CCF Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Periods, Percentages, Units, Per Unit Amounts, or as Noted)
Note 1. Ownership, Nature of Business, and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business: CCF Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”, “CCF Holdings” or “CCF”) is a provider of alternative financial services to unbanked and under-banked consumers. The Company was formed in 2018 and succeeded to the business and operations of Community Choice Financial Inc. The Company owned and operated 1,591 retail locations in 25 states and was licensed to deliver similar financial services through a digital platform in 29 states as of June 30, 2026. Through its network of retail locations and digital platform, the Company provides customers a variety of financial products and services, including secured and unsecured, short-term and medium-term consumer loans, check cashing, prepaid debit cards, and other services that address the specific needs of its individual customers.
The Company has historically issued Class A, Class C and Class M common units (“Common Units”) to certain investors. The Class A units were granted voting rights. Class C and Class M units were non-voting.
In addition to Common Units, CCF has historically issued perpetual cumulative convertible preferred units (the “Preferred Units”) to certain investors. The holders of the Preferred Units were granted certain rights, including voting rights and board observation rights. The Preferred Units accrued dividends monthly and were payable at the direction of the Board of Managers of CCF. Dividends were payable monthly at 15.0% per annum.
The Company historically issued equity-classified warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Units. The Warrants were originally scheduled to expire on March 26, 2026. On March 24, 2026, certain of the Warrants were amended to extend their expiration date through the closing of the Merger (as defined and discussed in Note 17) and to provide that the amended Warrants be exercised automatically upon the closing of such merger. On March 26, 2026, Warrants to purchase 800,624 of the Company’s Class A Common Units expired. As of June 30, 2026, Warrants to purchase 8,418,687 of the Company’s Class A Common Units remained outstanding and exercisable.
Pursuant to the 2021 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Managers, the Company and certain members of the Company’s management (the “CCFI MIP Holders”) were granted profits interests in the form of Class B units (the “CCFI MIP Equity”) of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary. For both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 20 Class A units and 380 Class B units authorized, issued and outstanding of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC.
Pursuant to the 2019 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Managers, the Company’s Board of Managers issued options (“Options”) to employees of the Company to purchase Class M Common Units. The Options were awarded on January 31, 2022 and vested immediately. The Options expire, if not exercised, on the earlier of i) termination of employment or ii) January 31, 2032. As of June 30, 2026, Options for 5,866,393.5 Class M Common Units remained open.
In addition, certain members of the Company’s Board of Managers were historically granted phantom restricted unit awards that were settled upon a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended). The phantom restricted units were fully vested and were subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Initial Merger Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated June 17, 2026 (the “Amendment to the Merger Agreement”, and together with the Initial Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Katapult”), completed the business combination transaction with Aaron's Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aaron's”), and the Company. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units, and Phantom Units of the Company were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock also became subject to the Warrants of the Company, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration. Refer to Note 17 for additional details on the Merger Agreement.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Business combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and any assumed liabilities are recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair value. The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the transactions. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCF and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 2025 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to classifications presented in the 2026 consolidated financial statements, without affecting the previously reported net income or members’ deficit.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the accrual for third-party losses, the determination of fair value of medium-term finance receivables, the valuation of goodwill, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue recognition: Transactions include loans, credit service fees, check cashing, bill payment, money transfer, money order sales, and other miscellaneous products and services. The revenue recognized from these transactions is classified in the following categories:
Finance receivable revenues—Advance fees and direct costs incurred for the origination of secured and unsecured short-term and medium-term consumer loans are deferred and amortized over the loan period using the effective interest method. Interest earned from short-term and medium-term consumer loans is recognized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method for finance receivables at amortized cost. However, a portion of finance receivables are measured using the fair value option, which is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Interest and fee income on finance receivables at fair value are recognized in finance receivables revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Credit service fees—Credit service organization (“CSO”) and credit access bureau fees (collectively “CSO fees”) are recognized over the arranged credit service period. Product sales are allocated based on performance obligation. CSO performance obligations include the guarantee and the arrangement of the loan. The guarantee portion of the fees are recognized over the period of the loan as the guarantee represents the primary performance obligation. The arrangement of the loan represents a small portion of the CSO fee, and the net impact would not be material.
Check cashing fees—The full amount of the check cashing fee is recognized as revenue at the time of the transaction. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided.
7
Card fees and Other—The Company acts in an agency capacity regarding bill payment services, money transfers, card products, fee based third-party processing services and money orders offered and sold at its retail locations. The Company records the net amount retained as revenue because the supplier is the primary obligor in the arrangement, the amount earned by the Company is fixed, and the supplier is determined to have the ultimate credit risk. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. The transaction price is reduced for variable consideration related to assuring the minimum cash requirement and program fees paid directly to the third-party lending program provider. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration to which it expects to be entitled at contract inception using the expected value, subject to the constraint that a significant revenue reversal is not probable and is reassessed each reporting period. A small portion of other revenues includes incentive and signing bonuses based on reaching certain volumes, which are recognized over time as the performance obligation is fulfilled. The bonuses are associated with the Company’s agency agreements.
Disaggregation of revenues—Revenues for finance receivables, including the fair value adjustment of finance receivables, and credit service fees are recognized over the term of the loan. Certain other revenues are recognized over the life of the related contract. Total revenues recognized over time were $806.5 million and $814.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues for check cashing, card fees, and other are recognized at the time of service and were $64.6 million and $59.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company may maintain deposits with well-capitalized banks in amounts in excess of federal depository insurance limits, but believes any such amounts do not represent significant credit risk.
Restricted cash: Restricted cash represents cash held to meet redress obligations, state licensing requirements, compensating balances, or is restricted as to withdrawal or usage.
Finance receivables at amortized cost: Finance receivables consist of short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans.
Short-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity up to ninety days. Unsecured short-term loan products typically range in principal from $50 to $825, with a maturity between fourteen and thirty-five days. This form of lending is based on applicable laws and regulations which vary by state. The customers repay the loan by making cash payments or allowing a check or preauthorized debit to be presented. Secured consumer loans with a maturity of ninety days or less are included in this category and represented 80.2% and 80.5% of short-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
In certain states, in compliance with law, the Company offers an extended payment plan for all borrowers. This extended payment plan is advertised to all customers where the program is offered, either via pamphlet, posted at the store at the time of the consumer loan, or on the website. This payment plan is available to all customers in these states upon request and is not contingent on the borrower’s repayment status or further underwriting standards. There are no modifications to customers experiencing financial difficulty. The term is extended to roughly four payments over eight weeks. If customers in the extended payment plan do not make these payments, then their held check is deposited or an ACH is processed for the full amount. Gross loan receivables subject to these repayment plans were immaterial at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Medium-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity greater than ninety days and up to forty-eight months. Unsecured medium-term products typically range from $50 to $6,000 and are evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity between three and thirty-six months. These consumer loans vary in structure depending upon the applicable laws and regulations where they are offered. The medium-term consumer loans are payable in installments or provide for a line of credit with periodic payments. Secured consumer loans with a maturity greater than ninety days are included in this category and represented 40.1% and 41.7% of medium-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company offers consumer loans that are secured by collateral, for which the Company has the right to operate or sell if the customer is experiencing financial difficulty. Secured consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, or other personal property, however, some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.
Delinquency: The Company determines delinquency status using the contractual terms of the finance receivable.
8
Allowance for credit losses: Provisions for credit losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses and an adequate accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans processed for third-party lenders under the CSO program. The factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables, the accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans made by third-party lenders and the resulting provision for credit losses include an evaluation by product and by market based on historical loss experience. The Company evaluates various qualitative factors that may or may not affect the computed initial estimate of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables, by using internal valuation inputs including historical loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information relating to past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio, forecasted changes in the macroeconomic variables such as unemployment levels and inflationary pressures typically do not have a significant impact on loans outstanding. The Company utilizes a loss rate approach in determining its lifetime expected credit losses primarily based on the Company’s historical loss experience. The forecast of expected losses by loss curves as compared to historical loss curves identifies significant changes in borrower behavior that may indicate historical loss rates should be adjusted, and extends over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio, the reversion back to historical loss rates after the forecasting period does not have a meaningful impact. The Company does not require reversion adjustments due to the short-term nature of the loan portfolio. The Company’s current expected credit loss (“CECL”) vintage model segments its loan portfolio into monthly pools of receivables by short-term, medium-term, secured and unsecured and estimates the allowance for credit losses by applying loss rates primarily derived from internal, historical cumulative loss experience, then adjusted by qualitative factors to address recent and forecasted business trends. Qualitative factors considered when determining any adjustments to the historical loss rates included, but were not limited to, contractual delinquency, the value of underlying collateral, economic and other qualitative considerations, and management’s judgment. The Company evaluates such pooling decisions and adjusts as needed from time to time as risk characteristics change. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.
For short-term unsecured cash advance consumer loans, the Company’s policy is to charge off loans when they become past due. For short-term unsecured installment consumer loans, the Company’s policy is to charge off loans when accounts are sixty days past due. The Company’s policy dictates that, where a customer has provided a check or an electronic payment authorization for presentment upon the maturity of a loan, if the customer has not paid off the loan by the due date, the Company will deposit the customer’s check or draft the customer’s bank account for the amount due. If the check or draft is returned as unpaid, all accrued fees and outstanding principal are charged-off as uncollectible. For short-term secured loans, the Company’s policy generally requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either thirty, sixty or ninety days past due depending on the product.
The Company may place loans on nonaccrual status due to statutory requirements, or if the timely collection of principal and interest becomes uncertain. Accrued interest is not applied against interest income and loans remain on nonaccrual status until payment or charge-off. Payments are applied first to any outstanding past due loan balances. Past due payments may not bring a loan off nonaccrual status. The Company’s policy for determining past due status is consistent with the loans receivable aging disclosure. The Company had $80.6 million and $94.5 million of loans in nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable.
9
For medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have a term of one year or less, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either sixty or ninety days past due. For medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have an initial maturity of greater than one year, the Company’s policy generally requires that balances be charged off when accounts are ninety-one days past due. For medium-term loans valued at amortized cost, the Company accrues interest on past-due loans until charged-off for most medium-term loans. For most title loans, the interest and fee income is suspended if the loan is delinquent over thirty-five days and is not resumed until the loan is current. The amount of the resulting charge-off may include unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable.
Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded to the allowance for credit losses or the accrual for third-party losses in the period in which they are received.
Finance receivables at fair value: As adopted, on July 1, 2024, the Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) under ASC 825-10, to be applied to all newly originated loans under medium-term secured and medium-term unsecured products, excluding products tied to a line of credit and any third-party lender products under a CSO program, which share similarities in classifications of term length and securitization, but differ in terms of financial instrument product type. As such, the respective finance receivables are reported as finance receivables at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The FVO portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Loss and payment activity and certain cost assumptions are determined using respective historical data and include consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes is reflective of the market. The changes in fair value are reported in the fair value adjustment of finance receivables on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Interest and fee income on finance receivables at fair value are recognized in finance receivables revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Charge-off and recovered finance receivable revenues are included in net charge-offs of finance receivables at fair value on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Secured consumer loans before fair value adjustments with a maturity greater than ninety days included in this category represented 76.9% and 78.0% of medium-term consumer loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Reserve for unfunded commitments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to extend lines of credit to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Company records a reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancellable, through a charge to provision for credit losses in the Company’s statements of operations. The reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposure is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans. When estimating the exposure, the Company evaluates both the likelihood the funding will occur and the estimate of the expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life based on historical data. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Credit service organization: Certain subsidiaries of the Company offer a CSO product to assist customers in obtaining credit with unaffiliated third-party lenders for a fee. The Company records a liability for the secured and unsecured loans expected to default subject to a guarantee. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
10
Management estimates the accrual for credit losses using relevant information relating to past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes a loss rate approach in determining its lifetime expected credit losses primarily based on third-party lender historical loss experience. The Company’s CECL vintage model segments its loan portfolio into monthly pools of receivables by short-term, medium-term, secured and unsecured and estimates the accrual for credit losses by applying loss rates primarily derived from internal, historical cumulative loss experience, then adjusted by qualitative factors to address recent and forecasted business trends. Qualitative factors considered when determining any adjustments to the historical loss rates included, but were not limited to, contractual delinquency, the value of underlying collateral, economic and other qualitative considerations, and management’s judgment. The Company evaluates such pooling decisions and adjusts as needed from time to time as risk characteristics change. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the accrual for credit losses may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.
Card related pre-funding and receivables: The Company acts as an agent for marketing prepaid debit cards. For certain products, the Company offers prepaid cards to customers as an optional source of funding a loan and maintains a pre-funded account to load the cards.
Property, leasehold improvements and equipment: Leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided principally by straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
The useful lives of leasehold improvements and equipment by class are as follows:
| Years | |||
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 | ||
| Leasehold improvements | 5 - 10 | ||
| Computer hardware and software | 3 - 7 | ||
| Vehicles | 5 | ||
| Buildings | 30 |
Leases: The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for those leases that convey rights to control use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is also required to record a lease liability for the present value of future payment commitments. The Company leases most of its premises under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2035, with some at various dates through 2041. The majority of lease agreements relate to real estate and generally provide that the Company pay taxes, insurance, maintenance and certain other variable operating expenses applicable to the leased premises. The Company’s leases often include options to extend or terminate at its sole discretion, which are included in the determination of the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease components and non-lease components are not included in the Company’s computation of the ROU asset or lease liability. The Company also does not include short-term leases in the computation of the ROU asset or lease liability. Short-term leases are leases with a term at commencement of 12 months or less. Short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Deferred loan origination costs: Direct costs incurred for the origination of loans, which consist mainly of direct and employee-related costs, are deferred and amortized to loan fee income over the contractual lives of the loans using the interest method unless carried at the fair value option. Unamortized amounts are recognized as income at the time that loans are paid in full or at charge-off.
Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill, or cost in excess of fair value of net assets of the companies acquired, is recorded at its carrying value. The Company had previously adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04, which requires a single-step goodwill impairment test that compares the carrying value of the reporting unit (the Company as a whole since it is comprised of a single reporting unit) with its fair value. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value; a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the difference, limited to the amount of goodwill recognized. ASU 2017-04 also eliminated the prior guidance for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying value. As such, the same one-step process is applied in all circumstances. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has a members' deficit of $70.0 million and $124.7 million, respectively. Based on management's evaluation, the Company concluded no impairment on the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
11
The Company’s other intangible assets consist of a trade name, customer list, software and favorable lease asset. The amounts recorded for other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over three years for software, five years for the customer list, fifteen years for the trade name and nine years for the favorable lease. Intangible amortization expense, including favorable lease amortization expense that is classified in occupancy costs on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, was $13.9 million and $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Repossessed assets: Repossessed assets are valued at the lower of the finance receivable balance prior to repossession or the estimated net realizable value of the repossessed asset. The Company estimates net realizable value using the projected cash value upon liquidation, less costs to sell the related collateral. Repossessed assets are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The changes in the carrying amount of repossessed assets, net of adjustments for net realizable value are summarized as follows:
| Six Months Ended | ||||||||
| June 30, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Total balance, beginning of period | $ | 9,535 | $ | 15,296 | ||||
| Repossessed assets acquired | 57,194 | 68,137 | ||||||
| Repossessed assets sold | (55,930 | ) | (72,658 | ) | ||||
| Total balance, end of period | $ | 10,799 | $ | 10,775 | ||||
Cloud computing arrangements: The Company accounts for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. The balance of cloud computing arrangement implementation costs included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets was $20.4 million and $19.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred amortization of software implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that are service contracts of $2.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Deferred debt issuance costs: Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related contractual obligation using a method that approximates the interest method. Amortization is included as a component of interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company paid no deferred debt issuance costs and amortized $5.8 million of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and paid $2.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs and amortized $9.1 million of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Deferred revenue: The Company’s deferred revenue is comprised of an upfront fee received under an agency agreement to offer wire transfer services at the Company’s branches. The deferred revenue is recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis.
Revenue recognized from the upfront fees totaled $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in other revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.
Self-insurance liability: The Company is self-insured for employee medical benefits subject to certain loss limitations. The incurred but not reported liability (“IBNR”) represents an estimate of the cost of unreported claims based on historical claims reporting. The Company monitors the continued reasonableness of the assumptions and methods used to estimate the IBNR liability each reporting period. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising and marketing costs: Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising, and marketing over the internet are charged to operations when incurred or the first-time advertising takes place.
12
Store closure expense: Store closure expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations consist of lease termination expense and exiting expenses for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Transition services expense: As part of the acquisition of Speedy Cash, Rapid Cash and Avio Credit Businesses (“CURO Acquisition”) from CURO Intermediate Holdings Corp. (“CURO”) in 2022, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) whereby the Company agreed to reimburse CURO for certain costs post transaction which are paid for or borne in support of the entities purchased by the Company. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025 and there was no remaining liability as of December 31, 2025. The Company accounted for the expense and related interest due in transition services expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Loss (gain) on store closures: The Company recognizes gains or losses on disposal of property, leasehold improvements, and equipment for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company evaluates all long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of these assets cannot be recovered by the undiscounted net cash flows they will generate.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes: Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents current tax obligations and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions by reviewing against applicable tax law positions taken by the Company with respect to tax years for which the statute of limitations is still open. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties on income taxes are charged to other expenses.
Fair value of financial instruments: Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
| • | Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| • | Level 3—Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820-10 requires a disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard enables a reader of consolidated financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The standard requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories.
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820-10. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.
13
Special purpose entities: The Company has subsidiaries that are considered special purpose entities (“SPE”). The SPEs were created for the primary purpose to house secured credit facilities, the respective collateral for those facilities and any transfers of assets to and from other subsidiaries. The Company transfers finance receivables from originating subsidiaries to the SPE to secure as collateral on the credit facilities of the SPEs. Subsidiaries of the Company continue to service finance receivables transferred to the SPEs. The SPEs primarily use the proceeds from the finance receivables to pay obligations of the SPEs, including interest expense on the credit facilities, as well as advance additional funding to subsidiaries of the Company, subject to restrictions such as a borrowing base. The finance receivables of the SPEs are reported as assets and the credit facilities are reported as liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Adoption of ASU 2023-09: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures requiring for entities other than public business entities to provide qualitative disclosures about specific categories of reconciling items and individual jurisdictions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however, retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis, and the amendments expanded annual disclosures but did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASU 2024-01: In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to enhance the transparency by including an illustrative example to assist in determining whether a profits interest or similar award is within the guidance of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and should be within the scope of other guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2024-01 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis, and the amendments did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASU 2025-05: In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets which addresses the challenges encountered when applying Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments provide a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 without needing to predict future economic conditions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied prospectively and early adoption are also permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and did not elect the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which creates new qualitative and quantitative income statement expense disclosure requirements for public business entities, primarily through disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments of this standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software which improves the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) to expand the gross-up approach in Topic 326 at the time of acquisition to certain acquired non-PCD loans that are deemed “seasoned” as defined in the ASU. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
14
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements which adds clarity and guidance to the application of Topic 270, including a principle to disclose material events since the most recent annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for entities other than public business entities. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviewed all other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of future adoption.
Non-controlling interest: The non-controlling interest reported in members’ deficit represents the Class B membership units of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary, held by members of management.
Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated its subsequent events (events occurring after June 30, 2026) through the issuance date of September 11, 2026. Events are incorporated with their respective footnote.

