Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

PROG Holdings, Inc. ("we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "PROG Holdings") is a financial technology holding company that provides transparent and competitive payment options to consumers. PROG Holdings hastwo reportable segments: (i) Progressive Leasing, an in-store, app-based, and e-commerce point-of-sale lease-to-own solutions provider; and (ii) Vive Financial ("Vive"), an omnichannel provider of second-look revolving credit products.

Our Progressive Leasing segment provides consumers with lease-purchase solutions through its point-of-sale partner locations and e-commerce website partners in the United States and Puerto Rico (collectively, "POS partners"). It does so by purchasing merchandise from the POS partners desired by customers and, in turn, leasing that merchandise to the customers through a cancellable lease-to-own transaction. Progressive Leasing has no stores of its own, but rather offers lease-purchase solutions to the customers of traditional and e-commerce retailers.

Our Vive segment primarily serves customers that may not qualify for traditional prime lending offers who desire to purchase goods and services from participating merchants. Vive offers customized programs, with services that include revolving loans through private label and Vive-branded credit cards. Vive's current network of POS partner locations and e-commerce websites includes furniture, mattresses, home exercise equipment, and home improvement retailers, as well as medical and dental service providers.

PROG Holdings’ ecosystem of financial technology offerings also includes Four Technologies, Inc. ("Four"), a Buy Now, Pay Later ("BNPL") company that allows shoppers to pay for merchandise through four interest-free installments. Shoppers use Four to purchase clothing, health and beauty products, footwear, jewelry, and other consumer goods from retailers across the United States. Four is not a reportable segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 as its financial results are not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial results.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management does not believe these estimates or assumptions will change significantly in the future absent unidentified and unforeseen events, such as the possible direct or indirect impacts associated with elevated inflation, increasing unemployment rates, tariffs, and/or a recession in the United States.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report") filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PROG Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, each of which is wholly-owned. Intercompany balances and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report for an expanded discussion of accounting policies and estimates.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and awards issuable under the Company's employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") (collectively, "share-based awards") as determined under the treasury stock method. The following table shows the calculation of dilutive share-based awards:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
(Shares In Thousands)2025202420252024
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding40,13042,95540,48443,325
Dilutive Effect of Share-Based Awards429766719799
Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding40,55943,72141,20344,124

Approximately 779,000 and 547,000 weighted-average share-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as the awards would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Approximately 496,000 and 647,000 weighted-average share-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as the awards would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Lease Revenues and Fees

Progressive Leasing provides merchandise, consisting primarily of furniture, appliances, electronics, mobile phones and accessories, jewelry, mattresses, automobile electronics and accessories, and a variety of other products, to its customers for lease under terms agreed to by the customer. Progressive Leasing offers customers of traditional and e-commerce retailers a lease-purchase solution through leases with payment terms that can generally be renewed up to 12 months. Progressive Leasing does not require deposits upon inception of customer agreements. The customer has the right to acquire ownership either through early buyout options or through payment of all required lease payments. The agreements are cancellable at any time by either party without penalty.

All of Progressive Leasing's customer agreements are considered operating leases. The Company maintains ownership of the lease merchandise until all payment obligations are satisfied under the lease ownership agreements. Initial lease payments made by the customer upon lease execution are recognized as deferred revenue and are amortized as lease revenue over the estimated lease term on a straight-line basis. Initial lease payments and other payments collected in advance of being due or earned are recognized as deferred revenue within customer deposits and advance payments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other customer lease billings are earned prior to the lease payment due date and are recorded net of related sales taxes as earned. Payment due date terms include weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly and monthly frequencies. Revenue recorded prior to the payment due date results in unbilled receivables recognized in accounts receivable, net of allowances, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease revenues are recorded net of a provision for uncollectible renewal payments.

Initial direct costs related to lease purchase agreements are capitalized as incurred and amortized as operating expense over the estimated lease term. The capitalized costs have been classified within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest and Fees on Loans Receivable

Interest and fees on loans receivable is primarily generated from our Vive segment, Four and, to a lesser extent, from our other strategic businesses. Vive extends or declines credit to an applicant through its bank partners based upon the applicant's credit rating and other factors. Qualifying applicants are approved for a specified maximum revolving credit card line to finance their initial purchase and to use in subsequent purchases at the merchant or other participating merchants for an initial 24-month period, which Vive may renew if the cardholder remains in good standing.

