NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Nature of Operations

CURO is a growth-oriented, technology-enabled, highly-diversified consumer finance company serving a wide range of underbanked consumers in the United States ("U.S."), Canada and, through February 25, 2019, the U.K.

U.K. Segment Placed into Administration

On February 25, 2019, the Company announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2019, would not be implemented. In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries, Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively, “the U.K. Subsidiaries”), insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place their management, affairs, business and property under the direct control of the Administrators. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries as of February 25, 2019 and presented the U.K. Subsidiaries as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q.

Basis of Presentation

The terms ~~“CURO," "CGHC," "we,” “our,” “us,”~~“CURO" and the ~~“Company,”~~“Company” refer to CURO Group Holdings Corp. and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a ~~combined~~consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated. The term "CFTC" refers to CURO Financial Technologies Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ~~CURO,~~the Company, and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~have been prepared~~("Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and with the accounting policies described in ~~our 2017~~its Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~ 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 18, 2019 ("2018 Form 10-K"). Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in ~~our~~ annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although ~~we believe~~the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. Additionally, in September 2018, and subsequently expanded in June 2019, the SEC changed the definition of a smaller reporting company ("SRC"). The change in definition of an SRC allows more registrants to qualify to report under scaled disclosure requirements. Under these rules, CURO met the definition of an SRC as of June 30, 2019. Refer to "--FASB Definition of an SRC as related to the CECL standard and evaluation of the impact of the CECL standard" for information regarding the impact on the Company of meeting the definition of an SRC.

The ~~unaudited~~ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes ~~(the “Interim Statements”)~~ reflect all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly ~~our~~the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. On February 25, 2019, the Company's United Kingdom ("U.K.") segment, as defined by ASC 280, was placed into administration, resulting in the treatment of it as discontinued operations per ASC 205-20. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), current and prior-period financial information presents the U.K. segment as discontinued operations as required. For further information about the placement of the segment into administration, refer to "--Nature of Operations" below.

The ~~adjustments consist solely of normal recurring adjustments. The Interim~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in ~~our 2017 Annual Report on~~the 2018 Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or for the ~~entire~~ year ending December 31, ~~2018.~~

We completed our initial public offering ("IPO") in December 2017. Prior to our IPO we filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation that effected a 36-for-1 split of our common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the stock split as if the stock split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. We have elected to take advantage of these reduced reporting and other requirements available to us.2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CURO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company invested an additional $6.6 million in Cognical Holdings, Inc. ("Zibby"), offset by a $3.7 million carrying value adjustment as a result of the additional investment. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned 42.3% of Zibby. See Note 8 - "Fair Value Measurements" for additional detail on Zibby's fair value considerations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Some of the significant estimates that ~~we have~~the Company made in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for loan losses, certain assumptions related to equity investments, goodwill and intangibles, accruals related to self-insurance, ~~Credit Services Organization~~credit services organization ("CSO") ~~guarantee~~ liability for losses, and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

~~Nature of Operations~~Open-End Loss Recognition

WeEffective January 1, 2019, the Company modified the timeframe for which it charges-off Open-End loans and made related refinements to its loss provisioning methodology. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company deemed Open-End loans uncollectible and charged-off when a customer missed a scheduled payment and the loan was considered past-due. Because of the continued shift to Open-End loans in Canada and analysis of payment patterns on early-stage versus late-stage delinquencies, the Company revised its estimates and now considers Open-End loans uncollectible when the loan has been contractually past-due for 90 consecutive days. Consequently, past-due Open-End loans and related accrued interest now remain in loans receivable for 90 days before being charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. All recoveries on charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Quarterly, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

The aforementioned change was treated as a ~~growth-oriented, technology-enabled, highly-diversified consumer finance company serving~~change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively effective January 1, 2019.

The change affects comparability with prior periods as follows:

Gross combined loans receivable: balances as of September 30, 2019 include $46.1 million of Open-End loans that are up to 90 days past-due with related accrued interest, while such balances for periods prior to March 31, 2019 do not include any past-due loans.

Revenues: for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross revenues include interest earned on past-due loan balances of approximately $15 million and $35 million, respectively, while revenues in prior-year periods do not include comparable amounts.

Provision for Losses: prospectively, from January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by total charge-offs less total recoveries ("NCOs") plus changes to the Allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs prospectively include unpaid principal and up to 90 days of related accrued interest, NCO amounts and rates are higher and the Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a ~~wide range~~percentage of ~~underbanked consumers~~Open-End gross loans receivable is higher. The Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable increased to 17.2% at September 30, 2019, compared to 9.8% in the ~~United States,~~comparable prior-year period.

Correction of Immaterial Errors in Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the ~~United Kingdom~~year ended December 31, 2018, the Company corrected immaterial errors in its prior presentation of cash flows for loan originations and ~~Canada.~~collections on principal. The Company determined that the historical presentation was in error by not conforming to US GAAP because it included outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections in Cash provided by operating activities rather than in Cash used in investing activities. Accordingly, the Company corrected previously filed financial statements by reclassifying cash outflows for loan originations and receipts on collections of principal of $412.4 million from net Cash provided by operating activities to net Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Total cash flows for each period presented did not change. The Company concluded that the errors were immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02

In ~~May 2017,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ~~issued~~established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU ~~2017-09,~~ ~~Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting~~ ~~("ASU 2017-09"). Under modification accounting, an entity is required~~No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to ~~re-value its equity awards each time there is a modification to~~recognize leases on the ~~terms of~~balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the awards. The provisions in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to account for the effects of a modification, unless certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update were effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2017-09 was effective for usstandard as of January 1, ~~2018.~~2019 using the alternative modified retrospective method, also known as the transition relief method, permitted under ASU 2018-11, which allows companies to not recast comparative periods in the period of adoption. The ~~adoption~~Company elected the package of ~~this amendment~~practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, permits companies to not reassess prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases, defined as having an initial term of 12 months or less, from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company did not ~~have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.~~elect the hindsight practical expedient.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~As of September 30, 2019, the Company held right of use assets ("ROU assets") and operating lease liabilities ("lease liabilities") of $118.3 million and $126.0 million, respectively. Prepaid rent of $2.7 million and deferred liabilities of $10.9 million were included in ROU assets and lease liabilities, respectively, at the time of adoption. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reduced initial opening balances for ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded on January 1, 2019 by $18.0 million as a result of a previous misapplication of certain provisions of Topic 842. The impact of this misapplication on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows was not material.

See Note 14 - "Leases" for additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842.

ASU 2018-02

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive income ("ASU 2018-02")~~. Current US GAAP requires deferred tax liabilities and assets~~, which permits the reclassification to ~~be adjusted for the effect~~retained earnings of ~~a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the period the change is enacted, including items of other comprehensive income for which the related~~disproportionate tax effects ~~are presented~~ in ~~other comprehensive income (“stranded tax effects”). ASU 2018-02 allows, but does not require, companies to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from~~ accumulated other comprehensive income ~~to retained earnings. Additionally, ASU 2018-02 requires new disclosures~~(loss) caused by all companies, whether they opt to do the reclassification or not. The provisions of ASU 2018-02 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Companies should apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ~~is recognized. We are currently assessing the impact adoption~~ of 2017 ("2017 Tax Act"). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 ~~will~~as of January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on ~~our~~the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Related to the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") Standard

ASU 2016-13

In ~~September 2017,~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~2017-13,~~2016-13, ~~Revenue Recognition~~“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic ~~605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840),~~326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and ~~Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant~~subsequent amendments to the ~~Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments~~ ("guidance: ASU ~~2017-13").~~2018-19 in November 2018, ASU ~~2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for public business entities related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09~~2019-04 in April 2019 and ASU ~~No. 2016-02. We~~2019-05 in May 2019. The standard, as amended, changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are ~~currently assessing the impact adoption of Topic 606 and Topic 842 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,~~ ~~Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~ ~~("ASU 2017-04"). The amendments in ASU 2017-04 simplified the goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 of the test which requires an entity to compute the implied~~not measured at fair value ~~of goodwill. Instead,~~through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an ~~entity should recognize an impairment charge~~“expected loss” model for ~~the amount by which~~instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, ~~exceeds~~as they currently do under the reporting unit's fair value, and is limited to the amount of total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The provisions of ASU 2017-04 are effective for a public entity's annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and effective for us, as an emerging growth company, in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,~~ ~~Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a Business~~ ("ASU 2017-01"). The amendments in ASU 2017-01 narrow the definition of a business and provide a framework that gives an entity a basis for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset or a business and provide a screen to determine when a set (an integrated set of assets and activities) is not a business. The screen requires a determination that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 (i) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create

The amendment will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the ~~evaluation~~scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2019-04 clarifies that equity instruments without readily determinable fair values for which an entity has elected the measurement alternative should be remeasured to fair value as of ~~whether a market participant could replace missing elements.~~the date that an observable transaction occurred.

Additionally, as disclosed below in "--FASB Definition of an SRC as related to the CECL standard and evaluation of the impact of the CECL standard", the Company expects to defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13 until at least January 1, 2021.

