Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

We prepare our consolidated financial statements and footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation expense, capitalized software development costs, interest rate cap, the useful lives of long-lived assets, our effective income tax rate and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, current events and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature; actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. The effective date for the standard was for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We elected to early adopt this ASU in fiscal year 2018. See Note 10 for a discussion of our derivatives.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which creates ASC 842, Leases, and supersedes ASC 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The new standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. We elected the prospective transition option provided by the ASU that would not require earlier periods to be restated upon adoption. We elected the package of practical expedients afforded under the standard which permit an entity not to: (i) reassess whether existing or expired contracts are or contain a lease, (ii) reassess the lease classification, and (iii) reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. Our operating lease commitments, which were primarily real estate leases, were recognized as a $37.5 million lease liability when we adopted the new standard. The balance, which is included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $39.0 million at September 30, 2019. We simultaneously recognized a $37.5 million right-of-use asset when we adopted the standard. Our right-of-use asset was partially offset by $10.1 million of existing deferred rent and lease incentives resulting in a net right-of-use asset of $27.6 million which is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our total operating lease cost for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.5 million and allocated within operating expenses. The weighted average remaining lease term was 7.2 years and we utilized a weighted average discount rate of approximately 7%.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 will change the impairment model and how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets. The standard requires entities to use the new expected credit loss impairment model which will replace the incurred loss model used today. The new guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, although we do not intend to do so. We continue to assess the impact of adoption on January 1, 2020. We have substantially completed the key requirements for adoption including model development, data acquisition and economic forecasts and we have completed a parallel run of the new process. The results of those simulations indicate that the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on our allowance for credit losses. The actual impact at adoption will depend on the outstanding balances, characteristics of our portfolio, macroeconomic conditions and forecasted information at the date of adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. Under the amendments in the new ASU, goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard will become effective for us January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, although we do not intend to do so. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material impact.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material impact.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Because our loans and finance receivables and fixed-rate debt are not measured at fair value, we are required to disclose their fair value in accordance with ASC 825. Due to the lack of transparency and comparable loans and finance receivables, we utilize an income valuation technique to estimate fair value. We utilize industry-standard modeling, such as discounted cash flow models, to arrive at an estimate of fair value and may utilize third-party service providers to assist in the valuation process. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

We evaluate our financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period.
