Nature of the Company
Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), formed on September 7, 2011, is an independent, publicly traded company, and the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENVA.” Enova and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) operate 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 loan and finance receivable products that are primarily unsecured. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. As of December 31, 2024, the Company offered or arranged loans to consumers under the names “CashNetUSA” and “NetCredit” in 37 states in the United States and under the name “Simplic” in Brazil. The Company also offered financing to small businesses in 49 states and Washington D.C. in the United States under the names “OnDeck” and “Headway Capital.”
The Company originates, guarantees or purchases consumer loans. Consumer loans provide customers with cash in their bank account, typically in exchange for an obligation to repay the amount advanced plus fees and/or interest. Consumer loans include installment loans and line of credit accounts. The Company provides or has provided financing to small businesses through either installment loans, a receivables purchase agreement product (“RPAs”) or a line of credit account. RPAs represent a right to receive future receivables from a small business. Small businesses receive funds in exchange for a portion of the business’ future receivables at an agreed upon discount. In contrast, lending is a commitment to repay principal and interest. “Loans and finance receivables” include consumer loans, small business loans and RPAs.
Installment loans are loans written by the Company, by a third-party lender through the Company’s credit services organization or credit access business program (“CSO program” as further described below) that the Company guarantees or by a bank partner. Installment loans include longer-term loans that require the outstanding principal balance to be paid down in multiple installments. Line of credit accounts include draws made through the Company’s line of credit products.
Through the Company’s CSO program, the Company provides services related to a third-party lender’s consumer loan products in Texas by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under the CSO program 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 the CSO program, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to the third-party lender in the event that the customer defaults on the loan, at which point, the loan is purchased by the Company. Prior to any potential purchase, CSO loans are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company operates programs with certain banks to provide marketing services and loan servicing for near-prime unsecured consumer installment loans and line of credit accounts. Under the programs, the Company receives marketing and servicing fees while the bank receives an origination fee. The bank has the ability to sell and the Company has the option, but not the requirement, to purchase the loans the bank originates and, in the case of line of credit accounts, a participation interest in those accounts. The Company does not guarantee the performance of the loans and line of credit accounts originated by the bank. As part of the OnDeck business both prior and subsequent to Enova’s acquisition, OnDeck operates a program with a separate bank to provide marketing services and loan servicing for small business installment loans and line of credit accounts. Under the OnDeck program, the Company receives marketing fees while the bank receives origination fees and certain program fees. The bank has the ability to sell and the Company has the option, but not the requirement, to purchase the installment loans that the bank originates and, in the case of line of credit accounts, extensions under those line of credit accounts. The Company does not guarantee the performance of the loans originated by the bank.
The Company operates a money transfer platform that allows customers to send money from the United States to Mexico, other Latin American countries and Asia. Revenue is generated through fees per transfer and an exchange rate spread.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The consolidated financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired. The financial information included herein may not be indicative of the consolidated financial position, operating results, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company in the future. Intercompany transactions are eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) where it has determined the Company 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, fair value of loans and finance receivables, goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, empirical data and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translations
The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries that serve residents of Brazil is the Brazilian real. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date, and the resulting adjustments are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” (“AOCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expenses are translated at the monthly average exchange rates occurring during each period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers deposits in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash and cash equivalents.
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.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported within the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $73,910 | $54,357 | $100,165 |
| Restricted cash | 248,758 | 323,082 | 78,235 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $322,668 | $377,439 | $178,400 |
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 primarily includes: interest income, statement and draw fees on line of credit accounts, fees for services provided through the Company’s CSO program (“CSO fees”), revenue on RPAs, origination fees and other fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective yield basis over the contractual term of the loan on installment loans or the estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts. Statement fees on line of credit accounts are similar to interest charges and are generally recognized similarly to interest income. Draw fees on line of credit accounts are generally recognized at the time of draw. Revenue on RPAs is recognized over the projected delivery term of the agreement. CSO fees are recognized over the term of the loan. Origination fees are charged to customers on certain installment loan products and are recognized upon origination.
Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company utilizes the fair value option on its entire loan and finance receivable portfolio. As such, loans and finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated income statement. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss, prepayment and servicing cost assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in “Loans and finance receivables at fair value” in the consolidated balance sheets.
If a loan is renewed or refinanced, the renewal or refinanced loan is considered a new loan. The Company generally does not consider modifications that do not necessitate the customer to sign a new loan agreement to be new loans.
Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. When a customer does not make a scheduled payment in full as of the due date, the receivable is considered delinquent. For the OnDeck portfolio, there is no accrual of interest income on loans when the customer misses their most recent payment. Excluding the OnDeck portfolio, there is no accrual of interest income on loans when a customer falls more than one payment behind. Loans may be returned to accrual status if the customer rectifies and the loan no longer meets non-accrual criteria. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.
The Company offers certain forbearance options on its loan products with features such as payment deferrals without the incurrence of additional finance charges or late fees. If a loan is deemed to be current and the customer makes a deferral or payment modification, the loan is still deemed to be current until the next scheduled payment is missed.
For consumer loans and finance receivables, the Company generally charges off a delinquent loan after 65 days past due, or earlier if deemed uncollectible at that point. For small business loans and finance receivables, the Company generally charges off a loan when it is probable that that it will be unable to collect all of the remaining principal payments, which is generally after 90 days of delinquency and 30 days of non-activity. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables that were previously charged off are generally recognized when collected or sold.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The cost of property retired or sold and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Costs associated with repair and maintenance activities are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is generally provided on a straight-line basis, using the following estimated useful lives:
| Computer hardware and software | 3 to 5 years |
|---|---|
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 3 to 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements (1) | 3 to 10 years |
(1)
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life, remaining lease term, or 10 years.
Software Development Costs
The Company applies ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software (“ASC 350-40”), to its software purchase and development activities. Under ASC 350-40, eligible internal and external costs incurred for the development of computer software applications, as well as for upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality of the applications, are capitalized to “Property and equipment” on the consolidated balance sheets. Internal and external training and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred or over the related service period. When a software application is placed in service, the Company begins amortizing the related capitalized software costs using the straight-line method based on its estimated useful life, which generally ranges from three tofive years.
Goodwill
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 ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the Company tests goodwill for potential impairment annually as of October 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the 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 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.
Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill
An evaluation of the recoverability of property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization is performed whenever the facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset are less than the asset’s corresponding carrying value. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.
The Company amortizes intangible assets subject to amortization on the basis of their expected periods of benefit, generally threeto 20 years. The costs of start-up activities and organization costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Investments in Unconsolidated Investees
The Company owns a 20% equity interest in On Deck Capital Australia PTY LTD (“OnDeck Australia”), which is recorded using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2024 the carrying value of the Company’s ownership in OnDeck Australia was $0.1 million, which the Company included in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31,2023, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in OnDeck Australia was $0.0 million.
On February 24, 2021, the Company contributed the platform-as-service business assumed in the OnDeck acquisition to Linear Financial Technologies Holding LLC (“Linear”) in exchange for ownership units in that entity. The Company recorded its interest in Linear under the equity method of accounting and included it in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. In 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $11.0 million related to the sale by Linear of its operating company. In the third quarter of 2024, Linear was dissolved, with its sole assets, consisting of preferred shares in a separate company, being distributed to the holders of Linear’s ownership units. Concurrently in the third quarter of 2024, the separate company executed a capital raise in which the Company opted not to participate that resulted in the Company’s preferred shares having a substantially less preferential position in the separate company’s capital structure. Because of their subordinated position, the preferred shares were valued at $0. As such, the Company recorded a loss of $16.6 million during 2024, which includes the carrying value of the investment of $16.1 million and the remaining unrealized loss of $0.5 million that had been recorded directly in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31,2024 and 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Linear was $0 and $16.1 million, respectively.
Equity method income has been included in “Equity method investment income” in the consolidated income statements.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses consist of digital costs, lead purchase costs and offline marketing costs such as television and direct mail advertising. All marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.