ASU 2019-05

In ~~November 2016,~~May 2019, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-18, Statement~~2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ~~Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("~~ASU ~~2016-18").~~2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (i) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (ii) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019-05’s amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in ASU ~~2016-18 require~~2016-13. For entities that ~~a statement of cash flows explain~~have adopted ASU 2016-13, the ~~change during the period~~amendments in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

An entity may early adopt the ASU in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date for ~~us,~~ASU 2016-13. The Company expects to elect the option to defer adoption to a later effective date, as further described below in "--FASB Definition of an ~~emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018~~SRC as related to the CECL standard and ~~interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

The Company is currently evaluating the methods and impact of adopting this new standard on ~~our~~the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-04

In ~~August 2016,~~May 2019, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-15,~~2019-04, ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)~~ (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the potential impact ASU 2016-15 will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,~~ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ~~(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on~~, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,~~” ("ASU 2016-13"). This ASU modifies~~ which clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments. The ASU’s amendments apply to all entities within the ~~impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place~~scope of the ~~currently used incurred loss methodology,~~affected guidance. Accrued interest - Amortized cost basis is defined in ASU 2016-13 as "the amount at which ~~will result~~a financing receivable or investment is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accrued interest, accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, write-offs, foreign exchange, and fair value hedge accounting adjustments." To address stakeholders’ concerns that the inclusion of accrued interest in the ~~more timely recognition~~definition of ~~losses.~~amortized cost basis could make application of the credit loss guidance operationally burdensome, ASU 2019-04 provides certain alternatives for the measurement of the allowance for credit losses ("ALL") on accrued interest receivable ("AIR"). These measurement alternatives include (i) measuring an ALL on AIR separately, (ii) electing to provide separate disclosure of the AIR component of amortized cost as a practical expedient, and (iii) making accounting policy elections to simplify certain aspects of the presentation and measurement of such AIR.

ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payment arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged and lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.2019-04.

~~In January 2016,~~FASB Definition of an SRC as related to the CECL standard and evaluation of the impact of the CECL standard

On October 16, 2019, the FASB ~~issued ASU No. 2016-01,~~ ~~Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-01”) which requires (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation~~approved a proposal to defer required adoption of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instrumentsCECL standard for disclosure purposes and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). ASU 2016-01 eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public companies forSRCs until fiscal ~~years~~periods beginning after December 15, ~~2017~~2022. Under current SEC definitions, CURO met the definition of an SRC as of June 30, 2019. The FASB further confirmed that for CECL, a company makes an evaluation of SRC status in accordance with SEC rules at the time of standard effectiveness (i.e., as of June 30, 2019) and ~~interim periods within those fiscal years, and it will be~~that status is effective for ~~us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018~~purposes of adopting the CECL standard regardless of future changes in SRC status. The FASB is expected to codify the approved proposal with issuance of a new ASU during the fourth quarter of 2019.

SEC Disclosure Update

In ~~November 2015,~~August 2018, the ~~FASB issued ASU~~SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. ~~2015-17,~~33-10532, ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes~~Disclosure Update and Simplification ~~(“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-07 eliminates~~, amending certain disclosure requirements that had become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. Other than the amendment's expanded disclosure requirement for ~~organizations~~interim financial statements to ~~present deferred tax liabilities and assets as~~disclose both current and ~~noncurrent~~comparative quarter and year-to-date reconciliations of changes in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 was effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, andstockholders' equity, it ~~will be effective for us, as an emerging growth company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

If we are no longer an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2018, we will be required to adopt the provision of this standard retroactively as of January 1, 2018. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services.

~~On November 8, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved a new incentive plan (“2017 Incentive Plan”).~~ The Company's stockholder-approved 2017 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5.0 million shares, subject to certain adjustment provisions, ~~described~~which may be issued in the ~~2017 Incentive Plan, for the granting~~form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other awards that may be settled in or based ~~upon our~~on common stock. Awards may be granted to ~~certain of our~~ officers, employees, consultants and directors. The 2017 Incentive Plan provides that shares of common stock subject to awards granted become available for ~~issuance~~re-issuance if such awards expire, terminate, are canceled for any reason or are forfeited by the recipient.

~~On February 5, 2018, the Company issued additional~~Restricted Stock Units

Grants of time-based RSUs ~~under the 2017 Incentive Plan. RSUs~~ are ~~typically~~ valued at the date of grant based on the value of ~~our~~ common stock and are expensed using the straight-line method over the service period. These RSUs are subject to time-based vesting and typically vest over a three-year period.

Grants of market-based RSUs are valued using the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. In March 2019, the Company awarded market-based RSUs designed to drive the performance of the management team toward achievement of key corporate objectives. The market-based RSUs vest after three years depending upon the Company's total stockholder return over the three-year performance period relative to other companies in its selected peer group. Expense recognition for the market-based awards occurs over the service period using the straight-line method.

NOTE 8 – ~~FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS~~FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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. ~~We are~~The Company is required to use valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on observable market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect ~~our~~the Company's own estimate about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Accounting standards establish a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The hierarchy requires usthe Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are listed below.

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that ~~we have~~the Company has access to at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting ~~our~~the Company's own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. ~~We develop~~The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including ~~our~~its own data.

The Company seeks to minimize risks from foreign currency rate fluctuations on anticipated transactions in the ordinary course of business through the use of cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2018, we entered into a series of cash flow hedges in which the hedging instruments were forwards to purchase GBP £6.4 million. These contracts will complete in the third quarter of 2018.

We performed an assessment that determined all critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction match and, as such, have qualitatively concluded that changes in the hedge instrument’s intrinsic value will completely offset the change in the expected cash flows based on changes in the spot rate. Since the effectiveness of this hedge is assessed based on changes in the hedge instrument’s intrinsic value, the change in the time value of the contract would be excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. We recorded changes in the hedge instrument’s intrinsic value, to the extent that they were effective as a hedge, in "Other comprehensive income." As of March 31, 2018 we have recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million in "Other comprehensive income" associated with this hedge.

~~Purchase of Cognical Holdings Inc. Preferred Shares~~

During the first quarter of 2018, we purchased 560,872 additional preferred shares of Cognical Holdings, Inc. ("Cognical") for $1.0 million. As a result of this transaction, along with share purchases during 2017, we currently own 10.4% of the equity of Cognical. We record these purchases in "Other assets' on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There was no effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company utilizes the "control number" concept in the computation of Diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories.

NOTE 13 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

~~Harrison, et al~~Securities Litigation

On December 5, 2018, a putative securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, captioned Yellowdog Partners, LP v. ~~Principal Investments, Inc. et al~~CURO Group Holdings Corp., Donald F. Gayhardt, William Baker and Roger W. Dean, Civil Action No. 18-2662. On May 31, 2019, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint naming Doug Rippel, Chad Faulkner, Mike McKnight, Friedman Fleischer & Lowe Capital Partners II, L.P., FFL Executive Partners II, L.P., and FFL Parallel Fund II, L.P. as additional defendants. The complaint alleges that the Company and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and that certain defendants also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as "control persons" of CURO. Plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on behalf of a class of investors who purchased Company common stock between April 27, 2018 and October 24, 2018.

Plaintiffs allege generally that, during the putative class period, the Company made misleading statements and omitted material information regarding its efforts to transition the Canadian inventory of products from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans. Plaintiffs assert that the Company and the individual defendants made these misstatements and omissions to keep the stock price high. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on August 15, 2019.

While the Company is vigorously contesting this lawsuit, it cannot determine the final resolution or when it might be resolved. In addition to the expenses incurred in defending this litigation and any damages that may be awarded in the event of an adverse ruling, management’s efforts and attention may be diverted from the ordinary business operations to address these claims. Regardless of the outcome, this litigation may have a material adverse impact on results because of defense costs, including costs related to indemnification obligations, diversion of resources and other factors.

During the ~~period relevant~~first quarter of 2019, the Company received an inquiry from the SEC regarding the Company's public disclosures surrounding its efforts to ~~this class action litigation, we pursued in excess~~transition the Canadian inventory of ~~16,000 claims in the limited actions and jurisdiction court in Clark County, Nevada, seeking payment of~~products from Single-Pay loans ~~on which customers had defaulted. We utilized outside counsel~~ to file these debt collection lawsuits. On Scene Mediations, a process serving company, was employed to serve the summons and petitions in the majority of these cases. In an unrelated matter, the principal of On Scene Mediations was convicted of multiple accounts of perjury and filing false affidavits to obtain judgments

on behalf of a Las Vegas collection agency. In September 2010, we were sued by four former customers in a proposed class action suit filed in the District Court in Clark County, Nevada. The plaintiffs in this case claimed that they, and others in the proposed class, were not properly served notice of the debt collection lawsuits by the Company.

On June 7, 2017, the parties reached a settlement in this matter and we accrued approximately $2.3 million as a result of this settlement. At a July 24, 2017 hearing before the District Court in Clark County, Nevada, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and on October 30, 2017, the court issued final approval of the class settlement. We paid the approved settlement amount and released the related liability.

~~Reimbursement Offer; Possible Changes in Payment Practices~~

During 2017, it was determined that a limited universe of borrowers may have incurred bank overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees because of possible confusion about certain electronic payments we initiated on theirOpen-End loans. As a result, we decided to reimburse such fees through payments or credits against outstanding loan balances, subject to per-customer dollar limitations, upon receipt of (1) claims from potentially affected borrowers stating that they were in fact confused by our practices and (2) bank statements from such borrowers showing that fees for which reimbursement is sought were incurred at a time that such borrowers might reasonably have been confused about our practices. We recorded a $2.0 million liability for this matter.

