SPRINGLEAF FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Business and Basis of Presentation    

Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”). SFI is a wholly owned subsidiary of SpringleafOneMain Holdings, Inc. (“SHI”OMH”).

At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”) owned approximately 58% of SHI’sOMH’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) and AIG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). As a result of SHI’s offering of its common stock in May of 2015, the economic interests of Fortress and AIG have been reduced to approximately 55% and 3%, respectively, at June 30, 2015. See Note 2 for further information on this offering.

SFC is a financial services holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the consumer finance and insurance businesses.

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, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain subsidiaries associated with a joint venture in which we ownowned a 47% equity interest)interest prior to March 31, 2016), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest and for which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary as of the financial statement date.

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. 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. To conform to the 2016 presentation, we have reclassified certain items in prior periods, including certain items in prior periods of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20142015 (“20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting.

To conform to the 2015 presentation, we reclassified certain prior period items as a result of our early adoption of accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-03”). See Note 3 for further information on the adoption of this ASU.

Prior Period Revisions

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we discovered that our personal loans deemed to be troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) finance receivables were previously incorrectly excluded in the related disclosures of our finance receivables and allowance for finance receivable losses. The applicable prior period amounts have been corrected in Notes 4 and 5 in this report.


8


During the second quarter of 2015, we identified incorrect allocations of our total assets disclosure within the segment footnote. We have evaluated the impact of these errors and concluded that they were not material to any previously issued financial statements, however, we have corrected the previously disclosed periods in Note 16 of this report. We will also correct the prior period segment disclosures presented in our applicable quarterly and annual reports as follows:

During the second quarter of 2015, we discovered that we had not charged-off certain bankrupt accounts in our SpringCastle Portfolio and we identified an error in the calculation of the allowance for our TDR personal loans. As a result of these findings, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment in the second quarter of 2015, which increased provision for finance receivable losses by $8 million and decreased provision for income taxes by $3 million.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements    

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In January of 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs — that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest,which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under this standard, debt issuance costs related to a note shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the face amount of that note. The ASU also clarifies that discount, premium or debt issuance costs shall not be classified as a deferred charge or deferred credit. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued and must be applied retrospectively. We elected to early adopt this ASU as of June 30, 2015 and have applied this ASU retrospectively. On June 30, 2015, we reclassified $32 million of debt issuance costs previously recorded in other assets to long-term debt. After retrospectively applying this new ASU, we also reclassified $29 million of debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2014 from other assets to long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We will continue to report fees paid to access our conduit facilities in other assets. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Push Down Accounting

In May of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, Business Combinations-Pushdown Accounting, to remove Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff guidance on pushdown accounting from the Accounting Standards Codification. The SEC staff had previously rescinded its guidance with the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 when the FASB issued its own pushdown accounting guidance in November 2014. The ASU is effective immediately. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Many of our revenue sources are not within the scope of this new standard, and we are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We have a few investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. However, application of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Short-Duration Insurance Contracts Disclosures

In May of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-09, Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts, to address enhanced disclosure requirements for insurers relating to short-duration insurance contract claims and unpaid claims liability rollforward for long and short-duration contracts. The disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an insurance entity’s initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments to those estimates, the methodologies and judgments used to estimate claims, and the timing, frequency, and severity of claims. The amendments in this ASU isbecome effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

The update requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income. This ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions to estimate fair value for financial instruments, requires the use of the exit price for disclosure purposes, requires the change in liability due to a change in credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive income, requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of asset (securities and loans), and clarifies the need for evaluation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. The amendments in this ASU become effective prospectively for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.

The ASU will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on leases with terms greater than 12 months and to disclose information related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including various qualitative and quantitative requirements. The amendments of this ASU become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015.2018.

The ASU requires assessing the potential impactembedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendment of adoptingthis ASU becomes effective on a modified retrospective basis for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016.

The ASU requires that an entity that has available-for-sale securities recognize, through earnings, the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendment in this ASU becomes effective prospectively for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. We will evaluate whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

While moston principal versus agent considerations from ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-08 does not change the core principle of the amendmentsguidance in ASU 2014-09, but rather clarifies the distinction between principal versus agent considerations when implementing ASU 2014-09. As these are technical corrections and improvements only, the company does not expected tobelieve that this ASU will have a significantmaterial effect on practice, some of them could change practice for some entities. The amendments to transition guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015; all other changes are effective upon issuance of this ASU. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation

In March of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share - Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment in this ASU becomes effective on a modified retrospective transition for accounting in tax benefits recognized, retrospectively for accounting related to the presentation of employee taxes paid, prospective for accounting related to recognition of excess tax benefits, and either a prospective or retrospective method for accounting related to presentation of excess employee tax benefits for annual periods,

and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. We will evaluate whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We accrue finance charges on revolving retail finance receivables up to the date of charge-off at 180 days past due. Our revolving retail finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges at June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 20142015 were immaterial. Our personal loans SpringCastle Portfolio, 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 as nonperforming, we consider them to be at increased risk for credit loss.

*Unrealized losses on certain available-for-sale securities were less than $1 million and, therefore, are not quantified in the table above.

We do not consider the above unrealized losses to be credit-related, as these unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. Additionally, at March 31, 2016, we have no plans to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, and we believe it is more likely than not that we would not be required to sell such investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

We continue to monitor unrealized loss positions for potential impairments. During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment credit loss write-downs tolosses on available-for-sale securities in investment revenues.

During the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, there were no additions or reductions in the cumulative amount of credit losses (recognized in earnings) on other-than-temporarily impaired available-for-sale securities.

The OMH guarantees of SFC’s long-term debt discussed above are subject to customary release provisions.

11. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings. As a result of the 2014 sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to its previous mortgage securitization transactions, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt.

CONSOLIDATED VIES

We evaluated the securitization trusts and determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary;beneficiary, and, therefore, we consolidated 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. Our retained subordinated notesnote and residual interest trust certificates expose us to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.

The remaining asset-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. The holders of the asset-backed securities have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying qualified securitized assets are not sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the asset-backed securities. 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 securitization trust. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including residual interests in each securitization trust and, in some cases, subordinated securities issued by the VIEs and residual interests.VIEs. We retain credit

risk in the securitizations becausethrough our

29


retained interests includethe residual interest in each securitization trust, and, in some cases, ownership of the most subordinated interest in the securitized assets,class of asset-backed securities, 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.

