NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The terms “CURO" 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 wholly-owned subsidiary, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

The Company has 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 its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. On February 25, 2019, the Company's U.K. segment was placed into administration, which resulted in treatment of the segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), current and prior period financial information is presented as if the U.K. segment was excluded from continuing operations. For further information about the placement of the segment into administration, refer to "--Nature of Operations" below.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the 2018 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, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

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

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 the Company 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") liability for losses and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Nature of Operations

CURO is 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, through February 25, 2019, the United Kingdom ("U.K.").

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019, would not be implemented. In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries, Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively, “the U.K. Subsidiaries”), insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration 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.

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, at which point 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 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 when received. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

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

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

• Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of March 31, 2019 include $32.4 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for prior periods do not include any past-due loans.

• Revenues: for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, revenues include accrued interest on past-due loan balances of $8.9 million, while revenues in prior periods do not include comparable amounts.

• Provision for Losses: effective January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by total charge-offs less total recoveries ("NCOs") plus changes to the required allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs now include unpaid principal and up to 90 days of related accrued interest, as compared to prior periods, NCO amounts and rates are higher and the required 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 rose from 9.6% as of December 31, 2018, to 19.5% as of March 31, 2019.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company corrected immaterial errors to its prior presentation of cash flows for loan originations and collections on principal. The Company determined that the historical presentation was in error by not conforming to US GAAP because it included outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections in Cash provided by operating activities rather than in Cash used in investing activities. Accordingly the Company corrected previously-filed financial statements by reclassifying cash outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections of principal of $56.4 million from net Cash provided by operating activities to net Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total cash flows for each period presented did not change. The Company concluded that the errors were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company has revised its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 presented in this Form 10-Q. A summary of the correction follows:

(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
As Reported:(1)
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	66,390
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(2,500		)
As Corrected:
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	122,743
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(58,853		)
(1) "As reported" balances include amounts from continuing operations historically presented within these captions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established 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.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right of use assets ("ROU assets") and additional operating lease liabilities ("lease liabilities") of $135.4 million and $143.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019. Prepaid rent of $2.7 million and deferred liability of $10.9 million were included in ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings. See Note 14 - "Leases" for additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842.

ASU 2018-12

In February 2018, the 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"), which permits the reclassification to retained earnings of disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act"). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEC Disclosure Update

In the third quarter of 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("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. Other than the amendment's expanded disclosure requirement for interim financial statements to disclose both current and comparative quarter and year-to-date reconciliations of changes in stockholders' equity, it did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2019, nor is it expected to have a material impact on the Company's annual disclosures or financial statements.

NOTE 2 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In August 2018, the Company closed on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV facility, whereby certain loan receivables were sold to wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purposes subsidiaries ("VIEs") to collateralize debt incurred under the facility.

As the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company includes the assets and liabilities related to the VIEs in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As required, the Company parenthetically discloses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the VIEs’ assets that can only be used to settle the VIEs' obligations and liabilities if the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse against the Company's general credit.

The carrying amounts of consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities associated with the VIE subsidiaries were as follows:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Assets
Restricted cash	$	15,460	$	12,840

NOTE 4 – CREDIT SERVICES ORGANIZATION

The CSO fee receivable amounts under CSO programs were $11.0 million and $14.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company bears the risk of loss through its guarantee to purchase specific customer loans that are in default from the lenders. The terms of these loans range from six to 18 months. See the 2018 Form 10-K for further details of the Company's accounting policy. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the maximum amount payable under all such guarantees was $51.6 million and $66.9 million, respectively. If the Company is required to pay any portion of the total amount of the loans it has guaranteed, it will attempt to recover some or the entire amount from the applicable customers. The Company holds no collateral in respect of the guarantees. The Company estimates a liability for losses associated with the guaranty provided

to the CSO lenders using assumptions and methodologies similar to the Allowance for loan losses, which it recognizes for its consumer loans. Liability for incurred losses on CSO loans Guaranteed by the Company was $8.7 million and $12.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company placed $13.5 million and $17.2 million in collateral accounts for the benefit of lenders at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balances required to be maintained in these collateral accounts vary by lender, typically based on a percentage of the outstanding loan balances held by the lender. The percentage of outstanding loan balances required for collateral is negotiated between the Company and each such lender.

NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
8.25% Senior Secured Notes (due 2025)	$	677,153	$	676,661
Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility	88,915		107,479
Senior Revolver	—		20,000
Long-term debt	$	766,068	$	804,140

8.25% Senior Secured Notes

In August 2018, the Company issued 8.25% Senior Secured Notes which mature on September 1, 2025 ("8.25% Senior Secured Notes"). Interest on the notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1. In connection with the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes, the balance of capitalized financing costs of approximately $12.8 million, net of amortization, is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of "Long-term debt." These costs are amortized over the term of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes as a component of interest expense.

The proceeds of this issuance were used (i) to redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Secured Notes of CFTC, (ii) to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the five-year revolving credit facility of CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary ("CURO Receivables"), which consisted 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 therewith.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes.

12.00% Senior Secured Notes

In February and November 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, of 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2022. In connection with these 12.00% Senior Secured Notes, the Company capitalized financing costs, of approximately $18.3 million. These costs were being amortized over the term of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes as a component of interest expense.

On March 7, 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of its 12.00% Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering as required by the underlying indenture (the transaction whereby the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were partially redeemed, the “Redemption”), at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest paid thereon, to the date of Redemption. The Redemption price and the amortization of a corresponding portion of the capitalized financing costs resulted in a loss on Redemption of $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Following the Redemption, $527.5 million of the original outstanding principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes remained outstanding. The Redemption was conducted pursuant to the Indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent.

The remainder of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were extinguished effective September 7, 2018 using proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes as described above. The extinguishment of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes resulted in a pretax loss of $69.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility

On August 2, 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the "Canada SPV Borrower") and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provides for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million ("Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility"). The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75% plus the three-month CDOR. The Canada SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In April 2019, the facility's maturity date was extended one year and now matures in 2023. As of March 31, 2019, the Canada SPV Borrower was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility.

As of March 31, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility were $88.9 million. For further information on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV, refer to Note 2, "Variable Interest Entities."

Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility

In November 2016, CURO Receivables and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Victory Park Management, LLC and certain other lenders that provides for an $80.0 million term loan and $70.0 million revolving borrowing capacity that can expand over time (collectively, “Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility”). Borrowings under this facility bear interest at an annual rate of up to 12.00% plus the greater of (i) 1.0% per annum and (ii) the three-month LIBOR. The SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In connection with this facility, the balance of capitalized financing costs of approximately $5.3 million, net of amortization, was included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of "Long-term debt" and was being amortized over the term of the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility.

