Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

On September 7, 2011, Cash America International, Inc. (“Cash America,” now known as FirstCash, Inc. due to its merger with First Cash Financial Services, Inc. on September 1, 2016), formed a new company, Enova International, Inc. (the “Company”). On September 13, 2011, Cash America contributed to the Company all of the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enova Online Services, Inc., in exchange for 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company became an independent, publicly traded company on November 13, 2014 when Cash America completed the tax-free spin-off of approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company to holders of Cash America’s common stock (the “Spin-off”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired.

The Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) where it has been determined it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The financial statements presented as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for three and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company operates an internet-based lending platform to serve customers in need of cash to fulfill their financial responsibilities. Through a network of direct and indirect marketing channels, the Company offers funds to its customers through a variety of unsecured loan and finance receivable products. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. The Company originates, arranges, guarantees or purchases consumer loans and provides financing to small businesses through a line of credit account or receivables purchase agreement product (“RPAs”). Consumer loans include short-term loans, line of credit accounts and installment loans. RPAs represent a right to receive future receivables from a small business. “Loans and finance receivables” include consumer loans, small business loans and RPAs.

These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and related notes, which are included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2016.

Restricted Cash

The Company includes funds to be used for future debt payments relating to its securitization transactions and escrow deposits in restricted cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the financing products and services it offers. “Revenue” in the consolidated statements of income includes: interest income, finance charges, fees for services provided through the Company’s credit services organization and credit access business programs (“CSO programs”) (“CSO fees”), revenue on RPAs, service charges, draw fees, minimum billing fees, late fees and non-sufficient funds fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. For short-term loans that the Company offers, interest and finance charges are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For line of credit accounts, interest is recognized over the reporting period based upon the balance outstanding and the contractual interest rate, draw fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the estimated outstanding period of the draw, and minimum billing fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. For installment loans, interest is recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For RPAs, revenue is recognized on an effective yield basis over the projected delivery term of the agreements and fees are recognized when assessed. CSO fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. Late and nonsufficient funds fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. Direct costs associated with originating loans and purchasing RPAs, such as third-party customer acquisition costs, are deferred and amortized against revenue on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan or the projected delivery term of the finance receivable. Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans, RPAs, unpaid and accrued interest, fees and revenue and deferred origination costs are included in “Loans and finance receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015‑17 requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent within a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company previously reported $29.0 million and $28.1 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets that have been reclassified to “Deferred tax liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements (“ASU 2015-10”). ASU 2015-10 covers a wide range of topics in the Codification. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost on most entities. The Company adopted ASU 2015-10 on January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-10 did not materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015‑05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350‑40, Internal-Use Software, by providing customers with guidance on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 on January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheets as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge (as an asset). ASU 2015-15, Presentation and subsequent measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, was issued subsequently to permit costs associated with a line of credit arrangement to be presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the arrangement. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, the Company had $11.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs that are required to be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. These amounts were previously recorded in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which provides guidance for reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with ASU 2015-02, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016‑15”). The amendments in ASU 2016‑15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016‑15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016‑15 on its statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”). The amendments in ASU 2016‑13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016‑13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016‑13 on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-09 on its financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities upon issuance. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016‑01”), which requires that equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, in connection with financial statement preparation for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), to clarify revenue recognition accounting when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. Early adoption of ASU 2016‑10 is permitted only as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to reduce the risk of diversity in practice for certain aspects in ASU 2014-09, including collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position and results of operations.

Acquisitions

On June 23, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of a company operating as The Business Backer, LLC, which purchases discounted future accounts receivables from small businesses in the United States through RPAs. The total consideration of $26.4 million was comprised of $17.7 million in cash at closing, a $3.0 million promissory note (included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets) and estimated contingent consideration of $5.7 million based on future earn-out opportunities. The contingent purchase consideration was recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition based upon the Company’s assessment of the probable earnings attributable to the business as defined in the purchase agreement. To the extent operating results exceed the Company’s estimate, additional contingent consideration would be due, however the total consideration paid may not exceed $71 million. The contingent purchase consideration is revalued each reporting period with changes in fair value of the contingent consideration obligations recognized as a gain or loss on fair value remeasurement in our consolidated statements of income. There was no change in fair value measurement of contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

This purchase was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the purchased assets, which were not material, have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables

The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. Short-term loans are considered delinquent when payment of an amount due is not made as of the due date. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer misses one payment, that payment is considered delinquent and the balance of the loan is considered current. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer does not make two consecutive payments, the entire account or loan is classified as delinquent and placed on a non-accrual status. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.

The Company does not accrue interest on delinquent loans and does not resume accrual of interest on a delinquent loan unless it is returned to current status. In addition, delinquent loans generally may not be renewed, and if, during its attempt to collect on a delinquent loan, the Company allows additional time for payment through a payment plan or a promise to pay, it is still considered delinquent. Generally, all payments received are first applied against accrued but unpaid interest and fees and then against the principal balance of the loan.

Allowance and Liability for Estimated Losses on Loans and Finance Receivables

The Company monitors the performance of its loan and finance receivable portfolios and maintains either an allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables (including revenue, fees and/or interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for losses on the Company’s owned loans and finance receivables reduces the outstanding loans and finance receivables balance in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for estimated losses related to loans guaranteed under its CSO programs is initially recorded at fair value and is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

In determining the allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables, the Company applies a documented systematic methodology. In calculating the allowance or liability for receivable losses, outstanding loans and finance receivables are divided into discrete groups of short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs and are analyzed as current or delinquent. Increases in either the allowance or the liability, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as a “Cost of revenue” in the consolidated statements of income.

The allowance or liability for short-term loans classified as current is based on historical loss rates adjusted for recent default trends for current loans. For delinquent short-term loans, the allowance or liability is based on a six-month rolling average of loss rates by stage of collection. For line of credit account, installment loan and RPA portfolios, the Company generally uses a migration analysis to estimate losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance or liability calculation under the migration analysis is based on historical charge-off experience and the loss emergence period, which represents the average amount of time between the first occurrence of a loss event and the charge-off of a loan or RPA. The factors the Company considers to assess the adequacy of the allowance or liability include past due performance, historical behavior of monthly vintages, underwriting changes and recent trends in delinquency in the migration analysis.

The Company fully reserves for loans and finance receivables once the receivable or a portion of the receivable has been classified as delinquent for 60 consecutive days and generally charges off loans and finance receivables between 60 – 65 days delinquent. If a loan or finance receivable is deemed uncollectible before it is fully reserved, it is charged off at that point. Loans and finance receivables classified as delinquent generally have an age of one to 64 days from the date any portion of the receivable became delinquent, as defined above. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.

The components of Company-owned loans and finance receivables at September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Guarantees of Consumer Loans

In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for short-term and installment loans and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans that go into default. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, the amount of consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $29.7 million, $36.7 million and $34.1 million, respectively, representing amounts due under consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company of $1.7 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million, as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Bank Program Loans

In order to leverage its online lending platform, the Company launched a program with a bank in March 2016 to provide technology, marketing services, and loan servicing for near-prime unsecured consumer installment loans. Under the program, the Company receives marketing and servicing fees while the bank receives an origination fee. The bank has the ability to sell the loans it originates to the Company. The Company does not guarantee the performance of the loans originated by the bank.

Investment in Unconsolidated Investee

The Company records an investment in the preferred stock of a privately-held developing small business financial services entity under the cost method. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in this unconsolidated investee was $6.7 million as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, and was held in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluates this investment for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the investment below carrying value. Based on the Company’s evaluation of this investment at September 30, 2016, the Company determined that an impairment loss was not probable at that date.

Consumer Loan Securitization

On January 15, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary (the “Indenture Trustee”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under the Company’s NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to EFR 2016-1, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”), and serviced by another subsidiary.

The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month.  As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility is limited to $175 million.

At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes have been and will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes have been and will be issued to the holders of the Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the latest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”).

The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate is initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. Subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer is not permitted to prepay or redeem any outstanding Securitization Notes prior to October 17, 2016. Following such date, the Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on outstanding Securitization Notes will be made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date. The Securitization Notes are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying Receivables. The holders of the Securitization Notes have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying Receivables are not sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the Securitization Notes. Additionally, the Receivables will be held by the Issuer at least until the obligations under the Securitization Notes are extinguished. For so long as they are held by the Issuer, the outstanding Receivables will not be available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of the Company.

All amounts due under the Securitization Notes are secured by all of the Issuer’s assets, which include the Receivables transferred to the Issuer, related rights under the Receivables, specified bank accounts, and certain other related collateral.

The 2016-1 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the

13


ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

inability of consumers to repay their loans; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters and other subjects; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the Securitization Notes under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, servicer defaults, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables, defaults under other material indebtedness and certain regulatory matters.

On July 26, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between the Company and Enova Finance 5, LLC. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes include revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the variable funding notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of consumer installment loans that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.

On August 17, 2016, the Company and one of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for receivables that the Company sells under the Agreement.

On September 12, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized the Company to include in the 2016-1 Facility receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of the Company from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.

