1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business. Conn's,Business. Conn’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” “Conn’s” or “CONN” refer to Conn’s, Inc. and, as apparent from the context, its subsidiaries. Conn'sConn’s is a leading specialty retailer that offers a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to proprietary credit solutions for its core credit-constrained consumers. We operate an integrated and scalable business through our retail stores and website. Our complementary product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit offering provides financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit-constrained consumers who typically have limited credit alternatives.
We operate two2 reportable segments: retail and credit. Our retail stores bear the "Conn's" or "Conn's HomePlus"“Conn’s HomePlus” name with all of our stores providing the same products and services to a common customer group. Our stores follow the same procedures and methods in managing their operations. Our retail business and credit business are operated independently from each other. The credit segment is dedicated to providing short- and medium-term financing to our retail customers. The retail segment is not involved in credit approval decisions.decisions or collection efforts. Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of the retail and credit segments.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Conn's,Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the VIEs (as defined below)its Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”), have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) and prevailing industry practice for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesGAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The balance sheet at January 31, 20172022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017,2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 4, 2017.March 29, 2022.
Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.
Principles of Consolidation. Consolidation. The consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Conn's,Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities. Variable interest entities ("VIEs")VIEs are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
We securitize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and have a variable interest in each corresponding VIE by holding the residual equity. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of each respective VIE because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized portfolio give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) our variable interest in the VIE gives us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that potentially could be significant. As a result, we consolidate the respective VIEs within our consolidated financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Refer to Note 6, 5, Debt and CapitalFinancing Lease Obligations, and Note 8, 7, Variable Interest Entities, for additional information.
Use of Estimates. Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ, even significantly, from these estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowances for no-interest option credit programs, and deferred interest, which are particularly sensitive given the size of our customer portfolio balance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. CashEquivalents. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents includeincluded cash and credit card deposits in-transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Cashin transit. Credit card deposits in transit included in cash and cash equivalents include credit card deposits in-transit of $2.1were $7.8 million and $2.4$5.2 million as of OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and January 31, 2017,2022, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restricted Cash. The restricted cash balance as of OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and January 31, 20172022 includes $52.8$40.6 million and $75.2$25.7 million, respectively, of cash we collected as servicer on the securitized receivables that was subsequently remitted to the VIEs and $18.3$5.2 million and $35.5$4.2 million, respectively, of cash held by the VIEs as additional collateral for the asset-backed notes.
Customer accounts receivable. Accounts Receivable.Customer accounts receivable reported in the consolidated balance sheetCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes total receivables managed, including both those transferred to the VIEs and those not transferred to the VIEs. Customer accounts receivable are recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the product. Based on contractual terms, we record the amount of principal and accrued interestExpected lifetime losses on customer receivablesaccounts receivable are recognized upon origination through an allowance for credit losses account that is expected to be collected withindeducted from the next twelve months in current assets with the remainingcustomer account receivable balance in long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.and presented net. Customer accounts receivable include the net of unamortized deferred fees charged to customers and origination costs. Customer receivables are considered delinquent if a payment has not been received on the scheduled due date. Accounts that are delinquent more than 209 days as of the end of a month are charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts along with interest accrued subsequent to the last payment.
In an effort to mitigate losses on our accounts receivable, we may make loan modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. In our role as servicer, we may also make modifications to loans held by the VIEs. The loan modifications are intended to maximize net cash flow after expenses and avoid the need to repossess collateral or exercise legal remedies available to us. We may extend or "re-age"“re-age” a portion of our customer accounts, which involves modifying the payment terms to defer a portion of the cash payments due. Our re-aging of customer accounts does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer and typically does not reduce the monthly contractual payments. To a much lesser extent, we may provide the customer the ability to re-agerefinance their obligation by refinancing the account, which typically does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer but does reduce the monthly contractual payments and extend the term. We consider accounts that have been re-aged in excess of three months or refinanced as Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDR"(“TDR” or "Restructured Accounts"“Restructured Accounts”).
Interest incomeIncome on customer accounts receivable. Customer Accounts Receivable.Interest income, which includes interest income and amortization of deferred fees and origination costs, is recorded using the interest method and is reflected in finance charges and other revenues. Typically, interest income is recorded until the customer account is paid off or charged-off and we provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible interest. We reserve for interest that is more than 60 days past due. Any contractual interest income received from customers in excess of the interest income calculated using the interest method is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheets. Our calculation of interest income for customers with similar financing arrangements for which the timing and amount of prepayments can be reasonably estimated includes an estimate of the benefit from future prepayments based on our historical experience. At OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and January 31, 2017,2022, there was $13.0$8.3 million and $13.7$8.6 million, respectively, of deferred interest included in deferred revenues and other credits and other long-term liabilities. The deferred interest will ultimately be brought into income as the accounts pay off or charge-off.
We offer 12-and 18-montha 12-month no-interest option programs.program. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest option program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and none of the interest earned is waived. Interest income is recognized based on estimated accrued interest earned to date on all no-interest option finance programs with an offsetting reserve for those customers expected to satisfy the requirements of the program based on our historical experience.
No-interest option finance programs with terms greater than 12 months are discounted to their present value at origination, resulting in a reduction in sales and customer receivables, and the discount amount is amortized into finance charges and other revenues over the term of the contract.
We recognize interest income on TDR accounts using the interest income method, which requires reporting interest income equal to the increase in the net carrying amount of the loan attributable to the passage of time. Cash proceeds and other adjustments are applied to the net carrying amount such that it equals the present value of expected future cash flows.
We typically only place accounts in non-accrual status when legally required. Payments received on non-accrual loans will beare applied to principal and reduce the amountbalance of the loan. At OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and January 31, 2017,2022, the carrying value of customer receivables carriedaccounts receivable in non-accrual status were $21.4was $7.0 million and $22.9$5.9 million, respectively. At OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and January 31, 2017,2022, the carrying value of customer receivablesaccounts receivable that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $105.2$82.1 million and $124.0$84.1 million, respectively.