On September 30, 2018, a portion of the proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes were used to extinguish the revolver's balance of $42.4 million. In October 2018, the Company extinguished the remaining term loan balance of $80.0 million and made the final termination payment of $2.7 million, resulting in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Senior Revolver

On September 1, 2017, the Company entered into a $25.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Loan Facility (the “Senior Revolver”). The terms of the Senior Revolver generally conform to the related provisions in the Indenture dated February 15, 2017 for the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and complements the Company's other financing sources, while providing seasonal short-term liquidity. In February 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $29.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes based upon consolidated tangible assets. Additionally, in November 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $50.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver is now syndicated with participation by four banks.

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 plus 5.00% (subject to a 5% overall rate minimum) and is repayable on demand.

The terms of the Senior Revolver require that its outstanding balance be zero for at least 30 consecutive days in each calendar year. The Senior Revolver is guaranteed by all subsidiaries that guarantee the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and is secured by a lien on substantially all assets of CURO and the guarantor subsidiaries that is senior to the lien securing the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The revolver was undrawn at March 31, 2019.

The Senior Revolver contains various conditions to borrowing and affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants are (i) minimum eligible collateral value, (ii) consolidated interest coverage ratio and (iii) consolidated leverage ratio. The Senior Revolver also contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in termination of the lenders’ commitments to lend and the acceleration of all obligations under the Senior Revolver. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Senior Revolver.

Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility

Cash Money Cheque Cashing, Inc., a Canadian subsidiary ("Cash Money"), maintains a C$10.0 million revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada (the "Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility"), which provides short-term liquidity required to meet the working capital needs of the Company's Canadian operations. Aggregate draws under the revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of: (i) the borrowing base, which is defined as a percentage of cash, deposits in transit and accounts receivable, and

15

CURO GROUP HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(unaudited)

(ii) C$10.0 million. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing capacity under the Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by C$0.3 million in stand-by-letters of credit.

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

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Subordinated Stockholder Debt

As part of the acquisition of Cash Money in 2011, the Company was provided indemnification for certain claims through issuance of an escrow note to the seller. This note bears interest at 10.0% per annum, and quarterly interest payments are due until the note matures in May 2019. The balance of this note at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $2.2 million.

NOTE 6 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company's stockholder-approved 2017 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5.0 million shares, subject to certain adjustment provisions, which may be issued in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other awards that may be settled in or based upon common stock. Awards may be granted to officers, employees, consultants and directors. The 2017 Incentive Plan provides that shares of common stock subject to awards granted become available for re-issuance if such awards expire, terminate, are canceled for any reason or are forfeited by the recipient.

In March 2019, the Company awarded performance-based RSUs that will vest if certain performance conditions are met by the Company. These RSUs were designed to drive the performance of the management team toward achievement of key corporate objectives and will only vest if the performance targets are met by March 14, 2022. Expense recognition for the performance awards, which was immaterial to the first quarter of 2019, commences if and when it is determined that attainment of the performance goal is probable.

RSUs that have time-based vesting are typically valued at the date of grant based on the value of the Company's common stock and are expensed using the straight-line method over the service period. RSUs that require the achievement of a performance condition to vest are typically valued using the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. Grants of RSUs do not confer full stockholder rights such as voting rights and cash dividends, but provide for additional dividend equivalent RSU awards in lieu of cash dividends. Unvested shares of RSUs may be forfeited upon termination of employment depending on the circumstances of the termination, or failure to achieve the required performance condition, if applicable.

A summary of the status of time-based and performance-based RSUs as of March 31, 2019 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2019 are presented in the following table:

	Number of RSUs
	Time-Based		Performance-Based	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
December 31, 2018	1,060,350		—	$	14.29
Granted	434,272		394,752	9.93
Vested	(17,406	)	—	15.94
Forfeited	(68,778	)	—	14.05
March 31, 2019	1,408,438		394,752	$	12.28

Share-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, which includes compensation costs from stock options and RSUs was $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of "Corporate, district and other" expense.

As of March 31, 2019, there was $20.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs, of which $17.1 million related to stock options and time-based RSUs and $3.3 million related to performance-based RSUs. Total unrecognized compensation costs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 25.9% and 31.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act became law, which reduced the statutory U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, enacted a one-time “deemed repatriation” tax on unremitted earnings accumulated in non-U.S. jurisdictions and imposed a new minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"). The Company provided an estimate of the deemed repatriation tax as of December 31, 2017 and pursuant to further IRS guidance, the Company recorded an additional accrual of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company recorded an estimated GILTI tax of $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company intends to reinvest Canada earnings indefinitely in its Canadian operations and therefore has not provided for any non-U.S. withholding tax that would be assessed on dividend distributions. If the earnings of $165.8 million were distributed to the U.S., the Company would be subject to Canadian withholding taxes of estimated $8.3 million. In the event the earnings were distributed to the U.S., the Company would adjust the income tax provision for the applicable period and would determine the amount of foreign tax credit that would be available.

NOTE 8 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. 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.

Senior Revolver	20,000		—		—		20,000		20,000

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

In connection with CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for loans that the Company arranges for consumers on the third-party lenders’ behalf. The Company is required to purchase from the lender defaulted loans that it has guaranteed.

The fair value of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes was based on broker quotations. The fair values of the Non-Recourse Canada SPV facility and the Senior Revolver were based on the cash needed for their respective final settlements.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In connection with the Company's initial public offering in December 2017, the underwriters had a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount

for over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised this option and purchased 1.0 million shares on January 5, 2018. The exercise of this option provided additional proceeds of $13.1 million.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Net income from continuing operations	$	28,673	$	24,913
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	8,375		(1,621		)
Net income	$	37,048	$	23,292
Weighted average common shares - basic	46,424		45,506
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units	895		1,910
Weighted average common shares - diluted	47,319		47,416
Basic income (loss) per share:
Continuing operations	$	0.62	$	0.55
Discontinued operations	0.18		(0.04		)
Basic income per share	$	0.80	$	0.51
Diluted income (loss) per share:
Continuing operations	$	0.61	$	0.53
Discontinued operations	0.18		(0.03		)
Diluted income per share	$	0.79	$	0.50

Potential shares of common stock that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share or decreasing diluted loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating "Diluted earnings per share." For the three months ended March 31,2019, there were 1.4 million 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 months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company utilizes the "control number" concept in the computation of Diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing 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 11 – SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The following table provides supplemental cash flow information:

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews financial information for operational decision making purposes. During the first quarter of 2019, the U.K. subsidiaries met discontinued operations criteria, resulting in two reportable operating segments: the U.S. and Canada.