The Company filed an appeal in August 2022 and the SBA denied the Company’s appeal on November 4, 2022. Having exhausted its administrative remedies, the Company timely filed a claim against the SBA on December 2, 2022, seeking a court order to require the SBA to forgive the PPP Loan.

May 27, 2022), an earlier filed case involving similarly situated plaintiffs and substantially the same issues. As part of the voluntary dismissal, the SBA has agreed that the Company is not required to repay the PPP Loan while the lawsuit is pending, and interest is accrued in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The interest accrued on the PPP Loan was $0.4 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Note 11. Concentrations of Credit Risks
The Company’s portfolio of finance receivables is comprised of loan agreements with customers in thirty-one states and consequently such customers’ ability to honor their contracts may be affected by economic conditions in those states. Additionally, the Company is subject to regulation by federal and state governments that affect the products and services provided by the Company. To the extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect the Company’s ability to offer loans or similar products in any of the states in which it operates, the Company’s financial position could be adversely affected.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the portfolio balance by state for gross finance receivables, including finance receivables at amortized cost and finance receivables at fair value at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Subsidiaries of the Company offer a CSO product in Texas to assist consumers in obtaining credit with unaffiliated third-party lenders. Total gross finance receivables for which the Company has recorded an accrual for third-party lender losses totaled $215.7 million and $239.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and the corresponding guaranteed consumer loans are disclosed as an off-balance sheet arrangement.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company maintains a separate reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, utilizing the same models and approaches for the Company’s other loan portfolio segments described in Note 1, as these unfunded commitments share similar risk characteristics as its loan portfolio segments. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the liability for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposure included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $1.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Transition services expense
As part of the acquisition of CURO, the Company entered into TSA whereby the Company agreed to reimburse CURO for certain costs post transaction which are paid for or borne in support of the entities purchased by the Company. The liability was satisfied as of December 31, 2025. The Company accounted for the expense and related interest due in transition services expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings wherein certain amounts are claimed or violations of law or regulations are asserted. Except for the matters mentioned below, the opinion of the Company’s management is that these claims are without substantial merit or should not result in judgments which in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
For the following lawsuits and administrative proceedings, the Company has accrued estimated legal and litigation expenses of $22.5 million and $22.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and related expenses to other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - TMX Finance LLC
In October 2023, the Company acquired TMX Finance LLC and subsidiaries (together, the “Subsidiary”). Prior to the acquisition, the Subsidiary entered into a Consent Order (the “2023 Order”) on February 23, 2023, with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) regarding the CFPB’s concerns about Military Lending Act (“MLA”) compliance and non-file insurance fees, which are fees related to insurance that covers when the lender does not obtain a lien on a vehicle in which the lender has an interest. The Company has robust policies and procedures in place to prevent lending to MLA covered borrowers and discontinued the use of non-file insurance in June of 2021. As a condition of the 2023 Order, the Subsidiary paid $10.0 million in 2023 as a civil money penalty to the CFPB Civil Penalty Fund and initially set aside $5.1 million in restricted cash to pay affected consumers. The Subsidiary received approval from the CFPB to begin distribution of the payments to affected customers. The Subsidiary has distributed all checks during 2025 and, as part of the 2023 Order, is managing returned mail and re-issuance of checks in accordance with the redress plan.
33
Cyber Related Litigation
On March 31, 2023, Samantha Kolstedt filed a putative class action complaint on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia against TMX Finance Corporate Services, Inc. (“TMX FCS”) alleging that TMX FCS should be liable for damages allegedly incurred as a result of a data security incident that impacted TMX FCS’s computer network in or around February 2023 and asserting claims for negligence, breach of implied contract, alleged violations of the Georgia Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and declaratory judgment. Shortly thereafter, other plaintiffs filed putative class action lawsuits against various affiliates of TMX FCS alleging similar facts and asserting similar claims. Ultimately, the lawsuits were all consolidated into the first action filed by Kolstedt, and a consolidated complaint was filed on November 29, 2023, against TMX FCS and TMX Finance LLC (collectively “TMX”). That case sought certification of a class; compensatory, injunctive, equitable, declaratory, punitive, and nominal relief; the award of class representative service awards; pre-judgment and post-judgment interest; and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. After motion practice, the Parties reached a settlement and the settlement agreement memorializing the terms was finalized and signed on February 24, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the Court entered the Preliminary Approval Order approving the settlement, set a Final Approval Hearing that took place on August 12, 2025, and on September 2, 2025, the Court entered the Final Approval Order and Judgment. TMX made the payment for the settlement administration by the deadline of November 14, 2025 and the settlement administrator has completed the settlement administration.
Greensboro Law Center cases (“GLC”)
GLC refers to a series of 16 mass actions from claimants represented by the Greensboro Law Center. Each of the mass actions were filed in state court in North Carolina against various TitleMax branded entities (collectively “TitleMax Entities”). Fifteen of the sixteen actions have been removed to federal court and are pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina and fourteen of the sixteen actions have been compelled to, and are stayed pending, arbitration. As to the matters that have not been compelled to arbitration (“Byrd” and “Banks”), both pending in federal court, the responses to their respective complaints were filed June 9, 2026. In addition, the TitleMax Entities have filed Motions to Stay all confirmation and vacatur proceedings in those mass actions where confirmation and vacatur motions have been filed. On June 5, 2026, the Federal Court held a hearing on various motions, including the Motions to Stay. No ruling was entered on any of the motions heard and the judge ordered post hearing briefing, which was filed by all parties by the deadline of June 19, 2026. The court has not yet ruled on those motions. Various other motion practice continues.
Each of the mass actions contains similar allegations that North Carolina law should apply to loans obtained by the claimants from TitleMax branded stores located outside of North Carolina. The claimants each seek the amounts of payments made on the loans and the fair market value of any vehicle repossessed, multiplied by three, plus statutory interest, and attorneys’ fees, and, in many instances, punitive damages. In many instances where punitive damages have been assessed in arbitration, the TitleMax Entities are either appealing within the arbitrable bodies or, in court, in more than 50 actions, are opposing confirmation or seeking vacatur. In many of those vacatur and confirmation actions, the TitleMax Entities have included, or in previously filed actions, have sought leave to include, an additional ground of fraud as support to vacatur or opposition to confirmation. One ruling where an award was confirmed is on appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and various appeals are pending in the North Carolina state court system. In all instances, the TitleMax Entities are vigorously defending themselves against all claims. Additionally, TitleMax of South Carolina, Inc. (“TM SC”) filed a declaratory action in South Carolina state court against a borrower alleged to have resided in North Carolina at the time of his loan origination, and that defendant is in default.
On August 29, 2024, TM SC filed a separate action in South Carolina federal court against the state of North Carolina and two borrowers who, at loan origination, resided in North Carolina but traveled to South Carolina to get a loan from TM SC. Those two borrowers are named as plaintiffs in one of the more recent mass actions. This action seeks a declaratory judgment that the relevant North Carolina laws are unconstitutional either as applied or on their face. After various motion practices and orders from the court, TM SC filed a new, substantially similar complaint on January 30, 2026, naming the three borrowers and the North Carolina Attorney General (“NC AG”) as a defendant, and filed an amended complaint on March 4, 2026. The defendants have submitted their responses to the complaint with the NC AG and the three borrowers all filing motions to dismiss and the three borrowers also filing motions to compel arbitrations. TM SC has replied to those responses. The Court has not yet ruled on TM SC’s motion.

CURO Intermediate Holdings Corp., v. Sparrow Purchaser, LLC
On March 28, 2023, CURO, the seller of various entities that the Company purchased in 2022, filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking specific performance of a post-closing working capital dispute. On June 9, 2023, the Company filed its Answer and Counterclaims. The Answer contests CURO’s position regarding the working capital dispute. The Counterclaims allege that assets sold by CURO were not in conformity with CURO’s representations and warranties in the purchase agreement. On June 5, 2024, the Court held that under the purchase agreement, one of the issues in the parties’ working capital dispute shall be resolved by an independent accountant, while the remaining issue was not ripe for resolution given the ambiguity of the purchase agreement on that issue. The independent accountant issued its calculation on March 3, 2025. On January 14, 2026, the Parties stipulated to a dismissal of all claims without prejudice.
On July 17, 2023, CURO filed a demand for arbitration, seeking monetary damages for breach of the TSA agreement, which the parties entered into in connection with the purchase agreement. CURO seeks allegedly unpaid fees and interest under the TSA. On July 24, 2023, the Company filed its Answering Statement and Counterclaims, which seeks damages for services provided under the TSA that were not in conformity with CURO’s representations and warranties in the TSA. A merits hearing in the arbitration was held on January 13-14, 2025. Post hearing briefing has been completed. The Tribunal requested post-hearing oral argument which occurred on May 20, 2025. On November 5, 2025, a majority of the three arbitrator Tribunal issued its final award, finding in favor of, and awarding damages to, CURO. The Company made final payment of the arbitration award to CURO in December 2025.
Creditcorp PPP Loan
Prior to the Creditcorp acquisition, Creditcorp received a $10.0 million PPP loan. After the acquisition, the PPP Loan became a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The PPP loan was created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and is administered by the SBA. Under the terms of the program, eligible loans may be partially or fully forgiven if the loan proceeds are spent on qualifying expenses and staffing level and salary maintenance requirements are met. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and was originally scheduled to be due in May 2022. The Company submitted a request for loan forgiveness, which was approved by the lender on September 27, 2021 but denied by the SBA on July 18, 2022. The Company filed an appeal in August 2022 and the SBA denied the Company’s appeal on November 4, 2022. Having exhausted its administrative remedies, on December 2, 2022, Creditcorp joined a coalition of financial services businesses in suing the SBA, alleging that the lender exclusion rule is invalid because it conflicts with the plain language of the CARES Act, and that the SBA’s denial of forgiveness as to Creditcorp was unlawful because the agency has arbitrarily and capriciously enforced the exclusionary rule. The December 2, 2022 action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On August 11, 2023, all Plaintiffs in the case, including Creditcorp, voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice pending a decision in DACO Investments, LLC v. SBA, No. 6:22-cv-01444 (W.D. La. May 27, 2022), an earlier filed case involving similarly situated plaintiffs and substantially the same issues. As part of the voluntary dismissal, the SBA agreed not to undertake any collection efforts on Creditcorp’s (and other Plaintiffs’) challenged PPP loans, and interest is accrued in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
In DACO Investments, LLC v. SBA, on February 22, 2024, the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana denied in part and granted in part the defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment as to the plaintiffs’ claims that the SBA improperly denied PPP loan forgiveness. Following that ruling, on May 21, 2024, the plaintiffs in the Louisiana case appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 5, 2024, the plaintiffs-appellants filed their opening brief. After numerous extension requests, the defendants’ response brief is now due September 15, 2026. Therefore, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet issued a ruling on the appeal. The parties reached an agreement in principle with the SBA in late 2025 to resolve the matter but Creditcorp and the SBA were unable to agree on final terms for settlement. Creditcorp is exploring options for repayment of the PPP loan and has already accrued for all related interest expense in its financial statements.

United States ex rel. Relator, LLC v. William Allan Jones, Creditcorp, and Does 1-10
On July 6, 2022, Relator, LLC filed a qui tam action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging William Allan Jones and Creditcorp violated the False Claims Act by obtaining Creditcorp’s $10 million PPP loan. While the case was under seal, the Company responded to the Department of Justice’s requests for documents and information related to the PPP loan. On May 25, 2025, the Department of Justice declined to intervene in the case, and the case was unsealed the same day. On August 12, 2025, Creditcorp was served with the Complaint, and in response, it filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on October 2, 2025. On November 20, 2025, the Court conducted a hearing and granted Creditcorp’s Motion to Dismiss which dismissed all of Relator, LLC’s claims against all defendants with prejudice.
Relator, LLC then filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Relator, LLC’s opening appellate brief was due on February 27, 2026, but instead of filing a brief, the parties came to agreement and filed a joint Stipulation Dismissing Appeal on February 27, 2026. The Court then issued an order dismissing the appeal on March 4, 2026, thus ending the matter.
Onder Law firm cases
On November 6, 2019, the Onder Law Firm in Missouri filed ten identical cases, each with ten plaintiffs, respectively. These suits allege TitleMax of Missouri, Inc. (“TM MO”) must operate as a title lender as defined under Missouri law rather than a consumer finance lender. Plaintiffs allege that because TM MO operates as a consumer finance lender, TM MO is not compliant with the title loan chapter and is thus subject to its penalties. Plaintiffs further allege that TM MO breached its loan agreements and arbitration agreements by failing to pay the Onder firm directly so that the Onder firm could pay the arbitration fee itself, rather than the arbitration tribunal billing TM MO directly. In response to the 10 complaints, TM MO moved to compel arbitration of all Plaintiffs’ claims. Those motions were denied, and the appellate court upheld the trial court’s ruling and the action was remanded to the trial court to proceed. TM MO vehemently disagrees with Plaintiffs’ allegations and is actively defending itself in the trial court proceeding. Discovery is ongoing.
Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on April 9, 2025. After briefing and a hearing on July 8, 2025, the trial court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. TM MO filed a Motion to Compel Discovery, and, after that motion was filed, Plaintiffs, on August 19, 2025, filed their Motion for Summary Judgment. After a hearing on September 12, 2025, the Court compelled Plaintiffs to respond to TM MO’s discovery, including providing depositions and verified interrogatory responses.
Pursuant to various discovery related issues, at TM MO’s request, the Court has dismissed nearly 50 of the plaintiffs across the ten different actions. On January 26, 2026, TM MO filed its Motion for Summary Judgment. The parties briefed their competing summary judgment motions, and a hearing on both motions was heard on March 6, 2026.
On May 12, 2026, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment and ruled in favor of TM MO by dismissing Plaintiffs’ claim that TM MO operates as a title lender rather than a consumer finance lender. The remaining individual claims are proceeding. On August 13, 2026, the Onder Law Firm filed a Notice of an Intent to File an Appeal of the trial court’s order dismissing one plaintiff’s claim under the Missouri title lending statute. The trial court set a status conference for October 30, 2026.
In re De La Cruz, Lopez, and individual arbitration claimants v. Check Into Cash of California, Inc.
On March 7, 2025, Check Into Cash of California, Inc. (“CIC CA”) appeared at a mediation and settled a consolidated California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) case and 22 individual arbitration proceedings via a mediator’s proposal. As to the consolidated PAGA claims, the Court approved the settlement pursuant to a December 24, 2025 court order. CIC CA has paid that settlement. The PAGA settlement is being administered. As to the individual arbitrations, they have been removed from the respective arbitrators’ dockets, the parties have negotiated written settlement agreements for each claimant, and those agreements have been signed, and payment has been made.

