SPRINGLEAF FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2016March 31, 2017

1. Business and Basis of Presentation    

Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”is referred to in this report as “SFC” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)“our.” SFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”).SFI. SFI is a wholly owned subsidiary of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (“OMH”).OMH.

At June 30, 2016, Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”)March 31, 2017, the Initial Stockholder owned approximately 58%57% of OMH’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”).Fortress.

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 (“GAAP”).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 GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SFC, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain subsidiaries associated with a joint venturethe SpringCastle Joint Venture, in which we owned a 47% equity interest prior to March 31, 2016), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”)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 20162017 presentation, we have reclassified certain items in prior periods, including certain items in prior periods of our condensed consolidated financial statements. TheseAlso, to conform to the new alignment of our segments, as further discussed in Note 16, we have revised our prior period segment disclosures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).10-K. We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting, except for the change in accounting policy discussed below.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective April 1, 2016, we changed our accounting policy for the derecognition of loans within a purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) pool. Historically, we removed loans from a PCI pool upon charge-off of the loan, based on the Company’s charge-off accounting policy at their allocated carrying value. Under our new accounting policy, loans will be removed from a PCI pool when the loan is written-off, at which time further collections efforts would not be pursued, or sold or repaid. While both methods are acceptable under GAAP, we believe the new method for derecognition of PCI loans is preferable as it enhances consistency with our industry peers. As of April 1, 2016, the cumulative effect of applying the change in accounting policy increased shareholder’s equity by $6 million.

Our policy for derecognition of PCI loans following the change described above is presented below:

Purchased Credit Impaired Finance Receivables

As part of each of our acquisitions, we identify a population of finance receivables for which it is determined that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. The population of accounts identified generally consists of those finance receivables that are (i) 60 days or more past due at acquisition, (ii) which had been classified as troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) finance receivables as of the acquisition date, (iii) may have been previously modified, or (iv) had other indications of credit deterioration as of the acquisition date.

We accrete the excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on the purchased credit impaired finance receivables over the discounted cash flows (the “accretable yield”) into interest income at a level rate of return over the expected lives of the underlying pools of the purchased credit impaired finance receivables. The underlying pools are based on finance receivables with common risk characteristics. We have established policies and procedures to periodically (at least once a quarter) update

the amount of cash flows we expect to collect, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of then current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected finance receivable cash flows result in the recognition of impairment, which is recognized through the provision for finance receivable losses. Probable significant increases in expected cash flows to be collected would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for finance receivable losses; any remaining increases are recognized prospectively as adjustments to the respective pool’s yield.

Our purchased credit impaired finance receivables remain in our purchased credit impaired pools until liquidation or write-off. We do not reclassify modified purchased credit impaired finance receivables as TDR finance receivables.

We have additionally established policies and procedures related to maintaining the integrity of these pools. A finance receivable will not be removed from a pool unless we sell, foreclose, or otherwise receive assets in satisfaction of a particular finance receivable or a finance receivable is written-off. If a finance receivable is renewed and additional funds are lent and terms are adjusted to current market conditions, we consider this a new finance receivable and the previous finance receivable is removed from the pool. If the facts and circumstances indicate that a finance receivable should be removed from a pool, that finance receivable will be removed at its allocated carrying amount. Removal of the finance receivable from a pool does not affect the yield used to recognize accretable yield of the pool.

We have retrospectively applied this change in accounting policy. The effect of this change in accounting policy on income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes and net income (loss) attributable to SFC, and the cumulative effect of this change in accounting policy on shareholder’s equity attributable to SFC for the following prior periods are included in the table below.

2. Significant Transactions    

OMH’S ACQUISITION OF ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC

On November 15, 2015, OMH, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Independence Holdings, LLC (“Independence”), completed its acquisition of OneMain Financial Holdings, LLC (“OMFH”) from CitiFinancial Credit Company (“Citigroup”) for approximately $4.5 billion in cash (the “OneMain Acquisition”). As a result of the OneMain Acquisition, OMFH became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of OMH. OMFH is not a subsidiary of SFC and SFC is not a subsidiary of OMFH.

In connection with the closing of the OneMain Acquisition, on November 13, 2015, OMH and certain subsidiaries of SFC entered into an Asset Preservation Stipulation and Order and agreed to a Proposed Final Judgment (collectively, the “Settlement Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), as well as the state attorneys general for Colorado, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. The Settlement Agreement resolved the inquiries of the DOJ and such attorneys general with respect to the OneMain Acquisition and allowed OMH to proceed with the closing. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, OMH agreed to divest 127 branches of SFC subsidiaries across 11 states as a condition for approval of the OneMain Acquisition. The Settlement Agreement required certain of OMH’s subsidiaries (the “Branch Sellers”) to operate these 127 branches as an ongoing, economically viable and competitive business until sold to the divestiture purchaser. The court overseeing the settlement appointed a third-party monitor to oversee management of the divestiture branches and ensure the Company’s compliance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

SPRINGCASTLE INTERESTS SALE

On March 31, 2016, SFI, SpringCastle Holdings, LLC (“SpringCastle Holdings”) and Springleaf Acquisition Corporation (“Springleaf Acquisition” and, together with SpringCastle Holdings, the “SpringCastle Sellers”), wholly owned subsidiaries of OMH, entered into a purchase agreement with certain subsidiaries of New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ” and such subsidiaries, the “NRZ Buyers”) and BTO Willow Holdings II, L.P. and Blackstone Family Tactical Opportunities Investment Partnership—NQ—ESC L.P. (collectively, the “Blackstone Buyers” and together with the NRZ Buyers, the “SpringCastle Buyers”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, on March 31, 2016, SpringCastle Holdings sold its 47% limited liability company interest in each of SpringCastle America, LLC, SpringCastle Credit, LLC and SpringCastle Finance, LLC, and Springleaf Acquisition sold its 47% limited liability company interest in SpringCastle Acquisition LLC, to the SpringCastle Buyers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $112 million (the “SpringCastle Interests Sale”). SpringCastle America, LLC, SpringCastle Credit, LLC, SpringCastle Finance, LLC and SpringCastle Acquisition LLC are collectively referred to herein as the “SpringCastle Joint Venture.”

