Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On September 7, 2011, Cash America International, Inc. (“Cash America,” now known as FirstCash, Inc. due to its merger with First Cash Financial Services, Inc. on September 1, 2016), formed a new company, Enova International, Inc. (the “Company”). On September 13, 2011, Cash America contributed to the Company all of the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enova Online Services, Inc., in exchange for 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company became an independent, publicly traded company on November 13, 2014 when Cash America completed the tax-free spin-off of approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company to holders of Cash America’s common stock (the “Spin-off”). Cash America (and then First Cash) retained approximately 20% of the Company’s stock but completed the sale of its entire holding in the Company as of December 6, 2016. The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired.
The Company operates an internet-based lending platform to serve customers in need of cash to fulfill their financial responsibilities. Through a network of direct and indirect marketing channels, the Company offers funds to its customers through a variety of unsecured loan and finance receivable products. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. The Company originates, arranges, guarantees or purchases consumer loans and provides financing to small businesses through a line of credit account, installment loan or receivables purchase agreement product (“RPAs”). Consumer loans include short-term loans, line of credit accounts and installment loans. RPAs represent a right to receive future receivables from a small business. “Loans and finance receivables” include consumer loans, small business lines of credit, small business installment loans and RPAs.
The Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) where it has been determined it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The financial statements presented as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for three and six-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and related notes, which are included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017.
Restricted Cash
The Company includes funds to be used for future debt payments relating to its securitization transactions and escrow deposits in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on the financing products and services it offers and on loans it acquires. “Revenue” in the consolidated statements of income includes: interest income, finance charges, fees for services provided through the Company’s credit services organization and credit access business programs (“CSO programs”) (“CSO fees”), revenue on RPAs, service charges, draw fees, minimum billing fees, purchase fees, late fees and non-sufficient funds fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. For short-term loans that the Company offers, interest and finance charges are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For line of credit accounts, interest is recognized over the reporting period based upon the balance outstanding and the contractual interest rate, draw fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the estimated outstanding period of the draw, and minimum billing fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. For installment loans, interest is recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For RPAs, revenue and purchase fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the projected delivery term of the agreements and fees are recognized when assessed. CSO fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. Late and nonsufficient funds fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. Direct costs associated with originating loans and purchasing RPAs, such as third-party customer acquisition costs, are deferred and amortized against revenue on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan or the projected delivery term of the finance receivable. Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans, RPAs, unpaid and accrued interest, fees and revenue and deferred origination costs are included in “Loans and finance receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 350, Goodwill, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of June 30 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In assessing the qualitative factors, management considers relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environment, overall financial performance of the Company, cash flow from operating activities, market capitalization and stock price. If the Company determines that the two-step quantitative impairment test is required, management uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for the Company that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint. The Company completed its annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2017 based on qualitative factors and determined that the fair value of its goodwill exceeded carrying value, and, as a result, no impairment existed at that date. Although no goodwill impairment was noted, there can be no assurances that future goodwill impairments will not occur.
Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”) clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”) to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). Therefore, for public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an asset or group of assets acquired is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that
7
need to be further evaluated. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which requires entities to recognize the income tax impact of an intra-entity sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory when the sale or transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, Statement of Cash Flows, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company's current disclosures and classifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”). The amendments in ASU 2016‑13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016‑13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016‑13, which at the date of adoption will increase the allowance for credit losses with a resulting negative adjustment to retained earnings.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities upon issuance. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company expects to report higher assets and liabilities as a result of including additional leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income or the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016‑01”), which requires that equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-
8
08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), to clarify revenue recognition accounting when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. Early adoption of ASU 2016‑10 is permitted only as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to reduce the risk of diversity in practice for certain aspects in ASU 2014-09, including collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 606 on assessing certain aspects of the new revenue standard. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions
On June 23, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of a company operating as The Business Backer, LLC, which purchases discounted future accounts receivables from small businesses in the United States through RPAs, which provide working capital for small businesses. The total consideration of $26.4 million was comprised of $17.7 million in cash at closing, a $3.0 million promissory note (included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets) and estimated contingent consideration of $5.7 million based on future earn-out opportunities. The contingent purchase consideration was recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition based upon the Company’s assessment of the probable earnings attributable to the business as defined in the purchase agreement. To the extent operating results exceed the Company’s estimate, additional contingent consideration would be due, however the total consideration paid may not exceed $71 million. The contingent purchase consideration is revalued each reporting period with changes in fair value of the contingent consideration obligations recognized as a gain or loss on fair value remeasurement in our consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration was remeasured as of December 31, 2016 and a gain from the fair value remeasurement of $3.3 million was recognized. There was no change in fair value measurement of contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
This purchase was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the purchased assets, which were not material, have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. Short-term loans are considered delinquent when payment of an amount due is not made as of the due date. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer misses one payment, that payment is considered delinquent and the balance of the loan is considered current. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer does not make two consecutive payments, the entire account or loan is classified as delinquent and placed on a non-accrual status. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.
The Company does not accrue interest on delinquent loans and does not resume accrual of interest on a delinquent loan unless it is returned to current status. In addition, delinquent loans generally may not be renewed, and if, during its attempt to collect on a delinquent loan, the Company allows additional time for payment through a payment plan or a promise to pay, it is still considered
9
delinquent. Generally, all payments received are first applied against accrued but unpaid interest and fees and then against the principal balance of the loan.
Allowance and Liability for Estimated Losses on Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company monitors the performance of its loan and finance receivable portfolios and maintains either an allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables (including revenue, fees and/or interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for losses on the Company’s owned loans and finance receivables reduces the outstanding loans and finance receivables balance in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for estimated losses related to loans guaranteed under its CSO programs is initially recorded at fair value and is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.
In determining the allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables, the Company applies a documented systematic methodology. In calculating the allowance or liability for receivable losses, outstanding loans and finance receivables are divided into discrete groups of short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs and are analyzed as current or delinquent. Increases in either the allowance or the liability, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as a “Cost of revenue” in the consolidated statements of income.
The allowance or liability for short-term loans classified as current is based on historical loss rates adjusted for recent default trends for current loans. For delinquent short-term loans, the allowance or liability is based on a six-month rolling average of loss rates by stage of collection. For line of credit account, installment loan and RPA portfolios, the Company generally uses either a migration analysis or roll-rate based methodology to estimate losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance or liability calculation under the migration analysis and roll-rate methodology is based on historical charge-off experience and the loss emergence period, which represents the average amount of time between the first occurrence of a loss event and the charge-off of a loan or RPA. The factors the Company considers to assess the adequacy of the allowance or liability include past due performance, historical behavior of monthly vintages, underwriting changes and recent trends in delinquency in the migration analysis. The roll-rate methodology is based on delinquency status, payment history and recency factors to estimate future charge-offs.
The Company fully reserves for loans and finance receivables once the receivable or a portion of the receivable has been classified as delinquent for 60 consecutive days and generally charges off loans and finance receivables between 60 – 65 days delinquent. If a loan or finance receivable is deemed uncollectible before it is fully reserved, it is charged off at that point. Loans and finance receivables classified as delinquent generally have an age of one to 64 days from the date any portion of the receivable became delinquent, as defined above. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.

