Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2013

1.  Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”). At September 30, 2013, FCFI Acquisition LLC (“FCFI”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), indirectly owned an 80% economic interest in SFI and American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) indirectly owned a 20% economic interest in SFI.

Following a series of restructuring transactions completed on October 9, 2013, in connection with the initial public offering of common stock of Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“SHI”), all of the common stock of SFI is owned by SHI. On October 21, 2013, SHI completed the initial public offering of its common stock. As of November 12, 2013, Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”) owns approximately 75% of SHI’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress and AIG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of AIG.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.

We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results, and the out-of-period adjustments recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 discussed below. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. To conform to the 2013 presentation, we reclassified certain items in the prior period. We have combined the branch real estate and centralized real estate data previously reported separately in the third quarter of 2012 due to a change in method of monitoring and assessing the credit risk of our liquidating real estate loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we made certain corrections to prior period amounts reported in our previously issued quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements and related notes related to:  (1) our benefit from income taxes; (2) the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables; (3) the fair value of our net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses; and (4) the fair value disclosures of certain of our financial instruments.

The out-of-period adjustment related to our benefit from income taxes increased the provision for income taxes by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. See Note 12 for further information on this out-of-period adjustment.

The disclosure of the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2012, was previously incorrectly understated by $4.7 million. The parenthetical

9

disclosure of the allowance of consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as of December 31, 2012 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related VIE disclosures in Notes 3 and 9 have been corrected in this report to include the allowance for finance receivable losses on our securitized purchased credit impaired finance receivables.

The fair value disclosures of certain of our financial instruments at December 31, 2012 previously included the following misstatements: (1) the fair value of our net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses was understated by $177.0 million at December 31, 2012; (2) restricted cash (level 1) and escrow advance receivable (level 3) at December 31, 2012 were incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosures of our financial instruments; (3) cash and cash equivalents in mutual funds measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 incorrectly excluded mutual funds of $565.3 million; (4) restricted cash in mutual funds (level 1) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 were incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosures of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis; and (5) commercial mortgage loans (level 3) measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and related impairments recorded during 2012 were incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosures of our financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis. The affected fair value amounts disclosed in Note 18 have been corrected in this report.

In the second quarter of 2013, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment, which increased provision for finance receivable losses by $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The adjustment related to the correction of the identification of certain bankrupt real estate loan accounts for consideration as troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) finance receivables.

In the third quarter of 2013, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment, which decreased provision for finance receivable losses by $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The adjustment related to the correction of certain inputs in our model supporting the TDR allowance for finance receivable losses. There was no impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as the error was isolated to intra-period reporting in 2013.

After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections (individually and in aggregate), management has determined that our previously issued consolidated interim and annual financial statements were not materially misstated and that the out-of-period adjustments are immaterial to our estimated full year results.

Due to the significance of the ownership interest acquired by FCFI (the “Fortress Acquisition”), the nature of the transaction, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SFC as an acquired business. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the Fortress Acquisition, November 30, 2010, in accordance with business combination accounting standards (“push-down accounting”).

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”), ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-1, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210), which amended the effective date for ASU 2011-11 to be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments were applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

10

Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The amendments require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED

Income Taxes

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Beginning in the period ended March 31, 2013, our servicing practice was updated for the charge-off policy for personal loans in an effort to more closely align the timing of charge-offs when the Company believes a particular loan is uncollectible. We charge off to the allowance for finance receivable losses, personal loans which are greater than 180 days contractually delinquent.

This change in policy was considered a change in estimate in accordance with ASC 250 and incorporated prospectively into our calculation of allowance for finance receivable losses beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We recorded $13.3 million in additional charge-offs in March 2013 as a result of this change.

2.  Finance Receivables

Our finance receivable types include personal loans, real estate loans, and retail sales finance as defined below:

·Personal loans – are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, generally have maximum original terms of four years, and are usually fixed-rate, fixed-term loans.

·Real estate loans – are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, generally have maximum original terms of 360 months, and are usually considered non-conforming. Real estate loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are primarily fixed-rate products. As of January 1, 2012, we ceased originating real estate loans.

11

·Retail sales finance – includes retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. Retail sales contracts are closed-end accounts that represent a single purchase transaction. Revolving retail accounts are open-end accounts that can be used for financing repeated purchases from the same merchant. Retail sales contracts are secured by the personal property designated in the contract and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months. Revolving retail accounts are secured by the goods purchased and generally require minimum monthly payments based on the amount financed calculated after the most recent purchase or outstanding balances. In January 2013, we ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts.

*Gross receivables are defined below:

·finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable – gross finance receivables equal the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts plus the remaining unearned discount, net of premium established at the time of purchase to reflect the finance receivable balance at its fair value;

·finance receivables originated subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition – gross finance receivables equals the UPB for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; and

·purchased credit impaired finance receivables – gross finance receivables equals the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts.

Included in the table above are personal loans totaling $1.7 billion at September 30, 2013 and real estate loans totaling $5.3 billion at September 30, 2013 and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2012 associated with securitizations that remain on our balance sheet. The carrying amount of consolidated long-term debt associated with these securitizations totaled $5.3 billion at September 30, 2013 and $3.0 billion at December 31, 2012. See Note 9 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions. Also included in the table above are finance receivables totaling $1.9 billion at September 30, 2013 and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2012, which have been pledged as collateral for our secured term loan.

Total	$	65,201		$	164,508

*Reflects the cessation of purchases of revolving retail accounts effective January 16, 2013.

Unused lines of credit on our real estate loans can be suspended if one of the following occurs: the value of the real estate declines significantly below the property’s initial appraised value; we believe the borrower will be unable to fulfill the repayment obligations because of a material change in the borrower’s financial circumstances; or any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement. Unused lines of credit on home equity lines of credit can be terminated for delinquency.

CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS

We consider the delinquency status and nonperforming status of the finance receivable as our credit quality indicators.

We accrue finance charges on revolving retail finance receivables up to the date of charge-off at 180 days past due. We had $0.5 million of revolving retail finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2012. Our personal and real estate loans do not have finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges.

Delinquent Finance Receivables

We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivable as our primary credit quality indicator. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. We consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time.

Nonperforming Finance Receivables

We also monitor finance receivable performance trends to evaluate the potential risk of future credit losses. At 90 days or more past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming. Once the finance receivables are considered nonperforming, we consider them to be at increased risk for credit loss.

Our performing and nonperforming net finance receivables by type were as follows:

	Personal		Real		Retail
(dollars in thousands)	Loans		Estate Loans		Sales Finance		Total
September 30, 2013
Performing	$	2,971,981	$	7,598,796	$	115,204	$	10,685,981

PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED FINANCE RECEIVABLES

As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting and adjusted the carrying value of our finance receivables to their fair value on November 30, 2010. No finance receivables have been added to these pools subsequent to November 30, 2010.

14

We include the carrying amount (which initially was the fair value) of our purchased credit impaired finance receivables in net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses. Prepayments reduce the outstanding balance, contractual cash flows, and cash flows expected to be collected.

Information regarding these purchased credit impaired finance receivables was as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2013		2012
Carrying amount, net of allowance	$	1,282,683	$	1,373,792
Outstanding balance	$	1,825,077	$	1,957,260
Allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses	$	46,003	$	16,973

The allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflected the net carrying value of these purchased credit impaired finance receivables being higher than the present value of the expected cash flows.

Changes in accretable yield for purchased credit impaired finance receivables were as follows:

	At or for the			At or for the			At or for the			At or for the
	Three Months			Three Months			Nine Months			Nine Months

Balance at end of period	$	806,380		$	661,584		$	806,380		$	661,584

(a)Reclassifications from nonaccretable difference for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 represent the increases in accretion resulting from higher estimated undiscounted cash flows. Reclassifications from nonaccretable difference for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 represent the increase in accretion related to an increase in the pool yield.

(b)Disposals of finance receivables represent finance charges forfeited due to purchased credit impaired finance receivables charged-off during the period.

(b)Effective March 31, 2013, we charge off to the allowance for finance receivable losses for personal loans that are 180 days past due. Previously, we charged-off to the allowance for finance receivable losses for personal loans on which payments received in the prior six months totaled less than 5% of the original loan amount. As a result of this change, we recorded $13.3 million of additional charge-offs in March 2013.

(c)Recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $41.2 million ($25.4 million of personal loan recoveries, $9.9 million of real estate loan recoveries, and $5.9 million of retail sales finance recoveries) resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013.

(d)During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we decreased the allowance for finance receivable losses as a result of the transfers of $77.8 million of finance receivables from finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.

Included in the allowance for finance receivable losses are allowances associated with securitizations that totaled $87.8 million at September 30, 2013 and $14.7 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2012 was previously incorrectly understated by $4.7 million and has been revised to include the allowance for finance receivable losses on our securitized purchased credit impaired finance receivables. See Note 9 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions.

4.  Finance Receivables Held for Sale

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not have any transfer activity between finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale.

During the first and third quarters of 2012, we transferred $77.8 million and $103.1 million, respectively, of finance receivables from held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. We marked these loans to the lower of cost or fair value at the time of transfer and subsequently recorded additional gains in other revenues – other at the time of sale resulting in net gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $6.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold finance receivables held for sale totaling $123.0 million and $171.0 million, respectively.

We repurchased two loans for $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to five loans for $1.0 million repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2012. We repurchased 19 loans for $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to six loans for $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In each period, we repurchased the loans because such loans were reaching the defined delinquency limits or had breached the contractual representations and warranties under the loan sale agreements. At September 30, 2013, there were no material unresolved recourse requests.

SECURED TERM LOAN

Springleaf Financial Funding Company (“SFFC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, is party to a six-year secured term loan pursuant to a credit agreement among SFFC, SFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of SFC (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and a syndicate of lenders, various agents, and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent.

On September 30, 2013, SFC, SFFC and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an incremental facility joinder agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, and established new term loan commitments totaling $750.0 million under the secured term loan (the “New Loan Tranche”). SFFC remained the borrower of the loans made under the New Loan Tranche, and the proceeds of such loans were used to make a voluntary prepayment of the existing secured term loan. The New Loan Tranche is guaranteed by SFC and by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the New Loan Tranche is secured by the same collateral as, and on a pro rata basis with, the initial loans under the secured term loan.

