The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”),GAAP, and with the accounting policies described in its Annual Report2019 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on Form 10-KMarch 9, 2020. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the year endedending December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 18, 2019 ("2018 Form 10-K"). 2020.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. Additionally, in September 2018, and subsequently expanded in June 2019,the Company qualifies as an SRC as defined by the SEC, changed the definition of a smaller reporting company ("SRC").

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced in late 2019 and has subsequently spread worldwide, including to the U.S. and Canada. On February 25, 2019,March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Macroeconomic conditions, in general, and the Company's United Kingdom ("U.K.") operations were placed into administration,have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or the scope or magnitude of its near-term or long-term impact. In response, various governmental bodies have issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work. However, CURO's operations have been designated as essential financial services by federal guidelines and local regulations. As a provider of an essential service, the Company remains focused on protecting the health and wellbeing of its employees, customers and the communities in which resultedit operates while assuring the continuity of its business operations. While CURO continues serving its customers through both store and online channels, store hours are reduced, enhanced cleaning protocols for all facilities are in treatmentplace, and social distancing guidelines are in effect to aid in combating the spread of the segment as discontinued operationspandemic.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act, which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions, and provides a payment delay of employer payroll taxes during 2020 after the date of enactment. The Company expects to delay payment of employer payroll taxes otherwise due in 2020 with 50% due by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% by December 31, 2022.

Refer to Note 7, "Income Taxes" for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), current and prior period financial information is presented as if the U.K. segment was excluded from continuing operations. For further information aboutCARES Act impact to the placementCompany's provision for income taxes.

In light of COVID-19, the Company also considered implications of the segment into administration, referpandemic on its estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2020. After review of the information available regarding conditions as of March 31, 2020, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses, as disclosed in Note 3, "Loans and Receivable and Revenue." The increase in volatility of foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, as a result of COVID-19 and other factors such as oil price volatility, had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Gross loans receivable in Canada decreased $26.5 million, or 8.7%, as a result of fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate from December 31, 2019 to "--Nature of Operations" below.March 31, 2020 between the U.S dollar and Canadian dollar.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CURO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Ad Astra Acquisition
On January 3, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Ad Astra, a related party, for total consideration of $14.4 million, net of cash received. Prior to the acquisition, Ad Astra was the Company's exclusive provider of third-party collection services for owned and managed loans in the U.S. that are in later-stage delinquency. Ad Astra, now a wholly-owned subsidiary, is included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the acquisition, all costs related to Ad Astra were included in "Other costs of providing services." Following the acquisition, operating costs for Ad Astra are included within "Corporate, district and other expenses," consistent with presentation of other internal collection costs. See Note 17, "Acquisition" for further information.
U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company placed its U.K. segment into administration, which resulted in the treatment of the U.K. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Form 10-Q, current and prior period financial information is presented on a continuing operations basis, excluding the results and positions of the U.K. segment. See Note 15, "Discontinued Operations" for additional information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as those posed by COVID-19, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported.presented. Some of the significant estimates that the Company made in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for loan losses, certain assumptions related to equity investments, goodwill and intangibles, accruals related to self-insurance, credit services organization ("CSO")CSO liability for losses and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Nature of OperationsGoodwill

CUROThe annual impairment review for goodwill, done on October 1, consists of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a growth-oriented, technology-enabled, highly-diversified consumer finance company servingreporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount as a wide rangebasis for determining whether or not further testing is required. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the two-step process, for any reporting unit, in any period. The Company can resume the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any subsequent period. If the Company determines, on the basis of underbanked consumers inqualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the United States ("U.S."), Canada,fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the Company will then apply a two-step process of (i) determining the fair value of the reporting unit and through February 25,(ii) comparing it to the carrying value of the net assets allocated to the reporting unit. When performing the two-step process, if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis or write-down of goodwill is required. In the event the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss equal to such excess, which could significantly and adversely impact reported results of operations and stockholders’ equity.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the U.K.

Company performed a quantitative assessment for the U.S. and Canada reporting units. Management concluded that the estimated fair values of these two reporting units were greater than their respective carrying values. Due to COVID-19, the Company determined that a goodwill impairment evaluation triggering event occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020. After performing an interim review of impairment as of March 31, 2020, both reporting units continue to have estimated fair values greater than their respective carrying values.

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019, would not be implemented. In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries, Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively, “the U.K. Subsidiaries”), insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration wasRefer to place their management, affairs, business and property under the direct control of the Administrators. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries as of February 25, 2019 and presented the U.K. Subsidiaries as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q.

Open-End Loss Recognition

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company modified the timeframe for which it charges-off Open-End loans and made related refinements to its loss provisioning methodology. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company deemed Open-End loans uncollectible and charged-off when a customer missed a scheduled payment and the loan was considered past due. Because of the continuing shift to Open-End loans in Canada and analysis of payment patterns on early-stage versus late-stage delinquencies, the Company revised its estimates and now considers Open-End loans uncollectible when the loan has been contractually past-due for 90 consecutive days. Consequently, past due Open-End loans and related accrued interest now remain in loans receivable for 90 days before being charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. All recoveries on charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively effective January 1, 2019.

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of June 30, 2019 include $35.4 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for periods prior to March 31, 2019 do not include any past due loans.

Revenues:Note 16, "Goodwill" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, gross revenues include interest earned on past-due loan balances of approximately $12 million and $21 million, respectively, while revenues in prior-year periods do not include comparable amounts.further information.

Provision for Losses: prospectively, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by total charge-offs less total recoveries ("NCOs") plus changes to the Allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs prospectively include unpaid principal and up to 90 days of related accrued interest, NCO amounts and rates are higher and the Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable is higher. The Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable increased to 18.3% at June 30, 2019, compared to 10.7% in the same prior-year period.

Correction of Immaterial Errors in Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company corrected immaterial errors to its prior presentation of cash flows for loan originations and collections on principal. The Company determined that the historical presentation was in error by not conforming to US GAAP because it included outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections in Cash provided by operating activities rather than in Cash used in investing activities. Accordingly the Company corrected previously filed financial statements by reclassifying cash outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections of principal of $48.2 million from net Cash provided by operating activities to net Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Total cash flows for each period presented did not change. The Company concluded that the errors were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company has revised its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 presented in this Form 10-Q. A summary of the correction follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-022018-15

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, which provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach.
Due to the adoption of the new standard, the right of use assets ("ROU assets") and additional operating lease liabilities ("lease liabilities") as of June 30, 2019 were $141.0 million and $148.8 million, respectively. Prepaid rent of $2.7 million and deferred liability of $10.9 million were included in ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings. See Note 14 - "Leases" for additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842.

