1 million in restricted cash to pay affected consumers. The Subsidiary received approval from the CFPB to begin distribution of the payments to affected customers. The Subsidiary has distributed all checks during 2025 and, as part of the 2023 Order, is managing returned mail and re-issuance of checks in accordance with the redress plan.
33
Cyber Related Litigation
On March 31, 2023, Samantha Kolstedt filed a putative class action complaint on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia against TMX Finance Corporate Services, Inc. ("TMX FCS") alleging that TMX FCS should be liable for damages allegedly incurred as a result of a data security incident that impacted TMX FCS's computer network in or around February 2023 and asserting claims for negligence, breach of implied contract, alleged violations of the Georgia Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and declaratory judgment. Shortly thereafter, other plaintiffs filed putative class action lawsuits against various affiliates of TMX FCS alleging similar facts and asserting similar claims. Ultimately, the lawsuits were all consolidated into the first action filed by Kolstedt, and a consolidated complaint was filed on November 29, 2023, against TMX FCS and TMX Finance LLC (collectively "TMX"). That case sought certification of a class; compensatory, injunctive, equitable, declaratory, punitive, and nominal relief; the award of class representative service awards; pre-judgment and post-judgment interest; and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. After motion practice, the Parties reached a settlement and the settlement agreement memorializing the terms was finalized and signed on February 24, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the Court entered the Preliminary Approval Order approving the settlement, set a Final Approval Hearing that took place on August 12, 2025, and on September 2, 2025, the Court entered the Final Approval Order and Judgment. TMX made the payment for the settlement administration by the deadline of November 14, 2025 and the settlement administrator has completed the settlement administration.
GreensboroLaw Center cases ("GLC")
GLC refers to a series of 16 mass actions from claimants represented by the Greensboro Law Center. Each of the mass actions were filed in state court in North Carolina against various TitleMax branded entities (collectively "TitleMax Entities"). Fifteen of the sixteen actions have been removed to federal court and are pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina and fourteen of the sixteen actions have been compelled to, and are stayed pending, arbitration. As to the matters that have not been compelled to arbitration ("Byrd" and "Banks"), both pending in federal court, the responses to their respective complaints were filed June 9, 2026. In addition, the TitleMax Entities have filed Motions to Stay all confirmation and vacatur proceedings in those mass actions where confirmation and vacatur motions have been filed. On June 5, 2026, the Federal Court held a hearing on various motions, including the Motions to Stay. No ruling was entered on any of the motions heard and the judge ordered post hearing briefing, which was filed by all parties by the deadline of June 19, 2026. The court has not yet ruled on those motions. Various other motion practice continues.
Each of the mass actions contains similar allegations that North Carolina law should apply to loans obtained by the claimants from TitleMax branded stores located outside of North Carolina. The claimants each seek the amounts of payments made on the loans and the fair market value of any vehicle repossessed, multiplied by three, plus statutory interest, and attorneys' fees, and, in many instances, punitive damages. In many instances where punitive damages have been assessed in arbitration, the TitleMax Entities are either appealing within the arbitrable bodies or, in court, in more than 50 actions, are opposing confirmation or seeking vacatur. In many of those vacatur and confirmation actions, the TitleMax Entities have included, or in previously filed actions, have sought leave to include, an additional ground of fraud as support to vacatur or opposition to confirmation. One ruling where an award was confirmed is on appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and various appeals are pending in the North Carolina state court system. In all instances, the TitleMax Entities are vigorously defending themselves against all claims. Additionally, TitleMax of South Carolina, Inc. ("TM SC") filed a declaratory action in South Carolina state court against a borrower alleged to have resided in North Carolina at the time of his loan origination, and that defendant is in default.