In re Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (“DOBS”)
On June 14, 2024, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (“DOBS”) filed an administrative proceeding (the Order to Show Cause, or “OSC”) against TitleMax of Delaware, Inc., TitleMax of Ohio, Inc., TitleMax of Virginia, Inc., TitleMax of South Carolina, Inc., TitleMax Funding, Inc., TMX Finance LLC, TMX Finance Corporate Services, Inc., CCFI Companies, LLC, and all successors or predecessors in interest, affiliates, subsidiaries, or parent companies (collectively, the “Respondent Entities”) alleging the Respondent Entities: (1) need a license from the state of Pennsylvania and (2) offer products that violate various Pennsylvania laws. In the OSC, DOBS seeks an order requiring the Respondent Entities to show that they did not violate certain Pennsylvania interest rate laws.
After extensive prehearing motion practice, the final hearing on the OSC was held between October 6, 2025 and October 8, 2025 and post hearing briefing was filed by all parties thereafter. On April 14, 2026, the Chief Hearing Examiner issued a Proposed Adjudication and Order in favor of the Respondent Entities, and adverse to DOBS, as to all counts. The Pennsylvania Banking and Securities Commission is now reviewing the matter to determine whether to accept, revise, remand, or reject the Chief Hearing Examiner’s Proposed Adjudication and Order. Oral argument before the Banking Commission was held on July 30, 2026. After oral argument, the Banking Commission indicated that it would issue its ruling during its next scheduled meeting currently set for September 24, 2026.
Additionally, the Respondent Entities also filed various federal lawsuits asserting that requiring the Respondent Entities to participate in the OSC evidentiary hearing violates those entities’ constitutional rights and, in those federal actions, sought injunctions to prevent any violation of the Respondent Entities’ constitutional rights. The trial courts denied the relief requested and the Respondent Entities appealed. The appellate courts, the Fourth Circuit, Fifth Circuit, and Third Circuit, upheld the trial courts' rulings. Petitions for writs of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States from the Third, Fifth, and Fourth Circuit Courts were filed on June 3, 2026, July 2, 2026, and August 27, 2026, respectively. With respect to the petition for writ of certiorari filed as a result of the Third and Fifth Circuit appeals, the Supreme Court requested that DOBS submit written responses to the Respondent Entities’ petitions by September 28, 2026.
South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs v. Cash Central of South Carolina LLC
On May 6, 2016, the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (the “Department”) brought this action against Cash Central of South Carolina LLC (“Cash Central”) for allegedly failing to comply with South Carolina Consumer Code sections 37-3-201 and 37-3-305 alleging Cash Central failed to file and post maximum rate schedules. A trial was held and Cash Central prevailed. The Department appealed and the South Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s ruling. Cash Central petitioned the Supreme Court of South Carolina to review the appellate decision, but the petition was denied and the case was remanded back to the trial court. After remand, Cash Central obtained leave to amend its Answer and add additional affirmative defenses to the Department’s claims. On January 31, 2025, the Department moved for summary judgment as to those affirmative defenses. On May 20, 2025, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Department as to some, but not all, of those defenses. Cash Central then filed a Rule 59(e) Motion for Reconsideration, which was denied. On August 6, 2025, Cash Central filed its notice of appeal and filed its opening brief on January 28, 2026. The appeal and trial court proceeding has been dismissed and the action is concluded. The Parties have settled this action and executed a written settlement agreement on April 27, 2026.
Courtney Blackmon v. TitleMax of Georgia, Inc. d/b/a TitleMax, TMX Finance LLC, and Tracy Young
On February 21, 2024, Plaintiff filed this putative class action alleging violations of the Military Lending Act (“MLA”) against TitleMax of Georgia, Inc., TMX Finance, LLC (together the “TM Subsidiary”) and Tracy Young. In September 2021, Plaintiff applied for a title pawn in store and was initially denied and determined to be ineligible as a covered borrower under the MLA. Plaintiff reapplied that same day and inputted her mother’s social security number and was approved. In July 2022, Plaintiff applied for another title pawn under the same false social security number and was approved, with the pawn refinanced several times. Plaintiff seeks to represent “All MLA Covered Borrowers in the United States that entered into a Pawn Transaction Disclosure Statement and Security Agreement” within five years prior to the commencement of the litigation. After initial motion practice, discovery commenced, but in August 2025, discovery was stayed for a period of 60 days in order for the TM Subsidiary to effectuate payment to affected consumers pursuant to the Consent Order (the “2023 Order”) that the TM Subsidiary entered into with the CFPB on February 23, 2023. Further, the Court entered an Order granting the Motion to Stay and a stay is in place until April 13, 2026. At a status conference that occurred on May 6, 2026, the Court entered a briefing schedule for an upcoming TM Subsidiary dispositive motion, which required TM Subsidiary to file its opening brief by May 20, 2026, which it did, with the opposition’s brief then due on June 19, 2026, and TM Subsidiary’s reply brief due on July 20, 2026. Prior to the opposition brief being due, the parties reached a settlement in principle, notified the Court of the same, and on June 18, 2026, the Court entered an Order administratively closing the case and directing the Parties to file a dismissal upon finalization of the settlement.

Manning M. “Chip” Goldsmith III, M.D., and Jason Jue v. Tracy Young, TY ICOT Investments, LLC, and TMX Finance, LLC, TitleMax of Texas, Inc., and TitleMax of Georgia, Inc.
On March 29, 2017, Plaintiffs filed this action in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia. Plaintiffs are minority shareholders of ICOT Investments, LLC (“ICOT”), a hearing aid company in which Tracy Young (“Young”) is the majority shareholder. Young is the former CEO of TMX Finance, LLC, TitleMax of Texas, Inc. (“TM TX”), and TitleMax of Georgia, Inc. (“TM GA”) (collectively the “TMX Defendants”). ICOT is unaffiliated with any TMX Defendant or any of their affiliates. Plaintiffs Goldsmith and Jue allege that Young, during his time as CEO of the TMX Defendants, conspired with, or utilized, various TM TX and TM GA employees in order for Young to dilute the minority shareholders’ shares in ICOT. The TMX Defendants filed their Motion for Summary Judgment and a hearing on the Motion occurred on May 5, 2026. For procedural reasons, the TMX Defendants’ filed a new Motion for Summary Judgment and, on August 26, 2026, the Court entered an order granting the TMX Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment as to all claims pending against them.
Note 13. Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company files consolidated or separate state income tax returns as permitted by the individual states in which it operates. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to the Company’s consolidated federal tax return is closed for all tax years up to and including 2021. The years open to examination by state and local government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed. Additionally, NOL carryforwards from certain earlier periods in these jurisdictions may be subject to examination to the extent they are utilized in a later period. Currently, the Company is not under any examination by taxing authorities. The Company had no liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was impacted due to improved business conditions that made it more likely than not that deferred tax assets would be realized and release of the valuation allowance.
The Company had net deferred tax assets of $47.8 million and $58.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets each quarter. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence in the various jurisdictions in which it operates related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that most of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable, with the exception of net operating losses related to separate entity returns where there are material doubts as to our ability to utilize in statutory carryforward period, and intangible assets that are subject to the built in loss limitations. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in response to uncertainty regarding realizability of these deferred tax assets as they have not met the “more likely than not” realization criteria. When a change in valuation allowance is recognized during an interim period, the change in valuation allowance resulting from current year income is included in the annual effective tax rate and the release of valuation allowance supported by projections of future taxable income is recorded as a discrete tax benefit in the interim period. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company released $42.0 million of its valuation allowance, included in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. A valuation allowance of $8.0 million and $58.3 million was recognized at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that was more likely than not expected to be realized. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Note 14. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities
In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to determine whether it has a variable interest in a legal entity and, if so, whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that should be considered for consolidation. The Company consolidates any VIE where it has determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb the losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have limited agency agreements with unaffiliated third-party lenders under the CSO program. The agreements govern the terms by which the Company refers customers to that lender, on a non-exclusive basis, for a possible extension of credit, processes loan applications, and commits to reimburse the lender for any loans or related fees that were not collected from such customers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure, was $215.7 million and $239.2 million, respectively. The accrual for third-party lender losses related to these obligations totaled $43.0 million and $49.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This obligation is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company has determined that the lenders as part of this program are VIEs. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company has determined they are not the primary beneficiary and that consolidation of the VIEs is not required because the Company does not own or control any interests in the entities, lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and does not have the obligation to absorb the losses or receive the benefits of the entities.
Additionally, beginning in 2023, the Company through its subsidiaries has a limited agency agreement with an unaffiliated third-party fund under a retail foot traffic agreement. The agreement governs the terms by which the third-party lending program supported by the fund is offered by the Company, which increases the retail foot traffic and the potential of the Company to increase other product offerings to those individuals as part of or independent of the third-party lending program in exchange for assuring a minimum cash requirement held by the fund. Also, as part of the program, the Company through its subsidiaries has limited agency agreements with an unaffiliated third-party program administrator and unaffiliated third-party payment processors to act as the loan distributor for the third-party lending program, responsible for creating loan awareness, assisting customers with applying for the loans, and processing transactions for the customer. As the Company acts as an agent in these arrangements, revenue is recognized on a net basis in the amount of fees earned from the unaffiliated third-party payment processors. Revenue is reduced for the estimated variable consideration related to assuring a minimum cash requirement and program fees associated with the program. The program fees are classified as consideration payable to the unaffiliated third-party program administrator and unaffiliated third-party payment processor and recorded as contra revenue.
39
In the fourth quarter of 2025 the Company determined, based on facts and circumstances, that there was a significant deterioration in the unaffiliated third-party payment processors' creditworthiness and collecting the full receivable was no longer considered probable. The Company did not reverse the revenue previously recognized and recorded the reserve for collectability as a contra revenue and against the receivable included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. On June 4, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement that extinguished the previously outstanding receivable and resulted in the issuance of a non-interest-bearing, $10.0 million promissory note by the unaffiliated third-party payment processor, collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the debtor's assets. The note matures in November 2028 and requires monthly payments ranging from $0.1 million to $0.4 million. The note was initially recognized at $8.3 million, net of a $1.7 million discount, and is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The $1.7 million discount is being accreted to interest income over the term of the note using the effective interest method. In connection with the settlement, the Company derecognized the $15.6 million gross receivable and the related $13.8 million reserve for collectability. Because the reserve had previously been recorded as a reduction of revenue, the settlement resulted in a $6.5 million net increase to revenue from the release of previously recorded contra revenue. The promissory note is evaluated separately from receivables arising from subsequent transactions under the retail foot traffic program. Subsequent program receivables are generated through a different unaffiliated third-party participant and represent separate credit risk exposure from the settled receivable and the note receivable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a receivable related to the third-party lending program, net of reserve for collectability, of none and $1.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the reserve for collectability was none and $12.0 million, respectively.
The following table represents the components disaggregation of revenue recognized for this third-party lending program in other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Gross revenues related to the third-party program | $ | 33,483 | $ | 32,324 | ||||
| Plus: release of reserve of collectability | 4,661 | — | ||||||
| Less: variable consideration - assurance of minimum cash requirement | (16,887 | ) | (10,460 | ) | ||||
| Less: program fees | (1,214 | ) | (5,039 | ) | ||||
| Net revenue recognized | $ | 20,043 | $ | 16,825 | ||||
The minimum cash requirement liability was $3.6 million and $3.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is recorded as a liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has determined that only the unaffiliated third-party fund associated with this program is a VIE. Only the amounts presented as related to the assurance of the minimum cash requirement expense and corresponding liability relate to this VIE. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company has determined they are not the primary beneficiary and that consolidation of the fund is not required because the Company does not own or control any interests in the fund, lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and does not have the obligation to absorb the losses or receive the benefits of the fund.
Note 15. Non-Cash Equity-Based Compensation
Pursuant to the 2021 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Managers, the Company and certain members of the Company’s management were granted profits interests in the form of Class B units of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary. The Class B units were granted in May 2021, August 2022, August 2023, and January 2024 and vest ratably up to three years with the first ratable vesting event occurring in March 2021. For both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 20 Class A units and 380 Class B units authorized, issued and outstanding of CCF MIP Holdings, LLC. The award and related agreements included provisions providing for acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended) and forfeiture of the awards under certain circumstances.

The following assumptions were used to measure the fair value of the awards:
| May 2021 Grant | August 2022 Grant | August 2023 Grant | January 2024 Grant | |||||||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.29 | % | 2.90 | % | 2.90 | % | 3.88 | % | ||||||||

| Expected term | 6.9 years | 5.6 years | 5.6 years | 4.2 years | ||||||||||||
The grant date fair value of the May 2021, August 2022, August 2023 and January 2024 awards were $6.5 million, $5.1 million, $0.9 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Including forfeitures, non-cash equity-based compensation of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, has been recognized which resulted in an increase in non-controlling interest in consolidated members’ deficit. The May 2021 awards were fully recognized as of December 31, 2023. The August 2022 awards were fully recognized as of June 30, 2025. The August 2023 awards were fully recognized as of September 30, 2025. There was $0.2 million of additional non-cash compensation expense to be recognized through December 31, 2026 for the January 2024 awards.
The following table summarizes the awards activity under the August 2022 Grant, August 2023 Grant and the January 2024 Grant during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

Pursuant to the 2019 Management Incentive Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Managers, the Company’s Board of Managers issued options (“Options”) to three employees of the Company to purchase a combined total of 11,732,787 Class M Common Units. The Options were awarded on January 31, 2022 and vested immediately. The Options expire, if not exercised, on the earlier of i) termination of employment or ii) January 31, 2032. As of June 30, 2026, Options for 5,866,393.5 Class M Common Units remained open.
The following tables summarize the Options activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

In addition, certain members of the Company’s Board of Managers were granted phantom restricted unit awards that will be settled upon a change in control transaction (as defined in the Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended). The phantom restricted units were fully vested and were subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has not recognized any compensation expense for the phantom restricted units as of June 30, 2026, and did not recognize any compensation expense until the closing of a change in control transaction.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Katapult completed the business combination transaction with Aaron's and the Company. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, all unvested units immediately vested with the change of control and the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units and Phantom Units of the Company were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock became subject to Warrants of the Company, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration.

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Finance receivables at fair value: The FVO portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. The internally developed model uses inputs, such as estimated loss, payment activity, discount rate, and certain originating, servicing, and collection cost assumptions that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumption a market participant would use to calculate fair value. As the model inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs, the FVO portfolio is classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The table below presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Carrying Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Assets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finance receivables at fair value | $ | 266,539 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 266,539 | $ | 273,223 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 273,223 | ||||||||||||||||
The table below presents quantitative information about key unobservable inputs used for the Company’s finance receivable fair value measurements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Net collections rate(1) | 41.9 | % | 41.4 | % | ||||
| Cost assumptions rate(1) | 27.2 | % | 27.5 | % | ||||
| Discount rate | 12.5 | % | 12.8 | % | ||||
(1) Rates presented are weighted averages of all FVO portfolios.
Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the finance instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net collection rate would increase the fair value of the Company’s finance receivables at fair value. An increase to the cost assumptions rate or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company’s finance receivables at fair value. 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.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company has assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets that have a carrying value which could be subject to impairment under unfavorable events or circumstances. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments summarized by level are as follows:
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using Level 1 inputs.
42
Finance receivables at amortized cost, net: Finance receivables at amortized cost, net consist of short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, including open end lines of credit. Loans originate at prevailing market rates. For the short-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, given the short-term nature of these loans and due to these loans continually being repriced at current market rates, the amortized cost approximates fair value. For the medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, the Company estimated fair value by using a discounted cash flow methodology. The internally developed model uses inputs, such as estimated loss, payment activity, discount rate, average loan age, and certain originating, servicing, and collection cost assumptions that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumption a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The fair values of loans receivable are measured using Level 3 inputs.
Repossessed assets: Repossessed assets are valued at the lower of the finance receivable balance prior to repossession or the estimated net realizable value of the repossessed asset. The Company estimates net realizable value using the projected cash value upon liquidation, less costs to sell the related collateral. The fair value of repossessed assets are estimated using Level 3 inputs determined based on comparable recent used-vehicle auction sales and known changes in the broad used-vehicle market. Repossessed assets are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Debt: The Company’s private term and revolving debt facilities, both variable and fixed interest rates, are not actively traded and therefore do not have quoted market prices and thus are measured using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s variable interest rate debt facilities are tied to SOFR, a market benchmark, with a short reset period, and are estimated to have a fair value equal to par. The Company’s fixed interest debt facilities fair value is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate the Company would bear if executed in the current market after considering changes in the market interest rate and credit profile of the Company, and result in an estimated fair value equal to par.

Note 17. Merger Agreement
On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into the Initial Merger Agreement, by and among Katapult, Katapult Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult (“Merger Sub 1”), Katapult Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult (“Merger Sub 2”), Aaron’s and the Company.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Katapult completed the business combination transaction with the Company and Aaron's. The transaction was approved and certain members of management of the Company, having performed all necessary conditions and acts to be completed immediately prior to, contributed and assigned certain equity award units of the Company in exchange for shares of Katapult stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult 11,011,927 shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity.

