CURO Group Holdings Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results<\/b><\/p>\n

WICHITA, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCURO Group Holdings Corp. (NYSE: CURO) (\u201cCURO\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a market leader in providing credit to non-prime consumers, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAfter being tested on many levels in 2020, we ended the year encouraged by our employees’ resiliency and cautiously optimistic about our opportunities for 2021 and beyond,\u201d said Don Gayhardt, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cIn the fourth quarter of 2020, we delivered quarterly sequential loan balance growth of 11.3% compared to 1.6% quarterly sequential growth in the fourth quarter of 2019. While overall loan balances finished the year 19.5% below prior year levels (11.7% excluding regulatory-impacted California installment loans), loan balances in Canada increased 9.2% on the year. Despite COVID-19 impacts that lowered loan demand and balances after the first quarter, historically good credit performance and strict expense management allowed us to post solid quarterly earnings for all of 2020 while significantly increasing cash and liquidity levels.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs we announced in December, we also unlocked significant shareholder value from our $27.5 million investment in Katapult, a leading e-commerce FinTech platform focused on non-prime consumers. On December 18, 2020, Katapult announced its merger with FinServ Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: FSRV), a special purpose acquisition company, as the first step towards becoming a separate, publicly traded company, expected in a few months. Under the terms of Katapult’s merger with FinServ, at that time we expect to receive up to $130 million in cash and retain at least 21% ownership of the new public company. This transaction will increase our balance sheet flexibility while maintaining a meaningful equity stake and board representation in Katapult. Based on the market value of FSRV shares as of February 3rd<\/sup>, the total value of CURO\u2019s stake is over $500 million, including earn-out shares, before taxes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThen, as we announced earlier this week, we agreed to acquire Flexiti Financial, one of Canada\u2019s fastest-growing POS\/BNPL providers with a market-leading omni-channel FinTech platform. This acquisition enhances our value creation opportunities in Canada by allowing us to serve customers across all channels in which they access credit and with an expanded product set. It also increases CURO\u2019s long-term growth profile and provides further product and geographical diversification.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nFourth quarter 2020 and recent developments include:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \nSequential increase (described within this release as the change from the third quarter to the fourth quarter) in Company Owned gross loans receivable and Gross combined loans receivable of $56.3 million, or 11.3%, and $60.6 million, or 11.3%, respectively, compared to $8.2 million, or 1.2%, and $11.8 million, or 1.6%, of sequential growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nConsolidated Company Owned net charge-off (“NCO”) rate decline of 48.3%, or 760 basis points (“bps”), compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nYear-over-year reduction in loan balances from COVID-19 effects on customer demand and regulatory changes that became effective January 1, 2020 for Unsecured and Secured Installment loans in California. Company Owned gross loans receivable declined 7.4% in 2020 excluding affected loan portfolios in California.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nRevenue decrease of $100.2 million, or 33.2%, versus the prior-year period, due to the decrease in loan balances, as well as a mix shift toward Canada, where products average less revenue than the U.S.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nNet Revenue decrease of $39.8 million, or 23.1%, year over year, as the impact of lower NCO rates partially mitigated the negative effect of lower loan balances.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nDefinitive merger agreement between Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult”) and Finserv Acquisition Corp., (“FinServ”). On our total minority investment of $27.5 million, the merger is expected to provide us a combination of cash and stock consideration between $520 million and $540 million, based on current market prices and subject to FinServ shareholder redemptions. We expect our ownership stake in the resulting publicly traded entity to be no less than 21% of its fully diluted shares.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nContinued growth of our technology, marketing and servicing relationship for Verge Credit loans, issued and funded by a bank.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nEntered into an agreement to acquire Flexiti Financial Inc. (“Flexiti”), an emerging growth Canadian Point-of-Sale \/ Buy Now Pay Later (“POS\/BNPL”) provider. Under the terms of the agreement, CURO will acquire Flexiti for cash at closing of $85 million and contingent consideration of up to $36 million based on the achievement of risk-adjusted revenue and origination targets over the next two years.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nDiluted Earnings per Share from continuing operations decreased to $0.11 from $0.68. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share decreased to $0.20 compared to $0.80 for the fourth quarter of 2019.\n<\/li>\n
  • \nOur Board of Directors declared a $0.055 per share dividend payable on March 2, 2021 to stockholders of record as of February 16, 2021.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \nFull-year 2020 developments include:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \nRevenue decrease of $294.4 million, or 25.8%, compared to the prior year, due to the aforementioned decrease in loan balances. California Installment revenues, which were impacted by January 1, 2020 regulatory changes, were $67.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $139.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nNet Revenue decline of $114.7 million, or 17.0%, and gross margin decline of $70.3 million, or 18.6%, year-over-year as the revenue decline was partially offset by lower provision expense.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nDiluted Earnings per Share from continuing operations of $1.77 compared to $2.26 in the prior year. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share of $1.77 compared to $2.83 for 2019.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nEnded the fourth quarter of 2020 with $213.3 million in cash and $310.5 million of liquidity (including undrawn capacity on revolving credit facilities, which is subject to continued collateral performance for the asset backed facilities and covenant compliance) compared to $75.2 million in cash and $187.8 million of liquidity at the end of 2019.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nOn April 8, 2020, we announced the closing of a new Asset-Backed Revolving Credit Facility to provide financing for U.S. Unsecured Installment and Open-End loans. On July 31, 2020, we closed on additional commitments bringing the total borrowing capacity on the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility up to $200.0 million, dependent upon the borrowing base of eligible collateral.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nCompletion of our acquisition of Ad Astra Recovery Services, Inc. (“Ad Astra”), which had been our exclusive provider of third-party collection services for the U.S. business, on January 3, 2020.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nImplemented our COVID-19 Customer Care Program, which enables our team members to provide relief to customers affected by COVID-19 in various ways, ranging from due date extensions, interest or fee forgiveness, payment waivers or extended payment plans, depending on a customer\u2019s individual circumstances. As of January 31, 2021, we have granted concessions on more than 84,000 loans, or 16% of our active loans, and waived over $6.0 million in payments and fees. We also temporarily suspended certain returned item fees.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nInstituted a cash dividend policy in the first quarter of 2020, with dividend payments made to stockholders in February, May, August and November 2020.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \nThroughout this release, we exclude financial results of our former U.K. operations for all periods presented, as they were discontinued for accounting and reporting purposes in February 2019. See \u201cResults of Discontinued Operations\u201d below for additional information.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe COVID-19 pandemic began to have a pervasive impact in March 2020. Year-over-year comparisons for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 were impacted by factors related to COVID-19, such as lower consumer demand, increased or accelerated repayments and favorable payment trends as customers benefited from government stimulus programs at the start of the pandemic, our decision to tighten credit, favorable credit performance as a result of these factors, and our approach to managing expenses (collectively, “COVID-19 Impacts”). Sequential loan growth, transaction volume and the related financial results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were impacted positively by normal seasonality and selectively returning credit scoring to pre-COVID-19 levels, together with continued historically low delinquencies and NCO rates.\n<\/p>\n