Additionally, we also decided that, in June 2018, we will discontinue the use of secondary payment cards for affected borrowers who do not explicitly reauthorize the use of secondary payment cards. For these borrowers, in the event we cannot obtain payment through the bank account or payment card listed on the borrower’s application, we will need to rely exclusively on other collection methods such as delinquency notices and/or collection calls. The discontinuation for affected borrowers of our current use of secondary cards will increase collections costs and reduce collections effectiveness.

NOTE 14 – LEASES

The Company entered into operating leases for the buildings in which it operates that expire at various times through 2033. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in "Right of use asset - operating leases" and "Lease liability - operating leases" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company uses quoted interest rates obtained from financial institutions as an input, adjusted for Company specific factors, to derive the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease.

The majority of the leases have an original term of five years with two five-year renewal options. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Most of the leases have escalation clauses and certain leases also require payment of period costs, including maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Some of the leases are with related parties and have terms similar to the non-related party leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The following table summarizes the operating lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

NOTE 15 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as approved by the boards of directors of the U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as Administrators for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place their management, affairs, business and property of the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries, which comprised the U.K. reportable operating segment, as of February 25, 2019 and classified them as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented.

Revenue and expenses related to discontinued operations included activity prior to the deconsolidation of the U.K. Subsidiaries effective February 25, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, "Loss on disposition" of $39.4 million included the non-cash effect of eliminating assets and liabilities of the U.K. Subsidiaries as of the date of deconsolidation, as well as the effect of cumulative currency exchange rate differences on the U.S. investment in the U.K.

In connection with the disposition of the U.K. Subsidiaries, the U.S. entity that owned the Company's interests in the U.K. Subsidiaries recognized a loss on investment. This loss resulted in an estimated U.S. federal and state income tax benefit of $46.0 million, which will be available to offset the Company's future U.S. federal and state income tax obligations. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company revised the estimate of the tax basis in the U.K. Subsidiaries, resulting in a $0.6 million reduction in the income tax benefit initially recorded in the first quarter of 2019.

The following table presents financial results of the U.K. Subsidiaries, which meet the criteria of Discontinued Operations and, therefore, are excluded from the Company's results of continuing operations (in thousands):

In November 2017, CFTC issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional Senior Secured Notes in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the "Additional Notes Offering"). CFTC used the proceeds from the Additional Notes Offering, together with available cash, to (i) pay a cash dividend, in an amount of $140.0 million to us, CFTC’s sole stockholder, and ultimately our stockholders and (ii) pay fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the Additional Notes Offering. CFTC received the consent of the holders holding a majority in the outstanding principal amount outstanding of the current Senior Secured Notes to a one-time waiver with respect to the restrictions contained in Section 5.07(a) of the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes to permit the dividend.

On March 7, 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of the Senior Secured Notes at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Following the redemption, $527.5 million of the original outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding. The redemption was conducted pursuant to the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent. Consistent with the terms of the indenture, CFTC used a portion of the cash proceeds from our IPO, completed in December 2017, to redeem such Senior Secured Notes. See Note 5, "Long-Term Debt," for additional details.

NOTE 17 – SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In April 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of its common stock. The repurchase program, which commenced June 2019, will continue until completed or terminated. CURO expects the purchases to be made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or both, at the Company's discretion and subject to market conditions and other factors. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with equity plans or other corporate purposes.

Under this program, the Company repurchased 2,156,241 shares of common stock through September 30, 2019. The table below summarizes share repurchase activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands, except for per share amounts and number of share amounts):

Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, owned by FFL, in a private transaction at a purchase price equal to $13.55 per share of Common Stock. The purchase price was determined by using the Company's closing common stock price on August 29, 2019 of $13.97, less a discount of 3.0%. This transaction occurred outside of the share repurchase program authorized in April 2019.

Recent Developments

OnShare Repurchase Program. Our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program in April 2019 providing for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase program, which commenced June 2019, will continue until completed or terminated. We expect the purchases to be made from time-to-time in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with equity plans and for other corporate purposes. Under this program, the Company repurchased 2,156,241 shares of common stock for total consideration of $26.0 million through September 30, ~~2018,~~2019.

FFL Repurchase. In August 2019, the Company entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) with Friedman Fleischer & Lowe Capital Partners II, L.P. and its affiliated investment funds (“FFL”), a related party. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, owned by FFL, in a private transaction at a purchase price equal to $13.55 per share of Common Stock. This transaction occurred outside of the share repurchase program authorized in April 2019.

Revolve Finance. In February 2019, we ~~announced~~launched Revolve Finance, sponsored by Republic Bank of Chicago, which is being introduced across the Company's U.S. stores. This product provides customers a checking account solution, with FDIC-insured deposits, that combines a Visa-branded debit card, a number of technology-enabled tools and optional overdraft protection.

Bank Partnerships. In September 2019, we ~~expect to begin offering consumers within~~terminated the ~~United States a new line of credit product through a relationship~~previously disclosed agreement with ~~MetaBank® ("Meta");~~MetaBank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meta Financial Group, Inc. ~~CURO~~

On October 10, 2019, Governor Newsom signed the bill into law and it is scheduled to ~~finalize supporting agreements~~become effective on January 1, 2020.

See "Regulatory Environment and Compliance" for additional details.

Credit Facilities. For recent developments related to our Senior Secured Notes, SPV facilities and other capital resources, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

U.K. Developments. On February 25, 2019, we announced that a proposed Scheme of Arrangement ("SOA"), as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019, related to Curo Transatlantic Limited and SRC Transatlantic Limited (collectively the "U.K. Subsidiaries"), would not be implemented. We also announced that effective February 25, 2019, in accordance with the provisions of the ~~relationship, although there can be no assurance~~U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 and as toapproved by the ~~level~~boards of ~~success in selling this credit product. Successful launch~~directors of our U.K. Subsidiaries, insolvency practitioners from KPMG were appointed as administrators ("Administrators") for the U.K. Subsidiaries. The effect of the ~~program is conditioned upon execution~~U.K. Subsidiaries’ entry into administration was to place the management, affairs, business and property of ~~supporting agreements~~the U.K. Subsidiaries under the direct control of the Administrators. As a result, we deconsolidated the U.K. Subsidiaries as of February 25, 2019 and ~~completion of diligence.~~ presented the U.K. Subsidiaries as Discontinued Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q").

In our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019, our results of operations included a $30.3 million expense comprised of (i) a proposed $23.6 million fund to settle historical redress claims and (ii) $6.7 million in advisory and other costs that would be required to execute the SOA. We subsequently concluded that pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies, the SOA did not represent an estimate of loss for the redress loss contingency but instead was offered in ongoing negotiation of a potential compromised settlement with creditors. Therefore, the settlement offered through the SOA did not meet the recognition threshold pursuant to ASC 450 and should not have been accrued as a contingent liability for customer redress claims as of December 31, 2018. Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019 appropriately included $4.6 million of fourth quarter 2018 redress costs and related charges which represented known claims as of December 31, 2018. See "Controls and Procedures" in our 2018 Form 10-K for further discussion.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenue grew $82.0 million, or 10.8%, to $839.5 million, compared to the prior-year period, predominantly driven by growth in Open-End loans in both countries. Geographically, total revenue in the U.S. and Canada grew 8.9% and 19.2%, respectively. From a product perspective, Unsecured Installment revenues rose 6.3% in the U.S., offset by a decrease in Canada of 54.6% due to the continued transition to Open-End loans. Secured Installment revenues and related receivables remained consistent year-over-year.

Loan Volume and Portfolio Performance Analysis

Unsecured Installment Loans

Unsecured Installment revenue and gross combined loans receivable ~~increased~~decreased from the ~~prior year~~comparable prior-year quarter due to ~~growth in~~ the ~~United States, primarily in California; growth~~continued mix shift to Open-End loans in Canada ~~primarily~~and portfolio optimization in ~~Alberta; and growth in the United~~

~~Kingdom. Gross combined~~California to manage upcoming January 1, 2020 regulatory changes. Unsecured Installment ~~Loan balances grew$40.4~~gross combined loans receivable decreased $15.7 million, or ~~21.8%~~6.0%, compared to ~~March 31, 2017.~~

~~Loss provision rates as a percentage of originations for Company Owned loans increased sequentially from 22.1% to 27.6% to maintain allowance coverage. Loss provision rates for~~September 30, 2018. Unsecured Installment loans Guaranteed by the Company ~~remained consistent sequentially from~~declined $5.1 million year-over-year due to

regulatory change in Ohio, which became effective in April 2019, and the ~~fourth quarter~~subsequent conversion of ~~2017. Net charge offs~~Ohio CSO volume to Company-Owned loans, partially offset by growth in Texas.

The NCO rate for Company Owned Unsecured Installment gross loans ~~and loans Guaranteed by~~receivables in the ~~Company were consistent and improved, respectively, versus the fourth~~third quarter of ~~2017.~~2019 increased approximately 125 bps from the third quarter of 2018 due to geographic mix shift from Canada to the U.S., and increases in U.S. NCO rates due to product and credit policy decisions. The NCO rate in the U.S. rose from 16.8% in the third quarter of 2018 to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to credit limit increases. While credit limit increases generally result in modestly higher NCO rates in the related loan vintages, historically the growth in net revenue over the life of such vintages has more than covered the higher NCO rates.

The Unsecured Installment Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Unsecured Installment gross loans receivable was consistent sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2017. Unsecured Installment CSO guarantee liability as a percentage of Unsecured Installment gross loans Guaranteed by the Company declined from the end of 2017 because of improved net charge offs and delinquencies.