Vive acquires the loan receivable from its third-party bank partners at a discount from the face value of the loan. The discount is comprised of a merchant fee discount and a promotional fee discount, if applicable.

The merchant fee discount represents a pre-negotiated, nonrefundable discount that generally ranges from 3% to 30% of the loan face value. The discount is designed to cover the risk of loss related to the portfolio of cardholder charges and Vive's direct origination costs. The merchant fee discount and origination costs are presented net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in loans receivable. Cardholders generally have an initial 24-month period that the card is active. The merchant fee discount, net of the origination costs, is amortized on a net basis and is recorded as interest and fees on loans receivable in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings on a straight-line basis over the initial 24-month period. If the loan receivable is paid off or charged off during the 24-month period, the remaining net merchant fee discount is recognized as interest and fees on loans receivable at that time.

The discount from the face value of the loan on the acquisition of the loan receivable from the merchant through the third-party bank partners may also include a promotional fee discount, which generally ranges from 1% to 8%. The promotional fee discount is intended to compensate the holder of the loan receivable (i.e., Vive) for deferred or reduced interest rates that are offered to the cardholder for a specified period on the outstanding loan balance (generally forsix,12 or 18 months). The promotional fee discount is amortized as interest and fees on loans receivable in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings on a straight-line basis over the promotional interest period (i.e., oversix,12 or 18 months, depending on the promotion). If the loan receivable is paid off or charged off prior to the expiration of the promotional period, the remaining promotional fee discount is recognized as interest and fees on loans receivable at that time. The unamortized promotional fee discount is presented net within loans receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The customer is typically required to make monthly minimum payments of at least 3.5% of the outstanding loan balance, which includes outstanding interest. Fixed and variable interest rates, typically 27% to 35.99%, are compounded daily for cards that do not qualify for deferred or reduced interest promotional periods. Interest income, which is recognized based upon the amount of the loans outstanding, is recognized as interest and fees on loans receivable when earned if collectibility is reasonably assured. For credit cards that provide deferred interest, if the balance is not paid off during the promotional period or if the cardholder defaults, interest is billed to the customers at standard rates and the cumulative amount owed is charged to the cardholder account in the month that the promotional period expires. The Company recognizes interest revenue during the promotional period based on its historical experience related to cardholders that fail to pay off balances during the promotional period if collectibility is reasonably assured.

Annual fees are charged to cardholders at the commencement of the loan and on each subsequent anniversary date. Annual fees are deferred and recognized into revenue on a straight-line basis over a one-year period. Under the provisions of the credit card agreements, Vive also may assess fees for missed or late payments, which are recognized as revenue in the billing period in which they are assessed if collectibility is reasonably assured. Annual fees and other fees are recognized as interest and fees on loans receivable in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables due from customers of Progressive Leasing and amounted to $60.5 million and $80.2 million, net of allowances, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company maintains an accounts receivable allowance, which primarily relates to its Progressive Leasing operations. The Company’s policy is to record an allowance for uncollectible renewal payments based on historical collection experience. Other qualitative factors, such as current and forecasted business trends, are considered in estimating the allowance. Given the significant uncertainty regarding the impacts of inflation, elevated interest rates, unemployment rates, and/or tariffs on our business, a level of estimation was involved in determining the allowance. Therefore, actual future accounts receivable write-offs may differ materially from the allowance. The provision for uncollectible renewal payments is recorded as a reduction of lease revenues and fees within the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For customer lease agreements that are past due, the Company's policy is to write off lease receivables after 120 days.

The following table shows the components of the accounts receivable allowance:

Accounts Receivable Provision82,27777,382166,873151,738
Ending Balance$68,788$64,682$68,788$64,682

Lease Merchandise

Progressive Leasing's merchandise consists primarily of furniture, appliances, electronics, mobile phones and accessories, jewelry, mattresses, automobile electronics and accessories, and a variety of other products, and is recorded at the lower of depreciated cost or net realizable value. Progressive Leasing depreciates lease merchandise to a $0 salvage value generally over 12 months. Depreciation is accelerated upon early buyout. All of Progressive Leasing's merchandise, net of accumulated depreciation and allowances, represents on-lease merchandise.