We parenthetically disclose on our consolidated balance sheets the VIE’s assets that can only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and liabilities if its creditors have no recourse against the primary beneficiary’s general credit. The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with our securitization trusts were as follows:

13. Income Taxes    

At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had a net deferred tax liability of $112$122 million, compared to $156$89 million at December 31, 2014.2015. The decreaseincrease in the net deferred tax liability of $33 million was primarily due to purchase accounting for debt writedown. Thethe impact toof the SpringCastle Interests Sale, partially offset by changes in the fair value of our uncertain tax positions was immaterial.finance receivables.

The effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was 9.8%34.9% compared to 38.3%19.3% for the same period in 2014.2015. The effective tax raterates for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015 differed from the federal statutory raterates primarily due to the effecteffects of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed frompreviously owned SpringCastle Portfolio. As discussed in Note 2, on March 31, 2016, the federal statutory rate primarily due toCompany sold its equity interest in the effect of our state income taxes.SpringCastle Portfolio.

We are currently under examination of our U.S. Federalfederal tax return for the yearyears 2011 to 2013 by the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes it has adequately provided for taxes for such year.years.

The Company’s unrecognized tax positions including interest and penalties totaled $9 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of any change in the balance of uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.


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 condensed 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

SALES RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS

During 2014, we established a reserve for sales recourse obligations of $22 million related to the real estate loan sales. At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our reserve for sales recourse obligations totaled $18$15 million, of which $17 millionprimarily related to the real estate loan sales in 2014. During the second quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we repurchased 13 loans, totaling $1 million, associated with the real estate loan sales in 2014. There washad no repurchase activity associated with the real estate loanand no material activity related to our reserve for sales in 2014 or other prior sales of finance receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.recourse obligations. At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, there were no material recourse requests with loss exposure that management believes will not be covered by the reserve. However, we will continue to monitor any repurchase activity in the future and will adjust the reserve accordingly.

The activity in our reserve for sales recourse obligations associated with the real estate loan sales during 2014 and other prior sales of finance receivables was as follows:
  Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,

It is inherently difficult to determine whether any recourse losses are probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amounts of any losses. In addition, even where recourse losses are reasonably possible or exposure to such losses exists in excess of the liability already accrued, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible recourse losses or range of losses.

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 of 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 $9 million at June 30, 2015 and $14 million at December 31, 2014. We do not believe that any additional losses related to PPI claims in excess of the amounts accrued will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

16. Segment Information    

Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our three segments include:

Consumer and Insurance;
Acquisitions and Servicing; and
Real Estate.

When we initially defined our operating segments in early 2013, we presented Consumer and Insurance as two distinct reporting segments. However, over the course of 2013 and into 2014, management has shifted its strategy for the Insurance segment toward organic growth primarily as an ancillary product complementing our consumer lending activities and has been increasingly viewing and managing the Insurance segment together with Consumer. As a result of the changes in strategy and the way that management views the insurance business of the Company, we began presenting them as one segment, effective December 31, 2014. To conform to the new segment alignment, we have revised our prior period segment disclosures. The Acquisitions and Servicing segment was added effective July 31, 2014, as a result of the SAC Capital Contribution on July 31, 2014.

Management considers Consumer and Insurance, and Acquisitions and Servicing as our “Core Consumer Operations” and Real Estate as our “Non-Core Portfolio.”

Our segments are managed as follows:

Core Consumer Operations

Consumer and Insurance — We originate and service personal loans (secured and unsecured) through two business divisions: branch operations and centralized operations and offer credit insurance (life insurance, accident and healthdisability insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection. Branch operations primarily conduct business in 27 states, which are our core operating states. Our centralized operations underwrite and process certain loan applications that we receive from our branch operations or through an internet portal. If the applicant is located near an existing branch (“in footprint”), our centralized operations make the credit decision regarding the application and then request, but do not require, the customer to visit a nearby branch for closing, funding and servicing. If the applicant is not located near a branch (“out of footprint”), our centralized operations originate the loan.

Acquisitions and Servicing We serviceSFI services the SpringCastle Portfolio that was acquired by an indirect subsidiary of SHIOMH through a joint venture in which SFC currently ownsowned a 47% equity interest. TheOn March 31, 2016, the SpringCastle Portfolio consistswas sold in connection with the sale of our equity interest in the SpringCastle Joint Venture. These loans consist of unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests) and includesinclude both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans vary in form and substance from our typical branch serviced loans and are in a liquidating status.status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans. Unless terminated, SFI will continue to provide the servicing for these loans, which we service as unsecured loans because the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests.

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 or previously acquired or originated through centralized distribution channels are serviced by: (i) MorEquity and subserviced by Nationstar; (ii) Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc.; or (iii) our centralized operations. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar. Prior to the OneMain Acquisition, this segment also included proceeds from the sale of our real estate loans in 2014. OMH used these proceeds to acquire OneMain.

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 includeinclude: (i) our legacy operations in 14 states where we havehad also ceased branch-based personal lending,lending; (ii) our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicatedits legacy auto finance operation),; (iii) our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands,Islands; and (iv) the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary.

We evaluate the performance of the segments based on pretax operating earnings. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as described below.

Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-downpurchase accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using “Segment Accounting Basis,” which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves and acquisition costs to reflect the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition,manner in which we referassess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting. These allocations and adjustments have a material effect on our reported segment basis income as compared to as “historical accountingGAAP. We believe a Segment Accounting Basis (a basis” to provide a consistent basis for both management and

35


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 ofinvestors the operating results of these segmentsbasis for which management evaluates segment performance.