The SpringCastle Joint Venture primarily holds subordinate ownership interests in a securitized loan portfolio (the “SpringCastle Portfolio”), which consists of unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages and includes both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in form and substance from the Company’s originated loans. At December 31, 2015, the SpringCastle Portfolio included over 232,000 of acquired loans, representing $1.7 billion in net finance receivables.

In connection with the SpringCastle Interests Sale, the SpringCastle Buyers paid $101 million of the aggregate purchase price to the SpringCastle Sellers on March 31, 2016, with the remaining $11 million to be paid into an escrow account within 120 days following March 31, 2016. Such escrowed funds are expected to be held in escrow for a period of up to five years following March 31, 2016, and, subject to the terms of the purchase agreement and assuming certain portfolio performance requirements are satisfied, paid to the SpringCastle Sellers at the end of such five-year period. In connection with the SpringCastle Interests Sale, we recorded a net gain in other revenues at the time of sale of $167 million.

As a result of this sale, SpringCastle Acquisition and SpringCastle Holdings no longer hold any ownership interests of the SpringCastle Joint Venture. However, unless terminated, SFI will remain as servicer of the SpringCastle Portfolio under the existing servicing agreement for the SpringCastle Funding Trust. In addition, we deconsolidated the underlying loans of the SpringCastle Portfolio and previously issued securitized interests, which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.

Prior to the SpringCastle Interests Sale, affiliates of the NRZ Buyers owned a 30% limited liability company interest in the SpringCastle Joint Venture, and affiliates of the Blackstone Buyers owned a 23% limited liability company interest in the SpringCastle Joint Venture (together, the “Other Members”). The Other Members are parties to the purchase agreement for purposes of certain limited indemnification obligations and post-closing expense reimbursement obligations of the SpringCastle Joint Venture to the SpringCastle Sellers.


The NRZ Buyers are subsidiaries of NRZ, which is externally managed by an affiliate of Fortress. The Initial Stockholder, which owned approximately 58% of OMH’s common stock as of March 31, 2016, the date of sale, was owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress. Mr. Edens, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OMH, also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of NRZ. Mr. Edens is also a principal of Fortress and serves as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fortress. Mr. Jacobs, a member of the Board of Directors of OMH, also serves as a member of NRZ’s Board of Directors and Fortress’ Board of Directors.

The purchase agreement included customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. We did not record a sales recourse obligation related to the SpringCastle Interests Sale.

SFC’S OFFERING OF 8.25% SENIOR NOTES

On April 11, 2016, SFC issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “8.25% SFC Notes”) 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 new SFC senior 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 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 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 were to 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 November 12, 2015, OMH and the Branch Sellers entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Lendmark Financial Services, LLC (“Lendmark”) to sell 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 (the “Lendmark Sale”) for a purchase price equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate unpaid balance as of closing of the purchased loans multiplied by 103%, plus (ii) for each interest-bearing purchased loan, an amount equal to all unpaid interest that has accrued on the unpaid balance at the applicable note rate from the most recent interest payment date through the closing, plus (iii) the sum of all prepaid charges and fees and security deposits of the Branch Sellers to the extent arising under the purchased contracts as reflected on the books and records of the Branch Sellers as of closing, subject to certain limitations if the purchase price would exceed $695 million and Lendmark would be unable to obtain financing on certain specified terms. In anticipation of the sale of these branches, we transferred $608 million of personal loans from held for investment to held for sale on September 30, 2015.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we were required to dispose of the branches to be sold in connection with the Lendmark Sale within 120 days following November 13, 2015, subject to such extensions as the DOJ may approve. As we did not believe we would be able to consummate the Lendmark Sale prior to April 1, 2016, we requested two extensions of the closing deadline set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The DOJ granted our requests through May 13, 2016.

On May 2, 2016, we completed the Lendmark Sale 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 (“UPB”) as of March 31, 2016 of $600 million. OMH has entered into a transition services agreement with Lendmark dated as of May 2, 2016 (the “Transition Services Agreement”), and OMH’s and our activities will remain subject to the oversight of the Monitoring Trustee appointed by the court pursuant to the Settlement Agreement until the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement. The Transition Services Agreement is currently scheduled to expire on November 2, 2016, subject to up to two

additional three-month extensions with the permission of the DOJ. Although we and OMH continue to take such steps as we believe are necessary to comply with the terms of the 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 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).reporting.

The ASU requires that an entity that has available-for-sale securities recognize, through earnings, the VIE guidance. Thisunrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method of accounting. The amendment in this ASU is applicable to entities across all industries, particularly those that use limited partnerships as well as entities in any industry that outsource decision making or have historically applied related party tiebreakers in their consolidation analysis and disclosures. The standard became effective prospectively for public business entities for fiscal years,annual periods, and for interim periods within those fiscal years,annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. 2016.We have adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and concluded that it does not have a material effectan impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

In November of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, which simplifies the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows by requiring entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents. The amendments in this ASU become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have elected to early adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and presented this change on a retrospective basis for all periods presented.

Debt Instruments

In March of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Contingent Puts and Call Options in Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt host. The ASU requires assessing the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED

Revenue Recognition

In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. In August of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, which would result in the ASU becoming effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. In March of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation of the guidance on principal versus agent considerations from ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.2014-09. ASU 2016-08 does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2014-09, but rather clarifies the distinction between principal versus agent considerations when implementing ASU 2014-09. In April of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify the implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09 relating to performance obligations and licensing. In May of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to clarify guidance in ASU 2014-09 related to assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts/contract modifications. In December of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, which improves the guidance specific to the amendments in ASU 2014-09. We are evaluating whetherbelieve that the adoption of these accounting pronouncementsthis ASU will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Short-Duration Insurance Contracts Disclosures

In Maystatements, and we are in the process of 2015,quantifying 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 become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements.expected impact.

