On March 18, 2020, the Canadian government announced a set of pandemic measures as part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019,In certain circumstances, the Company announced thatmodifies the terms of its loans receivable for borrowers. Under US GAAP, a proposed Schememodification of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described inloans receivable terms is considered a TDR if the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019,borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company grants a concession to the borrower it would not be implemented.have otherwise granted. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company established an enhanced Customer Care Program, which enables its team members to provide relief to customers in various ways, ranging from due date changes, interest or fee forgiveness, payment waivers or extended payment plans, depending on a customer’s individual circumstances. The Company modifies loans only if it believes the customer has the ability to pay under the restructured terms. The Company continues to accrue and collect interest on these loans 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 was 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.restructured terms.


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 therecords its allowance for loan losses comparedrelated to TDRs by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with the respective TDR at the effective interest rate immediately after the loan modification and records any difference between the discounted cash flows and the carrying value as an allowance adjustment. A loan that has been classified as a TDR remains so until the loan is paid off or charged off. A TDR is charged off consistent with the Company's policies for the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.loan product. For additional information on the Company's loss recognition policy, see the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.


The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimateRefer to Note 3, "Loans Receivable and Revenue" for accounting purposes and applied prospectively effective January 1, 2019.

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

Gross combined loans receivable: balancesfurther information on TDRs as of June 30, 2019 include $35.4 million2020.

Goodwill

The annual impairment review for goodwill, performed as of Open-End loansOctober 1, consists of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that are upa reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether or not further testing is required. The Company may elect 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: forbypass the threequalitative assessment 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.

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 changesproceed directly to the Allowancetwo-step process, for loan losses. Because NCOs prospectively include unpaid principalany 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 qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the 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 up(ii) comparing it to 90 daysthe carrying value of related accrued interest, NCO amountsthe 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 rates are higheradversely impact reported results of operations 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,fourth quarter of 2019, the Company corrected immaterial errorsperformed a quantitative assessment for the U.S. and Canada reporting units. Management concluded that the estimated fair values of these 2 reporting units were greater than their respective carrying values. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed an interim qualitative assessment of goodwill on both reporting units to its prior presentationconsider whether current events or circumstances, attributable to uncertainty caused by COVID-19, resulted in a more-likely-than-not determination that the fair values of cash flows for loan originations and collections on principal.the reporting units fell below their respective carrying values. The Company determined that the historical presentation was in error bydid 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 forrecord an impairment loss during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02

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

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 amended 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 qualify as an SRC, for which the Company currently 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.permitted. The Company is evaluating its alternatives with respect to the available accounting methods under ASU 2016‑13,2016-13, 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, as disclosed below, theThe Company is evaluating the impact of the FASB's definition of a SRC todeferred the adoption of ASU 2016-13.2016-13 as permitted under ASU 2019-10. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 2020-04

In March 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 that adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-052019-12


In MayDecember 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 balancegeneral principles in Topic 740. Additionally, the ASU clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of retained earnings in the statement of financial position asits requirements. The amendments of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. 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.

NOTE 3 – LOANS RECEIVABLE AND REVENUE


COVID-19 impacted CURO's customers and overall credit performance. During the second quarter of 2020, federal governments in the U.S. and Canada provided various stimulus and income stability payments, which, among other impacts, resulted in lower demand for the Company's products and lower than expected NCOs. Ongoing impacts from and risks related to COVID-19 have caused continued uncertainty regarding the performance of NCOs over the loss-development period as of June 30, 2020. The Company has maintained its historical allowance approach, but has adjusted future loss estimates for changes in past-due gross loans receivable due to market conditions at June 30, 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 June 30, 2020.