On August 29, 2024, TM SC filed a separate action in South Carolina federal court against the state of North Carolina and two borrowers who, at loan origination, resided in North Carolina but traveled to South Carolina to get a loan from TM SC. Those two borrowers are named as plaintiffs in one of the more recent mass actions. This action seeks a declaratory judgment that the relevant North Carolina laws are unconstitutional either as applied or on their face. After various motion practices and orders from the court, TM SC filed a new, substantially similar complaint on January 30, 2026, naming the three borrowers and the North Carolina Attorney General ("NC AG") as a defendant, and filed an amended complaint on March 4, 2026. The defendants have submitted their responses to the complaint with the NC AG and the three borrowers all filing motions to dismiss and the three borrowers also filing motions to compel arbitrations. TM SC has replied to those responses. The Court has not yet ruled on TM SC's motion.

CURO Intermediate Holdings Corp., v. Sparrow Purchaser, LLC
On March 28, 2023, CURO, the seller of various entities that the Company purchased in 2022, filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking specific performance of a post-closing working capital dispute. On June 9, 2023, the Company filed its Answer and Counterclaims. The Answer contests CURO's position regarding the working capital dispute. The Counterclaims allege that assets sold by CURO were not in conformity with CURO's representations and warranties in the purchase agreement. On June 5, 2024, the Court held that under the purchase agreement, one of the issues in the parties' working capital dispute shall be resolved by an independent accountant, while the remaining issue was not ripe for resolution given the ambiguity of the purchase agreement on that issue. The independent accountant issued its calculation on March 3, 2025. On January 14, 2026, the Parties stipulated to a dismissal of all claims without prejudice.
On July 17, 2023, CURO filed a demand for arbitration, seeking monetary damages for breach of the TSA agreement, which the parties entered into in connection with the purchase agreement. CURO seeks allegedly unpaid fees and interest under the TSA. On July 24, 2023, the Company filed its Answering Statement and Counterclaims, which seeks damages for services provided under the TSA that were not in conformity with CURO's representations and warranties in the TSA. A merits hearing in the arbitration was held on January 13-14, 2025. Post hearing briefing has been completed. The Tribunal requested post-hearing oral argument which occurred on May 20, 2025. On November 5, 2025, a majority of the three arbitrator Tribunal issued its final award, finding in favor of, and awarding damages to, CURO. The Company made final payment of the arbitration award to CURO in December 2025.
Creditcorp PPP Loan
Prior to the Creditcorp acquisition, Creditcorp received a $10.0 million PPP loan. After the acquisition, the PPP Loan became a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The PPP loan was created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and is administered by the SBA. Under the terms of the program, eligible loans may be partially or fully forgiven if the loan proceeds are spent on qualifying expenses and staffing level and salary maintenance requirements are met. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and was originally scheduled to be due in May 2022. The Company submitted a request for loan forgiveness, which was approved by the lender on September 27, 2021 but denied by the SBA on July 18, 2022. The Company filed an appeal in August 2022 and the SBA denied the Company's appeal on November 4, 2022. Having exhausted its administrative remedies, on December 2, 2022, Creditcorp joined a coalition of financial services businesses in suing the SBA, alleging that the lender exclusion rule is invalid because it conflicts with the plain language of the CARES Act, and that the SBA's denial of forgiveness as to Creditcorp was unlawful because the agency has arbitrarily and capriciously enforced the exclusionary rule. The December 2, 2022 action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On August 11, 2023, all Plaintiffs in the case, including Creditcorp, voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice pending a decision in DACO Investments, LLC v. SBA, No. 6:22-cv-01444 (W.D. La. May 27, 2022), an earlier filed case involving similarly situated plaintiffs and substantially the same issues. As part of the voluntary dismissal, the SBA agreed not to undertake any collection efforts on Creditcorp's (and other Plaintiffs') challenged PPP loans, and interest is accrued in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
In DACO Investments, LLC v. SBA, on February 22, 2024, the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana denied in part and granted in part the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment as to the plaintiffs' claims that the SBA improperly denied PPP loan forgiveness. Following that ruling, on May 21, 2024, the plaintiffs in the Louisiana case appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 5, 2024, the plaintiffs-appellants filed their opening brief. After numerous extension requests, the defendants' response brief is now due September 15, 2026. Therefore, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet issued a ruling on the appeal. The parties reached an agreement in principle with the SBA in late 2025 to resolve the matter but Creditcorp and the SBA were unable to agree on final terms for settlement. Creditcorp is exploring options for repayment of the PPP loan and has already accrued for all related interest expense in its financial statements.