As of September 30, 2016, the carrying amount of the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was $134.5 million, which included unamortized issuance costs of $2.4 million. The issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of four years. The total interest expense recognized was $9.5 million of which $2.6 million represented the non-cash amortization of the issuance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

$35.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility

On May 14, 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a credit agreement among the Company, the guarantors, Jefferies Finance LLC as administrative agent and Jefferies Group LLC as lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement was amended on March 25, 2015 and November 5, 2015. On December 29, 2015, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement, which temporarily increased the Company’s revolving line of credit to $75 million, an increase of $15.0 million ($5.0 million on December 29, 2015 and $10.0 million on January 4, 2016). Once the Company received the proceeds from the consumer loan securitization financing in January 2016, it repaid the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit in full and, in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the revolving commitment amount was reduced to $40.0 million. On June 30, 2016, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 4.00 to 1.00 (from 3.00 to 1.00) and for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 to 3.50 to 1.00 (in each case, from 3.00 to 1.00). On September 30, 2016, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and thereafter to 4.25 to 1.00 (from 3.50 to 1.00) and decreased the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit by $5.0 million from $40.0 million to $35.0 million. The Company had $15.0 million and $58.4 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2015.

The Credit Agreement also includes a sub-limit of up to $20.0 million for standby or commercial letters of credit. In the event that an amount is paid by the issuing bank under a letter of credit, it will be due and payable by the Company on demand. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $6.6 million under its Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015.

In connection with the issuance of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.6 million, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees and legal expenses. The unamortized balance of these costs as of

14


ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

September 30, 2016 is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of 37 months, the term of the Credit Agreement.

$500.0 Million 9.75% Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 30, 2014, the Company issued and sold $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.75% annually on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2014. The Senior Notes were sold at a discount of the principal amount to yield 10.0% to maturity and will mature on June 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amount of the Senior Notes was $485.6 million and $482.8 million, respectively, which included an unamortized discount of $4.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and unamortized issuance costs of $9.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of seven years, through the maturity date of June 1, 2021. The total interest expense recognized was $38.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, of which $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, represented the non-cash amortization of the discount and $1.6 million represented the non-cash amortization of the issuance costs.

Weighted-average interest rates on long-term debt were 10.75% and 10.70% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the prevailing long-term debt agreement(s).

 

 

6.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company identified an error in the income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 in which the Company did not recognize additional tax expense related to the significant decline in the intrinsic value of restricted stock units that vested in December 2015 and thus overstated the deferred tax asset related to those units. The Company recorded an $887 thousand increase in the provision for income taxes in 2016 as an out of period adjustment. The Company believes this correction of an error was not material to the previously-issued full year 2015 consolidated financial statements.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased to 39.6% from 36.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the adjustment to the deferred tax asset.

 

 

7.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Operating Segment Information

The Company provides online financial services to alternative credit consumers and small businesses in the United States, United Kingdom and Brazil and has one reportable segment, which is composed of the Company’s domestic and international operations and corporate services. The Company has aggregated all components of its business into a single reportable segment based on the similarities of the economic characteristics, the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production and distribution methods, the type of customer and the nature of the regulatory environment.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company changed the presentation of its operational information to report shared corporate services separately from its domestic and international operations. Corporate services expenses, which were previously allocated between domestic and international based on revenue, are included under the “Corporate Services” heading in the following tables. For comparison purposes, income (loss) from operations and depreciation and amortization expenses for the prior period have been conformed to the current presentation. Corporate Services primarily includes personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses for shared functions, such as executive management, technology, analytics, business development, legal and licensing, compliance, risk management, internal audit, human resources, payroll, treasury, finance, accounting, and tax. Corporate Services assets primarily include: corporate property and equipment, nonqualified savings plan assets, marketable securities, restricted cash and prepaid expenses.

The following tables present information on the Company’s domestic, international operations and corporate services as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On March 8, 2013, Flemming Kristensen, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Nevada against the Company and other unaffiliated lenders and lead providers. The lawsuit alleges that the lead provider defendants sent unauthorized text messages to consumers on behalf of the Company and the other lender defendants in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks class certification, statutory damages, an injunction against “wireless spam activities,” and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed an answer to the complaint denying all liability. On March 26, 2014, the Court granted class certification. On July 20, 2015, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, denied Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and, on July 21, 2015, entered judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, which was denied. On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the order granting summary judgment for the Company, the judgment in favor of the company, and the order denying Plaintiff’s motion to reconsider. Plaintiff filed his appellate brief on September 9, 2016. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable appellate decision nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this matter can be determined at this time, and the Company is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, as defined by ASC 450-20-20, Contingencies–Loss Contingencies–Glossary, for this litigation. The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Headquarters Relocation

During 2014 the Company accelerated the lease expiration date for approximately 86,000 rentable square feet at its prior headquarters office space effective June 30, 2015. The Company relocated to its current headquarters in 2015 and recognized an expense of $3.7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

million which was included as “General and administrative expense” and consisted of a lease exit liability of $2.9 million for the remaining lease payments, net of estimated sublease income of $1.7 million, and $0.8 million for the removal of property and restoration costs related to the prior headquarters lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded additional expense of $0.3 million reflecting adjustments to prior estimates. The Company does not expect to incur further material costs related to the relocations.

The following table is a summary of the exit and disposal activity and liability balances as a result of the headquarters relocation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically uses derivative instruments to manage risk from changes in market conditions that may affect the Company’s financial performance. The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to manage its primary market risks, which are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company periodically uses forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the effects of foreign currency risk in the United Kingdom. The forward currency exchange contracts are non-designated derivatives. Any gain or loss resulting from these contracts is recorded as income or loss and is included in “Foreign currency transaction gain (loss)” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company currently does not manage its exposure to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of forward currency exchange contracts in Brazil.

The Company’s derivative instruments are presented in its financial statements on a net basis. The Company had no outstanding derivative instruments as of September 30, 2016. The following table presents information related to the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

Related Party Transactions

A current officer of the Company has an ongoing ownership interest in the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities in June 2015 (see Note 2 for additional information). In the normal course of business, the Company attains certain customer relationships from the small business by entering into transactions with the customers to provide additional RPA financing. In these transactions, the Company satisfies the customer’s existing RPA balance with the small business which terminates such customer’s responsibilities to the small business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid $0.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively, to the small business to satisfy customers’ existing RPA balances. Pursuant to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company issued a promissory note to the small business in the amount of $3.0 million (the “Promissory Note”) and granted the company an opportunity to earn certain contingent purchase consideration (see Note 2 for additional information), both of which are guaranteed by the Company. The Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and will mature on June 23, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred interest expense of $91 thousand and $33 thousand, respectively, related to the Promissory Note. In addition, as a condition precedent to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company executed a Transition Services Agreement with the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets whereby it agreed to provide certain transition services to the business for three years following the acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company was paid $27 thousand and $68 thousand, respectively, for such services.

After the Spin-off, Cash America charged the Company a transition services fee related to utilization of financial reporting systems and accounts payable processing that was included in general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded $0.4 million in expense for these services for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company transitioned to its own financial reporting system in late 2015, and the transition services agreement with Cash America ended on December 31, 2015.

The Company and Cash America entered into an agreement in conjunction with the Spin-off for the Company to administer the consumer loan underwriting model utilized by Cash America’s Retail Services Division in exchange for a fee per transaction paid to the Company as well as the reimbursement of the Company’s direct third-party costs incurred in providing the service. The Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

received $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, pursuant to this agreement.

Since May 30, 2014, amounts due from or due to Cash America or FirstCash have been settled a month in arrears. The balance due from Cash America of $0.1 million as of each of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 and from FirstCash of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2016 is included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities

As part of the Company’s overall funding strategy and as part of its efforts to support its liquidity from sources other than its traditional capital market sources, the Company has established a securitization program through the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. The Company transferred certain consumer loan receivables to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiaries (VIEs), which issue term notes backed by the underlying consumer loan receivables and are serviced by another wholly owned subsidiary.

The Company is required to evaluate the VIEs for consolidation. The Company has the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as the servicer of the securitized loan receivables. Additionally, the Company has the right to receive residual payments, which expose it to potentially significant losses and returns. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and is required to consolidate them.

The assets and liabilities related to the VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.

The Company parenthetically discloses on its consolidated balance sheets the VIE’s assets that can only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and the VIE liabilities if the VIE’s creditors have no recourse against the Company’s general credit. The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s securitization entities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. It is the Company’s policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.

The non-qualified savings plan assets are included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and have an offsetting liability of equal amount, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company measures the fair value of its forward currency exchange contracts under Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820. For these forward currency exchange contracts, current market rates are used to determine fair value. The significant inputs used in these models are derived from observable market rates. The fair value of the nonqualified savings plan assets are measured under a Level 1 input. These assets are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily observable.  

The Company determined the fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreement and utilizes assumptions with regard to future earnings, probabilities of achieving such future earnings, the timing of expected payments and a discount rate. Significant increases with respect to assumptions as to future earnings and probabilities of achieving such future earnings would result in a higher fair value measurement while an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in the fair value hierarchy.

The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is a Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are summarized in the table below for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs are included in “Loans and finance receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)

Investment in unconsolidated investee is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(3)

See Note 4 for additional information related to the investment in unconsolidated investee.

(4)

Installment loan and RPAs, net include $176.0 million in net assets of consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2016.