Management’s evaluation of performance utilizes gross margin and operating profit before the allocation of interest expense and professional services. The following reporting segment results reflect this basis for evaluation and were determined in accordance with the same accounting principles used in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table illustrates summarized financial information concerning reportable segments.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018
Revenues by segment:
U.S.	$	226,119	$	204,593
Canada	51,820		46,250
Consolidated revenue	$	277,939	$	250,843
Gross margin by segment:
U.S.	$	89,803	$	91,344
Canada	15,694		14,502
Consolidated gross margin	$	105,497	$	105,846
Segment operating income:
U.S.	$	31,195	$	26,832
Canada	7,524		9,548
Consolidated operating profit	$	38,719	$	36,380
Expenditures for long-lived assets by segment:
U.S.	$	2,430	$	788
Canada	689		754
Consolidated expenditures for long-lived assets	$	3,119	$	1,542

The following table provides gross loans receivable by segment:

U.S.	$	321,534	$	361,473
Canada	231,681		210,058
Total gross loans receivable	$	553,215	$	571,531

The following table provides net long-lived assets, comprised of property and equipment, by segment. These amounts are aggregated on a legal entity basis and do not necessarily reflect where the asset is physically located:

(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
U.S.	$	46,360	$	47,918
Canada	28,900		28,832
Total net long-lived assets	$	75,260	$	76,750

The Company's CODM does not review assets by segment for purposes of allocating resources or decision-making purposes; therefore, total assets by segment are not disclosed.

NOTE 13 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Securities Litigation

On December 5, 2018, a putative securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, captioned Yellowdog Partners, LP v. CURO Group Holdings Corp., Donald F. Gayhardt, William Baker and Roger W. Dean, Civil Action No. 18-2662. The complaint alleges that the Company and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and that the individual defendants also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as “control persons” of CURO. Plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on behalf of a class of investors who purchased Company common stock between July 31, 2018 and October 24, 2018.

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

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

Related to this securities litigation matter, the Company has also received an inquiry from the SEC regarding the Company's public disclosures surrounding its efforts to transition the Canadian inventory of products from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans.

City of Austin

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

Other Legal Matters

The Company is a defendant in certain litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, based upon the advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the impact of any of these pending litigation matters, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14 – LEASES

The Company entered into operating leases for the buildings in which it operates that expire at various times through 2040. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

22

CURO GROUP HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

The majority of the leases have an original term of five years with two, five-year renewal options. 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 several also require payment of certain period costs, including maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company had operating lease costs of approximately $8.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2019. Some of the leases are with related parties and have terms similar to the non-related party leases previously described. Operating lease costs on unrelated third-party leases was $7.6 million and for related party leases was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the liabilities and the operating cash flows was $8.6 million.

The following table summarizes the future minimum lease payments that the Company is contractually obligated to make under operating leases as of March 31, 2019:

(in thousands)	Third-Party			Related-Party			Total
2019	$	23,222		$	2,764		$	25,986

Operating lease liabilities	$	130,298		$	13,139		$	143,437

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.1 years, and the weighted average operating discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 10.3%.

NOTE 15 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

The following table presents financial results of the U.K. Subsidiaries, which meet the criteria of Discontinued Operations and, therefore, are excluded from the Company's results of continuing operations:

NOTE 16 – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

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

the outstanding principal amount of the current Senior Secured Notes to a one-time waiver with respect to the restrictions contained in Section 5.07(a) of the indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes to permit the dividend.

In February 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million aggregate principal amount 12.00% Senior Secured Notes, the proceeds of which were used together with available cash, to (i) redeem the outstanding 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 of CURO Intermediate, (ii) redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2017 and (iii) pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the offering. CFTC sold the Senior Secured Notes to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.

The following condensed consolidating financing information, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i) CURO as the issuer of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes;

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share Repurchase Program

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 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.

Cognical Investment

In April 2019, as part of a broader capital structure reorganization, the Company made an additional $2.8 million cash investment in Cognical Holdings, which operates under the Zibby brand. This funding round is expected to remain open through June 11, 2019. As a result of its investments in Cognical as well as Cognical’s overall reorganization, the Company expects to own a 30% to 35% interest in its outstanding shares, dependent upon total new capital contributed by other investors. When the funding round is completed, the Company expects to have financial information to determine the fair market value of its investments in Cognical Holdings.

Recent Developments

Revolve Finance. In February 2019, we launched Revolve Finance, sponsored by Republic Bank of Chicago, which is being introduced across the Company's U.S. branches. This product provides customers with a checking account solution, with FDIC-insured deposits, that combines a Visa-branded debit card, a number of technology-enabled tools and optional overdraft protection.

Metabank. In April 2018, we announced that we expect to begin offering U.S. consumers a new line of credit product through a relationship with MetaBank® ("Meta"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meta Financial Group, Inc. We are working closely with Meta towards an eventual product launch. Given that the agreement with Meta does not contain any exclusive dealing provisions, we are also evaluating opportunities with other potential bank partners to offer similar products.

Credit facilities. For recent developments related to our Senior Secured Notes, SPV facilities and other capital resources, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

U.K. Developments. On February 25, 2019, we announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 31, 2019, related to Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively the "U.K. Subsidiaries"), would not be implemented. We also announced that effective February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of our U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators ("Administrators") for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place the management, affairs, business and property of the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. As a result, we deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries as of February 25, 2019 and presented the U.K. Subsidiaries as Discontinued Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q").

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, total revenue grew $27.1 million, or 10.8%, to $277.9 million, compared to the prior-year period, predominantly driven by growth in Installment and Open-End loans from strong customer demand and product introductions in new markets. Geographically, total revenue in the U.S. and Canada grew 10.5% and 12.0%, respectively. From a product perspective, Unsecured Installment and Secured Installment revenues rose 8.3% and 2.3%, respectively, driven by related loan growth. Year-over-year Single-Pay usage was negatively impacted by regulatory changes in Ontario as well as a continued general product mix shift from Single-Pay to Installment and Open-End loans in the U.S. and Canada. Open-End revenues rose 94.2% on organic growth in legacy states in the U.S. and growth in Canada, primarily after the introduction of Open-End products in Ontario in the third quarter of 2018. Open-End loans in Canada grew $26.0 million, or 16.4%, sequentially (which means the change from the fourth quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019) and Single-Pay loan balances stabilized in Canada sequentially. Ancillary revenues increased 36.5% versus the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to the sale of insurance to Installment and Open-End loan customers in Canada.

Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis

Unsecured Installment Loans

Unsecured Installment revenue and gross combined loans receivable increased from the prior year quarter due to growth in the U.S., primarily in California and CSO. Unsecured Installment gross combined loans receivable grew $11.2 million, or 5.3%, compared to March 31, 2018, despite a decline in Canada of $22.6 million due to mix shift to Open-End loans. In the U.S., Unsecured Installment gross combined loans receivable increased 19.5% year-over-year. Canada was negatively impacted by the growth and customer preference of Open-End during 2018, as further discussed below. In Canada, total Unsecured Installment loan originations declined $14.5 million, or 66.3%, from the first quarter of 2018 also due to mix shift. U.S. originations were up $12.1 million, or 9.5%, versus the prior-year quarter.

The net charge-off (“NCO”) rate for Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans receivables in the first quarter of 2019 increased approximately 377 bps from the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to geographic mix shift from Canada to the U.S. Canadian balances were down $22.6 million compared to the prior year due to shifting customer preference from Installment to Open-End, while U.S. balances grew $28.4 million due to customer demand and higher advertising spend. As a result, the U.S. percentage mix of total Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans receivable rose from 76.4% last year to 91.2% this year. The absolute level of NCO rates in the U.S. is higher than Canada, so the relative growth in the U.S. balances resulted in an overall increase in the consolidated NCO rate for Company Owned Unsecured Installment loans. In addition, the NCO rate in the U.S. rose from 20.5% in the first quarter of 2018 to 23.3% in the first quarter of 2019, because of both credit-line increases and expansion of the Avio brand. As an immature portfolio, Avio has higher relative NCO rates.

