NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Alliance Data Systems Corporation (“ADSC” or, including its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.26, 2021.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets; (2) liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Effective March 31, 2019, the Company’s divested Epsilon segment met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations,” and was subsequently sold on July 1, 2019. The Company’s products and services are reported under 2 segments—LoyaltyOne® and Card Services.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2019,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and clarifies certain aspects of ASC 740 to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. This ASU is elective and is effective upon issuance for all entities. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 eliminated certain exceptions within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes,” and clarified certain aspects of Credit LossesASC 740 to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within the standard were required to be applied on Financial Instruments,”a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or ASC 326. Thismodified retrospective basis. The Company’s adoption of this standard referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”), required entities to utilize a financial instrument impairment model to establish an allowance based on expected losses over the life of the exposure rather than a model based on an incurred loss approach. Estimates of expected credit losses under the CECL model are based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking forecasts regarding the collectability of the loan portfolio.
The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 and recorded an increase in its allowance for loan loss at adoption of $644.0 million, which was recorded through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of taxes. CECL also expanded the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for loan loss. See Note 6, “Credit Card and Loan Receivables,” for the Company’s CECL disclosures.
In addition, CECL modified the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provided for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. CECL impacts the Company’s valuation of its accounts receivable and available-for-sale debt securities, with respect to which the Company’s adoption2021 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements from Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 requires customers in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software,” to determine which implementation costs may be capitalized. ASU 2018-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Loss
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 on a modified retrospective approach and applied a CECL model to determine its allowance for loan loss. The allowance for loan loss is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the estimated life of its credit card and loan receivables that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The estimate under the CECLcurrent expected credit loss (“CECL”) model is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the Company’s portfolio of credit card and loan receivables, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. The estimate of the allowance for loan loss includes an estimate for uncollectible principal as well as unpaid interest and fees. Charge-offs of principal amounts, net of recoveries are deducted from the allowance. The allowance is maintained through an adjustment to the provision for loan loss and is evaluated for appropriateness. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company’s allowance for loan loss was determined utilizing an incurred loss model under ASC 450, “Contingencies.”
Credit Card Receivables
ASC 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” requires entities to use a “pooled” approach to estimate expected credit losses for financial assets with similar risk characteristics. As part of its CECL implementation, the Company evaluated multiple risk characteristics of its credit card and loan receivables portfolio, and determined delinquency status and credit quality to be the most significant characteristics for estimating expected credit losses. To estimate its allowance for loan loss, the Company segregates its credit card and loan receivables into 4 groups with similar risk characteristics, on the basis of delinquency status and credit quality risk score.score, which were determined by the Company to be the most significant characteristics for estimating expected credit losses. These risk characteristics are evaluated on at least an annual basis, or more frequently as facts and circumstances warrant. The Company’s credit card and loan receivables do not have stated maturities and therefore prepayments are not factored into the determination of the estimated life of the credit card and loan receivables. In determining the estimated life of a credit card and loan receivable, payments were applied to the measurement date balance with 0 payments allocated to future purchase activity. The Company uses a combination of First In First Out (“FIFO”) and the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009 (“CARD Act”) methodology to model balance paydown.

ALLIANCE DATA SYSTEMS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
The Company’s groups of pooled financial assets with similar risk characteristics and their estimated life is as follows:
| | | |
| | Estimated Life | |
| | (in months) | |
Group A (Current, risk score - high) | | | 14 |
Group B (Current, risk score - low) | | | 19 |
Group C (Delinquent, risk score - high) | | | 17 |
Group D (Delinquent, risk score - low) | | | 26 |
In estimating its allowance for loan loss, for each identified group, management utilizes various models and estimation techniques based on historical loss experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other relevant factors. These models utilize historical data and applicable macroeconomic variables with statistical analysis and behavioral relationships with credit performance. The Company’s quantitative estimate of expected credit losses under CECL is impacted by certain forecasted economic factors. Management utilizes a third party service to analyze a number of scenarios, but uses one scenario to determine the macroeconomic variables over the forecast period.

