Credit Loss [Abstract]

EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

NOTE 3: EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective October 1, 2020. We have financing receivables within the scope of ASU 2016-13, specifically pawn loans receivables and related pawn service charges receivables.

Our pawn loans are short-term in nature, typically 30-120 days for U.S. Pawn loans and 30 days for Latin America Pawn loans. Under our existing accounting policy, if a pawn loan is deemed to be uncollectible, we do not recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts due to the expected recovery of the loan principal amount through the sale of the collateral. We record the forfeited collateral as inventory at the pawn loan principal amount.

Pawn service charges are recorded under the interest method over the term of the related pawn loan. Under our existing accounting policy, we accrue for any earned but unpaid pawn service charges at the end each month. We then apply a reserve to pawn service charges receivable at the end of each month using a pawn loan forfeiture rate derived from a trailing twelve-month average, adjusted for seasonality factors.

We have evaluated, on a collective basis, our pawn loan receivables and pawn service charges receivables and determined the new credit loss standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as our current polices appropriately capture lifetime expected credit losses.

The presentation of pawn loan and pawn service charge receivable as separate line items on our consolidated balance sheet will remain unchanged under the new credit loss standard.

As of June 30, 2021, pawn loan and related pawn service charges receivable, net were $157.2 million and $25.0 million, respectively.