      \nDuring the three months ended December 31, 2020, total revenue declined $100.2 million, or 33.2%, to $202.1 million, compared to the prior-year period. Geographically, U.S. and Canada revenues declined 39.0% and 10.5%, respectively. COVID-19 Impacts on year-over-year results for Canada were less than the U.S. due to the faster reopening of major markets and the continued popularity and growth of Open-End loans in Canada. Sequentially, total revenue increased $20.1 million, or 11.0%, primarily from sequential growth in Open-End and Unsecured Installment loan balances compared to the third quarter of 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFrom a product perspective, Open-End revenues increased sequentially $4.4 million, or 7.4%, on related loan growth of $36.7 million, or 11.4%, primarily due to normal seasonality and growth in Open-End loans in Canada. Open-End loan balances in Canada grew $51.2 million, or 20.3%, from December 31, 2019, with related revenue growth of $3.9 million, or 14.1%. Open-End growth in Canada was partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Open-End loans of $27.8 million, or 33.4%, with a related revenue decrease of $12.2 million, or 28.1%. Open-End loan balances in both countries were also affected by COVID-19 Impacts; namely, our decision to initially tighten credit, reduced application volumes and lower utilization of approved credit lines.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFor the three months ended December 31, 2020, Unsecured Installment and Secured Installment revenues decreased $56.8 million, or 41.9%, and $11.9 million, or 41.6%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period because of COVID-19 Impacts and regulatory changes in California that were effective January 1, 2020. Excluding California, Unsecured Installment and Secured Installment revenues decreased $41.4 million, or 36.8%, and $6.6 million, or 33.1%, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Installment revenues increased sequentially $11.4 million, or 13.6%, on related loan growth of $21.5 million, or 12.4%, primarily driven by growth in the Verge Credit brand\n<\/p>\n

      \nSingle-Pay revenue declined $22.4 million, or 44.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to COVID-19 impacts on loan volumes and balances, which declined $37.7 million, or 46.2%, year over year. Single-Pay loan volumes in both the U.S. and Canada were particularly affected by the broad reduction in storefront usage by customers during periods of self-quarantine and stay-at-home orders, periodic store closures for COVID-19 protocols, and increased pay-downs as a result of government stimulus programs. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Single-Pay revenues increased sequentially $2.4 million, or 9.5%, on related loan growth of $2.5 million, or 6.1%, as a result of normal seasonality and reduced quarantine and stay-at-home restrictions.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAncillary revenues, which include the sale of insurance products to Open-End and Installment loan customers in Canada, decreased $0.9 million, or 5.1%, versus the prior-year period, stemming primarily from lower check cashing fees. Canada insurance revenue was flat year over year with higher premium revenue offset by higher customer claims. Sequentially, ancillary revenues increased $1.9 million, or 13.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, due to the aforementioned growth in Canada Open-End loans.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFull-year comparisons also were influenced by COVID-19 Impacts. For the year ended December 31, 2020, total revenue declined $294.4 million, or 25.8%, to $847.4 million, compared to the prior year. Geographically, U.S. and Canada revenues declined 30.1% and 8.5%, respectively. COVID-19 Impacts on year-over-year results for Canada were less than the U.S. due to the faster reopening of major markets and the continued popularity and growth of Open-End loans in Canada.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFrom a product perspective, Open-End revenues grew $4.2 million, or 1.7%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to $51.2 million, or 20.3%, of Open-End loan growth in Canada, partially offset by a $27.8 million, or 33.4%, loan balance decline in the U.S.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFor the year ended December 31, 2020, Unsecured Installment and Secured Installment revenues decreased 36.1% and 28.4%, respectively, because of COVID-19 Impacts, regulatory changes in California that became effective January 1, 2020 and regulatory changes for CSOs in Ohio that were effective May 1, 2019. Excluding California, Unsecured Installment and Secured Installment revenue decreased 32.0% and 18.9%, respectively.\n<\/p>\n