We allocate revenues and expenses (on a Segment Accounting Basis) to our competitors and other companies ineach segment using the financial services industry. The historical accounting basis is not applicable to the Acquisitions and Servicing segment since this segment resulted from the SAC Capital Contribution subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition.following methodologies:

Interest incomeDirectly correlated with a specific segment.
Interest expense
Acquisition and Servicing - This segment includes interest expense specifically identified to the SpringCastle Portfolio.
Consumer and Insurance, Real Estate and Other - The Company has securitization debt and unsecured debt. The Company first allocates interest expense to its segments based on actual expense for securitizations and secured term debt and using a weighted average for unsecured debt allocated to the segments. Average unsecured debt allocations for the periods presented are as follows:
Subsequent to the OneMain Acquisition
Total average unsecured debt is allocated as follows:
l  Consumer and Insurance - receives remainder of unallocated average debt; and
l  Real Estate and Other - at 100% of asset base. (Asset base represents the average net finance receivables including finance receivables held for sale.)
The net effect of the change in debt allocation and asset base methodologies for the three months ended March 31, 2015 had it been in place as of the beginning of the year would be an increase in interest expense of $54 million for Consumer and Insurance and a decrease in interest expense of $45 million and $9 million for Real Estate and Other, respectively.
For the period third quarter 2014 to the OneMain Acquisition
Total average unsecured debt is allocated to Consumer and Insurance, Real Estate and Other, such that the total debt allocated across each segment equals 83%, up to 100% and 100% of each of its respective asset base. Any excess is allocated to Consumer and Insurance.
Average unsecured debt is allocated after average securitized debt to achieve the calculated average segment debt.
Asset base represents the following:
l  Consumer and Insurance - average net finance receivables including average net finance receivables held for sale;
l  Real Estate - average net finance receivables including average net finance receivables held for sale, cash and cash equivalents, investments including proceeds from Real Estate sales; and
l Other - average net finance receivables other than the periods listed below:
l  May 2015 to the OneMain Acquisition - average net finance receivables and cash and cash equivalents less proceeds from equity issuance in 2015, operating cash reserve and cash included in other segments.
l February 2015 to April 2015 - average net finance receivables and cash and cash equivalents less operating cash reserve and cash included in other segments.
Provision for finance receivable lossesDirectly 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.
Other revenuesDirectly correlated with a specific segment, except for: (i) net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debt, which is allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt and (ii) gains and losses on foreign currency exchange, which is allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt.
Salaries and benefitsDirectly 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 expensesDirectly 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 policy benefits and claimsDirectly correlated with a specific segment.

(b)See Note 1 for further information on the correction of this prior period disclosure.
As a result of our early adoption of ASU 2015-03, we reclassified $32 million of debt issuance costs from other assets to long-term debt as of March 31, 2015.

In connection with our policy integration with OneMain, we report unearned insurance premium and claim reserves related to finance receivables (previously reported in insurance claims and policyholder liabilities) as a contra-asset to net finance receivables, which totaled $216 million at March 31, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, we identified incorrect allocations of our total assets disclosure within our segment footnote and have corrected the previously disclosed total assets at March 31, 2015 in the table above.

17. Fair Value Measurements    

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be expected to 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.

(b)During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we transferred $1 million of RMBS securities into Level 3 primarily due to lesser pricing transparency.

(c)During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we transferred RMBS and CDO/ABS securities totaling $3 million out of Level 3 primarily due to greater pricing transparency.

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 June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 is as follows:

(a)At June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, RMBS consisted of one bond. At December 31, 2014, corporate debt and CMBS also consisted of one bond.bond, which was less than $1 million.

(b)During the first quarter of 2015, we identified that we incorrectly disclosed the weighted average ranges of our RMBS bond and CMBS bond as of December 31, 2014. The weighted average ranges of these bonds at December 31, 2014 have been corrected in the table above.Not applicable.

(c)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, including RMBS (except for the one bond previously noted), CMBS, (except for the one bond previously noted), 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 finance receivables held for sale, we wrote down certain finance receivables held for sale reported in our Real Estate segment to their fair value during the first quarter of 2016 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues.


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 our Real Estate segment to their fair value less cost to sell for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2014 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues — other. The fair values of real estate owned disclosed in the table above are unadjusted for transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The amounts of real estate owned recorded in other assets 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 reported in our Consumer and Insurance segment to record their fair value for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2014 and recorded the net impairments in investment revenues.

The inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our real estate owned and commercial mortgage loans are unobservable primarily due to the unique nature of specific real estate assets. Therefore, we used independent third-party providers, familiar with local markets, to determine the values used for fair value disclosures 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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents in certificates of deposit and commercial paper, approximates fair value.

Mutual Funds

The fair valueOur unit of mutual fundsaccount is based on quoted market prices of the underlying shares held in the mutual funds.fund, which is measured at net asset value.

Investment Securities

We utilize third-party valuation service providers to measure the fair value of our investment securities, which are classified as available-for-sale or as trading and other and consist primarily of bonds. Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure investment securities at fair value. We generally obtain market price data from exchange or dealer markets.

We estimate 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, composite ratings, bid-ask spreads, 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 adjust 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.

We classifyelect the fair value option for investment securities that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value as trading securities at fair value.the derivative.

The fair value of certificates of deposit and commercial paper having maturity dates greater than three monthscertain investment securities is based on the amortized cost, which is assumed to approximate fair value.

Finance Receivables

The fair value of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and purchased credit impaired, are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The application of these methodologies requires 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 is 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 weaknesseslimitations in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.


46


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.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Note Receivable from Parent

The carrying amount of the note receivable from parent approximates 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.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Given the short remaining average life of the portfolio, the carrying amount of commercial mortgage loans approximates fair value. The carrying amount includes an estimate for credit related losses which is based on independent third-party valuations.

Real Estate Owned

We initially basedbase our estimate of the fair value on independent third-party valuations at the time we tooktake 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.

Escrow Advance Receivable

The carrying amount of escrow advance receivable approximates fair value.

Receivables from Parent and Affiliates

The carrying amount of receivables from parent and affiliates approximates fair value.

Receivables Related to Sales of Real Estate Loans and Related Trust Assets

The carrying amount of receivables related to sales of real estate loans and related trust assets less estimated forfeitures, which are reflected in other liabilities, approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt

We either receive fair value measurements of our long-term debt from market participants and pricing services or we estimate 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.

We record at fair value long-term debt issuances that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value the derivative. At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had no debt carried at fair value under the fair value option.

We estimate the fair values associated with variable rate revolving lines of credit to be equal to par.

Payables to Parent and Affiliates

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

SFC’S OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES

On April 11, 2016, SFC issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Contents8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 under an Indenture dated as of December 3, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the notes on an unsecured basis.