At September 30, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the secured term loan totaled $1.3 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2012. Affiliates of Fortress owned or managed lending positions in the syndicate of lenders totaling approximately $12.5 million at September 30, 2013 and $85.0 million at December 31, 2012.

SUBSERVICING AND REFINANCE AGREEMENTS

In August 2012, one of the swap positions was terminated and the cash collateral was reduced by $20.0 million. Cash collateral with AIGFP totaled $40.0 million at December 31, 2012.

On August 5, 2013, we terminated our remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement with AIGFP and recorded a loss of $1.9 million in other revenues – other. The notional amount of this swap agreement totaled $416.6 million at August 5, 2013. Immediately following this termination, we had no derivative financial instruments. As a result of this termination, AIGFP returned the cash collateral of $40.0 million to SFI.

Note Receivable from Parent

SFC’s note receivable from parent is payable in full on May 31, 2022, and SFC may demand payment at any time prior to May 31, 2022; however, SFC does not anticipate the need for additional liquidity during 2013 and does not expect to demand payment from SFI in 2013. The note receivable from parent totaled $538.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Interest receivable on this note totaled $1.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2012. The interest rate for the principal balance is the prime rate. Interest revenue on notes receivable from parent totaled $4.4 million and $14.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Interest revenue on notes receivable from parent totaled $4.4 million and $13.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Receivables from Parent and Affiliates

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, receivables from our parent and affiliates totaled $17.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively, primarily due to a receivable from Second Street Funding Corporation, a subsidiary of SFI, for income taxes payable under current and prior tax sharing agreements, which were paid by SFC. The receivables from our parent and affiliates also include interest receivable on SFC’s note receivable from SFI discussed above.

Promissory Note

Pursuant to a promissory note dated April 1, 2013, between SFC and SpringCastle Holdings, LLC (“SCH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Springleaf Acquisition Corporation (“SAC”), SFC advanced $150.0 million to SCH. SAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of SFI. The note was payable in full on December 3, 2024, and was prepayable in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The annual interest rate for the principal balance was 7.00%. SCH used the advance to fund, in part, its 47% equity interest in a newly formed joint venture with NRZ Consumer LLC, previously an indirect subsidiary of Newcastle Investment Corp. (30% equity interest) and BTO Willow Holdings, L.P. (23% equity interest), which completed a loan portfolio acquisition on April 1, 2013 for a purchase price of $3.0 billion, at which time the portfolio consisted of over 415,000 finance receivable accounts with a $3.9 billion UPB. On May 15, 2013, Newcastle Investment Corp. completed the spinoff of New Residential Investment Corp. and its subsidiaries, including NRZ Consumer LLC. Newcastle Investment Corp. and New Residential Investment Corp. are managed by an affiliate of Fortress. The note was paid in full on

Intercompany Demand Note

Pursuant to an intercompany demand note dated July 26, 2013 between SFC and SFI, SFI may borrow up to $50.0 million from SFC. The note is payable in full on December 14, 2014, and is prepayable in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The annual interest rate for the principal balance is 7.00%. SFI expects to use advances under the note, if any, for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2013, SFI had not drawn any funds under this note.

CASH COLLATERAL

In August 2012, Springleaf Financial Services of South Carolina, Inc. (“SFSSC”), a subsidiary of SFC, and SFI entered into a Reimbursement Agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) and a related fee agreement (the “Fee Agreement”) whereby SFI agreed to post $25.0 million of cash collateral on behalf of SFSSC in connection with a judgment entered against SFSSC, subject to SFSSC’s agreement to repay the collateral in full in the event it was applied to the judgment. SFSSC agreed to settle the litigation in late August 2012.

In December 2012, SFSSC and SFI amended the Reimbursement Agreement and the Fee Agreement to provide that the collateral could be applied toward the settlement and that SFI would pay up to an additional $11.0 million toward the settlement on behalf of SFSSC, subject to SFSSC’s agreement to repay such amounts in full and to pay a fee equal to an annual rate of 8.00% of the average monthly amount paid by SFI toward the settlement until fully repaid. Subsequently, SFI paid an additional $5.8 million in December 2012, on SFSSC’s behalf, to satisfy the remaining portion of the settlement. At December 31, 2012, the payable to SFI totaled $30.8 million, and interest payable to SFI totaled $0.1 million.

In February 2013, SFI paid an additional $3.1 million, on SFSSC’s behalf, towards the payment of unclaimed funds to South Carolina charities. SFSSC fully repaid SFI for the cash collateral in late March 2013 and paid SFI $0.6 million of fees under the amended Fee Agreement during the first quarter of 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, SFSSC paid SFI $0.2 million of collateral fees.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

On each of January 10, 2012, July 11, 2012, January 11, 2013, and July 10, 2013, SFC received capital contributions from SFI of $10.5 million to satisfy SFC’s hybrid debt semi-annual interest payments due in January 2012, July 2012, January 2013, and July 2013, respectively.

DERIVATIVES

As discussed in Note 6, SFI posted $60.0 million of cash collateral with AIGFP as security for SFC’s two remaining Euro swap positions with AIGFP in July 2012, and in August 2012, one of the swap positions was terminated and the cash collateral was reduced by $20.0 million. On August 5, 2013, we terminated our remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement and AIGFP returned the cash collateral of $40.0 million to SFI. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, SFC paid SFI $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of collateral fees.

(a)Medium-term notes at September 30, 2013 included aggregate principal amounts of $300 million of Senior Notes issued in May 2013 and $950 million of Senior Notes issued in September 2013 of which $700 million were exchanged for medium-term notes due 2017.

(b)Euro denominated note includes a €323.4 million note, shown here at the U.S. dollar equivalent at time of issuance.

(c)Our secured term loan is issued by wholly owned Company subsidiaries and guaranteed by SFC and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(d)The interest rates shown are the range of contractual rates in effect at September 30, 2013.

(e)Securitizations are not included in above maturities by period due to their variable monthly repayments.

SFFC, our wholly owned subsidiary, is the borrower of the secured term loan that is guaranteed by SFC and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, our other operating subsidiaries that from time to time meet certain criteria will be required to become Subsidiary Guarantors. The secured term loan is secured by a first priority pledge of the stock of SFFC that was limited at the transaction date, in accordance with existing SFC debt agreements, to $167.9 million.

SFFC used a portion of the proceeds from the secured term loan to make new intercompany loans to the Subsidiary Guarantors. The intercompany loans are secured by a first priority security interest in eligible finance receivables, according to pre-determined eligibility requirements and in accordance with a borrowing base formula. The Subsidiary Guarantors used proceeds of the loans to pay down their intercompany loans from SFC. SFC used the payments from Subsidiary Guarantors to, among other things, repay debt and fund operations.

Immediately prior to the 2013-1 securitization transaction discussed in Note 9, the real estate loans to be securitized comprised a portion of the finance receivables pledged as collateral to support the outstanding principal amount under our secured term loan. Upon completion of the securitization transaction, these real estate loans were released from the collateral pledged to support our secured term loan and the Subsidiary Guarantors elected not to pledge new finance receivables as collateral to replace the real estate loans sold in the securitization transaction. The voluntary reduction of the collateral pledged required

28

SFFC to make a mandatory prepayment of a portion of the outstanding principal (plus accrued interest). As a result, SFFC made a mandatory prepayment on April 11, 2013, without penalty or premium, of $714.9 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest).

On each of May 15, 2013 and May 30, 2013, SFFC made additional prepayments, without penalty or premium, of $500.0 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. On July 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, SFFC made prepayments, without penalty or premium, of $235.1 million and $1.25 billion, respectively, of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan.

In addition, on September 30, 2013, SFC, SFFC and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the New Loan Tranche, which consisted of new term loan commitments totaling $750.0 million under the secured term loan pursuant to the incremental facility joinder agreement to the secured term loan. SFFC remained the borrower of the loans made under the New Loan Tranche, and the proceeds of such loans were used to fund the $1.25 billion prepayment of existing secured term loans due 2017. The New Loan Tranche is guaranteed by SFC and by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the New Loan Tranche is secured by the same collateral as, and on a pro rata basis with, the initial loans under the secured term loan.

In connection with our liability management efforts, we or our affiliates from time to time have purchased, and may in the future purchase, portions of our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration as we or any such affiliates may determine. Our plans are dynamic and we may adjust our plans in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions.

9.  Variable Interest Entities

As part of our overall funding strategy and as part of our efforts to support our liquidity from sources other than our traditional capital market sources, we have transferred certain finance receivables to VIEs for securitization transactions. Since these transactions involve securitization trusts required to be consolidated, the securitized assets and related liabilities are included in our financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.

CONSOLIDATED VIES

We evaluated the securitization trusts and determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary; therefore, we consolidate such entities. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs because we have the ability to direct the activities of each VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE. Such ability stems from SFC’s and/or its affiliates’ contractual right to service the securitized finance receivables. In instances where servicing is performed by parties other than SFC, this ability arises from SFC’s prescription of detailed servicing standards and procedures that the servicer must observe (and which can be modified only with our consent), and from our mandatory involvement in certain loan workouts and disposals of defaulted loans or related collateral. Our retained subordinated notes and residual interest trust certificates expose us to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.

The asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization trusts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying securitized finance receivables. Cash inflows from these finance receivables are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with each transaction’s contractual priority of payments (“waterfall”) and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay each trust’s senior notes or certificates held principally by third-party investors. After these senior obligations are extinguished, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated notes until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest that we own in each trust. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including senior and subordinated securities issued by

29

the VIEs and residual interests. We retain credit risk in the securitizations because our retained interests include the most subordinated interest in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets. We expect that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets will likely be limited to our subordinated and residual retained interests. We have no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default.

The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with our securitization trusts were as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2013		2012

Consumer Loan Securitizations

2013-A Securitization. On February 19, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $567.9 million of notes backed by personal loans held by Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-A (the “2013-A Trust”), at a 2.83% weighted average yield. We sold the asset-backed notes for $567.5 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $6.6 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $36.4 million of the 2013-A Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes.

2013-B Securitization. On June 19, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $256.2 million of notes backed by personal loans held by Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-B (the “2013-B Trust”), at a 4.11% weighted average yield. We sold the asset-backed notes for $255.4 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $4.4 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $114.0 million of the 2013-B Trust’s senior asset-backed notes and $29.8 million of the 2013-B Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes.