The required Unsecured Installment Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans receivable ("allowance coverage") increased sequentially from 19.8% to 20.8%, primarily as a result of higher NCO rates. Past-due Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans receivable as a percentage of related total receivables increased 230 bps to 25.2% from 22.9% in the prior-year quarter on a consolidated basis. NCO rates for Unsecured Installment loans Guaranteed by the Company decreased 314 bps compared to the same quarter in 2018. The required CSO liability for losses decreased sequentially from 15.0% to 14.4% during the first quarter of 2019 due to improving NCO and past-due rate comparisons.

Open-End Loans

Open-End loan balances as of March 31, 2019 increased by $189.2 million compared to March 31, 2018, primarily due to the launch of Open-End in Canada in late 2017, which accounted for $167.1 million of the total loan growth. Open-End balances in Canada grew $26.0 million sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2018 ($22.2 million on a constant currency basis). Remaining year-over-year loan growth was driven by the organic growth in seasoned markets, such as Virginia, Tennessee and Kansas.

Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change

Effective January 1, 2019, we modified the timeframe in 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. 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.

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

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

• Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of March 31, 2019 include $32.4 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for prior periods do not include any past-due loans.

• Revenues: for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, revenues include accrued interest on past-due loan balances of $8.9 million, while revenues in prior 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 changes to the required 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 required 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 rose from 9.6% as of December 31, 2018 to 19.5% as of March 31, 2019.

Single-Pay

Single-Pay revenue and related loans receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2019 declined year-over-year compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to regulatory changes in Canada (rate changes in Ontario and British Columbia) that accelerated the shift to Open-End loans, as well as a continued general product shift away from Single-Pay to Installment and Open-End loans in the U.S. and Canada. The aforementioned Open-End growth in Canada ($167.1 million year-over-year) in part came at the expense of Single-Pay loan balances, which shrank year-over-year by $15.4 million. The Single-Pay NCO rate improved 160 bps year-over-year.

Gross combined loans receivable by product are presented below (year-over-year sequential comparisons for Open-End are affected by the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change):

Gross combined loans receivable increased $188.7 million, or 44.2%, to $615.1 million as of March 31, 2019 compared to $426.4 million as of March 31, 2018. Geographically, gross combined loans receivable grew 18.4% and 125.8%, respectively, in the U.S. and Canada, explained further by product in the following sections. Sequentially, gross combined loans receivable declined $36.8 million, or 5.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $65.6 million, or 13.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 on expected and normal seasonal trends from U.S. federal income tax refunds. The sequential decline for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was offset by continued growth in Canada Open-End products, discussed further below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased $27.1 million, or 10.8%, to $277.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $250.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes accrued interest on past-due Open-End loan balances of $8.9 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by higher provision rate and higher allowance discussed further below. U.S. revenue increased 10.5% driven by volume growth. Canadian revenue increased 12.0% (13.9% on a constant currency basis) as volume growth offset yield compression from negative regulatory impacts on Single-Pay loan rates and the significant product mix-shift to Open-End loans.

Provision for losses increased $25.5 million, or 33.2%, to $102.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 because of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, increased earning asset volume year-over-year and higher NCO rates as further described in "--Segment Analysis" below.

Cost of Providing Services

The total cost of providing services increased $1.9 million, or 2.9%, to $70.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $68.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily because of increased loan servicing costs on higher volume, higher performance-based variable compensation and $0.2 million of restructuring costs to better align our store staffing with in-store customer traffic growth as more of our customers transact with us digitally.

Operating Expenses

Corporate, district and other expenses increased $13.7 million, or 38.6%, primarily as a result of $7.8 million for the bondholder consent associated with discontinuing our U.K. operations and other related U.K. separation costs, $1.5 million of restructuring costs from our previously-announced reduction-in-force during January 2019, higher professional fees associated with our first year-end for full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, and higher performance-based variable compensation.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 25.9%, compared to 31.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act"), the corporate income tax rate for the U.S. decreased from 35% in 2017 to 21%, effective 2018. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included accruals of $1.2 million for adjustments to estimates of the tax on prior years' foreign repatriation and $0.6 million for the then-new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax. The $1.2 million additional provision on prior years' foreign repatriation was the result of additional interpretative guidance from the IRS issued during the

42

first quarter of 2018. These two items increased the effective income tax rate by 4.9 percentage points. Excluding the impact of these items, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 would have been 26.6%.

U.S. Segment Results - For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

First quarter U.S. revenues increased by $21.5 million, or 10.5%, to $226.1 million. U.S. revenue growth was driven by a $59.6 million, or 18.4%, increase in gross combined loans receivable to $383.4 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $323.8 million at March 31, 2018. Additionally, U.S. revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes accrued interest on past-due Open-End loan balances of $7.6 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by higher provision rate and higher allowance discussed further below. Unsecured Installment receivables increased year-over-year $33.8 million, or 19.5%. Open-End receivables increased $22.2 million, or 64.2% year-over-year, primarily because of organic growth in Virginia, Tennessee and Kansas. Secured Installment gross combined receivables increased from the prior year period by $0.6 million, or 0.7%, while Single-Pay receivables grew $3.1 million, or 9.3%.

The increase of $20.6 million, or 32.1%, in the provision for losses was due to (i) the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, (ii) year-over-year higher earning asset volume for Unsecured Installment loans, (iii) higher NCO rates, primarily for Company Owned Unsecured Installment loans, and (iv) the first quarter 2018 provision for losses, which was impacted favorably by adjustments to allowance coverage levels. The provision for loan losses and related loan portfolio performance is further analyzed under "Loan Volume and Performance Analysis" above.

U.S. cost of providing services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $51.3 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 4.9%, compared to $48.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to $1.2 million, or 23.2%, higher advertising costs, concentrated in the online channel. Advertising as a percentage of revenue was 2.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, up slightly from the prior-year period of 2.5%. The remaining increase is due to higher performance-based variable compensation costs and the aforementioned restructuring costs.

Corporate, district and other operating expenses increased $13.3 million, or 43.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to $7.8 million of U.K. disposition-related costs, $1.9 million higher performance-based variable compensation costs, $1.4 million of restructuring costs and $1.3 million higher professional fees.

43

U.S. interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 decreased by $7.6 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our refinancing activities in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance to extinguish our higher interest-rate $527.5 million 12.00% Senior Secured Notes. In addition, we entered into a Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility in the third quarter of 2018 with a lower interest rate than our previous U.S. SPV facility, which we fully repaid with the proceeds from our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes.