The Company records a provision for write-offs using the allowance method. The allowance method for lease merchandise write-offs estimates the merchandise losses incurred but not yet identified by management as of the end of the accounting period based on historical write-off experience. Other qualitative factors, such as current and forecasted customer payment trends, are considered in estimating the allowance. Given the significant uncertainty regarding the impacts of inflation, elevated interest rates, unemployment rates, and/or tariffs on our business, a level of estimation was involved in determining the allowance as of June 30, 2025. Actual lease merchandise write-offs may differ materially from the allowance as of June 30, 2025. For customer lease agreements that are past due, the Company's policy is to write off lease merchandise after 120 days.

The following table shows the components of the allowance for lease merchandise write-offs, which is included within lease merchandise, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Vendor Incentives and Rebates Provided to POS Partners

Progressive Leasing has agreements with some of its POS partners that require additional consideration to be paid to the POS partner, including payments for exclusivity, rebates based on lease volume originations generated through the POS partners, and payments to the POS partners for marketing or other development initiatives to promote additional lease originations through these POS partners. Payments made to POS partners as consideration for them providing exclusivity to Progressive Leasing for lease-to-own transactions with customers of the POS partner are expensed on a straight-line basis over the exclusivity term. Rebates are accrued over the period the POS partner is earning the rebate, which is typically based on quarterly or annual lease origination volumes. Payments made to POS partners for marketing or development initiatives are expensed on a straight-line basis over the period the POS partner is earning the funds or the specified marketing term. Progressive Leasing expensed $8.0 million and $17.1 million for such additional consideration to POS partners during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $7.9 million and $16.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Expenses related to additional consideration provided to POS partners are classified within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Loans Receivable, Net

Gross loans receivable primarily represents the principal balances of credit card charges at Vive's participating merchants that remain due from cardholders, plus unpaid interest and fees due from cardholders. The allowance and unamortized fees represent uncollectible amounts; merchant fee discounts, net of capitalized origination costs; promotional fee discounts; and deferred annual card fees. Loans receivable, net, also includes $32.0 million and $34.9 million of outstanding receivables from customers of Four as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Economic conditions and loan performance trends are closely monitored to manage and evaluate exposure to credit risk. Trends in delinquency rates are an indicator of credit risk within the loans receivable portfolio, including the migration of loans between delinquency categories over time. Charge-off rates represent another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. The risk in the loans receivable portfolio is correlated with broad economic trends, such as current and projected unemployment rates, stock market volatility, and changes in medium and long-term risk-free rates, which are considered in determining the allowance for loan losses and can have a material effect on credit performance.

Expected lifetime losses on loans receivable are recognized upon loan acquisition, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of probable lifetime losses at the time of acquisition. Vive's credit card loans do not have contractually stated maturity dates, which requires the Company to estimate an average life of loan by analyzing historical payment trends to determine an expected remaining life of the loan balance. Vive segments its loans receivable portfolio into homogenous pools by Fair Isaac and Company ("FICO") score and by delinquency status and evaluates loans receivable collectively for impairment when similar risk characteristics exist.

The Company calculates Vive's allowance for loan losses based on internal historical loss information and incorporates observable and forecasted macroeconomic data over a six-month reasonable and supportable forecast period. Incorporating macroeconomic data could have a material impact on the measurement of the allowance to the extent that forecasted data changes significantly, such as higher forecasted inflation and unemployment rates. Subsequent to the six-month reasonable and supportable forecast period described above, the Company reverts to using historical loss information on a straight-line basis over a three-month period. The Company may also consider other qualitative factors in estimating the allowance, as necessary. For the purposes of determining the allowance as of June 30, 2025, management considered qualitative factors such as the macroeconomic conditions associated with the impacts of the economic uncertainty resulting from inflation, unemployment rates, and tariffs. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate to cover expected future losses of outstanding principal, interest and fees associated with the loans receivable portfolio. The appropriateness of the allowance is evaluated at each period end. To the extent that actual results differ from estimates of uncollectible loans receivable, the Company's results of operations and liquidity may be materially affected.

