Current report

Progressive Leasing entered 2026 with a smaller lease portfolio, as measured by its gross leased asset balance, compared to 2025, which resulted in a decrease in lease revenues when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased from the prior-year periods, driven primarily by a lower rate of early purchase option activity. Macroeconomic conditions contributed to fewer customers exercising early purchase options and more customers making payments over the full lease term, which generally results in greater margin realization.

Current report

•Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased to $50.8 million compared to $51.2 million in the same period in 2025, primarily due to a $6.1 million decline in earnings at Progressive Leasing. The decrease at Progressive Leasing was driven by a $4.8 million charge related to the settlement of the litigation discussed in Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, higher personnel costs, higher net interest expense, and an increase in provision for lease merchandise write-offs. These impacts were partially offset by a $4.7 million gain on sale of lease receivables and higher earnings at Four and our Other operations.

Current report

Progressive Leasing results of operations – Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Current report

–Personnel costs increased by$2.3 million due to an increase in incentive compensation expense when compared to 2025; and

Current report

–Stock-based compensation increased$1.7 million, primarily due to (i) a higher aggregated fair value of restricted stock units granted during 2026 and (ii) higher expense recognized on performance stock units due to increased expected award achievement levels compared to the prior-year period.

Current report

The increase in other expenses was attributable to Progressive Leasing incurring a one-time $4.8 million expense to settle a legal dispute during the three months ended June 30, 2026, with no comparable expense during the same period in the prior year. This increase was offset by lower intangible amortization expense resulting from a significant intangible asset becoming fully amortized in April 2026.

Current report

Four results of operations – Three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Current report

Current report

Four results of operations – Six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Current report

Current report

Provision for credit losses increased due to the growth in new BNPL transactions. The increase in the provision for credit losses is consistent with the increase in GMV for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Current report

Other operations incurred$1.4 million of losses before income tax expense for thethree months ended June 30, 2026, which is primarily related to losses associated with our other strategic operations.

Current report

Income tax expense decreased to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $13.6 million in the prior year comparable period. The effective income tax rate was 26.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2025 and was generally consistent with the prior year period.

Current report

•Lease merchandise, net of accumulated depreciation and allowances, decreased $77.9 million, reflecting the seasonal nature of the lease-to-own business. Lease merchandise balances typically peak during the fourth quarter due to higher holiday-season originations and subsequently decline in the first half of the year as leased merchandise depreciates and existing agreements mature.

Current report

Cash provided by operating activities decreased modestly to $277.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $279.8 million in the prior year, a decline of approximately $1.8 million. Higher cash interest payments, increased net investments in lease merchandise, and lower earnings were largely offset by a favorable change in cash paid for income taxes of $60.7 million, reflecting income tax refunds received during the current period compared to net tax payments in the prior year period. Other changes in cash provided by operating activities are discussed above in our discussion of results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Removed paragraphs (7)

Previous report

•Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased to $47.6 million compared to $47.3 million in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased earnings at Four and Progressive Leasing, partially offset by higher interest expense and transaction expenses relating to the acquisition of Purchasing Power during the quarter.

Previous report

Provision for credit losses increased resulting from the growth in new BNPL transactions. Provision for credit losses as a percentage of revenue decreased resulting from improved decisioning and growth in subscription revenues.

Previous report

•Lease merchandise, net of accumulated depreciation and allowances, decreased $77.7 million during the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower Progressive Leasing GMV which reduced lease originations and the related lease merchandise balance.

Previous report

Cash provided by operating activities was $171.7 million and $209.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $38.2 million decrease in operating cash flows was driven by changes in working capital, primarily a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which reflects the timing of payments. This was partially offset by improved collections of accounts receivable, which reduced the use of cash compared to the prior year. Other changes in cash provided by operating activities are discussed above in our discussion of results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Previous wording

We believe the increased cost of living and recent rise in fuel costs has continued to have a disproportionate negative effect on our customers' disposable income, negatively affecting demand for many products offered by our businesses, as well as in customer payment performance. We believe the significant increase in inflation resulting from the war in Iran and related geopolitical disruption has further pressured our customers' budgets and unfavorably impacted consumer confidence within our customer base, resulting in a decrease in demand for the types of larger-ticket, durable consumer goods offered by many of our retail partners and by our Purchasing Power business.

Progressive Leasing entered 2026 with a smaller lease portfolio, as measured by its gross leased asset balance, compared to 2025, which resulted in a decrease in lease revenues when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The Company continues to operate in a challenging macroeconomic environment due to the factors described above. In addition, American Signature, Inc., one of Progressive Leasing's POS partners, filed for bankruptcy in November 2025, which will result in the permanent closure of many of its stores in 2026, which has had and will continue to have an unfavorable impact on Progressive Leasing's GMV, revenue, and earnings from continuing operations before income tax in 2026.

Current wording

The Company continues to operate in a challenging macroeconomic environment due to the factors described above. In addition, American Signature, Inc., one of Progressive Leasing's POS partners, filed for bankruptcy in November 2025, which will result in the permanent closure of many of its stores in 2026. Those closures have had and will continue to have an unfavorable impact on Progressive Leasing's GMV, revenue, and earnings from continuing operations before income tax in 2026.