Financial Instruments

In January of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments. 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 a valuation 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. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium from the adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument to the earliest call date. The amendments in this ASU become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU will requirerequires lessees to recognize assetsa right-to-use asset and liabilitiesa liability for the obligation to make payments 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 in this ASU become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating whetherbelieve that the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.statements, and we are in the process of quantifying the expected impact.

Investments

In March of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. 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 are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect 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 basis for accounting in tax benefits recognized, retrospectively for accounting related to the presentation of employee taxes paid, prospectively for accounting related to recognition of excess tax benefits, and either prospectively or retrospectively 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 are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging

In May of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), to rescind certain Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC guidance in Topic 605 and Topic 815 as ASU 2014-09

becomes effective. Our adoption of ASU 2014-09 will bring us into alignment with this ASU. We are evaluating whetherbelieve that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Finance Receivables Losses

In June of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326):Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU significantly changes the way that entities will be required to measure credit losses. The new standard requires that the estimated credit loss be based upon an “expected credit loss” approach rather than the “incurred loss” approach currently required. The new approach will require entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of collectability. It is anticipated that the expected credit loss model will require earlier recognition of credit losses than the incurred loss approach.

The ASU requires that credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price of the financial asset rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in earnings. Interest income should be recognized based on the effective rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price attributable to expected credit losses at acquisition.

The ASU also requires companies to record allowances for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities rather than write-downs of such assets.

In addition, the ASU requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the allowance and the significant factors that influenced management’s estimate of the allowance.

The ASU will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. We believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and we are in the process of quantifying the expected impacts.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In October of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes, which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

In January of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations, to clarify the definition of a business, which establishes a process to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities can be deemed a business combination. The amendments in this ASU become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Compensation and Benefits

In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, to improve the presentation of the net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. It requires that a company present separately the service cost component on the income statement. The amendments in this ASU become effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. We are evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not believe that any other accounting pronouncements issued during the first half of 2016,three months ended March 31, 2017, but not yet effective, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures, if adopted.

4.3. Finance Receivables    

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

Personal loans — are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, typically non-revolving with a fixed-rate and a fixed, original term of twothree to five years. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had nearly 923,000over 893,000 personal loans representing $4.7 billion of net finance receivables, compared to 890,000928,000 personal loans totaling $4.3$4.8 billion at December 31, 2015.2016.

Real estate loans — are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, generally have maximum original terms of 360 months, and are considered non-conforming. Real estate loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are primarily fixed-rate products. Since we ceased originating real estate lendingloans in January of 2012, our real estate loans arehave been in a liquidating status.

Retail sales finance — include retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. Retail sales contracts are closed-end accounts that represent a single purchase transaction. Revolving retail accounts are open-end accounts that can be used for financing repeated purchases from the same merchant. Retail sales contracts are secured by the personal property designated in the contract and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months. Revolving retail accounts are secured by the goods purchased and generally require minimum monthly payments based on the amount financed calculated after the most recent purchase or outstanding balances. Our retail sales finance portfolio is in a liquidating status.


Our finance receivable types also included the SpringCastle Portfolio at December 31, 2015, as defined below:

SpringCastle Portfolio — included unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages that were sold on March 31, 2016, in connection with the SpringCastle Interests Sale. The SpringCastle Portfolio included both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans were in a liquidating status and varied 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.

We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. When finance receivables are 60 days past due, we consider them delinquent and transfer collections management of these accounts to our centralized operations, as these accounts are considered to be at increased risk for loss. At 90 days or more past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming.

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

On a lot basis, we had 187 and 217 investment securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 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 June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had 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 three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment credit losses on our available-for-sale securities in investment revenues.

11.10. Variable Interest Entities    

CONSOLIDATED VIES

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 asset-backed financing transactions, including securitization and conduit transactions. SinceWe have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these transactions involve securitization trusts required to be consolidated,VIEs and, as a result, we include each VIE’s assets, including any finance receivables securing the securitized assetsVIE’s debt obligations, and related liabilities are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and each VIE’s asset-backed debt obligations are accounted for as secured borrowings.

CONSOLIDATED VIES

We evaluated the securitization trusts and determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, and therefore, we consolidated such entities. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiariesbeneficiary of these VIEseach VIE because we have the ability to direct the activities of eachthe VIE that most significantly impact the entity’sits economic performance, including the losses it absorbs and the obligation to absorb losses and theits right to receive economic benefits that are potentially significant to each VIE.significant. Such ability arises from SFC’s and its affiliates’ contractual right to service the securitized finance receivables. Our retainedreceivables securing the VIEs’ debt obligations. To the extent we retain any subordinated note anddebt obligation or residual interest trust certificates expose usin an asset-backed financing facility, we are exposed to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.

The asset-backed securitiesdebt obligations issued by the securitization trustsVIEs are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying securitized finance receivables.receivables securing such debt obligations. Cash inflows from these finance receivables are distributed to investorsrepay the debt obligations and related service providers in accordance with each transaction’s contractual priority of payments, (“waterfall”) and,referred to 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 “waterfall.” The holders of the asset-backed securitiesdebt obligations have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying qualified securitized assetsfinance receivables securing such debt obligations are not sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the asset-backed securities. After these seniordebt obligations. With respect to any asset-backed financing transaction that has multiple classes of debt obligations, are extinguished, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated notessenior debt obligations until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest that we own in each securitization trust.subordinate debt obligations on a sequential basis. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including residual interests in each securitization trustan interest and in some cases, subordinated securities issued by the VIEs. We retain credit risk in the securitizationsthese financing transactions through our ownership of the residual interest in each securitization trust,VIE and, in some cases, ownership of the most subordinatedsubordinate class of asset-backed securities,debt obligations issued by the VIE, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets.finance receivables securing the debt obligations.