Vive's delinquent loans receivable includes those that are 30 days or more past due based on their contractual billing dates. Vive's loans receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when they are greater than 90 days past due or upon notification of cardholder bankruptcy, death or fraud. The Company discontinues accruing interest and fees and amortizing merchant fee discounts and promotional fee discounts for Vive's loans receivable in nonaccrual status. Loans receivable are removed from nonaccrual status when cardholder payments resume, the loan becomes 90 days or less past due and collection of the remaining amounts outstanding is deemed probable. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are allocated according to the same payment hierarchy methodology applied to loans that are accruing interest. Loans receivable are charged off no later than the end of the following month after the billing cycle in which the loans receivable become 120 days past due.

Vive extends or declines credit to an applicant through its bank partners based primarily upon the applicant's credit rating and other factors. Four extends or declines credit on an individual transaction basis using its proprietary decisioning platform, without using customer credit ratings. Four instead uses an internal model that utilizes factors such as banking data and user history to generate internal proprietary risk scores. Four's credit risk exposure is limited by smaller transaction values and a short loan duration.

Debt

On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a consortium of lenders providing for a $350.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). Under the credit agreement, as amended, all borrowings and commitments will mature or terminate on November 15, 2029. The Company uses the Revolving Facility when necessary to provide for working capital and capital expenditures, to finance future permitted acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. The Company incurred a total of $5.0 million of lender and legal fees related to the Revolving Facility and amendments thereto, which were recorded within prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be deferred and amortized through the maturity date. The Company had $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2024, which was subsequently repaid in full in January 2025. The Company hadno outstanding borrowings and $350.0 million total available credit under the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2025.

On November 26, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture in connection with an offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued at 100% of their par value. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, which commenced on May 15, 2022. The Senior Notes will mature on November 15, 2029. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from the Senior Notes were used to fund the purchase price, and related fees and expenses, of the Company’s tender offer to purchase $425 million of the Company’s common stock in 2022. The remaining proceeds were used for additional share repurchases in 2023.

At June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its outstanding debt. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report for further information regarding the Company's indebtedness.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions. Progressive Leasing and Four are the only reporting units with goodwill. Impairment occurs when the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. The Company’s goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test at the reporting unit level annually as of October 1 and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Factors which could necessitate an interim impairment assessment include a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price, prolonged negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historical results, projected future operating results, or the Company failing to successfully execute on one or more elements of Progressive Leasing and/or Four's strategic plans.

The Company determined that there were no events or circumstances that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of Progressive Leasing or Four below their carrying amounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 525,270 restricted stock units and 279,301 performance share units to certain employees, which vest overone tothree-year periods for certain units or upon the achievement of specified performance conditions for other units. The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock and performance share awards was $29.00, which was based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant. The Company also issued 137,189 performance share units which may be earned after athree-year vesting period by achieving specified levels of total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company’s common stock relative to the TSR of the S&P 600 Small Cap Index. The fair value of the TSR performance share units was $34.14, which was based on a grant date value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company will recognize the grant date fair value of the restricted stock units and TSR performance share units as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period determined in accordance with the terms of the grant agreement. The Company will recognize the grant date fair value of the performance units as stock-based compensation expense over the estimated vesting period based on the Company's projected assessment of the performance conditions that are probable of being achieved in accordance with ASC 718, Stock-based Compensation.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The Company measures a liability related to its non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which represents benefits accrued for plan participants and is valued at the quoted market prices of the participants' investment election, at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company maintains certain financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed.

The fair values of the Company's other current financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reporting Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires expanded disclosures, including the disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items required to reconcile the difference between segment revenue and segment expenses to segment profit or loss on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 also requires disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker, and is required to be applied retrospectively. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and included additional disclosures as required in the 2024 Annual Report and Note 6 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,"Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures."The amended guidance will improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and the disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, along with other disclosure requirements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, and will include the additional disclosures as required in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,"Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires more detailed disclosures of certain categories of expenses, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization that are components of existing expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(In Thousands)June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Level 1Level 2Level 3Level 1Level 2Level 3
Deferred Compensation Liability$—$3,353$—$—$2,971$—

The Company maintains the PROG Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, which is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management, highly compensated employees and non-employee directors. The liability is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability represents benefits accrued for plan participants and is valued at the quoted market prices of the participants’ investment elections, which consist of equity and debt "mirror" funds. As such, the Company has classified the deferred compensation liability as a Level 2 liability.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value for Which Fair Value is Disclosed

Vive's loans receivable are measured at amortized cost, net of an allowance for loan losses and unamortized fees in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In estimating fair value for Vive's loans receivable, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow methodology. The Company used various unobservable inputs reflecting its own assumptions, such as contractual future principal and interest cash flows, future loss rates, and discount rates (which consider current interest rates and are adjusted for credit risk, among other factors).