ASU 2018-12

In FebruaryAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,2018-15, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): ReclassificationCustomer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the non-cancellable term of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive income ("ASU 2018-02"), which permits the reclassificationcloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (i) that are reasonably certain to retained earnings of disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) causedbe exercised by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Actcustomer or (ii) for which exercise of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act").the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The Company adopted ASU 2018-022018-15 on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2019,2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2018-13

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Related to the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") Standard

ASU 2016-13

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and subsequent amendments to the guidance: ASU 2018-19 in November 2018, ASU 2019-04 in April 2019, and ASU 2019-05 in May 2019.2019, ASU 2019-10 and 11 in November 2019, and ASU 2020-02 in February 2020. The standard, as amended, changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they currently do under the other-than-temporary impairment model. The standard also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The amendment will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2019-04 clarifies that equity instruments without readily determinable fair values for which an entity has elected the measurement alternative should be remeasured to fair value as of the date that an observable transaction occurred. ASU 2019-05 provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. ASU 2019-10 amends the mandatory effective date for ASU 2016-13. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for entities that are eligible to be defined by the SEC as a SRC, for which the Company qualifies. ASU 2019-11 provides clarity and improves the codification to ASU 2016-13. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. As issued, this ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating its alternatives with respect to the available accounting methods under ASU 2016‑2016 13, including the fair value option. If the fair value option is not utilized, adoption of ASU 2016-13 will increase the allowance for credit losses with a resulting negative adjustment to retained earnings on the date of adoption. Additionally,The Company does not expect to adopt ASU 2016-13 until at least January 1, 2021 as disclosed below, thepermitted under ASU 2019-10. The Company is evaluatingcurrently assessing the impact of the FASB's definition of a SRC to the adoption of ASU 2016-13.2016-13 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2020-01

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (ASU 2020-01). ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-01 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-052020-04

In MayMarch 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by this reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-12

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which amends2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” (Topic 740). The ASU 2016-13intends to allow companiessimplify various aspects related to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (i) were previously recorded at amortized costaccounting for income taxes and (ii) are within the scope of ASC 326-203 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019-05’s amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustmentremoves certain exceptions to the opening balance of retained earningsgeneral principles in the statementstandard. Additionally, the ASU clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of financial position asits requirements.

For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. An entity may early adopt the ASU in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date for ASU 2016-13. We are currently evaluating the methods and impact of adopting this new standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-04

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments. The ASU’s amendments apply to all entities within the scope of the affected guidance. Accrued interest - Amortized cost basis is defined in ASU 2016-13 as "the amount at which a financing receivable or investment is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accrued interest, accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, write-offs, foreign exchange, and fair value hedge accounting adjustments". To address stakeholders’ concerns that the inclusion of accrued interest in the definition of amortized cost basis could make application of the credit loss guidance operationally burdensome, ASU 2019-04 provides certain alternatives for the measurement of the allowance for credit losses (ALL) on accrued interest receivable (AIR). These measurement alternatives include (1) measuring an ALL on AIR separately, (2) electing to provide separate disclosure of the AIR component of amortized cost as a practical expedient, and (3) making accounting policy elections to simplify certain aspects of the presentation and measurement of such AIR. As issued, for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-04 related to ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, and interim periods therein. ASU 2019-04’s amendments should be applied "on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date an entity adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13." Certain disclosures are also required. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-13.

FASB Definition of a Smaller Reporting Company ("SRC") as related to the CECL standard and evaluation of the impact of the CECL standard

On July 17, 2019, the FASB issued for a 30-day comment period a draft proposal that would reconsider its philosophy for establishing effective dates for major projects for certain classes of companies, including SRCs. Under current SEC definitions, CURO meets the definition of an SRC as of June 30, 2019.within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The proposed standard would defer required adoption of the CECL standard for SRCs until fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor the standard setting activities of the FASB and evaluate their potential impact on the adoption of accounting standards such as ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2019-04. We are currently evaluating the methods and impact of adopting the CECL standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEC Disclosure Update
In August 2018, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that had become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded.

over the loss-development period. The Company has maintained its historical allowance approach, but has adjusted future loss estimates for an increase in past-due gross loans receivable due to adverse market conditions at March 31, 2020 caused by COVID-19. The estimates and assumptions used to determine an appropriate allowance for loan losses and liability for losses on CSO lender-owned consumer loans are those that are available through the filing of this Form 10-Q and which are indicative of conditions occurring as of March 31, 2020. As a result of future loss estimates due to uncertainty caused by COVID-19, and the related impact to past due loans receivable as of March 31, 2020, CURO has determined an additional $12.0 million allowance for loan loss was required.

The Company intends to reinvest Canada earnings indefinitely in its Canadian operations and therefore has not provided for any non-U.S. withholding tax that would be assessed on dividend distributions. If the earnings of $159.3$153.8 million were distributed to the U.S., the Company would be subject to Canadian withholding taxes of an estimated $8.0$7.7 million. In the event the earnings

NOTE 8 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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. The Company is required to use valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on observable market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the Company's own estimate about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Accounting standards establish a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are listed below.

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

Loans receivable are carried on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of the Allowance for estimated loan losses. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the carrying values include quantitative factors, such as current default trends. Also considered in evaluating the accuracy of the models are changes to the loan portfolio mix, the impact of new loan products, changes to underwriting criteria or lending policies, new store development or entrance into new markets, changes in jurisdictional regulations or laws, recent credit trends and general economic conditions. The carrying value of loans receivable approximates their fair value. Refer to Note 3, "Loans Receivable and Revenue" for additional information.

Potential shares of common stock that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share or decreasing diluted loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating "Diluted earnings per share." For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, there were 1.3 million and 1.21.4 million, respectively, of potential shares of common stock excluded from the calculation of dilutedDiluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. There was no effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company utilizes the "control number" concept in the computation of Diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing dilutedDiluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories.

NOTE 13 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIESCOMMITMENTS AND CONTENGENCIES
Securities Litigation

On December 5, 2018, a putative securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, captioned Yellowdog Partners, LP v. CURO Group Holdings Corp., Donald F. Gayhardt, William Baker and Roger W. Dean, Civil Action No. 18-2662. On May 31, 2019, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint naming Doug Rippel, Chad Faulkner, Mike McKnight, Friedman Fleischer & Lowe Capital Partners II, L.P., FFL Executive Partners II, L.P., and FFL Parallel Fund II, L.P. as additional defendants. The complaint alleges that the Company and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and that certain defendants also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as "control persons" of CURO. Plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on behalf of a class of investors who purchased Company common stock between April 27, 2018 and October 24, 2018.

Plaintiffs allege generally that, during the putative class period, the Company made misleading statements and omitted material information regarding its efforts to transition the Canadian inventory of products from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans. Plaintiffs assert that the Company and the individual defendants made these misstatements and omissions to keep the stock price high. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and other relief.

While the Company is vigorously contesting this lawsuit, it cannot determine the final resolution or when it might be resolved. In addition to the expenses incurred in defending this litigation and any damages that may be awarded in the event of an adverse ruling, management’s efforts and attention may be diverted from the ordinary business operations to address these claims. Regardless of the outcome, this litigation may have a material adverse impact on results because of defense costs, including costs related to indemnification obligations, diversion of resources and other factors.

TheDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company has also received an inquiry from the SEC regarding the Company's public disclosures surrounding its efforts to transition the Canadian inventory of products from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans.

City of Austin

The Company was cited in July 2016 by the City of Austin, Texas for alleged violations of the Austin ordinance addressing products offered by CSOs. The Austin ordinance regulates aspects of products offered under the Company's credit access bureau ("CAB")CAB program, including loan sizes and repayment terms. The Company believes that: (i) the Austin ordinance (similar to its counterparts elsewhere in Texas) conflicts with Texas state law and (ii) in any event, the Company's product complies with the ordinance, when the ordinance is properly construed. The Austin Municipal Court agreed with the Company's position that the ordinance conflicts with Texas law and, accordingly, did not address the second argument. In September 2017, the Travis County Court reversed the Municipal Court’s decision and remanded the case for further proceedings. To date, a hearing and trial on the merits have not been scheduled. The Company does not anticipate having a final determination of the lawfulness of its CAB program under the Austin ordinance (and similar ordinances in other Texas cities) in the near future. A final adverse decision could potentially result in material monetary liability

in Austin and elsewhere in Texas, and would force the Company to restructure the loans it originates in Austin and elsewhere in Texas.