      \nSingle-Pay revenue declined $71.0 million, or 37.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year, primarily due to COVID-19 impacts on loan volume and balances, which declined $37.7 million, or 46.2%. Single-Pay loan volumes were particularly affected by the broad reduction in storefront usage in both the U.S. and Canada by customers during periods of self-quarantine and stay-at-home orders, periodic closures of our stores for cleaning purposes, and increased pay-downs as a result of government stimulus programs.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAncillary revenues, which include the sale of insurance products to Open-End and Installment loan customers in Canada, decreased $4.6 million, or 7.3%, versus the prior year, primarily stemming from lower check cashing fees.\n<\/p>\n

      \nGross combined loans receivable decreased $144.7 million, or 19.5%, to $597.8 million as of December 31, 2020, from $742.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease was driven by COVID-19 Impacts and, for Installment loans, the impact of regulatory changes in California that were effective January 1, 2020. Sequentially, gross combined loans receivable increased $60.6 million, or 11.3%, as demand increased during the fourth quarter from normal seasonality, reduced government stimulus benefits, continued growth in Open-End in Canada and growth in the Verge Credit brand.\n<\/p>\n

      \nGross combined loans receivable performance by product is described further in the following sections.\n<\/p>\n

      Open-End Loans<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nOpen-End loan balances as of December 31, 2020 increased $23.4 million, or 7.0% ($16.4 million, or 4.9%, on a constant-currency basis), compared to December 31, 2019. Open-End balances in Canada increased $51.2 million, or 20.3% ($44.2 million, or 17.5%, on a constant-currency basis), year over year and $37.8 million, or 14.2% ($54.1 million, or 22.8%, on a constant currency basis), sequentially. Open-End loan balances in the U.S. declined $27.8 million, or 33.4% year over year. Sequentially, U.S. Open-End balances declined $1.2 million, or 2.1%, primarily due to the conversion of Virginia Open-End loans to Installment loans in advance of regulatory changes effective January 1, 2021.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable (“allowance coverage”) decreased sequentially from 16.0% to 14.5% as of December 31, 2020 and decreased from 16.4% year over year. The decrease was due to (i) sustained favorable trends in NCOs throughout 2020, (ii) the sequential decrease in Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDRs”) loans as a percentage of total gross loans receivable, and (iii) continued lower past-due gross loans receivable as a percentage of total gross loans receivable compared to historical trends. Year over year, NCO rates improved 520 bps and past-due rates improved 440 bps.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nEffective January 1, 2019, we modified the timeframe over which we charge-off Open-End loans and made related refinements to our loss provisioning methodology. Prior to January 1, 2019, we deemed Open-End loans uncollectible and charged-off when a customer missed a scheduled payment and the loan was considered past-due. Because of our continuing shift to Open-End loans in Canada and our analysis of payment patterns on early-stage versus late-stage delinquencies, we revised our estimates and now consider Open-End loans uncollectible when the loan has been contractually past-due for 90 consecutive days. Consequently, past-due Open-End loans and related accrued interest now remain in loans receivable for 90 days before being charged off against the allowance for loan losses. All recoveries on charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.\n<\/p>\n

      \nProspectively from January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThis change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2019.\n<\/p>\n

      \nIn addition, the following table illustrates, on a non-GAAP pro forma basis, the 2019 quarterly results as if the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change had been applied to our outstanding Open-End loan portfolio as of December 31, 2018. This table is illustrative of retrospective application to determine the NCOs that would have been incurred in each quarter of 2019 from the December 31, 2018 loan book. The primary purpose of this pro forma illustration is to provide a representative level of NCO rates from applying the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Unsecured Installment Loans – Company Owned<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nCompany Owned Unsecured Installment revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and related gross loans receivable decreased $27.0 million, or 42.6%, and $58.4 million, or 36.3%, respectively, from the prior-year period. The decrease in receivables was primarily due to COVID-19 Impacts and regulatory changes in California that were effective January 1, 2020, partially offset by growth in the Verge Credit brand. Sequentially, Company Owned Unsecured Installment revenue and related gross loans receivable increased $5.2 million, or 16.7%, and $21.8 million, or 17.6%, respectively.\n<\/p>\n