Additionally, as a result of COVID-19, the Company enhanced its Customer Care Program and began modifying loans for borrowers that experienced financial distress, as discussed in more detail in Note 1,"Summaryof Significant Accounting Policiesand Natureof Operations" and the tables below.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act became law, which reduced the statutory U.S. Federal corporate The decrease in effective income tax rate was primarily due to a tax benefit from 35%the CARES Act, which was enacted by the U.S. Federal government on March 27, 2020 in response to 21%, enacted a one-time “deemed repatriation” tax on unremitted earnings accumulatedthe COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

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 "Diluteddiluted earnings per share." For the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020, there were 2.3 million and 1.7 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were 1.3 million and 1.2 million, respectively, of potential shares of common stock excluded from the calculation of diluted 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 Diluteddiluted 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 diluted 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 CONTINGENCIES
Securities Litigation and Enforcement


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. 18-2662.18-2662 (the "Yellowdog Action"). On May 31, 2019, plaintiffsplaintiff 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. (collectively, the "FFL Defendants") 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 purportPlaintiff purports 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 allegePlaintiff generally alleges 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 assertPlaintiff asserts that the Company and the individual defendants made these misstatements and omissions to keep the stock price high. Plaintiffs seekPlaintiff seeks unspecified damages and other relief.


On May 27, 2020, the parties accepted a mediator’s proposal to settle the action for $9.0 million. On June 1, 2020, the parties informed the Court of the settlement. On August 1, 2020, the parties’ submitted settlement papers to the Court seeking an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and providing for notice to the class and a final settlement hearing. The Company's directors' and officers' insurance carriers are expected to pay any amount in excess of the $2.5 million retention under the policy. As of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $9.0 million receivable in "Other assets" and an incremental $9.0 million liability in "Accounts Payable and accrued liabilities." In addition, there was $1.3 million in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities," which represents the liability remaining of the $2.5 million insurance retention less cash payments made toward the retention.

On June 25, 2020, July 2, 2020 and July 16, 2020, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against certain directors and officers of the Company, the Company, and in two of the three lawsuits, the FFL Defendants, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Plaintiffs generally allege the same underlying facts of the Yellowdog Action.

While the Company is vigorously contesting this lawsuit,these lawsuits, it cannot determine the final resolution or when itthey might be resolved. In addition to the expenses incurred in defending this litigationthese litigations and any damages in excess of insurance coverages that may be awarded in the event of anany adverse ruling,rulings, management’s efforts and attention may be diverted from the ordinary business operations to address these claims. Regardless of the outcome, this litigationoutcomes, these litigations 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. During the second quarter of 2020, the SEC requested information from the Company concerning third-party information cited in plaintiff's complaint in the Yellowdog Action, and the mediation process described above.


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.

On May 15, 2020, the City of Austin proposed an ordinance in direct response to a recent Texas Attorney General’s opinion which would arguably allow CSO’s to provide signature loans outside the regulatory authority of the OCCC and the City of Austin. The proposed ordinance was effective June 1, 2020. The City not only implemented restrictions on CSO transactions, but also revised certain definitions found in the ordinance. These revisions potentially affect the foundation upon which the Company's previous arguments in municipal court were based.

On June 8, 2020, another company within CURO's industry filed a Petition for Declaratory Relief, Application for Temporary Restraining Order, and Application for Temporary and Permanent Injunction against the City. The Temporary Restraining Order was granted, and extended to August 24, 2020. During the pendency of the Temporary Restraining Order, the revised ordinance is stayed as to its effectiveness for all impacted companies, including the Company.

The Company does not anticipate having a final determination of the lawfulness of its CAB program under the Austin ordinanceordinances (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 wouldcould 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 June 30, 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" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently has finance leases which in the aggregate are immaterial and not presented inon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


ROU assets andTypically, a contract is or contains a lease liabilities are recognized based onif it conveys the present valueright to control the use of lease payments overan identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the lease term at commencement date. As mostright to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company must assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both (i) the right to obtain substantially all of the Company’s leases do not provideeconomic benefits from use of the identified asset and (ii) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

CURO GROUP HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(unaudited)

The Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities 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 a result, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, as 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.

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,2 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.

U.S.CanadaTotal

Foreign currency translation—  (1,423) (1,423) 
Goodwill at June 30, 2020$105,922  $28,055  $133,977  

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 is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a reporting unit. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations" of the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on the Company's policy for assessing goodwill for impairment.