Guarantees of Consumer Loans
In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for short-term and installment loans and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans that go into default. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, the amount of
12
consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $28.0 million, $31.2 million and $32.2 million, respectively, representing amounts due under consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company of $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Bank Program Loans
In order to leverage its online lending platform, the Company launched a program with a bank in 2016 to provide technology, marketing services, and loan servicing for near-prime unsecured consumer installment loans. Under the program, the Company receives marketing and servicing fees while the bank receives an origination fee. The bank has the ability to sell the loans it originates to the Company. The Company does not guarantee the performance of the loans originated by the bank.

Investment in Unconsolidated Investee
The Company records an investment in the preferred stock of a privately-held developing financial services entity under the cost method. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in this unconsolidated investee was $6.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, and was held in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates this investment for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the investment below carrying value. Based on the Company’s evaluation of this investment at June 30, 2017, the Company determined that an impairment loss was not probable at that date.

Consumer Loan Securitization
2016-1 Facility
On January 15, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (as amended, the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary (the “Indenture Trustee”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under the Company’s NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to EFR 2016-1, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”), and serviced by another subsidiary.
The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month; the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was amended to increase the availability to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, as discussed below. As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was limited to $175 million; the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was amended to increase the maximum principal amount to $275 million, as discussed below.
At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes have been and will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes have been and will be issued to the holders of the
Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the latest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility has been amended to extend the revolving period to October 2017 and the latest maturity to October 2021, as discussed below.
The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate was initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on outstanding Securitization Notes are made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date. The Securitization Notes are supported by the cash flows from the underlying Receivables. The holders of the Securitization Notes have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying Receivables are not sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the Securitization Notes unless the underlying Receivables breach the representations and warranties made by us as of the related sale date as described below. Additionally, the Receivables will be held by the Issuer at least until the obligations under the Securitization Notes are satisfied. For so long as the Receivables are owned by the Issuer, the outstanding Receivables will not be available to satisfy the Company’s other debts and obligations.
All amounts due under the Securitization Notes are secured by all of the Issuer’s assets, which include the Receivables transferred to the Issuer, related rights under the Receivables, specified bank accounts, and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-1 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay their loans; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters and other subjects; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the Securitization Notes under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, servicer defaults, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables, defaults under other material indebtedness and certain regulatory matters.
The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between the Company and Enova Finance 5, LLC. On July 26, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes included revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the Variable Funding Notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of the Receivables that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.
On August 17, 2016, the Company and one of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for Receivables that the Company sells under the Agreement.
On September 12, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized the Company to include in the 2016-1 Facility Receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of the Company from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.
On October 20, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Third Amendment increased the maximum principal amount of the 2016-1 Facility to $275 million, increased the Variable Funding Notes maximum principal amount to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, and extended the revolving period of the facility to October 2017. The Third Amendment also adjusted the Note Interest Rate on Term Notes issued after, and amounts outstanding under the Variable Funding Notes after, the date of the Third Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). The weighted average interest rate on such adjusted Notes is 9.5%.
14
On November 14, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fourth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture), with an effective date of October 31, 2016.
On December 14, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fifth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for the Initial Term Notes, with an effective date of November 30, 2016, expanded the categories of Receivables that could be financed through the 2016-1 Facility and made certain other minor changes. These changes provide the Company with additional flexibility under the 2016-1 Facility.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amount of the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was $138.8 million and $103.9 million, respectively, which included unamortized issuance costs of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of four years. The total interest expense recognized was $7.5 million and $6.2 million of which $0.8 million and $1.8 million represented the non-cash amortization of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
2016-2 Facility
On December 1, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-2 Facility”) with Redpoint Capital Asset Funding, LLC, as lender (the “Lender”). The 2016-2 Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Redpoint Receivables”) that have been and will be originated or acquired under the Company’s NetCredit brand by several of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Originators”) and that meet specified eligibility criteria, including that the annual percentage rate for each securitized consumer loan is greater than or equal to 90%. Under the 2016-2 Facility, Redpoint Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company (the “Debtor”) and serviced by another subsidiary of the Company.
The Debtor has issued a revolving note with an initial maximum principal balance of $20.0 million (the “Initial Facility Size”), which is required to be secured by $25.0 million in unsecured consumer loans. The Initial Facility Size may be increased under the 2016-2 Facility to $40 million. The 2016-2 Facility is non-recourse to the Company and matures on December 1, 2019.
The 2016-2 Facility is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016, between the Lender and the Debtor. The 2016-2 Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (subject to a floor) plus an applicable margin, which rate per annum was initially 12.50%. In addition, the Debtor paid certain customary upfront closing fees to the Lender. Interest payments on the 2016-2 Facility will be made monthly. Subject to certain exceptions, the Debtor is not permitted to prepay the 2016-2 Facility prior to October 1, 2018. Following such date, the Debtor is permitted to voluntarily prepay the 2016-2 Facility without penalty. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than December 1, 2019.
All amounts due under the 2016-2 Facility are secured by all of the Debtor’s assets, which include the Redpoint Receivables transferred to the Debtor, related rights under the Redpoint Receivables, a bank account and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-2 Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Redpoint Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay the related Receivables; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the 2016-2 Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables and defaults under other material indebtedness of the Debtor.
As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the 2016-2 Facility was $12.1 million. In connection with the issuance of the 2016-2 Facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. The unamortized balance of these costs as of June 30, 2017 is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of 36 months, the term of the 2016-2 Facility. The total interest expense recognized was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On May 14, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a credit agreement among the Company, the guarantors, Jefferies Finance LLC as administrative agent and Jefferies Group LLC as lender (the “2014 Credit Agreement”). The 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated on June 30, 2017. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
15
The 2014 Credit Agreement also included a sub-limit of up to $20.0 million for standby or commercial letters of credit. In the event that an amount was paid by the issuing bank under a letter of credit, it would have been due and payable by the Company on demand. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the 2014 Credit Agreement of $6.6 million as of each of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
In connection with the issuance of the 2014 Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.6 million, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees and legal expenses. The unamortized balance of these costs was included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs were amortized to interest expense over a period of 37 months, the term of the 2014 Credit Agreement.
On June 30, 2017, the Company and certain of its operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-backed secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks including TBK Bank, SSB (“TBK”), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Jefferies Finance LLC and TBK as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Lead Bookrunners, and Green Bank, N.A., as Lender (the “2017 Credit Agreement”).
The 2017 Credit Agreement is secured by domestic receivables and replaced the 2014 Credit Agreement. The borrowing limit in the 2017 Credit Agreement increased to $40 million from $35 million in the 2014 Credit Agreement, and its maturity date is May 1, 2020. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2017.
The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit line with interest on borrowings under the facility at prime rate plus 1.00%. In addition, the 2017 Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the line, and ranges from 0.30% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. A portion of the revolving credit facility, up to a maximum of $20 million, is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the 2017 Credit Agreement of $6.0 million as of June 30, 2017. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before its first and second anniversary date, subject to certain exceptions.
The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, the attachment of liens to the Company’s property, the amount of dividends and other distributions, fundamental changes to the Company or its business and certain other activities of the Company. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains standard financial covenants for a facility of this type based on a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements, and certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.
In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.8 million, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees and legal expenses. The unamortized balance of these costs as of June 30, 2017 is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of 34 months, the term of the 2017 Credit Agreement.
$500.0 Million 9.75% Senior Unsecured Notes
On May 30, 2014, the Company issued and sold $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.75% annually on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2014. The Senior Notes were sold at a discount of the principal amount to yield 10.0% to maturity and will mature on June 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amount of the Senior Notes was $487.8 million and $484.9 million, respectively, which included an unamortized discount of $4.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and unamortized issuance costs of $8.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of seven years, through the maturity date of June 1, 2021. The total interest expense recognized was $25.8 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, of which $0.4 million represented the non-cash amortization of the discount and $1.0 million represented the non-cash amortization of the issuance costs for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Weighted-average interest rates on long-term debt were 10.72% and 10.92% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the prevailing long-term debt agreement(s).