      \nUnsecured Installment loans in California were $23.6 million, or 23.0%, of total Company Owned Unsecured Installment loans as of December 31, 2020, a decrease of $47.8 million from December 31, 2019. Sequentially, California Unsecured Installment loans decreased $3.8 million. Excluding California, Company Owned Unsecured Installment loans receivable decreased $10.6 million, or 11.8%, from the prior-year period, while revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $11.0 million, or 28.4%, compared to the prior-year period, due to COVID-19 Impacts. Sequentially, excluding California, Company Owned Unsecured Installment revenue and related loans receivable increased $7.2 million, or 33.5% and $21.2 million, or 36.8%, respectively, from September 30, 2020. The receivable increase was due to normal seasonality, reduced quarantine and stay-at-home orders and less government stimulus during the fourth quarter.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe Unsecured Installment quarterly NCO rate improved approximately 920 bps year-over-year, as a result of COVID-19 Impacts. Sequentially, the quarterly NCO rate increased from 11.5% in the third quarter to 12.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020 on higher new customer origination mix and expansion into new states.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe Unsecured Installment allowance coverage increased year-over-year, from 22.1% as of December 31, 2019, to 23.5% as of December 31, 2020, as a result of certain loan modifications under the Customer Care Program, which were classified as TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs are included within Company Owned gross loans receivable. Amounts waived on these loans are immediately charged-off and the impairment for these loans is included within the Allowance for loan losses. Determination of the impairment for TDRs includes an estimate of their lifetime losses, which is greater than estimated incurred losses at a point in time. TDRs increased our total Unsecured Installment allowance coverage by nearly 100 bps from the allowance coverage that would have otherwise been required. Sequentially, the allowance coverage increased from 22.2% to 23.5%, as a result of moderately higher past-due balances from 21.1% to 23.6%, due largely to growth in new geographical markets, as well as the aforementioned increase in the NCO rate.\n<\/p>\n

      Unsecured Installment Loans – Guaranteed by the Company<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nUnsecured Installment loans Guaranteed by the Company declined $31.1 million year over year, primarily due to COVID-19 Impacts. Sequentially, Unsecured Installment loans Guaranteed by the Company increased $4.4 million, or 11.2%, due to normal seasonality, reduced quarantine and stay-at-home orders and less government stimulus during the fourth quarter.\n<\/p>\n

      \nNCO rates for Unsecured Installment loans Guaranteed by the Company increased year over year from 47.6% to 52.5%, and sequentially from 38.6% to 52.5%, as new customer volume improved and origination mix shifted online. The CSO liability for losses as a percentage of loans Guaranteed by the Company increased year-over-year from 14.2% to 16.6% as of December 31, 2020 due primarily to an increased liability for certain loans modified under the Customer Care Program. Sequentially, past-due balances as a percent of gross loans receivable decreased from 15.3% to 14.1%. The CSO liability for losses increased from 15.8% to 16.6% during the three months ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the aforementioned increase in NCO rate.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Secured Installment Loans<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nSecured Installment revenue and the related gross combined loans receivable for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased 41.6% and 45.2%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period. The decreases were due to COVID-19 Impacts and regulatory changes in California that were effective January 1, 2020. California accounted for $13.7 million, or 27.6%, of total Secured Installment gross combined loans receivable as of December 31, 2020, as compared to $36.5 million, or 40.4%, as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $22.8 million, year over year. Excluding California, Secured Installment loans receivable decreased $18.0 million, or 33.5%, from the prior-year period, while revenues decreased $6.6 million, or 33.1%, year over year, due to COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe Secured Installment NCO rate improved 440 bps compared to the prior-year period. Secured Installment Allowance for loan losses and CSO liability for losses as a percentage of Secured Installment gross combined loans receivable increased from 11.5% as of December 31, 2019 to 14.4% as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the classification of certain loan modifications under the Customer Care Program as TDRs, partially offset by the impact of lower past-due receivables as of December 31, 2020. TDRs increased our total Secured Installment allowance coverage by 270 bps from the allowance coverage that would otherwise have been required. Despite the sequential increase in past-due Secured Installment gross combined loans receivable, the Secured Installment Allowance for loan losses and CSO liability for losses as a percentage of Secured Installment gross combined loans receivable remained flat at 14.4% due to sustained favorable trends in NCOs throughout 2020.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      \nSingle-Pay revenue declined $22.4 million, or 44.9%, year over year, while related receivables declined $37.7 million, or 46.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to COVID-19 Impacts. Single-Pay loan volume was particularly affected by the reduction in store traffic as customers self-quarantined and the increased loan repayments funded by government stimulus programs. Sequentially, Single-Pay revenues increased $2.4 million, or 9.5%, on related loan growth of $2.5 million, or 6.1%, due to normal seasonality and reduced quarantine and stay-at-home orders during the fourth quarter. The Single-Pay Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Single-Pay gross loans receivable, which was consistent year over year, decreased sequentially from 7.7% to 7.0% as of December 31, 2020, due to sustained favorable NCO trends throughout 2020.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      During the year ended December 31, 2020, a Texas court ruling related to the apportionment of income to the state for another company resulted in a change in estimate regarding the realization of a tax benefit previously taken. Accordingly, we recorded a $1.1 million liability for our estimated exposure related to this position.