United States ex rel. Relator, LLC v. William Allan Jones, Creditcorp, and Does 1-10
On July 6, 2022, Relator, LLC filed a qui tam action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging William Allan Jones and Creditcorp violated the False Claims Act by obtaining Creditcorp's $10 million PPP loan. While the case was under seal, the Company responded to the Department of Justice's requests for documents and information related to the PPP loan. On May 25, 2025, the Department of Justice declined to intervene in the case, and the case was unsealed the same day. On August 12, 2025, Creditcorp was served with the Complaint, and in response, it filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on October 2, 2025. On November 20, 2025, the Court conducted a hearing and granted Creditcorp's Motion to Dismiss which dismissed all of Relator, LLC's claims against all defendants with prejudice.
Relator, LLC then filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Relator, LLC's opening appellate brief was due on February 27, 2026, but instead of filing a brief, the parties came to agreement and filed a joint Stipulation Dismissing Appeal on February 27, 2026. The Court then issued an order dismissing the appeal on March 4, 2026, thus ending the matter.
Onder Law firm cases
On November 6, 2019, the Onder Law Firm in Missouri filed ten identical cases, each with ten plaintiffs, respectively. These suits allege TitleMax of Missouri, Inc. ("TM MO") must operate as a title lender as defined under Missouri law rather than a consumer finance lender. Plaintiffs allege that because TM MO operates as a consumer finance lender, TM MO is not compliant with the title loan chapter and is thus subject to its penalties. Plaintiffs further allege that TM MO breached its loan agreements and arbitration agreements by failing to pay the Onder firm directly so that the Onder firm could pay the arbitration fee itself, rather than the arbitration tribunal billing TM MO directly. In response to the 10 complaints, TM MO moved to compel arbitration of all Plaintiffs' claims. Those motions were denied, and the appellate court upheld the trial court's ruling and the action was remanded to the trial court to proceed. TM MO vehemently disagrees with Plaintiffs' allegations and is actively defending itself in the trial court proceeding. Discovery is ongoing.
Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on April 9, 2025. After briefing and a hearing on July 8, 2025, the trial court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. TM MO filed a Motion to Compel Discovery, and, after that motion was filed, Plaintiffs, on August 19, 2025, filed their Motion for Summary Judgment. After a hearing on September 12, 2025, the Court compelled Plaintiffs to respond to TM MO's discovery, including providing depositions and verified interrogatory responses.
Pursuant to various discovery related issues, at TM MO's request, the Court has dismissed nearly 50 of the plaintiffs across the ten different actions. On January 26, 2026, TM MO filed its Motion for Summary Judgment. The parties briefed their competing summary judgment motions, and a hearing on both motions was heard on March 6, 2026.
On May 12, 2026, the Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment and ruled in favor of TM MO by dismissing Plaintiffs' claim that TM MO operates as a title lender rather than a consumer finance lender. The remaining individual claims are proceeding. On August 13, 2026, the Onder Law Firm filed a Notice of an Intent to File an Appeal of the trial court's order dismissing one plaintiff's claim under the Missouri title lending statute. The trial court set a status conference for October 30, 2026.
In re De La Cruz, Lopez, and individual arbitration claimants v. Check Into Cash of California, Inc.
On March 7, 2025, Check Into Cash of California, Inc. ("CIC CA") appeared at a mediation and settled a consolidated California Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") case and 22 individual arbitration proceedings via a mediator's proposal. As to the consolidated PAGA claims, the Court approved the settlement pursuant to a December 24, 2025 court order. CIC CA has paid that settlement. The PAGA settlement is being administered. As to the individual arbitrations, they have been removed from the respective arbitrators' dockets, the parties have negotiated written settlement agreements for each claimant, and those agreements have been signed, and payment has been made.