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On March 8, 2013, Flemming Kristensen, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Nevada against the Company and other unaffiliated lenders and lead providers. The lawsuit alleges that the lead provider defendants sent unauthorized text messages to consumers on behalf of the Company and the other lender defendants in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks class certification, statutory damages, an injunction against “wireless spam activities,” and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed an answer to the complaint denying all liability. On March 26, 2014, the Court granted class certification. On July 20, 2015, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, denied Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and, on July 21, 2015, entered judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, which was denied. On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the order granting summary judgment for the Company, the judgment in favor of the company, and the order denying Plaintiff’s motion to reconsider. Appellate briefing is now complete. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable appellate decision nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this matter can be determined at this time, and the Company is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, as defined by ASC 450-20-20, Contingencies–Loss Contingencies–Glossary, for this litigation. The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
The Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance or by indemnification agreements with third parties. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Headquarters Relocation
During 2014 the Company accelerated the lease expiration date for approximately 86,000 rentable square feet at its prior headquarters office space effective June 30, 2015. The Company relocated to its current headquarters in 2015 and recognized an expense of $3.7 million which was included as “General and administrative expense” and consisted of a lease exit liability of $2.9 million for the remaining lease payments, net of estimated sublease income of $1.7 million, and $0.8 million for the removal of property and restoration costs related to the prior headquarters lease. The Company did not incur further material costs related to the relocation.

Derivative Instruments
The Company has periodically used derivative instruments to manage risk from changes in market conditions that may affect the Company’s financial performance. The Company has primarily used derivative instruments to manage its primary market risks, which are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
19
The Company has periodically used forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the effects of foreign currency risk in the United Kingdom. The forward currency exchange contracts are non-designated derivatives. Any gain or loss resulting from these contracts is recorded as income or loss and is included in “Foreign currency transaction gain” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not manage its exposure to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of forward currency exchange contracts in the United Kingdom or Brazil.
The Company had no outstanding derivative instruments as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016.
There were no effects of derivative instruments on the consolidated results of operations and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Related Party Transactions
A current officer of the Company has an ongoing ownership interest in the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities in June 2015 (see Note 2 for additional information). In the normal course of business, the Company attains certain customer relationships from the small business by entering into transactions with the customers to provide additional RPA financing. In these transactions, the Company satisfies the customer’s existing RPA balance with the small business which terminates such customer’s responsibilities to the small business. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company did not attain any relationships through these transactions with the small business. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid $0.3 million to the small business to satisfy customers’ existing RPA balances. Pursuant to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company issued a promissory note to the small business in the amount of $3.0 million (the “Promissory Note”) and granted the company an opportunity to earn certain contingent purchase consideration (see Note 2 for additional information), both of which are guaranteed by the Company. The Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and will mature on June 23, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred interest expense of $63 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively, related to the Promissory Note. In addition, as a condition precedent to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company executed a Transition Services Agreement with the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets whereby it agreed to provide certain transition services to the business for three years following the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company was paid $14 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively, for such services.
The Company and Cash America entered into an agreement in conjunction with the Spin-off for the Company to administer the consumer loan underwriting model utilized by Cash America’s Retail Services Division in exchange for a fee per transaction paid to the Company as well as the reimbursement of the Company’s direct third-party costs incurred in providing the service. The Company received $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, pursuant to this agreement.
Since May 30, 2014, amounts due from or due to Cash America or FirstCash have been settled a month in arrears. The balance due from Cash America of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and from FirstCash of $46 thousand as of June 30, 2017 and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016 is included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.
11.
Variable Interest Entities
As part of the Company’s overall funding strategy and as part of its efforts to support its liquidity from sources other than its traditional capital market sources, the Company has established a securitization program through the 2016-1 and 2016-2 Securitization
20
Facilities. The Company transferred certain consumer loan receivables to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiaries (VIEs), which issue term notes backed by the underlying consumer loan receivables and are serviced by another wholly owned subsidiary.
The Company is required to evaluate the VIEs for consolidation. The Company has the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as the servicer of the securitized loan receivables. Additionally, the Company has the right to receive residual payments, which expose it to potentially significant losses and returns. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and is required to consolidate them.
The assets and liabilities related to the VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.
The Company parenthetically discloses on its consolidated balance sheets the VIE’s assets that can only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and the VIE liabilities if the VIE’s creditors have no recourse against the Company’s general credit. The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s securitization entities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. It is the Company’s policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.
21
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The non-qualified savings plan assets are included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and have an offsetting liability of equal amount, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company determined the fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreement and utilizes assumptions with regard to future earnings, probabilities of achieving such future earnings, the timing of expected payments and a discount rate. Significant increases with respect to assumptions as to future earnings and probabilities of achieving such future earnings would result in a higher fair value measurement while an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in the fair value hierarchy.
The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is a Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are summarized in the tables below for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities such as property and equipment and intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. At June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, there were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

See Note 4 for additional information related to the investment in unconsolidated investee.