      On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted by the U.S. Federal government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11.3 million related to the carryback of NOL from tax years 2018 and 2019. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Year over year, U.S. and Canada revenues decreased 39.0% and 10.5% (11.7% on a constant-currency basis), respectively. As previously mentioned, COVID-19 impacts on year over year results for Canada were less pronounced compared to the U.S. due to the faster reopening of Canadian markets and the continued growth of our Open-End loans in Canada.\n<\/p>\n

      \nProvision for losses decreased by $60.5 million, or 46.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in provision for loan losses was due to lower loan balances in 2020, resulting from COVID-19 Impacts, compared to 2019 and significantly improved NCO rates year over year as discussed in more detail in the “Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis” and “Segment Analysis” sections.\n<\/p>\n

      Cost of Providing Services <\/i><\/p>\n

      \nNon-advertising costs of providing services decreased $8.8 million, or 14.6%, to $51.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $60.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019. Of the $8.8 million decrease, $3.6 million related to third-party collection costs incurred in 2019 related to Ad Astra, which previously were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. Subsequent to our acquisition of Ad Astra, which became our wholly owned subsidiary as of January 3, 2020, its operating costs are included within “Corporate, district and other expenses,” consistent with presentation of our other internal collection costs. The remaining decrease year over year in Non-advertising costs of providing services was due to lower underwriting and other variable costs as a result of lower demand and lower collection costs as a result of stimulus-related pay-downs.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAdvertising costs decreased $4.3 million, or 25.9%, year over year because of COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      Corporate, District and Other Expenses<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nCorporate, district and other expenses were $43.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $6.5 million, or 17.7%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. Corporate, district and other expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2020 included $1.9 million of collection costs related to Ad Astra. Comparable costs were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services prior to the acquisition of Ad Astra. Excluding Ad Astra costs, Corporate, district and other expenses increased $4.6 million year over year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation and higher professional fees year over year, partially offset by travel and other cost reductions, including work-from-home initiatives to manage COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      Equity Method Investment<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nRefer to the “Katapult Update for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019″<\/i> below for details.\n<\/p>\n

      Interest Expense<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nInterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.0 million, or 5.7%, on slightly higher year-over-year borrowings.\n<\/p>\n

      Provision for Income Taxes<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nThe effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was 45.3%. The effective income tax rate was higher than the federal and state\/provincial statutory rates of approximately 26%, primarily as the result of several non-taxable events, which skewed the effective tax rate due to the lower level of pre-tax income during the quarter.\n<\/p>\n

      \nRefer to the Reconciliation of Net Income from continuing operations to Adjusted Net Income for additional information. The effective income tax rate of adjusted tax expense included in the Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was 29.7%.\n<\/p>\n

      For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Revenue and Net Revenue<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nRevenue decreased $294.4 million, or 25.8%, to $847.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $1,141.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the declines in combined gross loans receivable discussed above. Year over year, U.S. decreased 30.1%, primarily from COVID-19 Impacts, and Canada decreased 8.5% (7.7% on a constant-currency basis). As previously mentioned, COVID-19 impacts on year-over-year results for Canada were less pronounced compared to the U.S. due to the faster reopening of Canadian markets and the continued growth of our Open-End loans in Canada.\n<\/p>\n

      \nProvision for losses decreased by $179.7 million, or 38.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year. The decrease in provision for loan losses was primarily due to lower loan volume and lower NCOs as a result of COVID-19 Impacts, as discussed in more detail in the “Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis” and “Segment Analysis” sections.\n<\/p>\n

      Cost of Providing Services <\/i><\/p>\n

      \nNon-advertising costs of providing services decreased $35.6 million, or 14.7%, to $205.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $241.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Of the $35.6 million decrease, $15.5 million was related to third-party collection costs incurred in 2019 related to Ad Astra, which were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services prior to the acquisition of Ad Astra. Following the January 3, 2020 acquisition, we included Ad Astra operating costs within “Corporate, district and other expenses,” consistent with the presentation of our other internal collection costs. The remaining decrease in Non-advertising costs of providing services was due to (i) lower underwriting and other variable costs as a result of lower demand, (ii) lower collection costs after governmental stimulus-related pay-downs and (iii) lower discretionary variable compensation.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAdvertising costs decreased $8.8 million, or 16.6%, year over year because of COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      Corporate, District and Other Expenses<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nCorporate, district and other expenses were $159.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Corporate, district and other expenses in the year ended December 31, 2020 included $9.6 million of collection costs related to Ad Astra, which prior to our acquisition of it, were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, corporate, district and other expenses also included (i) $12.9 million of share-based compensation costs, (ii) $2.2 million of Canadian GST described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above and (iii) $5.7 million of legal and other costs described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above. For the year ended December 31, 2019, corporate district and other costs included (i) U.K.-related costs of $8.8 million, (ii) $10.3 million of share-based compensation and (iii) $4.8 million of legal and other costs as described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above. Share-based compensation costs increased primarily as a result of awards granted in the first quarter of 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nExcluding Ad Astra costs, share-based compensation expense and other costs described above, comparable corporate, district and other expenses decreased $6.6 million year over year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation and other cost reductions, including work-from-home initiatives to manage COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      Equity Method Investment<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nRefer to the “Katapult Update for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019″<\/i> below for details.\n<\/p>\n

      Interest Expense<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nInterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased $2.9 million, or 4.2%, on slightly higher year-over-year borrowings.\n<\/p>\n

      Provision for Income Taxes<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nThe effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 7.3%. The effective income tax rate was lower compared to the federal and state\/provincial statutory rates of approximately 26%, primarily as the result of discrete, one-time tax benefits related to usage of NOLs and other valuation allowance releases and the aforementioned fourth quarter non-taxable events.\n<\/p>\n