We have no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assetsfinance receivables 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.

13. Income Taxes    

At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had a net deferred tax liability of $129$37 million, compared to $113$42 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The increasedecrease in net deferred tax liability of $16$5 million was primarily due to the impact of the SpringCastle Interests Sale,tax accounting method change, partially offset by changes in the fair value of our finance receivables and purchase accounting for debt writedown.receivables.

The effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was 34.0%37.6%, compared to 10.7%34.1% for the same period in 2015.2016. The effective tax ratesrate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015March 31, 2017 differed from the federal statutory ratesrate primarily due to the effectseffect of state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interests in the previously owned SpringCastle Portfolio.

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

The Company’sOur gross unrecognized tax positions,benefits, including related interest and penalties, totaled $10 million and $9$11 million at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively, all of which would affect the effective2016. We accrue interest related to uncertain tax rate if recognized.positions in income tax expense. The amount of any change in the balance of uncertain tax positionsliabilities 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 haswe have been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation arising in connection with itsour 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 certainevaluate legal actions where we believeto determine whether a material loss to beis reasonably possible or probable and is reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that we have not yet been notified ofpending, threatened or are not yet determined to be probablefuture litigation, investigations, examinations, or reasonably possible and reasonably estimable.other claims.

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

At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our reserve for sales recourse obligations totaled $15$14 million, which primarily related to theour real estate loan sales in 2014.2014, with a minimal portion of the reserve related to net charge-off sales of our finance receivables. We did not establish any additional reserves for sales recourse obligations associated with the personal loans sold in the Lendmark Sale or our real estate loan sales in 2016 based on the credit quality of the loans sold and the terms of each transaction. During the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no repurchase activity related to these sales and no material activity related to our real estate loan sales in 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we repurchased 13 loans, totaling $1 million, associated with the real estate loan sales in 2014. recourse obligations.

At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, there were no material recourserepurchase requests with loss exposure that management believes willbelieved would 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 primarily associated with the real estate loan sales during 2014 was as follows:

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 When 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.

16. Segment Information    

Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our threetwo segments include:included:

Consumer and Insurance — We originate and service personal loans (secured and unsecured) through two business divisions:our branch operationsnetwork and our centralized operations andoperations. We also offer credit insurance (life insurance, disability insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection. Branch operations primarily conductauto membership plans provided by a third party. Our branch network conducts business in 28 states. Our centralized operations underwrite and process certain loan applications that we receive from our branch operationsnetwork or through an internet portal. If the applicant is “in footprint,” 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 “out of footprint,” not located near a branch, (“out of footprint”), our centralized operations originate the loan.

Acquisitions and Servicing — SFI services the SpringCastle Portfolio that was acquired by an indirect subsidiary of OMH through a joint venture in which SFC owned a 47% equity interest.the SpringCastle Joint Venture. On March 31, 2016, the SpringCastle Portfolio was 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 and include both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans. Unless SFI is terminated, SFI will continue to provide the servicing for these loans pursuant to a servicing agreement, which we serviceSFI services as unsecured loans because the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests.

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-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our three segments. These operations include:include (i) our legacy operations in 14 states where we had also ceased branch-based personal lending;liquidating real estate loan portfolio as discussed below, (ii) our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including retail sales finance accounts from itsour legacy auto finance operation);, and (iii) our lending operationsshort equity personal loans that we are no longer originating.

Beginning in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands; and (iv) the operations2017, management no longer views or manages our real estate assets as a separate operating segment. Therefore, we are now including Real Estate, which was previously presented as a distinct reporting segment, in “Other.” To conform to this new alignment of our United Kingdom subsidiary.segments, we have revised our prior period segment disclosures.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements of our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as described below.


Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied purchase accounting. However, we report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, Real Estate, and Other using a “Segmentthe Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense and 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 currently have a material effectaccounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our reported segment basis incomefinance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as compared to GAAP. We believe a Segment Accounting Basis (a basis other than GAAP) provides investors a consistent basis for which management evaluates segment performance.

well as the amortization/accretion in future periods).

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

Interest incomeDirectly correlated with a specific segment.
Interest expense
AcquisitionAcquisitions 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 June 30, 2015 had it been in place as of the beginning of the year would be an increase in interest expense of $66 million for Consumer and Insurance and a decrease in interest expense of $45 million and $21 million for Real Estate and Other, respectively.
The net effect of the change in debt allocation and asset base methodologies for the six months ended June 30, 2015 had it been in place as of the beginning of the year would be an increase in interest expense of $120 million for Consumer and Insurance and a decrease in interest expense of $90 million and $30 million for Real Estate and Other, respectively.
For the period third quarter 2014 to the OneMain Acquisition
Total average unsecured debt was allocated to Consumer and Insurance, Real Estate and Other, such that the total debt allocated across each segment equaled 83%, up to 100% and 100% of each of its respective asset base. Any excess was allocated to Consumer and Insurance.
Average unsecured debt was allocated after average securitized debt to achieve the calculated average segment debt.
Asset base represented 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 are allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt.
Other expenses
Salaries and benefits
- Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other salaries and benefits not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided.
Other operating expenses
- Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other operating expenses not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided.
Insurance policy benefits and claims
 - Directly correlated with a specific segment.