Operations and Technology Expenses
Operations and technology expenses include all expenses related to the direct operations and technology infrastructure related to loan underwriting and processing. This includes, but is not limited to, contact center and operations personnel costs, software maintenance expense, underwriting data from third-party vendors, bank/transaction fees and collection costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily include the Company’s corporate personnel costs, as well as legal, occupancy, and other related costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under this guidance the fair value of share-based compensation is determined at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense is recorded over the period in which the share-based compensation vests. However, with respect to income taxes, the related deduction from taxes payable is based on the award’s intrinsic value at the time of exercise (for an option) or on the fair value upon vesting of the award (for restricted stock units), which can be either greater (creating an excess tax benefit) or less (creating a tax deficiency) than the deferred tax benefit that is recorded as compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These excess tax benefits (deficiencies) are recognized in “Provision for income taxes” in the period that the tax deduction arises. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, they are classified in operating activities in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on income before income taxes as reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided for in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in order to recognize the tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that a more-likely-than-not threshold (greater than 50 percent) be met before the benefit of a tax position may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and prescribes how such benefit should be measured. The Company records interest and penalties related to tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company performs an evaluation of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company analyzes several factors, including the nature and frequency of operating losses, the Company’s carryforward period for any losses, the reversal of future taxable temporary differences, the expected occurrence of future income or loss and the feasibility of available tax planning strategies to protect against the loss of deferred tax assets. See Note 9 for further discussion.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 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 year. 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 years ended December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

- Leases
The Company has operating leases primarily for its corporate headquarters, other offices located in the U.S. and certain equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less thanone year toten years. Certain leases include options to extend the leases for up tofive years, while others include options to terminate the leases withinone year. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. All other operating leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet with right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The right-of-use assets represent the lease liability, plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. If a lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental secured borrowing rate, adjusted for the maturity date, based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in general and administrative expense.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into amendments related to its leases for office space in Denver and New York. The amendments, among other changes, resulted in extensions of the lease terms from April 2026 to October 2029 in Denver and from December 2026 to June 2032 in New York. As a result, the Company recognized an adjustment to increase its operating lease liability and operating lease right of use asset balance by $5.5 million.

Revolving Credit Facility
On June 23, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit agreement with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and BMO Capital Markets, Axos Bank, and Synovus Bank, as the joint lead arrangers and joint lead bookrunners (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement amended and restated the existing credit agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and TBK Bank, SSB, as administrative agent, in its entirety. On October 19, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Prior to the First Amendment, the Credit Agreement provided for a secured, asset-backed revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $440.0 million, with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit. The First Amendment increased the total commitment amount to $515.0 million with no change to the interest rate or maturity date. On September 11, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the total commitment amount to $665.0 million with no change to the interest rate or maturity date. The proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general business purposes. The Company had outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, of $453.0 million and $356.0 million, respectively, under the Credit Agreement.
The loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the base rate plus 0.75% or the SOFR rate plus 3.50%. In addition to customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, the Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the commitment, and ranges from 0.15% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. The Credit Agreement contains certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before the first and second anniversary dates, subject to certain exceptions. The loans mature on June 30, 2026. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement of $0.7 million and $0.8 million as of December 31,2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, make restricted payments, and enter into restrictive agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. The Credit Agreement also includes financial maintenance covenants, which require the Company to maintain compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains environmental, social, and governance provisions allowing amendment of the Credit Agreement to reflect subsequently agreed upon key performance indicators with respect to sustainability targets, achievement of which would result in adjustments to the commitment fee and applicable margins.

Included within both the current and deferred federal provision components for the year ended December 31, 2024 is a decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits reserve, which results in a current federal and state income tax benefit with an equal and offsetting deferred federal and state income tax expense, due to the temporary nature of the unrecognized tax benefits.