Canada Segment Results - For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Canada revenue increased $5.6 million, or 12.0%, to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $46.3 million in the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased $6.5 million, or 13.9%. Revenue growth in Canada was impacted by the significant asset growth and product mix shift from the accelerated transition from Single-Pay and Unsecured Installment loans to Open-End loans that have a lower yield. Additionally, Canada revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes accrued interest on past-due Open-End loan balances of $1.3 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by higher provision rate and higher allowance discussed further below. Single-Pay yields were negatively affected by regulatory rate changes in Ontario and British Columbia. On a constant currency basis, total gross loan receivables grew by $137.3 million, or 133.8%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

As expected, Single-Pay revenue decreased $14.7 million, or 42.9%, to $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and Single-Pay receivables decreased $15.4 million, or 31.5%, to $33.4 million from $48.7 million in the prior year. The decreases in Single-Pay revenue and receivables were due to the product mix shift in Canada from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans and by regulatory changes effective January and July 2018 that lowered Single Pay pricing year-over-year.

Canadian non-Single-Pay revenue increased $20.3 million, or 169.5%, to $32.2 million compared to $12.0 million the same quarter a year ago, on $144.5 million, or 268.2%, growth in related loan balances. The increase was primarily related to the launch of Open-End products in Alberta and Ontario in the fourth quarter of 2017, and significant expansion of the Open-End product in Ontario in late 2018.

The provision for losses increased $4.9 million, or 38.7%, to $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $12.6 million in the prior-year period, because of upfront provisioning on Open-End loan volumes and mix shift from Single-Pay loans and Unsecured Installment to Open-End loans. Total Open-End and Installment loans grew by $24.8 million sequentially during the first quarter of 2019, compared to sequential growth of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis, provision for losses increased by $5.1 million, or 41.0%.

The total cost of providing services in Canada remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior-year period. Advertising costs were lower by $1.3 million, or 47.5%, partially offset by an increase in non-advertising cost of providing services of $0.8 million. There was no material impact on the cost of providing services from exchange rate changes.

Canada operating expenses increased $3.2 million, or 64.9%, to $8.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $5.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to interest expense on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility that began in August 2018.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. 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, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, transaction-related costs, share-based compensation, intangible asset amortization and cumulative tax effect of adjustments, on a total and per share basis);

• EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization);

• Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

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 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. 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. GAAP, we provide Gross Combined Loans Receivable consisting of owned loans receivable plus loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO programs, which we guarantee but do not include in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 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. GAAP Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Combined Loans Receivable should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, segment operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other liquidity measure derived in accordance with U.S. 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. 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. 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. 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

45

operations reflect the number of diluted shares we would have reported if reporting net income from continuing operations under U.S. GAAP.

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

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

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

(1)	For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the $11.7 million of loss on extinguishment of debt was for the redemption of $77.5 million of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 issued by CFTC.
(2)	Restructuring costs of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were due to eliminating 121 positions in North America. The store employee reductions help better align store staffing with in-store customer traffic and volume patterns, as more of our growth comes from online channels and as store customers require less time in stores as they conduct more of the follow-up activities online. The elimination of certain corporate positions relate to efficiency initiatives and will allow the Company to reallocate investment to strategic growth activities.
(3)	U.K. related costs of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 relate to placing the U.K. Subsidiaries into administration on February 25, 2019, which includes $7.6 million to obtain consent from the holders of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes to deconsolidate the U.K. Segment and $0.2 million for other costs.
(4)	We approved the adoption of share-based compensation plans during 2010 and 2017 for key members of senior management. The estimated fair value of share-based awards is recognized as non-cash compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
(5)	As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, which became law on December 22, 2017, we provided an estimate of the new repatriation tax as of December 31, 2017. Subsequent to further guidance published in the first quarter of 2018, we booked additional tax expense of $1.2 million for the 2017 repatriation tax. Additionally, the 2017 Tax Act provided for the GILTI tax starting in 2018 and we estimated and provided tax expense of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2018.
(6)	Other adjustments include deferred rent and the intercompany foreign exchange impact. Deferred rent represents the non-cash component of rent expense.

Currency Information

We operate in the U.S. and Canada, and discontinued operating in the U.K. as of February 25, 2019. Our consolidated results are reported in U.S. dollars.

Changes in our reported revenues and net income include the effect of changes in currency exchange rates. We translate all balance sheet accounts into U.S. dollars at the currency exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. We translate the statement of operations at the average rates of exchange for the period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Stockholders’ Equity.

Constant Currency Analysis

We have operations in the U.S. and Canada. In the three months ended March 31,2019 and 2018, approximately 18.6% and 18.4%, respectively, of our revenues were originated in Canadian Dollars. As a result, changes in our reported results include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar.

The following constant currency analysis removes the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilizes constant currency results in our analysis of segment performance. Our constant currency assessment assumes foreign exchange rates in the current fiscal periods remained the same as in the prior fiscal periods. All conversion rates below are based on the U.S. Dollar equivalent to the Canadian Dollar. We believe that the constant currency assessment below is a useful measure in assessing the comparable growth and profitability of our operations.

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, 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). During 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 the outstanding indebtedness under the five-year revolving credit facility of CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which consists of a term loan and revolving borrowing capacity, (iii) for general corporate purposes and (iv) to pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the foregoing.

As of March 31, 2019, 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, meet our debt obligations, and fund our share repurchase program. Our level of cash flow provided by operating activities typically experiences some seasonal fluctuation related to our levels of net income and changes in working capital levels, particularly loans receivable.

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

Available Credit Facilities and Other Resources

8.25% Senior Secured Notes

As noted above, we issued our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes in August 2018. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year. In connection with the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes, we capitalized financing costs of approximately $12.9 million, the balance of which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Long-Term Debt, and is being amortized over the term of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and included as a component of interest expense.

12.00% Senior Secured Notes

In February and November 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, of 12.00% Senior Secured Notes ("12.00% Senior Secured Notes"). Interest on the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2017. The February 2017 issuance refinanced similar notes that were nearing maturity. The extinguishment of the existing notes resulted in a pretax loss of $12.5 million during the September 2018. In connection with these 2017 debt issuances we capitalized financing costs of approximately $18.3 million, the balance of which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Long-Term Debt, and is being amortized over the term of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and included as a component of interest expense.

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

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

Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility

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

On October 11, 2018, we extinguished the remaining term loan balance of $80.0 million. We made the final termination payment of $2.7 million on October 26, 2018, resulting in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.7 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2018.

49

Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility

On August 2, 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the “Canada SPV Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provides for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million (“Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility”). The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75% plus the three-month CDOR. As of March 31, 2019, the carrying amount of outstanding borrowings from the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility was $88.9 million, after a reduction of net balances drawn of $20.9 million during the quarter.

Senior Revolver

On September 1, 2017, we closed on a $25.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Loan Facility (the "Senior Revolver"). In February 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $29.0 million. In November 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $50.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver is now syndicated with participation by four banks. The negative covenants of the Senior Revolver generally conform to the related provisions in the Indenture for our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. We believe this facility complements our other financing sources, while providing seasonal short-term liquidity. Under the Senior Revolver, there is $50.0 million maximum availability, including up to $5.0 million of standby letters of credit, for a one-year term, renewable for successive terms following annual review. The Senior Revolver accrues interest at the one-month LIBOR (which may not be negative) plus 5% per annum and is repayable on demand. The terms of the Senior Revolver require that the outstanding balance be reduced to 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 March 31, 2019, after paying down the outstanding balance of $20.0 million during the quarter.