The “Segment to GAAP Adjustment” column in the following tables primarily consists of:

Interest income - reverses the net purchase accounting impact of the amortization (accretion) of the net premium (discount) assigned topremiums/discounts on purchased finance receivables and the impact of identifying purchased credit impaired finance receivables as compared to theinterest income recognition under guidance in ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and reestablishes interest income recognition on a historical values of finance receivables;cost basis;

Interest expense - reverses the accretionimpact of the net discount applied to ourpremiums/discounts on acquired long-term debt as part of purchase accounting;and reestablishes interest expense recognition on a historical cost basis;

Provision for finance receivable losses - reverses the adjustment to reflectimpact of providing an allowance for finance receivable losses upon acquisition and reestablishes the difference between our allowance adjustment calculated underon a Segment Accounting Basishistorical cost basis and purchase accountingreverses the impact of recognition of net charge-offs on purchased credit impaired finance receivables and reestablishes the net charge-offs on a historical cost basis;

Other revenues - reestablishes the impacthistorical cost basis of carrying value differences between a Segment Accounting Basis and purchase accounting basis when measuring mark to market for loansmark-to-market adjustments on finance receivables held for sale and on realized gains/losses associated with our investment portfolio; and

Other expenses - reestablishes expenses on a historical cost basis by reversing the net impact of amortization associated with identified intangibles as partfrom acquired intangible assets and including amortization of purchase accountingother historical deferred costs; and deferred costs impacted by purchase accounting.

Assets - revalues assets based on their fair values at the effective date of the Fortress Acquisition.

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.


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

(a)“Purchases, sales, issues, and settlements” column consisted only of settlements.

(b)During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we transferred CMBS securities totaling $3 million out of Level 3 primarily related to the greater observability of pricing inputs.

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.

Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which information about the unobservable inputs was reasonably available to us at June 30, 2016 and DecemberMarch 31, 2015 is as follows:

(a)At December 31, 2015, RMBS consisted of one bond, which was less than $1 million.

(b)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.

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, 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.2017.

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.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on which we recorded impairment charges were as follows:

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 second 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 sellimmaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues. 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, 2016 and 2015 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.

Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

2016.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS

We useSee Note 23 of the followingNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, including cash and certain cash equivalents, approximates fair value.

Mutual Funds

Our unit of account is the mutual 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 elect 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 the derivative.

The fair value of certain 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 limitations in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

Finance Receivables Held for Sale

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

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

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


Notes Receivable from Parent and Affiliates

The carrying amount of the notes receivable from parent and affiliates approximates the fair value because the notes are payable on a demand basis prior to their due dates and the interest rates on these notes adjust 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 base our estimate of the fair value on independent third-party valuations at the time we take 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, 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.

Note Payable to Affiliate

The carrying amount of the note payable to affiliate approximates the fair value because the note is payable on a demand basis prior to its due date and the interest rate on the note adjusts with changing market interest rates.

Payables to Parent and Affiliates

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

18. Subsequent Events    

ODART 2016-1 SECURITIZATION

On July 19, 2016, we completed a private securitization transaction in which OneMain Direct Auto Receivables Trust 2016-1 (“ODART 2016-1”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, issued $754 million principal amount of notes backed by auto secured personal loans with an aggregate UPB of $754 million as of June 30, 2016. $700 million principal amount of the notes issued by ODART 2016-1, represented by Classes A, B and C, were sold to unaffiliated parties at a weighted average

interest rate of 2.27%, and $54 million principal amount of Class D notes were retained. The maturity dates of the notes occur on January 15, 2021 for the Class A, May 17, 2021 for the Class B, September 15, 2021 for the Class C and February 15, 2023 for the Class D. The first principal and interest payment on the notes is due on August 15, 2016. The indenture governing the ODART 2016-1 notes contains events of default which, if triggered, may result in the acceleration of the obligation to pay principal and interest on the notes.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Note PayableDividend of SFMC to AffiliateSFI

On JulyApril 10, 2017, SFMC, a subsidiary of SFC, was contributed to SFI in the form of a dividend. SFI then contributed SFMC and SGSC to OMH, and SFMC merged into SGSC. As a result of the dividend, the Company’s total shareholder equity and total assets were reduced by $38 million and $65 million, respectively, on the contribution date.

OUTLOOK

With our experienced management team, long track record of successfully accessing the capital markets, and strong demand for consumer credit, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our strategic priorities of strengthening our capital base by reducing leverage and maintaining a strong liquidity level and diversified funding sources.

Assuming the U.S. economy continues to experience slow to moderate growth, we expect to continue our long history of strong credit performance. Weperformance and believe the strong credit quality of our personal loan portfolio iswill continue as the result of our disciplined underwriting practices and ongoing collection efforts. We also continuehave continued to see growth in the volume of personal loan originations, including growth in our auto secured personal loans, driven by thesome migration of customer activity away from traditional channels, such as direct mail, to online channels (primarily serviced through our branch network), 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, long track recordTax Reform Proposals

The new presidential administration and several members of successfully accessing the capital markets,U.S. Congress have indicated significant reform of various aspects of the U.S. tax code as a top legislative priority. A number of proposals for tax reform, including significant changes to corporate tax provisions, are currently under consideration. Such changes could have a material impact, either positive or negative, on our deferred tax assets and strongliabilities and our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, depending on the nature and extent of any changes to the U.S. tax code that are ultimately enacted into law. Additionally,

changes to the U.S. tax code could more broadly impact the U.S. economy, which could potentially result in a material impact, either positive or negative, on the demand for consumer credit, we believe we are well positioned for future personal loan growth.our products and services and the ability of our customers to repay their loans. We are focused on executing oncannot predict if or when any of these proposals to reform the U.S. tax code will be enacted into law and, accordingly, no assurance can be given as to whether or to what extent any changes to the U.S. tax code will impact us or our strategic prioritiescustomers or our financial position, results of strengthening our capital base through the following key initiatives:operations or cash flows.

