Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Financial Reporting | Basis of Financial ReportingThe accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report"). |

Loan Sales The Company has sold portfolios of loans to unrelated third parties who securitized such loans. As partial consideration received for the loans sold, the Company received residual interest in the loan securitizations that are included in "investments and notes receivable" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for each of the Company's loan portfolios. Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Non-Nelnet Bank: Federally insured loans 0.11 % 0.15 % 0.16 % 0.13 % Private education loans 0.61 % 1.23 % 0.94 % 1.22 % Consumer and other loans 9.57 % 1.96 % 4.59 % 2.54 % Nelnet Bank: Federally insured loans 0.03 % 0.00 % 0.01 % 0.00 % Private education loans 0.05 % 0.00 % 0.25 % 0.04 % Consumer and other loans 5.69 % — 3.00 % — Unfunded Loan Commitments As of September 30, 2023, Nelnet Bank has a liability of approximately $217,000 related to $13.1 million of unfunded private education and consumer loan commitments. The liability for unfunded loan commitments is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Nelnet Bank recognized provision for loan losses of approximately $132,000 and approximately $65,000, respectively, related to unfunded loan commitments. Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the troubled debt restructurings recognition and measurement guidance and instead requires an entity to evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The guidance also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and vintage disclosures reflecting gross charge-offs by year of origination. Under the Higher Education Act, federally insured loan borrowers may be granted a deferment or forbearance for a period of time based on need. In addition, eligible borrowers may qualify for income-driven repayment plans offered by the Department of Education (the "Department"). Because federally insured loan modifications are driven by the Higher Education Act, the Company does not consider these events as part of its loan modification programs. Administrative forbearances (e.g. bankruptcy, military service, death and disability, and disaster forbearance) are required by law and therefore are also not considered as part of the Company's loan modification programs. The Company does offer payment delays in the form of deferments or forbearances on certain private education and consumer loan programs for short-term periods. The Company generally considers payment delays to be insignificant when the delay is 3 months or less. The amortized cost of the Company’s private education and consumer loans in which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the financial effect of such loan modifications is not material. Key Credit Quality Indicators Loan Status and Delinquencies Key credit quality indicators for the Company’s federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loan portfolios are loan status, including delinquencies. The impact of changes in loan status is incorporated into the allowance for loan losses calculation. Delinquencies have the potential to adversely impact the Company’s earnings through increased servicing and collection costs and account charge-offs. The following table presents the Company’s loan status and delinquency amounts.

Included in “bonds and notes payable” in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 was $336.5 million subject to this agreement. On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a separate repurchase agreement with a non-affiliated third party, which was collateralized by certain private education and FFELP loan asset-backed securities (bond investments). The outstanding balance of this facility was paid in full during the third quarter of 2023. See note 5 and below under "Debt Repurchases" for additional information about the private education and FFELP loan asset-backed securities investments, respectively, serving as collateral for this repurchase agreement. Debt Repurchases The following table summarizes the Company's repurchases of its own debt. Gains/losses recorded by the Company from the repurchase of debt are included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Upon a sale of these notes to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale. As of September 30, 2023, the Company holds $257.3 million (par value) of its own FFELP loan asset-backed securities. As of September 30, 2023, $118.9 million (par value) of the Company's repurchased FFELP loan asset-backed securities were serving as collateral on amounts outstanding under the Company's repurchase agreement (as discussed above). In April 2023, the Company redeemed $188.6 million of FFELP loan asset-backed debt securities (bonds and notes payable) prior to their maturity, of which the Company owned $140.5 million of the bonds that were redeemed. The remaining unamortized debt discount associated with these bonds at the time of redemption was written-off, resulting in a $25.9 million non-cash expense recognized in April 2023. This expense is included in "interest expense on bonds and notes payable and bank deposits" on the consolidated statements of income. |

Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage interest rate risk. Derivative instruments used as part of the Company's interest rate risk management strategy are further described in note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report. A tabular presentation of such derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is presented below. Non-Nelnet Bank Derivatives Basis Swaps The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding basis swaps, in which the Company received three-month LIBOR set discretely in advance and paid one-month LIBOR plus or minus a spread as defined in the agreements (the "1:3 Basis Swaps"). Subsequent to the discontinuation of LIBOR on June 30, 2023, the Company now receives and pays the term adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus the tenor spread adjustment to LIBOR.