Open-End Loans

Open-End loan balances as of September 30, 2019 increased by ~~$25.9~~$130.9 million when compared to September 30, 2018, primarily due to the continued growth in Canada. The Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, discussed further below, impacted comparability as Canada included $19.2 million of past-due Open-End loans as of September 30, 2019 that would have been charged off under the former policy. Sequentially, Open-End balances in Canada grew $18.1 million ($20.9 million on a constant currency basis) due to organic growth of the product and the introduction of Open-End loans in British Columbia during the third quarter of 2019. Remaining year-over-year loan growth was driven by the organic growth in seasoned U.S. markets, such as Tennessee and Kansas, and the relatively newer Virginia market. Similar to Canada, the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change affected comparability in the U.S., with the inclusion of $26.8 million of past-due Open-End loans as of September 30, 2019 that would have been charged off under the former policy.

The Open-End NCO rate during the third quarter of 2019 was 9.4%, compared to 17.1% in the same quarter in the prior year, as a result of a modest improvement in the U.S. and seasoning of the Canada portfolio. Sequentially, on a non-GAAP pro forma basis, as described below, NCO rates improved 130 bps, primarily on portfolio improvements in Canada.

Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change

Effective January 1, 2019, we modified the timeframe in which we charge-off Open-End loans and made related refinements to our loss provisioning methodology. Prior to January 1, 2019, we deemed Open-End loans uncollectible and charged-off when a customer missed a scheduled payment and the loan was considered past-due. Because of our continuing shift to Open-End loans in Canada and our analysis of payment patterns on early-stage versus late-stage delinquencies, we revised our estimates and now consider Open-End loans uncollectible when the loan has been contractually past-due for 90 consecutive days. Consequently, past-due Open-End loans and related accrued interest now remain in loans receivable for 90 days before being charged off against the allowance for loan losses. All recoveries on charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses compared to the related gross loans receivable balances that include accrued interest.

The aforementioned change was treated as a change in accounting estimate for accounting purposes and applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2019.

The change affects comparability to prior periods as follows:

Provision for Losses: prospectively from ~~year-over-year growth in Kansas~~January 1, 2019, past-due, unpaid balances plus related accrued interest charge-off on day 91. Provision expense is affected by NCOs (total charge-offs less total recoveries) plus changes to the Allowance for loan losses. Because NCOs prospectively include unpaid principal and ~~Tennessee~~up to 90 days of ~~12.2%~~related accrued interest, NCO amounts and ~~8.6%, respectively,~~rates are higher and the ~~2017 launch of Open-End in Virginia and conversion in the fourth quarter of 2017 of a portion of Canada Unsecured Installment loans to Open-End loans. The provision for losses and~~ Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross loans receivable ~~remained consistent with the previous quarter.~~is higher. The ~~decline year-over-year in~~Open-End Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Open-End gross ~~receivables~~loans receivable increased to 17.2% at September 30, 2019, compared to ~~March 31, 2017 is primarily due to geographic mix and seasoning~~9.8% in the ~~U.S.~~comparable prior-year period.

Single-Pay

Single-Pay revenue ~~and combined loans receivable~~ during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, ~~were affected~~ primarily bydue to regulatory changes in Canada (rate and product changes in Ontario and British Columbia) that accelerated the shift to Open-End products. U.S. Single-Pay receivables increased $1.7 million, or 4.1%, offset by a decrease in Canada receivables of $1.0 million, or 2.8%. Canada Single-Pay balances were stable sequentially from the second quarter of 2019. The Single-Pay Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Single-Pay gross loans receivable increased sequentially from 6.5% to 7.3%, and ~~continued product shift from~~the NCO rate increased 215 bps year-over-year, as a result of mandated extended payment options for certain Canada Single-Pay to Installment and Open-End loans in all countries. Single-Pay loan balances grew 8.3% (primarily in Canada) but revenue was flat versus the same quarter a year ago because of lower yields in Canada. Credit quality and metrics for Single-Pay remain stable.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased ~~$37.2~~$27.8 million, or ~~16.6%~~10.3%, to ~~$261.8~~$297.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018~~September 30, 2019, from ~~$224.6~~$269.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $15 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change. U.S. revenue increased ~~17.4%~~6.2%, driven by volume growth. Canadian revenue increased 30.3% (31.6% on ~~volume growth, U.K. revenue~~ ~~increased~~ ~~by 25.6%~~a constant currency basis), ~~and revenue in Canada increased 11.3% where~~as volume growth offset yield compression from negative regulatory impacts on Single-Pay loan rates and the significant product ~~mix.~~mix-shift to Open-End loans.

Provision for losses ~~increased $19.3~~decreased $3.8 million, or ~~31.3%~~3.0%, to ~~$81.0~~$123.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018~~September 30, 2019, from ~~$61.7~~$127.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018. This ~~is explained more fully~~decrease included incremental provision expense from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, consistent with the incremental revenue impact. Excluding the impact of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, provision expense declined year-over-year, primarily due to lower sequential loan growth than in the ~~segment analysis that follows.~~prior-year's quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross combined loans receivable grew sequentially by $53.7 million, or 7.9%, compared to sequential growth of $126.8 million, or 25.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Cost of Providing Services

The total cost of providing services ~~increased $3.5~~decreased $4.4 million, or ~~5.2%~~5.5%, to ~~$71.5~~$76.8 million in the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018,~~September 30, 2019, compared to ~~$67.9~~$81.2 million in the three months ended ~~March 31, 2017~~September 30, 2018, primarily because of lower advertising costs. The decline in advertising costs was primarily the result of repositioning our California Installment loan portfolio in advance of regulatory changes and mix-shift, and stability in our Canadian portfolio following the Ontario deployment of Open-End loans in the third quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses

Excluding share-based compensation of $2.8 million, legal and related costs of $0.9 million and U.K. related costs of $0.3 million, corporate, district and other expenses increased $8.1 million, or 30.4%, primarily due to higher ~~customer acquisition spend.~~variable compensation tied to our financial performance.

Our investment in Cognical Holdings, Inc. ("Zibby") is accounted for under the equity method. We record our pro rata share of Zibby's income or losses in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of our investment in "Other" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Estimated losses recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 million and represents our share of losses during the period in which we held a greater than 20% investment, typically considered the threshold for equity method accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $6.0 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our refinancing activities in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance to extinguish our $527.5 million 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and our Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility. In addition, we entered into a Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility in the third quarter of 2018 with a lower interest rate than our previous Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 28.7%, compared to 28.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The third quarter 2019 effective income tax rate included unfavorable impacts from the non-tax deductible loss on our equity method investment and changes in state income apportionment and a mix shift in taxable income between the U.S. and Canada. Excluding the impact of the loss on equity method investment, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 27.7%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased $82.0 million, or 10.8%, to $839.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $757.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $35 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by a higher provision rate and the higher allowance discussed further below. U.S. revenue increased 8.9%, driven by volume growth. Canadian revenue increased 19.2% (23.1% on a constant currency basis), as volume growth more than offset yield compression from negative regulatory impacts on Single-Pay loan rates and the significant product mix-shift to Open-End loans.

Provision for losses increased $47.3 million, or 16.3%, to $338.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $290.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change. The nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $14.6 million of provision benefit from changes which included allowance coverage rates whereas the nine months ended 2019 included $5.1 million of benefit. Excluding the impact of the allowance coverage change, provision for losses increased $37.9 million, or 12.4%, because of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change and increased earning asset volume year-over-year as further described in "Segment Analysis" below.

Cost of Providing Services

The total cost of providing services decreased $4.9 million, or 2.2%, to $217.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $222.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily because of lower advertising costs, offset by increased loan servicing costs on higher volume. The decline in advertising costs was primarily the result of repositioning our California Installment loan portfolio in advance of regulatory changes and mix-shift, and stability in our Canadian portfolio following the Ontario deployment of Open-End loans in the third quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses

Corporate, district and other ~~expense~~expenses increased ~~$7.5~~$27.1 million, or ~~22.6%~~28.3%, primarily ~~due to $4.1 additional compensation expense~~as a result of $8.8 million for obtaining the consent of our holders of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and our bondholders associated with discontinuing our U.K. operations and other related U.K. separation costs, $2.0 million of legal and related costs as described above, $1.8 million of restructuring costs from ~~increased marketing, collections~~our reduction-in-force implemented in January 2019 and ~~technology headcount and $1.7~~$1.5 million of additional share-based compensation. Excluding these aforementioned costs, corporate, district and other expenses increased by $13.0 million, or 14.3%, primarily due to higher professional fees associated with our second year-end for full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and higher variable compensation ~~expense.~~tied to our financial performance.

Our investment in Zibby is accounted for under the equity method. We record our pro rata share of Zibby's income or losses in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of our investment in "Other" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our share of estimated losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5.1 million, which includes a $3.7 million loss to adjust the Company's carrying value of Zibby. The carrying value was further adjusted by the Company's pro rata share of Zibby's losses during the period in which the Company held a greater than 20% investment, typically considered the threshold for equity method accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $14.2 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our refinancing activities in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance to extinguish our $527.5 million 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and our Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility. In addition, we entered into a Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility in the third quarter of 2018 with a lower interest rate than our previous Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility.