Installment loan and RPAs, net include $223.4 million, $142.3 million and $216.8 million in net assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
(5)
Restricted cash includes $19.1 million, $13.9 million and $19.5 million in assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash bear interest at market rates and have original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs are carried in the consolidated balance sheet net of the allowance for estimated losses, which is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross receivable balance. Short-term loans and line of credit accounts have relatively short maturity periods that are generally 12 months or less. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these receivables include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan term; therefore, the carrying value approximates the fair value. The fair value of installment loans and RPAs is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, which consider interest rates on loans and discounts offered for receivables with similar terms to customers with similar credit quality, the timing of expected payments, estimated customer default rates and/or valuations of comparable portfolios. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s installment loans and RPAs was greater than the carrying value of these loans and finance receivables. Unsecured installment loans typically have terms between two and 60 months. RPAs typically have estimated delivery terms between six and 18 months.
The Company measures the fair value of its investment in unconsolidated investee using Level 3 inputs. Because the unconsolidated investee is a private company and financial information is limited, the Company estimates the fair value based on the best available information at the measurement date. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016 the Company estimated the fair value of its investment to be approximately equal to the book value.
In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for short-term and installment loans the Company arranges for consumers on the third-party lenders’ behalf and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its liability for third-party lender-owned consumer loans under Level 3 inputs. The fair value of these liabilities is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these loans include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan terms; therefore, the carrying value of these liabilities approximates the fair value.
24
The Company measures the fair value of the Promissory Note using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Promissory Note is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, the Promissory Note had a higher fair value than the carrying value.
The Company measures the fair value of its Securitization Notes using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Securitization Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s Securitization Notes had a higher fair value than the carrying value. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s Securitization Notes approximated the carrying value.
The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s Senior Notes had a higher fair value than the carrying value. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was lower than the carrying value.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
The Company’s Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and are not secured by its other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned, all guarantees are full and unconditional, and all guarantees are joint and several. As a result of the guarantee arrangements, the Company is required, in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, to present the following condensed consolidating financial statements.
The condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the investments in subsidiaries of the Company using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Condensed consolidating financial statements of Enova International, Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and certain factors that may affect future results, including economic and industry-wide factors, of Enova International, Inc. and its subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made, projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services to consumers and small businesses. In 2016, we extended approximately $2.1 billion in credit to borrowers. As of June 30, 2017, we offered or arranged loans to consumers in 33 states in the United States and in the United Kingdom and Brazil. We also offered financing to small businesses in all 50 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financing, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers who and small businesses which have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through June 30, 2017, we have completed over 41.2 million customer transactions and collected approximately 16 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”).
We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.
We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our 13 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions.
Our flexible and scalable technology platform allows us to process and complete customers’ transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2016, we processed approximately 3.8 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loans and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platform allows us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly. In 2012, we launched a new product in the United States designed to serve near-prime customers, and in April 2014 we introduced a similar product in the United Kingdom. In June 2014, we launched our business in Brazil, where we arrange financing for borrowers through a third party lender. In addition, in July 2014, we introduced a new line of credit product in the United States to serve the needs of small businesses. In June 2015, we further expanded our product offering by acquiring certain assets of a company that provides financing to small businesses by offering RPAs (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report). In May 2017, we expanded products available to small businesses by offering installment loans. These new products are intended to allow us to further diversify our product offerings, customer base and geographic scope. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, we derived 84.5% of our total revenue from the United States and 15.5% of our total revenue internationally, with 87.3% of international revenue (representing 13.6% of our total revenue) generated in the United Kingdom.
We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct
marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lenders. We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.
Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partners typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and they allow us to complete a high volume of customer transactions while actively managing risk and the related quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technology innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competitive platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable portfolio quality.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds into their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees, interest and/or revenue. We originate, arrange, guarantee or purchase short-term consumer loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services.
Short-term consumer loans. Short-term consumer loans are unsecured loans written by us or by a third-party lender through our credit services organization and credit access business programs, which we refer to as our CSO programs, that we arrange and guarantee. As of June 30, 2017, we offered or arranged short-term consumer loans in 18 states in the United States and the United Kingdom. Short-term consumer loans generally have terms of seven to 90 days, with proceeds promptly deposited in the customer’s bank account in exchange for a pre-authorized debit from their account. Due to the credit risk and high transaction costs of serving our customer segment, the interest and/or fees we charge are generally considered to be higher than the interest or fees charged to consumers with superior credit histories by banks and similar lenders who are typically unwilling to make unsecured loans to alternative credit consumers. Our short-term consumer loans contributed approximately 24.6% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 27.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Line of credit accounts. As of June 30, 2017 we offered new consumer line of credit accounts in seven states in the United States and business line of credit accounts in 28 states in the United States, which allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of their line of credit account. As long as the customer’s account is in good standing and has credit available, customers may continue to borrow on their line of credit. As a result of regulatory changes in 2014, we discontinued offering line of credit accounts to customers in the United Kingdom effective January 1, 2015. Our line of credit accounts contributed approximately 31.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Installment loans. Installment loans are longer-term loans that require the outstanding principal balance to be paid down in multiple installments. We offer, or arrange through our CSO programs and market and purchase through our Bank program, multi-payment unsecured consumer installment loan products in 29 states in the United States and small business installment loans in 10 states. We also offer multi-payment unsecured consumer installment loan products in the United Kingdom and Brazil. Terms for our installment loan products range between two and 60 months. These loans generally have higher principal amounts than short-term loans. Loans may be repaid early at any time with no prepayment charges. Installment loans that we originated and purchased contributed approximately 42.3% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Receivables purchase agreements. Under RPAs, small businesses receive funds in exchange for a portion of the business’s future receivables at an agreed upon discount. In contrast, lending is a commitment to repay principal and interest. A small business customer who enters into a RPA commits to delivering a percentage of its receivables through ACH or wire debits or by splitting credit card receipts until all purchased receivables are delivered. We offer RPAs in all 50 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Revenue earned from RPAs contributed 2.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
CSO Programs. Through our CSO programs, we provide services related to third-party lenders’ short-term and installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO programs include credit-related services such as arranging loans with independent third-party lenders and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”). Under our CSO programs, we guarantee consumer loan payment obligations to the third party lender in the event the customer defaults on the loan. When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to
35
repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We in turn are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific short-term loans, which generally have terms of less than 90 days, and specific installment loans, which have terms of four to 12 months, if they go into default.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active short-term consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $24.1 million and $24.5 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active installment loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $3.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.
Bank program. In March 2016, we launched a program with a state-chartered bank where we provide technology, loan servicing and marketing services to the bank in 15 states and Washington D.C. in the United States as of June 30, 2017. Our bank partner offers unsecured consumer installment loans with an annual percentage rate (“APR”) at or below 36%. We also have the ability to purchase loans originated through this program. We plan to grow this program through expanding to more states and adding additional partners. Revenue generated from this program for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 1.9% and less than 0.1% of our total revenue, respectively.
OUR MARKETS
We currently provide our services in the following countries:
United States. We began our online business in the United States in May 2004. As of June 30, 2017, we provide services in all 50 states and Washington D.C. We market our financing products under the names CashNetUSA at www.cashnetusa.com, NetCredit at www.netcredit.com, Headway Capital at www.headwaycapital.com and The Business Backer at www.businessbacker.com.
United Kingdom. We provide services in the United Kingdom under the names QuickQuid at www.quickquid.co.uk, Pounds to Pocket at www.poundstopocket.co.uk and On Stride Financial at www.onstride.co.uk. We began our QuickQuid short-term consumer loan business in July 2007, our Pounds to Pocket installment loan business in September 2010, and our On Stride near-prime installment loan business in April 2014.
Brazil. On June 30, 2014, we launched our business in Brazil where we arrange installment loans for a third party lender under the name Simplic at www.simplic.com.br. We plan to continue to invest and expand our lending in Brazil.
Our internet websites and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Exiting Australia and Canada Markets
We previously provided services under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.com.au in Australia, and we began providing services there in May 2009. We previously provided services in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.ca, and we began providing services there in October 2009. Due to the small size of the Australian and Canadian markets and our limited operations there, we decided to exit those markets in 2016 and reallocate our resources to our other existing businesses. As a result, we have stopped lending activities and have wound down our loan portfolios.
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
On July 10, 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule on arbitration. The rule prohibits class action waivers in certain consumer financial services contracts and requires financial services providers covered by the rule to submit certain records to the CFPB if arbitration is used to resolve disputes with consumers. The rule will apply to contracts entered into beginning on March 19, 2018 (and will not apply to prior contracts with class action waivers or arbitration agreements unless such accounts or debts are sold after that date). However, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has 60 legislative days after publication of the rule in the Federal Register (which occurred on July 19, 2017) to strike it down by a majority vote in both Houses of Congress. We cannot currently assess the likelihood of the rule becoming effective. Any judicial decisions, legislation or other rules or regulations that impair our ability to enter into and enforce consumer arbitration agreements and class action waivers will increase our exposure to class action litigation as well as litigation in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, which would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 1270 on March 31, 2017 and Senate Bill 527 on April 10, 2017. The governor of Maryland signed the legislation into law on May 25, 2017. The new law limits the total fees, charges and interest that can be assessed
36
on unsecured revolving credit plans with Maryland consumers to an effective rate of 33% per year. The law went into effect on July 1, 2017 with regard to new revolving credit plans.
On November 29, 2016, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), our primary regulator in the United Kingdom, issued a Call for Input seeking evidence and feedback to further inform its previous reviews of the high-cost credit market, including a review of the payday loan price cap that was implemented on January 2, 2015. On July 31, 2017, the FCA published the outcome of its review and decided not to change the price cap but to review it again in three years. The FCA found that regulation of high-cost short-term credit, including the price cap, has led to substantial benefits to consumers. The FCA validated concerns about specific products and segments of the high-cost credit market, including unarranged overdrafts and long-term use of high-cost credit and the rent-to-own, home-collected credit and catalog credit markets. The FCA plans to investigate those products and segments further and issue a Consultation Paper on proposed solutions in the spring of 2018. We do not currently know what solutions the FCA may implement as a result or how any changes may affect our business operations. If any new rules or guidance significantly restrict the conduct of our business, such implementation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Also on July 31, 2017, the FCA issued a Consultation Paper on proposed changes to its rules and guidance on assessing creditworthiness in consumer credit. The FCA has requested responses to the consultation by October 31, 2017 and expects to publish its findings in the second quarter of 2018. We do not currently know whether or how the FCA may amend its rules and guidance on assessing creditworthiness in consumer credit or how it will affect our business operations. If any new rules or guidance significantly restrict the conduct of our business, such implementation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.
Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our
38
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes 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 expense items.
The following table provides reconciliations between net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are shown net of tax (in thousands, except per share data):