      \nFirst, given the CARES Act impact treatment of NOLs as described above, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11.3 million related to the carry-back of U.S. federal NOLs from tax years 2018 and 2019, which offsets our tax liability for years prior to tax reform and will generate a refund of previously-paid taxes at a 35% statutory rate.\n<\/p>\n

      \nSecond, we recorded a tax benefit of $4.6 million related to the release of a valuation allowance previously recorded against NOLs for certain entities in Canada. In addition, we released a valuation allowance of $1.1 million against the cumulative losses from our investment in Katapult, as we continued to record equity method income from this investment during the year.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe tax benefits described above were partially offset by an increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions in the U.S. of $1.1 million and the impact of the fourth quarter non-taxable events. Refer to the Reconciliation of Net Income from continuing operations to Adjusted Net Income for additional information.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe effective income tax rate of adjusted tax expense included in Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 25.3%.\n<\/p>\n

      Katapult Update for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019<\/i><\/p>\n

      \nA portion of our investment in Katapult is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We recognize our share of its income or loss on a two-month lag with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the investment included in “Investments” on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2020, our recognized share of Katapult’s earnings through October 31, 2020 was $1.9 million for the fourth quarter and $4.5 million for the full year, as compared with losses of $1.2 million and $6.3 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.\n<\/p>\n

      \nDuring the third quarter of 2020, we acquired additional equity interests in Katapult from certain existing owners for $11.2 million. As a result of these acquisitions, a portion of our Katapult ownership will continue to be recognized under the equity method of accounting and a portion has been reclassified and will be measured at cost less impairment. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we purchased an additional equity interest in Katapult for $1.6 million.\n<\/p>\n

      \nIn December 2020, we announced that Katapult and FinServ entered into a definitive merger agreement that, when completed, we expect will provide consideration to us in a combination of cash and stock. Based on market prices as of the date of this release, we expect to receive consideration with a total value between $520 million and $540 million, an increase from $365 million at the time the transaction was agreed to in December 2020. To date, our total cash investment in Katapult is $27.5 million. Upon closing of the transaction, we anticipate receiving cash of up to $130 million while maintaining at least a 21% ownership, on a fully-diluted basis, in the newly formed public company. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021 and remains subject to approval by FinServ’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions. The transaction will result in both a cash tax liability and deferred tax liability, with the cash tax liability dependent upon cash received at closing. Assuming cash proceeds to us of $130 million, our estimated cash tax liability is approximately $35 million.\n<\/p>\n

      U.S. Segment Results – For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nU.S. revenues decreased by $93.7 million, or 39.0%, to $146.6 million, compared to the prior-year period for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the declines in combined gross loans receivable described above. Excluding the impact of California Installment loan runoff stemming from regulatory changes that were effective January 1, 2020, U.S. revenues decreased $73.0 million, or 35.0%. Sequentially, U.S. revenues increased $13.7 million, or 10.3%. Excluding California portfolios impacted by regulatory changes, U.S. revenues increased $16.6 million, or 13.9%, sequentially.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe provision for losses decreased $52.5 million, or 47.0%, primarily as a result of lower loan volume and lower NCOs, as previously described. U.S. NCOs decreased by $57.7 million, or 51.8%, year over year and the U.S. NCO rate improved by 420 bps to 21.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 from 25.2% in the prior-year period.\n<\/p>\n

      \nNon-advertising costs of providing services for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $34.0 million, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 20.7%, compared to $42.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by Ad Astra costs of $3.6 million, which prior to its acquisition by us were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. The remaining decrease year over year in Non-advertising costs of providing services was due to (i) lower underwriting and other variable costs as a result of lower demand and (ii) lower collection costs resulting from government stimulus-related pay-downs.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAdvertising costs decreased $3.9 million, or 26.2%, year over year because of COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCorporate, district and other expenses were $38.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $6.6 million, or 20.8%, compared to the prior-year period. Corporate, district and other expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 included $1.9 million of collection costs related to Ad Astra, which were historically included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. Excluding Ad Astra costs, Corporate, district and other expenses increased $4.4 million year over year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation and higher professional fees compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by certain cost reductions, including work-from-home initiatives, to manage COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      \nU.S. interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.3 million, or 8.4%, primarily related to the new Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility, which we closed in April 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAs described above, we recognize our share of Katapult\u2019s income on a two-month lag and recorded income of $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      U.S. Segment Results – For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nU.S. revenues decreased by $275.0 million, or 30.1%, to $638.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year, as a result of decreases in combined gross loans receivable. Excluding the aforementioned impact of California Installment loan runoff, U.S. revenues decreased by $203.0 million, or 26.2%.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe provision for losses decreased $161.9 million, or 41.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of lower loan volume and lower NCOs. Year-over-year U.S. NCOs decreased $140.1 million, or 35.2%.\n<\/p>\n