As a result of the interim qualitative assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of its respective carrying value and did 0t record any impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Share Repurchase Program. Our BoardRecent Developments

COVID-19. A novel strain of Directors authorizedcoronavirus, known as COVID-19, surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, 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. As the pandemic has continued to affect millions of people across the U.S. and Canada, with resurgences in some jurisdictions, guidance regarding reopening procedures, typically referred to as phases, has been provided. 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 well being of our employees and customers:

Cancellation of the 2020 Short-Term Incentive Plan.
Suspension of our $25 million share repurchase program, previously announced in April 2019February 2020.
Suspension of earnings guidance in light of current macroeconomic events driven by the pandemic. We will continue to monitor conditions and provide guidance as appropriate.
Establishment of an enhanced Customer Care Program, as described further below.

Designation of 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.

To date, in addition to providing financial support to Frontline Foods chapters, our CURO volunteers have personally coordinated more than 20,000 meals to area hospitals in Wichita, KS and Toronto, ON.

The CARES Act also included two provisions that directly impacted the demand for the repurchaseour products as well as our customers’ ability to make payments on their existing loans. The CARES Act included one-time Economic Impact Payments to American households of up to $50.0 million$1,200 per adult for individuals whose income was less than $99,000 (or $198,000 for tax joint filers) and $500 per child under 17 years old, up to $3,400 for a family of four if certain eligibility criteria were met. The CARES Act also provided Unemployment benefit expansion, including (i) an additional $600 federal stimulus payment automatically added to each week of state benefits received between March 29 and July 25, 2020; (ii) expanded Pandemic Unemployment Assistance coverage to self-employed workers, independent contractors, people with limited employment history and people who have used all of their regular unemployment insurance benefits; and (iii) Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation which extends unemployment insurance benefits from 26 weeks to 39 weeks within a 12-month benefit year.

On March 18, 2020, the Canadian government announced a set of pandemic measures as part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. This plan included several provisions that directly impacted the demand for our products as well as our customers’ ability to make payments on their existing loans, including (i) the Canada Emergency Response Benefit with provides a $2,000 benefit every 4 weeks for 24 weeks to eligible workers who become unemployed or under-employed as a result of COVID-19; (ii) a $300 per child Canada Child Benefit paid on May 20, 2020; (iii) a one-time special payment through Canada’s Goods and Services Tax credit for low and modest-income families that averages $400 for individuals and $600 for couples; and iv) temporary wage increases for low-income essential workers funded at the federal level but disbursed at the provincial level.

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. As of June 30, 2020, we have granted concessions on more than 50,000 loans, or 11% of our common stock. The repurchase program,active loans, and waived over $3.7 million in payments and fees. We also temporarily suspended all returned item fees. Approximately 25,000 of the loans on 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. Any repurchased shares will be availablewe granted concessions for use in connection with equity plans and for other corporate purposes.

See Note 17, "Acquisition" of the Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Asrule is currently stayed 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").

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.

The net charge-off ("NCO")2019.However, the NCO rate for Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans receivables in the second quarter of 20192020 increased approximately 281300 bps year-over-year. Year-over-year NCO rate comparisons were affected significantly by the quarterly sequential trends in loan balances (i.e., the denominator in the NCO rate calculation). The year-over-year increase in NCO rate was due to the timing and matching of NCOs and gross loans receivable. As receivables age 90 days prior to charge off, charge-offs in a quarter relate to receivables and originations from the prior quarter and earlier. Loan balances grew sequentially in the second quarter of 2018, due2019, which temporarily had the effect of lowering the NCO rate. Loan balances declined sequentially in the second quarter of 2020, which temporarily had the effect of increasing the NCO rate.

NCO rates are lower in Canada, and Open-End loans in Canada comprised 77.4% of total Open-End loans16.6% as of June 30, 2019, compared2020.

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.

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.

Revenue and Net Revenue
Revenue increased $27.1decreased $81.8 million, or 11.4%30.9%, to $182.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $264.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as a result of the declines in combined gross loan receivables discussed previously. Year-over-year U.S. and Canada revenues decreased 34.6% and 16.7%, respectively.