Allowance for doubtful accounts.Doubtful Accounts. The determination of the amount of the allowance for bad debtscredit losses is, by nature, highly complex and subjective. Future events that are inherently uncertain could result in material changes to the level of the allowance for bad debts.credit losses. General economic conditions, changes to state or federal regulations and a variety of other factors that affect the ability of borrowers’borrowers to service their debts or our ability to collect will impact the future performance of the portfolio.
We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts,credit losses, including estimated uncollectible interest, to cover probable and estimableexpected credit losses on our customer accounts receivable resulting from the failure of customers to make contractual payments. Our customer accounts receivable portfolio balance consists of a large number of relatively small, homogeneous accounts. None of our accounts are large enough to warrant individual evaluation for impairment. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis where similar risk characteristics exist. The allowance for credit losses is determined for each pool and added to the pool’s carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis.
CONN’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We record an allowance for doubtful accountsuse a risk-based, pool-level segmentation framework to calculate the expected loss rate. This framework is based on our non-TDR customer accounts receivable that we expect to charge-off over the next 12 months based on historical gross charge-off rates over the last 24 months. We incorporate an adjustment to historical gross charge-off rates for a scaled factor of the year-over-year change in six month average first payment default rates and the year-over-year change in the balance of customer accounts receivable that are 60 days or more past due.history. In addition to adjusted historical gross charge-off rates, estimates of post-charge-off recoveries, including cash payments from customers, amounts realized from the repossession of the products financed, sales tax recoveries from taxing jurisdictions, and payments received under credit insurance and repair service agreement (“RSA”) policies are also considered.
Qualitative adjustments are made to the allowance for bad debts when, based on management’s judgment, there are internal or external factors impacting probable incurred losses not taken into account by the quantitative calculations. These qualitative considerations are based on the following factors: changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in economic and business conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in lending management, changes in credit quality statistics, changes in the quality of the loan review system, changes in the value of underlying collateral, changes in concentrations of credit, and other internal or external factor changes. We utilize an economic qualitative adjustment based on changes in unemployment rates if current unemployment rates in our markets are worse than they were on average over the last 24 months. We also qualitatively limit the impact of changes in first payment default rates and changes in delinquency when those changes result in a decrease to the allowance for bad debtsconsider forward-looking economic forecasts based on a measurestatistical analysis of economic factors (specifically, forecast of unemployment rates over the dispersion of historical charge-off rates. reasonable and supportable forecasting period). To the extent that situations and trends arise which are not captured in our model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments.
Pursuant to ASC 326 requirements, the Company uses a 24-month reasonable and supportable forecast period for the customer accounts receivable portfolio. We determine allowances for those accounts that are TDRestimate losses beyond the 24-month forecast period based on the discounted present value of cash flows expected to be collectedhistoric loss rates experienced over the life of those accounts based primarily onour historic loan portfolio by loan pool type. We revisit our measurement methodology and assumption annually, or more frequently if circumstances warrant.
As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the performancebalance of TDR loans over the last 24 months. The cash flows are discounted based on the weighted-average effective interest rate of the TDR accounts. The excess of the carrying amount over the discounted cash flow amount is recorded as an allowance for lossdoubtful accounts and uncollectible interest for non-TDR customer receivables was $144.2 million and $165.0 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the amount included in the allowance for doubtful accounts associated with principal and interest on those accounts.TDR accounts was $35.6 million and $44.0 million, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs. Costs that are direct and incremental to debt issuance are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the debt. All other costs related to debt issuance are expensed as incurred. We present debt issuance costs associated with long-term debt as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt. Unamortized costs related to the revolving credit facility were $5.9 millionRevolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 5, Debt and $5.7 million as of October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively, and wereFinancing Lease Obligations, are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and were $4.3 million and $5.1 million as of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively.
Loss on Extinguishment. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, we incurred a loss of $1.0 million related to the retirement of the remaining $141.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 and a loss of $0.2 million related to the amendment of our Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.
Income Taxes. For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172022 and 20162021, we utilized the estimated annual effective tax rate based on our estimated fiscal year 20182023 and 20172022 pre-tax income, respectively, in determining income tax expense.
Provision for income taxes for interim periods is based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items. As a result, our interim effective tax rates may vary significantly from the statutory tax rate and the annual effective tax rate.
For the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rate was 13.3% and 23.4%, respectively. The primary factor affecting the decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2022 was the impact of state taxes and compensation expense.
