NELNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
(unaudited)
- Basis of Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or "Nelnet") as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2025. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report").
- Partial Redemption of ALLO Investment
Nelnet had both voting and preferred membership interest investments in ALLO Holdings, LLC (referred to collectively with its subsidiary ALLO Communications LLC as "ALLO"). In June 2025, ALLO executed a financing transaction that resulted in gross proceeds to ALLO of $500 million (the “Financing”). In conjunction with the Financing, Nelnet, ALLO, and certain other ALLO investors entered into a Membership Unit Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) pursuant to which ALLO agreed to redeem certain of its membership interests from certain investors in ALLO, including Nelnet (the “Transaction”).
As part of the Transaction, ALLO redeemed all of Nelnet's outstanding preferred membership interests on June 4, 2025, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through the Transaction's closing date. In addition, ALLO redeemed a portion of Nelnet’s voting membership interest in ALLO.
Upon closing, Nelnet received cash proceeds of $410.9 million from ALLO for these redemptions and recognized a pre-tax gain of $175.0 million, which is included in "gain on partial redemption of ALLO investment" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.
Following the closing of the Transaction, Nelnet no longer owns any preferred membership interests in ALLO, but maintains a significant voting equity investment in ALLO. Nelnet’s ownership of voting membership interest in ALLO decreased from 45% to 27%. Nelnet will continue to account for its remaining 27% voting membership interest in ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of accounting, with the carrying value of such interest remaining at $0.
As part of the ALLO recapitalization transaction completed in December 2020, Nelnet and SDC (a third-party global digital infrastructure investor and member of ALLO) entered into an agreement in which Nelnet has a contingent obligation to pay SDC in the event Nelnet disposes of its voting membership interests in ALLO that it holds, and realizes from such disposition certain targeted return levels. Upon closing of the Transaction described above, Nelnet recalculated its contingent obligation to reflect the reduction in Nelnet's voting membership interests that are subject to the contingency. This resulted in a reduction in the estimated fair value of the contingent payment liability of $4.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, which is included in (and decreased) "other expenses" on the Company's consolidated statements of income. Based on Nelnet's remaining voting membership interests in ALLO, the maximum contingent obligation that Nelnet may owe SDC upon future disposals of Nelnet's voting membership interests in ALLO is $9 million (down from $35 million). The estimated fair value of the contingent payment as of June 30, 2025 is $3.4 million, which is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet.

| Non-Nelnet Bank: | ||
| Federally insured loans (a) | 0.57% | 0.59% |

Student Loan Trust Acquisitions
In March 2025, the Company acquired the ownership interests in certain trusts giving the Company rights to the residual interest. The trusts included $646.9 million (par value) of federally insured Stafford and consolidation loans funded to term with $721.3 million (par value) of bonds and notes payable, $32.2 million of cash and restricted cash, and $27.4 million of other net assets. The Company has consolidated these trusts on its consolidated balance sheet as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the trusts. Upon acquisition, the Company recorded the student loans and bonds and notes payable at fair value, resulting in the recognition of a student loan net discount of $6.6 million and a bonds and notes payable discount of $31.1 million. These net discounts will be accreted using the effective interest method over the lives of the underlying assets and liabilities.

(a) Once a loan is classified as held for sale, any allowance for loan losses that existed immediately prior to the reclassification to held for sale is reversed through provision. The following table presents the reduction to provision for loan losses as a result of the contribution of Non-Nelnet Bank private education loans to Nelnet Bank during the second quarter of 2025 and the consumer and other loan sales during 2024:
| Provision for current period | Reduction to provision | Provision(negative provision) for loan losses | |