ALLIANCE DATA SYSTEMS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
The Company considers the forecast used to be reasonable and supportable over the estimated life of the credit card and loan receivables, with no reversion period. In addition to the quantitative estimate of expected credit losses, the Company also incorporates qualitative adjustments for certain factors such as Company-specific risks, changes in current economic conditions that may not be captured in the quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for loan loss reflects the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses. As permitted by ASC 326, the Company excludes unbilled finance charges from its amortized cost basis of credit card and loan receivables. At June 30,As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unbilled finance charges were $226.4$201.8 million and $219.4 million, respectively, and are included in other credit card and loan receivables in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.
Installment Loan Receivables
The allowance for loan loss for installment loan receivables utilizes a migration model over the remaining life of the loans. The model segments accounts based on three attributes: delinquency, risk score and remaining term. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for loan loss related to installment loan receivables was $6.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

DuringFor the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the decrease in the allowance for loan loss was due to a decline in credit card and loan receivables due to the pandemic, improvement in the macroeconomic outlook and improved delinquencies, offset in part by worsening macroeconomic variables.

Additionally, the worsening macroeconomic environment also increased the principal charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year.
Net Charge-offs
Net charge-offs include the principal amount of losses from credit cardholders unwilling or unable to pay their account balances, as well as bankrupt and deceased credit cardholders,that are deemed uncollectible, less recoveries and exclude charged-off interest, fees and fraud losses. Charged-off interest and fees reduce finance charges, net while fraud losses are recorded as a cost of operations expense. Credit card and loan receivables, including unpaid interest and fees, are charged-off in the month during which an account becomes 180 days contractually past due, except in the case of customer bankruptcies or death. Installment loan receivables, including unpaid interest, are charged-off when a loan is 120 days past due. Credit card receivables, including unpaid interest and fees, associated with customer bankruptcies or death are charged-off in each month subsequent to 60 days after the receipt of notification of the bankruptcy or death, but in any case, not later than the 180-day contractual time frame. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, principal charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $198.1 million and $320.2 million, respectively. Charge-offs for unpaid interest and fees were $130.5 million and $231.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

After an account becomes 30 days past due, a proprietary collection scoring algorithm automatically scores the risk of the account becoming further delinquent. The collection system then recommends a collection strategy for the past due account based on the collection score and account balance and dictates the contact schedule and collections priority for the account. If the Company is unable to make a collection after exhausting all in-house collection efforts, the Company may engage collection agencies and outside attorneys to continue those efforts.

concessions consisting primarily of a reduced minimum payment and an interest rate reduction. The temporary programs’ concessions remain in place for a period no longer than twelve months, while the permanent programs remain in place through the payoff of the credit card receivables if the credit cardholder complies with the terms of the program. Additionally, the Company instituted 2 temporary hardship programs with durations of three and six months with similar terms to our short-term forbearance programs, for borrowers who were not current as of their most recent billing cycle prior to April 2020.programs. As of June 30,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of credit card and loan receivables in these 2 short-term temporary hardship programs treated as troubled debt restructurings totaled approximately $28.6$31.1 million and are included in the troubled debt restructuring tables below.$39.9 million, respectively.

Troubled debt restructuring concessions do not include the forgiveness of unpaid principal, but may involve the reversal of certain unpaid interest or fee assessments. In the case of the temporary hardship programs, at the end of the concession period, credit card receivable terms revert to standard rates. These arrangements are automatically terminated if the customer fails to make payments in accordance with the terms of the program, at which time their account reverts back to its original terms. Credit card receivables for which temporary hardship and permanent concessions were granted are each considered troubled debt restructurings and are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Credit Quality
Credit Card Receivables
The Company uses proprietary scoring models developed specifically for the purpose of monitoring the Company’s obligor credit quality.quality for its credit card receivables. The proprietary scoring models are used as a tool in the underwriting process and for making credit decisions. The proprietary scoring models are based on historical data and require various assumptions about future performance, which the Company updates periodically.

The incremental borrowing rate is based on the Company’s specific rate of interest to borrow on a collateralized basis, over a similar term and in a similar economic environment as the lease.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company accounts for lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for its identified asset classes.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

The Company evaluates its right of use assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a right of use asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company performed an impairment assessment for the right of use asset associated with one of its locations that it ceased use with the intent to sublease. As a result of this impairment assessment, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge within its Card Services segment of $3.1 million, which is included in cost of operations in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result of COVID-19, the Company is evaluating potential office consolidations or closures.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, as of July 31, or when events and circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2020, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units is less than its carrying amount. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and current uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, future deterioration in the economy could adversely impact the Company’s reporting units and result in a goodwill impairment.
12. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In 2019, the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors, evaluated the cost structure and executed on certain cost saving initiatives at each segment. These charges included restructuring and other exit activities related to reductions in force, terminations of certain product lines, reduction or closure of certain leased office space, asset impairments, changes in management structure and fundamental reorganizations that affect the nature and focus of operations. Restructuring and other charges incurred at the Corporate segment were recorded to general and administrative expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, and restructuring and other charges incurred in the LoyaltyOne and Card Services segments were recorded to cost of operations in the