Stock-based compensation. Compensation. During the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company granted performance stock awards (“PSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSUs”). The awards had a combined aggregate grant date fair value of $15.8 million. The PSUs will vest in fiscal year 2025, if at all, upon certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of satisfaction of certain total stockholder return performance conditions over the three fiscal years commencing with fiscal year 2023. The RSUs will vest ratably, over periods of three years from the date of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense is recorded, net of estimatedactual forfeitures, for share-based compensation awards over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. An adjustment is made to compensation cost for any difference between the estimated forfeitures and the actual forfeitures related to the awards. For equity-classified share-based compensation awards, expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option grants, we use the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value. For grants of restricted stock units, the fair value of the grant is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance. For grants of performance-based restricted stock units, the fair value is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance adjusted for the market condition using a Monte Carlo model.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows:
•Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (for example, quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or market-corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable from objective sources such as our internally developed assumptions used in pricing an asset or liability (for example, an estimate of future cash flows used in our internally developed present value of future cash flows model that underlies the fair-value measurement).
In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. When we are required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or liability or for a similar asset or liability, we use the cost or income approach depending on the quality of information available to support
CONN’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows and discounts the expected cash flows using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and the results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, economic and regulatory climates, and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, we believe assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs, and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in our business plans and investment decisions.
In arriving at fair-value estimates, we use relevant observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair-value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement is characterized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair-value measurement.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash held by the consolidated VIEs and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of customer accounts receivables,receivable, determined using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis, approximates their carrying amount, which includesvalue, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The fair value of our revolving credit facilityRevolving Credit Facility approximates carrying value based on the current borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2022, the fair value of the Senior Notes outstanding, whichasset backed notes was determined using Level 1 inputs, was $225.3$595.1 million as compared to the carrying value of $227.0$604.0 million excluding the impact of the related discount. At October 31, 2017, the fair value of the asset-backed notes approximates their carrying value and was determined using Level 2 inputs based on inactive trading activity.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.In March 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 718)740): ImprovementsSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an update intended to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which modifies thesimplify various aspects related to accounting for excess tax benefitsincome taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and tax deficiencies associated with share-based payments, thealso clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This accounting for forfeitures, and the classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital ("APIC"), and the requirement to evaluate tax deficiencies for APIC or income tax expense classification, and provides for these benefits or deficiencies to be recorded as an income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. With these changes, tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments are classified as operating activities as opposed to financing. The standardstandards update became effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.2022. The amendment requiring the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement as opposed to being recognized as additional paid-in-capital was applied prospectively and the impact was not material. The Company retrospectively adopted the amendments requiring the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies with other income tax cash flows as operating activities and cash paid when directly withholding shares as financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows; the impact was not material. The Company has elected to continue its current practice of estimating the number of awards expected to vest in determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized related to share based payment transactions.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory that has historically been measured using first-in, first-out or average cost method be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The update requires prospective application and became effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In February 2016,March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 842)326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which will change how lessees account an update that eliminate the accounting guidance for leases. For most leases,troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in ASC 310-40 while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a liability willborrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be recorded on the balance sheet based on the present value of future lease obligationsapplied prospectively, with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Primarily for those leases currently classified by us as operating leases, we will recognize a single lease cost on a straight line basis based on the combined amortization of the lease obligation and the right-of-use asset. Other leases will be requiredan option to be accounted for as financing arrangements similar to how we currently account for capital leases. On transition, we will recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented usingapply a modified retrospective approach. The final standard will become effectivetransition approach for us beginning inthe recognition and measurement of TDRs. We expect to adopt ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements as we will be required to report additional leases on our consolidated balance sheet. We are the lessee under various lease agreements for our retail stores and equipment that are currently accounted for as operating leases as discussed in Note 6, Leases, of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The standard will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.2024.

ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice. Among other things, debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs will be presented as cash outflows for financing activities on the statement of cash flow. The standard will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The standard will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The application of the amendments will require the use of a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are evaluating the standard and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows provides the change in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We hold restricted cash related to our asset-backed security transactions. The adoption of this standard will result in us no longer showing the changes in restricted cash balances as a component of cash flows from financing activities but instead include the balances of both current and long-term restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the beginning and end of the periods presented. The ASU will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and early adoption is permitted.

Senior Notes. On July 1, 2014, we issued $250.0 million of the unsecured Senior Notes due July 2022 bearing interest at 7.25% (the "Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated July 1, 2014 (the "Indenture"), among Conn's, Inc., its subsidiary guarantors (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The effective interest rate of the Senior Notes after giving effect to the discount and issuance costs is 7.8%.
The Indenture restricts the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock ("restricted payments"); (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the notes; (iv) make loans and certain investments; (v) sell assets; (vi) incur liens; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. Specifically, limitations on restricted payments are only effective if one or more of the following occurred: (1) a default were to exist under the Indenture, (2) we could not satisfy a debt incurrence test, and (3) the aggregate amount of restricted payments were to exceed an amount tied to consolidated net income. These limitations, however, are subject to two exceptions: (1) an exception that permits the payment of up to $375.0 million in restricted payments, and (2) an exception that permits restricted payments regardless of dollar amount so long as, after giving pro forma effect to the dividends and other restricted payments, we would have had a leverage ratio, as defined under the Indenture, of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0. As a result of these exceptions, as of October 31, 2017, $179.2 million would have been free from the distribution restriction. However, as a result of the revolving credit facility distribution restrictions, which are further described below, we were restricted from making a distribution as of October 31, 2017. During any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and we will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.
Events of default under the Indenture include customary events, such as a cross-acceleration provision in the event that we fail to make payment of other indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period or upon acceleration of indebtedness prior to its stated maturity date in an amount exceeding $25.0 million, as well as in the event a judgment is entered against us in excess of $25.0 million that is not discharged, bonded or insured.

Asset-backed Notes.During fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, From time to time, we securitizedsecuritize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. In turn, the VIEs issuedissue asset-backed notes secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by the VIEs.
Under the terms of the securitization transactions, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables go first to the servicer and the holders of issued notes, and then to us as the holder of non-issued notes, if any, and residual equity. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolios and receive a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables. In addition, we, rather than the VIEs, retain all credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and repair service agreementsRSAs on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which are reflected as a reduction to net charge-offs on a consolidated basis.
The asset-backed notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.1933. If an event of default were to occur under the indenture that governs the respective asset-backed notes, the payment of the outstanding amounts may be accelerated, in which event the cash proceeds of the receivables that otherwise might be released to the residual equity holder would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the asset-backed notes, or if the receivables are liquidated, all liquidation proceeds could be directed solely to repayment of the asset-backed notes as governed by the respective terms of the asset-backed notes. The holders of the asset-backed notes have no recourse to assets outside of the VIEs. Events of default include, but are not limited to, failure to make required payments on the asset-backed notes or specified bankruptcy-related events.

The Consolidated Securities Action started as three separate purported securities class action lawsuits filed between March 5, 2014 and May 5, 2014 in the Court that were consolidated into the Consolidated Securities Action on June 3, 2014. The plaintiffs in the Consolidated Securities Action allege that the defendants made false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects. They allege violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and seek to certify a class of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Conn's common stock or call options, or sold or wrote Conn's put options between April 3, 2013 and December 9, 2014.

In addition, we are involved in other routine litigation and claims, incidental to our business from time to time which, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on us. As required, we accrue estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. However, the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and changes in facts and circumstances could impact our estimate of reserves for litigation.

Under the terms of the respective securitization transactions, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables go first to the servicer and the holders of the asset-backed notes, and then to the residual equity holder. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and receive a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables, and we currently hold all of the residual equity. In addition, we, rather than the VIEs, will retain certain credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and repair service agreementsRSAs on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which will continue to be reflected as a reduction of net charge-offs on a consolidated basis for as long as we consolidate the VIEs.
We consolidate VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs and our obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns are significant.

The following financial information presents the condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows for Conn's, Inc. (the issuer of the Senior Notes), the Guarantors, and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, together with certain eliminations. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company using the equity method for purposes of this presentation.