Other Legal Matters
The Company is a defendant in certain litigation matters encountered from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance. InWhile it is difficult to predict the opinionoutcome of management, based uponany particular proceeding, the advice of legal counsel,Company does not believe the likelihood is remote that the impactresult of any of these pending litigation matters either individually or in the aggregate, wouldwill have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition,business, results of operations or cash flows.financial condition.

NOTE 14 – LEASES

The CompanyOperating leases entered into operatingby the Company are primarily for retail stores in certain U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Leases classified as finance are immaterial to the Company as of March 31, 2020. Operating leases for the buildings in which it operates that expire at various times through 2040.2032. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in "Right of use asset - operating leases" and "Lease liability - operating leases" inon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently has finance leases which in the aggregate are immaterial and not presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Typically, a contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both (i) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and (ii) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. If the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for only a portion of the term of the contract, the contract contains a lease for that portion of the term.

The Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The rate implicit in the Company's leases typically are not readily determinable. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return,a result, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement dateas allowed by ASC 842, in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is based on internal and external information available at the lease commencement date and is determined using a portfolio approach (i.e. using the weighted average terms of all leases in the Company's portfolio). This rate is the theoretical rate the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term as that of the portfolio.

CURO GROUP HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
The Company uses quoted interest rates obtained from financial institutions as an input, adjusted for Company specific factors, to derive the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the leases. As new leases are added each period, the Company evaluates whether the incremental borrowing rate has changed. If the incremental borrowing rate has changed, the Company will apply the rate to new leases if not doing so would result in a material difference to the ROU asset and lease liability presented on the balance sheet.

The majority of the leases have an original term of five years with two five-year renewal options. ForThe consumer price index is used in determining future lease payments and for purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Most of the leases have escalation clauses and severalcertain leases also require payment of certain period costs, including maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Some of the leases are with related parties and have terms similar to the non-related party leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company had operating lease costs of approximately $17.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2019. Some of the leases are with related parties and have terms similar to the non-related party leases previously described. Operating lease costs for unrelated third-party leases were $15.3 million and for related party leases were $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the liabilities and the operating cash flows were $17.4 million.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that began during the three months ended March 31, 2020, CURO reviewed ROU assets for indicators of impairment. Under US GAAP, the model used to review ROU assets for impairment is consistent to that used for other long-lived assets, such as fixed assets. In applying the appropriate guidance, the Company noted there was no indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2020 related to its ROU assets.

NOTE 15 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boardsBoards of directorsDirectors of the U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as Administrators for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place their management, affairs, business and property of the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries, which comprised the U.K. reportable operating segment, as of February 25, 2019 and classified them as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented.

The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment (the Company has elected to annually test for potential impairment of goodwill on October 1) and more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. The indicators include, among others, declines in sales, earning or cash flows or the development of a material adverse change in business climate. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which meetis defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a reporting unit.

U.S. and Canada Reporting Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred for the U.S. and Canada reporting units as a result of COVID-19. The global crisis caused by the pandemic drove significant declines in macroeconomic market conditions and altered the assumptions used in the Company's forecast for both reporting units. After performing an interim review, the Company concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of its respective carrying value.

Ad Astra Acquisition

The Company completed the acquisition of Ad Astra on January 3, 2020. Goodwill of $14.8 million was recorded on the U.S. reporting unit during the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the excess of the purchase price of the business combination over the fair value of the acquired net assets. See Note 17, "Acquisition" for more information related to the business combination.

NOTE 17 – ACQUISITION

On January 3, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Ad Astra, a related party, for total consideration of $14.4 million, net of cash received. Prior to the acquisition, Ad Astra was the Company's exclusive provider of third-party collection services for owned and managed loans in the U.S. that are in later-stage delinquency.
The Company began consolidating the financial results of continuing operations:

NOTE 16 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In August 2018, CGHC issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due September 1, 2025. The proceeds from issuance of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes were used to extinguish the February and November 2017 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2022. The redemption was conducted pursuant to the indenture governing the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. See Note 5, "Long-Term Debt," for additional details.

In August 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the "Canada SPV Borrower") and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provided for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million ("Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility"). See Note 5. "Long-Term Debt" for additional details.

In March 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The redemption was conducted pursuant to the indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes, dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent. Consistent with the terms of the Indenture, CFTC used a portion of the cash proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, to redeem the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes.

In November 2017, CFTC issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 12.00% Senior Secured Notes in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the "Additional Notes Offering"). CFTC used the proceeds from the Additional Notes Offering, together with available cash, to (i) pay a cash dividend, in an amount of $140.0 million to the Company, CFTC’s sole stockholder, and ultimately the Company's stockholders and (ii) pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the Additional Notes Offering. CFTC received the consent of the holders of a majority of

Overview

We are a growth-oriented, technology-enabled, highly-diversified, multi-channel and multi-product consumer finance company serving a wide range of underbanked consumers in the United States ("U.S."), Canada and through February 25, 2019, the United Kingdom ("U.K.").Canada.

History

CURO was founded in 1997 to meet the growing needs of underbanked consumers looking for access to credit. With more than 20 years of experience, we seek to offer a variety of convenient, easily-accessible financial and loan services in all of our markets.

CURO Financial Technologies Corp., previously known as Speedy Cash Holdings Corp. ("CFTC"), was incorporated in Delaware in July 2008. CURO Group Holdings Corp., previously known as Speedy Group Holdings Corp., was incorporated in Delaware in 2013 as the parent company of CFTC.

The term "CFTC" refers to CURO Financial Technologies Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

Our growth has been fueled by acquisitions inIn the U.S., our stores operate under "Speedy Cash" and Canada, as well as organically, including"Rapid Cash." In the launchsecond quarter of new brands. Recent brand launches include the March 2016 launch of LendDirect, a primarily online Installment and Open-End brand in Alberta, Canada, the June 2017, launch of Aviowe launched "Avio Credit," an online Installment and Open-End Loan brand in the U.S. market that is currently available in 11 states, and the February 2019 launch of Revolve Finance, discussed immediately below.

Recent Developments

Revolve Finance. brand. In February 2019, we launched Revolve Finance, sponsored by Republic Bank of Chicago, which is being introduced across the Company's U.S. stores. This product provides customers a checking account solution, with FDIC-insured deposits, that combines a Visa-branded debit card, a number of technology-enabled tools and optional overdraft protection. In Canada, our stores are branded "Cash Money" and we offer "LendDirect" Installment and Open-End loans online and at certain stores. As of March 31, 2020, our network consisted of 416 locations across 14 U.S. states and seven Canadian provinces and we offered our online services in 27 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces.

Recent Developments

COVID-19. A novel strain of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the U.S. and Canada. In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various governmental bodies have issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work. However, CURO's operations have been designated as essential financial services by federal guidelines and local regulations. As a provider of an essential service, we remain focused on protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate while assuring the continuity of our business operations. In response to the pandemic, we have taken the following steps to ensure our financial stability while maintaining the health and wellbeing of our employees and customers:

Share Repurchase Program. Our BoardFull-year 2020 earnings guidance was withdrawn.
Cancellation of Directors authorized athe 2020 Short-Term Incentive Plan.
Suspension of our $25 million share repurchase program, previously announced in April 2019 providingFebruary 2020.
Establishment of an enhanced Customer Care Program to better serve our customers as they face unprecedented economic challenges and uncertainties. The program enables our team members to provide relief to customers in various ways, ranging from due date extensions, interest or fee forgiveness, payment waivers or extended payment plans, depending on a customer’s individual circumstances. We also temporarily suspended all returned item fees.