(5)

Restricted cash includes $18.1 million in assets of consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash bear interest at market rates and have original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs are carried in the consolidated balance sheet net of the allowance for estimated losses, which is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross receivable balance. Short-term loans and line of credit accounts have relatively short maturity periods that are generally 12 months or less. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these receivables include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan term; therefore, the carrying value approximates the fair value. The fair value of installment loans and RPAs is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, which consider interest rates on loans and discounts offered for receivables with similar terms to customers with similar credit quality, the timing of expected payments, estimated customer default rates and/or valuations of comparable portfolios. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s installment loans and RPAs was greater than the carrying value of these loans and finance receivables, and as of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s installment loans and RPAs was lower than the carrying value of these loans and finance receivables. This variance is a result of a change in the valuation technique used for certain portions of the installment loan and RPA portfolio. Unsecured installment loans typically have terms between two and 60 months. RPAs typically have estimated delivery terms between six and 18 months.

In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for short-term and installment loans the Company arranges for consumers on the third-party lenders’ behalf and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $1.7 million, $2.0 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its liability for third-party lender-owned consumer loans under Level 3 inputs. The fair value of these liabilities is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these loans include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan terms; therefore, the carrying value of these liabilities approximates the fair value.

The Company measures the fair value of the Promissory Note using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Promissory Note is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. As of September 30, 2016, the Promissory Note had a higher fair value than the carrying value. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, the Promissory Note had a lower fair value than the carrying value.

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

The Company measures the fair value of its Securitization Notes using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s Securitization Notes approximated the carrying value.

The Company measures the fair value of its Credit Agreement borrowings using Level 3 inputs. The Company considered the fair value of its other long-term debt and the timing of expected payment(s). As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s Credit Agreement borrowings approximated the carrying value.

The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s Senior Notes had a lower fair market value than the carrying value based on the price of the last trade of the Senior Notes.

The Company measures the fair value of its investment in unconsolidated investee using Level 3 inputs. Because the unconsolidated investee is a private company and financial information is limited, the Company estimates the fair value based on the best available information at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015 the Company estimated the fair value of its investment to be approximately equal to the book value.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The Company’s Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and are not secured by its other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned, all guarantees are full and unconditional, and all guarantees are joint and several. As a result of the guarantee arrangements, the Company is required, in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, to present the following condensed consolidating financial statements.

The condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the investments in subsidiaries of the Company using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Condensed consolidating financial statements of Enova International, Inc. (the “Parent”), its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015 and for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are shown on the following pages.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and certain factors that may affect future results, including economic and industry-wide factors, of Enova International, Inc. and its subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made, projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services to consumers and small businesses. In 2015, we extended approximately $1.9 billion in credit to borrowers. As of September 30, 2016, we offered or arranged loans to consumers in 33 states in the United States and in the United Kingdom and Brazil. We also offered financing to small businesses in all 50 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financings, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers who and small businesses which have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through September 30, 2016, we have completed over 38.3 million customer transactions and collected approximately 12 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”).

We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.

We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our 12 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions.

Our flexible and scalable technology platform allows us to process and complete customers’ transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2015, we processed approximately 3.6 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loans and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platform allows us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly. In 2012, we launched a new product in the United States designed to serve near-prime customers, and in April 2014 we introduced a similar product in the United Kingdom. In June 2014, we launched a pilot program in Brazil, where we arrange financing for borrowers through a third party lender. In addition, in July 2014, we introduced a pilot program for a new line of credit product in the United States to serve the needs of small businesses. In June 2015, we further expanded our product offering by acquiring certain assets of a company that provides financing to small businesses by offering RPAs (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report). These new products are intended to allow us to further diversify our product offerings, customer base and geographic scope. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, we derived 82.7% of our total revenue from the United States and 17.3% of our total revenue internationally, with 83.9% of international revenue (representing 14.5% of our total revenue) generated in the United Kingdom.

We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lenders. We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.

34


 

Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partners typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and they allow us to complete a high volume of customer transactions while actively managing risk and the related quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technology innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competitive platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable portfolio quality.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds into their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees, interest and/or revenue. We originate, arrange, guarantee or purchase short-term consumer loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services.

 

Short-term consumer loans. Short-term consumer loans are unsecured loans written by us or by a third-party lender through our credit services organization and credit access business programs, which we refer to as our CSO programs, that we arrange and guarantee. As of September 30, 2016, we offered or arranged short-term consumer loans in 18 states in the United States and the United Kingdom. Short-term consumer loans generally have terms of seven to 90 days, with proceeds promptly deposited in the customer’s bank account in exchange for a pre-authorized debit from their account. Due to the credit risk and high transaction costs of serving our customer segment, the interest and/or fees we charge are generally considered to be higher than the interest or fees charged to consumers with superior credit histories by banks and similar lenders who are typically unwilling to make unsecured loans to alternative credit consumers. Our short-term consumer loans contributed approximately 26.9% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 32.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Line of credit accounts. We offer consumer line of credit accounts in seven states in the United States and business line of credit accounts in 24 states in the United States, which allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of their line of credit account. As long as the customer’s account is in good standing and has credit available, customers may continue to borrow on their line of credit. As a result of regulatory changes in 2014, we discontinued offering line of credit accounts to customers in the United Kingdom effective January 1, 2015. Our line of credit accounts contributed approximately 29.2% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 29.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Installment loans. Installment loans are longer-term loans that require the outstanding principal balance to be paid down in multiple installments. We offer, or arrange through our CSO programs, multi-payment unsecured consumer installment loan products in 17 states in the United States and in the United Kingdom and Brazil. Terms for our installment loan products range between two and 60 months. These loans generally have higher principal amounts than short-term loans. The loan may be repaid early at any time with no prepayment charges. Our installment loans contributed approximately 41.0% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 38.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Receivables purchase agreements. Under RPAs, small businesses receive funds in exchange for a portion of the business’s future receivables at an agreed upon discount. In contrast, lending is a commitment to repay principal and interest. A small business customer who enters into a RPA commits to delivering a percentage of its receivables through ACH or wire debits or by splitting credit card receipts until all purchased receivables are delivered. We offer RPAs in all 50 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Revenue earned from RPAs contributed 2.7% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and less than 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

CSO Programs. Through our CSO programs, we provide services related to third-party lenders’ short-term and installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO programs include credit-related services such as arranging loans with independent third-party lenders and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”). Under our CSO programs, we guarantee consumer loan payment obligations to the third party lender in the event the customer defaults on the loan. When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We in turn are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific short-term loans, which generally have terms of less than 90 days, and specific installment loans, which have terms of four to 12 months, if they go into default.

35


 

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding amount of active short-term consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $23.4 million and $26.0 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding amount of active installment loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $6.3 million and $10.7 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.

 

Bank program. In March 2016, we launched a program with a state-chartered bank where we provide technology, loan servicing and marketing services to the bank in 10 states in the United States as of September 30, 2016. Our bank partner offers unsecured consumer installment loans with an annual percentage rate (“APR”) at or below 36%. We also have the ability to purchase loans originated through this program. We plan to grow this program through expanding to more states and adding additional partners. Revenue generated from this program for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 0.4% of our total revenue.

OUR MARKETS

We currently provide our services in the following countries:

 

United States. We began our online business in the United States in May 2004. As of September 30, 2016, we provide services in all 50 states and Washington D.C. We market our financing products under the names CashNetUSA at www.cashnetusa.com, NetCredit at www.netcredit.com, Headway Capital at www.headwaycapital.com and The Business Backer at www.businessbacker.com.

 

United Kingdom. We provide services in the United Kingdom under the names QuickQuid at www.quickquid.co.uk, Pounds to Pocket at www.poundstopocket.co.uk and On Stride Financial at www.onstride.co.uk.

We offered a line of credit product from March 2013 to December 2014 under the brand name QuickQuid FlexCredit.

 

Brazil. On June 30, 2014, we launched a pilot program in Brazil where we arrange installment loans for a third party lender under the name Simplic at www.simplic.com.br. We plan to continue to invest and expand our lending in Brazil as the program moves out of a pilot phase.

The Company’s internet websites and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Exiting Australia and Canada Markets

We previously provided services under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.com.au in Australia, and we began providing services there in May 2009. We previously provided services in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.ca, and we began providing services there in October 2009. Due to the small size of the Australian and Canadian markets and our limited operations there, management decided to exit those markets and reallocate our resources to our other existing businesses. As a result, we have stopped lending activities and have begun to wind down our loan portfolios.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On June 2, 2016, the CFPB issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “Proposed Rule”) on Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans. The Proposed Rule would impose significant limitations on all short-term and installment loans with APRs above 36%, including all of our short-term loan products and certain of our installment loan products. Among other provisions, the Proposed Rule requires lenders to conduct a specific assessment regarding a borrower’s ability to repay, including a requirement to verify borrowers’ income and major financial obligations. The Proposed Rule also includes limitations on the number of loans that certain borrowers can have within a specified time frame and requires additional disclosures in loan documents and notices regarding payments. The Proposed Rule was published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2016, and comments on the Proposed Rule were due to the CFPB by October 7, 2016. The CFPB will review all submitted comments before issuing a final rule. The issuance of the final rule is not expected until mid-2017, and the implementation date of the final rule is not expected until mid to late-2018. We do not currently know the nature and extent of the final rule that the CFPB will adopt. As a result, it is not currently possible to predict the ultimate scope, extent, nature, timing or effect of any rule eventually adopted and made effective by the CFPB. We cannot give any assurances that the effect of such rule will not have a material impact on our U.S. products and services.