In re Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities ("DOBS")
On June 14, 2024, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities ("DOBS") filed an administrative proceeding (the Order to Show Cause, or "OSC") against TitleMax of Delaware, Inc., TitleMax of Ohio, Inc., TitleMax of Virginia, Inc., TitleMax of South Carolina, Inc., TitleMax Funding, Inc., TMX Finance LLC, TMX Finance Corporate Services, Inc., CCFI Companies, LLC, and all successors or predecessors in interest, affiliates, subsidiaries, or parent companies (collectively, the "Respondent Entities") alleging the Respondent Entities: (1) need a license from the state of Pennsylvania and (2) offer products that violate various Pennsylvania laws. In the OSC, DOBS seeks an order requiring the Respondent Entities to show that they did not violate certain Pennsylvania interest rate laws.
After extensive prehearing motion practice, the final hearing on the OSC was held between October 6, 2025 and October 8, 2025 and post hearing briefing was filed by all parties thereafter. On April 14, 2026, the Chief Hearing Examiner issued a Proposed Adjudication and Order in favor of the Respondent Entities, and adverse to DOBS, as to all counts. The Pennsylvania Banking and Securities Commission is now reviewing the matter to determine whether to accept, revise, remand, or reject the Chief Hearing Examiner's Proposed Adjudication and Order. Oral argument before the Banking Commission was held on July 30, 2026. After oral argument, the Banking Commission indicated that it would issue its ruling during its next scheduled meeting currently set for September 24, 2026.
Additionally, the Respondent Entities also filed various federal lawsuits asserting that requiring the Respondent Entities to participate in the OSC evidentiary hearing violates those entities' constitutional rights and, in those federal actions, sought injunctions to prevent any violation of the Respondent Entities' constitutional rights. The trial courts denied the relief requested and the Respondent Entities appealed. The appellate courts, the Fourth Circuit, Fifth Circuit, and Third Circuit, upheld the trial courts' rulings. Petitions for writs of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States from the Third, Fifth, and Fourth Circuit Courts were filed on June 3, 2026, July 2, 2026, and August 27, 2026, respectively. With respect to the petition for writ of certiorari filed as a result of the Third and Fifth Circuit appeals, the Supreme Court requested that DOBS submit written responses to the Respondent Entities' petitions by September 28, 2026.
South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs v. Cash Central of South Carolina LLC
On May 6, 2016, the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (the "Department") brought this action against Cash Central of South Carolina LLC ("Cash Central") for allegedly failing to comply with South Carolina Consumer Code sections 37-3-201 and 37-3-305 alleging Cash Central failed to file and post maximum rate schedules. A trial was held and Cash Central prevailed. The Department appealed and the South Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's ruling. Cash Central petitioned the Supreme Court of South Carolina to review the appellate decision, but the petition was denied and the case was remanded back to the trial court. After remand, Cash Central obtained leave to amend its Answer and add additional affirmative defenses to the Department's claims. On January 31, 2025, the Department moved for summary judgment as to those affirmative defenses. On May 20, 2025, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Department as to some, but not all, of those defenses. Cash Central then filed a Rule 59(e) Motion for Reconsideration, which was denied. On August 6, 2025, Cash Central filed its notice of appeal and filed its opening brief on January 28, 2026. The appeal and trial court proceeding has been dismissed and the action is concluded. The Parties have settled this action and executed a written settlement agreement on April 27, 2026.