Provision for Income Taxes

~~First~~U.S. Segment Results - For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Third quarter 2019 U.S. revenues ~~grew~~increased by ~~$30.3~~$13.8 million, or ~~17.4%~~6.2%, to ~~$204.6 million.~~

~~U.S~~$237.1 million, compared to the prior-year period. U.S. revenue growth was driven by a ~~$51.3~~$21.0 million, or ~~18.8%~~5.0%, increase in gross combined loans receivable to ~~$323.8~~$444.0 million at ~~March 31, 2018~~

September 30, 2019, compared to ~~$272.5~~$423.0 million inat September 30, 2018. Additionally, U.S. revenue for the ~~prior year period. We experienced volume growth primarily from Unsecured Installment receivables, which increased year-over-year $30.3~~three months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $13 million ~~or 21.2%. Secured Installment receivables increased~~ from the ~~prior year period by $11.3 million or 15.9%, and~~Q1 2019 Open-End ~~receivables increased $8.9 million, or 34.8%~~Loss Recognition Change.

The provision for losses was consistent year-over-year despite the increase in loan receivables. The year-over-year provision change included incremental provision expense from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, consistent with the incremental revenue impact. Excluding the impact of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, provision expense declined year-over-year due to lower sequential growth in gross loans receivable compared to the prior year, ~~period. Open-end growth was driven by year-over-year expansion in Kansas and Tennessee of 12.2% and 8.6%, respectively, and the 2017 launch of Open-End in Virginia.~~

~~The increase of $15.1 million or 30.8% in provision for losses was primarily driven~~offset by the ~~increase in~~aforementioned NCO rate increases. U.S. gross combined loans receivable ~~as previously discussed.~~grew $35.7 million, or 8.7%, sequentially during the third quarter of 2019, compared to sequential growth of $55.3 million, or 15.0%, during the prior-year period.

U.S. ~~cost of providing services remained consistent with the same period in the prior year. The total~~ cost of providing services for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018 were $48.9~~September 30, 2019 was $56.8 million, a ~~slight increase~~decrease of ~~$0.9~~$3.1 million, or ~~1.9%~~5.2%, compared to ~~$48.0~~$59.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018, primarily due to lower advertising costs associated with repositioning our California Installment loan portfolio in advance of regulatory changes.

Revenue in Canada was impacted by the product transition in Alberta from Single-Pay to Unsecured Installment and Open-End loans and the impact of regulatory rate changes in Ontario and British Columbia. Canada revenue improved $4.7$10.5 million, or ~~11.3% to $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $41.6 million in the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenue was up $2.6 million, or 6.3%.~~

~~Single-Pay revenue increased $0.1 million, or 0.3% to $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to 17.9% higher origination volumes~~47.1%, compared to the same period in the prior ~~year. Single-Pay ending receivables~~year, primarily due to $5.3 million of higher performance-based variable compensation costs, $0.9 million related to certain litigation matters and $0.7 million of additional share-based compensation.

U.S. interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $7.3 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our refinancing activities in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance to extinguish our $527.5 million 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and U.S. SPV facility.

U.S. Segment Results - For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, U.S. revenues increased ~~$5.7~~by $55.2 million, or ~~13.1%~~8.9%, to ~~$48.7~~$673.2 million. U.S. revenue growth was driven by a $21.0 million, or 5.0%, increase in gross combined loans receivable, to $444.0 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $423.0 million at September 30, 2018. Additionally, U.S. revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $30 million from ~~$43.1~~the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by related higher provision rate and higher provision for losses.

The provision for losses' increase of $41.0 million, or 17.1%, was primarily due to changes in allowance coverage in the prior year. The nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $12.5 million of provision benefit from changes in allowance coverage rates, whereas the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $1.7 million of incremental expense. Excluding the impact of the allowance coverage change, provision for losses increased $30.1 million, or 12.0%, because of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change.

U.S. cost of providing services for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $160.6 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 1.4%, compared to $162.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to lower advertising costs associated with repositioning our California Installment loan portfolio in advance of regulatory changes.

Corporate, district and other operating expenses increased $25.3 million, or 31.2%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to $8.8 million of U.K. disposition-related costs, $7.7 million higher performance-based variable compensation costs, $3.1 million higher professional fees and $1.6 million of restructuring costs.

U.S. interest expense for the first nine months of 2019 decreased by $20.7 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our refinancing activities in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we issued $690.0 million of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance to extinguish our $527.5 million 12.00% Senior Secured Notes and our U.S. SPV facility.

Canada Segment Results - For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Canada revenue increased $14.0 million, or 30.3%, to $60.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $46.2 million in the prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased $14.6 million, or 31.6%. Revenue growth in Canada was impacted favorably by the significant asset growth and the product transition from Single-Pay and Unsecured Installment loans to Open-End loans. Additionally, Canada revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $2 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change.

Single-Pay revenue decreased $2.7 million, or 11.6%, to $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and Single-Pay receivables decreased $1.0 million, or 2.8%, to $35.1 million from $36.1 million in the prior ~~year period.~~year. The decreases in Single-Pay revenue and receivables were due to the continued product mix shift in Canada from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans and by regulatory changes effective January and July 2018 that lowered Single Pay pricing year-over-year.

~~Canadian~~Canada non-Single-Pay revenue ~~grew $4.6~~increased $16.6 million, or ~~61.9%~~71.1%, to $40.0 million compared to $23.4 million the same quarter a year ago, on ~~$22.0~~growth of $94.1 million, or ~~68.8% growth~~59.8%, in related loan balances. The increase was primarily related to the launch of Open-End products in Alberta and Ontario in the fourth quarter of 2017, and significant expansion of the Open-End product in Ontario in late 2018. Additionally, as a result of the increase in Open-End loans, ancillary revenue increased $3.8 million versus the same quarter a year ago, primarily driven by an increase in sales of insurance to Open-End loan customers.

The provision for losses ~~increased $2.3~~decreased $3.6 million, or ~~22.7%~~14.6%, to ~~$12.6~~$20.9 million infor the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018 from $10.2~~September 30, 2019, compared to $24.4 million in the ~~prior year period, primarily~~prior-year period. This decrease included incremental provision expense from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, consistent with the incremental revenue impact. Excluding the impact of the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, provision expense declined year-over-year because of lower sequential gross receivable growth and seasoning of the Open-End loans. Total Open-End and Installment loans grew $18.0 million sequentially during the third quarter of 2019, compared to sequential growth of $82.7 million during the same prior-year period. Total Canada NCO rates improved 425 bps year-over-year due to ~~relative loan volumes and~~ the ~~mix shift from Single-Pay loans to Unsecured Installment and~~seasoning of Open-End loans. On a constant currency basis, provision for losses ~~increased $1.8~~decreased by $3.4 million, or ~~17.2%.~~13.8%, compared to the prior-year period.

~~The~~Canada cost of providing services ~~in Canada increased $2.2~~for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $19.9 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or ~~12.7%~~6.3%, compared to ~~$19.2~~$21.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2018, compared~~September 30, 2019, primarily due to ~~$17.0 million~~lower advertising costs from mix-shift and stability in our Canadian portfolio following the Ontario deployment of Open-End loans in the prior year period. The increase was due primarily to $0.9 million, or 53.1%, higher advertising costs compared to the prior year period and an increase in occupancy expense from higher store counts. We have opened five LendDirect stores since the firstthird quarter of ~~2017. On a constant currency basis,~~2018.

Canada revenue ~~improved $2.2~~increased $26.8 million, or ~~25.6%~~19.2%, to ~~$10.9~~$166.3 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$8.7~~$139.5 million in the ~~prior year~~prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased $32.2 million, or 23.1%. Revenue growth in Canada was upimpacted favorably by the significant asset growth and product transition from Single-Pay and Unsecured Installment loans to Open-End loans that have a lower yield. Additionally, Canada revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included interest earned on past-due Open-End loan balances of approximately $5 million from the Q1 2019 Open-End Loss Recognition Change, offset by higher provision rate and higher provision for losses.

Single-Pay revenue decreased $31.6 million, or 34.9%, to $58.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and Single-Pay receivables decreased $1.0 million, or ~~11.8%. Provision~~2.8%, to $35.1 million from $36.1 million in the prior year. The decreases in Single-Pay revenue and receivables were due to the continued product mix shift in Canada from Single-Pay loans to Open-End loans and by regulatory changes effective January and July 2018 that lowered Single Pay pricing year-over-year.

Canada non-Single-Pay revenue increased $58.4 million, or 119.0%, to $107.4 million compared to $49.0 million for the prior-year period, on $94.1 million, or 59.8%, growth in related loan balances. The increase was primarily related to the launch of Open-End products in Alberta and Ontario in the fourth quarter of 2017, and significant expansion of the Open-End product in Ontario in late 2018. As a result of the increase in Open-End loans, ancillary revenue increased $13.1 million versus the same period a year ago, primarily driven by an increase in sales of insurance to Open-End loan customers.

The provision for losses increased ~~$1.8 million, and increased $1.4~~$6.4 million, or ~~59.6%~~12.4%, to $57.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $51.3 million in the prior-year period primarily due to provisioning on Open-End loans and mix shift from Single-Pay loans and Unsecured Installment to Open-End loans. Total Open-End loans grew by $18.1 million sequentially during the third quarter of 2019, compared to sequential growth of $87.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis, ~~due~~provision for losses increased by $8.3 million, or 16.1%, compared to ~~growth in Installment Loan receivables.~~the prior-year period.