SFC used a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repurchase approximately $600 million aggregate principal amount of its existing senior notes that mature in 2017, at a premium to principal amount from certain beneficial owners, and certain of those beneficial owners purchased notes in the offering. SFC intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include further debt repurchases and repayments.

The notes will mature on December 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2016. The notes are SFC’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of SFC’s other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes are guaranteed by OMH and will not be guaranteed by any of SFC’s subsidiaries or any other party. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of SFC’s secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations and structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of SFC’s subsidiaries with respect to claims against the assets of such subsidiaries.

The notes may be redeemed at any time and from time to time, at the option of SFC, in whole or in part at a “make-whole” redemption price specified in the Indenture. The notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things (i) limit SFC’s ability to create liens on assets and (ii) restrict SFC’s ability to consolidate, merge or sell its assets. The Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the notes to become, or to be declared, due and payable.

LENDMARK SALE

On May 2, 2016, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2015, by and between OneMain Holdings, Inc., certain of our subsidiaries and Lendmark and as required by our previously disclosed DOJ Settlement Agreement, we completed the sale of 127 Springleaf branches and, subject to certain exclusions, the associated personal loans issued to customers of such branches, fixed non-information technology assets and certain other tangible personal property located in such branches to Lendmark for an aggregate cash purchase price of $624 million. Such sale was effective as of April 30, 2016, and included the sale to Lendmark of personal loans with an unpaid principal balance as of March 31, 2016, of $600 million. OMH has entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Lendmark, and OMH’s and our activities will remain subject to the oversight of the Monitoring Trustee appointed by the Court pursuant to the DOJ Settlement Agreement until the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement. Although we and OMH continue to take such steps as we believe are necessary to comply with the terms of the DOJ Settlement Agreement, no assurance can be given that we will not incur fines or penalties associated with OMH’s or our activities pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or OMH’s or our efforts to comply with the terms of the DOJ Settlement Agreement.

On May 2, 2016, SFC used a portion of the proceeds from the Lendmark Sale to repay, in full, its revolving demand note with OMFH, which totaled $376 million (including interest payable of $6 million).

Overview    

Springleaf is a leadingbranch-based consumer finance company providing responsible loan productspersonal loans primarily to non-prime customers. We originate consumer loanscustomers through ourits network of 824over 800 branch offices in 27 states as of March 31, 2016 and on a centralized basis as part of its centralized operations and our centralized operations.iLoan platform. We also pursue strategic acquisitions of loan portfolios. Through two insurance subsidiaries, we write credit and non-credit insurance policies covering our customers.customers and the property pledged as collateral for our personal loans.

OUR SEGMENTS

At June 30, 2015, we had three business segments: Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Real Estate. The Acquisitions and Servicing segment was added effective July 31, 2014, as a result of the SAC Capital Contribution on July 31, 2014.

When we initially defined our operating segments in early 2013, we presented Consumer and Insurance as two distinct reporting segments. However, over the course of 2013 and into 2014, management has shifted its strategy for the Insurance segment toward organic growth primarily as an ancillary product complementing our consumer lending activities and has been increasingly viewing and managing the Insurance segment together with Consumer. As a result of the changes in strategy and the way that management views the insurance business of the Company, we began presenting them as one segment, effective December 31, 2014. To conform to the new segment alignment, we have revised our prior period segment disclosures in “Segment Results”.

See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our segments.

Recent Developments and Outlook    

SHI’S PENDING ACQUISITION OF ONEMAIN FINANCIALSPRINGCASTLE INTERESTS SALE

We and SHI regularly consider strategic acquisitions and have been involved in transactions of various magnitudes involving a variety of forms of consideration and financing. On March 2, 2015, SHI31, 2016, the SpringCastle Sellers, wholly owned subsidiaries of OMH, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreementpurchase agreement with CitiFinancialthe SpringCastle Buyers. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, SpringCastle Holdings sold its 47% limited liability company interests in each of SpringCastle America, LLC, SpringCastle Credit, CompanyLLC and SpringCastle Finance, LLC, and Springleaf Acquisition sold its 47% limited liability company interest in SpringCastle Acquisition LLC, to acquire OneMainthe SpringCastle Buyers for an aggregate purchase price of $4.25 billion. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Acquisition will close, or, if it does, when the actual closing will occur. SHI continues to evaluate its plans regarding the integration of OneMain with its remaining businesses including us.

SHI’S EQUITY OFFERING

On May 4, 2015, SHI completed an offering of 27,864,525 shares of its common stock, consisting of 19,417,476 shares of common stock offered by SHI and 8,447,049 shares of common stock offered by the Initial Stockholder. As a result of the completion of this offering, the Initial Stockholder owned approximately 58% of SHI common stock at June 30, 2015, and the economic interests of Fortress and AIG reduced to approximately 55% and 3%, respectively.

SHI’s net proceeds from this sale were approximately $976 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and additional offering-related expenses totaling $24$112 million. SHI intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, the proceeds from the sale of investment securities, and other funding options, to fund the Proposed Acquisition and/or for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repurchases and repayments, capital expenditures and other possible acquisitions.

See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the equity offering.SpringCastle Interests Sale.

SECURITIZATIONSONEMAIN ACQUISITION

DuringOn November 15, 2015, OMH completed its acquisition of OMFH for approximately $4.5 billion in cash. As a result of the first halfOneMain Acquisition, OMFH became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of OMH.

On November 12, 2015, we completed five securitizations, including two consumer loan securitizations, two auto loan conduit securitizations, and one personal loan conduit securitization. We also sold certain SpringCastle 2014-A Notes that were previously retained, extendedin connection with the revolving periods on two existing conduits, and amended an existing conduitclosing of the OneMain Acquisition, SFC’s wholly owned subsidiary, CSI, entered into the Independence Demand Note with Independence, whereby CSI provided Independence with $3.4 billion cash pursuant to remove the minimum balance requirement and reduceterms of the maximum principal balance.Independence Demand Note. See Note 119 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Independence Demand Note and other related party agreements with OMFH.

Although management intends for Springleaf and OneMain to become an integrated operation, the two operations will initially be separately maintained under the Springleaf and OneMain brands, with the expectation of migrating to the OneMain brand.

LENDMARK SALE

On November 12, 2015, the Branch Sellers entered into the Lendmark Sale. The Springleaf branches to be sold represent 15% of our branches and approximately $606 million, or 12%, of our personal loans held for investment and held for sale as of March 31, 2016.