Four's loans receivable, net of an allowance for loan losses and unamortized fees, are included within loans receivable, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and approximated fair value based on a discounted cash flow methodology.

On November 26, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture in connection with its offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due in 2029. The Senior Notes are carried at amortized cost in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices in less active markets and has been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt and the loans receivable held by Vive and Four:

1 Loans Receivable, Net of Allowances and Unamortized Fees attributable to Four was $32.0 million and $34.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Vive extends or declines credit to an applicant through its bank partners based primarily upon the applicant's credit rating and other factors. Four extends or declines credit on an individual transaction basis using its proprietary decisioning platform, without using customer credit ratings. Four instead uses an internal model that utilizes factors such as banking data and user history to generate internal proprietary risk scores. Four groups its internal risk scores into three categories that range from A to C, with an A rating representing the highest credit quality. Below is a summary of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 by FICO score and proprietary risk category, as determined at the time of loan origination:

NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

Some of the proceedings to which the Company is currently a party are described below. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all of the claims described below, and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. However, these proceedings are still developing and due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation, regulatory and similar adversarial proceedings, there can be no guarantee that the Company will ultimately be successful in these proceedings, or in others to which it is currently a party. Substantial losses from these proceedings or the costs of defending them could have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal and regulatory proceedings when it determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company continually monitors its litigation and regulatory exposure and reviews the adequacy of its legal and regulatory reserves on a quarterly basis. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $3.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for pending legal and regulatory matters for which it believes losses are probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company records its best estimate of the loss to legal and regulatory liabilities in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss in excess of accrued liabilities for such probable loss contingencies is immaterial. Those matters for which a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated are not included within the estimated ranges. At June 30, 2025, the Company had a $3.3 million receivable for a legal settlement that will be paid by the Company's cybersecurity insurance, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At June 30, 2025, the Company estimated that the aggregate range of loss for all material pending legal and regulatory proceedings for which a loss is reasonably possible, but less likely than probable (i.e., excluding the contingencies described in the preceding paragraph), is immaterial. Those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within estimated ranges and, therefore, the estimated ranges do not represent the Company's maximum loss exposure. The Company’s estimates for legal and regulatory accruals, aggregate probable loss amounts and reasonably possible loss amounts are all subject to the uncertainties and variables described above.

Regulatory Inquiries

In April 2020, Progressive Leasing entered into a settlement (the "FTC Settlement") with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") to resolve allegations by the FTC that certain of Progressive Leasing’s advertising and marketing practices violated the FTC Act. Progressive Leasing did not admit any violations of the FTC Act or any other laws in connection with the FTC Settlement. Under the terms of the FTC Settlement, Progressive Leasing paid $175 million to the FTC and agreed to enhance certain of its compliance-related activities, including augmenting disclosures to its customers and expanding its POS partner monitoring programs. Progressive Leasing further agreed to submit compliance reports or produce other requested documents and information to the FTC upon written request by the FTC.

During the third quarter of 2024, Progressive Leasing received a written request from the FTC to evidence Progressive Leasing’s compliance with the FTC Settlement by providing the FTC with information and documents, including those related to customer complaints and advertising and marketing materials. The FTC’s request is not a civil investigative demand. The Company is fully cooperating with the FTC in responding to the FTC’s request for information and documents.

Litigation Matters

During the third quarter of 2023, Progressive Leasing experienced a cybersecurity incident affecting certain data and IT systems of Progressive Leasing. Promptly after detecting the incident, the Company engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and took immediate steps to respond to, remediate and investigate the incident. Law enforcement was also notified. Based on the Company's investigation, the Company determined that the data involved in the incident contained a substantial amount of personally identifiable information, including social security numbers, of Progressive Leasing's customers and other individuals. With the assistance of its cybersecurity experts, the Company located the Progressive Leasing customers and other individuals whose information was impacted and notified them, consistent with state and federal requirements. The Company also took a number of additional measures to demonstrate its continued support and commitment to data privacy and protection.