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

Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility

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

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

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Cash Flows

The following highlights our cash flow activity and the sources and uses of funding during the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2019			2018
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	140,999		$	122,743
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(69,634		)	(58,853		)
Net cash used in continuing financing activities	(41,265		)	(83,255		)

Continuing Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the three months ended March 31,2019 was $141.0 million, primarily attributable to net income of $28.7 million, provision for loan losses of $102.4 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $12.1 million, partially offset by other non-cash expenses of $2.1 million. Major components of non-cash expenses include depreciation and amortization, provision for loan losses, and share-based compensation expense.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $122.7 million, primarily attributable to net income of $24.9 million, and non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and the provision for

50

loan losses for a total of $94.0 million, partially offset by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $3.9 million. Fees and service charges on our loans receivable change represented $5.1 million of the total change in operating assets and liabilities.

Continuing Investing Activities

Net cash used in continuing investing activities for the three months ended March 31,2019 was $69.6 million, primarily reflecting the net origination of loans of $64.9 million. In addition, we used cash to purchase approximately $3.1 million of property and equipment, including software licenses.

Net cash used in continuing investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $58.9 million, primarily reflecting the net origination of loans of $56.4 million. In addition, we used cash to purchase approximately $1.5 million of property and equipment, including software licenses, and to purchase $1.0 million of Cognical Holding preferred shares.

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

Continuing Financing Activities

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

Net cash used in continuing financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $83.3 million. We redeemed $77.5 million of our 12.00% Senior Secured Notes for $86.8 million (which included $9.3 million of call premium). The underwriters of our 2017 initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option on January 5, 2018 and acquired one million shares of our common stock, providing net proceeds to us of $13.1 million. We also had net borrowings of $9.5 million from our U.S. SPV Facility and our ABL Facility.

Contractual Obligations

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

Regulatory Environment and Compliance

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

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 2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to the amounts presented therein.

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.

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, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2018 because 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 of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

51

Remediation 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 has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation 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 March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on the effectiveness of controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The terms “CURO" 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 wholly-owned subsidiary, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

The Company has 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 its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. On February 25, 2019, the Company's U.K. segment was placed into administration, which resulted in treatment of the segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), current and prior period financial information is presented as if the U.K. segment was excluded from continuing operations. For further information about the placement of the segment into administration, refer to "--Nature of Operations" below.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the 2018 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, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

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

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 the Company 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") liability for losses and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Nature of Operations

CURO is 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, through February 25, 2019, the United Kingdom ("U.K.").

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019, would not be implemented. In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries, Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively, “the U.K. Subsidiaries”), insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration 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.

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, at which point 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 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 when received. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

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

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

• Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of March 31, 2019 include $32.4 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for prior periods do not include any past-due loans.

• Revenues: for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, revenues include accrued interest on past-due loan balances of $8.9 million, while revenues in prior periods do not include comparable amounts.

• Provision for Losses: effective January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by total charge-offs less total recoveries ("NCOs") plus changes to the required allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs now include unpaid principal and up to 90 days of related accrued interest, as compared to prior periods, NCO amounts and rates are higher and the required 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 rose from 9.6% as of December 31, 2018, to 19.5% as of March 31, 2019.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company corrected immaterial errors to its prior presentation of cash flows for loan originations and collections on principal. The Company determined that the historical presentation was in error by not conforming to US GAAP because it included outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections in Cash provided by operating activities rather than in Cash used in investing activities. Accordingly the Company corrected previously-filed financial statements by reclassifying cash outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections of principal of $56.4 million from net Cash provided by operating activities to net Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total cash flows for each period presented did not change. The Company concluded that the errors were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company has revised its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 presented in this Form 10-Q. A summary of the correction follows:

(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
As Reported:(1)
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	66,390
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(2,500		)
As Corrected:
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	122,743
Net cash used in continuing investing activities	(58,853		)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established 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.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right of use assets ("ROU assets") and additional operating lease liabilities ("lease liabilities") of $135.4 million and $143.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019. Prepaid rent of $2.7 million and deferred liability of $10.9 million were included in ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings. See Note 14 - "Leases" for additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842.

ASU 2018-12

In February 2018, the 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"), which permits the reclassification to retained earnings of disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act"). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEC Disclosure Update

In the third quarter of 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("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. Other than the amendment's expanded disclosure requirement for interim financial statements to disclose both current and comparative quarter and year-to-date reconciliations of changes in stockholders' equity, it did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2019, nor is it expected to have a material impact on the Company's annual disclosures or financial statements.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In August 2018, the Company closed on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV facility, whereby certain loan receivables were sold to wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purposes subsidiaries ("VIEs") to collateralize debt incurred under the facility.

As the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company includes the assets and liabilities related to the VIEs in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As required, the Company parenthetically discloses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the VIEs’ assets that can only be used to settle the VIEs' obligations and liabilities if the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse against the Company's general credit.

The carrying amounts of consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities associated with the VIE subsidiaries were as follows:

Guarantees [Abstract]

CREDIT SERVICES ORGANIZATION

CREDIT SERVICES ORGANIZATION

The CSO fee receivable amounts under CSO programs were $11.0 million and $14.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company bears the risk of loss through its guarantee to purchase specific customer loans that are in default from the lenders. The terms of these loans range from six to 18 months. See the 2018 Form 10-K for further details of the Company's accounting policy. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the maximum amount payable under all such guarantees was $51.6 million and $66.9 million, respectively. If the Company is required to pay any portion of the total amount of the loans it has guaranteed, it will attempt to recover some or the entire amount from the applicable customers. The Company holds no collateral in respect of the guarantees. The Company estimates a liability for losses associated with the guaranty provided to the CSO lenders using assumptions and methodologies similar to the Allowance for loan losses, which it recognizes for its consumer loans. Liability for incurred losses on CSO loans Guaranteed by the Company was $8.7 million and $12.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company placed $13.5 million and $17.2 million in collateral accounts for the benefit of lenders at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balances required to be maintained in these collateral accounts vary by lender, typically based on a percentage of the outstanding loan balances held by the lender. The percentage of outstanding loan balances required for collateral is negotiated between the Company and each such lender.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

LONG-TERM DEBT

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
8.25% Senior Secured Notes (due 2025)	$	677,153	$	676,661
Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility	88,915		107,479
Senior Revolver	—		20,000
Long-term debt	$	766,068	$	804,140

8.25% Senior Secured Notes

In August 2018, the Company issued 8.25% Senior Secured Notes which mature on September 1, 2025 ("8.25% Senior Secured Notes"). Interest on the notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1. In connection with the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes, the balance of capitalized financing costs of approximately $12.8 million, net of amortization, is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of "Long-term debt." These costs are amortized over the term of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes as a component of interest expense.