On May 2, 2016, the Branch Sellers sold the Springleaf branches to Lendmark for an aggregate cash purchase price of $624 million. On this date, SFC used a portion of the proceeds from the Lendmark Sale to repay, in full, its revolving demand note with OMFH, which totaled $376 million (including interest payable of $6 million) on May 2, 2016. See Note 2 and Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these securitizations.

Subsequently, on July 15, 2015, we drew $100 million under the variable funding notes issued by Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Trust, an existing conduit.

CUSTOMER REWARDS PROGRAM

During the second quarter of 2015, Springleaf launched Springleaf Rewards, a unique digital loyalty program that rewards customers for a range of activities, such as consistently paying their bills on-time, interacting with the brand on social media and more. Unlike traditional rewards programs, Springleaf Rewards allows members to accrue points for doing things that help them establish and build their credit, for example taking credit education tutorials on line, monitoring their credit score, and paying on time. Springleaf Rewards members can choose how and when to redeem their points. Points can be exchanged for a variety of gift cards for nationwide retailers, restaurants and other merchants.Lendmark Sale.

OUTLOOK

Assuming the U.S. economy continues to experience slow to moderate growth, we expect to continue our long history of strong credit performance. 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 the following factors:

Slow but sustained economic growth.
Migrationmigration of customer activity from traditional channels, such as direct mail to online channels (served by our centralized operations), where we believe we are well suited to capture volume due to our scale, technology, and deployment of advanced analytics.

In addition, with an experienced management team, a strong balance sheet, proven access to the capital markets, and strong demand for consumer credit, we believe we are well positioned for future personal loan growth.

See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our consumer loan securitization transactions and borrowings under our conduit facilities.

Weighted average interest rate on our debt decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014March 31, 2016 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $3.3 billion during the past twelve months and the elimination of $3.4 billion of debt associated withadditional borrowings under our mortgage securitizations as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed certificates during 2014 and the resulting deconsolidation of the securitization trusts and their outstanding certificates reflected as long-term debt. These decreases were partially offset by debt issuances pursuant to our consumer securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.

Insurance revenues
Allowance requirements on our auto loan product decreased $3for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as we now have a full year of historical data reflected in the allowance model, in addition to using delinquency roll rates from a proxy hard-secured portfolio.

Net gain on sale of SpringCastle interests of $229 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to decreases in credit and non-credit earned premiums. The decrease in credit earned premiumsMarch 31, 2016 reflected the cancellations of dwelling policies as a result of the real estate loan sales during 2014. The decrease in non-credit earned premiums reflected fewer non-credit policies written.

Investment revenues increased $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to realized gains on available-for-sale securities resulting from the sales of certain investment securities during the second quarter of 2015.

Netnet gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflected the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for the real estate loans, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.

Salaries and benefits increased $16 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to non-cash incentive compensation expense of $15 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the rights of certain executives to a portion of the cash proceeds fromassociated with the sale of SHI’s common stock byour equity interest in the Initial Stockholder.SpringCastle Joint Venture.

Other operating expensesrevenues increased $17$32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 20142015 primarily due to servicing expenses for the SpringCastle Portfolio as a result of the SAC Capital Contribution on July 31, 2014. This increase also reflected higher advertising expenses primarily due to an increase in direct mailings to pre-approved customers, our increased focus on e-commerce and social media marketing, and our marketing efforts on our auto loan product during 2015. The increase in other operating expenses was partially offset by a $5 million reduction in reserves related to estimated PPI claims. See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the loss contingencies related to PPI claims.

Benefit from income taxes totaled $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to provision for income taxes of $33 million for the same period in 2014.

Average debt decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $3.3 billionIndependence Demand Note during the past twelve months2016 period and the elimination of $3.4 billion of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed certificates during 2014 and the resulting deconsolidation of the securitization trusts and their outstanding certificates reflected as long-term debt. These decreases were partially offset by net debt issuances pursuant to our consumer securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.

The weighted average interest rate on our debt increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the elimination of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations discussed above, which generally have lower interest rates. This increase was partially offset by the debt repurchases and repayments discussed above, which resulted in lower accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt.

SpringCastle interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflected the interest expense on long-term debt associated with the securitization of the SpringCastle Portfolio.

Provision for finance receivable losses decreased $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in the allowance requirements and net charge-offs on our real estate loans as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.6 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during 2014. This decrease was partially offset by the net charge-offs on the SpringCastle Portfolio during the 2015 period as a result of the SAC Capital Contribution on July 31, 2014 and higher net charge-offs on our personal loans primarily due to growth in our personal loans during the past twelve months and a higher personal loan delinquency ratio at June 30, 2015.

Insurance revenues decreased $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to decreases in credit and non-credit earned premiums. The decrease in credit earned premiums reflected the cancellations of dwelling policies as a result of the real estate loan sales during 2014. The decrease in non-credit earned premiums reflected fewer non-credit policies written.

Investment revenues increased $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to realized gains on available-for-sale securities resulting from the sales of certain investment securities during the first half of 2015.

Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflected repurchases of debt at net amounts greater than carrying value.

Net gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflected the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for the real estate loans, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.

Other revenues — other decreased $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to net charge-offs recognized on our finance receivables held for sale and provision adjustments for liquidated held for sale accounts during the first half of 2015. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest income on SFC’s note receivable from SFI reflecting additional SFI borrowings during the first half of 20152016 period to fund the operations of its subsidiaries.subsidiaries and (ii) decrease in investment revenues of $11 million primarily due to lower realized gains on the sale of investment securities and a decrease in invested assets.

Salaries and benefitsOther expenses increased $14$22 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 20142015 primarily due to non-cash incentive compensation expense of $15 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the rights of certain executives to a portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of SHI’s common stock by the Initial Stockholder. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the equity offering.following:

Other operating expenses
Salaries and benefits increased $39$17 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014March 31, 2016 primarily due to servicinghigher salary accruals resulting from an increase in the number of employees.