Provision for bad debts for the three months ended October 31, 2017 was $56.5 million, an increase of $4.9 million from the comparable prior-year period. The most significant reasons for the increase in the provision for bad debts for the three months ended October 31, 2017 comparedincreased to the three months ended October 31, 2016 were
| |
i. | growth in the customer receivables portfolio in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to a decline in the three months ended October 31, 2016, |
| |
ii. | higher net-charge offs in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2016, and |
| |
iii. | an increase in the qualitative reserve related to Hurricane Harvey of $1.1 million, partially offset by |
| |
iv. | a decrease in our estimated TDR loss rate as a result of improvements in TDR delinquency rates. |
Interest expense decreased to $18.1$27.2 million for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017, compared to $23.52022 from $10.3 million for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2021, an overall change of $16.9 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily reflectingdriven by a smaller decrease in the allowance for bad debts during the three months ended July 31, 2022 compared to the decrease for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and a year-over-year increase in net charge-offs of $4.9 million. The decrease in the allowance for bad debts during the three months ended July 31, 2022 was primarily driven by a decrease in the customer account receivable portfolio balance and an improvement in historical loss rates. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the rate of delinquencies and re-ages, a decrease in the customer account receivable portfolio balance and an improvement in the forecasted unemployment rate that drove a $5.0 million decrease in the economic adjustment.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
Senior management focuses on certain key indicators to monitor our performance including:
•Same store sales - Our management considers same store sales, which consists of $3.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share,both brick and mortar and e-commerce sales, to be an important indicator of our performance because they reflect our attempts to leverage our SG&A costs, which include rent and other store expenses, and they have a direct impact on our total net sales, net income, cash and working capital. Same store sales is calculated by comparing the reported sales for all stores that were open during both comparative fiscal years, starting in the first period in which the store has been open for a full quarter. Sales from closed stores, if any, are removed from each period. Sales from relocated stores have been included net pre-tax chargesin each period if each such store was relocated within the same general geographic market. Sales from expanded stores have also been included in each period.
•Retail gross margin - Our management views retail gross margin as a key indicator of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to legal and professional fees relatedour performance because it reflects our pricing power relative to the explorationprices we pay for our products. Retail gross margin is calculated by comparing retail total net sales to the cost of strategic alternativesgoods sold.
•60+ Day Delinquencies - Our management views customer account delinquencies as a key indicator of our performance because it reflects the quality of our credit portfolio, drives future credit performance and securities-related litigation, impairmentcredit offerings, and impacts the interest rates we pay on disposals, facility close costs,our asset-backed securitizations. Delinquencies are measured as the percentage of balances that are 60+ days past due.
•Net yield - Our management considers yield to be a key performance metric because it drives future credit decisions and executive management transition costs.credit offerings and directly impacts our net income. Yield reflects the amount of interest we receive from our portfolio.
Company Initiatives
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, we demonstrated the resiliency of our business model and the significant value we provide our customers as we quickly recovered from the impact of Hurricane Harvey. Despite the challenges caused by Hurricane Harvey, we maintained our focus on enhancing our credit platform to improve near-term results and to support the pursuit of the Company’s long-term growth objectives. Retail performance and margin remain strong, demonstrating our differentiated business model. We continue to see the benefit in our credit operations from the structural changes we are making to increase yield, reduce losses and improve overall credit performance. We delivered the following financial and operational results in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal year 2018:2023 as compared to the prior fiscal year period (unless otherwise noted):
Achieved•Total consolidated revenue declined 17.1% to $346.6 million, due to a 19.4% decline in total net sales, and a 6.3% reduction in finance charges and other revenues;

Strategic Update
In response to challenging macroeconomic pressures, the Company has updated its near-term strategic priorities which contributedinclude:
•Reducing operating costs. The Company is conducting an extensive review and prioritization of its cost structure. The Company expects current initiatives, combined with prior actions, to our sixth consecutive quartergenerate cost savings of incremental yield improvement. Ourapproximately $12.0 - $16.0 million in the back half of this fiscal year.
•Lowering capital expenditures. The Company is delaying or eliminating several planned capital investments, including adjusting planned new store openings and distribution center expansions. As a result, Conn’s expects to reduce investments in capital expenditures for fiscal year 2023 by approximately $20.0 million compared to its prior expectation.
•Maintaining conservative credit underwriting. The Company is focused on maintaining conservative credit underwriting and remaining disciplined in its approach to credit collections. At July 31, 2022, the weighted average origination loan yield increased to 27.9% in the third quartercredit score of fiscal year 2018 from 24.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, an increase of over 300 basis points;
Reduced, year-over-year, the balance of accounts 60outstanding balances was 611, 60+ days past due balances as a percentage of the total customer receivables portfolio to 9.9% at October 31, 2017 fromcarrying value was 11.0% at October 31, 2016;
Increased retail gross margin for, and re-aged balances as percentages of the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 to 39.8%, an increase of over 230 basis points compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 rate of 37.5%, driven primarily by improved product margins across all product categories, favorable product mix, and continued focus on increasing efficiencies;
Completed the early redemption of our 2016-A Redeemed Notes on August 15, 2017, which contributed to a $1.9 million reduction in interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and a $5.4 million reduction compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2017; and
Increased sales financed with the lease-to-own product offered through Progressive Leasing, which we offer to our customers who do not qualify for our proprietary credit programs, to 5.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 from 3.8% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.
We believe that we are positioned to prudently execute our long-term growth strategy and reduce financial and operational risk while enhancing shareholder value. We continue to execute on the following strategic priorities for fiscal year 2018:
Implement our direct loan program offering to further enhance our yield;
Continue to refine and enhance our underwriting model and focus on our collection operations to reduce delinquency rates and future charge-offs to improve future credit segment performance;
Lower our cost of funds;
Optimize our mix of quality, branded products and reduce warehouse, delivery and transportation costs to increase our retail gross margin;
Maintain focus on cost control of our SG&A expenses; and
Open three new stores, all of whichtotal customer portfolio carrying value were successfully opened during the first half of fiscal year 2018.