The proceeds of this issuance were used (i) to redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Secured Notes of CFTC, (ii) to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the five-year revolving credit facility of CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary ("CURO Receivables"), which consisted 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 therewith.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes.

12.00% Senior Secured Notes

In February and November 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, of 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2022. In connection with these 12.00% Senior Secured Notes, the Company capitalized financing costs, of approximately $18.3 million. These costs were being amortized over the term of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes as a component of interest expense.

On March 7, 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of its 12.00% Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering as required by the underlying indenture (the transaction whereby the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were partially redeemed, the “Redemption”), at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest paid thereon, to the date of Redemption. The Redemption price and the amortization of a corresponding portion of the capitalized financing costs resulted in a loss on Redemption of $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Following the Redemption, $527.5 million of the original outstanding principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes remained outstanding. The Redemption was conducted pursuant to the Indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent.

The remainder of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were extinguished effective September 7, 2018 using proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes as described above. The extinguishment of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes resulted in a pretax loss of $69.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility

On August 2, 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the "Canada SPV Borrower") and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provides for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million ("Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility"). The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75% plus the three-month CDOR. The Canada SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In April 2019, the facility's maturity date was extended one year and now matures in 2023. As of March 31, 2019, the Canada SPV Borrower was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility.

As of March 31, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility were $88.9 million. For further information on the Non-Recourse Canada SPV, refer to Note 2, "Variable Interest Entities."

Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility

In November 2016, CURO Receivables and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Victory Park Management, LLC and certain other lenders that provides for an $80.0 million term loan and $70.0 million revolving borrowing capacity that can expand over time (collectively, “Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility”). Borrowings under this facility bear interest at an annual rate of up to 12.00% plus the greater of (i) 1.0% per annum and (ii) the three-month LIBOR. The SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In connection with this facility, the balance of capitalized financing costs of approximately $5.3 million, net of amortization, was included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of "Long-term debt" and was being amortized over the term of the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility.

On September 30, 2018, a portion of the proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes were used to extinguish the revolver's balance of $42.4 million. In October 2018, the Company extinguished the remaining term loan balance of $80.0 million and made the final termination payment of $2.7 million, resulting in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Senior Revolver

On September 1, 2017, the Company entered into a $25.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Loan Facility (the “Senior Revolver”). The terms of the Senior Revolver generally conform to the related provisions in the Indenture dated February 15, 2017 for the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and complements the Company's other financing sources, while providing seasonal short-term liquidity. In February 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $29.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes based upon consolidated tangible assets. Additionally, in November 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $50.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver is now syndicated with participation by four banks.

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 plus 5.00% (subject to a 5% overall rate minimum) and is repayable on demand.

The terms of the Senior Revolver require that its outstanding balance be zero for at least 30 consecutive days in each calendar year. The Senior Revolver is guaranteed by all subsidiaries that guarantee the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and is secured by a lien on substantially all assets of CURO and the guarantor subsidiaries that is senior to the lien securing the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The revolver was undrawn at March 31, 2019.

The Senior Revolver contains various conditions to borrowing and affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants are (i) minimum eligible collateral value, (ii) consolidated interest coverage ratio and (iii) consolidated leverage ratio. The Senior Revolver also contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in termination of the lenders’ commitments to lend and the acceleration of all obligations under the Senior Revolver. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Senior Revolver.

Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility

Cash Money Cheque Cashing, Inc., a Canadian subsidiary ("Cash Money"), maintains a C$10.0 million revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada (the "Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility"), which provides short-term liquidity required to meet the working capital needs of the Company's Canadian operations. Aggregate draws under the revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of: (i) the borrowing base, which is defined as a percentage of cash, deposits in transit and accounts receivable, and (ii) C$10.0 million. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing capacity under the Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by C$0.3 million in stand-by-letters of credit.

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

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Subordinated Stockholder Debt

As part of the acquisition of Cash Money in 2011, the Company was provided indemnification for certain claims through issuance of an escrow note to the seller. This note bears interest at 10.0% per annum, and quarterly interest payments are due until the note matures in May 2019. The balance of this note at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $2.2 million.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company's stockholder-approved 2017 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5.0 million shares, subject to certain adjustment provisions, which may be issued in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other awards that may be settled in or based upon common stock. Awards may be granted to officers, employees, consultants and directors. The 2017 Incentive Plan provides that shares of common stock subject to awards granted become available for re-issuance if such awards expire, terminate, are canceled for any reason or are forfeited by the recipient.

In March 2019, the Company awarded performance-based RSUs that will vest if certain performance conditions are met by the Company. These RSUs were designed to drive the performance of the management team toward achievement of key corporate objectives and will only vest if the performance targets are met by March 14, 2022. Expense recognition for the performance awards, which was immaterial to the first quarter of 2019, commences if and when it is determined that attainment of the performance goal is probable.

RSUs that have time-based vesting are typically valued at the date of grant based on the value of the Company's common stock and are expensed using the straight-line method over the service period. RSUs that require the achievement of a performance condition to vest are typically valued using the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. Grants of RSUs do not confer full stockholder rights such as voting rights and cash dividends, but provide for additional dividend equivalent RSU awards in lieu of cash dividends. Unvested shares of RSUs may be forfeited upon termination of employment depending on the circumstances of the termination, or failure to achieve the required performance condition, if applicable.

A summary of the status of time-based and performance-based RSUs as of March 31, 2019 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2019 are presented in the following table:

	Number of RSUs
	Time-Based		Performance-Based	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
December 31, 2018	1,060,350		—	$	14.29
Granted	434,272		394,752	9.93
Vested	(17,406	)	—	15.94
Forfeited	(68,778	)	—	14.05
March 31, 2019	1,408,438		394,752	$	12.28

Share-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, which includes compensation costs from stock options and RSUs was $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of "Corporate, district and other" expense.

As of March 31, 2019, there was $20.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs, of which $17.1 million related to stock options and time-based RSUs and $3.3 million related to performance-based RSUs. Total unrecognized compensation costs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 25.9% and 31.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act became law, which reduced the statutory U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, enacted a one-time “deemed repatriation” tax on unremitted earnings accumulated in non-U.S. jurisdictions and imposed a new minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"). The Company provided an estimate of the deemed repatriation tax as of December 31, 2017 and pursuant to further IRS guidance, the Company recorded an additional accrual of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company recorded an estimated GILTI tax of $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company intends to reinvest Canada earnings indefinitely in its Canadian operations and therefore has not provided for any non-U.S. withholding tax that would be assessed on dividend distributions. If the earnings of $165.8 million were distributed to the U.S., the Company would be subject to Canadian withholding taxes of estimated $8.3 million. In the event the earnings were distributed to the U.S., the Company would adjust the income tax provision for the applicable period and would determine the amount of foreign tax credit that would be available.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. 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.