Designation of most stores across both the U.S. and Canada as an essential service, allowing stores to remain open during local governments' lock down orders.
Adjustment of our credit underwriting models to tighten approval rates and enhance our employment and income verification practices for both the store and on-line lending platforms.
Implementation of work-from-home for virtually all 1,100 of the Company’s contact center and corporate support personnel in Wichita, Toronto and Chicago.

Ad Astra Acquisition. On January 3, 2020, we acquired Ad Astra, previously our exclusive provider of third-party collection services for the repurchaseU.S. business. The acquisition allows us to bring all U.S. servicing and recovery in-house, drive operational and financial synergies to ensure all aspects of upthe recovery portfolio are coordinated, reduce operational redundancy and increase peak volume management, improve compliance synergies, and facilitate integrated and personalized CRM strategies and campaign management across the servicing and recovery lifecycle. See Note 17, "Acquisition" of the Notes to $50.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase program, which commenced June 2019, will continue until completed or terminated. We expect the purchases to be made from time-to-time in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors.

Under this program, the Company has repurchased 244,200 shares of common stock through June 30, 2019.additional information.

Credit facilitiesFacilities. On April 8, 2020, we entered into incremental asset-backed revolving credit facility to provide financing for U.S. Installment and Open-End receivables, including those generated under our technology, marketing and servicing relationship with Stride Bank. The credit facility provides for an initial borrowing capacity of $100.0 million, dependent upon the borrowing base of eligible collateral and certain other conditions, as described in Note 19, "Subsequent Events."For recent developments related to our Senior Secured Notes, Non-Recourse Canada SPV facilitiesfacility and other capital resources, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

U.K. DevelopmentsCalifornia Assembly Bill 539. .On February 25,September 13, 2019, we announced that a proposed Schemethe California legislature passed Assembly Bill 539, which imposes an interest rate cap on all consumer loans between $2,500 and $10,000 of Arrangement ("SOA")36%, as describedplus the Federal Funds Rate. The bill became effective on January 1, 2020. Revenue from California Unsecured and Secured Installment loans amounted to 8.8% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See "Regulatory Environment and Compliance" in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019 related to Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively the "U.K. Subsidiaries"), would not be implemented. We also announced that effective February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of our U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators ("Administrators")10-K for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place the management, affairs, business and property of the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. As a result, we deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries as of February 25, 2019 and presented the U.K. Subsidiaries as Discontinued Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q").additional details.

In our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019, our results of operations included a $30.3 million expense comprised of (i) a proposed $23.6 million fund to settle historical redress claims and (ii) $6.7 million in advisory and other costs that would be required to execute the SOA. We subsequently concluded that pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies, the SOA did not represent an estimate of loss for the redress loss contingency but instead was offered in ongoing negotiation of a potential compromised settlement with creditors. Therefore, the settlement offered through the SOA did not meet the recognition threshold pursuant to ASC 450 and should not have been accrued as a contingent liability for customer redress claims as of December 31, 2018. Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019 appropriately included $4.6 million of fourth quarter 2018 redress costs and related charges which represented known claims as of December 31, 2018. See "Controls and Procedures" in our 2018 Form 10-K for further discussion.

Also, the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change affected comparability with the inclusion of $35.4 million of past-due Open-End loans as of June 30, 2019. Open-End balances in Canada grew $35.1 million sequentially from the first quarter of 2019 ($30.8 million on a constant currency basis) due to organic growth of the product. Remaining year-over-year loan growth was driven by the organicand 30.0% growth in seasoned markets, such as Tennessee and Kansas, and the relatively new Virginia market.U.S.

NCO rates are lower in Canada and Open-End loans in Canada comprised 77.4% of total Open-End loans as of June 30, 2019, compared to 56.4% as of June 30, 2018. Sequentially,portfolio, which improved 165 bps year-over-year on a non-GAAP pro forma basis as described below, NCO rates improved 170 bps, primarily on portfolio improvements in Canada.below. The Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable increased sequentially from 16.4% to 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 because of Allowance Build.

Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change

Effective January 1, 2019, we modified the timeframe inover which we charge-off Open-End loans and made related refinements to our loss provisioning methodology. Prior to January 1, 2019, we deemed Open-End loans uncollectible and charged-off when a customer missed a scheduled payment and the loan was considered past due.past-due. Because of our continuing shift to Open-End loans in Canada and our analysis of payment patterns on early-stage versus late-stage delinquencies, we revised our estimates and now consider Open-End loans uncollectible when the loan has been contractually past-due for 90 consecutive days. Consequently, past-due Open-End loans and related accrued interest now remain in loans receivable for 90 days before being charged off against the allowance for loan losses. All recoveries on charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

Prospectively from January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91.

The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2019.

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of June 30, 2019 include $35.4 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for periods prior to March 31, 2019 do not include any past-due loans.

Revenues: for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, gross revenues include interest earned on past-due loan balances of approximately $12 million, while revenues in prior-year periods do not include comparable amounts. Gross revenue for the six-month ended June 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due loan balances of approximately $21 million.

Provision for Losses: prospectively, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by NCOs (total charge-offs less total recoveries) plus changes to the Allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs prospectively include unpaid principal and up to 90 days of related accrued interest, NCO amounts and rates are higher and the Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable is higher. The Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable increased to 18.3% at June 30, 2019 compared to 10.7% in the same prior-year period.

For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018

Revenue and Net Revenue
Revenue increased $27.1$2.9 million, or 11.4%1.0%, to $264.3$280.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020, from $237.2$277.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $12 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by a higher provision rate and the higher allowance discussed further below.March 31, 2019. U.S. revenue decreased 1.9% primarily due to regulatory changes in California. Excluding California, U.S. revenue increased 10.5%4.6%, primarily driven by volumeOpen-End growth. Canadian revenue increased 15.3% (19.5% on a constant currency basis), as volume13.9% primarily due to growth offset yield compression from negative regulatory impacts on Single-Pay loan ratesin Open-End loans and the significant product mix-shiftsale of payment protection insurance to Canadian Installment and Open-End loans.customers.

Provision for losses increased $25.7by $11.2 million, or 29.7%10.9%, to $112.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily from $86.3$12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to changesof Allowance Build, as discussed in more detail in the allowance coverage in the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2018 included $11.0 million of provision benefit from changes in allowance coverage rates whereas the second quarter of 2019 included $1.6 million of benefit. Excluding the impact of the allowance coverage change, provision for losses increased $16.3 million, or 16.7%, because of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change"—Loan Volume and increased earning asset volume year-over-year as further described in "SegmentPortfolio Performance Analysis" above and "—Segment Analysis" below.

Cost of Providing Services

The total costNon-advertising costs of providing services decreased $2.4$6.9 million, or 3.2%11.1%, to $71.1$55.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, compared to $73.5$62.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarilyMarch 31, 2019. Of the $6.9 million decrease, $4.7 million is related to third-party collection costs, incurred in 2019 related to Ad Astra, which were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. Following our acquisition of Ad Astra on January 3, 2020, its operating costs are included within "Corporate, district and other expenses," consistent with presentation of our other internal collection costs. The remaining decrease year-over-year in Non-advertising costs of providing services is from headcount reductions in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and discretionary variable compensation comparisons.