2013-BAC Securitization. On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-BAC (the “2013-BAC Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, issued $500.0 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. We sold the personal loan-backed notes for gross proceeds of $500.0 million.

Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Securitization. On September 26, 2013, we established a private securitization transaction in which Midbrook Funding Trust 2013-VFN1 (the “Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No amounts were funded at closing, but may be funded from time to time over a one-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the one-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will amortize and will be due and payable in full in October 2017. At September 30, 2013, no amounts had been drawn under the notes.

Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Securitization. On September 27, 2013, we established a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-VFN1 (the “Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $350 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No

amounts were funded at closing, but may be funded from time to time over a two-year period, which may be extended for one year, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the two-or three-year funding period, as the case may be, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will amortize and will be due and payable in full in October 2019. At September 30, 2013, no amounts had been drawn under the notes.

Mortgage Loan Securitizations

2013-1 Securitization. On April 10, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $782.5 million of notes backed by real estate loans held by Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-1 (the “2013-1 Trust”), at a 2.85% weighted average yield. We sold the mortgage-backed notes for $782.4 million, after the price discount but before expenses. We initially retained $236.8 million of the 2013-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed notes.

2013-2 Securitization. On July 9, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $599.4 million of notes backed by real estate loans held by Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-2 (the “2013-2 Trust”), at a 2.88% weighted average yield. We sold the mortgage-backed notes for $590.9 million, after the price discount but before expenses. We initially retained $535.1 million of the 2013-2 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed notes.

Sales of Previously Retained Notes

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold the following previously retained mortgage-backed and asset- backed notes:

·$20.0 million mortgage-backed notes from our 2012-2 securitization and subsequently recorded $20.7 million of additional debt;

·$7.5 million mortgage-backed notes from our 2012-3 securitization and subsequently recorded $7.8 million of additional debt;

·$157.5 million mortgage-backed notes from our 2013-2 securitization and subsequently recorded $148.6 million of additional debt; and

·$114.0 million asset-backed notes from our 2013-B securitization and subsequently recorded $111.6 million of additional debt.

VIE Interest Expense

Other than our retained subordinate and residual interests in the consolidated securitization trusts, we are under no obligation, either contractually or implicitly, to provide financial support to these entities. Consolidated interest expense related to these VIEs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $61.6 million and $151.4 million, respectively. Consolidated interest expense related to these VIEs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $32.7 million and $73.8 million, respectively.

UNCONSOLIDATED VIE

We have established a VIE that holds the junior subordinated debt. We are not the primary beneficiary, and we do not have a variable interest in this VIE. Therefore, we do not consolidate such entity. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to loss associated with this VIE at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

10.  Derivative Financial Instruments

SFC has used derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt by mitigating its exposures to interest rate and currency risks in conjunction with specific long-term debt issuances and has used them in managing its return on finance receivables held for sale, but is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments. On August 5, 2013, SFC terminated its remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement with AIGFP, a subsidiary of AIG, and recorded a loss of $1.9 million in other revenues – other. Immediately following this termination, we had no derivative financial instruments.

While SFC’s cross currency interest rate swap agreement mitigated economic exposure of related debt, it did not qualify as a cash flow or fair value hedge under U.S. GAAP.

The fair value of our derivative instrument presented on a gross basis was as follows:

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
(dollars in thousands)	Notional Amount		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Notional Amount		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities
Non-Designated Hedging Instruments
Cross currency interest rate	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	416,636	$	26,699	$	-

The amount of gain (loss) for cash flow hedges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into other revenues – other (effective portion) and interest expense (effective portion), and recognized in other revenues – other (ineffective portion) were as follows:

(a)Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(b)Represents the total amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to other revenues – other and to interest expense for cash flow hedges as disclosed on our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

32

We elected to discontinue hedge accounting prospectively on one of our cash flow hedges as of May 2012 and terminated this cross currency interest rate swap agreement in August 2012. We continued to report the gain related to the discontinued and terminated cash flow hedge in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. In January 2013, we reclassified the remaining $0.2 million of deferred net gain on cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to earnings.

The amounts recognized in other revenues – other for non-designated hedging instruments were as follows:

	Three Months		Three Months		Nine Months		Nine Months
	Ended		Ended		Ended		Ended
	September 30,		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,

Non-Designated Hedging Instruments
Cross currency interest rate	$	986	$	(19,244)	$	(3,376)	$	(23,825)

Derivative adjustments included in other revenues – other consisted of the following:

	Three Months			Three Months			Nine Months			Nine Months
	Ended			Ended			Ended			Ended
	September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,

Total	$	7,680		$	(2,456	)	$	675		$	(23,669	)

SFC was exposed to credit risk if counterparties to its swap agreement did not perform. SFC regularly monitored counterparty credit ratings throughout the term of the agreement. SFC’s exposure to market risk was limited to changes in the value of its swap agreement offset by changes in the value of the hedged debt.

12.  Income Taxes

At September 30, 2013, we had a net deferred tax liability of $167.7 million, compared to $298.9 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in the net deferred tax liability was primarily due to an improvement in the fair value of our finance receivables, which are marked to market value for tax basis. The decrease also reflected the recording of a deferred tax asset related to the accrual of expenses associated with the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). See Note 16 for further discussion on the grant of RSUs of Springleaf Holdings, LLC, the predecessor entity of SHI, to certain of our executives on September 30, 2013. We had a partial valuation allowance on our state deferred tax assets, net of a deferred federal tax benefit of $21.3 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $19.7 million at December 31, 2012. We also had a valuation allowance against our United Kingdom operations of $20.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $19.6 million at December 31, 2012.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 36.3%. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to an increase of 2.2% for the benefit from state income taxes, net of provision for federal income taxes, an increase of 1.2% for the benefit of tax exempt income, and a decrease of 1.0% for an out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter of 2013. This adjustment, although temporary in nature, had an impact on the state tax expense since the adjustment impacted various states that have net operating losses and valuation allowances.

35

13.  Restructuring

As part of a strategic effort to streamline operations and reduce expenses, we initiated the following restructuring activities during the first half of 2012:

·ceased originating real estate loans in the United States and the United Kingdom;

·ceased branch-based personal lending and retail sales financing in 14 states where we did not have a significant presence;

·consolidated certain branch operations in 26 states; and

·closed 231 branch offices.

As a result of these initiatives, during the first half of 2012 we reduced our workforce at our branch offices, at our Evansville, Indiana headquarters, and in the United Kingdom by 820 employees and incurred a pretax charge of $23.5 million.

Restructuring expenses and related asset impairment and other expenses by segment were as follows:

*Primarily includes removal expenses for branch furniture and signs and fees for outplacement services. Also includes the impairment of the market value adjustment on leased branch offices from the Fortress Acquisition.

We do not anticipate any additional future restructuring expenses to be incurred that can be reasonably estimated at September 30, 2013.

14.  Contingencies

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation arising in connection with its activities. Some of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. While we will continue to identify certain legal actions where we believe a material loss to be reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that we have not yet been notified of or are not yet determined to be probable or reasonably possible and reasonably estimable.

We contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, we accrue the estimated loss by a charge to income. In many actions, however, it is inherently difficult to determine

37

whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where loss is reasonably possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss.

For certain legal actions, we cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for actions that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek substantial or indeterminate damages. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the actions in question, before a loss or additional loss or range of loss or additional loss can be reasonably estimated for any given action.

For certain other legal actions, we can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but do not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements as a whole.

PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE

Our United Kingdom subsidiary provides payments of compensation to its customers who have made claims concerning Payment Protection Insurance (“PPI”) policies sold in the normal course of business by insurance intermediaries. On April 20, 2011, the High Court in the United Kingdom handed down judgment supporting the Financial Services Authority (now known as the Financial Conduct Authority) (“FCA”) guidelines on the treatment of PPI complaints. In addition, the FCA issued a guidance consultation paper in March 2012 on the PPI customer contact letters. As a result, we have concluded that there are certain circumstances where customer contact and/or redress is appropriate; therefore, this activity is ongoing. The total reserves related to the estimated PPI claims were $46.9 million at September 30, 2013 and $62.7 million at December 31, 2012. In 2012, our professional indemnity insurance claim was disputed, and in the fourth quarter of 2012, we reversed the recorded recovery on this insurance claim based upon our assessment that the probability of the recovery of the claim no longer met the probability standard for recognition.

15.  Risks and Uncertainties Related to Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently have a significant amount of indebtedness in relation to our equity. SFC’s credit ratings are non-investment grade, which impacts our cost of, and at times access to, capital and can (depending on market conditions) affect our ability to manage liquidity and the cost to refinance our indebtedness.

There are numerous risks to our financial results, liquidity, and capital raising and debt refinancing plans, some of which may not be quantified in our current liquidity forecasts. These risks include, but are not limited, to the following:

·our inability to grow our personal loan portfolio with adequate profitability;

·the effect of federal, state and local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices;

·the liquidation and related losses within our real estate portfolio could be substantial and result in reduced cash receipts;

·potential liability relating to real estate and personal loans which we have sold or may sell in the future, or relating to securitized loans;

·our inability to monetize assets including, but not limited to, our access to debt and securitization markets and our note receivable from parent; and

·the potential for disruptions in bond and equity markets.

At September 30, 2013, we had $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we generated a net loss of $73.7 million and net cash inflow from operating and investing activities of $540.8 million. At September 30, 2013, our remaining principal and interest

38

payments for 2013 on our existing debt (excluding securitizations) totaled $560.0 million. Additionally, we have $262.8 million of debt maturities and interest payments (excluding securitizations) due in the first nine months of 2014. As of September 30, 2013, we had $1.4 billion UPB of unencumbered personal loans and $1.0 billion UPB of unencumbered real estate loans. In addition, SFC may demand payment of some or all of its note receivable from SFI ($538.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2013); however, SFC does not anticipate the need for additional liquidity during 2013 and does not expect to demand payment from SFI in 2013.

Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of our plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.

It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than we expect or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect and such actual results could materially adversely affect us.

16.  Benefit Plans

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS

Effective December 31, 2012, the Springleaf Financial Services Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) and the CommoLoCo Retirement Plan (a defined benefit pension plan for our employees in Puerto Rico) were frozen. Our current and former employees will not lose any vested benefits in the Retirement Plan or the CommoLoCo Retirement Plan that accrued prior to January 1, 2013.