Recent Developments
Merger
On December 11, 2025, Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Katapult”), Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Aaron's Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aaron's”), and the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Initial Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the parties will consummate the Mergers, and upon such consummation, each of Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 will cease to exist, and each of Aaron’s and the Company will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult (the “Mergers”). The Mergers are subject to customary closing conditions.
On March 24, 2026, we amended certain of the outstanding equity-classified warrants (the “Warrants”) to extend their expiration date through the Closing and to provide that the amended Warrants will be exercised automatically at the Closing. For more information, see the section titled “—Capitalization and Financing Activities” below.
2
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Initial Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated June 17, 2026 (the “Amendment to the Merger Agreement”, and together with the Initial Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), Katapult completed the business combination transaction with the Company and Aaron's. The transaction was approved and certain members of management of the Company, all necessary conditions and acts to be completed having been performed immediately prior to, contributed and assigned certain equity award units of the Company in exchange for shares of Katapult stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units and Phantom Units of the Company were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock became subject to Warrants of the Company, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub 2 merged with and into CCF, and the separate existence of Merger Sub 2 ceased and CCF continued as the surviving limited liability company and subsidiary of Katapult. We incurred merger-related acquisition expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2026 detailed further in the sections titled “—Components of Results of Operations” and “—Results of Operations” below. For more information, see the sections titled “The Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement” in the Form S-4, as well as Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Trends and Key Factors Affecting our Performance
Changes in legislation & regulation
We operate within a comprehensive framework of federal, state, and local laws and regulations that govern our products, services, and business practices. These include consumer protection requirements, licensing standards, interest rate parameters, and disclosure obligations. Our well-established compliance infrastructure is designed to proactively adapt to evolving regulatory expectations across jurisdictions and support sustainable, responsible growth.
State-Level Oversight
We operate in multiple states, each with its own regulatory framework governing product terms, permissible fees, interest rates, and repayment structures. Our ability to tailor offerings by state enables us to remain fully aligned with local requirements while continuing to serve customer needs effectively. In addition to financial services regulations, we comply with applicable zoning, licensing, and municipal requirements in the communities we serve. Our ability to remain nimble to both enabling legislative updates as well as those that are restrictive are a real competitive advantage. We continue to closely monitor state-level developments and refine our practices as needed to ensure ongoing compliance and operational resilience.
Federal Oversight
In October 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) issued the “Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans” rule (the “2017 Payday Rule”), which applies to certain consumer loan products we offer. The rule originally included mandatory ability-to-repay (“ATR”) underwriting requirements and new limitations on repayment practices.
On July 22, 2020, the CFPB published its final small dollar loan rule (the “Final 2017 Payday Rule”), rescinding the mandatory underwriting provisions after re-evaluating their legal and evidentiary basis. The payments provisions of the rule remain in effect. While the compliance date for the Final 2017 Payday Rule was March 30, 2025, on March 28, 2025, the CFPB issued a press release entitled “CFPB Offers Regulatory Relief for Small Loan Providers” indicating that the CFPB “will not prioritize enforcement or supervision actions with regard to any penalties or fines associated with the Payment Withdrawal provisions and the Payment Disclosure provisions once they become operative on March 30, 2025.” We continue to monitor regulatory developments closely and maintain flexibility in our compliance approach.
3
On April 22, 2026, the CFPB published its final rule setting forth the agency’s approach to fair lending enforcement under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) and its implementing Regulation B. Most notably, the final rule establishes that “disparate impact” liability is not authorized under the ECOA and removes the “effects test” from Regulation B. Additionally, the final rule narrows the types of oral or written statements that could constitute improper discouragement of applicants from submitting loan applications and also adds additional prohibitions of special purpose credit programs utilizing race, color, national origin, sex, or any combination thereof as eligibility criterion.
The final rule took effect on July 21, 2026, although litigation or other challenges may affect its implementation or continued applicability. We continue to monitor, review, and assess whether any changes need to be made to our policies, practices, and training as a result of the final rule. We remain engaged in statistical disparate impact testing and recognize the CFPB’s fair lending focus is on intentional discrimination and proxy discrimination. Additionally, California engages in disparate impact reviews under broad civil rights laws.
Federal Tax Developments
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill (the “Act”). Key income tax-related provisions include updates to bonus depreciation, research and development expenditures, interest expense deductibility and international tax regimes. The Act did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate in 2025 and we do not expect the Act to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in 2026.
Product characteristics and mix
We offer a diversified portfolio of consumer financial products designed to meet the evolving liquidity needs of underbanked and financially underserved individuals. Our core offerings include short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans, and lines of credit, which are accessible through both our extensive network of retail locations and our digital platforms.
In certain jurisdictions, we operate through our CSO, which acts as a broker between consumers and unaffiliated third-party lenders. In these arrangements, we earn credit service fees for facilitating loans.
We also provide ancillary services, such as check cashing, card products, money transfers, bill payment services, fee-based third-party processing services and money orders, further enhancing our value proposition to customers seeking convenient, one-stop financial solutions.
Our product offerings are driven by consumer demand and specific regulations applicable to the markets in which we operate:
| • | Fees and interest income associated with short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans and lines of credit. |
| • | Service fees are associated with third-party loans. |
| • | Ancillary service fees from non-lending products. |
Through our omnichannel delivery model — combining physical storefronts with our digital platform through online and mobile access — we serve a broad demographic while maintaining operational efficiency. We are continuously evaluating our product mix and delivery channels in response to consumer demand, with a focus on maintaining compliance and optimizing profitability.
Strategic initiatives
Over the past two fiscal years, we have executed a series of strategic initiatives aimed at expanding our market presence, diversifying our product offerings, and enhancing customer access to credit.
| • | During 2025, we methodically executed on operational efficiencies and increased customer disbursement and payment options, while refining harmonized recovery efforts and secured collateral management. |
| • | During 2026, we strive to enter the final stages of consolidating the acquisitions of the last few years across people, technology, and refinement of operational efficiencies. These adjustments are expected to create financial synergies that solidify a foundation to expand revenue growth through a unified approach to marketing, omnichannel operations, and portfolio management. |
These initiatives reflect our commitment to delivering accessible, responsible financial solutions and driving long-term value for our customers and stakeholders.
4
Seasonality
We experience fluctuating demand for our lending products throughout the year. Historically, the highest demand for our credit products occurs during the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Conversely, we typically observe reductions in finance receivables during the first quarter of each calendar year, primarily due to customers receiving income tax refunds. As a result, we typically experience a higher cash usage in the fourth quarter and increased cash generation in the first quarter, excluding other capital usage. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, results of operations for any fiscal quarter may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. Additionally, external factors, such as changes in interest rates and inflation, may influence customer behavior, potentially altering the seasonal patterns typically observed in our business.
Key Performance Indicators
We focus on a variety of key performance indicators to plan, measure and evaluate the Company’s business and financial performance, identify trends affecting our business and inform our strategic business decisions. We use these key performance indicators to develop operational goals for managing our business. Our key performance indicators consist of several operating and financial metrics.
We believe that these key performance indicators provide useful information to investors and others by allowing for transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These metrics may be used by investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Our calculation of key performance indicators and metrics may be different than or otherwise not comparable to similarly named metrics used by other companies.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive revenue primarily from interest income, origination fees, credit service fees, check cashing, card fees, bill payment, money transfer, and money order sales. The following are descriptions of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue:
Finance receivable revenues
We generate finance receivable revenues through the issuance of secured and unsecured short-term and medium-term consumer loans, which yield interest income as well as origination fees.
Credit service fees
We generate credit service fees through the operation of our CSO. Through this program, we provide services related to third-party lenders’ consumer loan products by acting as a CSO on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under this program include credit-related services such as arranging loans with a third-party lender. When a consumer executes an agreement with us under this program, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For these loans, the lender is ultimately responsible for underwriting these consumer loans, and, if approved, establishing the loan terms. We are then responsible for assessing whether to guarantee these loans. These guarantees represent an obligation to purchase the loan, in the event of consumer default, at which point we would record these loans as finance receivables. We recognize revenue for the provision of credit service fees over the loan term.
Check cashing fees
We generate check cashing fees by charging our customers a fee for converting checks into cash. The full amount of the check cashing fee is recognized as revenue at the time of the transaction.
Card fees
We generate card fees primarily by charging customers various fees associated with prepaid debit cards and other card products. The Company acts as an agent for marketing prepaid debit cards sold at our retail locations. For certain products, the Company offers prepaid cards to our customers as an optional source of funding for loans, maintaining a pre-funded account to facilitate loading the cards.
6
Other revenues
We generate other revenues primarily by charging fees for bill payment services, money transfers, fee-based third-party processing services and money orders available at our retail locations, where the Company acts as an agent for these services. Certain adjustments are contra-revenue including a retail foot traffic agreement with a third-party to support the offering of our product to their customers to drive sales and other program fees.
Fair value adjustment of finance receivables, net
Fair value adjustment of finance receivables, net includes charge-offs of finance receivables at fair value offset by related recovery operations, as well as changes to the fair value of finance receivables, measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology using an internally developed model with inputs such as estimated loss, payment activity, discount rate, and certain originating, servicing, and collection cost assumptions to estimate the fair value of the loans.
Provision for credit losses
Provisions for credit losses include charge-offs of loan and check cashing services offset by related recovery operations, as well as changes to the allowance for credit losses charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses and an adequate accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans processed for third-party lenders under the CSO program. The factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables, the accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans made by third-party lenders and the resulting provision for credit losses include an evaluation by product, by market based on historical loss experience, and delinquency of certain medium-term consumer loans.
Expenses
Salaries and related expenses
Salaries and related expenses include salaries, hourly wages, bonuses, equity-based compensation, as well as related expenses associated with medical benefits, employee benefit plans, employer payroll taxes and other employee-related costs.
Occupancy
Occupancy costs consist of expenses associated with operating lease expense under the terms of the related leases. Occupancy costs also include expenses related to telecommunications, real estate taxes, rent, property insurance and utilities necessary for operations.
Advertising and marketing
Advertising and marketing expenses represent costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising, as well as marketing over the internet.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation related to fixed assets, such as buildings, equipment, furniture, and signage, as well as amortization of software and definite-lived intangibles.
Store closure expenses
Store closure costs consist of lease termination expenses and exiting expenses for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Acquisition expenses
Acquisition expenses represent direct expenses related to mergers and acquisitions, including legal fees, due diligence costs, and advisory fees.
7
Transition services expense
Transition services expense consists of costs incurred under a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") following the July 2022 acquisition of Speedy Cash, Rapid Cash, and Avio Credit businesses from CURO Immediate Holdings Corp (“CURO Acquisition”). The purpose of the TSA was to ensure the continuity of key operational functions, facilitate a smooth integration of the acquired subsidiaries into our business, and avoid any disruption of services to the related customers. These expenses included reimbursements to CURO for the reimbursement of certain costs paid for or borne in support of the CURO Acquisition post-transaction. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025.
Non-cash equity-based compensation
Non-cash equity-based compensation expense includes costs from equity awards granted to employees under the Company’s 2021 management incentive plan (“MIP”) approved by our Board of Managers. Additionally, certain members of the Board of Managers have been granted phantom restricted unit awards to be cash settled upon a change in control transaction. As of June 30, 2026, no compensation expense has been recognized as a change in control transaction has not occurred.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense includes long-term debt interest and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of small amounts of interest income from money market accounts.
Loss (gain) on store closures
Gain or loss on store closures primarily include gains or losses on lease terminations through the release of store liabilities and any gains or losses from disposal of property, leasehold improvements, and equipment for retail locations that have closed or have been scheduled to be closed.
Other expenses
Other expenses primarily include collateral collection and loan processing expenses, software subscriptions, recruiting, travel, bank charges, office supplies, insurance, legal expenses and professional fees.
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes consists primarily of the recognition of a deferred tax asset through partial release of the valuation allowance, offset by income taxes in the various jurisdictions where we are subject to taxation.

Finance receivable revenues
Finance receivable revenues increased by $14.9 million, or 2.7%, to $563.5 million for the first half of 2026 from $548.7 million for the first half of 2025, due to the impact of improved underwriting and product harmonization.
Credit service fees
Credit service fees decreased by $18.1 million, or 7.0%, to $242.0 million during the first half of 2026 from $260.1 million during the first half of 2025, as the Company continues its efforts to improve the performance of the portfolio through stronger underwriting, resulting in lower average loan volumes.
Check cashing fees
Check cashing fees increased by $0.8 million, or 2.6%, to $32.9 million during the first half of 2026 from $32.1 million during the first half of 2025, as higher check cashing rates offset lower volume.
9
Other revenues
Other revenues increased by $4.2 million, or 17.2%, to $28.4 million during the first half of 2026 from $24.2 million during the first half of 2025, primarily due to an agreement with an unaffiliated third-party payment processor to resolve a previously outstanding receivable.
Fair value adjustment of finance receivables
Fair value adjustment of finance receivables decreased by $5.0 million, or 85.2%, to $0.9 million during the first half of 2026 from $5.8 million during the first half of 2025, due to changes in the volume of finance receivables and refining our assumptions used in the model.
Net charge-offs of finance receivables at fair value
Net charge-offs of finance receivables at fair value increased by $13.1 million, or 24.1%, to $67.5 million during the first half of 2026 from $54.4 million during the first half of 2025, primarily driven by an increase in finance receivables at fair value of 16.6%.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses increased by $12.3 million, or 6.1%, to $213.8 million during the first half of 2026 from $201.5 million during the first half of 2025, due to the allowance impact of a smaller decline in receivables in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025 and a decrease in allowance rates in 2025.
Salaries and related expenses
Salaries and related expenses decreased by $3.9 million, or 2.1%, to $183.8 million during the first half of 2026 from $187.7 million during the first half of 2025, as we realized the benefits from headcount-related synergy savings.
Occupancy
Occupancy increased by $1.6 million, or 2.0%, to $84.4 million during the first half of 2026 from $82.7 million during the first half of 2025, primarily driven by higher utilities and maintenance costs.
Advertising and marketing
Advertising and marketing decreased by $1.0 million, or 4.8%, to $20.0 million during the first half of 2026 from $21.0 million during the first half of 2025, primarily due to management’s strategic allocation of marketing spend.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.4 million, or 7.8%, to $28.5 million during the first half of 2026 from $30.9 million during the first half of 2025, driven by a decrease in depreciation of software fixed assets acquired in prior acquisitions.
Acquisition expenses
Acquisition expenses increased to $5.2 million during the first half of 2026 from none during the first half of 2025, due to the costs associated with the Mergers.
10
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased by $5.2 million or 6.0%, to $82.1 million during the first half of 2026 from $87.3 million during the first half of 2025, primarily driven by lower debt utilization and reduced variable debt cost due to a decline in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
Gain on store closures
Gain on store closures was $2.9 million during the first half of 2026 due to a one-time gain on store lease liabilities.
Other expenses
Other expenses decreased by $9.4 million, or 6.1%, to $144.2 million during the first half of 2026 from $153.6 million during the first half of 2025, primarily due to reductions in Collateral Collection Expenses resulting from process improvements as well as reductions in travel expenses and professional fees.
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes
Income tax benefit increased by $42.1 million, or 644.0%, to $35.5 million during the first half of 2026 from an income tax expense of $6.5 million during the first half of 2025, primarily driven by the recognition of a deferred tax asset in 2026 where our evaluation in the first quarter of 2026 concluded that it was more likely than not that substantially all of our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable.
Credit Quality of Finance Receivables
Our finance receivables consist of short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured consumer loans. We account for our finance receivables at amortized cost for all consumer loans through June 30, 2024. On July 1, 2024, we elected the FVO for all newly originated loans under medium-term secured and medium-term unsecured products, excluding products tied to a line of credit and any third-party lender products under a CSO program. The FVO portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Loss and payment activity and certain cost assumptions are determined using respective historical data and include consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that we believe is reflective of the market. The fair value adjustment of finance receivables recognized in earnings was $0.9 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We monitor the performance of our finance receivables as our results of operations are influenced by the credit quality of our finance receivables portfolio. We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivables as a key credit quality indicator and evaluate the credit quality of our consumers based on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. As part of our credit risk management activities, we actively monitor the migration between the delinquency buckets and changes in the delinquency trends to manage exposure to credit risk in the portfolio. Depending upon the product, our policy generally requires balances be charged off when accounts are either thirty, sixty, or ninety days past due.
The following tables include financial information of our finance receivables. Delinquency metrics include principal, interest and fees that are past due as of the period presented:

We estimate and record an allowance for credit losses associated with our portfolio of finance receivables at amortized cost. Our methodology to estimate the expected lifetime credit losses uses relevant past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our allowance for credit losses may fluctuate based on changes in portfolio growth, credit quality, and economic conditions.
The total changes to the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated were as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure liquidity in terms of our ability to fund the cash requirements of our business operations, including working capital needs, capital expenditures, contractual obligations, debt service, acquisitions and other commitments. These needs are met through cash flows from operations and other sources of funding, including borrowing under our revolving credit facilities, our securitization facilities and the issuance of perpetual cumulative convertible preferred units (the “Preferred Units”). Our primary uses of cash are funding of finance receivables, operating expenses (e.g., salaries and related expenses and occupancy costs), capital expenditures, and servicing debt obligations.
As of June 30, 2026, we held cash and cash equivalents of $96.8 million. Our cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks. Our cash generated from operations, along with available borrowing capacity of $49.2 million from our credit facilities as of June 30, 2026, are expected to support our liquidity needs. Borrowing capacity is inclusive of borrowing base calculations on the credit facilities and the available amount is contingent on these calculations.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, together with cash flows generated from operations, will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for at least twelve months. However, our future capital requirements will depend on several factors, including our financial performance, which is subject to many economic, commercial, regulatory, financial and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, these factors may require us to seek additional or alternative sources of capital, such as asset-specific financing, additional indebtedness, refinancing of existing indebtedness, or asset sales.
Capitalization and Financing Activities
In addition to our debt facilities discussed below, we have historically issued common units (the “Common Units”), which consist of Class A (the “Class A Common Units”), Class B (the “Class B Units”), Class C (the “Class C Common Units”) and Class M (the “Class M Common Units”), as well as phantom restricted units and Preferred Units. Holders of Preferred Units were granted specific rights, including voting. Certain holders of Preferred Units had board observation rights. These units accrued dividends monthly at a rate of 15.0% per annum, payable at the discretion of our Board of Managers. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not issue any Common Units. Phantom restricted units were issued to the Board of Managers, which contain an implicit vesting condition based on a change in control event occurring.
We also issued equity-classified warrants (“Warrants”) to holders of Class A Common Units to purchase Class A Common Units, which were originally scheduled to expire on March 26, 2026. On March 24, 2026, certain of the Warrants were amended to extend their expiration date through the Closing and to provide that the amended Warrants will be exercised automatically at the Closing. On March 26, 2026, Warrants to purchase 800,624 of the Company’s Class A Common Units expired. As of June 30, 2026, Warrants to purchase 8,418,687 of the Company’s Class A Common Units remain outstanding and exercisable.
On August 11, 2026, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Katapult completed the business combination transaction with Aaron’s and the Company. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement, all unvested units immediately vested with the change of control and the Company caused the CCFI MIP Holders to assign, transfer and deliver to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity and Katapult issued to the CCFI MIP Holders and CCF caused the CCFI MIP Holders to acquire from Katapult shares of Katapult Common Stock as consideration for the CCFI MIP Equity. At the effective time of the Merger Agreement, i) all of our outstanding Common Units, Preferred Units and Phantom Units were collectively converted solely into the right to receive shares of Katapult Common Stock, ii) shares of Katapult Common Stock became subject to our Warrants, and iii) vested Options not exercised were forfeited for no consideration. Refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for additional details on the Merger Agreement.