Advertising costs increased $4.4 million, or 56.9%, year-over-year. We historically reduced advertising and customer acquisition costs seasonally in the first quarter of the year (concentrated in February) because of lowerthe impact on customers of U.S. federal income tax refunds. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on improved underwriting and evaluation of the seasonal opportunity, we increased advertising costs analyzed furtherthrough the traditional tax refund season. We subsequently reduced advertising costs in "Segment Analysis" below.the last three weeks of March 2020 because of COVID-19-related considerations.



Operating Expenses

Corporate, district and other expenses increased $6.1were $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 18.4%12.8%, primarily as a resultcompared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Corporate, district and other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2020 include $3.5 million of a $3.7 million non-cash impairment chargecollection costs related to Ad Astra, which were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services prior to its acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, corporate, district and other expenses include (i) $1.1 million of legal and other costs described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income in "—Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information" below, and (ii) $3.2 million of share-based compensation costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, corporate district and other expenses include (i) U.K. related costs of $7.8 million and severance costs of $1.8 million as described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income in "—Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information" below, and (ii) share-based compensation costs of $2.2 million.

Excluding Ad Astra costs, share-based compensation expense and other costs described above, comparable corporate, district and other expenses decreased $2.4 million year-over-year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and market-based changes in deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities.

We account for our investment in Cognical Holdings, Inc. ("Zibby") and higher performance-based variable compensation. DuringKatapult under the second quarterequity method. We record our pro rata share of 2019, Zibby conducted an equity capital raise that closed on July 11, 2019, primarily with existing equity holders. We invested cash of $2.8 millionKatapult's income or losses in the second quarterunaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of 2019 and an additional $4.0 millionOperations with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of cashour investment in July 2019, which in aggregate, increased"Other assets" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our fully-diluted ownership to 42.3%. Because the offeringshare of Katapult's loss was at a valuation below previous rounds, the non-cash impairment charge was required. Excluding the Zibby impairment charge, share-based compensation costs in both periods presented and U.K. related costs, operating expenses increased by $1.2$1.6 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 remained consistent with the prior-year period on flat year-over-year average borrowing.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was 29.7%5.1%, compared to 21.7.0%a tax rate of 25.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding the non-tax-deductible impairment of our investmentMarch 31, 2019. The decrease in Zibby, our effective income tax rate was primarily due to a tax benefit from continuing operationsthe CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid Federal income taxes. In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $9.1 million related to the carry-back of NOL from tax years 2018 and 2019, which will offset pre-tax reform years and generate a refund of previously paid taxes at 35%. In addition, losses from our equity method investment in Katapult are not tax deductible. Excluding the impact of the CARES Act and Katapult, our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was 25.8%27.9%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenue and Net Revenue
Revenue increased $54.2 million, or 11.1%, to $542.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $488.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $21 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by a higher provision rate and the higher allowance discussed further below. U.S. revenue increased 10.5%, driven by volume growth. Canadian revenue increased 13.7% (18.7% on a constant currency basis), as volume growth offset yield compression from negative regulatory impacts on Single-Pay loan rates and the significant product mix-shift to Open-End loans.

Provision for losses increased $51.2 million, or 31.3%, to $214.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $163.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to changes in the allowance coverage in the second quarter of 2018. The first half of 2018 included $14.7 million of provision benefit from changes which included allowance coverage rates whereas the first half of 2019 included $1.0 million of benefit. Excluding the impact of the allowance coverage change, provision for losses increased $37.5 million, or 21.1%, because of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change and increased earning asset volume year-over-year as further described in "Segment Analysis" below.

Cost of Providing Services
The total cost of providing services decreased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, to $141.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $141.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily because of lower advertising costs, offset by increased loan servicing costs on higher volume.

Operating Expenses
Corporate, district and other expenses increased $19.7 million, or 28.8%, primarily as a result of $8.5 million for obtaining the consent of our holders of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and our bondholders associated with discontinuing our U.K. operations and other related U.K. separation costs, $1.8 million of restructuring costs from our reduction-in-force implemented in January 2019, higher professional fees associated with our first year-end for full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, and a $3.7 million impairment charge related to our investment in Zibby. Excluding the Zibby impairment charge, share-based compensation costs in both periods presented and U.K. related costs, operating expenses increased by $6.7 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 27.4%, compared to 29.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding the non-tax-deductible impairment of our investment in Zibby, our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 25.9%

The provision for losses' increase of $20.6 million, or 28.6%, was primarily due to changes in allowance coverage in the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2018 included $9.9 million of provision benefit from changes in the allowance coverage rates, whereas the second quarter of 2019 included $0.3 million of incremental expense.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S.US GAAP, we provide certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” including:
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, or the Adjusted Earnings Measures (net income from continuing operations plus or minus gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, restructuring and other costs, impairment ofcertain legal and related costs, loss from equity method investment, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, certain costs related to the disposition of U.K., transaction-related costs, share-based compensation, intangible asset amortization and cumulative tax effect of applicable adjustments, on a total and per share basis);
EBITDA (earnings(net income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization);
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus or minus certain non-cash and other adjusting items);
Adjusted effective income tax rate (effective tax rate plus or minus certain non-cash and other adjusting items); and
Gross Combined Loans Receivable (includes loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs which are not included in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures offer another way to view aspects of our business that, when viewed with our US GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

We believe that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in the business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S.US GAAP. In addition, we believe that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these income or expense items. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of public companies in our industry, many of which present Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.

In addition to reporting loans receivable information in accordance with U.S.US GAAP, we provide Gross Combined Loans Receivable consisting of ownedCompany-Owned loans receivable plus loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO programs, which we guarantee but do not include in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements ("Guaranteed by the Company").

We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our U.S.US GAAP Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Combined Loans Receivable should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, segment operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S.US GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other liquidity measure derived in accordance with U.S.US GAAP. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.US GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.


Description and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our income or cash flows as reported under U.S.US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
they do not include cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not include changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
they do not include the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
depreciation and amortization are non-cash expense items reported in the statements of cash flows; and
other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.



We calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share utilizing diluted shares outstanding at year-end. If we record a loss from continuing operations under U.S.US GAAP, shares outstanding utilized to calculate Diluted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. Shares outstanding utilized to calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations reflect the number of diluted shares we would have reported if reporting net income from continuing operations under U.S.US GAAP.

As noted above, Gross Combined Loans Receivable includes loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs which are not included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but from which we earn revenue and for which we provide a guarantee to the lender. Management believes this analysis provides investors with important information needed to evaluate overall lending performance.

We evaluate our stores based on revenue per store, provision for losses at each store and store-level EBITDA, with consideration given to the length of time a store has been open and its geographic location. We monitor newer stores for their progress to profitability and their rate of revenue growth.

We believe Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and the capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this Form 10-Q may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies.

Legal and other costs of $1.8 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 were due to eliminating 121 positions in North America. The store employee reductions helphelped better align store staffing with in-store customer traffic and volume patterns, as more of our growth comes from online channels and as store customers require less time in stores as they conduct more of the follow-up activities online. The elimination of certain corporate positions relaterelated to efficiency initiatives and has allowed the Company to reallocate investment to strategic growth activities.