Adjusted EBITDA
The table below shows Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and lease termination and relocation costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustment for lease termination and relocation costs shown below is useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of the expense item. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (in thousands):

Constant Currency Basis
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency basis. We operate in the United Kingdom and Brazil. During the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 16.8% and 15.5%, respectively, of our revenue originated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the British Pound Sterling. As a result, changes in our reported revenue and profits include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As additional information to the reader, we provide constant currency assessments in the following discussion and analysis to remove and/or quantify the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilize constant currency results in our analysis of performance. Our constant currency assessment assumes foreign exchange rates in the current fiscal periods remained the same as in the prior fiscal year periods. All conversion rates below are based on the U.S. Dollar equivalent to one of the applicable foreign currencies:

Management believes that our non-GAAP constant currency assessments are a useful measure, as they indicate the actual growth and profitability of our operations.
Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures
In addition to reporting loans and finance receivables balance information in accordance with GAAP (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report), we have provided metrics on a combined basis. The Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures are non-GAAP measures that include both loans and RPAs we own or have purchased and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. See “—Loan and Finance Receivable Balances,” “—Loans
and Finance Receivables Loss Experience” and “—Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product” below for reconciliations between Company owned and purchased loans and finance receivables, gross, allowance and liability for losses, cost of revenue and charge-offs (net of recoveries) calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivable portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management also believes that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our balance sheet since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our financial statements.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $17.4 million, or 10.1%, to $189.9 million for the current quarter as compared to $172.5 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $20.4 million, or 11.8%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $17.8 million, primarily resulting from a 17.3% increase in domestic line of credit account revenue and a 14.2% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter driven by strong customer demand for these products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $0.4 million (an increase of $2.6 million on a constant currency basis) from our international operations.
Our gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $110.0 million for the current quarter from $107.1 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by $5.1 million for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or our gross profit margin, decreased to 57.9%, or 58.1% on a constant currency basis, for the current quarter, from 62.1% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the continued strong new customer growth of our domestic short-term and sub-prime installment and small business line of credit portfolios, which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance.

Loan and Finance Receivable Balances
Our loan and finance receivable balance in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $647.8 million and $563.8 million, respectively, before the allowance for losses of $83.8 million and $73.8 million, respectively. The combined loan and finance receivable balance includes $28.0 million and $31.2 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of consumer loan balances that are guaranteed by us but not owned by us, which are not included in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, before the liability for estimated losses of $1.9 million and $1.8 million provided in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The ending portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance for losses, increased $74.0 million, or 15.1%, to $564.0 million as of June 30, 2017 from $490.0 million as of June 30, 2016, and the outstanding combined portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance and liability for estimated losses, increased $70.7 million, or 13.6%, to $590.1 million as of June 30, 2017 from $519.4 million as of June 30, 2016, primarily due to increased demand for our domestic near-prime installment and consumer and small business line of credit products. The outstanding loan balance for our domestic near-prime product increased 23.6% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulting in a domestic near-prime portfolio balance that comprises 42.4% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio balance while short-term loans comprised approximately 12.7% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio balance in the current quarter, compared to 14.0% in the prior year quarter. We expect this trend to continue as we increase the number of states offering a near-prime installment lending product under our bank program. Management expects the loan balances for our domestic near-prime installment loan product will continue to comprise a larger percentage of the total loan and finance receivable portfolio, due to customer demand for these products and their longer loan term. Our portfolio of loans and finance receivables serving the needs of small businesses remains stable and comprises more than 12% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio. See “—Non-GAAP Disclosure—Combined Loans and Finance Receivables” above for additional information related to combined loans and finance receivables.

Average Amount Outstanding per Loan
The average amount outstanding per loan is calculated as the total combined loans, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined loans outstanding at the end of the period.

The average amount outstanding per consumer loan increased to $1,277 from $1,173 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a greater mix of installment loans and line of credit accounts, which have higher average amounts outstanding relative to short-term loans, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Average Loan Origination
The average loan origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans originated and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined loans originated and renewed for the period.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience
The allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined loans and RPAs remained flat at 12.7% as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.
The cost of revenue in the current quarter was $79.9 million, which was composed of $79.1 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and a $0.8 million increase in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. The cost of revenue in the prior year quarter was $65.4 million, which was composed of $64.8 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and a $0.6 million increase in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $78.8 million and $58.6 million in the current quarter and the prior year quarter, respectively.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product
Management evaluates loss rates for all financing products in our portfolio to determine credit quality and evaluate trends. For our products, we evaluate loans and finance receivables losses as a percentage of the average loan and finance receivable balance outstanding or the average combined loan and finance receivable balance outstanding, whichever is applicable, for each portfolio.
Short-term Loans
Demand for our short-term loan product in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers’ receipt of income tax refunds. Customer demand for short-term loans in the United Kingdom was very strong in the first half of 2017 while demand in the United States remained stable. This led to higher short-term consumer loan balances.
Our gross profit margin for short-term loans is typically highest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to the seasonal decline in consumer loan balances outstanding. The cost of revenue as a percentage of the average combined loan balance for short-term loans outstanding is typically lower in the first quarter and generally peaks in the second half of the year with higher loan demand.