Courtney Blackmon v. TitleMax of Georgia, Inc. d/b/a TitleMax, TMX Finance LLC, and Tracy Young
On February 21, 2024, Plaintiff filed this putative class action alleging violations of the Military Lending Act ("MLA") against TitleMax of Georgia, Inc., TMX Finance, LLC (together the "TM Subsidiary") and Tracy Young. In September 2021, Plaintiff applied for a title pawn in store and was initially denied and determined to be ineligible as a covered borrower under the MLA. Plaintiff reapplied that same day and inputted her mother's social security number and was approved. In July 2022, Plaintiff applied for another title pawn under the same false social security number and was approved, with the pawn refinanced several times. Plaintiff seeks to represent "All MLA Covered Borrowers in the United States that entered into a Pawn Transaction Disclosure Statement and Security Agreement" within five years prior to the commencement of the litigation. After initial motion practice, discovery commenced, but in August 2025, discovery was stayed for a period of 60 days in order for the TM Subsidiary to effectuate payment to affected consumers pursuant to the Consent Order (the "2023 Order") that the TM Subsidiary entered into with the CFPB on February 23, 2023. Further, the Court entered an Order granting the Motion to Stay and a stay is in place until April 13, 2026. At a status conference that occurred on May 6, 2026, the Court entered a briefing schedule for an upcoming TM Subsidiary dispositive motion, which required TM Subsidiary to file its opening brief by May 20, 2026, which it did, with the opposition's brief then due on June 19, 2026, and TM Subsidiary's reply brief due on July 20, 2026. Prior to the opposition brief being due, the parties reached a settlement in principle, notified the Court of the same, and on June 18, 2026, the Court entered an Order administratively closing the case and directing the Parties to file a dismissal upon finalization of the settlement.

ManningM. "Chip" Goldsmith III, M.D., and Jason Jue v. Tracy Young, TY ICOT Investments, LLC, and TMX Finance, LLC, TitleMax of Texas, Inc., and TitleMax of Georgia, Inc.
On March 29, 2017, Plaintiffs filed this action in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia. Plaintiffs are minority shareholders of ICOT Investments, LLC ("ICOT"), a hearing aid company in which Tracy Young ("Young") is the majority shareholder. Young is the former CEO of TMX Finance, LLC, TitleMax of Texas, Inc. ("TM TX"), and TitleMax of Georgia, Inc. ("TM GA") (collectively the "TMX Defendants"). ICOT is unaffiliated with any TMX Defendant or any of their affiliates. Plaintiffs Goldsmith and Jue allege that Young, during his time as CEO of the TMX Defendants, conspired with, or utilized, various TM TX and TM GA employees in order for Young to dilute the minority shareholders' shares in ICOT. The TMX Defendants filed their Motion for Summary Judgment and a hearing on the Motion occurred on May 5, 2026. For procedural reasons, the TMX Defendants' filed a new Motion for Summary Judgment and, on August 26, 2026, the Court entered an order granting the TMX Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment as to all claims pending against them.
Note 13. Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company files consolidated or separate state income tax returns as permitted by the individual states in which it operates. The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to the Company's consolidated federal tax return is closed for all tax years up to and including 2021. The years open to examination by state and local government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed. Additionally, NOL carryforwards from certain earlier periods in these jurisdictions may be subject to examination to the extent they are utilized in a later period. Currently, the Company is not under any examination by taxing authorities. The Company had no liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was impacted due to improved business conditions that made it more likely than not that deferred tax assets would be realized and release of the valuation allowance.
The Company had net deferred tax assets of $47.8 million and $58.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets each quarter. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence in the various jurisdictions in which it operates related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that most of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable, with the exception of net operating losses related to separate entity returns where there are material doubts as to our ability to utilize in statutory carryforward period, and intangible assets that are subject to the built in loss limitations. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in response to uncertainty regarding realizability of these deferred tax assets as they have not met the "more likely than not" realization criteria. When a change in valuation allowance is recognized during an interim period, the change in valuation allowance resulting from current year income is included in the annual effective tax rate and the release of valuation allowance supported by projections of future taxable income is recorded as a discrete tax benefit in the interim period. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company released $42.0 million of its valuation allowance, included in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. A valuation allowance of $8.0 million and $58.3 million was recognized at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that was more likely than not expected to be realized. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Note 14. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities
In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to determine whether it has a variable interest in a legal entity and, if so, whether that entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") that should be considered for consolidation. The Company consolidates any VIE where it has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the VIE's economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb the losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have limited agency agreements with unaffiliated third-party lenders under the CSO program. The agreements govern the terms by which the Company refers customers to that lender, on a non-exclusive basis, for a possible extension of credit, processes loan applications, and commits to reimburse the lender for any loans or related fees that were not collected from such customers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which represents the Company's maximum exposure, was $215.7 million and $239.2 million, respectively. The accrual for third-party lender losses related to these obligations totaled $43.0 million and $49.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This obligation is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company has determined that the lenders as part of this program are VIEs. Based on management's evaluation, the Company has determined they are not the primary beneficiary and that consolidation of the VIEs is not required because the Company does not own or control any interests in the entities, lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and does not have the obligation to absorb the losses or receive the benefits of the entities.