The following table summarizes annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for each of the Company's loan portfolios:
| Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Non-Nelnet Bank: | ||||

| Private education loans | 0.55% | 2.64% | 1.02% | 1.85% |

| Nelnet Bank: | ||||
| Federally insured loans | 0.06% | — | 0.06% | — |
| Private education loans | 1.10% | 0.40% | 1.08% | 0.44% |
| Consumer and other loans (a) | 1.71% | 7.44% | 1.49% | 7.66% |
(a) Decrease in annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was due to a change in mix of consumer loan portfolios that resulted in a portfolio of loans with an overall higher credit quality in 2025 compared with 2024 and Nelnet Bank exiting a consumer loan program in December 2024 that had previously incurred significant charge-offs.
During the periods presented above, the primary item impacting provision for loan losses was the establishment of an initial allowance for loans originated and acquired during the periods. Provision for loan losses was also impacted by the reversal of provision for consumer and other loans sold in 2024. The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses for its federally insured loan portfolio in 2024 due to an increase in prepayment assumptions.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Nelnet Bank had a liability of approximately $416,000 and $326,000, respectively, related to $62.2 million and $40.7 million, respectively, of unfunded private education, consumer, and other loan commitments. When a new loan commitment is made, the Company records an allowance that is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet by recording a provision for loan losses. When the loan is funded, the Company transfers the liability to the allowance for loan losses. Below is a reconciliation of the provision for loan losses reported in the consolidated statements of income.
| Three months ended · Six months ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, | June 30, | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Provision for loan losses from allowance activity table above | $17,712 | 3,549 | 33,177 | 14,478 |
| Provision (negative provision) for unfunded loan commitments | 218 | 62 | 90 | (38) |
| Provision for loan losses reported in consolidated statements of income | $17,930 | 3,611 | 33,267 | 14,440 |
Key Credit Quality Indicators
Loan Status and Delinquencies
Key credit quality indicators for the Company’s federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loan portfolios are loan status, including delinquencies. The impact of changes in loan status is incorporated into the allowance for loan losses calculation. Delinquencies have the potential to adversely impact the Company’s earnings through increased servicing and collection costs and account charge-offs. Loans in repayment include loans on which borrowers are making interest only or fixed payments, as well as loans that have entered full principal and interest repayment status after any applicable grace period (but for purposes of the following tables, do not include those loans while they are in forbearance). The following table presents the Company’s loan status and delinquency amounts:

(a) Loans with no FICO score available or required refers to loans issued to borrowers for which the Company cannot obtain a FICO score or are not required to under a special purpose credit program. Management proactively assesses the risk and size of this loan category and, when necessary, takes actions to mitigate the credit risk.
Nonaccrual Status
The Company does not place federally insured loans on nonaccrual status due to the government guaranty. The amortized cost of private education, consumer, and other loans on nonaccrual status, as well as the allowance for loan losses related to such loans, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was not material.
Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year
The following table presents the amortized cost of the Company's private education, consumer, and other loans by loan status and delinquency amount as of June 30, 2025 based on year of origination. Effective July 1, 2010, no new loan originations can be made under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (the "FFEL Program" or FFELP) and all new federal loan originations must be made under the Federal Direct Loan Program. As such, all of the Company’s federally insured loans were originated prior to July 1, 2010.

The Company has repurchased certain of its own asset-backed securities (bonds and notes payable) in the secondary market. For accounting purposes, these notes are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, these securities remain legally outstanding at the trust level and the Company could sell these notes to third parties or redeem the notes at par as cash is generated by the trust estate. Upon a sale of these notes to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale. As of June 30, 2025, the Company holds $238.8 million (par value) of its own FFELP asset-backed securities.

Nelnet Bank Derivatives
Nelnet Bank uses non-centrally cleared derivative instruments to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows from variable rate intercompany and third-party deposits to minimize volatility from future changes in interest rates. Nelnet Bank has designated all of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; however, the derivatives that hedge intercompany deposits are not eligible for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Statement Impact Related to Derivatives
Balance Sheets
Unlike the Company's Non-Nelnet Bank derivatives, Nelnet Bank's derivatives are not cleared post-execution at a regulated clearinghouse. As such, the Company records these derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis as either an asset (included in "other assets") or liability (included in "other liabilities") measured at fair value. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's Nelnet Bank derivatives as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets:
| Fair value of asset derivatives | Fair value of liability derivatives | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As of June 30, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | As of June 30, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | |

(a) Represent investments held in third-party trusts as collateral for the Company’s reinsurance business.
(b) As sponsor of certain private education loan securitizations, the Company is required to provide a certain level of risk retention, and has purchased bonds issued in such securitizations to satisfy this requirement. The bonds purchased to satisfy the risk retention requirement are included in the above table. The Company must retain these investment securities until the latest of (i) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans in the securitization is 33% or less of the initial loan balance, and (ii) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the bonds is 33% or less of the aggregate initial outstanding principal balance of the bonds, at which time the Company can sell its investment securities (bonds) to a third party.
(c) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”). During the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in Hudl for $3.8 million from existing Hudl investors. This transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the transaction value. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl was $172.5 million. David S. Graff, who has served on the Company's Board of Directors since May 2014, is CEO, co-founder, and a director of Hudl.
(d) On June 4, 2025, the Company redeemed a portion of its voting membership interests in ALLO and all its outstanding preferred membership interests, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through June 3, 2025. See note 2 for additional information. The Company's voting membership interest in ALLO is accounted for using the HLBV method of accounting. Using the HLBV method of accounting, the Company recognized $10.7 million of losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024, reducing the carrying value of the voting membership interest investment to $0. Absent additional equity contributions with respect to ALLO's voting membership interest, the Company will not recognize additional losses for its voting membership interest in ALLO. The Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $6.0 million and $4.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $14.4 million and $6.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income statement activity from the Company's investment in ALLO is included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income.
(e) The Company has partial ownership in certain consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan securitizations, which are accounted for as held-to-maturity beneficial interest investments. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of June 30, 2025, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $1.00 billion, $420 million, and $280 million of consumer, private education, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. The Company recorded a $1.5 million and $5.0 million allowance for credit losses (and related provision expense) during the first and second quarters of 2025, respectively, on these investments. This expense is included in "impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests" on the consolidated statements of income.
(f) The Company invests in solar tax equity investments through investment partnerships. Due to the management and control of each of these investment partnerships, such partnerships that invest in tax equity investments are consolidated on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with the third-party co-investor’s portion being presented as noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has invested a total of $300.6 million and its third-party investors have invested $285.8 million in tax equity investments that remain outstanding in renewable energy solar partnerships that support the development and operations of solar projects. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in a solar project is reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed in service. As of June 30, 2025, the Company and its third-party co-investors have earned $334.2 million and $290.7 million, respectively, of tax credits on those projects that remain outstanding. The solar investment negative carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet of $200.8 million as of June 30, 2025 represents the sum of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed in service through June 30, 2025 and the calculated HLBV cumulative net losses being larger than the total investment contributions made by the Company and its syndication partners on such projects. The solar investment negative carrying value as of June 30, 2025, excluding the portion owned by syndication partners that is reflected as "noncontrolling interests" on the consolidated balance sheet, was $97.7 million.
The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company’s solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. The following table presents (i) the Company's recognized HLBV losses and gains recognized from sales of certain investments at the end of the contractual agreement (typically five years), which include losses and gains attributable to third-party noncontrolling interest investors (syndication partners), included in “other, net” in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income, (ii) solar net losses and gains attributed to noncontrolling interest investors included in “net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” on the consolidated statements of income, and (iii) the Company's recognized net gain excluding amounts attributed to noncontrolling interest investors (such amount reflecting the before tax net income impact of such solar tax equity investments to the Company):

- Major Customer
Government Loan Servicing
The Company earns loan servicing revenue from a servicing contract with the Department of Education (the "Department"). Revenue earned by the Company related to this contract was $85.7 million and $87.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $173.1 million and $192.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company's legacy student loan servicing contract with the Department was scheduled to expire on December 14, 2023. In April 2023, Nelnet Servicing received a contract award from the Department, pursuant to which it was selected to provide continued servicing capabilities for the Department's student aid recipients under a new Unified Servicing and Data Solution (USDS) contract which replaced the legacy Department student loan servicing contract.
The USDS contract became effective in April 2023 and has afive-year base period, with 2 two-year and 1 one-year possible extensions. The Department's total loan servicing volume of existing borrowers was allocated by the Department to the Company and four other third-party servicers that were awarded a USDS contract. Servicing under the USDS contract went live on April 1, 2024 and the Company recognized revenue in accordance with this new contract beginning in the second quarter of 2024. The Company earned revenue for servicing borrowers under the legacy servicing contract with the Department through March 31, 2024. The Company earns less revenue from the Department on a per-borrower blended basis under the new USDS servicing contract as compared with the legacy servicing contract.