As a resultCumulative tax effect of adjustments included in Reconciliation of Net income from continuing operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA table is calculated using the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act"), which became law on December 22, 2017, we provided an estimate of the new repatriationestimated incremental tax as of December 31, 2017. Subsequent to further guidance published in the first quarter of 2018, we booked additional tax expense of $1.2 million for the 2017 repatriation tax. Additionally, the 2017 Tax Act provided for a new GILTI ("Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income") tax starting in 2018 and we estimated and provided tax expense of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity to fund the loans we make to our customers are cash provided by operations, our Senior Revolver, our Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility, funds from third-party lenders under our CSO programs, and our Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility (defined below).Facility. During August 2018, we issued $690.0 million 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due September 2025 ("8.25% Senior Secured Notes")(i) to (i) redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 of CFTC, (ii) to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the five-year revolving credit facility of CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which consists of a term loan and revolving borrowing capacity, (iii) for general corporate purposes and (iv) to pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the foregoing.

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. We anticipate that our primary use of cash will be to fund growth in our working capital, finance capital expenditures, and meet our debt obligations, and fundobligations. As we did for our share repurchase program. programs announced in April 2019 and February 2020 (which we have suspended as previously disclosed), we may also use cash to fund a return on capital for our stockholders through share repurchase programs, or as we announced in February 2020, in the form of dividends.

Our level of cash flow provided by operating activities typically experiences some seasonal fluctuation related to our levels of net income and changes in working capital levels, particularly loans receivable.

Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. We have the ability to adjust our volume of lending to consumers which would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through loan repayments to the extent we experience any short-term or long-term funding shortfalls. We may also sell or securitize our assets, draw on our available revolving credit facility or line of credit, enter into additional refinancing agreements and reduce our capital spending in order to generate additional liquidity. We believe our cash on hand and available borrowings provide us with sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months.

As noted above, we issuedRefer to Note 5, "Debt," for details on each of our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes in August 2018. Interestcredit facilities and resources. Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events" for additional details on the notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year. In connection with the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes, we capitalized financing costs of approximately $12.9 million, the balance of which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Long-Term Debt, and is being amortized over the term of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and included as a component of interest expense.

12.00% Senior Secured Notes

In February and November 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, of 12.00% Senior Secured Notes ("12.00% Senior Secured Notes"). Interest on the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2017. The February 2017 issuance refinanced similar notes that were nearing maturity. The extinguishment of the existing notes resulted in a pretax loss of $11.7 million during September 2018. In connection with these 2017 debt issuances we capitalized financing costs of approximately $18.3 million, the balance of which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Long-Term Debt, and is being amortized over the term of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes as a component of interest expense.

On March 7, 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of its 12.00% Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering as required by the underlying indentures (the transaction whereby the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were partially redeemed, the “Redemption”) at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest paid thereon to the date of Redemption. Following the Redemption, $527.5 million of the original outstanding principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding. The Redemption was conducted pursuant to the Indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent.

The remainder of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were extinguished effective September 7, 2018 as a result of the issuance of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes as described above.

Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility

In November 2016, CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “SPV Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Victory Park Management, LLC and certain other lenders that provided for an $80.0 million term loan and $70.0 million of revolving borrowing capacity that could expand over time (“Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility”). The loans bore interest at an annual rate of up to 12.00% plus the greater of (i) 1.0% per annum and (ii) three-month LIBOR. The SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In connection with this facility, the capitalized financing costs at the time of extinguishment, as discussed below, were approximately $5.3 million, net of amortization. These capitalized financing costs were included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of "Long-term debt" and were amortized over the term of the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility. During September 2018, a portion of the proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes were used to extinguish the revolver's balance of $42.4 million.Facility that we closed on April 8, 2020.

On October 11, 2018, we extinguished the remaining term loan balance

Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility

On August 2, 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the “Canada SPV Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provides for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million (“Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility”). The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75% plus the three-month CDOR. As of June 30, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility were $91.0 million, net of deferred financing costs of $3.6 million, and after a reduction of net balances drawn of $20.9 million during the quarter.

Senior Revolver

On September 1, 2017, we closed on a $25.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Loan Facility (the "Senior Revolver"). In February 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $29.0 million. In November 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $50.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver is now syndicated with participation by four banks. The negative covenants of the Senior Revolver generally conform to the related provisions in the Indenture for our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. We believe this facility complements our other financing sources, while providing seasonal short-term liquidity. Under the Senior Revolver, there is $50.0 million maximum availability, including up to $5.0 million of standby letters of credit, for a one-year term, renewable for successive terms following annual review. The Senior Revolver accrues interest at the one-month LIBOR (which may not be negative) plus 5% per annum and is repayable on demand. The terms of the Senior Revolver require that the outstanding balance be zero for at least 30 consecutive days in each calendar year. The Senior Revolver is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries that guarantee our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the guarantor subsidiaries that is senior to the lien securing our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver was undrawn at June 30, 2019.

In connection with this facility we capitalized financing costs of approximately $0.1 million, the balance of which we included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other assets,” and are being amortized over the term of the facility and included as a component of interest expense.

Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility

Cash Money Cheque Cashing, Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, maintains a C$10 million revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada. The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility provides short-term liquidity required to meet the working capital needs of our Canadian operations.  Aggregate draws under the revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of: (i) the borrowing base, which is defined as a percentage of cash, deposits in transit and accounts receivable, and (ii) C$10 million. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was reduced by C$0.3 million in stand-by-letters of credit. 

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of Cash Money’s assets and contains various covenants that include, among other things, that the aggregate borrowings outstanding under the facility not exceed the borrowing base, restrictions on the encumbrance of assets and the creation of indebtedness. Borrowings under the Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility bear interest (per annum) at the prime rate of a Canadian chartered bank plus 1.95%.
The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Continuing Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was $312.3$151.9 million, primarily attributable to net income from continuing operations of $46.3 million, the effect of non-cash reconciling items of $227.6$137.7 million, which includes provision for loan losses of $214.4$113.5 million, andoffset by changes in our operating assets and liabilities which provided $38.4$21.9 million.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $246.7$141.0 million, primarily attributable to net income from continuing operations of $43.6$28.7 million, the effect of non-cash reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization and the provision for loan losses for a total of $191.6$102.4 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities


of $11.6$12.1 million, partially offset by other non-cash expenses of $2.1 million. FeesMajor components of non-cash expenses include depreciation and service charges on our loans receivable change represented $2.9 million of the total change in operating assetsamortization, provision for loan losses and liabilities.share-based compensation expense.

Continuing Investing Activities

Net cash used in continuing investing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was $227.7$78.5 million, primarily reflecting the net origination of loans of $217.2 million. In addition, we used$60.4 million and the acquisition of Ad Astra for $14.4 million, net of cash to purchase approximately $6.2received. Net origination of loans includes $30.1 million of propertycash inflows for California Unsecured and equipment, including software licenses and $4.4 million of additional investment in Zibby.Secured Installment loans from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 due to regulatory changes, effective January 1, 2020.

Net cash used in continuing investing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $198.6$69.6 million, primarily reflecting the net origination of loans of $194.6$64.9 million. In addition, we used cash to purchase approximately $3.0$3.1 million of property and equipment, including software licenses, and to purchase $1.0 million of Zibby preferred shares.licenses.