Provision for losses decreased by $61.3 million, or 54.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in provision for loan losses was due to the sequential decline in loan balances in the second quarter of 2020 and better credit performance from $237.2COVID-19 Impacts as discussed in more detail in the "Loan Product and Portfolio Performance" and "Segment Analysis" sections.

Cost of Providing Services

Non-advertising costs of providing services decreased $8.8 million, or 15.0%, to $49.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $58.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Of the $8.8 million decrease, $3.7 million was related to third-party collection costs incurred in 2019 related to Ad Astra, which were included in Non-advertising costs of providing services. Subsequent to our acquisition of Ad Astra, a wholly owned subsidiary as of 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 was due to (i) lower underwriting and other variable costs as a result of lower demand, (ii) lower collection costs after stimulus-related pay-downs and (iii) lower discretionary variable compensation.

Advertising costs decreased $7.0 million, or 55.0%, year-over-year because of COVID-19 Impacts.

Revenue2020, an increase of $1.5 million, or 4.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Corporate, district and other expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $2.1 million of collection costs related to Ad Astra, which we included in Non-advertising costs of providing services prior to acquisition. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, corporate, district and other expenses also included (i) $3.3 million of share-based compensation costs, (ii) $2.2 million of Canadian GST described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above, and (iii) $0.9 million of legal and other costs also described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, corporate district and other costs included (i) share-based compensation costs of $2.6 million and (ii) U.K. related costs of $0.7 million as described in our reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income above.

Excluding Ad Astra costs, share-based compensation expense and other costs described above, comparable corporate, district and other expenses decreased $3.7 million year-over-year, primarily due to the timing and extent of variable compensation and other cost reductions including work-from-home initiatives to manage COVID-19 Impacts.

Equity Method Investment

We account for our investment in Katapult under the equity method. We record our pro rata share of Katapult's income or losses on a two-month lag in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of our investment in "Other assets" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our share of Katapult's income was $0.7 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 included interest earned2020 remained consistent with the prior-year period 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. U.S. revenue increased 10.5% driven by volume growth. Canadian revenue increased 15.3% (19.5% 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.flat year-over-year average borrowings.


Provision for losses increased $25.7 million, or 29.7%, to $112.0 millionIncome Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $86.3 million2020 was 4.8%, compared to a tax rate of 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to changesa tax benefit of $4.6 million from the release of a valuation allowance previously recorded against NOLs for certain entities in Canada. This benefit was partially offset by uncertain tax position reserve adjustments in the allowance coverageU.S. of $1.1 million. Additionally, during the quarter, we recognized income from our equity method investment in Katapult, which is not taxable due to 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.gain offsetting prior accumulated losses. Excluding the impact of the allowance coverage change, provision for losses increased $16.3 million, or 16.7%, because ofNOL benefit in Canada, the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Changeuncertain tax position reserve adjustment, and increased earning asset volume year-over-year as further described in "Segment Analysis" below.

Cost of Providing Services

Operating Expenses

Corporate, district and other expenses increased $6.1 million, or 18.4%, primarily as a result of a $3.7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our investment in Cognical Holdings, Inc. ("Zibby") and higher performance-based variable compensation. During the second quarter 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 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an additional $4.0 million of cash in July 2019, which in aggregate, increasedKatapult, our fully-diluted ownership to 42.3%. Because the offering 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 million.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included interest earned2020 remained consistent with the prior-year period 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.flat year-over-year average borrowings.