The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost with respect to our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans:

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

We recorded share-based compensation expense of $131.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 due to the grant of RSUs of Springleaf Holdings, LLC, the predecessor entity of SHI, to certain of our executives on September 30, 2013. These RSUs were converted into the right to receive 8.203125% of the outstanding shares of SHI common stock following the conversion of Springleaf Holdings, LLC into SHI on October

39

9, 2013. The shares of SHI common stock underlying these RSUs were delivered to the holders in October, 2013 after the conversion. The shares are fully vested, however generally cannot be sold or otherwise transferred for five years following the date of delivery, except to the extent necessary to satisfy certain tax obligations.

The Company has recognized this grant in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, based on the fair values.

17. Segment Information

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we redefined our segments to coincide with how our businesses are managed. Effective December 31, 2012, our three segments include: Consumer, Insurance, and Real Estate. These segments evolved primarily from management’s redefined business strategy, including its decision to cease real estate lending effective January 1, 2012 and to shift its focus to personal loan products which we believe have significant prospects for growth and business development due to the strong demand in our target market of nonprime borrowers.

Management considers Consumer and Insurance as our Core Consumer Operations and Real Estate as our Non-Core Portfolio.

Our segments are managed as follows:

Core Consumer Operations

·Consumer – We originate and service personal loans (secured and unsecured) in 26 states, which are our core operating states.

·Insurance – We offer credit insurance (life insurance, accident and health insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection. We also require credit-related property and casualty insurance, when needed, to protect our interest in the property pledged as collateral.

Non-Core Portfolio

·Real Estate – We service and hold real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate. Real estate loans previously originated through our branch offices are either serviced by our branch personnel or by our centralized servicing operation. Real estate loans previously acquired or originated through centralized distribution channels are serviced by one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, MorEquity, all of which are subserviced by Nationstar, except for certain securitized real estate loans, which are serviced and subserviced by third parties. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar. As a result of the cessation of real estate lending effective January 1, 2012, all of our real estate loans are in a liquidating status.

The remaining components (which we refer to as “Other”) consist of our other non-core, non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our Core Consumer Operations and our Non-Core Portfolio. These operations include our legacy operations in 14 states where we have also ceased branch-based personal lending as a result of our restructuring activities during the first half of 2012, our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicated auto finance operation), our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Other also includes $131.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives in the third quarter of 2013, which is not considered pertinent in determining segment performance.

40

Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition, which we refer to as “historical accounting basis,” to provide a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand the operating results of these segments. The historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP) also provides better comparability of the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry.

The “Push-down Accounting Adjustments” column in the following tables consists of:

·the accretion or amortization of the valuation adjustments on the applicable revalued assets and liabilities;

·the difference in finance charges on our purchased credit impaired finance receivables compared to the finance charges on these finance receivables on a historical accounting basis;

·the elimination of accretion or amortization of historical based discounts, premiums, and other deferred costs on our finance receivables and long-term debt; and

·the reversal of the decreases to the allowance for finance receivable losses (on a historical accounting basis).

The following tables present information about the Company’s segments as well as reconciliations to the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts. Due to the changes in the composition of our previously reported segments, we have restated the corresponding segment information for the prior period.

18. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received if an asset were to be sold or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is listed on an exchange or traded over-the-counter or is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and general market conditions.

Management is responsible for the determination of the value of the financial assets and financial liabilities and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. Third-party valuation service providers are employed to gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual instruments. When the valuation service providers are unable to obtain sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about

44

these securities to provide a quote, which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted internal valuation models.

Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted internal valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, currency rates, and other market-observable information as of the measurement date as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and other issue or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is applied in determining fair value is greatly increased. We assess the reasonableness of individual security values received from valuation service providers through various analytical techniques. We conduct price reviews for all assets. Assets that fall outside a price change tolerance are sent to our third-party valuation provider for further review. In addition, we may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from the valuation service providers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

We measure and classify assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three “Levels” based on the observability of inputs available in the market place used to measure the fair values. In general, we determine the fair value measurements classified as Level 1 based on inputs utilizing quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. We generally obtain market price data from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

We determine the fair value measurements classified as Level 2 based on inputs utilizing other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs we use to measure the fair value of an asset may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, we determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

45

The following table summarizes the fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments and indicates the fair value hierarchy based on the level of inputs we utilized to determine such fair values:

(b)Other long-term investments excludes our interest in a limited partnership of $0.6 million at September 30, 2012 that we account for using the equity method.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we transferred $19.3 million of assets into Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt and CDO/ABS. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we transferred $9.4 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS. Transfers into Level 3 and transfers out of Level 3 for the investment securities are primarily the result of obtaining additional information regarding inputs used to price our investment portfolio.

50

There were no unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings on instruments held at September 30, 2013 or 2012.

We used observable and/or unobservable inputs to determine the fair value of positions that we have classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the Level 3 tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our investment securities were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs for other long-term investments. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs for these investment securities are not applicable in the following table.

Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which information about the unobservable inputs is reasonably available to us at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

			Range (Weighted Average)
	Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Input	September 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
Corporate debt	Discounted cash flows	Yield	2.61% - 7.61% (4.41%)	2.74% - 7.35% (4.45%)
Other long-term investments	Discounted cash flows and indicative valuations	Historical costs Nature of investment Local market conditions Comparables Operating performance Recent financing activity	N/A*	N/A*

*    Not applicable.

The fair values of the assets using significant unobservable inputs are sensitive and can be impacted by significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs. Level 3 broker-priced instruments (RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS) are excluded from the table above because the unobservable inputs are not reasonably available to us.

Our RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS securities have unobservable inputs that are reliant on and sensitive to the quality of their underlying collateral. The inputs, although not identical, have similar characteristics and interrelationships. Generally a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment speeds. An improvement in the workout criteria related to the restructured debt and/or debt covenants of the underlying collateral may lead to an improvement in the cash flows and have an inverse impact on other inputs, specifically a reduction in the amount of discount applied for marketability and liquidity, making the structured bonds more attractive to market participants.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – NON-RECURRING BASIS

We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, we wrote down certain real estate owned reported in Real Estate to their fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues – other. The fair values disclosed in the tables above are unadjusted for transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The amounts recorded on the balance sheet are net of transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of commercial mortgage loans, we recorded allowance adjustments on certain impaired commercial mortgage loans to record their fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and recorded the net impairments in investment revenues.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of finance receivables held for sale, we wrote down certain finance receivables held for sale reported in Real Estate to their fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues – other.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of other intangible assets, we recognized $4.6 million of impairment in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the write off of our customer lists intangible assets as a result of the sale of Ocean finance receivables and brokerage business in August 2012.

52

The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our real estate owned, commercial mortgage loans, and finance receivables held for sale were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers or valuations provided by external parties, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs are not applicable in the following table.

Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

Investment Securities

We utilized third-party valuation service providers to measure the fair value of our investment securities (which consist primarily of bonds). Whenever available, we obtained quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure investment securities at fair value. We generally obtained market price data from exchange or dealer markets.

We estimated the fair value of fixed maturity investment securities not traded in active markets by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations and a matrix pricing methodology, or discounted cash flow analyses. This methodology considers such factors as the issuer’s industry, the security’s rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For fixed maturity investment securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, we adjusted the valuations to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

Finance Receivables

The fair value of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and purchased credit impaired, were determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The

53

application of these methodologies required us to make certain judgments and estimates based on our perception of market participant views related to the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of our finance receivables, and other similar factors. The most significant judgments and estimates made relate to prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, and discount rates. The degree of judgment and estimation applied was significant in light of the current capital markets and, more broadly, economic environments. Therefore, the fair value of our finance receivables could not be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

Finance Receivables Held for Sale

We determined the fair value of finance receivables held for sale that were originated as held for investment based on negotiations with prospective purchasers (if any) or by using projected cash flows discounted at the weighted-average interest rates offered by us in the market for similar finance receivables. We based cash flows on contractual payment terms adjusted for estimates of prepayments and credit related losses.

Note Receivable from Parent

The fair value of the note receivable from parent approximated the fair value because the note is payable on a demand basis prior to its due date on May 31, 2022 and the interest rate on this note adjusts with changing market interest rates.

Restricted Cash

The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

We utilized third-party valuation service providers to estimate the fair value of commercial mortgage loans using projected cash flows discounted at an appropriate rate based upon market conditions.

Real Estate Owned

We initially based our estimate of the fair value on independent third-party valuations at the time we took title to real estate owned. Subsequent changes in fair value are based upon independent third-party valuations obtained periodically to estimate a price that would be received in a then current transaction to sell the asset.

Other Intangible Assets

Each of our net intangible assets was determined to have a finite useful life with the exception of the insurance licenses. For those net intangible assets with a finite useful life, we review such intangibles for impairment quarterly and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated if the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the respective asset. Impairment is permanently recognized by writing down the asset to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. For the insurance licenses, we first complete a qualitative assessment of the licenses to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the licenses are more likely than not to have been impaired, we proceed with the fair value calculation of the licenses. The fair value of the licenses is determined in accordance with our fair value measurement policy. If the fair value of the licenses is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference and the indefinite life classification of these licenses will be evaluated to determine whether such classification remains appropriate.

54

Derivatives

Our derivatives are not traded on an exchange. The valuation model used by our third-party valuation service provider to calculate fair value of our derivative instruments includes a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, yield curves, credit curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and liquidity risk, as well as credit and market valuation adjustments. The credit valuation adjustment adjusts the valuation of derivatives to account for nonperformance risk of our counterparty with respect to all net derivative assets positions. The credit valuation adjustment also accounts for our own credit risk in the fair value measurement of all net derivative liabilities’ positions, when appropriate. The market valuation adjustment adjusts the valuation of derivatives to reflect the fact that we are an “end-user” of derivative products. As such, the valuation is adjusted to take into account the bid-offer spread (the liquidity risk), as we are not a dealer of derivative products.

Escrow Advance Receivable

The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

Receivable from Parent and Affiliates

The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt

Where market-observable prices are not available, we estimated the fair values of long-term debt using projected cash flows discounted at each balance sheet date’s market-observable implicit-credit spread rates for our long-term debt and adjusted for foreign currency translations.

Payable to Affiliate

The fair value of the payable to affiliate approximates the carrying value due to its short-term nature.