Debt
We maintain a diversified portfolio of debt instruments to support our operations, acquisitions, and strategic initiatives. These facilities include secured revolving credit lines, term loans, and structured financing arrangements, each with specific terms, covenants, and maturity profiles. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our total outstanding principal across all debt facilities was approximately $1.0 billion. Each loan contains specific terms and covenants. Covenants used and their ratios and limits vary between the debt instruments. Types of covenants found in the debt instruments include, but are not limited to, liquidity, interest coverage ratios, leverage ratios, total earnings assets, net worth, tangible net worth, tangible asset coverage, and maximum total debt. We are in compliance with all such debt covenants as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. For more information on our debt agreements, please see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
First Lien Facility
On March 26, 2021, we entered into a $200.0 million asset-based secured revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Facility”) with a non-bank lender. The facility is collateralized by cash and eligible receivables and is subject to borrowing base and concentration limits. The Draw Period date extends through September 30, 2026, with a maturity date of September 30, 2027. Interest-only payments are made periodically with a balloon payment at maturity. The facility has been amended multiple times to reset the maximum commitment up to $180.0 million in 2024. The facility had a weighted average interest rate of 16.0% at June 30, 2026. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $142.9 million of principal was outstanding on the First Lien Facility. This facility was last amended on August 28, 2026 to extend the draw period and maturity dates.
Term Loan
Additionally, on March 26, 2021, we entered into a $20.0 million secured term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was subsequently increased to $110.8 million through a series of amendments. The Term Loan shares collateral and covenant structures with the First Lien Facility and matures on the earlier of September 30, 2026 or the repayment of the First Lien Facility. Key terms include interest-only payments with a balloon payment at maturity, and amendments in 2022 and 2023 to increase the commitment and update covenants for acquisitions. The term loan has a 15.0% interest rate per annum. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $110.7 million of principal was outstanding on the Term Loan. The Term Loan was last amended on August 28, 2026 to extend the maturity date.
PPP Loan
In August 2021, we previously acquired 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Creditcorp stock through a Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Creditcorp Acquisition”) and the option to purchase the remaining 51% of the issued and outstanding shares for nominal consideration. The Creditcorp acquisition further included control rights to direct the management, retail and online operations of Creditcorp and its subsidiaries. As part of the Creditcorp acquisition in 2021, we assumed a $10.0 million Paycheck Protection Program Loan (“PPP Loan”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The loan carries a 1% interest rate and was originally due in May 2022. The PPP Loan is currently subject to a legal matter. Creditcorp is exploring options for repayment of the PPP loan and has already accrued for this expense in its financial statements. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for additional details on the legal status of this matter. Accrued interest of $0.4 million was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $10.0 million of principal was outstanding on the PPP Loan.
Sparrow Facilities (CURO Acquisition)
To finance the CURO Acquisition, Sparrow Purchaser, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its affiliates (collectively “Sparrow”) entered into the following facilities on July 8, 2022:
| • | Sparrow Term Loan: $120.0 million term loan (the “Sparrow Term Loan”) with a 16.6% blended interest rate (increased from 15.0%). This loan was amended in 2023 to include quarterly amortization payments of $10.0 million beginning in the fourth quarter 2024 and has reduced the maximum principal balance to $50.0 million and $70.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This facility matures on December 31, 2027. This facility was amended on August 10, 2026 to increase the maximum commitment by $25.0 million to $75.0 million, update the interest rate, extend the maturity date and update the quarterly amortization payment from $10.0 million per quarter to $1.7 million per quarter and introduced a monthly amortization payment of $0.7 million. Both, the quarterly and monthly amortization payments, are effective for the period ending September 30, 2026 and apply as principal reductions to specific classes of the Sparrow Term Loan. |
14
| • | Sparrow Single-pay Facility: a $35.0 million single-pay facility (the “Sparrow Single-pay Facility”) with a 15.5% interest rate (increased from 15.0%), maturing March 31, 2028. This facility was amended on July 10, 2026 to increase the interest rate, and extend the draw period and maturity dates. |
| • | Sparrow Multi-pay Facility: $175.0 million multi-pay facility (the “Sparrow Multi-pay Facility”) with three tranches: Class A: 60% commitment, 13.5% interest; Class B & C: 30% and 10% commitments, respectively, 12.5% interest; 0.5% non-usage fee on undrawn amounts. This facility matures on December 31, 2028. This facility was amended on July 10, 2026 to extend the draw period and maturity dates. |
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the combined outstanding principal of the Sparrow facilities was $191.6 million and $220.1 million, respectively.
TMX Finance Facilities
In October 2023, we acquired TMX Finance LLC from TMX Finance Holdings Inc., including its TitleMax, TitleBucks, and InstaLoan businesses through an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “TMX Acquisition”). To finance the TMX Acquisition, Project Trident Purchaser, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its affiliates (collectively, “Project Trident”) entered into the following facilities on October 2, 2023 and swingline loan on October 20, 2023:
| • | TMX ABL Credit Facility: $450.0 million asset backed secured credit facility (the “TMX ABL Credit Facility”) with a weighted average interest rate of 12.5% at June 30, 2026, maturing August 10, 2029. This facility was amended on August 7, 2026 to extend the draw period and maturity dates. |
| • | Trident ATL Loan: $148.3 million acquisition term loan (the “Trident ATL Loan”) with an 18.0% interest rate. This facility has a maturity date of October 2, 2028.

This facility was amended on June 30, 2026 to extend the maturity date to January 7, 2028. |
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the combined outstanding principal across TMX Finance facilities was $533.1 million and $557.8 million, respectively.
Leases
We lease our facilities under various non-cancellable agreements that require minimum annual rental payments and may include additional charges for common area maintenance. These leases represent a significant component of our long-term obligations and impact our liquidity and capital planning. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had 1,603 and 1,606 total leases, respectively. For more information on our operating and finance lease commitments, refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Cash dividends
We paid cash dividends of $24.9 million and $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, to our Preferred Units holders and membership units held by our non-controlling interest (“NCI Units”). Also for both June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were $4.1 million in cash dividends declared and subsequently paid to our Preferred Units holders and NCI Units holders in July 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Preferred Units and NCI Units accrue dividends monthly, which are payable at the direction of our Board of Managers. Dividends for Preferred Units are payable monthly at a rate of 15% per annum. Dividends for NCI Units are payable monthly based on the calculated Preferred Units Dividends, representative of the 20% profit interest of the non-controlling interest.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we declared total combined dividends of $5.6 million to Preferred Unit holders and NCI Unit holders.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $38.1 million to $342.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $304.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by increases in net income of $33.0 million adjusted for changes in non-cash items including additional increases from accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $49.4 million, the fair value adjustment of finance receivables, net of $18.1 million and the provision for credit losses of $12.3 million, partially offset by increases in other assets of $64.8 million and other changes in working capital.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $74.6 million to $262.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $187.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in net receivables originated of $77.0 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $77.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $94.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash used of $16.6 million was primarily driven by decreases in net repayments of debt facilities.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have entered into various commitments and contingencies related to debt obligations, leases, employment relationships, environmental matters, and legal proceedings. For additional information on contractual obligations and commitments, see Notes 7, 10 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We maintain a separate reserve for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For additional information on unfunded loan commitments, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
16
Transition Service Expenses
As part of the CURO Acquisition, we entered into a TSA whereby we agreed to reimburse CURO for certain costs post transaction which were paid for, or borne in support of, the entities we acquired. The final TSA payment was made in December 2025. For additional information on TSA expenses, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Litigation
We are currently a defendant in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings wherein certain amounts are claimed or violations of law or regulations are asserted. For additional details on litigation proceedings which may have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
We believe that we maintain adequate levels of insurance coverage to address such claims and related matters, and that they will not have a significant impact on our liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have limited agency agreements with unaffiliated third-party lenders under the CSO program. The agreements govern the terms by which the Company refers customers to that lender, on a non-exclusive basis, for a possible extension of credit, processes loan applications, and commits to reimburse the lender for any loans or related fees that were not collected from such customers. The guarantee represents our obligation to purchase specific loans that go into default. We recognized an accrual for third-party lender losses related to this obligation on our consolidated balance sheets, which amounted to $43.0 million and $49.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. While we record liabilities to accrue for third party lender losses, we do not record finance receivables for the underlying loans issued by third parties, which are considered off-balance sheet arrangements. However, in the event of default by the consumers, we are obligated to purchase these finance receivables from the issuers. Our maximum exposure to such guarantees was $215.7 million and $239.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Refer to Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for discussion of accruals related to third-party credit losses.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amount of net revenues and expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting judgment, estimate, or assumption to be critical when the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We periodically review our estimates and adjust when facts and circumstances dictate. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will likely be affected.
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for additional discussion on our significant accounting policies.
17
Allowance for Credit Losses and Other Reserves for Third-Party Losses
Allowance for credit losses represents our estimate of expected losses over the life of finance receivables measured at amortized cost. Our other reserves for third-party losses associated with the CSO product offered through unaffiliated third-party lenders represent our estimate of expected losses related to defaulted loans subject to a guarantee. These estimates are inherently subjective and require significant judgment and rely on assumptions about future economic conditions and evaluation of credit risk.
We estimate allowance for credit losses and other third-party reserves using internal inputs such as historical loss experience, current conditions, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. Changes in these variables can materially affect our allowance for credit losses.
We estimate the allowance balance and other third-party reserves using relevant information relating to past events, current expectations related to economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes a loss rate approach in determining its lifetime expected credit losses primarily based on the Company’s historical loss experience. The Company’s current expected credit loss vintage model segments its loan portfolio into monthly pools of receivables by short-term, medium-term, secured and unsecured and estimates the allowance for credit losses by applying loss rates primarily derived from internal, historical cumulative loss experience, then adjusted by qualitative factors to address recent and forecasted business trends. Qualitative factors considered when determining any adjustments to the historical loss rates included, but were not limited to, contractual delinquency, the value of underlying collateral, economic and other qualitative considerations, and our judgment. We evaluate pooling decisions and adjust as needed from time to time as risk characteristics change. While we use the best information available to make our evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.
Finance Receivables at Fair Value
We have elected the fair value option for our medium-term secured and medium-term unsecured loan products, excluding line of credit and third-party lender products. We estimate the fair value of these finance receivables using a discounted cash flow methodology. Loss and payment activity and certain originating servicing, and collection cost assumptions are determined using respective historical data and include consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes is reflective of the market. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance.
The following describes the primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analyses that require significant judgment:
Net collections rate: The net collections rate includes all payments of principal, interest, fees, and recoveries developed using our historical experience on a portfolio vintage level and applied to the current portfolio to determine the expected future period cash flow.
Cost assumptions: The cost assumptions include certain acquisition, servicing, and collections costs. These costs reflect our estimate of the amount we would incur to originate as well as service and collect the underlying assets over the assets’ remaining lives. These costs are derived from our historical experience.
Discount rate: The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flow model reflects our estimate of the rate of return that a market participant would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
We record goodwill when the consideration paid for a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment annually, and more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of the reporting unit may be below the carrying amount. We have identified that our business operates as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing.
When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting profit and cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss. In order to test for goodwill impairment, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment of goodwill is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.
18
If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with the asset are compared with the asset’s carrying amount. If the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows or value expected to be realized in a third-party sale. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for a similar investment of like risk.
Based on our evaluation, we concluded there was no impairment on the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
We also review long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. Such events and changes may include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in our business strategy, among others.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense represents current tax obligations and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
As of June 30, 2026, after evaluating all available positive and negative evidence, including sustained profitability and anticipated future earnings, we concluded that it is more likely than not that substantially all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized, except for certain net operating losses related to separate entity returns and deferred tax assets associated with intangible assets subject to built-in loss limitations. Accordingly, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for which realization does not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold. In the first quarter of 2026, we released $42.0 million of our valuation allowance, which was recorded as a discrete income tax benefit within the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
Interest and penalties on income taxes are charged to other expense.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to market risk from adverse changes in interest rates is primarily associated with our loans carried at fair value and our debt instruments.
Beginning July 1, 2024, we elected the FVO for all newly originated medium-term secured and medium-term unsecured loans, excluding products tied to a line of credit and any third-party lender products under a CSO program. The changes in fair value are reported in the fair value adjustment of finance receivables on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the portfolio is measured based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes is reflective of the market. An increase of 100 basis points to the discount rates used in our valuations would decrease the balance of finance receivables at fair value by $1.2 million at June 30, 2026.
Market risk associated with our fixed-rate debt relates to the potential reduction in fair value from an increase in interest rates. Market risk associated with our variable-rate debt relates to the potential adverse effect on future earnings from an increase in interest rates.
As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $1.0 billion of current and long-term debt. Based on the underlying rates and outstanding balances at June 30, 2026, an increase of 100 basis points in average annual interest rates would have increased the annual interest expense on our variable-rate debt and variable-rate leases by $4.4 million.
Concentration of credit risk
We deposit cash with financial institutions, and, at times, such balances may exceed federally insured limits. We believe the financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents.

Note 1: BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Overview
Description of Business
Aaron's Intermediate Holdco, Inc., (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of IQV Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("IQV", or "IQV Holdco"), wholly owns The Aaron's Company, Inc. ("The Aaron's Company"), a leading, technology-enabled, omnichannel provider of lease-to-own ("LTO") and retail purchase solutions of furniture, electronics, appliances, and other home goods across its brands: Aaron's, BrandsMart U.S.A. ("BrandsMart"), and BrandsMart Leasing ("BML").
The Aaron's brand and BrandsMart Leasing (collectively referred to as the "Aaron's Business") provide consumers with LTO and retail purchase solutions through the Company's Aaron's stores in the United States and Canada and the aarons.com e-commerce platform. Aaron's also supports franchisees of its Aaron's stores. BML offers lease-to-own solutions to BrandsMart customers. As previously announced, following June 30, 2026 and prior to the consummation of the Mergers
(as defined below) on August 11, 2026, the Company ceased originating new BrandsMart Leasing agreements. The Company continues to service and recognize revenue from BrandsMart Leasing agreements outstanding as of the cessation date in accordance with their terms.
BrandsMart is a leading appliance and consumer electronics retailer in the southeast United States and one of the largest appliance retailers in the country with stores in Florida and Georgia and an e-commerce presence on brandsmartusa.com and other internet marketplaces.
On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Katapult Holdings, Inc., Katapult Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult (“Merger Sub 1”), Katapult Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katapult (“Merger Sub 2”), CCF Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCFI”). The transaction (the “Mergers”) closed on August 11, 2026.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the comparable prior-year period, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On June 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which IQVentures Holdings, LLC acquired The Aaron’s Company; the transaction was approved by shareholders on September 25, 2024, and closed on October 3, 2024, at which time the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of IQVentures Holdings, LLC, followed by a transfer of all equity interests to IQV Holdco (collectively, the “Go Private Transaction”). The Company elected pushdown accounting and applied the IQV's basis of accounting, reflecting the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of the Go Private Transaction date, unless otherwise required by U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2025 audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved for an other interim period or for the full year.

Accounting Policies and Estimates
See Note 1 to the 2025 audited consolidated financial statements for expanded discussion of accounting policies and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides lease and retail merchandise, consisting of appliances, electronics, furniture, and other home goods to its customers for lease under certain terms agreed to by the customer and through retail sales. The Company's Aaron's stores, aarons.com e-commerce platform, and BrandsMart Leasing components of the Aaron's Business offer leases with flexible ownership plans that can be generally renewed weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly up to 24 months. The Aaron's Business also earns revenue from the sale of merchandise to customers and Aaron's franchisees, and earns ongoing revenue from Aaron's franchisees in the form of royalties and through fees for advertising efforts that benefit the franchisees.
The Company's BrandsMart stores and related brandsmartusa.com e-commerce platform offer the sale of merchandise directly to its customers via retail sales.
See Note 3 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company's revenue recognition policies and disclosures.
Lease Merchandise
The Company’s lease merchandise is recorded at the lower of depreciated cost, including overhead costs from our distribution centers, or net realizable value. The Company begins depreciating furniture and appliances at the earlier of the lease date or 24 months and one day from its purchase, while all other lease merchandise begins depreciating at the earlier of when the merchandise is leased to the customer or 12 months and one day from its purchase. Lease merchandise fully depreciates over the lease agreement period when on lease, generally 12 to 24 months, and generally 36 months when not on lease. Depreciation is accelerated upon early payout.
The following is a summary of lease merchandise, net of accumulated depreciation and allowances:
| (In Thousands) | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Merchandise on Lease, net of Accumulated Depreciation and Allowances | $ | 423,045 | $ | 445,449 | ||||

| Lease Merchandise, net of Accumulated Depreciation and Allowances | $ | 610,539 | $ | 650,839 | ||||
The Aaron's store-based operations' policies require weekly merchandise counts at its store-based operations, which include write-offs for unsalable, damaged, or missing merchandise inventories. Monthly cycle counting procedures are performed at the Aaron's distribution centers. The Company also monitors merchandise levels and mix by division, store, and distribution center, as well as the average age of merchandise on hand. If obsolete merchandise cannot be returned to vendors, its carrying amount is adjusted to its net realizable value or written off. Generally, all merchandise not on lease is available for lease or sale. On a monthly basis, all damaged, lost or unsalable merchandise identified is written off and is included as a component of the provision for lease merchandise write-offs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss.
The Company records a provision for write-offs using the allowance method, which is included within lease merchandise, net within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 primarily on historical write-off experience. Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as seasonality and the impacts of uncertainty surrounding inflationary and other economic pressures in the current macroeconomic environment. Therefore, actual lease merchandise write-offs could differ from the allowance. The provision for write-offs is included in provision for lease merchandise write-offs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss. The Company writes off lease merchandise on lease agreements that are 60 days or more past due on pre-determined dates twice monthly. The Company writes off lease merchandise on lease agreements for its BrandsMart Leasing operations that are 90 days or more past due on pre-determined dates twice monthly.