Other operating expenses increased $4 million for the SpringCastle Portfolio as a result of the SAC Capital Contribution on Julythree months ended March 31, 2014. This increase also reflected2016 primarily due to (i) higher advertising expenses primarily due to an increase inincreased focus on e-commerce and increased direct mailings to pre-approved customers our increased focus on e-commerce and social media marketing, and our marketing efforts on our auto loan product during 2015.(ii) higher information technology expenses. The increase in other operating expenses was partially offset by a $5$6 million reduction in reserves related to estimated PPIProperty Protection Insurance claims, which we believe will have minimal loss contingencies.

Provision for income taxes totaled $106 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $8 million for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 34.9% compared to 19.3% for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and lower subservicing fees2015 differed from the federal statutory rates primarily due to the effects of the non-controlling interest in the previously owned SpringCastle Portfolio. As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on March 31, 2016, the Company sold its equity interest in the SpringCastle Portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves and acquisition costs to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting. These allocations and adjustments have a material effect on our real estate loansreported segment basis income as a result of the real estate loan sales during 2014.compared to GAAP. See Note 1416 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information ona complete discussion of our segment accounting. We believe the loss contingencies related to PPI claims.Segment Accounting Basis (a basis other than U.S. GAAP) provides investors the basis for which management evaluates segment performance.

Provision for income taxes decreased $50 million forIn addition, management uses pretax core earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a key performance measure in evaluating the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 reflecting lower pretax income in the 2015 period primarily due to the net gain on sales of real estate loans recorded in the first half of 2014 and a decrease in our effective tax rate for the 2015 period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 9.8% compared to 38.3% for the same period in 2014. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effectperformance of our state income taxes.

Reconciliation of Income before Provision for Income Taxes on Push-Down Accounting Basis to Historical Accounting Basis

Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we revaluedCore Consumer Operations. Pretax core earnings represents 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. 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 before provision for income taxes on a push-down accounting basisSegment Accounting Basis and excludes results of operations from our Non-Core Portfolio (Real Estate segment) and other non-core, non-originating legacy operations, net gain on sale of SpringCastle interests related to Core Consumer Operations, losses resulting from accelerated long-term repayment and repurchases of long-term debt related to Core Consumer Operations, SpringCastle transaction costs, and results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests. Pretax core earnings provides us with a key measure of our Core Consumer Operations’ performance and assists us in comparing its performance on an alternative basis. Management believes pretax core earnings is useful in assessing the profitability of our core business and uses pretax core earnings in evaluating our operating performance. Pretax core earnings is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, (loss)net income, operating cash flow, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Segment Results

Management considers the Consumer and Insurance segment and Acquisitions and Servicing segment as our Core Consumer Operations and the Real Estate segment as our Non-Core Portfolio. Due to the natureAs a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we have applied push-downpurchase 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 priorSegment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves and acquisition costs to reflect the Fortress Acquisition,manner in which we referassess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting. These allocations and adjustments have a material effect on our reported segment basis income as compared to as “historical accountingGAAP. We believe a Segment Accounting Basis (a 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 ofinvestors the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry.

See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for reconciliations of segment totals to condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.amounts and for further discussion of the differences in our Segment Accounting Basis and GAAP.


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

Interest incomeDirectly correlated with a specific segment.
Interest expenseDisaggregated into three categories
Acquisition and Servicing - This segment includes interest expense specifically identified to the SpringCastle Portfolio.
Consumer and Insurance, Real Estate and Other - The Company has securitization debt and unsecured debt. The Company first allocates interest expense to its segments based on actual expense for securitizations and secured term debt and using a weighted average for unsecured debt allocated to the underlyingsegments. Average unsecured debt thatallocations for the expense pertains to:periods presented are as follows:
Subsequent to the OneMain Acquisition
Total average unsecured debt is allocated as follows:
l securitizations Consumer and Insurance — allocated to the segments whose finance receivables serve as the collateral securing each- receives remainder of the respective debt instruments;unallocated average debt; and
l  Real Estate and Other - at 100% of asset base. (Asset base represents the average net finance receivables including finance receivables held for sale.)
The net effect of the change in debt allocation and asset base methodologies for the three months ended March 31, 2015 had it been in place as of the beginning of the year would be an increase in interest expense of $54 million for Consumer and Insurance and a decrease in interest expense of $45 million and $9 million for Real Estate and Other, respectively.
For the period third quarter 2014 to the OneMain Acquisition
Total average unsecured debt — is allocated to Consumer and Insurance, Real Estate and Other, such that the segments based on expected leveragetotal debt allocated across each segment equals 83%, up to 100% and 100% of each of its respective asset base. Any excess is allocated to Consumer and Insurance.
Average unsecured debt is allocated after average securitized debt to achieve the calculated average segment debt.
Asset base represents the following:
l  Consumer and Insurance - average net finance receivables including average net finance receivables held for that segment or the balance of unencumbered assetssale;
l  Real Estate - average net finance receivables including average net finance receivables held for sale, cash and cash equivalents, investments including proceeds from sale of receivables in that segment;Real Estate sales; and
l  secured term loanOther — allocated to the segments whose- average net finance receivables served asother than the collateral securing each of the respective debt instruments.period listed below:
l February 2015 to April 2015 - average net finance receivables and cash and cash equivalents less operating cash reserve and cash included in other segments.
Provision for finance receivable lossesDirectly correlated with a specific segment, except for allocations to “other,”Other, which are based on the remaining delinquent accounts as a percentage of total delinquent accounts.
Insurance revenuesDirectly correlated with a specific segment.
Investment revenuesDirectly correlated with a specific segment.
Net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debtAllocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt.

Reconciliation of Income (Loss) before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes on Historical Accounting Basis to Pretax Core Earnings

Pretax core earnings is a key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of our Core Consumer Operations. Pretax core earnings represents our income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a historical accounting basis and excludes results of operations from our non-core portfolio (Real Estate) and other non-originating legacy operations, gains (losses) resulting from accelerated long-term debt repayment and repurchases of long-term debt related to Core Consumer Operations (attributable to SFC), and results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests. Pretax core earnings provides us with a key measure of our Core Consumer Operations’ performance as it assists us in comparing its performance on a consistent basis. Management believes pretax core earnings is useful in assessing the profitability of our core business and uses pretax core earnings in evaluating our operating performance. Pretax core earnings is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net income, operating cash flow, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The increase in yield for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflected a higher proportion of our remaining real estate loans that are secured by second mortgages, which generally have higher yields. The increase in yield also reflected a higher proportion of non-modified real estate loans during the 2015 period, which generally have higher rates than TDR finance receivables.