19.  Subsequent Events

SPRINGLEAF FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC INCENTIVE UNITS

On October 9, 2013, certain executives of the Company received a grant of incentive units in the Initial Stockholder. These incentive units are intended to encourage the executives to create sustainable, long-term value for the Company by providing them with interests that are subject to their continued employment with the Company and that only provide benefits (in the form of distributions) if the Initial Stockholder makes distributions to one or more of its common members that exceed specified amounts. The incentive units are entitled to vote together with the holders of common units in the Initial Stockholder as a single class on all matters. The incentive units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and the executives are entitled to receive these distributions only while they are employed with the Company, unless the executive’s termination of employment results from the executive’s death, in which case the executive’s beneficiaries will be entitled to receive any future distributions.

The Company will recognize these incentive units in accordance with ASC 710, Compensation— General, and will recognize compensation expense at the time distributions are made to the executives.

55

SECURITIZATION

On October 9, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $270.5 million of notes backed by real estate loans held by Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-3 (the “2013-3 Trust”), at a 3.40% weighted average yield. We sold the mortgage-backed notes for $269.4 million, after the price discount but before expenses. We initially retained $228.7 million of the 2013-3 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed notes. On October 17, 2013, we sold $22.5 million of the previously retained mortgage-backed notes and subsequently recorded $22.7 million of additional debt.

NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM PARENT

On October 10, 2013 and October 28, 2013, SFC received payments of $140.0 million and $230.0 million, respectively, from SFI towards SFC’s note receivable from parent. Following the payments, SFC’s note receivable from parent totaled $168.0 million. SFC’s note receivable from parent is payable in full on May 31, 2022, and SFC may demand payment at any time prior to May 31, 2022; however, SFC does not anticipate the need for additional liquidity during 2013 and does not expect to demand payment from SFI in 2013.

SECURED TERM LOAN PREPAYMENT

On October 11, 2013, SFFC made a prepayment, without penalty or premium, of $550.0 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. Following the prepayment, the initial loans under the secured term loan maturing in 2017 were fully repaid, and the outstanding principal amount of loans under the New Loan Tranche of the secured term loan maturing in 2019, put in place on September 30, 2013, totaled $750.0 million.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On October 21, 2013, SHI completed its initial public offering of common stock and, together with certain selling stockholders, sold 24,201,920 shares (including 3,156,772 shares sold in connection with the exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $17.00 per share, less an underwriting discount of $1.105 per share. SHI incurred an estimated $19.8 million of offering expenses.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to:

·changes in general economic conditions, including the interest rate environment in which we conduct business and the financial markets through which we can access capital and also invest cash flows from Insurance;

·levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies;

·shifts in residential real estate values;

·shifts in collateral values, delinquencies, or credit losses;

·natural or accidental events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, or floods affecting our customers, collateral, or branches or other operating facilities;

·war, acts of terrorism, riots, civil disruption, pandemics, or other events disrupting business or commerce;

Overview

We are a leading consumer finance company providing responsible loan products and related credit insurance products primarily to non-prime customers. We originate consumer loans through our network of 833 branch offices in 26 states. At September 30, 2013, we had over 819,900 personal loans, representing $3.0 billion in net finance receivables.

Our core product offerings include:

·Personal Loans – We offer personal loans through our nationwide branch network to customers who generally need timely access to cash. Our personal loans are typically non-revolving with a fixed-rate and a fixed, original term of two to four years. These personal loans are generally secured by collateral consisting of titled personal property (such as automobiles), consumer household goods or other items of personal property, but some are unsecured.

·Insurance Products – We offer our customers credit insurance (life insurance, accident and health insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection through our branch operations. Credit insurance and non-credit insurance products are provided by our subsidiaries, Merit and Yosemite Insurance Company (“Yosemite”). The ancillary products are home security and auto security membership plans and home appliance service contracts of unaffiliated companies.

Our legacy products include:

·Real Estate Loans – We ceased real estate lending in January 2012. These loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit, generally have a fixed rate and maximum original terms of 360 months, and are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate. We continue to service the liquidating real estate loans and support any advances on open-end accounts.

58

·Retail Sales Finance – We ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts in January 2013. We continue to service the liquidating retail sales contracts and will provide revolving retail sales financing services on our revolving retail accounts. We refer to retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts collectively as “retail sales finance.”

2012 STRATEGIC REVIEW

Restructuring Activities

As part of a strategic effort to reposition the Company and to renew focus on the personal loan business, we initiated a number of restructuring activities during the first half of 2012, including the following:  (1) ceased originating real estate loans nationwide and in the United Kingdom; (2) ceased retail sales financing; (3) consolidated certain branch operations resulting in closure of 231 branch offices. As a result of these initiatives, we reduced our workforce in our branch operations, at our Evansville, Indiana headquarters, and in our operations in the United Kingdom by 820 employees, and we incurred a pretax charge of $23.5 million during the first half of 2012.

Sale of Finance Receivables and Mortgage Brokerage Business

On August 29, 2012, our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom sold their entire finance receivable portfolios totaling $103.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $6.3 million. On August 31, 2012, our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom sold their mortgage brokerage business consisting of various intangible assets including supplier lists, records, sales, marketing and promotional material, the business pipeline, the client database and records, and the brand name, which resulted in a gain of $0.6 million. As a result of the sales of these assets, as well as our decision to cease loan originations in the United Kingdom, we recorded a loss of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, which represented the full impairment of our United Kingdom customer lists intangible assets and wrote off $1.4 million of related fixed assets.

Corporate Reorganization

In mid-2012, SFI took the initial steps to explore additional growth opportunities, including centralized online lending and strategic acquisitions of loan portfolios. SFI created Springleaf Consumer Loan, Inc. (“SCLI”) for centralized online lending to customers out of the SFC branch footprint. In addition to direct lending, SCLI has established certain strategic alliances with our state branch operating entities to provide online loan processing services for customers who are located in the geographic footprint of our branch network, but who prefer the convenience of interacting with us primarily online. Among other things, SCLI provides loan application processing and credit underwriting services on behalf of our branch offices for loan applications submitted through a centralized online or telephone application system that are within the branch footprint. SFI also created SAC for potential portfolio and other acquisitions. Subsidiaries of SAC and certain third parties recently purchased a portfolio of personal loans. SCLI and SAC are not subsidiaries of SFC.

In 2012, SFI and SFC realigned their internal structure related to the provision of certain administrative services. Historically, the employer for all of our employees has been SFMC, a subsidiary of SFC. SFMC provided management services for all of our companies, and also provided the employees who work in the branches for our state consumer lending entities. Because employees who work at our headquarters and certain other employees provide services to all of our entities, including subsidiaries of SFI, in late 2012 we reassigned over 1,000 employees who provide those services from SFMC to a new management corporation (“SGSC”), a subsidiary of SFI. Employees who work in the branches or primarily provide services to our branch system remain employees of SFMC. Most SFI subsidiaries, including SFMC and the state consumer lending entities, have entered into a services agreement with SGSC for the provision of various centralized services, such as accounting, human resources, and information technology support. These services previously had been provided by SFMC.

59

This reassignment of employees and the intercompany agreements related to the structural realignment were not expected to result in a material increase in the costs and expenses that SFC would have incurred had this reorganization not taken place. We continue to focus on our Core Consumer Operations. SGSC is not a subsidiary of SFC.

We sold the asset-backed notes for $255.4 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $4.4 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $114.0 million of the 2013-B Trust’s senior asset-backed notes and $29.8 million of the 2013-B Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes. In August 2013, we sold $114.0 million of the previously retained asset-backed notes and subsequently recorded $111.6 million of additional debt.

2013-BAC Securitization. On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which the 2013-BAC Trust, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, issued $500.0 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. We sold the personal loan-backed notes for gross proceeds of $500.0 million.

Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Securitization. On September 26, 2013, we established a private securitization transaction in which Midbrook Funding Trust 2013-VFN1, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No amounts were funded at closing, but may be funded from time to time over a one-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the one-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will amortize and will be due and payable in full in October 2017. At September 30, 2013, no amounts had been drawn under the notes.

Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Securitization. On September 27, 2013, we established a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-VFN1, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $350 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No amounts were funded at closing, but may be funded from time to time over a two-year period, which may be extended for one year, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the two-or three-year funding period, as the case may be, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will amortize and will be due and payable in full in October 2019. At September 30, 2013, no amounts had been drawn under the notes.

60

2013-2 Securitization.

On October 17, 2013, we sold $22.5 million of the previously retained mortgage-backed notes and subsequently recorded $22.7 million of additional debt.

SFC’s Offerings of Senior Notes

On May 29, 2013, SFC issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2020. On September 24, 2013, SFC issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior notes due 2021 (the “7.75% Senior Notes”) and $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2023 (the “8.25% Senior Notes”). SFC issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.75% Senior Notes and $200 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.25% Senior Notes in exchange for $700 million aggregate principal amount of SFC’s outstanding 6.90% medium term notes due 2017. SFC used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repurchase $183.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.90% medium term notes due 2017.

Repayments of Long-Term Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repaid $4.35 billion of long-term debt consisting of $2.45 billion of the secured term loan (net of the New Loan Tranche of $750.0 million), $656.0 million of securitizations, $652.7 million of medium-term notes (net of $700.0 million exchange of SFC’s medium-term notes discussed above), $431.6 million (€345.2 million) of Euro denominated notes, and $156.6 million of retail notes.

On October 11, 2013, SFFC made a prepayment, without penalty or premium, of $550.0 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. Following the prepayment, the initial loans under the secured term loan maturing in 2017 were fully repaid, and the outstanding principal amount of loans under the New Loan Tranche of the secured term loan maturing in 2019, put in place on September 30, 2013, totaled $750.0 million.

Springleaf Holdings, Inc. Restricted Stock Units

On September 30, 2013, certain executives of the Company were granted RSUs of Springleaf Holdings, LLC, the predecessor entity of SHI. These RSUs were converted into the right to receive 8.203125% of the outstanding shares of SHI common stock following the conversion of Springleaf Holdings, LLC into SHI on October 9, 2013. The shares of SHI common stock underlying these RSUs were delivered to the holders in October, 2013 after the conversion. The shares are fully vested, however generally cannot be sold or otherwise transferred for five years following the date of delivery, except to the extent necessary to satisfy certain tax obligations.

The Company has recognized this grant in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, based on the fair values.