Previous wording

Customer payment delinquencies were elevated at the end of 2024 and during the first quarter of 2025, which prompted us to tighten our decisioning posture to maintain a healthy lease portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. That tighter decisioning posture remained in place during the full first quarter of 2026. While that action benefited our lease portfolio performance and helped us achieve a provision for lease merchandise write-offs of 7.3% of lease revenues in the first quarter of 2026, it also had an unfavorable impact on Progressive Leasing's GMV during the periods subsequent to the change.

Current wording

Customer payment delinquencies were elevated at the end of 2024 and during the first quarter of 2025, which prompted us to tighten our decisioning posture to maintain a healthy lease portfolio. While this action benefited our lease portfolio performance, it also negatively impacted Progressive Leasing's GMV during the periods subsequent to the change. In addition, elevated delinquencies in the second quarter of 2026 contributed to a provision for lease merchandise write-offs as a percentage of Progressive Leasing revenue of 8.4% compared to 7.5% in the prior year period. As a result, Progressive Leasing recently further tightened its decisioning posture, which is expected to continue to pressure GMV in future periods while supporting portfolio performance. Despite these trends, customer payment activity remained within expected ranges, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the prior year.

Previous wording

We believe customer demand for the larger-ticket products and services sold by Purchasing Power also has been adversely impacted by the macroeconomic headwinds affecting Progressive Leasing's performance. However, we expect that Purchasing Power's recent focus on improving eligible employee-customer penetration, and its addition of several new employer-clients, will help offset the impacts of such decreases in demand.

Current wording

We believe customer demand for the larger-ticket products and services sold by Purchasing Power also has been adversely impacted by the macroeconomic headwinds affecting Progressive Leasing's performance. However, we expect that Purchasing Power's recent focus on improving eligible employee-customer penetration, continuing to create new, attractive merchandising choices for its customers, and its addition of several new employer-clients, will help offset the impacts of such decreases in demand.

Previous wording

While customer payment delinquencies and write-offs for Purchasing Power are generally lower than those of Progressive Leasing due to Purchasing Power's payroll deduction and allotment repayment model, the recent federal government workforce disruptions, including DOGE workforce reductions and multiple government shutdowns, have resulted in elevated delinquencies and write-offs with Purchasing Power's current and former federal government employee-customers. We continue to monitor these conditions, as well as any potential additional layoffs impacting Purchasing Power's customers, as prolonged fiscal uncertainty at the federal government level or such layoffs could pose additional risk to Purchasing Power's receivables performance.

Current wording

While customer payment delinquencies and write-offs for Purchasing Power are generally lower than those of Progressive Leasing due to Purchasing Power's payroll deduction and allotment repayment model, delinquencies on non-federal employee receivables were elevated in the second quarter of 2026, which resulted in a higher than estimated provision for credit losses. Delinquencies for federal government employee receivables have improved compared to the elevated delinquencies experienced in 2025 resulting from various workforce disruptions, including DOGE workforce reductions and multiple government shutdowns. We continue to monitor these conditions, as well as increased turnover (both voluntary and involuntary) at Purchasing Power's clients, as prolonged uncertainty could pose additional risk to Purchasing Power's receivables performance.

Previous wording

•We reported consolidated revenues of $742.7 million, which was an 11.1% increase compared to the $668.4 million we reported for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in consolidated revenues was primarily due to the $107.1 million of total revenues contributed by Purchasing Power, which we acquired on January 2, 2026. Additionally, revenues at Four increased by $20.5 million due to continued growth in BNPL transactions at Four. These increases were offset by a $54.7 million decrease in revenue at Progressive Leasing, which was driven primarily by a smaller gross leased asset balance throughout the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Current wording

•We reported consolidated revenues of $719.7 million, which was a 22.3% increase compared to the $588.5 million we reported for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in consolidated revenues was primarily due to the $130.4 million of revenues contributed by Purchasing Power, which we acquired on January 2, 2026. Additionally, revenues at Four increased by $19.0 million, compared to the prior year period, due to continued growth in its BNPL transactions. These increases were offset by a $19.8 million decrease in revenue at Progressive Leasing, which was driven primarily by a smaller gross leased asset balance throughout the second quarter of 2026 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Previous wording

•GMV from Four increased by $160.1 million, due to an increase in Four loan originations in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, as a result of the continued growth in that business. GMV decreased by $9.0 million for Progressive Leasing in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in GMV for Progressive Leasing was due to several factors, including the tightening of our decisioning posture, which was reflected for the full first quarter in 2026 compared to only a portion of the first quarter in 2025. We believe the reduction in GMV was also driven by inflationary pressures, elevated cost of living and fuel costs, and an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, all of which have negatively impacted consumer confidence and demand for our lease-to-own offering. GMV relating to Purchasing Power was included for the first time, as the acquisition was completed on January 2, 2026.