Line of Credit Accounts
The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan balance for line of credit accounts exhibits a similar quarterly seasonal trend to short-term loan loss rates as the ratio is typically lower in the first quarter and increases throughout the remainder of the year, peaking in the second half of the year with higher loan demand. The gross profit margin is generally lower for line of credit accounts as compared to short-term loans because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the account, while revenue is recognized over the term of the account. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth, the gross profit margin will be lower for this product than for our short-term loan products. Conversely, in periods of declining originations and portfolio contraction, the gross profit margin will be higher for this product. The year over year increase in the allowance for losses as a percentage of loan balance was due to higher new and existing customer demand for the domestic line of credit product in the second quarter of 2017.

Installment Loans and RPAs
The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan and finance receivable balance for installment loans and RPAs is typically more consistent throughout the year as compared to short-term loans and line of credit accounts. Due to the scheduled monthly or bi-weekly payments and delivery of receivables that are inherent with installment loans and RPAs, we do not experience the higher level of repayments in the first quarter for these products as we experience with short-term loans and, to a lesser extent, line of credit accounts.
The gross profit margin is generally lower for the installment loan product than for other loan products, primarily because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the loan, while revenue is recognized over the term of the loan. In addition, installment loans and RPAs typically have higher average origination amounts. Another factor contributing to the lower gross profit margin is that the product yield for installment loans and RPAs is typically lower than the yield for the other financing products we offer. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth for the installment loan and RPA portfolios, particularly our near-prime customer base, which has been the case in recent years, the gross profit margin is typically lower for this product than for our short-term loan and line of credit products. Our average installment combined loan and RPA portfolio balance outstanding at June 30, 2017 increased 18.7% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, we experienced a lower gross profit margin than we experienced in the prior year quarter as a result of the growth in our domestic near-prime installment portfolio and RPAs.

Total expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 4.4%, to $74.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $78.3 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $2.7 million, or 3.4%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Marketing expense decreased to $23.4 million in the current quarter compared to $25.6 million in the prior year quarter. Lower online marketing costs were partially offset by higher direct mail costs and lead expenses.
Operations and technology expense increased to $21.8 million in the current quarter compared to $21.0 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher headcount costs in our call center and underwriting and transaction expenses were partially offset by lower selling expenses and computer and software costs.
General and administrative expense decreased $1.3 million, or 4.6%, to $26.2 million in the current quarter compared to $27.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower third-party consulting expenses and higher capitalized wages on internally developed software in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
47
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.8 million, or 20.4%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation in the prior year quarter resulting from our exit from the Australian and Canadian markets.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $1.0 million, or 6.2%, to $17.0 million in the current quarter compared to $16.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $46.1 million to $634.7 million during the current quarter from $588.6 million during the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.65% during the current quarter from 11.03% during the prior year quarter.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.3 million, or 26.0%, to $6.4 million in the current quarter compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a 37.7% increase in income before income taxes partially offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate to 35.0% in the current quarter from 38.2% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current quarter is mainly due to an adjustment related to the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation.
As of June 30, 2017, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $562 thousand ($529 thousand net of the federal benefit of state matters), all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in any future periods. We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2016. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized domestic tax benefits will change by a significant amount. We record interest and penalties related to tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.
Our U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The IRS audits for tax years 2011 through 2014 were concluded with no adjustments to the financial statements. The 2015 tax year is open to examination by the IRS. The years open to examination by state, local, and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three to four years from the date the tax return is filed.
Net income increased $3.7 million, or 45.0%, to $11.9 million during the current quarter compared to $8.2 million during the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven primarily by an additional contribution of $6.9 million from our domestic line of credit product and lower expenses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
Revenue increased $35.0 million, or 10.1%, to $382.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, or current six-month period, as compared to $347.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, or prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $41.2 million, or 11.9%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $39.0 million, resulting from a 19.6% increase in line of credit revenue and a 14.3% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period primarily driven by growth in our line of credit account and near-prime installment products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from international operations of $4.0 million (an increase of $2.2 million on a constant currency basis).
Our gross profit increased by $8.2 million to $220.4 million for the current six-month period from $212.2 million for the prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by $13.3 million for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 57.7% for the current six-month period, from 61.1% for the prior year six-month period. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the strong new customer growth of our domestic short-term consumer loan, installment loan and RPA portfolios resulting in a higher mix of those products in the total portfolio, higher mix of new customers overall which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance, and the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit product. Gross profit from the discontinued U.K. line of credit product decreased $2.3 million for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Excluding that discontinued product, our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 57.4% for the current six-month period from 60.2% for the prior year six-month period. See “—Recent Regulatory Developments—Financial Conduct Authority” above for further information. Management expects the consolidated gross profit margin will continue to be influenced by
48
the mix of loans to new and returning customers, the mix of lower yielding and higher yielding loan products, and loan originations for our U.K. operations and near-prime products.
The following tables set forth the components of revenue and gross profit, separated by product and between domestic and international for the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period (in thousands):