Through March 15, 2023, the Company had received cash or had a receivable from the clearinghouse related to variation margin equal to the fair value of the $2.8 billion notional amount of fixed rate floor derivatives as of March 15, 2023 of $183.2 million, which included $19.1 million related to current period settlements. (b) For the interest rate derivative maturing in 2030, the Company receives payments based on SOFR that resets quarterly. For all other interest rate derivatives that were terminated, the Company received payments based on three-month LIBOR that reset quarterly. (c) The Company entered into this derivative in June 2023. Nelnet Bank Derivatives Interest Rate Swaps Derivative instruments are used by Nelnet Bank to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows of variable rate intercompany deposits primarily to minimize the exposure to volatility in cash flows from future changes in interest rates. Nelnet Bank has structured these derivatives so that each is economically effective; however, because these derivatives are hedging intercompany deposits, the derivative instruments are not eligible for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the change in market value of these derivative instruments is reported in current period earnings and presented in "derivative market value adjustments and derivative settlements, net" included in the consolidated statements of income. The following table summarizes the outstanding derivative instruments used by Nelnet Bank to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows related to variable rate intercompany deposits as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 Maturity Notional amount Weighted average fixed rate paid by the Company (a) 2028 $ 40,000 3.33 % 2030 (b) 50,000 3.06 2032 (c) 25,000 4.03 $ 115,000 3.36 % (a) For all interest rate derivatives, the Company receives payments based on SOFR that reset monthly or quarterly. (b) These $25 million notional amount derivatives have forward effective start dates in April 2026 and May 2026, respectively. (c) This $25 million notional amount derivative has a forward effective start date in February 2027. Unlike the Company's Non-Nelnet Bank derivatives, Nelnet Bank's derivatives are not cleared post-execution at a regulated clearinghouse. As such, the Company records these derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. As of September 30, 2023, the gross fair value of Nelnet Bank's interest rate swap derivatives was $3.1 million (an asset) that is included in "other assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2023, the par value and fair value of these securities was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. (b) A portion of private education loan asset-backed securities were subject to a repurchase agreement with a third party, as discussed in note 3 under "Repurchase Agreements." As of September 30, 2023, the par value and fair value of these securities was $294.5 million and $260.1 million, respectively. (c) On March 31, 2023, securities at Nelnet Bank with a fair value of $149.2 million were transferred from available-for-sale to held to maturity. The securities were reclassified at fair value at the time of the transfer, and such transfer represented a non-cash transaction. Accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2023 included pre-tax unrealized losses of $3.7 million related to the transfer. These unrealized losses are being amortized, consistent with the amortization of any discounts on such securities, over the remaining lives of the respective securities as an adjustment of yield. (d) On March 31, 2023, certain Non-Nelnet Bank debt securities were transferred from held to maturity to available-for-sale. (e) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”) that is included in “venture capital and funds” in the above table. On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in Hudl for $31.5 million. Such ownership interests were purchased by the Company from certain existing Hudl investors. The Company accounts for its investment in Hudl using the measurement alternative method, which requires it to adjust its carrying value of the investment for changes resulting from observable market transactions. The February 6, 2023 transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities, and the price was privately negotiated between the Company and the selling parties. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the February 2023 transaction value. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl is $165.5 million, and the Company's equity ownership interests did not materially change as a result of the February 6, 2023 transaction. David S. Graff, who has served on the Company's Board of Directors since May 2014, is CEO, co-founder, and a director of Hudl. (f) During the first quarter of 2023, the Company contributed $8.4 million of additional equity to ALLO Holdings LLC, a holding company for ALLO Communications LLC (collectively referred to as "ALLO"). As a result of this equity contribution, the Company's voting membership interests percentage in ALLO did not materially change. The Company accounts for its voting membership interests in ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of accounting. The Company recognized losses under the HLBV method of accounting on its ALLO voting membership interests investment of $17.3 million and $17.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $49.7 million and $47.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Losses from the Company's investment in ALLO are included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. (g) As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding preferred membership interests and accrued and unpaid preferred return of ALLO held by the Company was $145.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company earn a preferred annual return of 6.25%. The Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $2.3 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $6.8 million and $6.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This income is included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. (h) The Company has partial ownership in certain consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan securitizations. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of September 30, 2023, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $660 million, $540 million, and $350 million of consumer, private education, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. (i) As of September 30, 2023, the Company has funded a total of $332.0 million in solar investments, which includes $126.5 million funded by syndication partners. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in a solar project is reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed-in-service. The solar investment balance as of September 30, 2023 represents the sum of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed-in-service through September 30, 2023 and the calculated HLBV net losses being larger than the total investment contributions made by the Company on such projects. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is committed to fund an additional $265.9 million on tax equity investments, of which $128.7 million is expected to be provided by syndication partners. The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company’s solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. The Company recognized losses on its solar investments of $3.6 million and $4.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.5 million and $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These losses, which include losses attributable to third-party noncontrolling interest investors (syndication partners), are included in “other, net” in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. Solar losses attributed to noncontrolling interest investors was $1.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $12.0 million and $8.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is reflected in “net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of income. Excluding losses attributed to noncontrolling interest investors, the Company recognized losses on its solar investments of $1.8 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and losses of $1.5 million and gains of $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