As a result of the cybersecurity incident, Progressive Leasing was named a defendant in multiple lawsuits which alleged, among other things, various damages arising out of the incident. All of those lawsuits were consolidated into a single action in the United States District Court for the District of Utah (the "District Court"). On June 30, 2025, the parties reached an agreement, subject to District Court approval, to resolve all of the alleged claims in the litigation in exchange for a settlement payment of $3.3 million, the full amount of which will be paid by the Company's cybersecurity insurance upon the District Court's final approval of the settlement. The settlement amount is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, along with a corresponding insurance recovery receivable included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Contingencies

Management regularly assesses the Company’s insurance deductibles, monitors the Company's litigation and regulatory exposure with the Company's attorneys and evaluates its loss experience. The Company also enters into various contracts in the normal course of business that may subject it to risk of financial loss if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company, through its Vive segment, had unconditionally cancellable unfunded lending commitments totaling $460.2 million and $461.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, that do not give rise to revenues and cash flows. These unfunded commitments arise in the ordinary course of business from credit card agreements with individual cardholders that give them the ability to borrow, against unused amounts, up to the maximum credit limit assigned to their account. While these unfunded amounts represent the total available unused lines of credit, the Company does not anticipate that all cardholders will utilize their entire available line at any given point in time. Commitments to extend unsecured credit are agreements to lend to a cardholder so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

NOTE 5. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

During 2022, the Company initiated restructuring activities intended to reduce expenses, consolidate certain segment corporate headquarters, and align the cost structure of the business with the Company's near-term revenue outlook. The Company has incurred aggregate expenses of $44.2 million since the inception of the restructuring activities in 2022. These costs were primarily comprised of early contract termination costs related to certain independent sales agreements and a third party service and marketing agreement, employee severance within Progressive Leasing, and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset impairment charges related to the relocation of the Vive corporate headquarters to the Company's corporate office building and a reduction of management and information technology space. The Company will continue to monitor the impacts of changes in macroeconomic conditions on its businesses and may take additional steps to further adjust the Company's cost structure based on unfavorable changes in these conditions, which may result in further restructuring charges in future periods.

The Company had no new restructuring activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The following tables summarize restructuring charges recorded within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024:

NOTE 6. SEGMENTS

As of June 30, 2025, the Company hastwo reportable segments: Progressive Leasing and Vive.

Progressive Leasing partners with traditional and e-commerce retailers, primarily in the consumer residential electronics, furniture and appliance, mobile phones and accessories, jewelry, mattresses, and automobile electronics and accessories industries to offer a lease-purchase solution primarily for customers who may not have access to traditional credit-based financing options. It does so by offering leases with monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly and weekly payment frequencies.

Vive offers a variety of second-look financing programs originated through third-party federally insured banks to customers of participating merchants and, together with Progressive Leasing, allows the Company to provide POS partners with near-prime and below-prime customers one source for financing and leasing transactions.

Four is a BNPL company that allows shoppers to pay for merchandise through four interest-free installments. Four is not a reportable segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 as its financial results are not significant to the Company's consolidated financial results. The revenues, earnings (loss) before income taxes, and assets of Four are included within Other, along with the Company's other strategic initiatives.

Factors Used by Management to Identify the Reportable Segments

The Company's reportable segments are based on the operations of the Company that the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources among business units of the Company. The Company's CODM is its President and CEO.

Segment Assets and Segment Profit or Loss

The CODM evaluates operating segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on segment revenues and earnings (loss) before income tax expense. The Company determines earnings (loss) before income tax expense for all reportable segments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The CODM uses this information to evaluate the profitability of the Company's reportable segments and make decisions on future business plans.

The Company incurred various corporate overhead expenses for certain executive management, legal, human resources, finance, facilities, audit, risk management, technology, and other overhead functions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Corporate overhead expenses incurred are primarily reflected as expenses of the Progressive Leasing segment and an immaterial amount was allocated to the Vive segment and Other. The allocation of corporate overhead costs to Progressive Leasing, Vive and Other was consistent with how the CODM analyzed performance and allocated resources among the segments of the Company.

The following is a summary of total assets by segment:

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025. ASC 740, "Income Taxes," requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. We expect these legislative changes will result in a reduction in our cash paid for taxes due to the 100% bonus depreciation for tax purposes on acquired leased merchandise.