On July 28, 2016, the CFPB, pursuant to the authority provided in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), issued an outline of proposals pertaining to third-party debt collectors and others covered by the Fair Debt

36


 

Collection Practices Act (the “FDCPA”) that is intended to increase consumer protection during debt collection (“Debt Collection Outline”). In the Debt Collection Outline, the CFPB is considering substantive rules under the FDCPA that would, among other proposals: (i) require collectors to substantiate the debt and confirm that they have sufficient consumer information before starting collection; (ii) limit communication attempts to six per week through any point of contact; (iii) make it easier for consumers to stop specific ways collectors are contacting them; (iv) prohibit collectors from communicating with certain parties for 30 days after a consumer’s death; (v) make it easier for consumers to dispute debts by, among other proposals, requiring collectors to include more specific information about the debt in the initial collection notices sent to consumers as well as a “tear-off” portion of the notice that consumers could send back to the collector; (vi) require collectors to verify a debt through a written report if the debt is disputed in writing by a consumer; (vii) prohibit collectors from continuing collection efforts or suing for debt until the necessary documentation is checked if a consumer disputes the debt; and (viii) require a subsequent holder of a debt to resolve any outstanding dispute about the debt before attempting to collect.

The proposals in the Debt Collection Outline would apply to our collection of debt originated by other lenders, including under our CSO programs and our bank program. The proposals in the Debt Collection Outline would not apply to our collection of debt that we originate; however, the CFPB has announced that it plans to address consumer protection issues involving first-party debt collectors and creditors separately. The CFPB published its Debt Collection Outline in preparation for convening a Small Business Review Panel to determine whether its proposal could have a significant economic impact on small businesses. The Debt Collection Outline does not include proposed or final rules, and any future rules could be significantly different from those in the Debt Collection Outline. The CFPB has not yet defined a date for any proposed rules related to debt collection nor has it defined the effective date for the implementation of final rules. We cannot give any assurances that the effect of such rules will not have a material impact on our U.S. products and services.

Financial Conduct Authority and Competition and Markets Authority

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our U.K. operations generated 14.5% and 21.5%, respectively, of our consolidated total revenue. Regulatory changes in the United Kingdom during 2014 significantly affected our results from our U.K. operations as described below.

In the United Kingdom, supervision of consumer credit was transferred on April 1, 2014 to the Financial Conduct Authority, (the “FCA”) and pursuant to new legislation, the FCA is authorized to adopt prescriptive rules and regulations. As required by the 2013 amendment to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, or FSMA, the FCA implemented a cap on the total cost of high-cost short-term credit, effective January 2, 2015. The final rule reflects a maximum rate of 0.8% of principal per day, and limits the total fees, interest (including post-default interest) and charges (including late fees which are capped at £15) to an aggregate amount not to exceed 100% of the principal amount loaned. The rule required us to make changes to all of our high-cost short-term products in the United Kingdom. As a result of the final rule, we discontinued offering line of credit accounts to new customers in the United Kingdom in late 2014 and, effective January 1, 2015, we discontinued draws on existing accounts in the United Kingdom. The FCA has a statutory duty to reevaluate the rate cap rules in 2017. We cannot give any assurances that the result of that review and any new rules will not have a material impact on our U.K. products and services.

On January 29, 2016, we received full authorization from the FCA to provide consumer credit and to perform related activities for both of our U.K. businesses. We will be required to continue to satisfy certain minimum standards set out in the FSMA, which may result in additional costs to us.

On August 13, 2015, the Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) published a final order which will require online lenders to provide details of their products on at least one price comparison website which is authorized by the FCA once the FCA publishes rules concerning price comparison websites. The CMA will also require online and storefront lenders to provide existing customers with a summary of their cost of borrowing as of August 13, 2016. The summary cost of borrowing statement requires disclosure of the cost of the consumer’s most recent loan, the cumulative cost of borrowing over the previous 12 months and the impact of a late repayment. On October 28, 2015, FCA issued a consultation paper that, among other things, proposed additional regulations regarding the price comparison website and the summary cost of borrowing statement. Comments on the proposals were due to the FCA by January 28, 2016, and on May 26, 2016, the FCA published its Policy Statement setting forth the final rules for price comparison websites. Price comparison websites must be in compliance with the FCA’s final rules by December 1, 2016. The obligations on lenders arising from the FCA’s final rules on price comparison websites do not come into effect until May 23, 2017, and we are confident in our ability to comply with those requirements in a timely manner. We do not currently know how the rules regarding price comparison websites will affect our business operations. If the implementation negatively impacts consumer acceptance of our products or the consumer experience in obtaining loans or if it otherwise significantly restricts the conduct of our business, such implementation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Safe Harbor Provisions

On October 6, 2015, the European Court of Justice invalidated the so-called “Safe Harbor” framework, which previously evidenced compliance with the U.K. Data Protection Act and the European Union Data Protection Directive and allowed companies to pass European Union data to non-European Union countries if certain certification requirements were met by the company. Although many companies, including us, had Safe Harbor certification, the European Union and the United Kingdom provide other guidance regarding compliance with their data protection laws and regulations for companies who pass data outside the European Union. In addition, there are circumstances under which a company is exempt from complying with those laws and regulations. Despite the invalidation of the Safe Harbor framework, we believe we are exempt from and/or in compliance with all E.U. and U.K. privacy laws and regulations.

On February 2, 2016, the European Commission and the United States agreed on a new framework for transatlantic data flows, the “EU-US Privacy Shield”, which will replace the invalidated Safe Harbor framework. The EU-US Privacy Shield is a framework designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Commerce Department”) and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce. On July 12, 2016, the European Commission adopted the EU-US Privacy Shield, which consists of four components: (i) the privacy shield principles, which is a code of conduct outlining protections for the handling of personal data; (ii) oversight and enforcement; (iii) ombudsperson mechanism; and (iv) safeguards and limitations. The Commerce Department began accepting certifications to the EU-US Privacy Shield on August 1, 2016. We expect to apply for certification to the EU-US Privacy Shield, and in the interim, despite the invalidation of the Safe Harbor framework, we believe we are exempt from and/or are in compliance with all E.U. and U.K. privacy laws and regulations.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union. The details and timeline of the exit have not yet been finalized. When the United Kingdom exits the European Union, it is expected that the United Kingdom will establish a new framework for data flow between the United Kingdom and the United States or will agree to continue the protections of the EU-US Privacy Shield for the transfer of personal data into and out of the United Kingdom. We expect to comply with any framework established by the United Kingdom for the transfer of personal data into and out of the United Kingdom.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our

39


 

financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these expense items.

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

Adjusted EBITDA

The table below shows Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and lease termination and relocation costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustment for lease termination and relocation costs shown below is useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of the expense item. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (in thousands):

Constant Currency Basis

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency basis. We operate in the United Kingdom and Brazil. During the current quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, 15.6% and 17.3%, respectively, of our revenue originated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the British Pound Sterling. As a result, changes in our reported revenue and profits include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As additional information to the reader, we provide constant currency assessments in the following discussion and analysis to remove and/or quantify the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilize constant currency results in our analysis of performance. Our constant currency assessment assumes foreign exchange rates in the current fiscal periods remained the same as in the prior fiscal year periods. All conversion rates below are based on the U.S. Dollar equivalent to one of the applicable foreign currencies:

Management believes that our non-GAAP constant currency assessments are a useful measure, as they indicate the actual growth and profitability of our operations.

Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures

In addition to reporting loans and finance receivables balance information in accordance with GAAP (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report), we have provided Combined loans and finance receivables, gross, Combined loans and finance receivables, net, Allowance and liability for losses as a percent of loans and finance receivables, gross, Cost of revenue as a percent of average short-term combined loan balance, gross and Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percent of average short-term combined loan balance, gross, or, collectively, the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures. The Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures are non-GAAP measures that include both loans and RPAs we own and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. See “—Loan and Finance Receivable Balances,” “—Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience” and “—Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product” below for reconciliations between Company owned loans and finance receivables, gross, allowance and liability for losses, cost of revenue and charge-offs (net of recoveries) calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures.

Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivable portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management also believes that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our balance sheet since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our financial statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $30.7 million, or 18.6%, to $195.9 million for the current quarter as compared to $165.2 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $35.3 million, or 21.4%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $31.7 million, primarily resulting from a 40.7% increase in domestic line of credit account revenue and a 34.3% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter driven by strong customer demand for these products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $1.0 million (an increase of $3.7 million on a constant currency basis) from our international operations, primarily due to the wind-down of our Canadian and Australian businesses and the continued effects of the regulatory changes in the United Kingdom in 2014.

Our gross profit increased by $0.9 million to $100.5 million for the current quarter from $99.6 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by $4.1 million for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or our gross profit margin, decreased to 51.3%, or 51.7% on a constant currency basis, for the current quarter, from 60.3% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the continued strong growth of our domestic line of credit and RPA portfolios, resulting in a higher mix of those products in the total portfolio, a higher mix of new customers, which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance, and the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit in the prior year quarter. Gross profit from the discontinued U.K. line of credit product decreased $4.2 million in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding that discontinued product, our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 50.8% for the current quarter from 57.8% for the prior year quarter. See “—Recent Regulatory Developments—Financial Conduct Authority” above for further information. Management expects the consolidated gross profit margin will continue to be influenced by the mix of loans to new and returning customers, the mix of lower yielding and higher yielding loan products, and loan originations for our U.K. operations.