Current wording

•GMV from Four increased by $165.5 million, due to an increase in Four loan originations in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, as a result of the continued growth in that business. GMV increased by $14.2 million for Progressive Leasing in the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in GMV for Progressive Leasing was due primarily to $23.0 million in GMV growth from e-commerce channels. This increase was offset by a reduction in GMV due to the higher cost of living experienced by our customer base, including increased fuel prices, and an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, all of which have negatively impacted consumer confidence and demand for our lease-to-own offering. GMV relating to Purchasing Power was $158.8 million and no GMV was reported in the prior year period, as the acquisition was completed on January 2, 2026.

Previous wording

Progressive Leasing's GMV decreased compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to a lower gross leased asset balance resulting from tightened decisioning in 2025 and retail partner bankruptcies. We believe the reduction in GMV was also driven by inflationary pressures, an elevated cost of living, and an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, all of which have negatively impacted consumer confidence and demand for our lease-to-own offering. E-commerce channels generated 25.7% of Progressive Leasing's GMV in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 16.8% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in Four's GMV is primarily attributable to the continued expansion of the Four BNPL platform, reflecting growth and higher transaction volumes from existing and new customers over the period.

Current wording

Progressive Leasing's GMV increased compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to increases in GMV from e-commerce channels. E-commerce channels generated 25.6% of Progressive Leasing's GMV in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 20.9% in the second quarter of 2025. This increase was offset by a reduction in GMV driven by inflationary pressures, an elevated cost of living, and an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, all of which have negatively impacted consumer confidence and demand for our lease-to-own offering. The increase in Four's GMV is primarily attributable to the continued expansion of the Four BNPL platform, reflecting growth through higher transaction volumes and average order value from existing and new customers over the period.

Previous wording

The number of active customers for Progressive Leasing decreased due to the tightening of our decisioning posture, and a decrease in consumer demand for many of the durable leasable goods offered by our retail partners, due to the continued elevated costs of living and inflationary pressures facing our customers. The increase in the number of customers for Four was the result of continued growth in BNPL transactions, which have a significantly smaller transaction size, as compared to our Progressive Leasing business.

Revenues. We separate our total revenues into three components: (i) lease revenues and fees, (ii) product and service revenues and (iii) other revenues. Lease revenues and fees include all revenues derived from lease agreements from our Progressive Leasing segment. Lease revenues are recorded net of a provision for uncollectible renewal payments. Product and service revenues represent Purchasing Power's sales of products and the commission earned relating to arranging for services, net of estimated returns. Other revenues represents transaction income, subscription revenues, and annual and other fees earned relating to loans in our Four segment and our other strategic businesses, as well as imputed interest income recognized on a portion of Purchasing Power's receivables portfolio.

Provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses reflects the expected lifetime credit losses on Purchasing Power's, Four's and other strategic operations receivables, determined using the CECL framework and incorporating historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Previous wording

The decrease in leasing revenues was primarily due to a lower gross leased asset balance as a result of the tightening of our decisioning posture during 2025, and a decrease in demand for the durable leasable products offered by many of our retail partners. We believe the inflationary and other macroeconomic factors had a disproportionate negative effect on our customers' disposable income, negatively affecting demand for many products offered by our retail partners.

Gross margin is a key performance measure for our Progressive Leasing segment, which generates lease revenue from transactions that include associated depreciation of the merchandise on lease, making gross margin a meaningful indicator of profit. The increase in Progressive Leasing's gross margin percentage reflects a decline in customers' electing early purchase options, as macroeconomic conditions contributed to customers choosing to extend lease terms rather than exercising early purchase options, which generally result in lower margin realization.

The provision for lease merchandise write-offs increased $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2025. The provision for lease merchandise write-offs as a percentage of revenues increased to 8.4% during the second quarter of 2026 from 7.5% in the same period in 2025, primarily reflecting higher period-end delinquency levels, as well as continued pressure on customer payment performance in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Given the significant uncertainty regarding the impacts of geopolitical disruptions, inflation, tariffs, increased fuel prices, elevated interest rates, and unemployment rates on our business, and the potential effects of such developments on Progressive Leasing's POS partners, customers, and business going forward, a high level of estimation was involved in determining the allowance as of June 30, 2026. Actual lease merchandise write-offs could differ materially from the allowance for those write-offs.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a lower gross leased asset balance as a result of the tightening of our decisioning posture during 2025, and a decrease in demand for the durable leasable products offered by many of our retail partners. We believe the inflationary and other macroeconomic factors had a disproportionate negative effect on our customers' disposable income, negatively affecting demand for many products offered by our retail partners.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Gross margin is a key performance measure for our Progressive Leasing segment, which generates lease revenue from transactions that include associated depreciation of the merchandise on lease, making gross margin a meaningful indicator of profit. The increase in Progressive Leasing's gross margin percentage reflects a decline in customers' electing early purchase options, as macroeconomic conditions contributed to customers choosing to make payments over the full contractual lease term rather than exercising early purchase options, which generally result in lower margin realization.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

In February and June 2026, Progressive Leasing sold portfolios of charged-off lease receivables to third-parties for a total of $11.2 million in cash and recognized total gains of $11.2 million, as the carrying amount of the charged-off receivables had been reduced to zero.