Senior Revolver	20,000		—		—		20,000		20,000

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

In connection with CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for loans that the Company arranges for consumers on the third-party lenders’ behalf. The Company is required to purchase from the lender defaulted loans that it has guaranteed.

The fair value of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes was based on broker quotations. The fair values of the Non-Recourse Canada SPV facility and the Senior Revolver were based on the cash needed for their respective final settlements.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In connection with the Company's initial public offering in December 2017, the underwriters had a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount for over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised this option and purchased 1.0 million shares on January 5, 2018. The exercise of this option provided additional proceeds of $13.1 million.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Net income from continuing operations	$	28,673	$	24,913
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	8,375		(1,621		)
Net income	$	37,048	$	23,292
Weighted average common shares - basic	46,424		45,506
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units	895		1,910
Weighted average common shares - diluted	47,319		47,416
Basic income (loss) per share:
Continuing operations	$	0.62	$	0.55
Discontinued operations	0.18		(0.04		)
Basic income per share	$	0.80	$	0.51
Diluted income (loss) per share:
Continuing operations	$	0.61	$	0.53
Discontinued operations	0.18		(0.03		)
Diluted income per share	$	0.79	$	0.50

Potential shares of common stock that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share or decreasing diluted loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating "Diluted earnings per share." For the three months ended March 31,2019, there were 1.4 million 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 months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company utilizes the "control number" concept in the computation of Diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews financial information for operational decision making purposes. During the first quarter of 2019, the U.K. subsidiaries met discontinued operations criteria, resulting in two reportable operating segments: the U.S. and Canada.

Management’s evaluation of performance utilizes gross margin and operating profit before the allocation of interest expense and professional services. The following reporting segment results reflect this basis for evaluation and were determined in accordance with the same accounting principles used in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table illustrates summarized financial information concerning reportable segments.

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total gross loans receivable	$	553,215	$	571,531

The following table provides net long-lived assets, comprised of property and equipment, by segment. These amounts are aggregated on a legal entity basis and do not necessarily reflect where the asset is physically located:

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Securities Litigation

On December 5, 2018, a putative securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, captioned Yellowdog Partners, LP v. CURO Group Holdings Corp., Donald F. Gayhardt, William Baker and Roger W. Dean, Civil Action No. 18-2662. The complaint alleges that the Company and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and that the individual defendants also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as “control persons” of CURO. Plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on behalf of a class of investors who purchased Company common stock between July 31, 2018 and October 24, 2018.

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

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

Related to this securities litigation matter, the Company has also received an inquiry from the SEC regarding the Company's public disclosures surrounding its efforts to transition the Canadian inventory of products from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans.

City of Austin

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

Other Legal Matters

The Company is a defendant in certain litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, based upon the advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the impact of any of these pending litigation matters, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

The Company entered into operating leases for the buildings in which it operates that expire at various times through 2040. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The majority of the leases have an original term of five years with two, five-year renewal options. 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 several also require payment of certain period costs, including maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company had operating lease costs of approximately $8.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2019. Some of the leases are with related parties and have terms similar to the non-related party leases previously described. Operating lease costs on unrelated third-party leases was $7.6 million and for related party leases was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the liabilities and the operating cash flows was $8.6 million.

The following table summarizes the future minimum lease payments that the Company is contractually obligated to make under operating leases as of March 31, 2019:

(in thousands)	Third-Party			Related-Party			Total
2019	$	23,222		$	2,764		$	25,986

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.1 years, and the weighted average operating discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 10.3%.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

The following table presents financial results of the U.K. Subsidiaries, which meet the criteria of Discontinued Operations and, therefore, are excluded from the Company's results of continuing operations:

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

In November 2017, CFTC issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 12.00% Senior Secured Notes in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the "Additional Notes Offering"). CFTC used the proceeds from the Additional Notes Offering, together with available cash, to (i) pay a cash dividend, in an amount of $140.0 million to the Company, CFTC’s sole stockholder, and ultimately the Company's stockholders and (ii) pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the Additional Notes Offering. CFTC received the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the current Senior Secured Notes to a one-time waiver with respect to the restrictions contained in Section 5.07(a) of the indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes to permit the dividend.

In February 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million aggregate principal amount 12.00% Senior Secured Notes, the proceeds of which were used together with available cash, to (i) redeem the outstanding 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 of CURO Intermediate, (ii) redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2017 and (iii) pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the offering. CFTC sold the Senior Secured Notes to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.

The following condensed consolidating financing information, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i) CURO as the issuer of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes;

(ii) The Company's subsidiary guarantors, which are comprised of its domestic subsidiaries, including CFTC as the issuer of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes that were redeemed in August 2018, CURO Intermediate, and U.S. SPV as the issuer of the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility that was extinguished in October 2018, and excluding Canada SPV (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), on a consolidated basis, which are 100% owned by CURO, and which are guarantors of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes issued in August 2018;

(iii) The Company's other subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, which are not guarantors of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes (the “Subsidiary Non-Guarantors”)

(iv) Consolidating and eliminating entries representing adjustments to:

a. eliminate intercompany transactions between or among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors; and

b. eliminate the investments in subsidiaries;

(v) The Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share Repurchase Program

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 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.

Cognical Investment

In April 2019, as part of a broader capital structure reorganization, the Company made an additional $2.8 million cash investment in Cognical Holdings, which operates under the Zibby brand. This funding round is expected to remain open through June 11, 2019. As a result of its investments in Cognical as well as Cognical’s overall reorganization, the Company expects to own a 30% to 35% interest in its outstanding shares, dependent upon total new capital contributed by other investors. When the funding round is completed, the Company expects to have financial information to determine the fair market value of its investments in Cognical Holdings.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The terms “CURO" 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 wholly-owned subsidiary, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

The Company has 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 its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. On February 25, 2019, the Company's U.K. segment was placed into administration, which resulted in treatment of the segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), current and prior period financial information is presented as if the U.K. segment was excluded from continuing operations. For further information about the placement of the segment into administration, refer to "--Nature of Operations" below.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the 2018 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, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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 the Company 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") liability for losses and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019, would not be implemented. In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries, Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively, “the U.K. Subsidiaries”), insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration 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.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established 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.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right of use assets ("ROU assets") and additional operating lease liabilities ("lease liabilities") of $135.4 million and $143.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019. Prepaid rent of $2.7 million and deferred liability of $10.9 million were included in ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings. See Note 14 - "Leases" for additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842.

ASU 2018-12

In February 2018, the 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"), which permits the reclassification to retained earnings of disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act"). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEC Disclosure Update

In the third quarter of 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("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. Other than the amendment's expanded disclosure requirement for interim financial statements to disclose both current and comparative quarter and year-to-date reconciliations of changes in stockholders' equity, it did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2019, nor is it expected to have a material impact on the Company's annual disclosures or financial statements.

Variable Interest Entity

As the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company includes the assets and liabilities related to the VIEs in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As required, the Company parenthetically discloses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the VIEs’ assets that can only be used to settle the VIEs' obligations and liabilities if the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse against the Company's general credit.

The carrying amount

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. 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.