The effective tax rate on income differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% for the years ended December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022, for the following reasons (dollars in thousands):

The Company has gross federal net operating loss carryforwards of $11.2 million as of December 31,2024, mainly attributable to the Company’s 2020 acquisitions. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to the federal net operating loss carryforwards as they are not more likely than not to be utilized as the losses will be limited to the Section 382 ownership changes. The Company has established a tax-effected valuation allowance of $0.7 million as of December 31,2024 against the net operating losses that will expire prior to their utilization. Following the acquisition of OnDeck, the Company is subject to a Section 382 limitation associated with the built-in losses and other attributes of the acquired OnDeck assets. The reversal of certain deferred tax assets acquired by Enova associated with OnDeck assets may be determined to be recognized built-in losses as defined in Section 382. As such, the losses may be limited to the annual Section 382 limitation of approximately $1.0 million per year.
The Company has gross state net operating loss carryforwards of $277.4 million, $178.6 million and $341.6 million as of December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that, if unused, will expire between calendar years 2024 and 2044. The 2022 gross state net operating loss carryforwards include losses incurred in states that quantify net operating losses before the application of apportionment factors, and their inclusion inflates the total amount of state net operating loss carryforwards when compared to a population of states that quantify net operating losses after the application of apportionment factors. The Company has recorded a tax-effected valuation allowance of $9.5 million as of December 31,2024, primarily related to Louisiana state net operating loss carryforward deferred tax assets as they are not more likely than not to be utilized based on the calculation of income tax in the state of Louisiana. The state excludes interest income from its tax base and the Company does not anticipate generating a sufficient amount of non-interest income to enable the utilization of net operating losses.
The Company has gross foreign net operating loss carryforwards from Brazilian operations of $39.0 million, $29.5 million and $22.0 million as of December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitations and have an unlimited carryforward period. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance related to the Brazilian net operating loss carryforwards, as they are not more likely than not to be utilized. As of December 31, 2024, we currently have insignificant accumulated earnings in foreign jurisdictions. We intend to indefinitely reinvest these earnings and expect future U.S. cash generation to be sufficient to meet future U.S. cash needs.
The Company has gross federal capital loss carryforwards of $21.4 million as of December 31,2024, mainly attributable to the Company’s write-down on the investment in Linear in 2024. Capital losses can be carried back three years and carried forward five years. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to the capital loss that will not be utilized against capital gains within the three-year carryback window. The Company has established a tax-effected valuation allowance of $1.9 million as of December 31,2024 against the capital loss carryforwards that are not more likely than not to be utilized prior to their expiration as the Company cannot project future capital gains.
The following table summarizes the valuation allowance activity for the years ended December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |

A reconciliation of the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits follows for the years ended December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Balance at beginning of period | $173,707 | $83,833 | $42,024 |
| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 97,348 | 169,811 | 78,925 |
| Additions for tax positions of prior years | 59 | 244 | 276 |
| Reductions for tax positions of prior years | (169,345) | (76,100) | (36,638) |
| Reductions due to lapsed statute of limitations | (2,367) | (4,081) | (754) |
| Reductions due to settlement with taxing authorities | (125) | — | — |
| Balance at end of period | $99,277 | $173,707 | $83,833 |
Included in the balances of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are potential benefits of $7.2 million, $9.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively, that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in the period of recognition. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits for temporary items as of December 31,2024, 2023 and 2022 was $75.6 million, $125.9 million and $76.1 million, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31,2024 and 2023 includes $4.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Within the tabular rollforward, the additions and reductions based on tax positions related to the current year, primarily relate to a temporary uncertainty that is expected to reverse in the immediately following tax period. The table includes the net increase or decrease associated with this position. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits includes amounts classified as an increase in income taxes payable or the reduction of a deferred tax asset. In 2024, the Company decreased the balance of the unrecognized tax benefits reserve due to management’s evaluation and remeasurement of its settlement position related to the timing of recognition of income and losses related to the Company's loan and finance receivable portfolio.
The Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized domestic tax benefits will change by a significant amount up to and including the full amount of the reserve. The Company’s principal uncertainties are related to the timing of recognition of income and losses related to its loan and finance receivable portfolio. Depending upon the outcome of any future agreements or settlements with relevant taxing authorities, the amount of the uncertainty, including amounts that would be recognized as a component of the effective tax rate, could change significantly. While the total amount of uncertainty to be resolved is not clear, it is reasonably possible that the uncertainties pertaining to the tax positions will be resolved in the next twelve months.
The Company’s U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to the Company’s consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2020. The years open to examination by state, local and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed. For jurisdictions that have generated net operating losses, carryovers may be subject to the statute of limitations applicable for the year those carryovers are utilized. In these cases, the period for which the losses may be adjusted will extend to conform with the statute of limitations for the year in which the losses are utilized. In most circumstances, this is expected to increase the length of time that the applicable taxing authority may examine the carryovers by one year or longer, in limited cases.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees of Consumer Loans
In connection with its CSO program, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for consumer loans and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of consumer loans guaranteed by the Company had an estimated fair value of$28.4 million and$18.5 million, respectively, and an outstanding principal balance of$19.9 million and$13.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of consumer loans, including principal, fees and interest, guaranteed by the Company were $23.8 million and $16.4 million, respectively. These loans are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company does not own the loans prior to default.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
On November 15, 2023, the Company consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which the Company agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions, to pay a civil money penalty of $15.0 million. The civil money penalty is included in “General and Administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Consent Order relates to issues, the majority of which were self-disclosed, such as payment processing and debiting errors.
Litigation
On April 23, 2018, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through Attorney General Mark R. Herring, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for the County of Fairfax, Virginia against NC Financial Solutions of Utah, LLC (“NC Utah”), a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (“VCPA”) relating to NC Utah’s communications with customers, collections of certain payments, its loan agreements, and the rates it charged to Virginia borrowers. The plaintiff is seeking to enjoin NC Utah from continuing its current lending practices in Virginia, restitution, civil penalties, and costs and expenses in connection with the same. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable 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 carefully considered applicable Virginia law before NC Utah began lending in Virginia and, as a result, believes that the Plaintiff’s claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
The Company is also involved in certain routine legal proceedings, claims and 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. The Company has recorded accruals in its consolidated financial statements for those matters in which it is probable that it has incurred a loss and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. 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.
- Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors the Enova International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Enova 401(k) Plan”), which is open to all U.S. employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company also offers the Enova International, Inc. Nonqualified Savings Plan (the “NQSP”) for certain members of Company management. For the Enova 401(k) Plan, new employees are automatically enrolled in this plan unless they elect not to participate. The Company makes matching contributions of 100% of the first 1% of pay and 50% of the next 5% of pay that each employee contributes to the Enova 401(k) Plan. The Company’s matching contributions fully vest after a participant’s second year of service with the Company. The Company recorded compensation expense for combined contributions to these plans of $4.6 million, $4.1 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company also sponsors the Enova International, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in which certain officers and certain other employees of the Company participate. Under this defined contribution plan, the Company makes an annual supplemental cash contribution to the SERP based on the terms of the plan as approved by the Company’s Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company recorded compensation expense of $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million for SERP contributions for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The NQSP and the SERP are non-qualified deferred compensation plans for which the Company holds securities in rabbi trusts to pay benefits. These securities are classified as trading securities, and the unrealized gains and losses on these securities are netted with the costs of the plans in “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.
Amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets relating to the NQSP and the SERP were as follows (in thousands):
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Other receivables and prepaid expenses | $10,712 | $8,045 |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | $11,251 | $8,531 |
- Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Enova International, Inc. 2014 Fourth Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Enova LTIP”), the Company is authorized to issue 16,500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to “Awards” granted as incentive stock options (intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock, performance shares, stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards. Since 2014, nonqualified stock options and RSU awards have been the only stock-based awards granted under the Plan. As of December 31,2024, there were 3,329,266 shares available for future grants under the Enova LTIP.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received 225,582 shares of its common stock valued at approximately $12.6 million as partial payment of taxes required to be withheld upon issuance of shares under RSUs.