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value. To obtain fair values, observable market prices are used if available. In some instances, observable market prices are not readily available and fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for a particular financial instrument. These techniques involve judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

The following techniques and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
Credit card and loan receivables, net — The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, including estimated yields (interest and fee income), loss rates, payment rates and discount rates to estimate the fair value measurement of the credit card and loan receivables.
Credit card receivables held for sale — The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, including forecasted yields and net charge-off estimates to estimate the fair value measurement of the credit card portfolios held for sale, as well as market data as applicable.
Redemption settlement assets, restricted — Redemption settlement assets, restricted are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities.
Other investments — Other investments consist of marketable securities and U.S. Treasury bonds and are included in other current assets and other non-current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities.
Deposits — For money market deposits, carrying value approximates fair value due to the liquid nature of these deposits. For certificates of deposit, the fair value is estimated based on the current observable market rates available to the Company for similar deposits with similar remaining maturities.
Non-recourse borrowings of consolidated securitization entities — The fair value is estimated based on the current observable market rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments with similar remaining maturities or quoted market prices for the same transaction.
Long-term and other debt — The fair value is estimated based on the current observable market rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments with similar remaining maturities or quoted market prices for the same transaction.
Derivative instruments — The Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedges and foreign currency exchange forward contracts are recorded at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs.

This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,Measurement,” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs where little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The use of different techniques to determine fair value of these financial instruments could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.
The following tables provide information for the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019:2020:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including property and equipment, right of use assets, deferred contract assets, goodwill, and intangible assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, including when there is evidence of impairment. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $34.2 million related to deferred contract costs and certain right of use assets. The fair value was determined utilizing discounted cash flow models over the estimated life of each asset. The principal assumptions used in the Company’s impairment analysis were forecasted future cash flows and the discount rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 2, “Revenue,” and Note 10, “Leases,” for more information regarding asset impairments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, as part of restructuring and other charges, the Company recorded asset impairments of $11.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively. See Note 12, “Restructuring and Other Charges,” for more information.

Operating segments are defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and services.
The Company operates in the LoyaltyOne and Card Services reportable segments, which consist of the following:
● | LoyaltyOne provides coalition and short-term loyalty programs through the Company’s Canadian AIR MILES Reward Program and BrandLoyalty; and |

As the spread of the illness. As a result, COVID-19 restrictions have adversely impacted and continue to adversely impact our associates, our business partners, and our customers. In response to theglobal COVID-19 pandemic firsthas continued to evolve, our priority has been and foremost, we have prioritizedcontinues to be, the health and safety of our associates. Effective teleworking protocols are in place for more than 95% of our associates.
With respect to our business segments inemployees, with the second quarter of 2020, our Card Services segment performed better than our expectations on key credit metrics in the second quarter of 2020. Following a low point in April 2020, credit sales increased progressively as stores reopened, reaching a high point at the end of June 2020. At the same time, payment trends remained relatively stable across thevast majority of our cardholder base. We continuedemployees continuing to execute effectivelywork from home.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our results and year-over-year comparisons; however, credit metrics have remained resilient, with a net loss rate of 5.0% for cardholdersthe three months ended March 31, 2021, and clients acrossa delinquency rate of 3.8% for the enterprise, while maintaining teleworking protocolsperiod ended March 31, 2021. Improvement in the net loss rate is a result of prudent risk management strategy changes, deliberate underwriting actions, and ensuring safe on-site work environments. We have forbearance plans in place for cardholders in need and are engaging with them regularly. Adirect consumer stimulus payments. Credit sales year-over-year performance strengthened versus the previous quarter. The majority of the credit sales improvement can be attributed to in‐store sales, which have benefitted from increased consumer confidence and mobility. However, redemptions in our retail clients’ stores are now open,AIR MILES Reward Program declined 26% largely due to the downturn in the travel market as a result of the pandemic and we are working closely with clients on targeted programs and strategies to drive sales with support for both store-based clients and ecommerce salesrelated restrictions such as the online channelborder closures repressing travel-related redemptions. The AIR MILES Reward Program continues to perform strongly. At LoyaltyOne, we are adjustingpivot the timing of significant coalition and sponsor-specific promotions and marketing programs for our coalition loyalty program.