The average loan origination amount decreased to $502 from $513 during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, mainly due to a decrease in the size of average installment loan originations.
The cost of revenue in the current six-month period was $161.8 million, which was composed of $161.8 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables. The cost of revenue in the prior year six-month period was $135.0 million, which was composed of $134.9 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and $0.1 million related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $177.6 million and $128.6 million in the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period, respectively.
Total expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 2.9%, to $147.1 million in the current six-month period, compared to $151.5 million in the prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 1.8%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period.
Marketing expense decreased to $43.0 million in the current six-month period compared to $46.8 million in the prior year six-month period. Lower online and traditional marketing costs were partially offset by higher lead generation costs and direct mail costs.
Operations and technology expense increased to $45.3 million in the current six-month period compared to $41.1 million in the prior year six-month period, primarily due to higher personnel expenses, underwriting and transaction costs and software costs primarily related to our domestic operations.
General and administrative expense decreased $3.5 million, or 6.3%, to $51.9 million in the current six-month period compared to $55.4 million in the prior year six-month period, primarily due to lower consulting expenses related to various initiatives that were completed in the prior year and lower third-party legal and compliance costs associated with the regulatory changes in the United Kingdom.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.3 million, or 16.5%, in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation in the prior year six-month period resulting from our exit from the Australian and Canadian markets.
Interest expense, net increased $2.3 million, or 7.2%, to $34.2 million in the current six-month period compared to $31.9 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $45.0 million to $636.6 million during the current six-month period from $591.6 million during the prior year six-month period, partially offset by a slight decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.72% during the current six-month period from 10.92% during the prior year six-month period.
Provision for income taxes increased $0.9 million, or 7.1%, to $13.6 million in the current six-month period compared to $12.7 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to a 27.9% increase in income before income taxes and a decrease in the effective tax rate to 34.6% in the current six-month period from 41.3% in the prior year six-month period. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current six-month period is mainly due to an adjustment related to share based compensation deferred tax that occurred in the prior year six-month period.
50
Net income increased $7.7 million, or 42.5%, to $25.8 million during the current six-month period compared to $18.1 million during the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven primarily by an additional contribution of $15.4 million from our domestic line of credit product and lower expenses in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Funding Strategy
Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities for funding both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan and financing products, and to meet the continued growth in the demand for our near-prime installment products. On May 30, 2014, we issued and sold $500.0 million in senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”). On June 30, 2017, we entered into an asset-backed secured revolving credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) which replaced our previous credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) that was terminated on June 30, 2017, as further described below under “Revolving Credit Facilities.” As of August 1, 2017, our available borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement were $24.0 million. On January 15, 2016 and December 1, 2016, we entered into the 2016-1 and 2016‑2 Securitization Facilities, respectively, as further described below. As of August 1, 2017, the outstanding balance under our securitization facilities was $139.5 million. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer loan securitization facilities.
As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. 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. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending and financing to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.
On January 15, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (as amended, the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary. The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under our NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”) and serviced by another subsidiary.
The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month. As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility is limited to $175 million.
At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes will be issued to the holders of the Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the latest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility has been amended to extend the revolving period to October 2017 and the latest maturity to October 2021, as discussed below.
The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate is initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on
51
outstanding Securitization Notes are made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date. The Securitization Notes are supported by the cash flows from the underlying Receivables. The holders of the Securitization Notes have no recourse to us if the cash flows from the underlying Receivables are not sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the Securitization Notes unless the underlying Receivables breach the representations and warranties made by us as of the related sale date as described below. Additionally, the Receivables will be held by the Issuer at least until the obligations under the Securitization Notes are satisfied. For so long as the Receivables are owned by the Issuer, the outstanding Receivables will not be available to satisfy our other debts and obligations.
The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between us and Enova Finance 5, LLC. On July 26, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes included revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the Variable Funding Notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of the Receivables that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.
On August 17, 2016, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for Receivables that we sell under the Agreement.
On September 12, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized us to include in the 2016-1 Facility Receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of us from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.
On October 20, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Indenture. The Third Amendment increased the maximum principal amount of the 2016-1 Facility to $275 million, increased the Variable Funding Notes maximum principal amount to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, and extended the term of the facility to October 2017. The Third Amendment also adjusted the Note Interest Rate on Term Notes issued after, and amounts outstanding under the Variable Funding Notes after, the date of the Third Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). The weighted average interest rate on such adjusted Notes will be 9.5%.
On November 14, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fourth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture), with an effective date of October 31, 2016.
On December 14, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fifth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for the Initial Term Notes, with an effective date of November 30, 2016, expanded the categories of Receivables that could be financed through the 2016-1 Facility and made certain other minor changes. These changes will provide us with additional flexibility under the 2016-1 Facility.
On December 1, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-2 Facility”) with Redpoint Capital Asset Funding, LLC, as lender (the “Lender”). The 2016-2 Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans
52
(“Redpoint Receivables”) that have been and will be originated or acquired under our NetCredit brand by several of our subsidiaries (the “Originators”) and that meet specified eligibility criteria, including that the annual percentage rate for each securitized consumer loan is greater than or equal to 90%. Under the 2016-2 Facility, Redpoint Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of ours (the “Debtor”) and serviced by another subsidiary of ours.
The Debtor has issued a revolving note with an initial maximum principal balance of $20.0 million (the “Initial Facility Size”), which is required to be secured by $25.0 million in unsecured consumer loans. The Initial Facility Size may be increased under the 2016-2 Facility to $40 million. The 2016-2 Facility is non-recourse to us and matures on December 1, 2019.
The 2016-2 Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Redpoint Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay the related Receivables; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the 2016-2 Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables and defaults under other material indebtedness of the Debtor.
2017 Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2017, we and certain of our operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-backed secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks including TBK Bank, SSB (“TBK”), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Jefferies Finance LLC and TBK as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Lead Bookrunners, and Green Bank, N.A., as Lender.
The 2017 Credit Agreement is secured by domestic receivables and replaced the 2014 Credit Agreement (as described below). The borrowing limit in the 2017 Credit Agreement increased to $40 million from $35 million in the 2014 Credit Agreement, and its maturity date is May 1, 2020. We had no outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2017.
The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, the attachment of liens to our property, the amount of dividends and other distributions, fundamental changes to us or our business and certain other of our activities. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains standard financial covenants for a facility of this type based on a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements, and certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.
2014 Credit Agreement
On March 25, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to our revolving credit facility with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent. The amendment reduced our unsecured revolving line of credit to $65.0 million (from $75.0 million) and increased an additional senior secured indebtedness basket to the greater of $20.0 million or 2.75% of consolidated total assets (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) (from $15.0 million or 2% of consolidated total assets). In addition, the March 25, 2015 amendment revised certain definitions and provisions relating to limitations on indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes and burdensome agreements to allow certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which opt to become guarantors of our obligations under the 2014 Credit Agreement, to be treated as domestic subsidiaries for purposes of those provisions.
53
On December 29, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which temporarily increased our unsecured revolving line of credit to $75.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million ($5.0 million on December 29, 2015 and $10.0 million on January 4, 2016). Once we received the proceeds from the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, we repaid the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit in full and, in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the revolving commitment amount was reduced to $40.0 million.
On June 30, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 4.00 to 1.00 (from 3.00 to 1.00) and for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 to 3.50 to 1.00 (in each case, from 3.00 to 1.00).
On September 30, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and thereafter to 4.25 to 1.00 (from 3.50 to 1.00) and decreased the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit to $35.0 million.
Our 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated on June 30, 2017.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows and other key indicators of liquidity are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
Cash flows provided by operating activities
Cash flows used in investing activities
Loans and finance receivables
(164,731
(190,184
Total cash flows used in investing activities