Loan and Finance Receivable Balances

Our loan and finance receivable balance in our consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $637.6 million and $445.5 million, respectively, before the allowance for losses of $94.7 million and $64.7 million, respectively. The combined loan and finance receivable balance includes $29.7 million and $36.7 million as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of consumer loan balances that are guaranteed by us but not owned by us, which are not included in our consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, before the liability for estimated losses of $1.7 million and $2.0 million provided in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in our consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The ending portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance for losses, increased $162.1 million, or 42.6%, to $542.9 million as of September 30, 2016 from $380.8 million as of September 30, 2015, and the outstanding combined portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance and liability for estimated losses, increased $155.3 million, or 37.4%, to $570.8 million as of September 30, 2016 from $415.5 million as of September 30, 2015, primarily due to increased demand for our domestic near-prime installment and line of credit products and growth of our loan and finance receivable portfolios serving the needs of small businesses. The outstanding loan balance for our domestic near-prime product increased 66.3% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulting in a domestic near-prime portfolio balance that comprises nearly 43% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio balance while short-term loans comprised less than 13% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio

43


 

balance in the current quarter, compared to 18% in the prior year quarter. We expect this trend to continue as we increase the number of states offering a near-prime installment lending product under our bank program. Management expects the loan balances for our domestic near-prime installment loan product will continue to comprise a larger percentage of the total loan and finance receivable portfolio, due to customer demand for these products and their longer loan term. Additionally, our portfolio of loans and finance receivables serving the needs of small businesses continues to grow and now comprises more than 13% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio. See “—Non-GAAP Disclosure—Combined Loans and Finance Receivables” above for additional information related to combined loans and finance receivables.

Average Amount Outstanding per Loan

The average amount outstanding per loan is calculated as the total combined consumer loans, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined consumer loans outstanding at the end of the period. The following table shows the average amount outstanding per loan by product at September 30, 2016 and 2015:

The average amount outstanding per consumer loan increased to $1,252 from $1,023 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a greater mix of installment loans and line of credit accounts, which have higher average amounts outstanding relative to short-term loans, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Average Loan Origination

The average loan origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans originated and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined consumer loans originated and renewed for the period.

The average loan origination amount increased to $539 from $528 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to a greater mix of installment loans, which have higher average amounts per loan relative to short-term loans.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience

The allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined consumer loans and RPAs increased to 14.5% as of September 30, 2016 from 13.8% as of September 30, 2015, primarily due to a greater concentration of new customers from growth in our near-prime installment loans and domestic line of credit products.

The cost of revenue in the current quarter was $95.4 million, which was composed of $95.5 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. The cost of revenue in the prior year quarter was $65.6 million, which was composed of $65.1 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and $0.5 million related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $74.3 million and $51.0 million in the current quarter and the prior year quarter, respectively.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product

Management evaluates loss rates for all financing products in our portfolio to determine credit quality and evaluate trends. For our products, we evaluate loans and finance receivables losses as a percentage of the average loan and finance receivable balance outstanding or the average combined loan and finance receivable balance outstanding, whichever is applicable, for each portfolio.

Short-term Loans

Demand for our short-term loan product in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers’ receipt of income tax refunds. Following regulatory changes in the United Kingdom in 2014, demand for short-term loans in that market increased throughout 2015 and into 2016 while demand in the United States remained softer in comparison to 2015. Continued higher demand in the United Kingdom, partially offset by lower demand in the United States because of macroeconomic factors such as low unemployment, rising wages and low gas prices, led to lower short-term loan balances on a year-over-year basis as of the end of the third quarter of 2016.

Our gross profit margin for short-term loans is typically highest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to the seasonal decline in consumer loan balances outstanding. The cost of revenue as a percentage of the average combined loan balance for short-term loans outstanding is typically lower in the first quarter and generally peaks in the second half of the year with higher loan demand.

Line of Credit Accounts

The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan balance for line of credit accounts exhibits a similar quarterly seasonal trend to short-term loan loss rates as the ratio is typically lower in the first quarter and increases throughout the remainder of the year, peaking in the second half of the year with higher loan demand. The gross profit margin is generally lower for line of credit accounts as compared to short-term loans because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the account, while revenue is recognized over the term of the account. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth as was seen in the current quarter, the gross profit margin will be lower for this product than for our short-term loan products. Conversely, in periods of declining originations and portfolio contraction, as was the case in the first half of 2015 due to the wind down of the U.K. line of credit portfolio, the gross profit margin will be higher for this product. As of September 30, 2016, the U.K. line of credit portfolio balance, net of allowance for losses, was $38 thousand compared to $0.5 million as of September 30, 2015. The year over year increase in the allowance for losses as a percentage of loan balance was due to higher demand for the domestic line of credit product in the third quarter of 2016.

Installment Loans and RPAs

The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan and finance receivable balance for installment loans and RPAs is typically more consistent throughout the year as compared to short-term loans and line of credit accounts. Due to the scheduled monthly or bi-weekly payments and delivery of receivables that are inherent with installment loans and RPAs, we do not experience the higher level of repayments in the first quarter for these products as we experience with short-term loans and, to a lesser extent, line of credit accounts.

The gross profit margin is generally lower for the installment loan product than for other loan products, primarily because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the loan, while revenue is recognized over the term of the loan. In addition, installment loans and RPAs typically have higher average origination amounts. Another factor contributing to the lower gross profit margin is that the product yield for installment loans and RPAs is typically lower than the yield for the other financing products we offer. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth for the installment loan and RPA portfolios, which has been the case in recent years, the gross profit margin is typically lower for this product than for our short-term loan and line of credit products. Our average installment combined loan and RPA portfolio balance outstanding at September 30, 2016 increased 55.9% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, we experienced a lower gross profit margin than we experienced in the prior year quarter as a result of the growth in our domestic near-prime installment portfolio and RPAs and a lower concentration of U.K. installment loans in the portfolio due to changes initiated in that market in 2014.

Total Expenses

Total expenses decreased $8.2 million, or 10.2%, to $72.5 million in the current quarter, compared to $80.7 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $6.9 million, or 8.5%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Marketing expense decreased to $26.7 million in the current quarter compared to $35.6 million in the prior year quarter. Lower online marketing, television advertising and revenue sharing costs were partially offset by higher direct mail costs.

Operations and technology expense increased to $20.7 million in the current quarter compared to $18.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher underwriting costs for our installment and RPA products in our domestic operations, higher headcount costs in our call center, higher domestic transaction costs and hardware and software costs related to our data center.

General and administrative expense decreased $1.3 million, or 5.8%, to $21.3 million in the current quarter compared to $22.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower third-party legal and compliance costs associated with the regulatory changes in the United Kingdom in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by higher incentive expenses.

48


 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million, or 2.4%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased $2.8 million, or 21.3%, to $16.1 million in the current quarter compared to $13.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $144.7 million to $627.3 million during the current quarter from $482.6 million during the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.42% during the current quarter from 10.69% during the prior year quarter resulting from unsecured revolving line of credit and securitization borrowings, which carry a lower average interest rate.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $3.3 million, or 318.3%, to $4.3 million in the current quarter compared to $1.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a 122.8% increase in income before income taxes and an increase in the effective tax rate to 35.4% in the current quarter from 18.8% in the prior year quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate in the current quarter is mainly due to an adjustment related to share based compensation deferred tax which was partially offset by lower nondeductible executive compensation and lobbying expenses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the prior year quarter was driven by adjustments for discrete tax items resulting from the filing of the 2014 tax returns.

As of the current quarter, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized domestic tax benefits will change by a significant amount. The Company records interest and penalties related to tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.

The Company’s U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The IRS audits for tax years 2011 through 2014 were concluded with no adjustments to the financial statements. The 2015 tax year is open to examination by the IRS and major state taxing jurisdictions.

Net Income

Net income increased $3.4 million, or 77.4%, to $7.8 million during the current quarter compared to $4.4 million during the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to lower operating expenses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $65.9 million, or 13.8%, to $543.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, or current nine-month period, as compared to $477.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, or prior year nine-month period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $75.5 million, or 15.8%, for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $83.0 million, resulting from a 38.9% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue and a 40.6% increase in line of credit revenue in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period primarily driven by growth in our near-prime installment and line of credit account products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $17.0 million (or $7.5 million on a constant currency basis) from our international operations, primarily due to the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit product.

Our gross profit decreased by $18.8 million to $312.7 million for the current nine-month period from $331.5 million for the prior year nine-month period. On a constant currency basis, gross profit decreased by $13.1 million for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 57.6% for the current nine-month period, from 69.5% for the prior year nine-month period. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the strong growth of our domestic line of credit and installment portfolios and RPA portfolio resulting in a higher mix of those products in the total portfolio, higher mix of new customers which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance, and the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit product. Gross profit from the discontinued U.K. line of credit product decreased $27.6 million for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Excluding that discontinued product, our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 56.8% for the current nine-month period from 65.9% for the prior year nine-month period. See “—Recent Regulatory Developments—Financial Conduct Authority” above for further information. Management expects the consolidated gross profit margin will continue to be influenced by the mix of loans to new and returning customers, the mix of lower yielding and higher yielding loan products, and loan originations for our U.K. operations and near-prime products.

Average Loan Origination

The average loan origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans originated and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined consumer loans originated and renewed for the period. The following table shows the average loan origination amount by product for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period:

(d)

Excludes RPAs.