Supplementary Operating Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities and for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. We are a leading specialty retailer and offer a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to a proprietary credit solution for our core credit-constrained consumers. We have two operating segments: (i) retail and (ii) credit. Our operating segments complement one another. The retail segment operates primarily through our stores and website and its product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit segment offers affordable financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit-constrained consumers who typically have limited credit alternatives. Our operating segments provide customers the opportunity to comparison shop across brands with confidence
in our competitive prices as well as affordable monthly payment options, next day delivery and installation in the majority of our markets, and product repair service. We believe our large, attractively merchandised retail stores and credit solutions offer a distinctive value proposition compared to other retailers that target our core customer demographic. The operating segments follow the same accounting policies used in our consolidated financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We evaluate a segment’s performance based upon operating income before taxes. Selling, general and administrative expenses include(loss). SG&A includes the direct expenses of the retail and credit operations, allocated corporate overhead expenses, and a charge to the credit segment to reimburse the retail segment for expenses it incurs related to occupancy, personnel, advertising and other direct costs of the retail segment which benefit the credit operations by sourcing credit customers and collecting payments. The reimbursement received by the retail segment from the credit segment is estimatedcalculated using an annual rate of 2.5% multiplied by the average outstanding portfolio balance for each applicable period.
The following table represents total revenues, costs and expenses, operating income (loss) and income (loss) before taxes attributable to these operating segments for the periods indicated:

Customer Accounts Receivable Portfolio
We provide in-house financing to individual consumers on a short- and medium-term basis (contractual terms generally range from 12 to 36 months) for the purchase of durable products for the home. A significant portion of our customer credit portfolio is due from customers that are considered higher-risk, subprime borrowers. Our financing is executed using contracts that require fixed monthly payments over fixed terms. We maintain a secured interest in the product financed. If a payment is delayed, missed or paid only in part, the account becomes delinquent. Our collection personnel attempt to contact a customer once their account becomes delinquent. Our loan contracts generally provide forreflect an interest at the maximum rate allowed by the respective regulations in the states in which we operate, which generally rangeof between 18% and 30%36%. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, weWe have implemented our new direct consumer loan program across all Texas, locations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we implemented our new direct loan program in all Louisiana, locations. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, we implemented our new direct loan program in all Tennessee and Oklahoma locations. The states of Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Oklahoma representrepresented approximately 78%69% of our third quarter of fiscal year 2018 originations which under our previous offerings had aduring the six months ended July 31, 2022, with maximum equivalent interest rate of approximately 21%, compared to an interest raterates of up to 32% in Oklahoma, up to 30% under our new direct loan programs.in Texas and Tennessee, and up to 36% in Louisiana. In states where regulations do not generally limit the interest rate charged, we increased our rates inloan contracts generally reflect an interest rate between 29.99% and 35.99%. These states represented 14% of our originations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 to 29.99%.six months ended July 31, 2022.
We offer 12- and 18-month cash-option,qualified customers a 12-month no-interest option finance programs.program. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest option program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and none of the interest earned is waived.
We regularly extend or "re-age"“re-age” a portion of our delinquent customer accounts as a part of our normal collection procedures to protect our investment. Generally, extensions are granted to customers who have experienced a financial difficulty (such as the temporary loss of employment), which is subsequently resolved, and when the customer indicates a willingness and ability to resume making monthly payments. These re-ages involve modifying the payment terms to defer a portion of the cash payments currently required of the debtor to help the debtor improve his or her financial condition and eventually be able to pay the account balance. Our re-aging of customer accounts does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer and typically does not reduce the monthly contractual payments. We may also charge the customer an extension fee, which approximates the interest owed for the time period the contract was past due. As partOur re-age programs consist of our re-age program, we have straight extension programsextensions and two payment update programs,updates, which also include unilateral extensions to customers who make two full payments in three calendar months in certain states. Re-ages are not granted to debtors who demonstrate a lack of intent or ability to service the obligation or have reached our limits for account re-aging. The re-aged receivable balance as of October 31, 2017 includes $71.8 million in first time re-ages related to customers within FEMA-designated Hurricane Harvey disaster areas. To a much lesser extent, we may provide the customer the ability to re-age their obligation by refinancing the account, which typically does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer but does reduce the monthly contractual payments and extends the term. Under these options, as with extensions, the customer must resolve the reason for delinquency and show a willingness and ability to resume making contractual monthly payments.