Merchandise Inventories
The Company’s merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value, and consist entirely of merchandise held for sale by BrandsMart. In-bound freight-related costs from vendors, net of allowances and vendor rebates, are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Costs associated with storing and transporting merchandise inventories to our retail stores are expensed as incurred and included within retail cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of loss.
The Company periodically evaluates aged and distressed inventory and establishes an inventory markdown which represents the excess of the carrying value over the amount the Company expects to realize from the ultimate sale of the inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the inventory and are recorded within retail cost of sales within the condensed consolidated statements of loss. The write-offs of merchandise inventories associated with the Company's cycle and physical inventory count processes are also included within retail cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of loss. The Company records an inventory reserve for the anticipated loss associated with selling inventories below cost. This reserve is based on management’s current knowledge with respect to inventory levels, sales trends, and historical experience selling or disposing of aged or obsolete inventory.
The following is a summary of merchandise inventories, net of allowances:

Advertising
Advertising production costs are initially recognized as a prepaid advertising asset and are expensed when an advertisement appears for the first time. The prepaid advertising asset was $0.8 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is reported within prepaid expenses and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Total advertising costs are classified within other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of loss. These advertising costs are presented net of cooperative advertising considerations received from vendors, which represents reimbursement of specific, identifiable and incremental costs incurred in selling those vendors’ products, and are recorded as a reduction of advertising costs.
The following table shows total advertising costs, net of cooperative advertising considerations:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||

Acquisition-Related Costs
Acquisition-related costs of $7.6 million and $5.1 million were incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 respectively, and primarily represent third-party consulting and legal fees related to the upcoming transaction.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies as cash equivalents any highly liquid investments that have maturity dates of three months or less at the time they are purchased. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at various banks. Bank balances may exceed coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). However, due to the size and strength of the banks in which balances that exceed the FDIC coverage are held, any exposure to loss is believed to be minimal. Cash and cash equivalents also includes amounts in transit due from financial institutions related to credit card and debit card transactions, which generally settle within three business days from the original transaction.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
The following table shows supplemental cash flow information:

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables due from customers on lease agreements, corporate receivables incurred during the normal course of business (primarily for vendor consideration and third-party warranty providers) and franchisee obligations.
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, consist of the following:
| (In Thousands) | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Customers | $ | 13,059 | $ | 8,255 | ||||

| Franchisee | 10,564 | 12,445 | ||||||
| $ | 50,357 | $ | 33,055 | |||||
The Company maintains an accounts receivable allowance for the Aaron's Business customer lease agreements, under which its policy is to record a provision for returns and uncollectible contractually due renewal payments based on historical payments experience, which is recognized as a reduction of lease revenues and fees within the condensed consolidated statements of loss. Other qualitative factors are considered in estimating the allowance, such as current and forecasted business trends. The Company writes off customer lease receivables for its Aaron's Business operations that are 60 days or more past due on pre-determined dates twice monthly. The Company writes off customer lease receivables for its BrandsMart Leasing operations that are 90 days or more past due on pre-determined dates twice monthly.
The Company also maintains an allowance for outstanding franchisee accounts receivable. The Company's policy is to estimate future losses related to certain franchisees that are deemed to have a higher risk of non-payment and record an allowance for these estimated losses. The estimated allowance on franchisee accounts receivable includes consideration of the financial position of each franchisee and qualitative consideration of potential losses associated with uncertainties impacting the franchisee's ability to satisfy their obligations. Uncertainties include inflationary and other economic pressures in the current macroeconomic environment. Accordingly, actual accounts receivable write-offs could differ from the allowance. The provision for uncollectible franchisee accounts receivable is recorded as bad debt expense in other operating expenses, net within the condensed consolidated statements of loss.
The allowance related to corporate receivables is not significant as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The following table shows the components of the accounts receivable allowance:

Sales Taxes
The Company applies the net basis for sales taxes imposed on goods and services in the condensed consolidated statements of loss. The Company is required by the applicable governmental authorities to collect and remit sales taxes. Accordingly, such amounts are charged to the customer, collected, and remitted directly to the appropriate jurisdictional entity.
Estimated Claims Liability Costs
Estimated claims liability costs are accrued primarily for workers compensation and vehicle liability at the Aaron's Business entity level as well as general liability and group health insurance benefits provided to team members. These liabilities are recorded within estimated claims liability costs within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Estimates for these claims liabilities are made based on actual reported but unpaid claims and actuarial analysis of the projected claims run off for both reported and incurred but not reported claims. This analysis is based upon an assessment of the likely outcome or historical experience and considers a variety of factors, including the actuarial loss forecasts, company-specific development factors, general industry loss development factors and third-party claim administrator loss estimates of individual claims.
The Company makes periodic prepayments to its insurance carriers to cover the projected claims run off for both reported and incurred but not reported claims, considering its retention or stop loss limits. In addition, we have prefunding balances on deposit and other insurance receivables with the insurance carriers which are recorded within prepaid expenses and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 management’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are further described in Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2024-04) related to induced conversions of convertible debt instruments. The amendments in this update clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions rather than as debt extinguishments. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2026, and it did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU) 2025-05 related to the measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2026, and it did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effective in Future Periods
In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2023-09) related to income tax disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for private entities, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, the amendments would be first applicable to the Company’s year-end 2026 financial statements and are not applicable to the interim period ended June 30, 2026.
In October 2023, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2023-06) related to disclosure or presentation requirements for various subtopics in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification"). The amendments in the update are intended to align the requirements in the Codification with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") regulations and facilitate the application of GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment is the date on which the SEC removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or if the SEC has not removed the requirements by June 30, 2027, this amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Early adoption is prohibited. We are assessing the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2024-03) related to the reporting of comprehensive income - expense disaggregation disclosures. The amendments in this update creates new qualitative and quantitative income statement expense disclosure requirements for public business entities ("PBE")s, primarily through disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions into specific categories within the footnotes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments of this standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Lease Revenues and Fees
The Aaron's Business, which includes BrandsMart Leasing, provides lease merchandise, consisting of furniture, appliances, electronics, computers, and other home goods to their customers for lease under certain terms agreed to by the customer. The Aaron's Business offers leases with flexible ownership plans that can be generally renewed weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly up to 24 months and does not require deposits upon inception of customer agreements. The customer has the right to acquire ownership either through an early purchase option or through payment of all required lease payments through the end of the ownership plan. Aaron's also offers customers the option to obtain a membership in the Aaron’s Club program. Benefits of the Aaron’s Club program include lease protection, health & wellness discounts, and dining, shopping, and consumer savings. The Company also offers Aaron’s Protection Plus with additional lease protection benefits. These benefits are renewable period to period and are cancellable at any time by either party without penalty.
Lease revenues related to the leasing of merchandise, Aaron's Club membership fees, and Aaron's Protection Plus fees are recognized as revenue in the month they are earned. Payments received prior to the month earned are recorded as deferred lease revenue, and this amount is included in customer deposits and advance payments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Substantially all of the prior year deferred lease revenue was recognized in the current year according to lease terms. Lease payments due but not received prior to month end are recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease revenues are recorded net of a provision for returns and uncollectible renewal payments.

The Company's customer lease agreements are accounted for as operating leases. In accounting for its customer lease agreements as operating leases, the Company has considered that (1) the leases do not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (2) the leases do not grant the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; (3) the lease term is not for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments does not equal or exceed substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and (5) the underlying asset is not of a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the Company at the end of the lease term.
Substantially all lease revenues and fees were within the scope of ASC 842, Leases, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Generally, the transfer of control occurs near or at the point of sale for retail sales. Aaron's Business retail sales are not subject to a returns policy.
BrandsMart
Revenues from the retail sale of merchandise inventories are recorded within retail sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss and are recognized at a point in time that the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and transferred control of the product to the respective customer. Revenues associated with retail sales transactions for which control has not transferred are deferred and are recorded within customer deposits and advance payments within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all of the prior year deferred retail sales were recognized in the current year.
Retail sales at the BrandsMart business, both in store and online, are subject to a 30-day return policy. Accordingly, an allowance, based on historical returns experience, for sales returns is recorded as a component of retail sales in the period in which the related sales are recorded as well as an asset for the returned merchandise. The return asset and allowance for sales returns was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The return asset and allowance for sales returns was recorded within prepaid and other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Additional protection plans can be purchased by BrandsMart customers that provides extended warranty coverage on their product purchases, with payment being due for this protection at the point of sale.

Accordingly, the Company recognized a $7.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of $1.4 million of extinguishment fees paid to the lender and the write-off of $6.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss. In connection with the refinancing, the Company capitalized $3.1 million of new debt issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the facility.
Borrowings under the New Inventory ABL bear interest at Term SOFR plus applicable margins ranging from 4.75% to 15.0%, depending on the loan class. The effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 13.17% as of June 30, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $87.1 million and $58.0 million were outstanding under the New Inventory ABL.
Master Loan and Security Agreement (Overadvance Facility)
As part of the Go Private Transaction, the Company entered into a $40.0 million master loan and security agreement (the “Overadvance Facility”) in relation to and upon closing of the Go Private Transaction. The Overadvance Facility operates as a credit facility that allows the Company to purchase assets and is secured by a second lien on the Company’s leases and lease merchandise that secure the Loan Facility. The Overadvance Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2028.
In the event the Company is unable to meet their debt service payments or otherwise experiences an event of default, the Company would be unconditionally liable for the outstanding balance of the debt obligations under the Overadvance Facility, which would be immediately due in full upon an event of default.
Borrowings under the Overadvance Facility bear interest at a rate per annum as follows: (1) for Class A Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the Term SOFR plus the Class A applicable margin (14.8%); for Class A ABR Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the ABR plus the Class A applicable margin (14.8%); (2) for Class B Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the Term SOFR plus the Class B applicable margin (14.8%); for Class B ABR Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the ABR plus the Class B applicable margin (14.8%). The effective interest rate of the Overadvance Facility was 18.49% at June 30, 2026.
In October 2025, the first amendment incorporated Merger Agreement–related definitions. In November 2025, the commitment was increased from $40 million to $55 million, followed by a December 2025 amendment updating the repayment waterfall. In January 2026, the Company executed a fourth amendment increasing the commitment from $55 million to $65 million; no fees were incurred.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $63.8 million and $48.9 million were outstanding under the Overadvance Facility.

Under the Loan Facility, the Company may pay cash dividends in any year so long as, after giving pro forma effect to the dividend payment, the Company maintains compliance with its financial covenants and no event of default has occurred or would result from the payment.
Note 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is party to various legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, certain of which have been described below. 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 due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation, regulatory and similar adversarial proceedings, and 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.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company accrued $2.4 million and $1.7 million respectively, for pending legal and regulatory matters for which it believes losses are probable and is management’s best estimate of its exposure to loss. The Company records these liabilities in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Those matters for which a loss is reasonably possible but not probable and those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within these estimated ranges and, therefore, the estimated ranges do not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.
In Jacob Atkinson v. Aaron’s, LLC dba Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership, LLC, No. 23-2-19649, filed on October 11, 2023, currently pending in Washington state court, plaintiff alleges that the Company violated Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunity Act, RCW 49.58.110, because certain of the Company’s job postings did not include a wage scale or salary range. Because the statute is new, issues including standing, applicability as to who it covers, and the constitutionality of the statutory penalty have not been determined. Plaintiff seeks injunctive and declaratory relief and also seeks certification of a putative class. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made with reasonable accuracy.
The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such losses is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Other than as described above, there is no material pending or threatened litigation against the Company that remains outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
Other Contingencies
At June 30, 2026, the Company had non-cancelable commitments primarily related to certain advertising and marketing programs, software licenses, and hardware and software maintenance of $45.1 million. Payments under these commitments are scheduled to be $12.4 million in 2026, $14.0 million in 2027, $7.7 million in 2028, and $11.0 million thereafter.
Management regularly assesses the Company’s insurance deductibles, monitors 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.

Note 6: RESTRUCTURING
As management continues to execute on its long-term strategic plan, additional benefits and charges are expected to result from our restructuring program. The extent of any future charges related to our restructuring program are not currently estimable and depend on various factors including the timing and scope of future cost optimization initiatives.
Operational Efficiency and Optimization Restructuring Program
During the third quarter of 2022, The Aaron's Company initiated the Operational Efficiency and Optimization Restructuring Program intended to strengthen operational efficiencies and reduce The Aaron's Company’s overall costs. Management believes that this restructuring program will help The Aaron's Company sharpen its operational focus, optimize its cost profile, allocate capital resources towards long-term strategic objectives, and generate incremental value for shareholders through investments in technological capabilities, and fulfillment center logistics competencies. This program also includes the Hub and Showroom model to optimize labor in markets, store labor realignments, optimization of The Aaron's Company's supply chain, the centralization and optimization of store support center, operations, and multi-unit store oversight functions, as well as other real estate and third party spend costs reductions. The Company expects the program to end on December 31, 2026.
Total net restructuring expenses under the Operational Efficiency and Optimization Restructuring Program were recorded within the Restructuring Expenses line in the condensed consolidated statement of loss and amounted to $3.9 million and $5.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Such expenses were comprised mainly of professional advisory fees, severance, operating lease right-of-use asset impairment charges, fixed asset impairment charges and continuing variable occupancy costs incurred related to closed stores. Management expects future restructuring expenses (reversals) due to potential early buyouts of leases with landlords, as well as continuing variable occupancy costs related to closed stores.
Since inception of the Operational Efficiency and Optimization Restructuring Program, The Aaron's Company has incurred charges of $52.5 million under the plan through June 30, 2026. These cumulative charges are primarily comprised of operating lease right-of-use asset and fixed impairment charges, continuing variable occupancy costs incurred related to closed stores, professional advisory fees, and severance related to reductions in its store support center and Aaron's Business store oversight functions.
The following table summarizes restructuring charges incurred under the Company's restructuring programs:

Note 7: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Collateral Benefactor Agreements
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to collateral benefactor agreements (the "Collateral Benefactor Agreements") with certain funds managed by an entity controlled by IQ Business Finance, which provide credit support for potential workers' compensation liabilities. IQ Business Finance, is a holding company formerly controlled by affiliates of the Company. The affiliates sold their equity interests in IQ Business Finance in September 2025.
Under the Collateral Benefactor Agreements, certain funds managed by the controlled entity have agreed to provide credit support for workers' compensation claims up to $20 million and, in consideration therefor, the Company pays administrative and pledged collateral fees to such funds. This amount was deposited by the Company and presented within prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities. The Collateral Benefactor Agreements were subsequently amended and restated on January 3, 2025 where the $20 million in credit support was returned to the controlled entity. Total fees amounted to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and are recorded in other operating expenses, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of loss.
Note 8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management evaluated events occurring subsequent to the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements in determining the accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 11, 2026, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
On August 11, 2026, the previously announced Merger Agreement was completed. With the close of the Merger Agreement, the Company and CCFI, together with Katapult's operating business, are wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of Katapult Holdings, Inc.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the comparable prior-year period, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On June 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which IQVentures Holdings, LLC acquired The Aaron’s Company; the transaction was approved by shareholders on September 25, 2024, and closed on October 3, 2024, at which time the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of IQVentures Holdings, LLC, followed by a transfer of all equity interests to IQV Holdco (collectively, the “Go Private Transaction”). The Company elected pushdown accounting and applies the IQV's basis of accounting, reflecting the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of the Go Private Transaction date, unless otherwise required by U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2025 audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved for an other interim period or for the full year.
Macroeconomic and Business Environment
We continue to actively monitor the effects of a challenging macroeconomic environment—including inflation, elevated interest rates, moderated consumer demand, and evolving tax and immigration policies—on our business. These conditions have contributed to a higher cost of living relative to prior years, which we believe has disproportionately affected our customers, weighed on consumer confidence within our customer base, and moderated demand for our offerings. We expect these market dynamics may persist and could continue to pressure our business in the near term.
At the same time, the impact of these headwinds is expected to be partially offset by continued execution of the Company’s strategic initiatives, including the Operational Efficiency and Optimization Restructuring Program initiated in 2022. The Company has realized benefits from actions taken to date. The program remains ongoing, and additional benefits and related charges may be incurred as further cost optimization initiatives are implemented. The timing and magnitude of any future charges are not currently estimable and will depend on various factors, including the scope and cadence of future optimization efforts.
Our financial results are also moderately affected by seasonal changes. At the Aaron’s Business, the first quarter of each year generally has higher revenues as our customers more frequently exercise the early purchase option on their existing lease agreement or purchase merchandise during the first quarter of the year. At BrandsMart, the fourth quarter typically represents the highest quarterly revenues due to the holiday shopping season. Due to the seasonality of our businesses, results for any quarter or period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. For additional information related to the seasonality of our businesses, see “The Aaron’s Company Business–Seasonality” above.
Strategic Priorities
Our management team is committed to executing against the following strategic priorities to further transform and grow the overall business:
| • | Grow the Aaron’s Business Lease Portfolio Size – We are focused on expanding the size and value of the Aaron’s Business lease portfolio through a multi-faceted approach. Initiatives include increasing customer traffic to our stores and digital channels, refining our underwriting processes to ensure quality and efficiency, and deploying targeted retention programs to reduce churn. By optimizing these key factors, we aim to drive sustainable lease growth, enhance customer lifetime value, and further differentiate the Aaron’s Business in the marketplace. |
2
| • | Expand E-commerce Channels at both the Aaron’s Business and BrandsMart – Recognizing the evolving preferences of today’s consumer, we continue to invest in and expand our e-commerce capabilities across both the Aaron’s Business and BrandsMart. Efforts are underway to enhance the digital shopping experience by improving website navigation, streamlining the checkout process, and broadening our product assortment online. Management expects these initiatives to increase conversion rates, expand our customer base, and support incremental revenue growth in our omnichannel platforms. |
| • | Franchise Expansion – We see compelling opportunities for further growth by continuing to expand the Aaron’s Business footprint through franchise development. Our strategy encompasses supporting our current franchisees with new growth opportunities, as well as attracting new franchise partners in both existing and untapped markets. By leveraging our established brand, proven operating model, and robust support infrastructure, we intend to accelerate our franchise network expansion and bring our value proposition to more customers across diverse geographies. |
| • | Expense Management – We remain vigilant in our approach to cost optimization and expense management as a key driver of profitability. The management team is executing diligent cost control processes across all facets of the business to streamline operations and maintain an efficient expense structure. Through ongoing review of operating expenses, sourcing initiatives, and organizational efficiencies, we aim to enhance our operating margins while preserving investments in growth and innovation. |