61

Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC Incentive Units

On October 9, 2013, certain executives of the Company received a grant of incentive units in the Initial Stockholder. These incentive units are intended to encourage the executives to create sustainable, long-term value for the Company by providing them with interests that are subject to their continued employment with the Company and that only provide benefits (in the form of distributions) if the Initial Stockholder makes distributions to one or more of its common members that exceed specified amounts. The incentive units are entitled to vote together with the holders of common units in the Initial Stockholder as a single class on all matters. The incentive units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and the executives are entitled to receive these distributions only while they are employed with the Company, unless the executive’s termination of employment results from the executive’s death, in which case the executive’s beneficiaries will be entitled to receive any future distributions.

The Company will recognize these incentive units in accordance with ASC 710, Compensation– General, and will recognize compensation expense at the time distributions are made to the executives.

OUTLOOK

Assuming the U.S. economy continues to experience slow to moderate growth, we expect to maintain the favorable performance of our personal loans achieved during 2012 and the first nine months of 2013. We believe the strong credit quality of our personal loan portfolio is the result of our disciplined underwriting practices and ongoing collection efforts. We also continue to see growth in the volume of personal loan originations driven by several factors:

·Declining competition from banks, thrifts, and credit unions as these institutions have retreated from the non-prime market in the face of regulatory scrutiny and in the aftermath of the housing crisis. This reduction in competition has occurred concurrently with the exit of subprime credit card providers from the industry. As a result of the reduced lending of these competitors, access to credit has fallen substantially for the non-prime segment of customers, which, in turn, has increased our potential customer base.

·Slow but sustained economic growth.

·Migration of customer activity from traditional channels such as direct mail to online channels where we are well suited to capture volume due to our scale, technology, and deployment of advanced analytics.

·Our renewed focus on our personal loan business as we have discontinued real estate and other product originations both in our branches and in centralized lending.

We anticipate the credit quality ratios in our real estate loan portfolio will remain under pressure as the portfolio continues to liquidate, however, performance may improve as a result of strengthening home prices as well as increased centralization of real estate loan servicing and the application of analytics to more effectively target portfolio management and collections strategies.

Comparison of Consolidated Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 due to the net of the following:

(dollars in thousands)
2013 compared to 2012 - Three Months Ended September 30
Decrease in average net receivables	$	(19,521	)
Increase in yield	20,293
Total	$	772

Average net receivables decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to our liquidating real estate loan portfolio as well as the impact of our branch office closings during 2012, partially offset by higher personal loan average net receivables from our continued focus on personal loans.

Yield increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to our continued focus on personal loans, which have higher yields. This increase was partially offset by the increase in TDR finance receivables (which result in reduced finance charges reflecting the reductions to the interest rates on these TDR finance receivables) and the diminishing impact on yield from the effects of push-down accounting over time.

Interest expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 due to the following:

(dollars in thousands)
2013 compared to 2012 - Three Months Ended September 30
Decrease in average debt	$	(24,143	)
Decrease in weighted average interest rate	(37,906		)
Total	$	(62,049	)

Average debt decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $1.1 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $4.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These decreases were partially offset by eight securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.

The weighted average interest rate on our debt decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the debt repurchases and repayments discussed above, which resulted in lower accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt. The lower weighted average interest rate also reflected the completion of eight securitization transactions during the past twelve months, which generally have lower interest rates.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the additional allowance requirements of $12.7 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2013 on our real estate loans deemed to be TDR finance receivables subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition and growth in our personal loans in 2013. These increases were partially offset by favorable personal loan delinquency trends. The allowance for finance receivables losses was eliminated with the application of push-down accounting as the allowance for finance receivable losses was incorporated in the new fair value basis of the finance receivables as of the Fortress Acquisition date.

64

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt increased $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the repurchases of debt in 2013 at net amounts greater than par compared to the repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par, as well as repurchases of debt in 2013 with higher fair value mark losses when compared to 2012.

Other revenues – other increased $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variances in writedowns and net gain (loss) on sales of real estate owned properties primarily due to a decrease in the number of real estate owned properties and partially due to a change in our assumptions with respect to estimating the net realizable value of real estate owned effective December 31, 2012. The change in our assumptions resulted from our valuation assessment of real estate owned in comparison to realization experience.

Salaries and benefits increased $131.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to $131.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives in the third quarter of 2013.

Other operating expenses decreased $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to additional expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2012 for refunds to customers of our United Kingdom subsidiary relating to payment protection insurance, lower collateral fees paid to SFI during the third quarter of 2013 for the use of cash collateral used as security for derivatives with AIGFP, and lower amortization of other intangible assets resulting from the write off of our customer lists intangible assets as a result of the sale of Ocean finance receivables and brokerage business in August 2012. These decreases were partially offset by lower legal accruals in 2012.

Benefit from income taxes increased $28.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 37.9%. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to benefit from state income taxes and the impact of recording a partial valuation allowance related to our foreign and state operations.

Comparison of Consolidated Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 due to the net of the following:

(dollars in thousands)
2013 compared to 2012 - Nine Months Ended September 30
Decrease in average net receivables	$	(89,503	)
Increase in yield	58,628
Change in number of days (due to 2012 leap year)	(3,608		)
Total	$	(34,483	)

Average net receivables decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to our liquidating real estate loan portfolio as well as the impact of our branch office closings during 2012, partially offset by higher personal loan average net receivables resulting from our continued focus on personal loans.

Yield increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to our continued focus on personal loans, which have higher yields. This increase was partially offset by the increase in TDR finance receivables (which result in reduced finance charges

65

reflecting the reductions to the interest rates on these TDR finance receivables) and the diminishing impact on yield from the effects of push-down accounting over time.

Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 due to the following:

(dollars in thousands)
2013 compared to 2012 - Nine Months Ended September 30
Decrease in average debt	$	(66,887	)
Decrease in weighted average interest rate	(109,515		)
Total	$	(176,402	)

Average debt decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $1.1 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $4.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These decreases were partially offset by eight securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.

The weighted average interest rate on our debt decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the debt repurchases and repayments discussed above, which resulted in lower accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt. The lower weighted average interest rate also reflected the completion of eight securitization transactions during the past twelve months, which generally have lower interest rates.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $34.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the additional allowance requirements of $68.7 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 on our real estate loans deemed to be TDR finance receivables subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition and growth in our personal loans in 2013. These increases were partially offset by $41.2 million of recoveries on charged-off finance receivables resulting from a sale of these finance receivables to an unrelated third party in June 2013 and favorable personal and real estate loan delinquency trends. We expect to continue to sell charged-off finance receivables within our portfolios from time to time. If we were to sell additional charged-off finance receivables in a given period, we would recognize a decrease to our provision for finance receivables losses and improve our liquidity. The allowance for finance receivables losses was eliminated with the application of push-down accounting as the allowance for finance receivable losses was incorporated in the new fair value basis of the finance receivables as of the Fortress Acquisition date.

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt increased $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the repurchases of debt in 2013 at net amounts greater than par compared to the repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par, as well as repurchases of debt in 2013 with higher fair value mark losses when compared to 2012.

Other revenues – other increased $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variances in writedowns and net gain (loss) on sales of real estate owned primarily due to a decrease in the number of real estate owned properties and partially due to a change in our assumptions with respect to estimating the net realizable value of real estate owned effective December 31, 2012. The change in our assumptions resulted from our valuation assessment of real estate owned in comparison to realization experience. The increase in other revenues – other also reflected lower net losses on foreign exchange transactions relating to our Euro denominated debt, cross currency interest rate swap agreement, and Euro denominated cash and cash equivalents.

66

Salaries and benefits increased $122.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to $131.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives in the third quarter 2013, partially offset by lower pension expenses primarily due to the pension plan freeze effective December 31, 2012. Other operating expenses decreased $63.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to additional expenses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for refunds to customers of our United Kingdom subsidiary relating to payment protection insurance, lower occupancy costs as a result of fewer branch offices in 2013, lower real estate expenses on real estate owned, and lower amortization of other intangible assets resulting from the write off of our customer lists intangible assets as a result of the sale of Ocean finance receivables and brokerage business in August 2012.

We recorded restructuring expenses of $23.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to our branch office closings and workforce reductions, which were instituted as part of a strategic effort to reposition the Company and to renew focus on the personal loan business. See Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the restructuring expenses.

Benefit from income taxes decreased $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 36.3%. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to an increase of 2.2% for the benefit from state income taxes, net of provision for federal income taxes, an increase of 1.2% for the benefit of tax exempt income, and a decrease of 1.0% for an out-of-period adjustment related to 2012 that was recorded in March 2013. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this adjustment.

Reconciliation of Income (Loss) before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes on Push-Down Accounting Basis to Historical Accounting Basis

Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at November 30, 2010, the date of the Fortress Acquisition, in accordance with business combination accounting standards, or push-down accounting, which resulted in a $1.5 billion bargain purchase gain for the one month ended December 31, 2010. Push-down accounting affected and continues to affect, among other things, the carrying amount of our finance receivables and long-term debt, our finance charges on our finance receivables and related yields, our interest expense, our allowance for finance receivable losses, and our net charge-offs and charge-off ratio. In general, on a quarterly basis, we accrete or amortize the valuation adjustments recorded in connection with the Fortress Acquisition, or record adjustments based on current expected cash flows as compared to expected cash flows at the time of the Fortress Acquisition, in each case, as described in more detail in the footnotes to the table below. In addition, push-down accounting resulted in the elimination of accretion or amortization of discounts, premiums, and other deferred costs on our finance receivables and long-term debt prior to the Fortress Acquisition. The reconciliations of income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a push-down accounting basis to our historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP that we believe provides a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand our operating results) were as follows:

(c)Provision for finance receivable losses consists of the allowance for finance receivable losses adjustments and net charge-offs quantified in the table below. Allowance for finance receivable losses adjustments reflects the net difference between our allowance adjustment requirements calculated under our historical accounting basis net of adjustments required under push-down accounting basis. Net charge-offs reflects the net charge-off of loans at a higher carrying value under historical accounting basis versus the discounted basis to their fair value at date of the Fortress Acquisition under push-down accounting basis.

Total	$	14,048		$	177,846		$	19,981		$	199,251

(d)Repurchases and repayments of long-term debt adjustments reflect the impact on acceleration of the accretion of the net discount or amortization of the net premium applied to long-term debt.

(e)Amortization of other intangible assets reflects the amortization over the remaining estimated life of intangible assets established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition as a result of the application of push-down accounting.