Comparison of Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Interest income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 due to the net of the following:
(dollars in millions) 
  
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 
Decrease in average net receivables$(109)
Decrease in yield(11)
Increase in number of days in 20163
Increase in interest income on finance receivables held for sale56
Total$(61)

Average net receivables decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to (i) the SpringCastle Interests Sale and the liquidating status of the previously owned SpringCastle Portfolio, (ii) the transfer of $608

million of our personal loans to finance receivables held for sale on September 30, 2015 as part of OMH’s initiative to close the OneMain Acquisition, and (iii) our liquidating real estate loan portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by higher personal loan average net receivables resulting from (i) our continued focus on personal loan originations through our branch network and centralized operations and (ii) the continued growth of our auto secured personal loans.

Yield decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the continued growth of our auto secured personal loans, which generally have lower yields relative to our other personal loans.

Interest income on finance receivables held for sale increased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to higher average finance receivables held for sale during the 2016 period resulting from the transfer of $608 million of our personal loans to held for sale on September 30, 2015, which were sold on May 2, 2016.

Interest expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 due to the net of the following:
(dollars in millions) 
  
Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 
Decrease in average debt$(38)
Decrease in weighted average interest rate(3)
Interest expense on note payable to affiliate6
Total$(35)

Average debt decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to (i) the elimination of the debt associated with our SpringCastle securitization as a result of the SpringCastle Interests Sale and the resulting deconsolidation of the securitization trust holding the underlying loans of the SpringCastle Portfolio and previously issued securitized interests, which were reported in long-term debt and (ii) net debt repurchases and repayment during the past 12 months relating to our consumer securitization transactions. This decrease was partially offset by (i) net debt issued in connection with SFC’s offering of the 8.25% SFC Notes in April of 2016 and (ii) additional borrowings under our conduit facilities. See Notes 10 and 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our long-term debt, consumer loan securitization transactions, and borrowings under our conduit facilities.

Weighted average interest rate on our debt decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to additional borrowings under our conduit facilities, which generally have lower interest rates relative to our other indebtedness.

Interest expense on note payable to affiliate resulted from a revolving demand note agreement between SFC and OMFH, entered into on December 1, 2015. See Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this note.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher net charge-offs on our personal loans reflecting (i) growth in these personal loans during the past 12 months and (ii) a higher personal loan delinquency ratio at June 30, 2016. This increase was partially offset by (i) lower net charge-offs on the previously owned SpringCastle Portfolio reflecting the SpringCastle Interests Sale and the improved central servicing performance as the acquired portfolio matured under our ownership and (ii) lower net charge-offs on our real estate loans reflecting the liquidating status of the real estate loan portfolio.

Net gain on sale of SpringCastle interests of $167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflected the net gain associated with the sale of our equity interest in the SpringCastle Joint Venture on March 31, 2016. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the sale.

Other revenues increased $82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the net of (i) increase in interest income on notes receivable from parent and affiliates of $96 million reflecting interest income on the Independence Demand Note during the 2016 period and higher interest income on SFC’s note receivable from SFI reflecting additional SFI borrowings during the 2016 period to fund the operations of its subsidiaries, (ii) net gain on sale of personal loans of $22 million, (iii) decrease in investment revenues of $18 million primarily due to lower realized gains

on the sale of investment securities and a decrease in invested assets, and (iv) net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $16 million.

Other expenses increased $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 due to the net of the following:

Salaries and benefits increased $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to higher salary accruals in the 2016 period resulting from an increase in the number of employees. This increase was partially offset by non-cash incentive compensation expense of $15 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015 relating to the rights of certain executives to receive a portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of OMH’s common stock by the Initial Stockholder.

Other operating expenses increased $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to (i) higher professional fees in the 2016 period reflecting debt refinance costs and increased business efforts, (ii) higher advertising expenses in the 2016 period due to increased focus on e-commerce, increased direct mailings to pre-approved customers, and increased use of promotions, and (iii) higher information technology expenses in the 2016 period. This increase was partially offset by three additional months of servicing expenses for the SpringCastle Portfolio during the 2015 period.

Insurance policy benefits and claims decreased $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to favorable variances in benefits incurred during the 2016 period.

Provision for income taxes totaled $91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $9 million for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 34.0% compared to 10.7% for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 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 MeasuresAdjusted Pretax Income

Segment Accounting Basis. We report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, Real Estate, 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 currently have a material effect on our reported segment basis income as compared to GAAP. See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of our segment accounting. We believe the Segment Accounting Basis (a basis other than GAAP) provides investors a consistent basis for which management evaluates segment performance.

The reconciliations of income before provision for income taxes attributable to SFC on a GAAP basis (purchase accounting) to the same amounts under a Segment Accounting Basis were as follows:

(a)The GAAP to Segment Accounting Basis adjustments primarily consists of:

InterestManagement uses adjusted pretax income - the net purchase accounting impact of the amortization (accretion) of the net premium (discount) assigned to finance receivables and the impact of identifying purchased credit impaired finance receivables as compared to the historical values of finance receivables;

Interest expense - the accretion of the net discount applied to our long-term debt as part of purchase accounting;

Provision for finance receivable losses - the adjustment to reflect the difference between our allowance adjustment calculated under a Segment Accounting Basis and purchase accounting basis;

Other revenues - the impact of carrying value differences between a Segment Accounting Basis and purchase accounting basis when measuring mark to market for loans held for sale and realized gains/losses associated with our investment portfolio; and

Other expenses - the net impact of amortization associated with identified intangibles as part of purchase accounting and deferred costs impacted by purchase accounting.

(b)Purchase accounting was not elected at the segment level.

We also report selected financial statistics relating to the net finance receivables and credit quality of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, Real Estate, and Other using a Segment Accounting Basis.