Provision for losses increased $51.2 million, or 31.3%, to $214.4 millionIncome Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $163.2 million2020 was 5.0%, compared to a tax rate of 27.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to changes2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was the result of two discrete, one-time developments related to usage of NOLs. First, the CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to COVID-19, 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. We have 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 our tax liability for years prior to tax reform and generate a refund of previously paid taxes at a 35% statutory rate. Additionally, we recorded a tax benefit of $4.6 million related to the release of a valuation allowance coveragepreviously recorded against NOLs for certain entities in Canada. These benefits were partially offset by uncertain tax position reserve adjustments in the second quarterU.S. 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$1.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $141.62020, we also recognized a $0.9 million loss from our equity method investment in Katapult, which is not tax deductible. Excluding the siximpact of the CARES Act, the valuation allowance release benefit in Canada, the uncertain tax position reserve adjustment and our investment in Katapult, our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily because of lower advertising costs, offset by increased loan servicing costs on higher volume.2020 was 25.6%.


Operating Expenses
49
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%

We hold a $3.742.5% ownership stake in Katapult and account for this ownership under the equity method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2020, Katapult’s leasing volumes benefited from the shift to online shopping during COVID-19 stay-at-home and quarantine orders. Katapult posted its highest weekly origination volumes and highest historical approval rates during the height of COVID-19 as stay-at-home consumers shopped online due to retail store closings and prime and near-prime online financing providers tightened credit and drove more customers to Katapult. Through the end of June, Katapult originated approximately $100 million impairment charge relatedin leases year-to-date compared to $30 million in the first half of 2019. Currently, one retail partner accounts for a majority of Katapult's volume. Credit trends have continued to improve even with the outsized growth in volume such that Katapult has turned profitable to us during the second quarter. We recognize our investment in Zibby,share of Katapult’s income on a two-month lag, from which we recorded income of $0.7 million for the second quarter of U.K. disposition-related costs2020 and $1.0a loss of $0.9 million higher performance-based variable compensation costs.

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, gain or 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 amortizationamortization. certain tax adjustments and impacts from tax law changes 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).

53




We believe that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of the Company's operations. 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"). Management believes this analysis provides investors with important information needed to evaluate overall lending performance.


We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our U.S.US GAAP unaudited 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
54



Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this Form 10-Q may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies.

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, our Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility and our Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility (defined below). DuringFacility. Additionally, in August 2018, we issued $690.0 million 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due September 2025 ("8.25% Senior Secured Notes") 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.2025.


As of June 30, 2019,2020, 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 previously announced 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.shortfalls, such as tightening our credit approval practices (as we have done during the COVID-19 pandemic), which has the effect of reducing cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through loan repayments. We may also sell or securitize our assets, draw on our available revolving credit facility or line of credit, enter into additional refinancing agreements andor reduce our capital spending in order to generate additional liquidity. As a result of lower consumer demand, increased or accelerated repayments as customers benefited from government stimulus programs, our decision to tighten credit and the resulting favorable credit performance, and the runoff of California Installment loans, our available cash on hand was $269.3 million and our total liquidity was $363.4 million as of June 30, 2020. We believe our cash on hand and available borrowings provide us with sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months.

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.Operations

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. ConsumerYear-over-year comparisons were impacted by factors related to COVID-19, including lower consumer demand, increased or accelerated repayments as customers benefited from government stimulus programs and our decision to tighten credit which resulted in lower originations, as well as the runoff of California Installment loans receivable balances typically reflect growth during the remainder of the year.from regulatory changes effective January 1, 2020.

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, except for the new Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility, entered into during April 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgement and complexity are discussed further in Part II - Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, in our 2019 Form 10-K.


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 second quarter of 2020, we performed an interim qualitative 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. We did not record any impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of our interim qualitative assessment on either reporting unit.

There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors for the U.S. andCanada reporting units. Changes in the expected length of the current economic downturn, timing of recovery, or long-term revenue growth or profitability for these reporting units 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.

The following table summarizes the segment allocation of recorded goodwill on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020:
(in thousands)June 30, 2020Percent of TotalDecember 31, 2019Percent of Total

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:


California Assembly Bill 539CFPB Rulemaking Update


On June 26,July 7, 2020, the CFPB issued its decision on the 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 referredProposed Rule. With respect to the Senate Appropriations Committee.2019 Proposed Rule, the CFBP rescinded the mandatory underwriting provisions of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule. However, the CFPB did not rescind or alter the payment provisions of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule. Furthermore, on July 7, 2020, the CFPB ratified prior regulatory actions which included the payments provisions of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule. The deadlineeffective date of the payment provisions of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule is currently unknown. The 2017 Final CFPB rule is currently stayed as a result of an industry legal challenge. The next status conference is scheduled for Assembly Bill 539September 11, 2020. In light of the industry challenge to pass both houses is September 13, 2019, and the deadline2017 Final CFPB Rule, we cannot predict when the 2017 Final CFPB Rule as it relates to be signed by the Governor and passedpayments will ultimately go 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.

