Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]


1. Business and Basis of Presentation

OneMain Holdings, Inc. (“OMH”), and its wholly-owned direct subsidiary, OneMain Finance Corporation (“OMFC”) (formerly known as Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”)) are financial services holding companies whose subsidiaries engage in the consumer finance and insurance businesses. Prior to the completion of the merger described below, OMH’s direct subsidiary was Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”).

Effective July 1, 2020, SFC was renamed to OMFC. The name change did not affect OMFC’s legal entity structure, nor did it have an impact on OMH’s or OMFC’s financial statements. OMFC is used in this report to include references to transactions and arrangements occurring prior to the name change.

On September 20, 2019, OMFC entered into a merger agreement with its direct parent, SFI, to merge SFI with and into OMFC, with OMFC as the surviving entity. The merger was effective in OMFC's condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 1, 2019. As a result of the merger with SFI, OMFC became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of OMH.

OMH and OMFC are referred to in this report, collectively with their subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is equally applicable to OMH and OMFC, except where otherwise indicated.

At September 30, 2020, the Apollo-Värde Group owned approximately 40.9% of OMH’s common stock.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The statements include the accounts of OMH, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest and for which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary as of the financial statement date.

We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Actual results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. To conform to the 2020 presentation, we have reclassified certain items in prior periods of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting, except for the new accounting pronouncements subsequently adopted and disclosed in Note 3 below.