Restricted Stock Units
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted RSUs to Company officers, certain employees and to the non-management members of the Board of Directors under the Enova LTIP. Each vested RSU entitles the holder to receive a share of the common stock of the Company. For Company officers and certain employees, the shares are to be issued upon vesting of the RSUs generally on an annual basis over a period offour years. Shares for RSU awards granted to members of the Board of Directors vest and are issued twelve months after the grant date.
In accordance with ASC 718, the grant date fair value of RSUs is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the day before the grant date and is amortized to expense over the vesting periods. The agreements relating to awards provide that the vesting and payment of awards would be accelerated if there is a change in control of the Company.
The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity during 2024, 2023 and 2022:
| Year Ended December 31, · Year Ended December 31, · Year Ended December 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||
| Units | Weighted Average Fair Value at Date of Grant | Units | Weighted Average Fair Value at Date of Grant | Units | Weighted Average Fair Value at Date of Grant | |

| Units granted | 478,537 | 54.79 | 638,419 | 51.94 | 593,916 | 43.15 |
| Shares issued | (617,291) | 36.36 | (624,264) | 29.10 | (640,337) | 24.87 |
| Units forfeited | (99,245) | 49.75 | (64,925) | 41.71 | (158,481) | 32.74 |
| Outstanding at end of year | 1,251,810 | $48.34 | 1,489,809 | $41.40 | 1,540,579 | $32.06 |
Compensation expense related to these RSUs totaling $25.0 million ($18.8 million net of related taxes), $22.2 million ($16.6 million net of related taxes) and $17.8 million ($13.4 million net of related taxes) was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to these RSUs at December 31, 2024 was $39.6 million, which willbe recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years. The outstanding RSUs had an aggregate intrinsic value of $120.0 million at December 31,2024.
Stock Options
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted stock options to purchase Enova stock to Company officers and certain employees under the Enova LTIP. Stock options would allow the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price not less than the fair market value of the shares as of the grant date, or the exercise price.
Stock options granted under the Enova LTIP generally become exercisable in equal increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of their date of grant, and expire on the seventh anniversary of their date of grant. Exercise prices of these stock options are equal to the closing stock price on the day before the grant date. In accordance with ASC 718, compensation expense on stock options is based on the grant date fair value of the stock options and is amortized to expense over the vesting periods. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of the stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.1%, expected term (life) of options of 4.5 years, expected volatility of 55.9% andno expected dividends.
Determining the fair value of options awards at their respective grant dates requires considerable judgment, including estimating expected volatility and expected term (life). The Company based its expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company. The Company calculated its expected term based on the simplified method, which is the mid-point between the weighted-average graded-vesting term and the contractual term. The simplified method was chosen as a means to determine expected term as the Company has limited historical option exercise experience as a public company. The Company derived the risk-free rate from a weighted-average yield for the three-and five-year zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Strips. The Company estimates forfeitures at the grant date based on its historical forfeiture rate and revises the estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during 2024, 2023 and 2022:

The Company believes that the transactions described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.
- 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 its various securitization facilities. The Company transfers certain loan receivables to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiaries (“VIEs”), which issue notes backed by the underlying loan receivables and are serviced by other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The cash flows from the loans held by the VIEs are used to repay obligations under the notes.
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 returns related to servicing fee revenue from the VIEs and 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.

- Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the market observability of inputs used in its fair value measurements. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into one of three levels as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability measured.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there wereno transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, 2 or 3. It is the Company’s policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period values.
The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31,2024 and 2023 are as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, · Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||

(1)
Consumer loans and finance receivables and small business loans and finance receivables are included in “Loans and finance receivable at fair value” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(2)
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, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
(3)
Investment in trading security is included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan and finance receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed. The models use inputs, such as estimated losses, prepayments, servicing costs and discount rates, that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net loss rate, prepayment rate, servicing cost, or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company’s loans and finance receivables. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.
The fair value of the nonqualified savings plan assets was deemed Level 1 as they are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices of identical assets are readily observable.
The fair value of the investment in trading security was deemed Level 1 as it is a publicly traded fund with active market pricing that is readily available.