These securities are segregated between investments that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and twelve months or more, based on the point in time that the fair value declined below the amortized cost basis. All securities in the table below have been evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists. As part of that assessment, the Company concluded it currently has the intent and ability to retain these investments, and none of the unrealized losses were due to credit losses.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Major Customer | Major Customer Government Loan Servicing Nelnet Servicing, LLC (Nelnet Servicing) and Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc. (Great Lakes), both subsidiaries of the Company, are two of the current five private sector entities that have student loan servicing contracts with the Department. Revenue earned by the Company related to these contracts was $100.2 million and $104.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $304.8 million and $312.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company also earned remote hosted servicing revenue by licensing its software to certain third-party servicers for the Department. Contract Modifications and Award Effective April 1, 2023, the Department modified the student loan servicing contracts between the Department and each of Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes (the “servicing contracts”) to reduce the monthly fee under the servicing contracts by $0.19 per borrower on certain borrower statuses. The Company's current student loan servicing contracts with the Department were scheduled to expire on December 14, 2023. In April 2023, Nelnet Diversified Solutions, LLC (NDS), a subsidiary of the Company, received a contract award from the Department, pursuant to which NDS was selected to provide continued servicing capabilities for the Department's student aid recipients under a new Unified Servicing and Data Solution (USDS) contract (the "New Government Servicing Contract") which will replace the existing legacy Department student loan servicing contracts. On October 11, 2023, the USDS contract awarded to NDS was novated to Nelnet Servicing. The New Government Servicing Contract is effective April 24, 2023 and has a five year base period, with 2 two-year and 1 one-year possible extensions. The Department's total loan servicing volume of more than 37 million existing borrowers will be allocated by the Department to Nelnet Servicing and four other third-party servicers that were awarded a USDS contract based on service and performance levels. Under the New Government Servicing Contract, Nelnet Servicing immediately began to make required servicing platform enhancements, for which it will be compensated from the Department on certain of these investments. In April 2023, the Department indicated that servicing under the USDS contracts will go live in 2024 and it will extend the current legacy servicing contracts from December 14, 2023 to December 2024. Until servicing under the USDS contracts goes live, which is anticipated to be during the second quarter of 2024, the Company will continue to earn revenue for servicing borrowers under its current legacy servicing contracts with the Department. The new USDS servicing contracts have multiple revenue components with tiered pricing based on borrower volume, while revenue earned under the legacy servicing contracts is primarily based on borrower status. Assuming borrower volume remains consistent under the USDS servicing contract, the Company expects revenue earned on a per borrower blended basis will decrease under the USDS contract versus the current legacy contracts. However, consistent with the current legacy contracts, the Company expects to earn additional revenue from the Department under the USDS servicing contract for change requests, consolidations, and other support services. As discussed below, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company completed the transfer of Great Lakes direct loan servicing volume to the Nelnet servicing platform. The associated cost savings with moving government borrowers to one servicing platform will be partially offset under the USDS contract as the Company will incur additional costs for cybersecurity and other system specifications as required under the new contract. Loan Volume Transfers - Full Service Borrowers In February 2023, the Department notified the Company of its intention to transfer up to one million of the Company’s existing Department servicing borrowers to another third-party servicer. This transfer decision was not based on the Company's performance. These transfers began in the second quarter of 2023 and were completed in July 2023. In addition, the Company completed the transfer of active borrowers of Great Lakes direct loan servicing volume to the Nelnet servicing platform (the GreatNet Federal servicing platform) during the second quarter of 2023. The Company anticipates the decommissioning of the Great Lakes' platform to be completed by the end of 2023. Therefore, potential associated cost savings as a result of transferring direct loan servicing volume to one platform will not be recognized in operating results until 2024. Loan Volume Transfers - Remote Hosted Servicing Borrowers Edfinancial Services, LLC ("Edfinancial"), a current servicer for the Department, utilized Nelnet Servicing's platform to service their loans for the Department (remote hosted servicing customer). In the fourth quarter of 2022, Nelnet Servicing and Edfinancial reached an agreement on a decommission schedule transferring Edfinancial’s direct loan servicing volume to another third-party servicing platform. As of December 31, 2022, Edfinancial was servicing 4.5 million borrowers for the Department on the Company’s platform. The Company began transferring Edfinancial's servicing volume to another servicing platform in the first quarter of 2023 which reduced the number of Edfinancial's borrowers serviced on the Company's platform to 3.5 million borrowers as of March 31, 2023 and 579,000 borrowers as of June 30, 2023. Edfinancial's remaining borrowers were transferred off of the Company's platform in July 2023. In February 2023, the Company’s other remote hosted servicing customer notified the Company the Department intended to move that customer’s servicing borrowers to a different third-party servicing platform. This transfer decision was the result of this customer not being one of the servicers awarded a USDS contract. As of March 31, 2023, this remote hosted servicing customer was servicing 1.4 million borrowers for the Department on the Company's platform. The majority of this volume was transferred to another third-party servicing platform during the second quarter of 2023, and the remaining borrowers were transferred off of the Company's platform in July 2023. As a result of the transfers discussed above, the Company currently has no remaining Department remote hosted servicing borrowers on its platform and software services revenue will be negatively impacted in future periods. However, the Company has executed an agreement with a third-party servicer awarded a USDS contract to license its servicing software to such entity and the Company anticipates earning remote hosted servicing revenue from this new customer when USDS goes live beginning in the second quarter of 2024.