Interest expense decreased $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates during 2014 and the resulting deconsolidation of the securitization trusts and their outstanding certificates reflected as long-term debt. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by higher interest expense on unsecured debt, which was allocated based on a higher cash balance resulting from the proceeds from the real estate sales in 2014.

Provision for finance receivable losses decreased $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in provision for finance receivable losses reflected reductions in net charge-offs and the allowance requirements on our real estate loans recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $7.1 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during 2014.

Interest expense increased $20 million and $28 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to higher interest expense on unsecured debt, which was allocated based on a higher cash balance resulting from the proceeds from the real estate sales in 2014.

Salaries and benefits increased $13 million and $11 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014. In connection with the sale of our common stock by the Initial Stockholder, we recorded non-cash incentive compensation expense of $15 million in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the rights of certain executives to a portion of the cash proceeds received by the Initial Stockholder. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding SHI’s equity offering.

Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 reflected a $5 million reduction in reserves related to estimated PPI claims. See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the loss contingencies related to PPI claims.

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 (less creditworthy) 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.

Carrying valueWe may offer borrowers the opportunity to defer their personal loan by extending the date on which any payment is due. We may require a partial payment prior to granting such a deferral. Deferments must bring the account contractually current or due for the current month’s payment. Borrowers are generally limited to two deferments in a rolling 12-month period unless it is determined that an exception is warranted.

In addition to deferrals, we may also offer borrowers the opportunity to cure delinquent accounts when a customer demonstrates that he or she has rehabilitated from a temporary event that caused the delinquency. An account may be brought to current status after the cause for delinquency has been identified and remediated and the customer has made two consecutive

qualified payments; however, no principal or interest amounts are forgiven or credited. Independent risk management approval is required for all cures.

When a loan is 60 days past due, we transfer the loan to one of finance receivablesour centralized service centers for account servicing and collection processing. This process includes accrued finance charges, unamortized deferred origination costsassessing previous collection efforts, contacting the customer to determine whether the customer’s financial problems are temporary, reviewing the collateral securing the loan and unamortized net premiumsdeveloping a plan to maintain contact with the customer to increase the likelihood of future payments. Certain non-routine collection activities may include litigation, repossession of collateral, or filing involuntary bankruptcy petitions.

We may renew a delinquent personal loan if the related borrower meets current underwriting criteria and discounts on purchased finance receivables.we determine that it does not appear that the cause of past delinquency will affect the customer’s ability to repay the new personal loan. We recordemploy the same credit risk underwriting process that we would use for an allowance forapplication from a new customer to determine whether to grant a renewal of a personal loan, losses to cover expected losses on our finance receivables.regardless of whether the borrower’s account is current or delinquent.

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. WeAlthough we engage in collection activities well before an account is 60 days past due, we consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time. We record an allowance for loan losses to cover expected losses on our finance receivables.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING

We make modifications to our finance receivables to assist borrowers during times of financial difficulties. When we modify a 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    

SOURCES OF FUNDS

We finance the majority of our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitization debt, and unsecured debt. In the future, we plan to finance our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flowsborrowings from operations, securitization debt,conduit facilities, unsecured debt and equity, and may also utilize other corporate debt facilities.

facilities in the future. As a holding company, all of the funds generated from our operations are earned by our operating subsidiaries.

SFC’s Offering of Senior Notes

On April 11, 2016, SFC issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 under the Indenture, pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the notes on an unsecured basis. SFC used a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repurchase approximately $600 million aggregate principal amount of its existing senior notes that mature in 2017. See Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this offering.

Securitizations and Borrowings from Revolving Conduit Facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we (i) exercised our right to redeem the asset backed notes issued by the Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-B and (ii) deconsolidated the previously issued securitized interests of the SpringCastle Funding Asset-backed Notes 2014-A. See “Structured Financings” for further information on each of our securitization transactions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we (i) extended the revolving periods on four existing conduits and (ii) amended three existing conduits to change the maximum principal balances. Net repayments under the notes of our existing conduits totaled $103 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our personal loan securitizations and conduit facilities.

Subsequent to March 31, 2016, we completed the following transactions:

On April 1, 2016, we drew $100 million under the variable funding notes issued by the Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Trust.

On April 12, 2016, we repaid the entire $100 million outstanding principal balance of the variable funding notes issued by the Mill River 2015-VFN1 Trust.

On April 14, 2016, we repaid $248 million of the outstanding principal balance of the variable funding notes issued by the Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Trust.

On May 3, 2016, we repaid the entire $150 million outstanding principal balance of the variable funding notes issued by the Springleaf 2013-VFN1 Trust.

USES OF FUNDS

Our operating subsidiaries’ primary cash needs relate to funding our lending activities, our debt service obligations, our operating expenses, payment of insurance claims 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 $72 million as of June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $2.5 billion$365 million of cash and cash equivalents, and during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, SFC generated net income of $5$172 million. Our net cash inflow from operating and investing activities totaled $529$302 millionfor the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. At June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our remaining scheduled principal and interest payments for 20152016 on our existing debt (excluding securitizations)securitizations and borrowings under revolving conduit facilities) totaled $0.9 billion.$647 million. As of June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $1.2$1.4 billion UPB of unencumbered personal loans (including $604 million held for sale) and $619$775 million UPB of unencumbered real estate loans.loans (including $232 million held for sale).

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 twelve12 months.

We have previously purchased portions of our unsecured indebtedness, and we may elect to purchase additional portions of our unsecured indebtedness in the future. Future purchases may be made through the open market, privately negotiated transactions with third parties, or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers, all of which are subject to terms, prices, and consideration we may determine.

Liquidity Risks and Strategies

SFC’s credit ratings are non-investment grade, which have a significant impact on our cost of, and access to, capital. This, in turn, can negatively affect our ability to manage our liquidity and our ability or cost to refinance our indebtedness.


72

Table of Contents

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 or maintain our personal loan portfolio with adequate profitability;
the effect of federal, state and local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices;
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 the debt and equity markets.