Adjusted Pretax Earnings (Loss).Management uses adjusted pretax earnings (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a key performance measure of our segments. Adjusted pretax earnings (loss)income represents income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a Segment Accounting Basis and excludes net gain on sale of personal loans, net gain on sale of SpringCastle interests, SpringCastle transaction costs, and losses resulting from accelerated repaymentrepurchases and repurchasesrepayments of long-term debt, and debt refinance costs.debt. Management believes adjusted pretax earnings (loss)income is useful in assessing the profitability of our segments and uses adjusted pretax earnings (loss)income in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted pretax earnings (loss)income is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered supplemental to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Segment Results    

See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I - Item 1 of this report for (i) a description of our segments. As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we have applied purchase accounting. However, we report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, Real Estate, and Other using a “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 andsegments, (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 GAAP. We believe a Segment Accounting Basis (a basis other than GAAP) provides investors the basis for which management evaluates segment performance. See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for (i) reconciliations of segment totals to condensed consolidated financial statement amounts, (ii)(iii) methodologies used to allocate revenues and expenses to each segment, and (iii)(iv) further discussion of the differences in our Segment Accounting Basis and GAAP.

Other operating expenses increased $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to (i) higher advertising expenses in the 2016 period reflecting increased focus on e-commerce, increased direct mailings to pre-approved customers, and increased use of promotions, (ii) higher professional fees in the 2016 period reflecting debt refinance costs and increased business efforts, (iii) higher information technology expenses in the 2016 period, and (iv) higher credit and collection related costs in the 2016 period reflecting growth in personal loans, including our auto secured personal loans.

Insurance policy benefits and claims decreased $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to favorable variances in benefits incurred during the 2016 period.

(a)Interest expense decreased $45 million and $92 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to a change in the methodology of allocating interest expense, as previously described in the allocation methodologies table.

(b)Other revenues decreased $9 million and $23 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to (i) impairments of $3 million and $10 million recognized on our real estate loans held for sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and (ii) a decrease in investment revenues during the 2016 periods, as the prior periods reflected higher investment income generated from investing the proceeds of the 2014 real estate loan sales.

(c)See “Key Financial Definitions” at the end of our management's discussion and analysis for formulas of key performance ratios.

OTHER

“Other” consists of our other non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our three segments. These operations include:include (i) our legacy operations in 14 states where we had also ceased branch-based personal lending during 2012;liquidating real estate loan portfolio as discussed below, (ii) our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including retail sales finance accounts from itsour legacy auto finance operation);, and (iii) our lending operationsshort equity personal loans that we are no longer originating.

Beginning in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands; and (iv) the operations2017, management no longer views or manages our real estate assets as a separate operating segment. Therefore, we are now including Real Estate, which was previously presented as a distinct reporting segment, in “Other.” To conform to this new alignment of our United Kingdom subsidiary.

The largest component of our finance receivables and primary source of our interest income is our personal loan portfolio. Our customers encompasspersonal loans are typically non-revolving with a wide rangefixed-rate and a fixed, original term of borrowers. Inthree to five years and are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured. At March 31, 2017, 58% of our personal loans were secured by titled collateral, compared to 58% at December 31, 2016.

Distribution of Finance Receivables by FICO Score

There are many different categorizations used in the consumer lending industry to describe the creditworthiness of a borrower, including prime, non-prime, and sub-prime. We track and analyze the performance of our finance industry, theyreceivable portfolio using many different parameters, including FICO scores, which is widely recognized in the consumer lending industry.

We group FICO scores into the following credit strength categories:

Prime: FICO score of 660 or higher
Non-prime: FICO score of 620-659
Sub-prime: FICO score of 619 or below


Our customers are described as prime or near-prime at one extremeend of the credit spectrum and non-prime or sub-prime (less creditworthy) at the other. Our customers’ incomesdemographics are generallyin many respects near the national median, but our customers may vary from national norms as to their debt-to-income ratios, employmentin terms of credit and residency stability, and/or credit repayment histories. In general,Many of our customers have lowerexperienced some level of prior financial difficulty or have limited credit qualityexperience and require significanthigher levels of servicing.servicing and support from our branch network.

We may offer borrowersOur net finance receivables grouped into the opportunity to defer their personal loan by extendingfollowing categories based solely on borrower FICO credit scores at the purchase, origination, renewal, or most recently refreshed 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.were as follows:

*The shift in FICO distribution reflects the alignment in FICO versions across OMH. As of March 31, 2017, the legacy Springleaf FICO scores were refreshed to FICO 08 version, which is comparable with the legacy OneMain FICO version.

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 our centralized service centers for account servicing and collection processing. This process includes assessing previous collection efforts, contacting the customer to determine whether

the customer’s financial problems are temporary, reviewing the collateral securing the loan and developing 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 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 employ the same credit risk underwriting process that we would use for an application from a new customer to determine whether to grant a renewal of a personal loan, regardless of whether the borrower’s account is current or delinquent.DELINQUENCY

We consider the delinquency status of theour finance receivable as ourthe primary indicator of credit quality indicator.quality. We monitor delinquency trends to evaluate the risk of future credit losses and employ advanced analytical tools to manage our exposure and appetite. Our branch team members work with customers through occasional periods of financial difficulty and offer a variety of borrower assistance programs to credit risk. Although wehelp customers continue to make payments. Team members also actively engage in collection activities well before an account isthroughout the early stages of delinquency. We closely track and report the percentage of receivables that are 30-89 days past due as a benchmark of portfolio quality, collections effectiveness, and as a strong indicator of losses in coming quarters.

When finance receivables are 60 days past due, we consider them delinquent and transfer collections management of these accounts to our centralized operations, as these accounts are considered to be at increased risk for loss. Use of our centralized operations teams for managing late stage delinquency allows us to apply more advanced collections technologies/tools and drives operating efficiencies in servicing. At 90 days past due, we consider our finance receivables 60to be nonperforming.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGTDR FINANCE RECEIVABLES

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, borrowings from conduit facilities, unsecured debt and equity, and may also utilize other corporate debt 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 8.25% Senior Notes

On April 11, 2016, SFC issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 8.25% SFC Notes due 2020 under the Indenture, pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the notes on a senior 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 and the remainder for general corporate purposes. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this offering.