We continue to monitorDespite the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international, federal, state and local government and public health authorities. In addition,emergence of vaccines, surges in COVID-19 cases, including variants of the strain, may cause people to self-quarantine or governments to shut down nonessential businesses again. GivenThe broad availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the willingness of individuals to be vaccinated are difficult to predict. The pace and shape of the COVID-19 recovery as well as the impact and extent of potential resurgences is not presently known. We continue to evaluate the nature and extent of changes to the market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and current and potential impact on our business and financial position. However, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition,future results of operations or cash flows at this time. However, we expect COVID-19 to have an adverse impact on future revenue growth as well as overall profitability. We continue to evaluate and implement additional cost saving measures while maintaining service levels and positioning for future growth.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal toan increase in taxable income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesfirst quarter of America, or2021. In addition, the

GAAP, plus stock compensation expense, provisioneffective tax rate for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciationthe first quarter of 2020 was impacted by a discrete tax benefit and other amortization, and the amortizationreduction of purchased intangibles. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the gain on the sale of Precima, strategic transaction costs, which represent costs for professional services associatedtax reserves following a favorable settlement with strategic initiatives, asset impairments, and restructuring and other charges.
Adjusted EBITDA, net is also a non-GAAP financial measure equal to adjusted EBITDA less securitization funding costs and interest expense on deposits.state tax authority.
We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net as an integral part of our internal reporting to measure the performance of our reportable segments and to evaluate the performance of our senior management, and we believe it provides useful information to our investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net are each considered an important indicator of the operational strength of our businesses. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, including certain intangible assets that were recognized in business combinations. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our businesses. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets, such as capital expenditures, investment spending and return on capital and therefore the effects are excluded from adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA also eliminates the non-cash effect of stock compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either operating income, income from continuing operations or net income as indicators of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net are not intended to represent funds available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.

Our policy is to continue to accrue interest and fee income on all credit card accounts, except in limited circumstances, until the credit card account balance and all related interest and other fees are paid or charged-off, typically at 180 days delinquent. When an account becomes delinquent a message is printed on thefor credit cardholder’s billing statement requesting payment.card receivables and 120 days delinquent for installment loan receivables. After an account becomes 30 days past due, a proprietary collection scoring algorithm automatically scores the risk of the account becoming further delinquent. The collection system then recommends a collection strategy for the past due account based on the collection score and account balance and dictates the contact schedule and collections priority for the account. If we are unable to make a collection after exhausting all in-house collection efforts, we may engage collection agencies and outside attorneys to continue those efforts.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have offered forbearance programs to affected cardholders, which provide for short-term modifications in the form of payment deferrals and late fee waivers to borrowers who were current as of their most recent billing cycle prior to the announcement of the forbearance programs. Those accounts receiving forbearance relief may not advance to the next delinquency cycle, including eventually to charge-off, in the same timeframe that would have occurred had the forbearance relief not been granted.
Net Charge-Offs. Our net charge-offs include the principal amount of losses from cardholders unwilling or unable to pay their account balances, as well as bankrupt and deceased credit cardholders,that are deemed uncollectible, less recoveries and exclude charged-off interest, fees and fraud losses. Charged-off interest and fees reduce finance charges, net while fraud losses are recorded as an expense. Credit card and loan receivables, including unpaid interest and fees, are charged-off in the month during which an account becomes 180 days contractually past due, except in the case of customer bankruptcies or death. Installment loan receivables, including unpaid interest, are charged-off when a loan is 120 days past due. Credit card and loan receivables, including unpaid interest and fees, associated with customer bankruptcies or death are charged-off in each month subsequent to 60 days after the receipt of notification of the bankruptcy or death, but in any case, not later than the 180-day contractual time frame.
The net charge-off rate is calculated by dividing net charge-offs of principal receivables for the period by the average credit card and loan receivables for the period. Average credit card and loan receivables represent the average balance of the cardholder receivables at the beginning of each month in the periods indicated.