1The typical layout for a Company-operated Aaron's store is a combination of showroom, customer service and warehouse space, generally comprising 6,000 to 15,000 square feet. Certain corporate-operated Aaron's stores consist solely of a showroom.
2BrandsMart stores average approximately 96,000 square feet.
Aaron's Business
Lease Portfolio Size. Our lease portfolio size for the Aaron’s Business, excluding BrandsMart Leasing, represents the total balance of collectible lease payments for the next month derived from our aggregate outstanding customer lease agreements at a point in time. Lease portfolio size provides management insight into expected future collectible lease payments. The Aaron’s Company ended the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 with a lease portfolio size for all corporate-operated Aaron’s stores of $113.6 million and $119.9 million, respectively.
Same-Store Revenues. We believe that changes in same store revenues, excluding BrandsMart Leasing, are a key performance indicator for the Aaron’s Business, as it provides management insight into our ability to collect customer payments, including contractually due payments and early purchase options exercised by our current customers. Additionally, this indicator allows management to gain insight into the Aaron’s Business’ success in writing new leases into and retaining current customers within our customer lease portfolio. This is calculated for all stores open for the entire 18-month period preceding the end of each reported period, excluding stores that received lease agreements from other acquired, closed or merged stores.
Same store revenues increased year-over year by 1.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
BrandsMart
Comparable Sales. We believe that change in comparable sales is a key performance indicator for BrandsMart as it provides management insight into the performance of existing stores and e-commerce business by measuring the change in sales for a particular period over the prior period. Comparable sales includes retail sales generated at BrandsMart stores (including retail sales to BrandsMart Leasing), e-commerce sales initiated on the website, warranty revenue, gift card breakage, and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers, as applicable. Comparable sales excludes service center related revenues.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, BrandsMart comparable sales decreased year-over-year by 10.2%.

Key Components of (Loss) Earnings Before Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the comparable prior year period, some of the key revenue, cost and expense items that affected loss before income taxes were as follows:
Revenues. We separate our total revenues into four components: (a) lease revenues and fees; (b) retail sales; (c) non-retail sales; and (d) franchise royalties and other revenues.
Lease revenues and fees primarily include all revenues derived from lease agreements at both our Aaron’s and BrandsMart Leasing brands and fees from our Aaron’s Club program and Aaron’s Protection Plus (“Aaron’s Protection+”). Lease revenues and fees are recorded net of a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable related to lease renewal payments from lease agreements with customers. Retail sales primarily include the sale of merchandise inventories from our BrandsMart operations and the related warranty revenues, as well as the sale of both new and pre-leased merchandise from our corporate-operated Aaron’s stores. Non-retail sales primarily represent new merchandise sales to our Aaron’s franchisees. Franchise royalties and other revenues primarily represent fees from the sale of franchise rights and royalty payments from franchisees, as well as other related income from our franchised stores. Franchise royalties and other revenues also include revenues from leasing corporate-owned real estate properties to unrelated third parties, as well as other miscellaneous revenues.
Depreciation of Lease Merchandise and Other Lease Revenue Costs. Depreciation of lease merchandise and other lease revenue costs is comprised of the depreciation expense associated with depreciating merchandise held for lease and leased to customers by our corporate-operated Aaron’s stores, aarons.com and BrandsMart Leasing, as well as the costs associated with the Aaron’s Club program.
Retail Cost of Sales. Retail cost of sales includes cost of merchandise inventories sold through our BrandsMart stores and the depreciated cost of merchandise sold through our corporate-operated Aaron’s stores.
Non-Retail Cost of Sales. Non-retail cost of sales primarily represents the cost of merchandise sold to our Aaron’s franchisees.
Personnel Costs. Personnel costs represents total compensation costs incurred for services provided by team members of the Aaron’s Company with the exception of compensation costs that are eligible for capitalization.
Other Operating Expenses, Net. Other operating expenses, net include occupancy costs (including rent expense, store maintenance and depreciation expense related to non-manufacturing facilities), shipping and handling, advertising and marketing, intangible asset amortization expense, professional services expense, bank and credit card related fees and other miscellaneous expenses. Other operating expenses, net also includes gains or losses on sales of Corporate-operated stores and delivery vehicles, fair value adjustments on assets held for sale and gains or losses on other transactions involving property, plant and equipment. Other operating expenses, net excludes costs that have been capitalized or that are a component of the Aaron’s Company’s restructuring programs.
Provision for Lease Merchandise Write-offs. Provision for lease merchandise write-offs represents charges incurred related to estimated and actual lease merchandise write-offs.
Restructuring Expenses, Net. Restructuring expenses, net are comprised principally of closed store operating lease right-of-use asset impairment and operating lease charges, fixed asset impairment charges, professional advisory fees, and expenses related to workforce reductions. Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for further discussion of restructuring expenses, net.
Acquisition-Related Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, acquisition-related costs primarily represent third-party consulting and legal expenses.
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on the Aaron’s Company’s fixed and variable rate borrowings as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Other non-operating income (expense), net includes the impact of foreign currency remeasurement, as well as gains and losses resulting from changes in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance related to the Aaron’s Company’s deferred compensation plan. This activity also includes earnings on cash and cash equivalent investments.

Revenues
Total consolidated revenues were $986.0 million and $1,009.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was driven by a 10.2% year-over-year decline in comparable sales at BrandsMart, partially offset by a 1.5% year-over-year increase in same-store revenues at the Aaron's Business.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit increased $5.5 million to $542.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $536.9 million in the prior year period, and gross margin improved to 55.0% from 53.2%. The improvement was driven by strategic inventory initiatives, partially offset by the same factors affecting revenue.
As a percentage of total consolidated revenues, consolidated gross profit was 55.0% and 53.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Operating Expenses
Personnel Costs. Personnel costs decreased $18.7 million, or 7.7%, to $223.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $241.9 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the optimization of store support and operational oversight functions initiated in 2025 at BrandsMart, lower store-based incentive compensation at the Aaron's Business, and lower benefit costs at both businesses.
Other Operating Expenses, Net. Information about certain significant components of other operating expenses, net for the consolidated Company is as follows:

As a percentage of total revenues, other operating expenses, net was 23.8% and 22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs were $30.7 million and $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by higher vehicle maintenance, depreciation, and fuel costs due to increased gas prices, partially offset by lower merchandise delivery and return volumes at the Aaron's Business.
Advertising costs amounted to $23.8 million and $18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Advertising costs in the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased due to higher planned spend at BrandsMart and lower application of vendor credits to offset advertising spend at both businesses.
Other miscellaneous expenses, net primarily represent the depreciation of IT-related property, plant and equipment, software licensing expenses, franchisee-related reserves, and other expenses. The increase in this category during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by higher software licensing fees, insurance costs and depreciation.
Provision for Lease Merchandise Write-Offs. The provision for lease merchandise write-offs as a percentage of lease revenues and fees was 6.5% and 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The fair value revaluation of lease merchandise inventory assets during the Go Private Transaction Purchase Price Allocation process resulted in lower write-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to six months ended June 30, 2026.
Restructuring Expenses, Net. Restructuring activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, resulted in expenses of $3.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Restructuring activity in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by operating lease charges related to BrandsMart locations identified for closure and severance costs. For the prior year period, restructuring expenses primarily comprised of $4.1 million of severance related to the optimization of store support and operational support functions, $3.7 million fixed asset impairment for corporate-operated Aaron’s stores identified for closure in the prior year period, and partially offset by the reversal of $(2.0) million of operating lease charges.

Acquisition-Related Costs. Acquisition-related costs recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $7.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and primarily represent third-party consulting, banking and legal expenses related to the Mergers.
Operating Profit
Interest Expense. Interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $59.8 million and $53.5 million respectively. Interest expense consists primarily of interest in the Aaron’s Company’s fixed and variable rate borrowings as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Other non-operating income (expense), net includes (a) net gains and losses resulting from changes in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance related to the Aaron’s Company’s deferred compensation plan; (b) the impact of foreign currency remeasurement; and (c) earnings on cash and cash equivalent investments. The changes in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance resulted in net gains of $0.4 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Income Tax Benefit
The Aaron’s Company recorded net income tax benefits of $7.2 million and $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.1% and 47.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The net income tax benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to a loss before income taxes of $31.2 million and the impact of a deferred income tax benefit of $3.3 million related to a reduction in the valuation allowance and the impact of permanent differences, including transaction costs, on the annual effective tax rate. The net income tax benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a loss before income taxes of $20.1 million and the impact of a deferred income tax benefit of $4.3 million related to a reduction in the valuation allowance.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which includes changes to U.S. federal income tax provisions, some of which became effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The legislation did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Overview of Financial Position
The primary changes in the consolidated balance sheet from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 include:
| • | Cash and cash equivalents increased $47.5 million to $112.4 million in June 30, 2026. For additional information, refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below. |
| • | Property, Plant and Equipment increased by $3.1 million to $143.7 million in June 30, 2026. |
| • | Debt increased $32.0 million primarily due to the refinancing of the Inventory ABL completed on April 30, 2026, which provided the Company with access to additional funding. Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below for further details regarding the Company's financing arrangements. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary uses of capital have historically consisted of (a) buying merchandise; (b) personnel expenditures; (c) purchases of property, plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements for our new store concept and operating model; (d) expenditures related to corporate operating activities; (e) income tax payments; and (f) expenditures for acquisitions.
Over the next 12 months, and thereafter, we expect to finance our primary capital requirements through cash flows from operations, and as necessary, borrowings under our Master Loan and Security Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Inventory ABL, and Overadvance Facility (each as defined below). These facilities provide a $475.0 million master loan (the “Master Loan and Security Agreement”), a $128.3 million term loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”), $120.0 million credit agreement (the “Inventory ABL”) and $65 million master loan and security agreement (the “Overadvance Facility”).
As of June 30, 2026, the Aaron’s Company had $112.4 million of cash and $20.0 million of availability under its credit facilities, including $5.0 million under a swingline, which is further described in Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $67.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash used in operating activities was $40.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The improvement in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by inventory efficiencies at both businesses.
Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Cash provided by investing activities was $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities was primarily driven by the inclusion of $16.6 million of proceeds from the sale of the Woodhaven Furniture Industries business and a corporate aircraft in 2025 as well as an $8.3 million reduction in capital expenditures in 2026.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $6.0 million and $11.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by an increase in net borrowing in 2026 compared to the same period of 2025.
Debt Financing
As of June 30, 2026, the total available credit under the credit facilities was $20.0 million, which reflects borrowings of $398.9 million under the Master Loan and Security Agreement, $110.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement, $87.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the Inventory ABL, and approximately $63.8 million under our Overadvance Facility.
In the event the Aaron’s Company is unable to meet its debt service payments or otherwise experiences an event of default, the Aaron’s Company would be unconditionally liable for the outstanding balances of the debt obligations under the Master Loan and Security Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Inventory ABL and Overadvance Facility, which would be immediately due in full upon an event of default. Management believes the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the each of the Master Loan and Security Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Inventory ABL, and Overadvance Facility as of June 30, 2026.
Master Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Facility)
As part of the Go Private Transaction, the Aaron’s Company entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement at closing, providing a credit facility secured by lease agreements and related lease merchandise, with a maturity date of September 30, 2028. The facility was upsized to $475 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to support growth in the Aaron’s lease portfolio.
Borrowings under the Master Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum as follows: (1) for Class A Advances, the greater of 6.5% and the Term SOFR plus the Class A applicable margin (4.5%); for Class A ABR Advances, the greater of 6.5% and the ABR plus the Class A applicable margin (4.5%); (2) for Class B-1 Advances, the greater of 11.0% and the Term SOFR plus the Class B-1 applicable margin (9.0%); for Class B-1 ABR Advances, the greater of 11.0% and the ABR plus the Class B-1 applicable margin (9.0%); (3) for Class B-2 Advances, the greater of 14.5% and the Term SOFR plus the Class B-2 applicable margin (12.5%); for Class B-2 ABR Advances, the greater of 14.5% and the ABR plus the Class B-2 applicable margin (12.5%); and (4) for Class C Advances, the greater of 16.75% and the Term SOFR plus the Class C applicable margin (14.75%); for Class C ABR Advances, the greater of 16.75% and the ABR plus the Class C applicable margin (14.75%). The effective interest rate of the Loan Facility was 13.16% at June 30, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, $398.9 million was outstanding under the Master Loan and Security Agreement.
Term Loan Agreement (Term Loan)
As part of the Go Private Transaction, the Company entered into a $125.0 million term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) at closing, secured by the Company’s assets and interests not pledged on a first-lien basis, with a maturity date of October 2, 2029.
In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, IQV Holdco issued Warrants to certain lenders under the Term Loan ("Warrant Holders"). The Warrants have a 10-year exercise period and are exercisable into Class W Units of Holdco, LLC (the “Class W Units”) at the option of the Warrant Holder. The Warrants had a fair value of $1.7 million when issued. While the Company is not party to the Warrants arrangements, the Warrants were issued as an inducement to the Warrant Holders.
9
Management determined this inducement represented a financing cost of obtaining the Term Loan. The Company recorded the fair value of the Warrants as a reduction of the Term Loan carrying value with an offset to additional paid in capital.
On July 30, 2025, the Company executed the first amendment to the Term Loan to increase the delay draw term loan maximum commitment by $3.3 million, from $35.0 million to $38.3 million. On October 23, 2025, the Company executed a second amendment to incorporate definitions related to the Merger Agreement.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a fixed rate per annum of 16.50%. As of June 30, 2026, $110.1 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement.
Credit Agreement (Inventory ABL)
As part of the Go Private Transaction, the Company entered into the Inventory ABL credit facility at closing, secured by merchandise inventory at its BrandsMart and Aaron’s locations, with a maturity date of October 1, 2027.
On December 31, 2024, the Company executed the first amendment to the Inventory ABL to update excess cash requirements. On June 13, 2025, the Company executed a second amendment to update permitted specified dividend definitions and related schedules. On December 11, 2025, the Company executed a third amendment to update loan termination triggers and related termination fees. The Company capitalized $1.2 million of fees associated with this amendment.
On April 2, 2026, the Company entered into a second amended and restated fee letter related to its Inventory ABL Facility, which increased certain fees applicable to prepayments, terminations, or refinancing through May 1, 2026. Fees of $4.8 million associated with the amendment were capitalized.
On April 30, 2026, the Company amended and restated its Inventory ABL Facility, replacing the lender syndicate, increasing total commitments to $122.0 million, and extending the maturity date to September 30, 2028 (the “New Inventory ABL”). Proceeds from the New Inventory ABL were used to repay the existing facility in full. The transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment under ASC 470. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $7.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of $1.4 million of extinguishment fees paid to the lender and the write-off of $6.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of loss. In connection with the refinancing, the Company capitalized $3.1 million of new debt issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the facility.
Borrowings under the New Inventory ABL bear interest at Term SOFR plus applicable margins ranging from 4.75% to 15.0%, depending on the loan class. The effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 13.17% as of June 30, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, $87.1 million was outstanding under the New Inventory ABL.
Master Loan and Security Agreement (Overadvance Facility)

The Company executed multiple amendments to the Overadvance Facility during 2025 and early 2026. In October 2025, the first amendment incorporated Merger Agreement–related definitions. In November 2025, the commitment was increased from $40 million to $55 million, followed by a December 2025 amendment updating the repayment waterfall. In January 2026, the Company executed a fourth amendment increasing the commitment from $55 million to $65 million; no fees were incurred.
The Overadvance Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2028.
10
Borrowings under the Overadvance Facility bear interest at a rate per annum as follows: (1) for Class A Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the Term SOFR plus the Class A applicable margin (14.8%); for Class A ABR Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the ABR plus the Class A applicable margin (14.8%); (2) for Class B Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the Term SOFR plus the Class B applicable margin (14.8%); for Class B ABR Advances, the greater of 16.8% and the ABR plus the Class B applicable margin (14.8%).