Additionally, beginning in 2023, the Company through its subsidiaries has a limited agency agreement with an unaffiliated third-party fund under a retail foot traffic agreement. The agreement governs the terms by which the third-party lending program supported by the fund is offered by the Company, which increases the retail foot traffic and the potential of the Company to increase other product offerings to those individuals as part of or independent of the third-party lending program in exchange for assuring a minimum cash requirement held by the fund. Also, as part of the program, the Company through its subsidiaries has limited agency agreements with an unaffiliated third-party program administrator and unaffiliated third-party payment processors to act as the loan distributor for the third-party lending program, responsible for creating loan awareness, assisting customers with applying for the loans, and processing transactions for the customer. As the Company acts as an agent in these arrangements, revenue is recognized on a net basis in the amount of fees earned from the unaffiliated third-party payment processors. Revenue is reduced for the estimated variable consideration related to assuring a minimum cash requirement and program fees associated with the program. The program fees are classified as consideration payable to the unaffiliated third-party program administrator and unaffiliated third-party payment processor and recorded as contra revenue.
39
In the fourth quarter of 2025 the Company determined, based on facts and circumstances, that there was a significant deterioration in the unaffiliated third-party payment processors' creditworthiness and collecting the full receivable was no longer considered probable. The Company did not reverse the revenue previously recognized and recorded the reserve for collectability as a contra revenue and against the receivable included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. On June 4, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement that extinguished the previously outstanding receivable and resulted in the issuance of a non-interest-bearing, $10.0 million promissory note by the unaffiliated third-party payment processor, collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the debtor's assets. The note matures in November 2028 and requires monthly payments ranging from $0.1 million to $0.4 million. The note was initially recognized at $8.3 million, net of a $1.7 million discount, and is included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The $1.7 million discount is being accreted to interest income over the term of the note using the effective interest method. In connection with the settlement, the Company derecognized the $15.6 million gross receivable and the related $13.8 million reserve for collectability. Because the reserve had previously been recorded as a reduction of revenue, the settlement resulted in a $6.5 million net increase to revenue from the release of previously recorded contra revenue. The promissory note is evaluated separately from receivables arising from subsequent transactions under the retail foot traffic program. Subsequent program receivables are generated through a different unaffiliated third-party participant and represent separate credit risk exposure from the settled receivable and the note receivable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a receivable related to the third-party lending program, net of reserve for collectability, of none and $1.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the reserve for collectability was none and $12.0 million, respectively.
The following table represents the components disaggregation of revenue recognized for this third-party lending program in other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Gross revenues related to the third-party program | $ | 33,483 | $ | 32,324 | ||||
| Plus: release of reserve of collectability | 4,661 | - | ||||||
| Less: variable consideration - assurance of minimum cash requirement | (16,887 | ) | (10,460 | ) | ||||
| Less: program fees | (1,214 | ) | (5,039 | ) | ||||
| Net revenue recognized | $ | 20,043 | $ | 16,825 | ||||
The minimum cash requirement liability was $3.6 million and $3.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is recorded as a liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has determined that only the unaffiliated third-party fund associated with this program is a VIE. Only the amounts presented as related to the assurance of the minimum cash requirement expense and corresponding liability relate to this VIE. Based on management's evaluation, the Company has determined they are not the primary beneficiary and that consolidation of the fund is not required because the Company does not own or control any interests in the fund, lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and does not have the obligation to absorb the losses or receive the benefits of the fund.
Note 15. Non-Cash Equity-Based Compensation
Pursuant to the 2021 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company's Board of Managers, the Company and certain members of the Company's management were granted profits interests in the form of Class B units of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary. The Class B units were granted in May 2021, August 2022, August 2023, and January 2024 and vest ratably up to three years with the first ratable vesting event occurring in March 2021. For both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 20 Class A units and 380 Class B units authorized, issued and outstanding of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC. The award and related agreements included provisions providing for acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company's Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended) and forfeiture of the awards under certain circumstances.