The average loan origination amount remained flat at $523 from $522 during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, mainly due to a decrease in the size of average short-term loan originations, offset by a greater mix of installment loans, which have higher average amounts per loan relative to short-term loans.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience

The allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined consumer loans and RPAs increased to 14.5% as of September 30, 2016 from 13.8% as of September 30, 2015, primarily due to a greater concentration of new customers from growth in our near-prime installment loans and domestic line of credit products.

The cost of revenue in the current nine-month period was $230.4 million, which was composed of $230.4 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables as there was no significant change in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. The cost of revenue in the prior year nine-month period was $145.7 million, which was composed of $145.3 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and $0.4 million related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $202.9 million and $144.7 million in the current nine-month period and the prior year nine-month period, respectively.

Total Expenses

Total expenses decreased $4.1 million, or 1.8%, to $224.0 million in the current nine-month period, compared to $228.1 million in the prior year nine-month period. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 0.3%, for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period.

Marketing expense decreased to $73.5 million in the current nine-month period compared to $84.4 million in the prior year nine-month period. Lower revenue-sharing costs and online marketing costs were partially offset by higher lead generation costs and direct mail costs.

Operations and technology expense increased to $61.7 million in the current nine-month period compared to $54.2 million in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to higher underwriting and transaction costs for our installment and RPA products in our domestic operations and higher software costs.

General and administrative expense increased $1.5 million, or 1.9%, to $76.8 million in the current nine-month period compared to $75.3 million in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to higher personnel expenses resulting from our 2015 acquisition of certain assets of The Business Backer, higher incentive accruals due to stronger performance in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, and higher consulting expenses related to various initiatives, partially offset by lower occupancy expense related to the relocation of our headquarters in the second quarter of 2015.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.2 million, or 15.5%, in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation in the prior year nine-month period resulting from the early termination of our lease for the relocation of our headquarters that occurred in 2015.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased $8.6 million, or 21.7%, to $48.1 million in the current nine-month period compared to $39.5 million in the prior year nine-month period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $121.6 million to $603.5 million during the current nine-month period from $481.9 million during the prior year nine-month period, and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.75% during the current nine-month period from 10.70% during the prior year nine-month period resulting from interest and loan issuance cost amortization related to the 2016-1 Securitization Facility and, to a lesser extent, outstanding unsecured revolving line of credit borrowings in the current year compared to none in the prior year nine-month period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes decreased $5.9 million, or 25.8%, to $17.0 million in the current nine-month period compared to $22.9 million in the prior year nine-month period. The decrease was primarily due to a 31.6% decrease in income before income taxes

51


 

partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate to 39.6% in the current nine-month period from 36.5% in the prior year nine-month period. The increase in the effective tax rate in the current nine-month period is mainly due to an adjustment related to share based compensation deferred tax which was partially offset by lower nondeductible executive compensation and lobbying expenses in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period.

Net Income

Net income decreased $13.9 million, or 35.0%, to $25.9 million during the current nine-month period compared to $39.8 million during the prior year nine-month period. The decrease was primarily due to the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit product which contributed $35.5 million in gross profit in the prior year nine-month period compared to $4.7 million in the current nine-month period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Funding Strategy

Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities to fund both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan products, and to meet the continued growth in the demand for our near-prime installment products. On May 30, 2014, we issued and sold $500.0 million in senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”). On May 14, 2014, we entered into our credit agreement, which was amended on March 25, 2015, November 5, 2015, December 29, 2015, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, as further described below under “Credit Agreement.” As of November 1, 2016, our available borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $13.4 million. On January 15, 2016, we entered into the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, as further described below. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer loan securitization.

As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through loan repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under our Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.

Consumer Loan Securitization

On January 15, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary. The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under our NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”) and serviced by another subsidiary.

The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month. As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility is limited to $175 million.

At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes have been and will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes have been and will be issued to the holders of the Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the latest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”).

The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016. The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate is initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. Subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer is not permitted to prepay or redeem any outstanding Securitization Notes prior to October 17, 2016. Following such date, the Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding

52


 

Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on outstanding Securitization Notes will be made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date.

All amounts due under the Securitization Notes are secured by all of the Issuer’s assets, which include the Receivables transferred to the Issuer, related rights under the Receivables, specified bank accounts, and certain other related collateral.

The 2016-1 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay their loans; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters and other subjects; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the Securitization Notes under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, servicer defaults, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables, defaults under other material indebtedness and certain regulatory matters.

On July 26, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between us and Enova Finance 5, LLC. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes include revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the variable funding notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of consumer installment loans that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.

On August 17, 2016, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for receivables that we sell under the Agreement.

On September 12, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized us to include in the 2016-1 Facility receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of us from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.

On October 20, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver (the “Third Amendment) to amend the Indenture Agreement. The Third Amendment increased the Maximum Principal Amount to $275 million, increased the Variable Funding Note Maximum Principal Amount to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, and extended the term of the facility to October 2017. The Third Amendment also adjusted the Note Interest Rate on Term Notes issued after, and amounts outstanding under the Variable Funding Note after, the date of the Third Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). The weighted average interest rate on such adjusted Notes will be 9.5%.

Credit Agreement

On March 25, 2015, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to our revolving credit facility with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent. The amendment reduced our unsecured revolving line of credit to $65.0 million (from $75.0 million) and increased an additional senior secured indebtedness basket to the greater of $20.0 million or 2.75% of consolidated total assets (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (from $15.0 million or 2% of consolidated total assets). In addition, the March 25, 2015 amendment revised certain definitions and provisions relating to limitations on indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes and burdensome agreements to allow certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which opt to become guarantors of our obligations under the Credit Agreement, to be treated as domestic subsidiaries for purposes of those provisions.

On November 5, 2015, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which further reduced our unsecured revolving line of credit to $60.0 million (from $65.0 million) and increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement to 3.75 to 1.00 (from 3.00 to 1.00) solely for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. In addition, the November 5, 2015 amendment (i) revised certain definitions and provisions to clarify the treatment of securitization subsidiaries as defined in the credit agreement, and (ii) clarified the treatment of operating leases under the credit agreement in light of contemplated changes to accounting treatment concerning such operating leases.

On December 29, 2015, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which temporarily increased our unsecured revolving line of credit to $75.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million ($5.0

53


 

million on December 29, 2015 and $10.0 million on January 4, 2016). Once we received the proceeds from the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, we repaid the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit in full and, in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the revolving commitment amount was reduced to $40.0 million.

On June 30, 2016, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 4.00 to 1.00 (from 3.00 to 1.00) and for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 to 3.50 to 1.00 (in each case, from 3.00 to 1.00).

On September 30, 2016, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and thereafter to 4.25 to 1.00 (from 3.50 to 1.00).

Our Credit Agreement will mature on June 30, 2017. The outstanding balance of our revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement was $15.0 million as of September 30, 2016. We had standby letters of credit of $6.6 million under our Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $95.2 million, or 46.3%, to $300.7 million for the current nine-month period from $205.5 million for the prior year nine-month period. The increase was primarily driven by an $84.7 million increase in cost of revenue, a non-cash expense, during the current nine-month period, partially offset by a $13.9 million decrease in net income.

Other significant changes in net cash provided by operating activities for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period included cash flows from the following activities:

 

changes in current income taxes payable resulted in a $23.1 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities primarily due to our 2015 extension and 2015 quarterly estimated tax payments, with the expectation that the overpayments generated with the 2015 tax filings will be carried forward to offset 2016 tax payments due;

 

changes in finance and service charges on loans and finance receivables resulted in a $9.9 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to higher rate of loans and finance receivables originated or purchased compared to loans and finance receivables repaid; and

 

changes in other receivables and prepaid expenses resulted in a $5.5 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to the timing of hardware and software maintenance support contracts and other expenses.

Management believes cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our 2016-1 Securitization Facility and Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof and additional securitization of consumer loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.

54


 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $134.5 million, or 54.9%, for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to an increase of $136.7 million in cash invested in loans and finance receivables due to a 19.0% increase in loans and finance receivables originated or purchased as well as a $32.8 million increase in the restricted cash balance resulting from activity related to the 2016-1 Securitization Facility and a cash security deposit for a third-party service provider. These increases were partially offset by an $17.2 million decrease in property and equipment expenditures to $11.5 million in the current nine-month period compared to $28.7 million in the prior year nine-month period, primarily related to the finish out and relocation of our headquarters in the prior year, and a $17.7 million decrease in payments related to the acquisition of certain assets of a company operating as The Business Backer, LLC in the prior year. Management anticipates that total expenditures for property and equipment will be between $11 million and $16 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, primarily for continued development activities related to our technology platform and the purchase of computer hardware.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the current nine-month period primarily reflects $137.0 million in net borrowings under our 2016-1 Securitization Facility, partially offset by $43.4 million of net repayments under our unsecured revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement and $3.5 million of debt issuance costs paid in connection with the consumer loan securitization financing transactions. We had no cash flows from financing activities during the prior year nine-month period.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In certain markets, we arrange for consumers to obtain consumer loan products from independent third-party lenders through our CSO programs. For consumer loan products originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the customer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. When a customer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the customer, to provide certain services to the customer, one of which is to guarantee the customer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the customer from the third-party lender if the customer fails to do so. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans if they go into default, which generally occurs after one payment is missed. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $29.7 million and $36.7 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company of $1.7 million and $2.0 million, as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Our CSO programs are further described under the caption “Products and Services” above.

 

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks since December 31, 2015.