Legal Proceedings

Subsequent to the California Supreme Court’s decision in De La Torre v. CashCall, which found that the interest rate on a consumer rights with respectloan of $2,500 or more can render the loans unconscionable under Cal. Fin. Code § 22303, a class action lawsuit entitled Delisle, et al. v. Speedy Cash was filed against Speedy Cash in the Southern District of California on August 31, 2018. The complaint alleges that Speedy Cash charges unconscionable interest rates, in violation of consumer protection statutes, and seeks restitution and public injunctive relief. A motion to their personal information, imposing expanded obligationscompel arbitration and stay proceedings was filed by Speedy Cash on October 30, 2018. A District Court order denying that motion was entered on June 10, 2019. On June 9, 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals entered a memorandum vacating and remanding the District Court’s opinion, and directing the District Court to discloseconsider what effect, if any, California Financial Code § 22304.5(a) has on its analysis.

On January 1, 2020, during the categories and uses of personal information a business collects, providing consumers a right to access that information, a right to opt outcourse of the sale of personal informationDelisle proceedings, Cal. Fin. Code § 22304.5(a) took effect prohibiting finance lenders from issuing loans between $2,500 and $10,000 with charges over 36% calculated as an annual simple interest rate (plus 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.prior month’s Federal Funds Rate).





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, 2018.10-K. 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.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 June 30, 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 changesThe Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K as follows:

A change in the United States' presidential administration and/or composition of Congress in the upcoming 2020 election could result in new legislation, rules and regulatory and enforcement policies with an adverse impact on our business.

On June 29, 2020, in the Seila Law LLC v. CFPB case, the Supreme Court ruled that the single-director structure of the CFPB is unconstitutional. The Court noted the agency's structure vests too much power in the hands of one person, and that a president has broad constitutional authority to appoint and remove agency heads. This ruling, which gives a sitting president the ability to fire a CFPB director without cause, or “at-will,” could have far-reaching implications to our risk factors as describedbusiness in the event a president appoints a director who has a negative view of our 2018 Form 10-K forbusiness and/or industry.

The CFPB recently finalized a new rule that may affect the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the following:

Ourconsumer lending industry, is strictly regulated everywhere we operate, and these regulationsthis rule could have a material adverse effect on our businessU.S. consumer lending business.

In the U.S. and Canada, our business is subject2019 Proposed Rule, the CFPB sought to a variety of statutes and regulations enacted by government entities atrescind the federal, state or provincial, and municipal levels. These regulations affect our business in many ways, and include regulations relating to:

The 2017 Final CFPB Payday Rule is currently stayed as a title lender, including requirements regarding noticesresult of an industry legal challenge 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),payment provisions is currently unknown. In light of this industry challenge, we cannot predict when it is possible that we will make further changes to our payment practices in a manner that will increase costs and/ultimately go into effect 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.

If the payment provisions of this bill and alternatives available to service customersthe 2017 Final CFPB Payday Rule becomes effective in the California market.current proposed form, we will need to make certain changes to our payment processes and customer notifications in our U.S. consumer lending business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The 2017 Incentive Plan permits the netting of common stock upon vesting of restricted stock units to satisfy individual tax withholding requirements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we reacquired 2,790 shares of common stock with a weighted average fair market value of $12.14 as a result of such tax withholdings.

In April 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of its common stock. The repurchase program, which commenced June 2019, will continue until completed or terminated. CURO expects the purchases to be made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or both, at the Company's discretion and subject to market conditions and other factors. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with equity plans or other corporate purposes.
