1 Gross profit is the sum of lease revenues and fees, retail sales, non-retail sales, and interest and fees on loans receivable less retail cost of sales, non-retail cost of sales, depreciation of lease merchandise, bad debt expense, provision for write-offs of lease merchandise, provision for credit losses and certain other costs that are directly attributable to the derived revenue.
2 In accordance with the adoption of ASC 842, Progressive Leasing provision for returns and uncollectible renewal payments are recorded as a reduction to lease revenues and fees within the consolidated financial statements beginning January 1, 2019. Prior to January 1, 2019, Progressive Leasing provision for returns and uncollectible renewal payments were recorded as bad debt expense within operating expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Progressive Leasing bad debt expense included in the 2018 quarterly gross profits were $46.5 million, $50.0 million, $64.2 million and $67.0 million for the first, second, third and fourth quarter of 2018, respectively.
3 Quarterly gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been adjusted to include Progressive Leasing bad debt expense and certain other costs that are directly attributable to the derived revenue.
The comparability of the Company’s quarterly financial results during 2019 and 2018 was impacted by certain events, as described below on a pre-tax basis:
•
The second quarter of 2018 included the full impairment of the PerfectHome investment of $20.1 million.
•
The first, second, third and fourth quarter of 2019 included net restructuring charges (reversals) of $13.3 million, $18.7 million, $5.5 million, and $2.5 million, respectively. The first, second, third and fourth quarter of 2018 included net restructuring charges (reversals) of $0.9 million, $(0.9) million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The restructuring activity in both years relates primarily to store contractual lease obligations, severance costs and impairment charges in connection with the Company's strategic decision to close Company-operated stores. Restructuring activity during 2019 also included impairment charges for the planned exit from one of our support buildings along with a loss on the sale of six Canadian stores to a third party as discussed in Note 11 to these consolidated financial statements.
•
The third quarter of 2019 includes gains on insurance recoveries of $4.5 million related to payments received from and final settlements reached with insurance carriers for Hurricanes Harvey and Irma property and business interruption claims in excess of related property insurance receivables. Such gains were classified within other operating income in the consolidated statements of earnings.
•
The fourth quarter of 2019 included gains of $7.4 million from the sale of various real estate properties which were classified within other operating income in the consolidated statements of earnings.
•
The fourth quarter of 2019 included $179.3 million in regulatory charges and legal expenses incurred related to Progressive Leasing's tentative settlement of the FTC matter.