Securitizations and Borrowings from Revolving Conduit Facilities

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we (i) completed one auto securitization and (ii) exercised our right to redeem the asset backedasset-backed notes issued by the Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-B and (ii) deconsolidated the previously issued securitized interests of the SpringCastle Funding Asset-backed NotesSLFT 2014-A. See “Structured Financings” later in this section for further information on each of our securitization transactions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we (i) extended the revolving periods on five existing revolving conduit facilities and (ii) amended three existing revolving conduit facilities to change the maximum principal balances. Net repaymentsborrowings under the notes of our existing revolving conduit facilities totaled $875$10 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

See Note 11Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I - Item 1 of this report for further information on our personallong-term debt, consumer loan securitizationssecuritization transactions and revolving conduit facilities.

Subsequent to June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we completed the following transactions:

On July 19, 2016,April 13, 2017, Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust voluntarily terminated its note purchase agreement with its lender.

On April 27, 2017, we completed a private securitization transaction in which ODART 2016-1, a wholly owned special purpose vehicledrew $60 million of SFC, issued $754 million principal amount of notes backed by auto secured personal loans with an aggregate UPB of $754 million as of June 30, 2016. $700 million principal amount of the variable funding notes issued by ODART 2016-1, represented by Classes A, B and C, were sold to unaffiliated parties at a weighted average interest rate of 2.27%, and $54 million principal amount of Class D notes were retained.Sumner Brook 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.

At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had $320$397 million of cash and cash equivalents, and during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016, SFCMarch 31, 2017, we generated net income attributable to SFC of $149$27 million. Our net cash inflow from operating and investing activities totaled $856$161 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our remaining scheduled principal and interest payments for 20162017 on our existing debt (excluding securitizations and borrowings under revolving conduit facilities)securitizations) totaled $561 million.$1.6 billion. As of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had $2.2$1.8 billion UPB of unencumbered personal loans and $745$357 million UPB of unencumbered real estate loans (including $526$210 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 12 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.

Subsequent Transactions

On April 13, 2017 and May 2, 2017, SFC advanced $50 million and $37 million, respectively, to OMFH, under the OneMain Demand Note.

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.

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 some or all 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 fundingrevolving conduit 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 may determine; and
obtaining new and extending existing secured revolving credit facilities to allow us to use excess cash to pay down higher cost debt.provide committed liquidity in case of prolonged market fluctuations.


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

Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to state regulations that limit their ability to pay dividends. State law restricts the amounts our insurance subsidiaries,that Merit and Yosemite may pay as dividends without prior notice to the Indiana Department of Insurance (the “Indiana DOI”).DOI. The maximum amount of dividends, (referredreferred to as “ordinary dividends”)dividends,” for an Indiana domiciled life insurance company that can be paid without prior approval in a 12-month12 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 gain from operations as of the prior year-end. Any amount greater 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-month12 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.” DuringOur insurance subsidiaries did not pay any dividends during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016, MeritMarch 31, 2017 and Yosemite paid extraordinary dividends to SFC totaling $63 million.2016.

As of June 30, 2016, $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% SFC Notes were outstanding.

Other 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 unsecured basis, and $350 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture, on a junior subordinated basis, issued by SFC (collectively, the “Other SFC Notes”). The Other 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 June 30, 2016, approximately $3.3 billion aggregate principal amount of the Other SFC Notes was outstanding.COVENANTS

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,the Junior Subordinated Debenture, none of ourSFC’s debt agreements require SFC or any of its subsidiaries to meet or maintain any specific financial targets or ratios. 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, 2016,March 31, 2017, SFC was in compliance with all of the covenants under itsour debt agreements.

Junior Subordinated Debenture.Debenture

In January of 2007, SFC issued the Junior Subordinated Debenture, consisting of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debenture (the “debenture”) under an indenture dated January 22, 2007 (the “Juniordebt. The Junior Subordinated Indenture”), by and between SFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, as trustee. The debentureDebenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. SFC can redeem the debentureJunior Subordinated Debenture at par beginning in January of 2017. Effective January 16, 2017, the interest rate on the UPB of the Junior Subordinated Debenture became a variable floating rate (determined quarterly) equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 1.75%, or 2.77% as of March 31, 2017. Prior to January 16, 2017, the interest rate on the UPB of the Junior Subordinated Debenture was a fixed rate of 6.00%.

Pursuant to the terms of the debenture,Junior Subordinated Debenture, SFC, upon the occurrence of a mandatory trigger event, is required to defer interest payments to the holders of the debentureJunior Subordinated 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 debentureJunior Subordinated Debenture otherwise payable on the next interest payment date and pays such amount to the holders of the debenture.Junior Subordinated Debenture. A mandatory trigger event occurs if SFC’s (i) tangible equity to tangible managed assets is less than 5.5% or (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).quarters.

Based upon SFC’s financial results for the 12 months ended March 31, 2016,2017, a mandatory trigger event did not occur with respect to the interest payment due in JulyApril of 2016,2017, as SFC was in compliance with both required ratios discussed above.

In addition to the structured financings included in the table above, we had access to seven conduit facilities with a total borrowing capacity of $2.4$2.5 billion as of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, as discussed in Note 1110 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements in Part I - Item 1 of this report. At June 30, 2016, $325March 31, 2017, $10 million was drawn under these facilities.

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources of Funds - Securitizations and Borrowings from Revolving Conduit Facilities” above for information on the securitization and conduit transactions completed subsequent to June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

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 unsecured debt.

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, 2016March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2015,2016, other than certain representations and warranties associated with the sales of the mortgage-backed retained certificates during 2014. As of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, 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 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 20152016 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.measurements; and
other intangible assets.

Effective April 1, 2016, we changed our accounting policy for derecognition of PCI loans. See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements    

See Note 32 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I - Item 1 of this report 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.season. Delinquencies on our personal loans are generally lowest in the first quarter and tend to rise throughout the remainder of the year. These seasonal trends contribute to fluctuations in our operating results and cash needs throughout the year.