The total cost of providing services in ~~the U.K. increased $0.5~~Canada decreased $2.5 million, or ~~15.9% during~~4.2%, to $57.3 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018 as~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~prior year period due to additional customer acquisition spend. On a constant currency basis~~$59.9 million in the prior-year period. Advertising costs decreased by $3.9 million, or 42.4%, primarily from mix-shift and stability in our Canadian portfolio following the Ontario deployment of Open-End loans in the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increase in non-advertising cost of providing services of $1.4 million. There was no material impact on the cost of providing services from exchange rate changes.

Canada operating expenses increased ~~$0.1~~$8.4 million, or ~~3.2%.~~

~~Corporate, district and other expenses increased $0.5 million, or 10.1%~~52.0%, to ~~$5.0~~$24.4 million ~~for~~in the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018 as compared~~September 30, 2019 from $16.1 million in the prior-year period primarily due to interest expense on the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, corporate, district and other expenses increased $0.1 million, or 2.0%, and is consistent with quarterly run rates for the full year 2017 and represent normal baseline costs for the U.K.Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility that began in August 2018.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we provide certain “non-GAAP financial ~~measures” as defined under SEC rules,~~measures,” including:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, or the Adjusted Earnings Measures (net income from continuing operations plus or minus gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, restructuring and other costs, certain legal and related costs, loss from equity method investment, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, certain costs related to the disposition of U.K., transaction-related costs, share-based compensation, intangible asset amortization and cumulative tax effect of adjustments, on a total and per share basis);

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization);

Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus or minus certain non-cash and other adjusting items); and

Gross Combined Loans Receivable (includes loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs which are not included in our ~~consolidated financial statements)~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We believe that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of ~~our~~the Company's operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures ~~reflect an additional~~offer another way ~~of viewing~~to view aspects of our business that, when viewed with ~~its~~our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

We believe that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in ~~our~~the business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. WeIn addition, we believe that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these income or expense items. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors

and other interested parties in the evaluation of public companies in our industry, many of which present Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.

In addition to reporting loans receivable information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide Gross Combined Loans Receivable consisting of owned loans receivable plus loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO programs, which we guarantee but do not include in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes this analysis provides investors with important information needed to evaluate overall lending performance.

We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our U.S. GAAP ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Combined Loans Receivable should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, segment operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other liquidity measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ~~Rather, these measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, U.S. GAAP results.~~ Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, ~~our~~the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Description and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings ~~Measures,~~per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our income or cash flows as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

they do not include ~~our~~ cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

they do not include changes in, or cash requirements for, ~~our~~ working capital needs;

they do not include the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on ~~our~~ debt;

depreciation and amortization are non-cash expense items reported in ~~our~~the statements of cash flows; and

other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share utilizing diluted shares outstanding at year-end. If we record a loss from continuing operations under US GAAP, shares outstanding utilized to calculate Diluted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. Shares outstanding utilized to calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations reflect the number of diluted shares we would have reported if reporting net income from continuing operations under US GAAP.

As noted above, Gross Combined Loans Receivable includes loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs which are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but from which we earn revenue and for which we provide a guarantee to the lender. Management believes this analysis provides investors with important information needed to evaluate overall lending performance.

We evaluate our stores based on revenue per store, ~~net charge-offs~~provision for losses at each store and store-level EBITDA, ~~per store,~~ with consideration given to the length of time a store has been open and its geographic location. We monitor newer stores for their progress to profitability and their rate of revenue growth.

We believe Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings ~~Measures,~~per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and ~~our~~the capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented ~~below~~in this Form 10-Q may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity to fund the loans we make to our customers are cash provided by operations, our Senior Revolver, our Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility, funds from ~~third party~~third-party lenders under our CSO programs, and our Non-Recourse ~~U.S.~~Canada SPV Facility ~~which finances the originations of eligible U.S. Unsecured and Secured Installment Loans at an advance rate of 80%~~(defined below). ~~In 2017,~~During August 2018, we issued ~~our~~$690.0 million 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due September 2025 ("8.25% Senior Secured Notes") (i) to redeem the outstanding 12.00% Senior Secured Notes due ~~March 1,~~ 2022 ~~("Senior Secured Notes")~~of CFTC, (ii) to ~~refinance similar notes that were nearing maturity~~repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the five-year revolving credit facility of CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which consists of a term loan and revolving borrowing capacity, (iii) for general corporate purposes and (iv) to pay ~~dividends to our stockholders.~~ fees, expenses, premiums and accrued interest in connection with the foregoing.

As of ~~March 31, 2018,~~September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. We anticipate that our primary use of cash will be to fund growth in our working capital, finance capital expenditures, ~~and~~ meet our debt ~~obligations.~~obligations, and fund our share repurchase program. Our level of cash flow provided by operating activities typically experiences some seasonal fluctuation related to our levels of net income and changes in working capital levels, particularly loans receivable.

Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. We have the ability to adjust our volume of lending to consumers which would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through loan repayments to the extent we experience any short-term or long-term funding shortfalls. We may also sell or securitize our assets, draw on our available revolving credit facility or line of credit, enter into additional refinancing agreements and reduce our capital spending in order to generate additional liquidity. We believe our cash on hand and available borrowings provide us with sufficient liquidity for at least the next ~~twelve~~12 months.

8.25% Senior Secured Notes

As noted above, we issued our 8.25% Senior Secured Notes in August 2018. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year. In connection with the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes, we capitalized financing costs of $12.9 million, the balance of which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Debt, and is being amortized over the term of the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes and included as a component of interest expense.

12.00% Senior Secured Notes

In February and November 2017, CFTC issued $470.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, of 12.00% Senior Secured ~~Notes.~~Notes ("12.00% Senior Secured Notes"). Interest on the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes is payable semiannually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2017. The February 2017 issuance refinanced similar notes that were nearing maturity. The extinguishment of the existing notes resulted in a pretax loss of ~~$12.5~~$80.9 million ~~in the three months ended March 31, 2017.~~during September 2018. In connection with these 2017 debt issuances we capitalized financing costs of ~~approximately~~ $18.3 million, the balance of which is included in the ~~Interim~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of ~~“Long-Term~~ Debt,” and is being amortized over the term of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes ~~and included~~ as a component of interest expense.

On March 7, 2018, CFTC redeemed $77.5 million of its 12.00% Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering as required by the underlying indentures (the transaction whereby the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes were partially redeemed, the “Redemption”) at a price equal to 112.00% of the principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest paid thereon to the date of Redemption. Following the Redemption, $527.5 million of the original outstanding principal amount of the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding. The Redemption was conducted pursuant to the Indenture governing the 12.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 15, 2017, by and among CFTC, the guarantors party thereto and TMI Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent. ~~Consistent with the terms~~

The remainder of the ~~Indenture, CFTC used~~12.00% Senior Secured Notes were extinguished effective September 7, 2018 as a ~~portion~~result of the ~~cash proceeds from our initial public offering, completed in December 2017, to redeem such~~issuance of the 8.25% Senior Secured ~~Notes.~~Notes as described above.

Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility

In November 2016, CURO Receivables Finance I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “SPV Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with Victory Park Management, LLC and certain other lenders that ~~provides~~provided for an $80.0 million term loan and $70.0 million of revolving borrowing capacity that ~~can~~could expand over time (“Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility”). The loans bore interest at an annual rate of up to 12.00% plus the greater of (i) 1.0% per annum and (ii) three-month LIBOR. The SPV Borrower also pays a 0.50% per annum fee on the unused portion of the commitments. In connection with this facility, the capitalized financing costs at the time of extinguishment, as discussed below, were $5.3 million, net of amortization. These capitalized financing costs were included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of "Debt" and were amortized over the term of the Non-Recourse U.S. SPV Facility. During September 2018, a portion of the proceeds from the 8.25% Senior Secured Notes were used to extinguish the revolver's balance of $42.4 million.

On October 11, 2018, we extinguished the remaining term loan balance of $80.0 million. We made the final termination payment of $2.7 million on October 26, 2018, resulting in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility

On August 2, 2018, CURO Canada Receivables Limited Partnership, a newly created, bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (the “Canada SPV Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a four-year revolving credit facility with Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that provides for C$175.0 million of initial borrowing capacity and the ability to expand such capacity up to C$250.0 million (“Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility”). The loans bear interest at an annual rate of 6.75% plus the three-month CDOR. As of September 30, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Non-Recourse Canada SPV Facility were $102.5 million, net of deferred financing costs of $3.3 million.

Senior Revolver

InOn September 1, 2017, we closed on a $25.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Loan Facility ~~or the Senior Revolver.~~(the "Senior Revolver"). In February 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $29.0 million. In November 2018, the Senior Revolver capacity was increased to $50.0 million as permitted by the Indenture to the Senior Secured ~~Notes based upon consolidated tangible assets.~~Notes. The Senior Revolver is now syndicated with participation by ~~a second bank.~~four banks. The negative covenants of the Senior Revolver generally conform to the related provisions in the Indenture for our ~~12.00%~~8.25% Senior Secured Notes. We believe this facility complements our other financing sources, while providing seasonal short-term liquidity. Under the Senior Revolver, there is ~~$29.0~~$50.0 million maximum availability, including up to $5.0 million of standby letters of credit, for a one-year term, renewable for successive terms following annual review. The Senior Revolver accrues interest at the one-month LIBOR (which may not be negative) plus ~~5.00%~~5% per annum and is repayable on demand. The terms of the Senior Revolver require that the outstanding balance be ~~reduced to $0~~zero for at least 30 consecutive days in each calendar year. The Senior Revolver is guaranteed by all ~~subsidiaries~~ of ~~CURO~~our subsidiaries that guarantee our ~~12.00%~~8.25% Senior Secured Notes and is secured by a lien on substantially all ~~assets~~ of ~~CURO~~our assets and the guarantor subsidiaries that is senior to the lien securing our ~~12.00%~~8.25% Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Revolver ~~was undrawn~~had an outstanding balance of $25.0 million at ~~March 31, 2018.~~September 30, 2019.