| Expected term | 6.9 years | 5.6 years | 5.6 years | 4.2 years | ||||||||||||
The grant date fair value of the May 2021, August 2022, August 2023 and January 2024 awards were $6.5 million, $5.1 million, $0.9 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Including forfeitures, non-cash equity-based compensation of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, has been recognized which resulted in an increase in non-controlling interest in consolidated members' deficit. The May 2021 awards were fully recognized as of December 31, 2023. The August 2022 awards were fully recognized as of June 30, 2025. The August 2023 awards were fully recognized as of September 30, 2025. There was $0.2 million of additional non-cash compensation expense to be recognized through December 31, 2026 for the January 2024 awards.

In addition, certain members of the Company's Board of Managers were granted phantom restricted unit awards that will be settled upon a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company's Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended). The phantom restricted units were fully vested and were subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has not recognized any compensation expense for the phantom restricted units as of June 30, 2026, and did not recognize any compensation expense until the closing of a change in control transaction.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Katapult completed the business combination transaction with Aaron's and the Company. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, all unvested units immediately vested with the change of control and the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units and Phantom Units of the Company were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock became subject to Warrants of the Company, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration.

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Finance receivables at fair value: The FVO portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. The internally developed model uses inputs, such as estimated loss, payment activity, discount rate, and certain originating, servicing, and collection cost assumptions that are unobservable but reflect the Company's best estimates of the assumption a market participant would use to calculate fair value. As the model inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs, the FVO portfolio is classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The table below presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Carrying Amount |
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Carrying Amount |
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Assets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finance receivables at fair value | $ | 266,539 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 266,539 | $ | 273,223 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 273,223 | ||||||||||||||||
The table below presents quantitative information about key unobservable inputs used for the Company's finance receivable fair value measurements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Net collections rate(1) | 41.9 | % | 41.4 | % | ||||
| Cost assumptions rate(1) | 27.2 | % | 27.5 | % | ||||
| Discount rate | 12.5 | % | 12.8 | % | ||||
(1) Rates presented are weighted averages of all FVO portfolios.
Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the finance instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net collection rate would increase the fair value of the Company's finance receivables at fair value. An increase to the cost assumptions rate or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company's finance receivables at fair value. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company has assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets that have a carrying value which could be subject to impairment under unfavorable events or circumstances. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments summarized by level are as follows:
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using Level 1 inputs.
42
Finance receivables at amortized cost, net: Finance receivables at amortized cost, net consist of short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, including open end lines of credit. Loans originate at prevailing market rates. For the short-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, given the short-term nature of these loans and due to these loans continually being repriced at current market rates, the amortized cost approximates fair value. For the medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, the Company estimated fair value by using a discounted cash flow methodology. The internally developed model uses inputs, such as estimated loss, payment activity, discount rate, average loan age, and certain originating, servicing, and collection cost assumptions that are unobservable but reflect the Company's best estimates of the assumption a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The fair values of loans receivable are measured using Level 3 inputs.
Repossessed assets: Repossessed assets are valued at the lower of the finance receivable balance prior to repossession or the estimated net realizable value of the repossessed asset. The Company estimates net realizable value using the projected cash value upon liquidation, less costs to sell the related collateral. The fair value of repossessed assets are estimated using Level 3 inputs determined based on comparable recent used-vehicle auction sales and known changes in the broad used-vehicle market. Repossessed assets are included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Debt: The Company's private term and revolving debt facilities, both variable and fixed interest rates, are not actively traded and therefore do not have quoted market prices and thus are measured using Level 3 inputs. The Company's variable interest rate debt facilities are tied to SOFR, a market benchmark, with a short reset period, and are estimated to have a fair value equal to par. The Company's fixed interest debt facilities fair value is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate the Company would bear if executed in the current market after considering changes in the market interest rate and credit profile of the Company, and result in an estimated fair value equal to par.