 

 

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2016 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent or detect all possible misstatements due to error or fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, except as follows:

The CFPB will soon promulgate a new rule affecting the consumer lending industry, and this rule or a subsequent new rule and regulations may significantly restrict the conduct of our U.S. consumer lending business.

On June 2, 2016, the CFPB issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “Proposed Rule”) on Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans. The Proposed Rule would impose significant limitations on all short-term loans and on installment loans with an APR above 36%, including our short-term loan products and certain of our installment loan and line of credit products. Among other requirements, the Proposed Rule obligates lenders to conduct a specific assessment regarding a borrower’s ability to repay, including a requirement to verify borrowers’ income and major financial obligations. The Proposed Rule also includes limitations on the number of loans that certain borrowers can have within a specified time frame and requires additional disclosures in loan documents and notices regarding payments.

In preparation for the release of the new rule, the CFPB has taken several preliminary steps, including the issuance of a report on April 24, 2013, entitled “Payday Loans and Deposit Advance Products: A White Paper of Initial Findings,” in which the CFPB indicated that it had “engaged in an in-depth review of short-term small dollar loans, including payday loans.” In addition, on March 25, 2014, the CFPB held a hearing on payday lending and issued a report entitled “CFPB Data Point: Payday Lending,” presenting “the results of several analyses of consumers’ use of payday loans.” On March 26, 2015, the CFPB published its outline of proposals for regulating high-cost short-term loans, installment loans, open ended lines of credit, and other loans. On April 20, 2016, the CFPB issued a report titled “Online Payday Loan Payments,” which examined 2011-12 bank data on returned ACH payments of online payday loan borrowers who were customers of certain banks included in the study. Also on April 20, 2016, the CFPB Director delivered prepared remarks regarding the report, stating that the CFPB would “consider this data further as we continue to prepare new regulations to address issues with small-dollar lending.”

The Proposed Rule was published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2016, and comments on the Proposed Rule were due to the CFPB by October 7, 2016. The CFPB will review all submitted comments before issuing a final rule. The issuance of the final rule is not expected by the industry until mid-2017, and the implementation date of the final rule is not expected until mid- to late-2018. If the CFPB adopts a final rule that significantly restricts the conduct of our business, any such rule could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows or could make the continuance of all or part of our U.S. business impractical or unprofitable. Any new rule adopted by the CFPB could also result in significant compliance costs.

The United Kingdom has imposed, and continues to impose, increased regulation of the short-term high-cost credit industry with the stated expectation that some firms will exit the market.

In the United Kingdom, the FCA regulates consumer credit and related activities pursuant to the FSMA and the FCA Handbook, which includes prescriptive rules and regulations and carries across many of the standards set out in the CCA and its secondary legislation as well as previous guidance initially set out by the OFT. The regulations under the FCA consumer credit regime are more prescriptive than the former U.K. consumer credit regime. The FSMA gives the FCA the power to authorize, supervise, examine and bring enforcement actions against providers of consumer credit, as well as to make rules for the regulation of consumer credit. On February 28, 2014, the FCA issued the CONC contained in the FCA Handbook. The CONC incorporates prescriptive regulations for consumer loans such as those that we offer, including mandatory affordability checks on borrowers, limiting the number of rollovers on short-term loans to two, restricting how lenders can advertise, banning advertisements that the FCA deems misleading, and introducing a limit of two unsuccessful attempts on the use of continuous payment authority (which provides a creditor the ability to directly debit a customer’s account for payment when authorized by the customer to do so) to pay off a loan. Certain provisions of the CONC took effect on April 1, 2014, and other provisions for high-cost short-term credit providers, such as the limits on rollovers, continuous payment authority and advertising, took effect on July 1, 2014. As a result of the FCA’s requirements, we made significant adjustments to many of our business practices in the United Kingdom.

In addition, on December 18, 2013, the United Kingdom passed the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act, which includes an amendment to the FSMA that requires the FCA to introduce rules “with a view to securing an appropriate degree of protection for borrowers against excessive charges” on “high-cost short-term” consumer loans. On July 15, 2014, the FCA issued a consultation paper that proposed a cap on the total cost of high-cost short-term credit and requested comments on the proposal. The consultation

56


 

paper proposed a maximum rate of 0.8% of principal per day, and the proposal limits the total fees, interest (including post-default interest) and charges (including late fees which are capped at £15) to an aggregate amount not to exceed 100% of the principal amount loaned. The FCA requested comments on the proposal and issued its final rule on November 11, 2014, which became effective on January 2, 2015. The final rule was largely the same as the proposed rule and required us to make changes to all of our high-cost short-term products in the United Kingdom. As a result of the final rule, we discontinued offering line of credit accounts to new customers in the United Kingdom in late 2014 and effective January 1, 2015, we discontinued draws on existing accounts in the United Kingdom. Once U.K. customers have paid off their outstanding line of credit balance, they may be eligible for either a short-term or installment loan.

On February 24, 2015, the FCA issued a consultation paper that, among other things, proposes to require that providers of high-cost short-term credit include a risk warning in all financial promotions and to amend the FCA rules to allow firms to introduce continuous payment authority to collect repayments where a customer is in arrears or default and the lender is exercising forbearance. The FCA published its response to this consultation on September 28, 2015, and confirmed the ability of firms to use continuous payment authority to collect repayments where a customer is in arrears or default and the lender is exercising forbearance. The FCA also imposed a number of regulatory changes on credit brokers and lenders operating in the high-cost-short-term credit market in the United Kingdom. The FCA now requires that providers of high-cost short-term credit include a risk warning in all financial promotions, including previously exempted size-limited ads like SMS text messages and pay-per-click ads. The majority of these changes came into force on November 2, 2015.

During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our U.K. operations represented 19.9% and 40.1%, respectively, of our consolidated total revenue. The results for the year ended December 31, 2014 do not include the full impact of the changes described above, and the results for the year ended December 31, 2013 do not include any impact of the changes described above. The results for each of these periods are not indicative of our future results of operations and cash flows from our operations in the United Kingdom.

The FCA has a statutory duty to reevaluate the rate cap rules in 2017. We cannot give any assurances that the result of that review and any new rules will not have a material impact on our U.K. products and services.

The failure to comply with debt collection regulations could subject us to fines and other liabilities, which could harm our reputation and business.

The FDCPA regulates persons who regularly collect or attempt to collect, directly or indirectly, consumer debts owed or asserted to be owed to another person. Many states impose additional requirements on persons collecting or attempting to collect consumer debts owed to them and on debt collection communications, and some of those requirements may be more stringent than the federal requirements. Moreover, regulations governing debt collection are subject to changing interpretations that differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

On July 28, 2016, the CFPB, pursuant to the authority provided in the Dodd-Frank Act, issued an outline of proposals intended to increase consumer protection pertaining to third-party debt collectors and others covered by the FDCPA (“Debt Collection Outline”). In the Debt Collection Outline, the CFPB is considering substantive rules under the FDCPA that would, among other proposals: (i) require collectors to substantiate the debt and confirm that they have sufficient consumer information before starting collection; (ii) limit communication attempts to six per week through any point of contact; (iii) make it easier for consumers to stop specific ways collectors are contacting them; (iv) prohibit collectors from communicating with certain parties for 30 days after a consumer’s death; (v) make it easier for consumers to dispute debts by, among other proposals, requiring collectors to include more specific information about the debt in the initial collection notices sent to consumers as well as a “tear-off” portion of the notice that consumers could send back to the collector: (vi) require collectors to verify a debt through a written report if the debt is disputed in writing by a consumer; (vii) prohibit collectors from continuing collection efforts or suing for debt until the necessary documentation is checked if a consumer disputes the debt; and (viii) require a subsequent holder of a debt to resolve any outstanding dispute about the debt before attempting to collect.

The proposals in the Debt Collection Outline would apply to our attempts to collect debt originated by other lenders, including under our CSO programs and our bank program. The proposals in the Debt Collection Outline would not apply to our attempts to collect debt that we originate; however, the CFPB has announced that it plans to address consumer protection issues involving first-party debt collectors and creditors separately. The CFPB published its Debt Collection Outline in preparation for convening a Small Business Review Panel to determine whether its proposal could have a significant economic impact on small businesses. The Debt Collection Outline does not include proposed or final rules, and any future rules could be significantly different from those in the Debt Collection Outline. The CFPB has not yet defined a date for any proposed rules related to debt collection nor has it defined the effective date for the implementation of final rules. We cannot give any assurances that the effect of such rules will not have a material impact on our U.S. products and services.

Non-U.S. jurisdictions also regulate debt collection. For example, in the United Kingdom, due to new rules under the CONC we have made adjustments to some of our business practices, including our collections processes, which could possibly result in lower collections on loans made by us and has resulted in a decrease in the number of new customers that we are able to approve. In addition, the concerns expressed to us by the OFT and the FCA relate in part to debt collection. We could be subject to fines, written orders or other penalties if we, or parties working on our behalf, are determined to have violated the FDCPA, the CONC or analogous state or international laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The use of personal data used in credit underwriting is highly regulated.