Origination of loans will fluctuate from period-to-period, depending on the timing of loan issuances and collections. A seasonal decline in consumer loans receivable typically occurs during the first quarter of the year and is driven by income tax refunds in the U.S. Typically, customers will use the proceeds from income tax refunds to pay outstanding loan balances, resulting in an increase in our net cash balances and a decrease in our consumer loans receivable balances. Consumer loans receivable balances typically reflect growth during the remainder of the year.

Continuing Financing Activities

Net cash used in continuing financing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 was $2.7 million, primarily due to $6.1 million of net proceeds on our debt facilities, offset by common stock repurchases of $5.9 million and cash dividends of $2.2 million.

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $45.2$41.3 million. During the quarter, we made a $20.0 million payment on the Senior Revolver to reduce the outstanding balance to zero and made net repayments of $21.0$20.9 million on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility.

Net cash used in continuing financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $80.7 million. We redeemed $77.5 million of our 12.00% Senior Secured Notes for $86.8 million (which included $9.3 million of call premium). The underwriters of our 2017 initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option on January 5, 2018 and acquired one million shares of our common stock, providing net proceeds to us of $12.4 million. We also had net borrowings of $6.2 million from our U.S. SPV Facility and our ABL Facility during the six months June 30, 2018.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant developments with respect to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2018,2019, as described in our 20182019 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Goodwill. We exercise judgment in evaluating assets for impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances arise which could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These tests require comparing carrying values to estimated fair values of the reporting unit under review.

The U.S. and Canada operations are our two reporting units, as defined by FASB’s ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, for which we assess goodwill for impairment. As of the most recent annual goodwill impairment testing date (October 1, 2019), both reporting units' estimated fair valued exceeded its carrying value. As described in our 2019 Form 10-K, an impairment would occur if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the fair value of that reporting unit. Events or circumstances that could indicate an impairment include a significant change in the business climate, a change in strategic direction, legal factors, operating performance


indicators, a change in the competitive environment, the sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit or economic outlook. These and other macroeconomic factors, in general, were considered when performing the annual test on October 1, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim assessment of goodwill on both reporting units to consider whether current events or circumstances, attributable to uncertainty caused by COVID-19, resulted in a more likely than not reduction in the fair value of the reporting units below their respective carrying values.

Canada Reporting Unit

As part of our quantitative testing process for goodwill of the Canada reporting unit, we estimated fair values using a discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are revenue growth rates, gross margin, EBITDA margins, discount rate and long-term revenue growth rate. The cash flow forecasts of the reporting unit, which we updated to reflect the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, are based on management’s long-term view of our markets and are the forecasts that senior management and the Board of Directors use to evaluate the Company's overall and individual reporting unit operating performance. The discount rate utilized is management’s estimate of what the market’s weighted average cost of capital is for a company with a similar debt rating and stock volatility, as measured by beta. The terminal business value is determined by applying the long-term growth rate to the latest year for which a forecast exists. As part of our goodwill quantitative testing process, we evaluate whether there are reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment testing.

As of March 31, 2020, no impairment of goodwill existed for the Canada reporting unit. Testing did indicate that the fair value of the Canada reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 5%. This reduction in fair value of the Canada reporting unit, which was previously greater than 10% at the time of the October 1, 2019 annual impairment test, was primarily driven by significant uncertainty surrounding the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the reporting unit’s near-term cash flows, triggering a decrease in the reporting unit's forecasted near-term cash flows. The length of time and extent to which the pandemic will impact our customers remains unclear, and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach reflect management's estimates as of the date of this filing.

U.S. Reporting Unit

After performing a similar interim impairment test for the U.S. reporting unit as that for the Canada reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow method, which was adjusted for considerations related to COVID-19, we concluded that the fair value continues to be significantly in excess of the carrying value.

The following table summarizes the segment allocation of recorded goodwill on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020:

(in thousands)March 31, 2020Percent of Total December 31, 2019Percent of Total
U.S.$105,922
79.7% $91,131
75.6%
Canada26,903
20.3% 29,478
24.4%
Total Goodwill$132,825
  $120,609
 

There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors for the Canada reporting unit. Changes in the expected length of the current downturn, timing of recovery, or long-term revenue growth or profitability for this reporting unit could increase the likelihood of a future impairment. Additionally, changes in market participant assumptions such as an increased discount rate or further share price reductions could increase the likelihood of a future impairment.

Regulatory Environment and Compliance

There have been no significant developments with respect to our regulatory environment and compliance since December 31, 2018,2019, as described in our 20182019 Form 10-K except for the following:10-K.

California Assembly Bill 539

On June 26, 2019, the California Senate Banking and Financial Institutions Committees passed Assembly Bill 539, which imposes an interest rate cap on all consumer loans between $2,500 and $10,000 of 36% plus the Federal Funds Rate. On July 9, 2019, the California Senate Judiciary Committee also passed Assembly Bill 539 and the bill was referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The deadline for Assembly Bill 539 to pass both houses is September 13, 2019, and the deadline to be signed by the Governor and passed into law is October 13th, 2019. Revenue from California Unsecured and Secured Installment loans amounted to 13.3% of total revenue from continuing operations for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, California Unsecured and Secured Installment gross loans receivable were $86.5 million and $42.3 million, respectively. We continue to evaluate the effect on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of this bill and alternatives available to service customers in the California market.

California Consumer Privacy Act

In 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) was passed into law, effective January 1, 2020. CCPA broadens consumer rights with respect to their personal information, imposing expanded obligations to disclose the categories and uses of personal information a business collects, providing consumers a right to access that information, a right to opt out of the sale of personal information and the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer subject to certain exemptions. CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which may increase the costs of data breach litigation. CCPA contains a number of ambiguities, was previously amended and we anticipate further amendments before its effective date. Other states and possibly the federal government may adopt laws similar to the CCPA. While it is too early to know its full impact, these developments could ultimately result in the imposition of requirements on CURO and other consumer financial service providers that could increases costs or otherwise adversely affect our business.



British Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Amendment Act

Effective January 1, 2017, the British Columbia Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General (the "Ministry") reduced the total cost of borrowing from C$23 per C$100 lent to C$17 per C$100 lent. A further reduction to C$15 per C$100 lent came into effect on September 1, 2018. On February 26, 2019, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General introduced in Parliament Bill 7 titled “Business Practices and Consumer Amendment Act." This bill received Royal Assent on May 16, 2019 and became law. There are no material changes to our current operations as a result of this legislation. The bill primarily allows the Ministry to i) define a high cost credit product and ii) require licensing and consumer protection oversight. It also authorizes the Ministry to prescribe regulations regarding high cost credit products including a cooling off period between loans, cost/optional services disclosure requirements, and prohibition of concurrent loan products. It is too early to predict the outcome of the regulations setting process and its impact on our operations.

CFPB Rulemaking Update

In February 2019, the CFPB issued two notices of proposed rulemaking proposing (i) to delay the August 19, 2019 compliance date for the so-called "Mandatory Underwriting Provisions" of the 2017 Final Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans (the "2017 Final Rule") Rule to November 19, 2020 and (ii) to rescind such Mandatory Underwriting Provisions (the “2019 Proposed Rule”). The CFPB issued a final rule on June 6, 2019 delaying the compliance date for the Mandatory Underwriting Provisions of the 2017 Final Rule to November 19, 2020. The Mandatory Underwriting Provisions which the 2019 Proposed Rule would rescind which are still under consideration include: (i) provide that it is an unfair and abusive practice for a lender to make a covered short-term or longer-term balloon-payment loan, including our payday and vehicle title loans with a term of 45 days or less, without reasonably determining that consumers have the ability to repay those loans according to their terms; (ii) prescribe mandatory underwriting requirements for making this ability-to-repay determination; (iii) exempt certain loans from the mandatory underwriting requirements; and (iv) establish related definitions, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.