      \nNon-advertising costs of providing services for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $137.5 million, a decrease of $34.2 million, or 19.9%, compared to $171.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by Ad Astra costs of $15.5 million, which prior to its acquisition by us were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. The remaining decrease year over year in Non-advertising costs of providing services was due to (i) lower underwriting and other variable costs as a result of lower demand, (ii) lower collection costs resulting from stimulus-related pay-downs and (iii) lower discretionary variable compensation.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAdvertising costs decreased $6.0 million, or 12.9%, year over year because of COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCorporate, district and other expenses were $137.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 0.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Corporate, district and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 included $9.6 million of collection costs related to Ad Astra, which were historically included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, corporate, district and other costs included (i) $5.7 million of legal and other costs described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above and (ii) $12.9 million of share-based compensation costs. For the year ended December 31, 2019, corporate, district and other expenses included (i) U.K. related costs of $8.8 million as described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above, (ii) $4.7 million of legal and other costs also described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above and (iii) share-based compensation costs of $10.3 million. Share-based compensation costs increased primarily as a result of awards granted in the first quarter of 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nExcluding these items, comparable corporate, district and other expenses decreased $5.4 million year over year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation and certain cost reductions, including work-from-home initiatives, to manage COVID-19 Impacts, partially offset by higher professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nAs described above, and given the two-month lag, we recorded equity income from our investment in Katapult of $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nU.S. interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased $4.1 million, or 6.9%, as a result of higher borrowings year-over-year, including the new Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility, which we closed in April 2020.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Canada Segment Results – For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nCanada gross loans receivable increased $27.9 million, or 9.2% ($20.3 million, or 6.7%, on a constant-currency basis) from the prior year. However, Canada revenue decreased $6.5 million, or 10.5% ($7.3 million, or 11.7%, on a constant-currency basis), to $55.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, from $62.0 million in the prior-year period, as a result of the declines in Single-Pay gross loans receivable previously described, partially offset by increases in Open-End gross loans receivable. Sequentially, Canada revenue increased $6.3 million, or 12.9%, driven by increases in Open-End, Single-Pay and ancillary revenue.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada non-Single-Pay revenue increased $3.1 million, or 7.2% ($2.5 million, or 5.9%, on a constant-currency basis), to $45.4 million, compared to $42.4 million in the prior-year period, on growth of $45.6 million, or 17.1% ($38.5 million, or 14.4%, on a constant-currency basis), in related loan balances. Ancillary revenue, which includes sales of insurance to Open-End loan customers, decreased $0.3 million, or 2.2% ($0.4 million, or 3.4% on a constant-currency basis). The decrease was driven by additional insurance claims from consumers impacted by COVID-19 during the fourth quarter of 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nSingle-Pay revenue decreased $9.6 million, or 48.9% ($9.7 million, or 49.5%, on a constant-currency basis), to $10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and Single-Pay receivables decreased $17.7 million, or 49.6% ($18.2 million, or 50.7% on a constant-currency basis), to $18.1 million, from $35.8 million, in the prior-year period. The decreases in Single-Pay revenue and receivables were due to a continued shift to Open-End loans from Single-Pay, as well as a significant decline in demand attributable to COVID-19 Impacts. Sequentially, Single-Pay revenue increased $1.0 million, or 11.3%, on $1.4 million, or 8.3%, growth in related receivables, driven by normal seasonality.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe provision for losses decreased $8.0 million, or 42.7% ($8.1 million, or 43.2%, on a constant-currency basis), to $10.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $18.7 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in provision for loan losses was primarily a result of lower loan volume and lower NCOs as a result of COVID-19 Impacts as previously described. On a quarterly basis, loss rates improved approximately 326 bps, or 48.0%, year over year due to favorable loan performance as a result of COVID-19 Impacts and overall portfolio maturation.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada cost of providing services for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $18.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.4% ($0.5 million, or 2.6%, on a constant-currency basis), compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to certain cost reductions to manage COVID-19 Impacts and closely targeted advertising efforts while managing growth during the fourth quarter of 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $7.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 4.2% ($0.4 million, or 5.5%, on a constant-currency basis), compared to $7.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of lower interest expense from lower year-over-year borrowings on our Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility.\n<\/p>\n

      Canada Segment Results – For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      \nCanada revenue decreased $19.4 million, or 8.5% ($17.5 million, or 7.7%, on a constant-currency basis), to $208.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $228.3 million in the prior year. Sequentially, revenue increased $6.3 million, or 12.9%, on growth of $38.1 million, or 13.0%, in related loan balances.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada non-Single-Pay revenue increased $14.6 million, or 9.7% ($16.1 million, or 10.8%, on a constant-currency basis), to $164.4 million, compared to $149.8 million in the prior year, on growth of $45.6 million, or 17.1% ($38.5 million, or 14.4%, on a constant-currency basis), in related loan balances. The increase was driven by continued growth of Open-End loan despite COVID-19 related impacts. Ancillary revenue, which includes sales of insurance to Open-End loan customers, remained flat year over year due to increased insurance claims from consumers impacted by COVID-19 during the year ended December 31, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      \nSingle-Pay revenue decreased $34.0 million, or 43.3% ($33.6 million, or 42.8%, on a constant-currency basis), to $44.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and Single-Pay receivables decreased $17.7 million, or 49.6% ($18.2 million, or 50.7% on a constant-currency basis), to $18.1 million from $35.8 million, in the prior year. The decreases in Single-Pay revenue and receivables were due to product mix shift from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans, as well as significant declines in demand attributable to COVID-19 Impacts.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe provision for losses decreased $17.8 million, or 23.3% ($17.0 million, or 22.3%, on a constant-currency basis), to $58.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $76.4 million in the prior year. The decrease in provision for loan losses was primarily a result of lower NCOs and favorable loan performance as a result of COVID-19 Impacts as discussed previously. Year-over-year Canada NCOs decreased $26.2 million, or 32.5%.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada cost of providing services for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $72.1 million, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 5.4% ($3.4 million, or 4.5%, on a constant-currency basis), compared to $76.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to certain cost reductions to manage COVID-19 Impacts, as well as efficient and strategic advertising efforts through the course of 2020 to manage growth in Canada.\n<\/p>\n