In connection with this facility we capitalized financing costs of $0.1 million, the balance of which we included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other assets,” and are being amortized over the term of the facility and included as a component of interest expense.

Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility

Cash Money Cheque Cashing, Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, maintains a C$~~7.3~~10 million revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada. The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility provides short-term liquidity required to meet the working capital needs of our Canadian operations. Aggregate draws under the revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of: (i) the borrowing base, which is defined as a percentage of cash, deposits in transit and accounts receivable, and (ii) C$~~7.3~~10 million. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was reduced by C$0.3 million in stand-by-letters of credit.

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of Cash Money’s assets and contains various covenants that include, among other things, that the aggregate borrowings outstanding under the facility not exceed the borrowing base, restrictions on the encumbrance of assets and the creation of indebtedness. Borrowings under the Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility bear interest (per annum) at the prime rate of a Canadian chartered bank plus 1.95%.

The Cash Money Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn at ~~March 31, 2018~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

~~Recent developments regarding the CFPB Rule~~California Assembly Bill 539

The CFPB adopted a new rule applicable to payday vehicle title, and certain high-cost installment loans in November 2017, which we refer to in our 10-K as the CFPB Rule, with most provisions currently scheduled to become effective in August 2019. In January 2018, the CFPB announced that it intends to engage in a rulemaking process to reconsider the CFPB Rule pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Since the release of our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on April 9, 2018, the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA) and the Consumer Service Alliance of Texas filed a lawsuit against the CFPB in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, seeking to invalidate the CFPB Rule. The lawsuit alleges that the rule violates the APA because it exceeds the Bureau’s statutory authority and is arbitrary, capricious, and unsupported by substantial evidence. The lawsuit also argues that the CFPB’s structure is unconstitutional under the Constitution’s separation of powers because the agency’s powers are concentrated in a single, unchecked Director who is improperly insulated from both presidential supervision and congressional appropriation, and hence unaccountable to the American people. Additionally, as of the date of this Report, the CFPB Rule remains subject to potential override by disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. It is impossible to predict whether and when the CFPB Rule will go into effect and, if so, whether and how it might be modified.

~~California legislative activity~~

~~Three bills have been introduced in~~On September 13, 2019, the California ~~Assembly which would directly impact the products currently offered by us.~~legislature passed Assembly Bill ~~2500 would impose a 36% APR~~539 which imposes an interest rate cap on all consumer loans between $2,500 and ~~$5,000~~$10,000 of 36%, plus the Federal Funds Rate. On October 10, 2019, Governor Newsom signed the bill into law and it is scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2020. Revenue from California Unsecured and Secured Installment loans amounted to 11.8% and 13.0% of total revenue from continuing operations for the trailing three and 12 months ended, respectively, September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, California Unsecured and Secured Installment gross loans receivable were $86.4 million and $41.4 million, respectively. While we continue to optimize our installment loan portfolio in California as a ~~24% APR cap~~result of this bill, we continue to evaluate the effect on ~~all consumer loans between $5,000~~our results of operations and ~~$10,000. Assembly Bill 2953 would impose a 36% APR cap on auto title loans $2,500 or more. Assembly Bill 3010 would limit borrowers~~financial condition and alternatives available to ~~one outstanding payday loan at a time across all lenders using a common database to enforce the one loan restriction.~~

Assembly Bills 2500, 2953, and 3010 have passed out of the Assembly Committee on Banking and Finance and Assembly Bill 3010 has also passed out of the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection. All three bills have been referred to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations and may be called for a vote by the entire Assembly on or before June 1, 2018. June 1, 2018 is the deadline for bills originatingservice customers in the ~~Assembly~~California market. Refer to ~~cross over~~“Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of Part II of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the impact of this bill to our business.

California Consumer Privacy Act

In 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) was passed into law, effective January 1, 2020. CCPA broadens consumer rights with respect to personal information, imposing expanded obligations to disclose the categories and uses of personal information a business collects, providing consumers a right to access that information, a right to opt out of the sale of personal information and the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer subject to certain exemptions. CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which may increase the costs of data breach litigation. CCPA has been subject to a handful of amendments, of which AB25 is most impactful to us. Although AB25 sunsets January 2021, it narrows the definition of who constitutes a consumer, thereby excluding employees from CCPA rights other than notice and a private right of action for data breach. The State Attorney General has proposed regulations to help interpret the CCPA; final adoption is expected in February 2020. A potential ballot initiative may have additional impact should it make it to the ~~Senate~~polls in November 2020. Despite amendments and regulations, the CCPA remains ambiguous in many regards, and we anticipate further amendments both for CCPA and specifically addressing employee data next year. Other states and possibly the federal government may adopt laws similar to the CCPA. While it is too early to know its full impact, these developments could ultimately result in the imposition of requirements on CURO and other consumer financial service providers that could increases costs or otherwise adversely affect our business.

British Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Amendment Act

Effective January 1, 2017, the British Columbia Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General (the "Ministry") reduced the total cost of borrowing from C$23 per C$100 lent to C$17 per C$100 lent. A further reduction to C$15 per C$100 lent came into effect on September 1, 2018. On February 26, 2019, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General introduced in Parliament Bill 7 titled “Business Practices and Consumer Amendment Act." This bill received Royal Assent on May 16, 2019 and became law. There are no material changes to our current operations as a result of this legislation. The bill primarily allows the Ministry to (i) define a high cost credit product and (ii) require licensing and consumer protection oversight. It also authorizes the Ministry to prescribe regulations regarding high cost credit products including a cooling off period between loans, cost/optional services disclosure requirements, and prohibition of concurrent loan products. It is too early to predict the outcome of the regulations setting process and its impact on our operations.

CFPB Rulemaking Update

In February 2019, the CFPB issued two notices of proposed rulemaking proposing (i) to delay the August 19, 2019 compliance date for the so-called "Mandatory Underwriting Provisions" of the 2017 Final Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans (the "2017 Final Rule") Rule to November 19, 2020 and (ii) to rescind such Mandatory Underwriting Provisions (the “2019 Proposed Rule”). The CFPB issued a final rule on June 6, 2019 delaying the compliance date for the Mandatory Underwriting Provisions of the 2017 Final Rule to November 19, 2020. The Mandatory Underwriting Provisions which the 2019 Proposed Rule would rescind, which are still under consideration include: (i) a provision that it is an unfair and abusive practice for a lender to make a covered short-term or longer-term balloon-payment loan, including our payday and vehicle title loans with a ~~majority vote~~term of 45 days or less, without reasonably determining that consumers have the ability to repay those loans according to their terms; (ii) a provision that prescribes mandatory underwriting requirements for making this ability-to-repay determination; (iii) a provision that exempts certain loans from the mandatory underwriting requirements; and (iv) a provision that establishes related definitions, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The 2017 Final Rule is stayed, however, based on an order entered August 6, 2019 by the ~~Assembly floor. Should any~~Western District of ~~these bills receive a majority vote~~Texas, Austin Division (the "Court Order"). The parties in the ~~Assembly and move~~litigation are required to file a Joint Status Report with the court no later than December 6, 2019.

The compliance date for the "Payment Provision" of the 2017 Final Rule was August 19, 2019, but is also currently stayed pursuant to the ~~Senate, they will be initially assigned~~Court Order. Under the proposed "Payment Provisions":

~~These bills are still in the early stages~~collect money from a particular account of the ~~legislative process. It~~borrower, made through any channel (e.g., paper check, ACH, prepaid card) are returned for insufficient funds, the lender cannot make any further attempts to collect from such account unless the borrower has provided a new and specific authorization for additional payment transfers. The 2017 Final Rule contains specific requirements and conditions for the authorization. While the CFPB has explained that these provisions are designed to limit bank penalty fees to which consumers may be subject, and while banks do not charge penalty fees on debit card authorization requests, the 2017 Final Rule nevertheless treats card authorization requests as payment attempts subject to these limitations.

A lender generally must give the consumer at least three business days advance notice before attempting to collect payment by accessing a consumer’s checking, savings, or prepaid account. The notice must include information such as the date of the payment request, payment channel and payment amount (broken down by principal, interest, fees, and other charges), as well as additional information for “unusual attempts,” such as when the payment is ~~impossible~~for a different amount than the regular payment, initiated on a date other than the date of a regularly scheduled payment or initiated in a different channel that the immediately preceding payment attempt. A lender must also provide the borrower with a "consumer rights notice" in a prescribed form after two consecutive failed payment attempts.

The CFPB has indicated it has received a formal request to ~~predict if any~~revisit the treatment of ~~these bills will ultimately pass both chambers by~~debit cards under the ~~August 31, 2018 deadline, either~~Payment Provisions and intends to examine the Payment Provisions further. If the CFPB determines that further action is warranted, it may commence a separate rulemaking initiative.