Funding Sources
Deposits
We utilize certificates of deposit and money market deposits to finance the operating activities, including funding for our non-securitized credit card receivables, and fund securitization enhancement requirements of our bank subsidiaries, Comenity Bank and Comenity Capital Bank.
As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $7.2$5.7 billion in certificates of deposit outstanding with interest rates ranging from 1.00%0.15% to 4.00%3.75% and maturities ranging from July 2020April 2021 to June 2025.March 2026. Certificate of deposit borrowings are subject to regulatory capital requirements.
As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $4.0$4.2 billion in money market deposits outstanding with interest rates ranging from 0.34%0.36% to 3.50%. Money market deposits are redeemable on demand by the customer and, as such, have no scheduled maturity date.
Securitization Program
We sell a majority of the credit card receivables originated by Comenity Bank to WFN Credit Company, LLC, which in turn sells them to World Financial Network Credit Card Master Trust, World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust, or Master Trust I, and World Financial Network Credit Card Master Trust III, or Master Trust III, or collectively, the WFN Trusts, as part of our credit card securitization program, which has been in existence since January 1996. We also sell our credit card receivables originated by Comenity Capital Bank to World Financial Capital Credit Company, LLC, which in turn sells them to World Financial Capital Master Note Trust, or the WFC Trust.certain master trusts. These securitization programs are a principal vehicle through which we finance Comenity Bank’s and Comenity Capital Bank’s credit card receivables. Historically, we have used both public and private term asset-backed securitization transactions as well as private conduit facilities as sources of funding for our securitized credit card receivables. Private conduit facilities have been used to accommodate seasonality needs and to bridge to completion of asset-backed securitization transactions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $591.5 million of asset-backed term notes matured and were repaid, of which $66.5 million were retained by us and eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets.
We have access to committed undrawn capacity through three conduit facilities to support the funding of our credit card and loan receivables through the trusts. As of March 31, 2021, total capacity under the conduit facilities was $3.2 billion, of which $900.0 million had been drawn and was included in non-recourse borrowings of consolidated securitization entities in the consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2020, the WFN Trusts and the WFC TrustMarch 31, 2021, we had approximately $10.7$10.2 billion of securitized credit card and loan receivables. Securitizations require credit enhancements in the form of cash, spread deposits, additional receivables and subordinated classes. The credit enhancement is principally based on the outstanding balances of the series issued by the WFN Trusts and the WFC Trusttrusts and by the performance of the credit card and loan receivables in these credit card securitizationthe trusts.
In April 2020, Master Trust I amended its 2009-VFN conduit facility, decreasing the capacity from $1.18 billion to $1.0 billion and extending the maturity to July 2021. In April 2020, Master Trust III amended its 2009-VFC conduit facility, decreasing the capacity from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion and extending the maturity to July 2021.
At June 30, 2020, we had $5.0 billion of non-recourse borrowings of consolidated securitization entities, of which $2.6 billion is due within the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2020, total capacity under the conduit facilities was $4.2 billion, of which $525.0 million had been drawn and was included in non-recourse borrowings of consolidated securitization entities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time we are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business that we believe will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, including claims and lawsuits alleging breaches of our contractual obligations. See Indemnification in Note 15,14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Other than as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to continue to pose risks to our business for the foreseeable future, heighten many of our known risks and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the current coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak to be a global pandemic. Both prior to and in response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world and within the United States, international, federal, state and local government or other authorities have instituted certain preventative measures, including border closures, travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns or other operational restrictions on certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines and recommendations to practice social distancing. Certain jurisdictions have begun reopening only to return to more stringent restrictions where increases in COVID-19 cases occur. These restrictions have continued to disrupt economic activity worldwide, resulting in volatility in the global capital markets, instability in the credit and financial markets, reduced commercial and consumer confidence and spending, widespread furloughs and layoffs, closure or restricted operating conditions for retail stores, labor shortages, regulatory recommendations to provide relief for impacted consumer borrowers and depositors, disruption in supply chains (including availability of raw materials, ability to manufacture goods and delivery of finished products to suppliers and retailers), and near complete cessation of many hospitality and travel industry operations. Even as governmental restrictions are lifted and economies gradually reopen, the ongoing economic impacts and health concerns associated with the pandemic may continue to affect consumer behavior, spending levels and retail preferences.
Specific impacts on our operations and financial results include, but are not limited to, the following:
54
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 may also be heightened. The complete impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity remains dependent on future developments, including the duration, or any continued recurrence, of the pandemic and the related length and severity of its impact on the global economy, which cannot be predicted at this time.