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:

maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and pricing for loans we originate or purchase and managing purchases of finance receivables;
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 annually pay as dividends without prior notice to the Indiana Department of Insurance (the “DOI”“Indiana DOI”). The maximum amount of dividends (referred to as “ordinary dividends”) for an Indiana domiciled life insurance company that can be paid without prior DOI approval in any 12 montha 12-month period (measured retrospectively from the date of last payment) is the greater of: (1)(i) 10% of policyholders’ surplus as of the prior year-end; or (2)(ii) the statutory net gain from operations as of the prior year-end. Any amount greater amount must be approved by the Indiana DOI prior to its payment. The maximum ordinary dividends for an Indiana domiciled property and casualty insurance company that can be paid without prior approval in a 12-month period (measured retrospectively from the date of payment) is the greater of: (i) 10% of policyholders’ surplus as of the prior year-end; or (ii) the statutory net income. Any amount greater must be approved by the Indiana DOI prior to its payment. These approved dividends are called “extraordinary dividends”.dividends.” Merit and Yosemite each paid $50 million of extraordinarydid not pay any dividends to SFC during the secondfirst quarter of 2015.2016.

OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS

8.25% SFC Notes. On April 11, 2016, OMH entered into an Indenture and Second Supplemental Indenture, pursuant to which it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on $1.0 billion of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 issued by SFC. See Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

5.25% SFC Notes. On December 3, 2014, OMH entered into an Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture, pursuant to which it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on $700 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2019 issued by SFC (the “5.25% SFC Notes”). As of March 31, 2016, $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% SFC Notes were outstanding.

SFC Notes. On December 30, 2013, OMH entered into Guaranty Agreements whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payments of principal, premium (if any), and interest on approximately $5.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes on a senior basis and $350 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture on a junior subordinated basis issued by SFC (collectively, the “SFC Notes”). The SFC Notes consisted of the following: 8.25% Senior

Notes due 2023; 7.75% Senior Notes due 2021; 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020; a 60-year junior subordinated debenture; and all senior notes outstanding on December 30, 2013, issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 (the “1999 Indenture”), between SFC and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the successor trustee to Citibank N.A.). The 60-year junior subordinated debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. On December 30, 2013, OMH entered into a Trust Guaranty Agreement whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the related payment obligations under the trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $4.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the SFC Notes, including $2.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes under the 1999 Indenture, and $350 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture were outstanding.

The debt agreements to which SFC and its subsidiaries are a party include customary terms and conditions, including covenants and representations and warranties. Some or all of these agreements also contain certain restrictions, including (i) restrictions on the ability to create senior liens on property and assets in connection with any new debt financings and (ii) SFC’s ability to sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets, unless the transferee assumes SFC’s obligations under the applicable debt agreement. In addition, the OMH guarantees of SFC’s long-term debt discussed above are subject to customary release provisions.

With the exception of SFC’s junior subordinated debenture, none of our debt agreements require SFC or any of its subsidiaries to meet or maintain any specific financial targets or ratios.

Under our debt agreements, However, 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 June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements. Additionally, SHI guarantees the payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on certain senior notes and the junior subordinated debt of SFC. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information on these guaranty agreements.

Junior Subordinated Debenture

Junior Subordinated Debenture.In January of 2007, SFC issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debenture (the “debenture”) under an indenture dated January 22, 2007 (the “Junior Subordinated Indenture”), by and between SFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, as trustee. The debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. SFC can redeem the debenture at par beginning in January of 2017.

Pursuant to the terms of the debenture, SFC, upon the occurrence of a mandatory trigger event, is required to defer interest payments to the holders of the debenture (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 debenture otherwise payable on the next interest payment date and pays such amount to the holders of the debenture. A mandatory trigger event occurs if SFC’s (1)(i) tangible equity to tangible managed assets is less than 5.5% or (2)(ii) 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 twelve12 months ended March 31, 2015,2016, a mandatory trigger event did not occur with respect to the interest payment due in July of 20152016, as we were in compliance with both required ratios discussed above.

TableSee “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources of ContentsFunds - Securitizations and Borrowings from Revolving Conduit Facilities” for securitization and conduit transactions completed subsequent to March 31, 2016.


Our 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 basisSegment Accounting Basis were as follows:
  Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
 2015 2014 2015 2014
         
Weighted average interest rate 5.41% 5.25% 5.44% 5.37%
  Three Months Ended March 31,

Weighted average interest rate 5.26% 5.47%

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 June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2014,2015, other than certain representations and warranties associated with the sales of the mortgage-backed retained certificates during 2014. As of June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had no repurchase activity related to these sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates    

We describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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; 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the models and assumptions used to assess the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses and Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for period-to-period changes in the components of our allowance for finance receivable losses.

There have been no significantmaterial changes to our critical accounting policies or to our methodologies for deriving critical accounting estimates during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements    

See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Seasonality    

Our personal loan volume is generally highest during the second and fourth quarters of the year, primarily due to marketing efforts, seasonality of demand, and increased traffic in branches after the winter months. Demand for our personal loans is usually lower in January and February after the holiday season and as a result of tax refunds. Delinquencies on our personal loans are generally lowest in the first quarter and tend to rise throughout the remainder of the year. TheThese seasonal trends in personal loan volume and delinquencies contribute to fluctuations in our operating results and cash needs throughout the year.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are committed to maintaining disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information we are required to be discloseddisclose in our periodic reports filedthat we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

UnderAs of December 31, 2015, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.Officer. Based on thisour evaluation, and in light of the previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, described in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015.

We have taken and continueDecember 31, 2015 to take steps to remediateprovide the underlying cause of the material weakness. These steps include strengthening our procedures and controls around validating the functionality of certain spreadsheets and reports used in the preparation and analysis of accounting and financial information, including developing specific guidelines for appropriate review procedures, such as validating inputs, assumptions and formulas, and providing additional training to our current accounting and finance personnel.

These actions are subject to ongoing review by our senior management, as well as oversight by the audit committee of our board of directors. We are placing a high priority on the remediation process and are committed to allocating the necessary resources to the remediation effort. To reduce the potential severity of the deficiency as soon as possible, we are focusing our initial efforts on those spreadsheets and reports that present a higher risk of a misstatement. When fully implemented and operating effectively, our efforts are expected to remediate the material weakness. However, we cannot provide anyreasonable assurance that these efforts will be successful or that they will cause our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting to be effective.described above.