Financial Covenants
The Loan Facility, Overadvance Facility, and Term Loan contain customary financial covenants including (a) minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00, (b) maximum Leverage Ratio for each respective fiscal quarter as outlined in the agreement, (c) minimum liquidity of at least $30.0 million, and (d) minimum Tangible Asset Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00. In addition, the Term Loan contains an additional financial covenant for a minimum Portfolio Value of at least $310 million in merchandise book value on a rolling four month average at the end of each calendar month.
The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2026. If the Company were to fail to comply with these covenants, it would be in default under these agreements and all borrowings outstanding could become due immediately. Under the Loan Facility, the Company may pay cash dividends in any year so long as, after giving pro forma effect to the dividend payment, the Company maintains compliance with its financial covenants and no event of default has occurred or would result from the payment.
Commitments
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into various arrangements that obligate us to make future payments, including debt agreements, operating leases, and other purchase obligations. The future cash commitments owed under these arrangements generally fluctuate in the normal course of business as we, for example, borrow on or pay down our revolving lines of credit, make scheduled payments on leases or purchase obligations, and renegotiate arrangements or enter into new arrangements. There were no material changes outside the normal course of business in our material cash commitments and contractual obligations from those reported as of December 31, 2025 in the consolidated financial statements included in the Form S-4.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are estimates made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that involve a significant level of management estimation and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the actual results may differ materially from such estimates. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and Purchase Accounting, see Notes 1 and 2 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Insurance
We retain a substantial portion of the risk related to employee health, workers’ compensation and general liability claims. However, we maintain stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure related to certain insurance risks. We base our health insurance liability estimation trends in claim payment history, historical trends in claims incurred but not yet reported and other components such as expected increases in medical costs, projected premium costs and the number of plan participants.
Additionally, we base our estimates for workers’ compensation, general and product liability on an actuarial analysis performed by an independent third-party actuary. We review our insurance liability on a regular basis and adjust our accruals accordingly.
Changes in facts and circumstances may lead to a change in the estimated liability due to revisions of the estimated ultimate costs that affect our liability insurance coverage. Our liabilities could be significantly affected if actual results differ from our expectations or prior actuarial analyses.

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF
KATAPULT HOLDINGS, INC.
Certain terms used below, but not otherwise defined, in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and information statement filed on June 18, 2026.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the financial information of CCFI (as the accounting acquirer), adjusted to give effect to the Mergers and the Contributions, a financing agreement for a senior secured delayed draw term loan, which was funded at closing, and an increased commitment on the Sparrow Term Loan (the “Debt Financing”), Purchase of Preferred Stock (as defined below), and the exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants (collectively the “Transactions”). The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Transactions had occurred on June 30, 2026, and the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 are presented to give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2025. The historical consolidated financial statements of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult have been adjusted to depict the accounting for the Transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. All adjustments are preliminary and subject to change. The pro forma adjustments include those related to the accounting for the Mergers and the Contributions (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”), the Debt Financing (“Financing Adjustments”), the Purchase of Preferred Stock, and the exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants (collectively, the “Adjustments”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined organization’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined organization’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma adjustments may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. It is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material.
The Mergers and the Contributions, Debt Financing, and Purchase of Preferred Stock are each described in detail below.
The Mergers and the Contributions
On December 11, 2025, Katapult entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, CCFI, and Aaron’s, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Aaron’s, (ii) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into CCFI and (iii) upon the consummation of the Mergers, each of Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 ceased to exist, and each of Aaron’s and CCFI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Katapult.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:
| a) | Immediately prior to the Aaron’s Merger Effective Time and subject to all conditions to Closing being met, the Aaron’s MIP Holders contributed and assigned to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the Aaron’s MIP Holders, the Aaron’s MIP Units in exchange for 943,579 shares of Katapult common stock. The aggregate equity interests of Aaron’s outstanding as of immediately prior to the Aaron’s Merger Effective Time were collectively converted solely into the right to receive an aggregate of 12,312,815 shares of Katapult Common Stock, inclusive of the 943,579 shares from the Aaron’s Contribution. Any shares of common stock of Aaron’s held as treasury stock or held or owned by Aaron’s, Merger Sub 1, Aaron’s MIP Holdings, LLC or any subsidiary of Aaron’s immediately prior to the Aaron’s Merger Effective Time were canceled and retired and ceased to exist, and no consideration was delivered. |
| b) | Immediately prior to the CCFI Merger Effective Time and subject to all conditions to closing being met, the CCFI MIP Holders contributed and assigned to Katapult, and Katapult assumed and acquired from the CCFI MIP Holders, the CCFI MIP Equity in exchange for 11,022,034 shares of Katapult Common Stock. The aggregate equity interests of CCFI outstanding as of immediately prior to the CCFI Merger Effective Time were collectively converted solely into the right to receive an aggregate of 69,772,607 shares of Katapult Common Stock, inclusive of the 11,022,034 shares from the CCFI Contribution and 2,385,280 shares of Katapult Stock to which previous holders of CCFI phantom restricted units are entitled to receive twelve (12) months following the closing of the Transactions. Any of the CCFI Units held in treasury or held or owned by CCFI, Merger Sub 2 or any subsidiary of CCFI immediately prior to the CCFI Merger Effective Time were canceled and retired and ceased to exist, and no consideration was delivered. |
Following the close of the transaction on August 11, 2026, the existing Katapult stockholders, CCFI unitholders and Aaron’s stockholders held 5.9%, 80.0% and 14.1%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding shares (based on 5,137,329 outstanding shares of Katapult Common Stock as of June 30, 2026, inclusive of the exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants and cancellation of Katapult Common Stock pursuant to earn out conditions triggered by the Mergers) of the combined organization.
See the table below for the amount of issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of Katapult on an actual and pro forma basis upon consummation of the Mergers and the Contributions.
| Amount | ||||
| Katapult Common Stock issued and outstanding as of 6/30/2026 | 4,792,405 | |||
| Katapult Common Stock issued for exercise of Katapult Private Warrants | 645,247 | |||
| Estimated total Katapult Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to earn out conditions triggered by the Mergers | (300,323 | ) | ||
| Estimated total Katapult Common Stock to be held by Aaron’s equityholders | 12,312,815 | |||
| Estimated total Katapult Common Stock to be held by CCFI equityholders | 69,772,607 | |||
| Total estimated pro forma Katapult Common Stock | 87,222,751 | |||
| Amount | ||||
| Katapult Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of 6/30/2026 | 65,000 | |||
| Purchase of Preferred Stock | (65,000 | ) | ||
| Total estimated pro forma Katapult Preferred Stock | - | |||
The Mergers will be accounted for as reverse mergers using the acquisition method of accounting, pursuant to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with Katapult treated as the legal acquirer and CCFI treated as the accounting acquirer of Katapult and Aaron’s. CCFI has been determined to be the accounting acquirer primarily based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
| • | Previous CCFI unitholders have the largest portion of voting rights in the combined organization, holding 80.0% of the shares of the combined entity based on 5,137,329 outstanding shares of Katapult Common Stock as of June 30, 2026 and inclusive of the exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants and cancellation of Katapult Common Stock pursuant to earn out conditions triggered by Mergers; |
| • | CCFI controls the Board of Directors of the combined organization with six of the ten-member board being designees selected by CCFI, including the Chairman of the Board being the previous CCFI CEO; and |
| • | CCFI is considered the largest of the three entities when considering net income and enterprise value. |
ASC 805 requires the allocation of the purchase price consideration to the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, the total purchase price to acquire Aaron’s and Katapult will be allocated to the assets acquired and assumed liabilities of Aaron’s and Katapult based upon their fair values. Any excess amounts, after allocating the purchase consideration to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, will be recorded as goodwill; however, the net assets of CCFI will continue to be recognized at historical cost. The process of valuing the net assets of Aaron’s and Katapult at the closing date, the allocation of the consideration transferred, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary and represents the current best estimate and is subject to revision. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using preliminary estimates, and actual results may differ materially from the information presented.
Debt Financing
In connection with the Closing, on August 11, 2026, Katapult entered into a term loan agreement for senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, consisting of (i) an initial term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $121.7 million, which was funded in full on August 11, 2026, and (ii) a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $78.0 million. Borrowings under the term loan agreement bear interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum payable in cash and 5.0% per annum payable as paid-in-kind interest.
Further, in connection with the Transactions, on August 10, 2026, CCFI entered into a fifth amendment to the agreement for the Sparrow Term Loan to amend certain covenants and provisions. The primary provisions of this amendment increased the maximum commitment by $25.0 million to $75.0 million, increased the blended interest rate to 16.6%, and extended the maturity date.
The Debt Financing, together with cash on hand, is assumed to be sufficient for purposes of financing the expenses in connection with the Transactions. These assumptions and expectations are subject to change, and the debt issuance costs to be incurred and related interest expense could vary significantly from what is assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Other factors that are subject to change include, but are not limited to, the timing of borrowings, the amount of cash on hand at the time of the closing, and inputs to interest rate determination on debt instruments issued.
Purchase of Preferred Stock
Additionally, on November 3, 2025, Katapult Intermediate Holdings Inc. entered into (a) a Series A investment agreement with Hawthorn, pursuant to which Katapult issued and sold to Hawthorn an aggregate of 35,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to Katapult of $35.0 million, and (b) a Series B investment agreement with Hawthorn, pursuant to which Katapult issued and sold to Hawthorn an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to Katapult of $30.0 million.
After giving effect to $1.1 million of issuance costs, Katapult received net proceeds of $63.9 million, which were used to repay existing debt and related legal fees, with the remaining proceeds being used by Katapult to sustain its operations. Of the total net proceeds, $11.3 million was allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and $16.6 million was allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock. Further, the contingent redemption feature and the conversion feature of the Preferred Stock represented a compound embedded derivative that was bifurcated from the host preferred stock and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, initially measured at its issuance-date fair value of $31.0 million. The remainder of the net proceeds was allocated to the Katapult Private Warrants. As of June 30, 2026, the derivative liability was remeasured at a fair value of $8.7 million, and Katapult recognized a gain of $4.9 million and $17.4 million due to the change in fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The issuance of Preferred Stock and use of proceeds, along with the remeasurement of the derivative liability, are reflected in Katapult’s historical financials.
On December 11, 2025, a side-letter agreement was signed between Katapult and Hawthorn in which Hawthorn agreed to sell all 65,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Katapult, effective immediately prior to the Aaron’s MIP Exchange (“Purchase of Preferred Stock”).
In connection with the Closing, on August 11, 2026, Katapult entered into a term loan agreement for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $74.7 million to fund the Purchase of the Preferred Stock. Borrowings under the term loan agreement bear interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum.
Upon completion of the Purchase of the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock and related derivative liability are no longer outstanding. The Hawthorn Side Letter also required that Hawthorn exercise the Katapult Private Warrants to purchase common stock of Katapult expiring March 6, 2030, as re-issued on July 21, 2025, and expiring June 12, 2032, issued on June 12, 2025, on a cashless basis in full for 645,247 shares of Katapult Common Stock, and Katapult shall issue such shares of Katapult Common Stock, such that, as of immediately prior to each of the Aaron’s MIP Exchange and the CCFI MIP Exchange, no Katapult Private Warrants were outstanding. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the issuance of a new $75.0 million debt instrument, settlement of the Preferred Stock and embedded derivative liability, and exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants.

Note 1. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presents the combined organization’s pro forma financial condition and results of operations based upon the historical financial information after giving effect to the Transactions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined organization upon consummation of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, tax savings, or revenue enhancements that the combined organization may achieve as a result of the business combination.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 is presented as if the Transactions had been completed on June 30, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 are presented to give effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2025, and were prepared using the historical results of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance under ASC 805, with CCFI as the accounting acquirer for the Mergers. Under ASC 805, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at the merger date fair value. Transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, the merger consideration allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Transactions are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that each of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult believes are reasonable under the circumstances. In determining the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Aaron’s and Katapult, publicly available benchmarking information was used as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. The pro forma purchase price allocation relating to the Mergers is preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the valuations will not result in material changes to this purchase price allocation. Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total acquisition consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization expense of the adjusted assets. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the following notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material. Each of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the business combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Note 2. Accounting Policies and Reclassifications
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of financial information to identify differences in accounting policies and financial statement presentation between CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult. At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, other than the reclassifications described herein, management is not aware of any material policy differences. However, the combined organization will continue to perform its detailed review of CCFI’s, Aaron’s and Katapult’s accounting policies. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult that when conformed could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The reclassifications summarized below conform the presentation of CCFI, Aaron’s and Katapult to reflect financial statement line items and presentation of the combined organization.

Note 3. Calculation of Merger Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The accounting for the Mergers is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. The final accounting for the Mergers may differ materially from that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Refer to the following table for the preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred:
Consideration Transferred
| (in thousands, except per share data; figures below may not foot due to rounding of shares) | Amount | |||
| Aaron’s common stock to be converted to Katapult common stock(1) | 11,369 | |||
| Aaron’s MIP units to be converted to Katapult common stock(1) | 944 | |||
| Estimated total shares held by Aaron’s | 12,313 | |||
| Katapult market price as of August 11, 2026 | $ | 6.48 | ||
| Total estimated merger consideration for Aaron’s | $ | 79,787 | ||
| Katapult estimated outstanding common shares at close | 5,137 | |||
| Katapult market price as of August 11, 2026 | $ | 6.48 | ||
| Estimated fair value of Katapult outstanding common stock(2) | $ | 33,290 | ||
| Settlement of Katapult Director RSUs (3) | 828 | |||
| Pre-combination value of vested portion of RSUs (4) | 90 | |||
| Total estimated merger consideration for Katapult | $ | 34,208 | ||
| Total estimated mergers consideration | $ | 113,995 | ||
(1) Represents approximately 12,312,815 shares of new Katapult common stock estimated to be issued to Aaron’s equity holders for common stock and Aaron’s MIP units per the Merger Agreement.
(2) Excludes the Katapult Preferred Stock which will be repurchased through the issuance of $75.0 million of new indebtedness but includes the issuance of shares of Katapult common stock upon the cashless exercise of the Katapult Private Warrants.
(3) Represents the cash settlement of unvested restricted stock units granted to Katapult Directors (the “Katapult Director RSUs”) as of the closing date based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Contribution and Exchange Agreements.
(4) Represents the pre-combination value of unvested Katapult RSUs attributable to pre-combination services as of the closing date of the Mergers and the Contributions.
The fair value of merger consideration has been estimated based on the number of Katapult common shares issued or retained and the per share opening price of Katapult’s common stock as of August 11, 2026 on NASDAQ, as this is more readily determinable than the per unit price of CCFI units, as CCFI, the accounting acquirer, was a private entity prior to the Mergers and the Contributions.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets of Aaron’s and Katapult and the allocation of the estimated fair value of consideration transferred to these identifiable assets and liabilities is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the combined organization has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations which will be within a year of the closing date. The actual fair value of consideration transferred may be materially different to that reflected in the preliminary estimated consideration allocation presented herein. Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the allocation of total consideration to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined organization statement of operations due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets.
The following preliminary purchase price allocation table presents the combined organization’s preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at Closing.
| Estimated fair value | ||||||||

| Goodwill | 91,546 | 46,566 | ||||||
| Fair value of consideration transferred | $ | 79,787 | $ | 34,208 | ||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. Goodwill recognized in the Mergers is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

| (5C) | Reflects the reduction of Cost of lease revenues of $17.0 million and $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, for the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment for lease merchandise of Aaron’s. Cost of merchandise sales decreased by $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment for merchandise inventories of Aaron’s. The sale of Aaron’s merchandise inventory is expected to occur within twelve months of the Transaction close date. As such, no pro forma adjustment is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Further, the adjustment reflects the increase of Cost of lease revenues of $3.6 million for the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment for lease merchandise of Katapult for the year ended December 31, 2025. The depreciation of Katapult’s lease merchandise is expected to occur within twelve months of the Transaction close date. As such, no pro forma adjustment is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2026. |
| (5D) | Reflects estimated one-time, non-recurring transaction-related expenses of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 directly associated with the Mergers, including legal fees, advisory fees and closing costs incurred by CCFI and D&O tail policy fees for each entity. The transaction-related expenses are expected to be incurred within the first twelve months after the close of the Transaction. As such, no pro forma adjustment is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2026. |
| (5E) | Reflects the reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.6 million directly associated with the Mergers and the Contributions as a result of the remeasurement of outstanding Katapult RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. |
| (5F) | Reflects estimated income tax expense of $6.2 million and income tax benefit of $38.4 million related to the Transaction Accounting Adjustments for six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. Tax-related adjustments are based upon an estimated US statutory tax rate. The estimated blended tax rate used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will likely vary from the actual tax rates in periods as of and subsequent to the completion of the Mergers. Because Aaron’s and Katapult will be included in CCFI’s consolidated tax return following the acquisition, CCFI assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets and recorded a corresponding valuation allowance adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as a nonrecurring adjustment. |
| (5G) | Represents the adjustment to the combined organization’s personnel costs of $12.3 million to record one-time post-combination compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2025. Compensation costs include severance benefits, retention bonuses, and $5.4 million related to a bonus payment under the CCFI CIC Plan. The post-combination compensation costs are expected to be incurred within the first twelve months after the close of the Transaction. As such, no pro forma adjustment is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2026. |
| (5H) | Represents the elimination of net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, to reflect the acquisition of CCFI MIP Equity as a result of the Mergers and the Contributions |
Note 6. Purchase of Preferred Stock
As described above, on December 11, 2025, a side-letter agreement was signed between Katapult and Hawthorn in which Hawthorn sold all shares of Katapult Preferred Stock to Katapult. In connection with the Closing, Katapult entered into a term loan agreement with an aggregate principal amount of $74.7 million to fund the purchase of the Katapult Preferred Stock. With the issuance of the $74.7 million loan, Katapult repurchased all 65,000 preferred shares from Hawthorn, which eliminated Katapult’s preferred shares at their carrying value of $27.9 million, as well as the $8.7 million derivative liability. The loan is presented net of issuance costs of $2.4 million. The following adjustments were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2026 | |||
| Debt, net | $ | 72,327 | ||
| Derivative liability | (8,700 | ) | ||