CFPB Supervision and Examination: The CFPB has supervisory powers over many providers of consumer financial products and services, including explicit authority to examine (and require registration) of payday lenders. The CFPB released its Supervision and Examination Manual, which includes a section on Short-Term, Small-Dollar Lending Procedures, and began field examinations of industry participants in ~~their original form or an amended form. Until~~2012. The CFPB commenced its first supervisory examination of us in October 2014. The scope of the ~~legislative process has concluded, we cannot estimate the~~CFPB’s examination included a review of our Compliance Management System, our Short-Term Small Dollar lending procedures, and our compliance with Federal consumer financial protection laws. The 2014 examination had no material impact toon our ~~business~~financial condition or results of operations, ~~if any. For~~and we received the ~~quarter ending March 31, 2018, California represented 22.7%~~final CFPB Examination Report in September 2015.

The CFPB commenced its second examination of us in February 2017 and completed the related field work in June 2017. The scope of the 2017 examination included a review of our ~~total US revenues.~~Compliance Management System, our substantive compliance with applicable federal laws, and matters requiring attention. The 2017 examination had no material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, and we received the final CFPB Examination Report in February 2018.

The CFPB commenced its third examination of us on October 7, 2019. This examination is a limited scope review to ensure continued compliance. While we do not expect that matters arising from this examination will have a material impact on us, we have made in recent years and are continuing to make, at least in part to meet CFPB expectations, certain enhancements to our compliance procedures and consumer disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about our market risks, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our ~~2017 Annual Report on~~2018 Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to the amounts presented ~~therein except for the following:~~therein.

~~Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk~~

As foreign currency exchange rates change, translation of the financial results of the United Kingdom and Canadian operations into U.S. Dollars will be impacted. Our operations in Canada and the United Kingdom representLIBOR is used as a ~~significant portion~~reference rate for certain of our total operations, and as a result, a material change in foreign currency exchange rates in either country could have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, we may elect to purchase financial instruments, such as ~~hedges against foreign exchange rate risks with~~our revolving credit facilities. LIBOR is set to be phased out at the ~~objective~~end of ~~protecting our results of operations in~~2021. We are currently reviewing how the ~~United Kingdom and/or Canada against foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports ~~that it files~~we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as disclosed in Item 9A of our 2018 Form 10-K, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2018 because of the identification of a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation and changes in internal control over financial reporting

We are taking actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including implementing plans as identified in Item 9A of our 2018 Form 10-K, to address our material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed in 2019.

Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on the effectiveness of controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. ~~Based on an evaluation~~A

control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of ~~our~~such limitations, disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018.

~~Internal control over financial reporting~~

~~There were no changes in our~~ internal control over financial reporting ~~(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under~~cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the ~~Exchange Act) during~~financial reporting process, therefore, it is possible to design into the ~~quarter ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely~~process safeguards to ~~materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.~~reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

~~PART 2. OTHER INFORMATION~~

~~ITEM~~Item 1. ~~LEGAL PROCEEDINGS~~Legal Proceedings

The information required by this item is included in Note 13 ~~“Contingent Liabilities”~~- "Contingent Liabilities" of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this ~~Quarterly Report~~Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

~~ITEM~~Item 1A. ~~RISK FACTORS~~Risk Factors

There were no material changes to our risk factors as described in our ~~Annual Report on~~2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017 other than~~2018, except for the following:

~~The CFPB promulgated new rules applicable to our loans that~~Our industry is strictly regulated everywhere we operate, and these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~First,~~We are subject to substantial regulation everywhere we operate. In the U.S. and Canada, our business is subject to a variety of statutes and regulations enacted by government entities at the federal, state or provincial, and municipal levels. These regulations affect our business in many ways, and include regulations relating to:

the amount we may charge in interest rates and fees;

the terms of our loans (such as maximum and minimum durations), repayment requirements and limitations, number and frequency of loans, maximum loan amounts, renewals and extensions, required repayment plans and reporting and use of state-wide databases;

underwriting requirements;

collection and servicing activity, including initiation of payments from consumer accounts;

the establishment and operation of CSOs or CABs;

licensing, reporting and document retention;

unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices;

discrimination;

disclosures, notices, advertising and marketing;

loans to members of the military and their dependents;

requirements governing electronic payments, transactions, signatures and disclosures;

check cashing;

money transmission;

currency and suspicious activity recording and reporting;

privacy and use of personally identifiable information and consumer data, including credit reports;

anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements, including currency and suspicious transaction recording and reporting;

posting of fees and charges; and

repossession practices in certain jurisdictions where we operate as a title lender, including requirements regarding notices and prompt remittance of excess proceeds for the sale of repossessed automobiles.

For a more detailed description of the regulations to which we are subject and the regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which we operate see “Regulatory Environment and Compliance” in our 2018 Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q.

These regulations, outside of our control, affect our business in many ways, including affecting the loans and other products we can offer, the prices we can charge, the other terms of our loans and other products, the customers to whom we are allowed to lend, how we obtain our customers, how we communicate with our customers, how we pursue repayment of our loans and many others. Consequently, these restrictions adversely affect our loan volume, revenues, delinquencies and other aspects of our business, including our results of operations.

For example, in June 2018, we discontinued the use of secondary payment cards for affected borrowers who do not explicitly reauthorize the use of secondary payment cards. For these borrowers, in the event we cannot obtain payment through the bank account or payment card listed on the borrower’s application and as authorized by the borrower, we must rely exclusively on other collection methods, such as delinquency notices and/or collection calls. The discontinuation for affected borrowers of our current use of secondary cards which have not been reauthorized by the borrower will increase collections costs and reduce collections effectiveness. Even in advance of the effective date of the 2017 Final CFPB Rule (and even if the 2017 Final CFPB Rule does not become effective), it is possible that we will make further changes to our payment practices in a manner that will increase costs and/or reduce revenues.

In addition, on September 13, 2019, the California legislature passed Assembly Bill 539 which imposes an interest rate cap on all consumer loans between $2,500 and $10,000 of 36% plus the Federal Funds Rate. On October 10, 2019, Governor Newsom

signed the bill into law and it is scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2020. Revenue from California Unsecured and Secured Installment loans amounted to 11.8% and 13.0% of total revenue from continuing operations for the trailing three and 12 months, respectively, for the period ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, California Unsecured and Secured Installment gross loans receivable were $86.4 million and $41.4 million, respectively. We continue to evaluate the effect on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of this bill and alternatives available to service customers in the California market. If we are unsuccessful in managing the transition of our California business and operations from affected installment loans to existing and alternative products, Assembly Bill 539 could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Further, during 2018, the ~~CFPB announced~~California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) was passed into law, effective January 1, 2020. CCPA broadens consumer rights with respect to their personal information, imposing expanded obligations to disclose the categories and uses of personal information a business collects, providing consumers a right to access that information, a right to opt out of the sale of personal information and the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer subject to certain exemptions. CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which may increase the costs of data breach litigation. CCPA has been subject to a handful of amendments, of whichAB25 is the most impactful to us. Although AB25 sunsets January 2021, it ~~intends~~narrows the definition of who constitutes a consumer, thereby excluding employees from CCPA rights other than notice and a private right of action for data breach. The State Attorney General has proposed regulations to ~~engage~~help interpret the CCPA; final adoption is expected in ~~a rulemaking process to reconsider the CFPB Rule pursuant~~February 2020. A potential ballot initiative may have additional impact should it make it to the ~~Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Second, on April 9 2018,~~polls in November 2020. Despite amendments and regulations, the ~~Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA)~~CCPA remains ambiguous in many regards, and we anticipate further amendments both for CCPA and specifically addressing employee data next year. Other states and possibly the ~~Consumer Service Alliance of Texas filed a lawsuit against~~federal government may adopt laws similar to the ~~CFPB~~CCPA. While it is too early to know its full impact, these developments could ultimately result in the ~~U.S. District Court for the Western District~~imposition of ~~Texas, Austin Division, seeking to invalidate the CFPB Rule. The lawsuit alleges~~requirements on CURO and other consumer financial service providers that the rule violates the APA because it exceeds the Bureau’s statutory authority and is arbitrary, capricious, and unsupported by substantial evidence. The lawsuit also argues that the CFPB’s structure is unconstitutional under the Constitution’s separation of powers because the agency’s powers are concentrated in a single, unchecked Director who is improperly insulated from both presidential supervision and congressional appropriation, and hence unaccountable to the American people.could increases costs or otherwise adversely affect our business.

~~ITEM~~Item 2. ~~UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS~~Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

~~None.~~The 2017 Incentive Plan permits the netting of common stock upon vesting of restricted stock units to satisfy individual tax withholding requirements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we did not reacquire any shares of common stock related to such tax withholdings.

In April 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase program, which began June 2019, will continue until completed or terminated. We expect the purchases to be made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or both, at our discretion and subject to market conditions and other factors. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with equity plans or other corporate purposes.

Separately, in August 2019, the Company entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) with FFL, a related party to the Company. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, owned by FFL, in a private transaction at a purchase price equal to $13.55 per share of Common Stock. The purchase price was determined by using the Company's closing common stock price on August 29, 2019 of $13.97, less a discount of 3.0%. This transaction occurred outside of the share repurchase program authorized in April 2019.

The following table provides information with respect to purchases we made of our common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