DuringThis increase is due to a shift in the underwriting strategy that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 we shifted our 18- and 24-month equal-payment, no-interest programs to a third-party and reduced the availability of cash-option, no-interest programs to higher risk customers. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 we began to issue 18 month cash-option, no-interest program. As a result, a decline in the proportion of accounts financed under no-interest programs is likely to result in an increase in the overall yield recognized.2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require liquidity and capital resources to finance our operations and future growth as we add new stores to our operations, which in turn requires additional working capital for increased customer receivables and inventory. We generally finance our operations through a combination of cash flow generated from operations, the use of our revolving credit facility,Revolving Credit Facility, and through periodic securitizations of originated customer receivables. We plan to execute periodic securitizations of future originated customer receivables.
We believe, based on our current projections, that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to fund our operations, store expansion and renovation activities, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Operating cash flows. For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $82.7$62.8 million compared to $183.0$176.9 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2021. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increaselower cash collections compared to prior year due to lower payment rates, normal fluctuation in cash used for working capital primarily used to purchase inventory related to seasonal sales activity,accrued expenses and a decrease in cash used for accounts payable, a decrease in the amount of tenant improvement allowances received, partially offset by a decrease in cash used to fund customer receivables, and an increase in net income when adjusted for non-cash activity.activity in comparison to the prior year period.

Stock Repurchase Program. On December 14, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to us of approximately $1.0 billion, net of transaction costs and restricted cash held bywhich we had the 2016-A VIE, which were usedauthorization to pay down the balance on our revolving credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.
Senior Notes. On July 1, 2014, we issued $250.0repurchase up to $150 million of our outstanding common stock. The stock repurchase program expires on December 14, 2022. No shares were repurchased for the unsecured Senior Notes duethree months ended July 31, 2022. For the six months ended July 31, 2022, bearing interest at 7.25% (the "Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated July 1, 2014 (the "Indenture"), among Conn's, Inc., its subsidiary guarantors (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The effective interest ratewe settled the repurchase of the Senior Notes after giving effect to the discount and issuance costs is 7.8%.
The Indenture restricts the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock ("restricted payments"); (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the notes; (iv) make loans and certain investments; (v) sell assets; (vi) incur liens; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all3,462,848 shares of our assets. These covenants are subject to a numbercommon stock at an average weighted cost per share of important exceptions and qualifications. Specifically, limitations on restricted payments are only effective if one or more of the following occurred: (1) a default were to exist under the Indenture, (2) we could not satisfy a debt incurrence test, and (3) the$20.70 for an aggregate amount of restricted payments were to exceed an amount tied to consolidated net income. These limitations, however, are subject to two exceptions: (1) an exception that permits the payment$71.7 million.
Table of up to $375.0 million in restricted payments, and (2) an exception that permits restricted payments regardless of dollar amount so long as, after giving pro forma effect to the dividends and other restricted payments, we would have had a leverage ratio, as defined under the Indenture, of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0. As a result of these exceptions, as of October 31, 2017, $179.2 million would have been free from the distribution restriction. However, as a result of the revolving credit facility distribution restrictions, which are further described below, we were restricted from making a distribution as of October 31, 2017. During any time when the Senior Notes are ratedContents
investment grade by either of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and we will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.
Events of default under the Indenture include customary events, such as a cross-acceleration provision in the event that we fail to make payment of other indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period or upon acceleration of indebtedness prior to its stated maturity date in an amount exceeding $25.0 million, as well as in the event a judgment is entered against us in excess of $25.0 million that is not discharged, bonded or insured.
Asset-backed Notes. During fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016,From time to time, we securitizedsecuritize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. In turn, the VIEs issuedissue asset-backed notes secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by the VIEs.
Under the terms of the securitization transactions, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables go first to the servicer and the holders of issued notes, and then to us as the holder of non-issued notes, if any, and residual equity. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolios and receive a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables. In addition, we, rather than the VIEs, retain all credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and repair service agreementsRSAs on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which are reflected as a reduction to net charge-offs on a consolidated basis.
The asset-backed notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.1933. If an event of default were to occur under the indenture that governs the respective asset-backed notes, the payment of the outstanding amounts may be accelerated, in which event the cash proceeds of the receivables that otherwise might be released to the residual equity holder would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the asset-backed notes, or if the receivables are liquidated, all liquidation proceeds could be directed solely to repayment of the asset-backed notes as governed by the respective terms of the asset-backed notes. The holders of the asset-backed notes have no recourse to assets outside of the VIEs. Events of default include, but are not limited to, failure to make required payments on the asset-backed notes or specified bankruptcy-related events.