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.6 million, or 3.1%, to $186.1 million for the current six-month period from $180.5 million for the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily driven by a $26.7 million increase in cost of revenue, a non-cash expense, during the current six-month period, and a $7.7 million increase in net income.
Other significant changes in net cash provided by operating activities for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period included cash flows from the following activities:
changes in finance and service charges on loans and finance receivables resulted in a $13.4 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to strong line of credit and installment loan originations in the second half of 2016; and
changes in deferred income taxes, net resulted in a $10.7 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to the change in the loan loss reserve balances.
changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in a $24.4 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to lower accrued expense liabilities and a lower fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to a prior acquisition.
changes in current income taxes resulted in a $22.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to the prepayment of tax expenses.
changes in other receivables and prepaid expenses resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to prepayment of marketing, computer software and underwriting expenses.
Management believes cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our consumer loan securitization facilities and 2017 Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our 2017 Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof, and additional securitization of consumer loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.
54
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $57.1 million, or 25.3%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. This decrease was primarily due to a $25.5 million decrease in net cash invested in loans and finance receivables, reflecting a $27.2 million increase in payments received from customers, as well as an increase in the change in restricted cash resulting in a $27.9 million decrease in cash used in investing activities.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the current six-month period primarily reflects $13.4 million in net repayments under our securitization facilities and $1.8 million of debt issuance costs paid in connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the prior year six-month period primarily reflects $106.8 million in net borrowings under our 2016-1 Securitization Facility, partially offset by $58.4 million of net repayments under our unsecured revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement and $3.3 million of debt issuance costs paid in connection with the consumer loan securitization financing transactions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In certain markets, we arrange for consumers to obtain consumer loan products from independent third-party lenders through our CSO programs. For consumer loan products originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the customer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. When a customer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the customer, to provide certain services to the customer, one of which is to guarantee the customer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the customer from the third-party lender if the customer fails to do so. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans if they go into default, which generally occurs after one payment is missed. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $28.0 million and $31.2 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by us of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Our CSO programs are further described under the caption “Products and Services” above.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks since December 31, 2016.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent or detect all possible misstatements due to error or fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, except as follows:
The lending and financing industry continues to be targeted by new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions that could restrict the lending and financing products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current operations.
Governments at the national, state and local levels, as well as international governments, may seek to impose new laws, regulatory restrictions or licensing requirements that affect the products or services we offer, the terms on which we may offer them, and the disclosure, compliance and reporting obligations we must fulfill in connection with our lending and financing business. They may also interpret or enforce existing requirements in new ways that could restrict our ability to continue our current methods of operation or to expand operations, impose significant additional compliance costs, and may have a negative effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In some cases these measures could even directly prohibit some or all of our current business activities in certain jurisdictions, or render them unprofitable and/or impractical to continue.
In recent years, consumer loans, and in particular the category commonly referred to as “payday loans,” which includes certain of our short-term loan products, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny that has resulted in increasingly restrictive regulations and legislation that makes offering such loans in certain states in the United States or the international countries where we operate (as further described below) less profitable or unattractive. Laws or regulations in some states in the United States require that all borrowers of certain short-term loan products be reported to a centralized database and limit the number of loans a borrower may receive or have outstanding. Other laws limit the availability of some of our consumer loan products in the United States to active duty military personnel, active members of the National Guard or members on active reserve duty and their spouses and immediate dependents.
Certain consumer advocacy groups and federal and state legislators and regulators have advocated that laws and regulations should be tightened so as to severely limit, if not eliminate, the type of loan products and services we offer to consumers, and this has resulted in both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. federal government and state governmental bodies exhibiting an interest in debating legislation that could further regulate consumer loan products and services such as those that we offer. The U.S. Congress, as well as other similar federal, state and local bodies and similar international governmental authorities, have debated, and may in the future adopt, legislation or regulations that could, among other things, place a cap (or decrease a current cap) on the interest or fees that we can charge or a cap on the effective annual percentage rate that limits the amount of interest or fees that may be charged, ban or limit loan renewals or extensions of short-term loans (where the customer agrees to pay the current finance charge on a loan for the right to make payment of the outstanding principal balance of such loan at a later date plus an additional finance charge), including the rates to be charged for loan renewals or extensions, require us to offer an extended payment plan, limit origination fees for loans, require changes to our underwriting or collections practices, require lenders to be bonded or to report consumer loan activity to databases designed to monitor or restrict consumer borrowing activity, impose “cooling off” periods between the time a loan is paid off and another loan is obtained or prohibit us from providing any of our consumer loan products in the United States to active duty military personnel, active members of the National Guard or members on active reserve duty and their spouses and immediate dependents.
The Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 1270 on March 31, 2017 and Senate Bill 527 on April 10, 2017. The governor of Maryland signed the legislation into law on May 25, 2017. The new law limits the total fees, charges and interest that can be assessed on unsecured revolving credit plans with Maryland consumers to an effective rate of 33% per year. The law went into effect on July 1, 2017 with regard to new revolving credit plans.
We cannot currently assess the likelihood of any future unfavorable federal, state, local or international legislation or regulations being proposed or enacted that could affect our products and services. We closely monitor proposed legislation in jurisdictions where we offer our loan products. Additional legislative or regulatory provisions could be enacted that could severely restrict, prohibit or eliminate our ability to offer a consumer or small business loan or financing product. In addition, under statutory authority, U.S. state regulators have broad discretionary power and may impose new licensing requirements, interpret or enforce existing regulatory requirements in different ways or issue new administrative rules, even if not contained in state statutes, that could adversely affect the
way we do business and may force us to terminate or modify our operations in particular states or affect our ability to obtain new licenses or renew the licenses we hold.
Significant new laws and regulations have also been adopted in the United Kingdom, and further new laws and regulations will continue to be imposed. See “— The United Kingdom has imposed, and continues to impose, increased regulation of the short-term high-cost credit industry with the stated expectation that some firms will exit the market” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for additional information. Furthermore, legislative or regulatory actions may be influenced by negative perceptions of us and our industry, even if such negative perceptions are inaccurate, attributable to conduct by third parties not affiliated with us (such as other industry members), or attributable to matters not specific to our industry.
Any of these or other legislative or regulatory actions that affect our lending and financing business at the national, state, international and local level could, if enacted or interpreted differently, have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could prohibit or directly or indirectly impair our ability to continue current operations.
Judicial decisions, CFPB rule-making or amendments to the Federal Arbitration Act could render the arbitration agreements we use illegal or unenforceable.
We include arbitration provisions in our consumer and business loan and financing agreements. These provisions are designed to allow us to resolve any customer disputes through individual arbitration rather than in court and explicitly provide that all arbitrations will be conducted on an individual and not on a class basis. Thus, our arbitration agreements, if enforced, have the effect of shielding us from class action liability. Our arbitration agreements do not generally have any impact on regulatory enforcement proceedings. We take the position that the arbitration provisions in loan and financing agreements, including class action waivers, are valid and enforceable; however, the enforceability of arbitration provisions is often challenged in court. If those challenges are successful, our arbitration and class action waiver provisions could be unenforceable, which could subject us to additional litigation, including additional class action litigation.
In addition, the U.S. Congress has considered legislation that would generally limit or prohibit mandatory arbitration agreements in consumer contracts and has enacted legislation with such a prohibition with respect to certain mortgage loan agreements and also certain consumer loan agreements to members of the military on active duty and their dependents. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act directed the CFPB to study consumer arbitration and report to the U.S. Congress, and it authorized the CFPB to adopt rules limiting or prohibiting consumer arbitration, consistent with the results of its study.
On July 10, 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule on arbitration. The rule prohibits class action waivers in certain consumer financial services contracts and requires financial services providers to submit certain records to the CFPB if arbitration is used to resolve disputes with consumers. The rule will apply to contracts entered into beginning on March 19, 2018 (and will not apply to prior contracts with class action waivers or arbitration agreements unless such accounts or debts are sold after that date). However, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has 60 legislative days after publication of the rule in the Federal Register (which occurred on July 19, 2017) to strike it down by a majority vote in both Houses of Congress. We cannot currently assess the likelihood of the rule becoming effective. As a result, it is not currently possible to predict the ultimate scope, extent, nature, timing or effect of any rule eventually made effective. We cannot give any assurances that the effect of the final rule if made effective will not have a material impact on our U.S. products and services.
Any judicial decisions, legislation or other rules or regulations that impair our ability to enter into and enforce consumer arbitration agreements and class action waivers will increase our exposure to class action litigation as well as litigation in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, which would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