In the United States the FCRA regulates the collection, dissemination and use of consumer information, including consumer credit information. Compliance with the FCRA and related laws and regulations concerning consumer reports has recently been under regulatory scrutiny. The FCRA requires us to provide a Notice of Adverse Action to a consumer loan applicant when we deny an application for credit, which, among other things, informs the applicant of the action taken regarding the credit application and the specific reasons for the denial of credit. The FCRA also requires us to promptly update any credit information reported to a consumer reporting agency about a consumer and to allow a process by which consumers may inquire about credit information furnished by us to a consumer reporting agency. Historically, the FTC has played a key role in the implementation, oversight, enforcement and interpretation of the FCRA. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB has primary supervisory, regulatory and enforcement authority of FCRA issues, although the FTC also retains its enforcement role regarding the FCRA but shares that role in many respects with the CFPB. The CFPB has taken a more active approach than the FTC, including with respect to regulation, enforcement and supervision of the FCRA. Changes in the regulation, enforcement or supervision of the FCRA may materially affect our business if new regulations or interpretations by the CFPB or the FTC require us to materially alter the manner in which we use personal data in our credit underwriting.

In the United Kingdom, we are also subject to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1988 (the “DPA”) and are required to be fully registered as a data-controller under the DPA. On October 6, 2015, the European Court of Justice invalidated the so-called “Safe Harbor” framework, which previously evidenced compliance with the DPA and the European Union Data Protection Directive and allowed companies to pass European Union data to non-European Union countries if certain certification requirements were met by the company. Although many companies, including us, had Safe Harbor certification, the European Union and the United Kingdom provide other guidance regarding compliance with their data protection laws and regulations for companies who pass data outside the European Union. In addition, there are circumstances under which a company is exempt from complying with those laws and regulations. Despite the invalidation of the Safe Harbor framework, we believe we are exempt from and/or in compliance with all E.U. and U.K. privacy laws and regulations.

On February 2, 2016, the European Commission and the United States agreed on a new framework for transatlantic data flows: the “EU-US Privacy Shield”, which will replace the invalided Safe harbor framework. The EU-US Privacy Shield is a framework designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Commerce Department”) and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce. On July 12, 2016, the European Commission adopted the EU-US Privacy Shield, which consists of four components: (i) the privacy shield principles, which is a code of conduct outlining protections for the handling of personal data; (ii) oversight and enforcement; (iii) ombudsperson mechanism; and (iv) safeguards and limitations. The Commerce Department began accepting certifications to the EU-US Privacy Shield on August 1, 2016. We expect to apply for certification to the EU-US Privacy Shield, and in the interim, despite the invalidation of the Safe Harbor framework, we believe we are exempt from and/or are in compliance with all E.U. and U.K. privacy laws and regulations.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union. The details and timeline of the exit have not yet been finalized. When the United Kingdom exits the European Union, it is expected that the United Kingdom will establish a new framework for data flow between the United Kingdom and the United States or will agree to continue the protections of the EU-US Privacy Shield for the transfer of personal data into and out of the United Kingdom. We expect to comply with any framework established by the United Kingdom for the transfer of personal data into and out of the United Kingdom.

The oversight of the FCRA by both the CFPB and the FTC and any related investigation or enforcement activities or our failure to comply with the DPA may have a material adverse impact on our business, including our operations, our mode and manner of conducting business and our financial results.

We are winding down our business in the Australian and Canadian markets. The exit of such businesses may take longer and the related costs may be higher than we currently anticipate.

58


 

We have ceased lending in Australia and Canada. We expect to incur certain exit costs as we are winding down our loan portfolio, exiting our business in Australia and Canada and reallocating resources to our other existing businesses. There is no guarantee that the related exit costs may not be higher than we anticipate.

Judicial decisions, CFPB rule-making or amendments to the Federal Arbitration Act could render the arbitration agreements we use illegal or unenforceable.

We include arbitration provisions in our consumer and business loan and financing agreements. These provisions are designed to allow us to resolve any customer disputes through individual arbitration rather than in court and explicitly provide that all arbitrations will be conducted on an individual and not on a class basis. Thus, our arbitration agreements, if enforced, have the effect of shielding us from class action liability. Our arbitration agreements do not generally have any impact on regulatory enforcement proceedings. We take the position that the arbitration provisions in loan and financing agreements, including class action waivers, are valid and enforceable; however, the enforceability of arbitration provisions is often challenged in court. If those challenges are successful, our arbitration and class action waiver provisions could be unenforceable, which could subject us to additional litigation, including additional class action litigation.

In addition, the U.S. Congress has considered legislation that would generally limit or prohibit mandatory arbitration agreements in consumer contracts and has enacted legislation with such a prohibition with respect to certain mortgage loan agreements and also certain consumer loan agreements to members of the military on active duty and their dependents. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act directed the CFPB to study consumer arbitration and report to the U.S. Congress, and it authorized the CFPB to adopt rules limiting or prohibiting consumer arbitration, consistent with the results of its study. In March 2015, the CFPB released its final report on consumer arbitration that indicated that it could propose rules that prohibit or limit the use of arbitration provisions in consumer loan agreements.

On October 7, 2015, the CFPB published its outline of proposals to implement regulations regarding the use of arbitration clauses in contracts for consumer financial services (“Arbitration Outline”). The Arbitration Outline sought to determine the impact of prohibiting class-action waivers and publication of information regarding individual arbitration proceedings. On May 5, 2016, the CFPB issued proposed rules prohibiting the use of mandatory arbitration clauses and class action waiver provisions in consumer financial services contracts. Final rules are expected from the CFPB later in 2016 or in 2017, after the CFPB has reviewed comments to the proposed rules. The date for required implementation of the final rules by financial services providers (the “compliance date”) is not expected by the industry until 2017. Any final rules would apply to consumer financial services contracts entered into only after the compliance date (and will not apply to prior contracts that contain arbitration agreements). We cannot give any assurances that the effect of such rules will not have a material impact on our U.S. products.

Any judicial decisions, legislation or other rules or regulations that impair our ability to enter into and enforce consumer arbitration agreements and class action waivers could significantly increase our exposure to class action litigation as well as litigation in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, which would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Future sales or distributions of our common stock, including the sale by FirstCash of the shares of our common stock, could depress the market price for shares of our common stock.

The shares of our common stock that Cash America distributed to its shareholders generally may be sold immediately in the public market. It is possible that some shareholders of Cash America, including possibly some of Cash America’s major shareholders and index fund investors, have sold and will sell our common stock received in the distribution for various reasons (for example, if our business profile or market capitalization as an independent company does not fit their investment objectives). The sales of significant amounts of our common stock or the perception in the market that this will occur may have resulted and may continue to result in the lowering of the market price of our common stock.

In addition, Cash America retained a 20 percent ownership interest in our common stock, which is now held by FirstCash. Pursuant to a Stockholder’s and Registration Rights Agreement with Cash America, FirstCash is required to vote such shares in proportion to the votes cast by our other stockholders and has granted a related proxy to us to vote its shares in accordance with such requirement. In order to not jeopardize the tax-free status of the distribution, at the time of the separation and distribution, Cash America was required to dispose of such retained shares (other than the shares retained for delivery under Cash America’s long-term incentive plans) of our common stock that it owns as soon as practicable and consistent with its reasons for retaining such shares, but in no event no later than two years after the distribution. Cash America applied to the Internal Revenue Service for an extension on the two-year deadline to dispose of our common stock and received an extension to dispose of the shares until September 2017. Pursuant to the Stockholder’s and Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed that, upon the request of Cash America, we would use our best efforts to effect the registration under applicable securities laws of the shares of common stock retained by Cash America and not otherwise registered and sold pursuant to a registration statement. We were required to pay certain expenses related to the registration of such stock. We have

59


 

filed a registration statement relating to those shares, which has been declared effective by the SEC. Any disposition by FirstCash, or any significant shareholder, of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such dispositions could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

If internet search engine providers change their methodologies for organic rankings or paid search results, or our organic rankings or paid search results decline for other reasons, our new customer growth or volume from returning customers could decline.

Our new customer acquisition marketing and our returning customer relationship management is partly dependent on search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo! to direct a significant amount of traffic to our desktop and mobile websites via organic ranking and paid search advertising. Our competitors’ paid search activities, pay per click or search engine marketing may result in their sites receiving higher paid search results than ours and significantly increasing the cost of such advertising for us.

Our paid search activities may not produce (and in the past have not always produced) the desired results. Internet search engines often revise their methodologies, which could adversely affect our organic rankings or paid search results, resulting in a decline in our new customer growth or existing customer retention, difficulty for our customers in using our web and mobile sites, more successful organic rankings, paid search results or tactical execution efforts for our competitors than for us, a slowdown in overall growth in our customer base and the loss of existing customers, and higher costs for acquiring returning customers, which could adversely impact our business. In addition, search engines could implement policies that restrict the ability of consumer finance companies such as us to advertise their services and products, which could preclude companies in our industry from appearing in a favorable location or any location in the organic rankings or paid search results when certain search terms are used by the consumer. For example, on July 20, 2016, Google implemented a new policy that prohibits lenders, lead providers and affiliates from advertising certain financial products on Google AdWords. Advertisements for personal loans which require repayment within 60 days, or U.S. loans with an APR of 36 percent or more, are no longer allowed on Google paid search advertising. In addition, Google requires that advertisements for personal loans contain or link to information about the features, fees, risks and benefits of the advertised loan product.  

Our online marketing efforts are also susceptible to actions by third parties that negatively impact our search results such as spam link attacks, which are often referred to as “black hat” tactics. Our sites have experienced meaningful fluctuations in organic rankings and paid search results in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any reduction in the number of consumers or small businesses directed to our web and mobile sites could harm our business and operating results.