The covenants are calculated quarterly, except for the Cash Recovery Percent, which is calculated monthly on a trailing three-month basis, and Capital Expenditures,capital expenditures, which is calculated for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
Capital expenditures. Expenditures. We lease the majority of our stores under operating leases and our plans for future store locations include primarilyanticipate operating leases, but do not exclude store ownership. Our capital expenditures for future new store projects should primarily be for our tenant improvements to the property leased (including any new distribution centers and cross-dock facilities), the cost of which is estimated to be between $1.3$1.5 million and $1.5$2.5 million per store (before tenant improvement allowances), and for our existing store remodels, estimated to range between $0.5 million and $1.0 million per store remodel, depending on store size.. In the event we purchase existing properties, our capital expenditures will depend on the particular property and whether it is improved when purchased. We are continuously reviewing new relationships and funding sources and alternatives for new stores, which may include "sale-leaseback"“sale-leaseback” or direct "purchase-lease"“purchase-lease” programs, as well as other funding sources for our purchase and construction of those projects. If we do not purchase the real property for new stores, our direct cash needs should include only our capital expenditures for tenant improvements to leased properties and our remodel programs for existing stores. We have opened threetwo new standalone stores and four new store-within-a-store locations with Belk, Inc. during fiscal year 2018. We do notthe six months ended July 31, 2022 and currently plan to open any additional stores during fiscal year 2018.a total of 10 to 12 standalone locations and 15 to 20 store-within-a-store locations. Our anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 20182023 are between $13.0$37.5 million and $17.0 million.$47.5 million, which includes expenditures for new stores we plan to open in fiscal year 2023.
Cash Flow
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of inventory levels, expansion plans, debt service requirements and other operating cash needs. To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of operating expenses, funding of capital expenditures and repayment of debt, we rely primarily on cash from operations. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2022, beyond cash generated from operations, we had (i) immediately available borrowing capacity of $110.5$186.8 million under our revolving credit facility,Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) $284.8 million that may become available under our revolving credit facility if we grow the balance of eligible customer receivables and our total eligible inventory balances and (iii) $12.7$24.3 million of cash on hand. However, we have, in the past, sought to raise additional capital.
We expect that, for the next 12 months, cash generated from operations, proceeds from potential accounts receivable securitizations and our revolving credit facilityRevolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to provide us the ability to fund our operations, provide the increased working capital necessary to support our strategy and fund planned capital expenditures discussed above in Capital expendituresExpenditures.
We may repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position. These actions could include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired, if any, will depend on market conditions, the Company’s cash position, compliance with debt covenantcovenants and restrictions and other considerations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
LoansITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We have not been materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as substantially all of our business is transacted in, and is expected to continue to be transacted in, U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar-based currencies. Our asset-backed notes bear interest at a fixed rate and would not be affected by interest rate changes.
During the six months ended July 31, 2022, loans under the revolving credit facility bearRevolving Credit Facility bore interest, at our option, at a rate equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin at 3.50% for LIBOR loans and 2.50% for base rate loans until the Company demonstrates an interest coverage ratio of equal to or greater than 1.10x for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2017, at which point the applicable margin will revert to being determined according to the existing pricing grid based on facility availability which specifies a margin ranging from 2.75%2.50% to 3.25% per annum (depending on quarterly average net availability under the borrowing base) or thea pricing grid determined by our total leverage ratio). The alternate base rate plus a margin ranging
from 1.75%1.50% to 2.25% per annum (depending on quarterly average net availability under the borrowing base)a pricing grid determined by our total leverage ratio). The alternate base rate is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of the prime rate, announced by Bank of America, N.A., the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR for a 30-day interest period plus 1.0%. We also pay an unused fee on the portion of the commitments that is available for future borrowing or letters of credit at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the average outstanding balance and letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility in the immediately preceding quarter. Accordingly, changes in our quarterly average net availability under the borrowing basetotal leverage ratio and LIBOR or the alternate base rate will affect the interest rate on, and therefore our costs under, the revolving credit facility.Revolving Credit Facility.