      \nCanada operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $32.0 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.1%, as a result of certain cost reductions to manage COVID-19 Impacts, partially offset by costs related to year-over-year growth in Canada.\n<\/p>\n

      Results of Discontinued Operations<\/b><\/p>\n

      \nOn February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the Boards of Directors of the U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as Administrators for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries\u2019 entry into administration was to place their management, affairs, business and property of the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. Accordingly, we deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries, which comprised the U.K. reportable operating segment, as of February 25, 2019 and classified them as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented.\n<\/p>\n

      \nThe following table presents the results of operations of the U.K. Subsidiaries, which meet the criteria of Discontinued Operations and, therefore, are excluded from our results of continuing operations:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      (1) Includes U.K. Subsidiaries financial results from January 1, 2019 to February 25, 2019.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

      \nRevenue and expenses related to discontinued operations included activity prior to the deconsolidation of the U.K. subsidiaries effective February 25, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, (Gain) Loss on disposition of $39.4 million included the non-cash effect of eliminating assets and liabilities of the U.K. Subsidiaries as of the date of deconsolidation, as well as the effect of cumulative currency exchange rate differences on the U.S. investment in the U.K.\n<\/p>\n

      \nIn connection with the disposition of the U.K. Subsidiaries, the U.S. entity that owned our interests in the U.K. Subsidiaries recognized a loss on investment. This loss resulted in an estimated U.S. Federal and state income tax benefit of $46.6 million, which will be available to offset our future income tax obligations. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we revised the estimate of our tax basis in the U.K. Subsidiaries, resulting in a $0.6 million addition in the income tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2019.\n<\/p>\n

      \nDuring the year ended December 31, 2020, we received our final distribution from the Administrators related to the wind-down of the U.K. Subsidiaries, in the amount of $1.7 million.\n<\/p>\n

      Balance Sheet Changes – December 31, 2020 Compared to December 31, 2019 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Cash and cash equivalents<\/span> – The increase in Cash from December 31, 2019 was primarily due to lower demand for loan products due to impacts from COVID-19 and the run-off of the California Installment loan portfolios stemming from regulatory changes effective January 1, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      Restricted cash <\/span>– The increase in Restricted cash from December 31, 2019 was primarily due to growth in our Canada receivables in which certain eligible receivables are pledged as collateral under the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility, growth in Revolve and Opt+ products, and our new Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility, which we closed in April 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      Gross loans receivable and Allowance for loan losses<\/span> – As noted in “Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis” above, changes in Gross loans receivable and related Allowance for loan losses were due to expected lower customer demand and loan origination volumes as a result of COVID-19 impacts and regulatory changes in California effective January 1, 2020.\n<\/p>\n

      Income taxes receivable and Deferred tax liabilities<\/span> – The change in Income taxes receivable and Deferred tax liabilities resulted from the NOL carry-backs, as allowed by the CARES Act. See “Results of Consolidated Operations” for additional details.\n<\/p>\n

      Investments<\/span> – Investments include our equity method investment in Katapult as well as our investment in Katapult through preferred shares not subject to equity method accounting. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, our entire investment in Katapult was accounted for under the equity method and was presented within Prepaid expenses and other. The entire balance is now presented separate within Investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in Investments from December 31, 2019 is the result of the acquisition of additional interests from other investors for $12.8 million during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, and the recognition of equity method income of $4.5 million as previously described.\n<\/p>\n

      Goodwill<\/span> – The increase in Goodwill from December 31, 2019 was due to our acquisition of Ad Astra on January 3, 2020, which resulted in $14.8 million of goodwill, as well as foreign currency rate changes.\n<\/p>\n

      Liability for losses on CSO lender-owned consumer loans<\/span> – As noted in “Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis” above, changes in Liability for losses on CSO lender-owned consumer loans were due to expected lower customer demand and loan origination volumes as a result of COVID-19.\n<\/p>\n

      Debt<\/span> – The increase in Debt from December 31, 2019 was due to $43.6 million of net draws on our new Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility, net of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a net reduction in the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility.\n<\/p>\n

      \n(2) The Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility initially provided for $100.0 million of borrowing capacity, which increased to $200.0 million on July 31, 2020 following additional commitments. As a result of the increase in commitments, interest now accrues at an annual rate of one-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1.65%) plus the lesser of (i) 6.95% and (ii) the sum of (a) 6.25% on balances up to $145.5 million and (b) 9.75% on balances greater than $145.5 million.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