The compliance date for the "Payment Provision" of the 2017 Final Rule remains August 19, 2019, but is currently stayed pursuant to the Western District of Texas, Austin Division's Ruling ("Court Order") on May 30, 2019. Under these provisions:

If two consecutive attempts to collect money from a particular account of the borrower, made through any channel (e.g., paper check, ACH, prepaid card) are returned for insufficient funds, the lender cannot make any further attempts to collect from such account unless the borrower has provided a new and specific authorization for additional payment transfers. The 2017 Final CFPB Rule contains specific requirements and conditions for the authorization. While the CFPB has explained that these provisions are designed to limit bank penalty fees to which consumers may be subject, and while banks do not charge penalty fees on debit card authorization requests, the 2017 Final CFPB Rule nevertheless treats card authorization requests as payment attempts subject to these limitations.

A lender generally must give the consumer at least three business days advance notice before attempting to collect payment by accessing a consumer’s checking, savings, or prepaid account. The notice must include information such as the date of the payment request, payment channel and payment amount (broken down by principal, interest, fees, and other charges), as well as additional information for “unusual attempts,” such as when the payment is for a different amount than the regular payment, initiated on a date other than the date of a regularly scheduled payment or initiated in a different channel that the immediately preceding payment attempt. A lender must also provide the borrower with a "consumer rights notice" in a prescribed form after two consecutive failed payment attempts.

The CFPB has indicated it has received a formal request to revisit the treatment of debt cards under the Payment Provisions and intends to examine the Payment Provisions further. If the CFPB determines that further action is warranted, it may commence a separate rulemaking initiative.

ITEM 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about our market risks, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our 20182019 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. There have been no material changes to the amounts presented therein.

LIBOR is used as a reference rate for certain of our financial instruments, such as our revolving credit facilities. LIBOR is set to be phased out at the end of 2021. We are currently reviewing how the LIBOR phase-out will affect the Company, but we do not expect the impact to be material.

ITEM 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as disclosed in Item 9A of our 2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,end of the period covered by this report conducted by our management, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2018 becausewith the participation of the identification of a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement ofChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

RemediationChief Executive Officer and changes in internal control over financial reporting 

We are taking actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including implementing plans as identified in Item 9A of our 2018 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019, to address our material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management hasChief Financial Officer concluded through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediationand procedures were effective as of this material weakness will be completed in 2019.
Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.March 31, 2020.

Limitation on the effectiveness of controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. A control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


Internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEMItem 1A.     RISK FACTORSRisk Factors
There were no material changes to our risk factors as described in our 20182019 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019 or in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 8, 2020, except for the following:

Our industry is strictly regulated everywhereWe have covenants in our debt agreements which may restrict our flexibility to operate our business. If we operate, anddo not comply with these regulationscovenants, our failure could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are subject to substantial regulation everywhere we operate. In the U.S. and Canada, our business is subject to a variety of statutes and regulations enacted by government entities at the federal, state or provincial, and municipal levels. These regulations affect our business in many ways, and include regulations relating to:

the amount we may charge in interest rates and fees;
the terms of our loans (such as maximum and minimum durations), repayment requirements and limitations, number and frequency of loans, maximum loan amounts, renewals and extensions, required repayment plans and reporting and use of state-wide databases;
underwriting requirements;
collection and servicing activity, including initiation of payments from consumer accounts;
the establishment and operation of CSOs or CABs;
licensing, reporting and document retention;
unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices;
discrimination;
disclosures, notices, advertising and marketing;
loans to members of the military and their dependents;
requirements governing electronic payments, transactions, signatures and disclosures;
check cashing;
money transmission;
currency and suspicious activity recording and reporting;
privacy and use of personally identifiable information and consumer data, including credit reports;
anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements, including currency and suspicious transaction recording and reporting;
posting of fees and charges; and
repossession practices in certain jurisdictions where we operate as a title lender, including requirements regarding notices and prompt remittance of excess proceeds for the sale of repossessed automobiles.

For a more detailed description of the regulations to which we are subject and the regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which we operate see “Regulatory Environment and Compliance” in our 2018 Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q.

These regulations, outside of our control, affect our business in many ways, including affecting the loans and other products we can offer, the prices we can charge, the other terms of our loans and other products, the customers to whom we are allowed to lend, how we obtain our customers, how we communicate with our customers, how we pursue repayment of our loans and many others. Consequently, these restrictions adversely affect our loan volume, revenues, delinquencies and other aspects of our business, including our results of operations.

For example, in June 2018, we discontinued the use of secondary payment cards for affected borrowers who do not explicitly reauthorize the use of secondary payment cards. For these borrowers, in the event we cannot obtain payment through the bank account or payment card listed on the borrower’s application and as authorized by the borrower, we must rely exclusively on other collection methods, such as delinquency notices and/or collection calls. The discontinuation for affected borrowers of our current use of secondary cards which have not been reauthorized by the borrower will increase collections costs and reduce collections effectiveness. Even in advance of the effective date of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule (and even if the 2017 Final CFPB Rule does not become effective), it is possible that we will make further changes to our payment practices in a manner that will increase costs and/or reduce revenues.



In addition, on June 26, 2019, the California Senate Banking and Financial Institutions Committees passed Assembly Bill 539, which imposes an interest rate cap on all consumer loans between $2,500 and $10,000 of 36% plus the Federal Funds Rate. On July 9, 2019, the California Senate Judiciary Committee also passed Assembly Bill 539 and the bill was referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The deadline for Assembly Bill 539 to pass both houses is September 13, 2019, and the deadline to be signed by the Governor and passed into law is October 13th, 2019. Revenue from California Unsecured and Secured Installment loans amounted to 13.3% of total revenue from continuing operations for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, California Unsecured and Secured Installment gross loans receivable were $86.5 million and $42.3 million, respectively. We continue to evaluate the effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on consolidated indebtedness, liens, investments, subsidiary investments and financial condition as aasset dispositions, and require us to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of this billdefault that, if not cured or waived, could result in reduced liquidity and alternatives available to service customers in the California market. If we are unsuccessful in managing the transition of our California business and operations from affected installment loans to existing and alternative products, Assembly Bill 539 could have a material adverse effect on our businessoperating results and financial condition. In addition, an event of default under one of our debt agreements may result in our then-outstanding debt to become immediately due and payable.

In addition, Our Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility and Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility contain default, delinquency and net spread ratio limits and our Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility also contains a cash collection percentage limit on the receivables pledged to each facility. If these limits were exceeded, it would potentially impact our ability to draw under the terms of these agreements. Further, in certain instances, if ratios are exceeded, we may be required to redirect all excess cash to the credit providers. These limits are calculated based on the portfolio collateralizing the respective credit line.

Failure to comply with our debt covenants could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations.

Further, during 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) was passed into law, effective January 1, 2020. CCPA broadens consumer rights with respect to their personal information, imposing expanded obligations to disclose the categories and uses of personal information a business collects, providing consumers a rightoperation or financial condition if we are either unable to access capital at such time that information, a right to opt out of the sale of personal information and the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer subject to certain exemptions. CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which may increase the costs of data breach litigation. CCPA contains a number of ambiguities, was previously amended and we anticipate further amendments before its effective date.
