SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation

The terms “CURO," "we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company,” refer to CURO Group Holdings Corp. and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a combined entity, except where otherwise stated. The term "CFTC" refers to CURO Financial Technologies Corp., a subsidiary of CURO, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and with the accounting policies described in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The adjustments consist solely of normal recurring adjustments. You should read the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or for the year ending December 31, 2018.

We completed our initial public offering ("IPO") in December 2017. Prior to our IPO we effected a 36-for-1 split of our common stock. We have retroactively adjusted all share and per share data for all periods presented to reflect the stock split as if the stock split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise generally required of public companies.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Some of the significant estimates that we have made in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for loan losses, certain assumptions related to goodwill and intangibles, accruals related to self-insurance, Credit Services Organization ("CSO") guarantee liability and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Nature of Operations

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). Under modification accounting, an entity is required to re-value its equity awards each time there is a modification to the terms of the awards. The provisions in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to account for the effects of a modification, unless certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update were effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2017-09 was effective for us as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive income ("ASU 2018-02"). Current US GAAP requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the period the change is enacted, including items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income (“stranded tax effects”). ASU 2018-02 allows, but does not require, companies to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act") from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Additionally, ASU 2018-02 requires new disclosures by all companies, whether they opt to do the reclassification or not. The provisions of ASU 2018-02 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Companies should apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 Tax Act is recognized. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of ASU 2018-02 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments ("ASU 2017-13"). ASU 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for public entities related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of Topic 606 and Topic 842 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplified the goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 of the test which requires an entity to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, and is limited to the amount of total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The provisions of ASU 2017-04 are effective for a public entity's annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and effective for us, as an emerging growth company, in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of a business and provides a framework that gives an entity a basis for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset or a business and provides a screen to determine when a set (an integrated set of assets and activities) is not a business. The screen requires a determination that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, ASU 2017-01 (i) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. ASU 2017-01 is effective prospectively for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods therein, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016-15 is currently effective for public companies, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the potential impact ASU 2016-15 will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ("ASU 2016-13"). This ASU modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We anticipate that ASU 2016-13 will impact our current process for measuring credit losses and are currently assessing the impact it will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payment arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged and lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We expect ASU 2016-02 will have an impact on our balance sheet with recognition of right-of-use assets which were previously operating leases. We are currently assessing the full impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and expect an estimate of impact in the second half of 2018.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”) which requires (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) public entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). ASU 2016-01 eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is currently effective for public companies, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-07 eliminates the requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is currently effective for public companies, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect that adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2015-14”), which deferred the effect date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), for public companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. If we are no longer an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2018, we must adopt the provision of this standard retroactively as of January 1, 2018. In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. We do not expect that adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