(b) Nelnet Bank derivatives are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using a market approach in which derivative pricing models use the stated terms of the contracts and observable yield curves and volatilities from active markets. When determining the fair value of derivatives, Nelnet Bank takes into account counterparty credit risk for positions where it is exposed to the counterparty on a net basis by assessing exposure net of collateral held. The net exposures for each counterparty are adjusted based on market information available for the specific counterparty.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Financial Reporting | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the par value and fair value of these securities was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. (b) A portion of private education loan asset-backed securities were subject to a repurchase agreement with a third party, as discussed in note 3 under "Repurchase Agreements." As of September 30, 2023, the par value and fair value of these securities was $294.5 million and $260.1 million, respectively. (c) On March 31, 2023, securities at Nelnet Bank with a fair value of $149.2 million were transferred from available-for-sale to held to maturity. The securities were reclassified at fair value at the time of the transfer, and such transfer represented a non-cash transaction. Accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2023 included pre-tax unrealized losses of $3.7 million related to the transfer. These unrealized losses are being amortized, consistent with the amortization of any discounts on such securities, over the remaining lives of the respective securities as an adjustment of yield. (d) On March 31, 2023, certain Non-Nelnet Bank debt securities were transferred from held to maturity to available-for-sale. (e) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”) that is included in “venture capital and funds” in the above table. On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in Hudl for $31.5 million. Such ownership interests were purchased by the Company from certain existing Hudl investors. The Company accounts for its investment in Hudl using the measurement alternative method, which requires it to adjust its carrying value of the investment for changes resulting from observable market transactions. The February 6, 2023 transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities, and the price was privately negotiated between the Company and the selling parties. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the February 2023 transaction value. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl is $165.5 million, and the Company's equity ownership interests did not materially change as a result of the February 6, 2023 transaction. David S. Graff, who has served on the Company's Board of Directors since May 2014, is CEO, co-founder, and a director of Hudl. (f) During the first quarter of 2023, the Company contributed $8.4 million of additional equity to ALLO Holdings LLC, a holding company for ALLO Communications LLC (collectively referred to as "ALLO"). As a result of this equity contribution, the Company's voting membership interests percentage in ALLO did not materially change. The Company accounts for its voting membership interests in ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of accounting. The Company recognized losses under the HLBV method of accounting on its ALLO voting membership interests investment of $17.3 million and $17.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $49.7 million and $47.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Losses from the Company's investment in ALLO are included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. (g) As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding preferred membership interests and accrued and unpaid preferred return of ALLO held by the Company was $145.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company earn a preferred annual return of 6.25%. The Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $2.3 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $6.8 million and $6.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This income is included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. (h) The Company has partial ownership in certain consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan securitizations. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of September 30, 2023, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $660 million, $540 million, and $350 million of consumer, private education, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. (i) As of September 30, 2023, the Company has funded a total of $332.0 million in solar investments, which includes $126.5 million funded by syndication partners. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in a solar project is reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed-in-service. The solar investment balance as of September 30, 2023 represents the sum of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed-in-service through September 30, 2023 and the calculated HLBV net losses being larger than the total investment contributions made by the Company on such projects. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is committed to fund an additional $265.9 million on tax equity investments, of which $128.7 million is expected to be provided by syndication partners. The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company’s solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. The Company recognized losses on its solar investments of $3.6 million and $4.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.5 million and $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These losses, which include losses attributable to third-party noncontrolling interest investors (syndication partners), are included in “other, net” in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income. Solar losses attributed to noncontrolling interest investors was $1.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $12.0 million and $8.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is reflected in “net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of income. Excluding losses attributed to noncontrolling interest investors, the Company recognized losses on its solar investments of $1.8 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and losses of $1.5 million and gains of $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |

(b) Nelnet Bank derivatives are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using a market approach in which derivative pricing models use the stated terms of the contracts and observable yield curves and volatilities from active markets. When determining the fair value of derivatives, Nelnet Bank takes into account counterparty credit risk for positions where it is exposed to the counterparty on a net basis by assessing exposure net of collateral held. The net exposures for each counterparty are adjusted based on market information available for the specific counterparty. |