69

(f)“Other” items reflects less significant differences between historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis relating to various items such as the elimination of deferred charges, adjustments to the basis of other real estate assets, fair value adjustments to fixed assets, adjustments to insurance claims and policyholder liabilities, and various other differences all as of the date of the Fortress Acquisition.

Segment Results

See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our revised segments. Management considers Consumer and Insurance as our Core Consumer Operations and Real Estate as our Non-Core Portfolio. Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition, which we refer to as “historical accounting basis,” to provide a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand the operating results of these segments. The historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP) also provides better comparability of the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry. See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial for reconciliations of segment totals to condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

We allocate revenues and expenses (on a historical accounting basis) to each segment using the following methodologies:

Finance charges	Directly correlated with a specific segment.
Interest expense	Disaggregated into three categories based on the underlying debt that the expense pertains to: (1) securitizations, (2) secured term loan, and (3) unsecured debt. Securitizations and the secured term loan are allocated to the segments whose finance receivables serve as the collateral securing each of the respective debt instruments. The unsecured debt is allocated to the segments based on the remaining balance of debt by segment.
Provision for finance receivable losses	Directly correlated with a specific segment except for allocations to “other,” which are based on the remaining delinquent accounts as a percentage of total delinquent accounts.
Insurance revenues	Directly correlated with a specific segment.
Investment revenues	Directly correlated with a specific segment.
Other revenues – other	Directly correlated with a specific segment except for gains and losses on foreign currency exchange, debt repurchases and repayments, and derivatives. These items are allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of unsecured debt.
Salaries and benefits	Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other salaries and benefits not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided.
Other operating expenses	Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other operating expenses not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided.
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses	Directly correlated with a specific segment.

70

We evaluate the performance of each of our segments based on its pretax operating earnings, which are presented below. Due to the changes in the composition of our previously reported segments, we have restated the corresponding segment information presented in the following tables for the prior year periods. The pretax operating results for each segment presented below are also disclosed in Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for each period included on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(a)The gross charge-off ratio and charge-off ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect $14.5 million of additional charge-offs recorded in March 2013 (on a historical accounting basis) related to our change in charge-off policy for personal loans effective March 31, 2013. Excluding these additional charge-offs, our Consumer gross charge-off ratio would have been 4.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(b)The charge-off ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects $25.4 million of recoveries on charged-off personal loans resulting from a sale of our charged-off finance receivables in June 2013. Excluding these recoveries, our Consumer net charge-off ratio would have been 4.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impacts of the $14.5 million of additional charge-offs and the $25.4 million of recoveries on charged-off personal loans, our Consumer net charge-off ratio would have been 3.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges increased $39.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in yield and average net receivables. Yield increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to pricing of new personal loans at higher state specific rates with concentrations in states with more favorable returns as a result of the restructuring activities during the first half of 2012. Average net receivables increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased originations on personal loans resulting from our continued focus on personal loans.

Interest expense increased $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to additional funding required to support increased originations on personal loans. This increase was partially offset by less utilization of financing from unsecured notes that was replaced by consumer loan securitizations, which generally have lower interest rates.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher increases to our allowance for finance receivable losses reflecting our personal loans originated in the 2013 period and lower recoveries on charged-off personal loans resulting from the sale of these loans in June 2013. These increases were partially offset by improving delinquency trends.

72

Insurance revenues increased $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in non-credit and credit earned premiums reflecting higher originations of personal loans in 2013.

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net gain on repurchases and repayments of debt of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The unfavorable variance in net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the repurchases of debt in 2013 at net amounts greater than par with deferred costs remaining compared to repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par.

Other revenues – other increased $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variance in net gains (losses) on foreign exchange transactions relating to our Euro denominated debt, cross currency interest rate swap agreement, and Euro denominated cash and cash equivalents.

Other operating expenses increased $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower legal accruals in 2012.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to an unfavorable variance in change in benefit reserves resulting from higher levels of insurance in force.

Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges increased $89.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in yield and average net receivables. Yield increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to pricing of new personal loans at higher state specific rates with concentrations in states with more favorable returns as a result of the restructuring activities during the first half of 2012. Average net receivables increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased originations on personal loans resulting from our continued focus on personal loans.

Interest expense increased $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to additional funding required to support increased originations on personal loans. This increase was partially offset by less utilization of financing from unsecured notes that was replaced by consumer loan securitizations, which generally have lower interest rates.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower decreases to our allowance for finance receivable losses in the 2013 period reflecting increased originations on personal loans in 2013. This increase was partially offset by $25.4 million of recoveries on charged-off personal loans resulting from the sale of these loans in June 2013 and improving delinquency trends.

Insurance revenues increased $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in non-credit and credit earned premiums reflecting higher originations of personal loans in 2013.

Investment revenues for Insurance increased $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variances in net realized gains (losses) on investment securities and higher average invested asset yield, partially offset by a decrease in average invested assets.

73

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt totaled $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net gain on repurchases and repayments of debt of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The unfavorable variance in net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the repurchase of debt in 2013 with deferred costs remaining and at net amounts greater than par compared to repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par.

Other revenues – other increased $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower net losses on foreign exchange transactions relating to our Euro denominated debt, cross currency interest rate swap agreement, and Euro denominated cash and cash equivalents.

We recorded restructuring expenses of $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with our branch office closings and workforce reductions in 2012.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to an unfavorable variance in change in benefit reserves resulting from higher levels of insurance in force.

Excluding these recoveries, our Real Estate loss ratio would have been 2.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges decreased $29.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to decreases in average net receivables and yield. Average net receivables decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the cessation of new originations of real estate loans as of January 1, 2012 and the continued liquidation of the portfolio. Yield decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the increase in TDR finance receivables (which result in reduced finance charges reflecting the reductions to the interest rates on these TDR finance receivables).

Interest expense decreased $36.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower secured term loan and unsecured debt interest expense allocated to Real Estate. These decreases were partially offset by higher ratio of securitization interest expense reflecting Real Estate’s utilization of three real estate loan securitization transactions since September 30, 2012.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $150.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. In September 2012, we switched from a migration analysis to a roll rate-based model for purposes of computing our allowance for finance receivables losses for our real estate loans, which resulted in a $144.6 million decrease in the allowance for finance receivable losses. This increase was partially offset by continued liquidation of the real estate portfolio.

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt totaled $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net gain on repurchases and repayments of debt of $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The unfavorable variance in net gain (loss) on repurchases and

76

repayments of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the repurchases of debt in 2013 at net amounts greater than par with deferred costs remaining compared to repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par.

Other revenues – other increased $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variances in writedowns and net gain (loss) on sales of real estate owned due to a change in our assumptions with respect to estimating the initial fair value of real estate owned effective December 31, 2012 and favorable variance in net gains (losses) on foreign exchange transactions relating to our Euro denominated debt, cross currency interest rate swap agreement, and Euro denominated cash and cash equivalents. The change in our assumptions resulted from our valuation assessment of real estate owned in comparison to realization experience.

Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Finance charges decreased $89.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to decreases in average net receivables and yield. Average net receivables decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the cessation of new originations of real estate loans as of January 1, 2012 and the continued liquidation of the portfolio. Yield decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the increase in TDR finance receivables (which result in reduced finance charges reflecting the reductions to the interest rates on these TDR finance receivables).

Interest expense decreased $90.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower secured term loan and unsecured debt interest expense allocated to Real Estate, partially offset by higher ratio of securitization interest expense reflecting Real Estate’s utilization of three real estate loan securitization transactions since September 30, 2012.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $218.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. In September 2012, we switched from a migration analysis to a roll rate-based model for purposes of computing our allowance for finance receivables losses for our real estate loans, which resulted in a $144.6 million decrease in the allowance for finance receivable losses. The increase in provisions for finance receivable losses also reflected the additional allowance requirements recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 on our real estate loans deemed to be TDR finance receivables subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition compared to reductions to the allowance for finance receivable losses for real estate loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to the cessation of real estate loan originations as of January 1, 2012. These increases were partially offset by $9.9 million of recoveries on charged-off real estate loans resulting from the sale of these loans in June 2013 and continued liquidation of the real estate portfolio.

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt totaled $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net gain on repurchases and repayments of debt of $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The unfavorable variance in net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the repurchase of debt in 2013 with deferred costs remaining and at net amounts greater than par compared to repurchases of debt in 2012 at net amounts less than par.

Other revenues – other increased $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to favorable variances in writedowns and net gain (loss) on sales of real estate owned due to a change in our assumptions with respect to estimating the initial fair value of real estate owned effective December 31, 2012 and lower net losses on foreign exchange transactions relating to our Euro denominated debt, cross currency interest rate swap agreement, and Euro denominated cash and cash equivalents. The change in our assumptions resulted from our valuation assessment of real estate owned in comparison to realization experience.

77

Other operating expenses decreased $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower real estate expenses on real estate owned.

We recorded restructuring expenses of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with our branch office closings and workforce reductions in 2012.

OTHER

“Other” consists of our other non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our prospective Core Consumer Operations and our Non-Core Portfolio. These operations include our legacy operations in 14 states where we have also ceased branch-based personal lending as a result of our restructuring activities during the first half of 2012, our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicated auto finance operation), our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Other also includes $131.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives in the third quarter of 2013, which is not considered pertinent in determining segment performance.

Credit Quality

Our customers encompass a wide range of borrowers. In the consumer finance industry, they are described as prime or near-prime at one extreme and non-prime or sub-prime at the other. Our customers’ incomes are generally near the national median but our customers may vary from national norms as to their debt-to-income ratios, employment and residency stability, and/or credit repayment histories. In general, our customers have lower credit quality and require significant levels of servicing.

As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting and adjusted the carrying value of our finance receivables (the “FA Loans”) to their fair value on November 30, 2010.

Carrying value of finance receivables includes accrued finance charges, unamortized deferred origination costs and unamortized net premiums and discounts on purchased finance receivables. We record an allowance for loan losses to cover expected losses on our finance receivables.

For the FA Loans, we segregate between those considered to be performing (“FA Performing Loans”) and those for which it was determined it was probable that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments (“FA Credit Impaired Loans”). For the FA Performing Loans, we accrete the purchase discount to contractual cash flows over the remaining life of the loan to finance charges. For the FA Credit Impaired Loans, we record the expected credit loss at purchase and recognize finance charges on the expected effective yield.

We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivable as our primary credit quality indicator. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. We consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING

We make modifications to our real estate loans to assist borrowers in avoiding foreclosure. When we modify a real estate loan’s contractual terms for economic or other reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and grant a concession that we would not otherwise consider, we classify that loan as a TDR finance receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed the majority of our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitization debt, unsecured debt, and borrowings under our secured term loan. In the future, we plan to finance our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitization debt, unsecured debt, and other corporate debt facilities.

Our primary cash needs relate to funding our lending activities, our debt service obligations, our operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, expenditures relating to upgrading and monitoring our technology platform, risk systems, and branch locations.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain reserves as liabilities on the balance sheet to cover future claims for certain insurance products. Claims reserves totaled $67.1 million as of September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013, we had $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we generated a net loss of $73.7 million and net cash inflow from operating and investing activities of $540.8 million. At September 30, 2013, our remaining principal and interest payments for 2013 on our existing debt (excluding securitizations) totaled $560.0 million. Additionally, we have $262.8 million of debt maturities and interest payments (excluding securitizations) due in the first nine months of 2014. As of September 30, 2013, we had $1.4 billion UPB of unencumbered personal loans and $1.0 billion UPB of unencumbered real estate loans. In addition, SFC may demand payment of some or all of its note receivable from SFI ($538.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2013); however, SFC does not anticipate the need for additional liquidity during 2013 and does not expect to demand payment from SFI in 2013.

Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of our plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.

To reduce the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates on our debt not offset by favorable changes in yield of our finance receivables, we monitor the anticipated cash flows of our assets and liabilities, principally our finance receivables and debt. We have funded finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity and have based the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt issuances, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported. We have also employed interest rate swap agreements to adjust our fixed/floating mix of total debt. On August 5, 2013, we terminated our remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement. On a historical accounting basis, our floating-rate debt represented 18% of our borrowings at September 30, 2013 and 31% at December 31, 2012 (which included the impact of our remaining interest rate swap agreement). Adjustable-rate real estate loans represented 5% of our real estate loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (on a historical accounting basis).

LIQUIDITY

Operating Activities

Cash from operations decreased $56.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher advertising expenses and legal settlement costs paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These increases were partially offset by lower occupancy expenses reflecting fewer branch offices in the 2013 period as a result of the restructuring activities during the first half of 2012 and lower pension expenses primarily due to the pension plan freeze effective December 31, 2012.

Investing Activities

Cash from investing activities decreased $841.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher personal loan originations, restrictions on cash due to the completion of eight securitization transactions since September 30, 2012, and decreases in proceeds from sales of finance receivables held for sale and principal collections on finance receivables.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities increased $449.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 due to higher net repayments of long-term debt combined with seven securitization transactions and three unsecured offerings of senior notes in the 2013 period.

Liquidity Risks and Strategies

We currently have a significant amount of indebtedness in relation to our equity. SFC’s credit ratings are non-investment grade, which have a significant impact on our cost of, and access to, capital. This, in turn, negatively affects our ability to manage our liquidity and our ability and cost to refinance our indebtedness.

There are numerous risks to our financial results, liquidity, capital raising, and debt refinancing plans, some of which may not be quantified in our current liquidity forecasts. These risks include, but are not limited, to the following:

·our inability to grow our personal loan portfolio with adequate profitability;

·the effect of federal, state and local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices;

·the liquidation and related losses within our real estate portfolio could be substantial and result in reduced cash receipts;

·potential liability relating to real estate and personal loans which we have sold or may sell in the future, or relating to securitized loans; and

·the potential for disruptions in bond and equity markets.

83

The principal factors that could decrease our liquidity are customer delinquencies and defaults, a decline in customer prepayments, and a prolonged inability to adequately access capital market funding. We intend to support our liquidity position by utilizing the following strategies:

·managing purchases of finance receivables and maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and pricing for loans we originate or purchase;

·pursuing additional debt financings (including new securitizations and new unsecured debt issuances, debt refinancing transactions and standby funding facilities), or a combination of the foregoing,

·purchasing portions of our outstanding indebtedness through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration, as we or our affiliates may determine; and

·obtaining secured revolving credit facilities to allow us to use excess cash to pay down higher cost debt.

However, it is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates could prove to be materially incorrect.

OUR INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES

State law restricts the amounts our insurance subsidiaries, Merit and Yosemite, may pay as dividends without prior notice to, or in some cases approval from, the Indiana Department of Insurance. The maximum amount of dividends that can be paid without prior approval in a 12 month period, measured retrospectively from the date of payment, is the greater of 10% of policyholders’ surplus as of the prior year-end, or the net gain from operations as of the prior year-end. Our insurance subsidiaries paid $150.0 million of extraordinary dividends in the second quarter of 2012 upon receiving prior approval. On July 19, 2013, our insurance subsidiaries paid an additional $150.0 million of extraordinary dividends upon receiving prior approval. On July 31, 2013, Yosemite paid, as an extraordinary dividend to SFC, 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, CommoLoCo, Inc., in the amount of $57.8 million, upon receiving prior approval.

OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS

The debt agreements to which SFC and its subsidiaries are a party include customary terms and conditions, including covenants and representations and warranties. These agreements also contain certain restrictions, including restrictions on the ability to create senior liens on property and assets in connection with any new debt financings and restrictions on the intercompany transfer of funds from certain subsidiaries to SFC or SFI, except for those funds needed for debt payments and operating expenses. SFC subsidiaries that borrow funds through the secured term loan are also required to pledge eligible finance receivables or certain other assets to support their borrowing under the secured term loan.

With the exception of SFC’s junior subordinated debentures and the 2013-BAC securitization, none of our debt agreements require SFC or any of its subsidiaries to meet or maintain any specific financial targets or ratios, except the requirement to maintain a certain level of pledged finance receivables or certain other assets under the secured term loan.

Under our debt agreements, certain events, including non-payment of principal or interest, bankruptcy or insolvency, or a breach of a covenant or a representation or warranty may constitute an event of default and trigger an acceleration of payments. In some cases, an event of default or acceleration of payments under one debt agreement may constitute a cross-default under other debt agreements resulting in an acceleration of payments under the other agreements.

As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

84

Junior Subordinated Debentures

In January 2007, SFC issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debentures (the “debentures”) under an indenture dated January 22, 2007 (the “Junior Subordinated Indenture”), by and between SFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, as trustee. The debentures underlie the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. SFC can redeem the debentures at par beginning in January 2017.

The Junior Subordinated Indenture restricts SFC’s ability to sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets, unless the transferee assumes SFC’s obligations and covenants under the Junior Subordinated Indenture. The Junior Subordinated Indenture provides for customary events of default, including: payment defaults; bankruptcy and insolvency; and upon admission by SFC in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or that it has taken corporate action with regard to the commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding debentures will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debentures may declare all the debentures to be due and payable immediately.

Further, pursuant to the terms of the debentures, SFC, upon the occurrence of a mandatory trigger event, is required to defer interest payments to the holders of the debentures (and not make dividend payments to SFI) unless SFC obtains non-debt capital funding in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the debentures otherwise payable on the next interest payment date and pays such amount to the holders of the debentures. A mandatory trigger event occurs if SFC’s (1) tangible equity to tangible managed assets is less than 5.5% or (2) average fixed charge ratio is not more than 1.10x for the trailing four quarters (where the fixed charge ratio equals earnings excluding income taxes, interest expense, extraordinary items, goodwill impairment, and any amounts related to discontinued operations, divided by the sum of interest expense and any preferred dividends).

Based upon SFC’s financial results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, a mandatory trigger event occurred with respect to the payment due in January 2014 as the average fixed charge ratio was 0.76x (while the tangible equity to tangible managed assets ratio was 9.59%). As of November 12, 2013, SFC has not obtained the non-debt capital funding necessary to satisfy the January 2014 interest payments required by SFC’s debentures.

2013-BAC Securitization

On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which the 2013-BAC Trust, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, issued $500.0 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. We sold the personal loan-backed notes for gross proceeds of $500.0 million.

In connection with the 2013-BAC securitization, SFC is required to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth covenant. At September 30, 2013, SFC is in compliance with this covenant.

Secured Term Loan

SFFC, our wholly owned subsidiary, is party to a six-year secured term loan pursuant to a credit agreement among SFFC, SFC, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and a syndicate of lenders, various agents, and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent.

On April 11, 2013, SFFC made a mandatory prepayment, without penalty or premium, of $714.9 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. On each of May 15, 2013 and May 30, 2013, SFFC made additional prepayments, without penalty or premium, of $500.0 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. On July 29, 2013 and September

30, 2013, SFFC made prepayments, without penalty or premium, of $235.1 million and $1.25 billion, respectively, of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. In addition, on September 30, 2013, the parties to the secured term loan entered into the New Loan Tranche, which consisted of new term loan commitments totaling $750.0 million pursuant to the incremental facility joinder agreement to the secured term loan. Proceeds from the New Loan Tranche were used to fund the $1.25 billion prepayment of existing secured term loans due 2017. On October 11, 2013, SFFC made a prepayment, without penalty or premium, of $550.0 million of outstanding principal (plus accrued interest) on the secured term loan. Following the prepayment, the initial loans under the secured term loan maturing in 2017 were fully repaid, and the outstanding principal amount of loans under the New Loan Tranche of the secured term loan maturing in 2019, put in place on September 30, 2013, totaled $750.0 million.

In addition to the structured financings included in the table above, we completed two conduit securitizations in September 2013, which were not funded at closing, as discussed in “2013 Initiatives – Consumer Loan Securitizations.”

86

Our recent securitizations have served to partially replace secured and unsecured debt in our capital structure with more favorable non-recourse funding. Our overall funding costs are positively impacted by our increased usage of securitizations as we typically execute these transactions at interest rates significantly below those of our maturing secured and unsecured debt.

The weighted average interest rates on our debt on a historical accounting basis were as follows:

	Three Months		Three Months		Nine Months		Nine Months
	Ended		Ended		Ended		Ended
	September 30,		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Weighted average interest rate	5.44	%	6.01	%	5.64	%	6.07	%

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We consider the following policies to be our most critical accounting policies because they involve critical accounting estimates and a significant degree of management judgment:

·allowance for finance receivable losses;

·purchased credit impaired finance receivables;

·TDR finance receivables;

·push-down accounting; and

·fair value measurements.

We believe the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses is the most significant estimate we make. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for further discussion of the models and assumptions used to assess the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
