Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company’s fair value methodologies, see “ Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” in the Annual Report. The Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value as listed in the following tables. Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: September 30, 2021 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Balance at Assets: Loans held for sale at fair value $ — $ — $ 152,160 $ 152,160 Retail and certificate loans held for investment at fair value — — 298,541 298,541 Other loans held for investment at fair value — — 27,229 27,229 Securities available for sale: U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed securities — 113,894 — 113,894 Asset-backed senior securities and subordinated securities — 37,708 11,810 49,518 Commercial mortgage-backed securities — 28,644 — 28,644 Other asset-backed securities — 27,846 — 27,846 U.S. agency securities — 27,410 — 27,410 CLUB Certificate asset-backed securities — — 24,176 24,176 Municipal securities — 3,242 — 3,242 Other securities — 200 — 200 Total securities available for sale — 238,944 35,986 274,930 Servicing assets — — 63,573 63,573 Other assets — 3,235 5,357 8,592 Total assets $ — $ 242,179 $ 582,846 $ 825,025 Liabilities: Retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings $ — $ — $ 298,541 $ 298,541 Payable on Structured Program borrowings — — 89,252 89,252 Other liabilities — — 17,941 17,941 Total liabilities $ — $ — $ 405,734 $ 405,734 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Inputs Level 2 Inputs Level 3 Inputs Balance at Assets: Loans held for sale at fair value $ — $ — $ 121,902 $ 121,902 Retail and certificate loans held for investment at fair value — — 636,686 636,686 Other loans held for investment at fair value — — 49,954 49,954 Securities available for sale: Asset-backed senior securities and subordinated securities — 75,372 16,515 91,887 CLUB Certificate asset-backed securities — — 50,139 50,139 Other securities — 200 — 200 Total securities available for sale — 75,572 66,654 142,226 Servicing assets — — 56,347 56,347 Total assets $ — $ 75,572 $ 931,543 $ 1,007,115 Liabilities: Retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings $ — $ — $ 636,774 $ 636,774 Payable on Structured Program borrowings — — 152,808 152,808 Other liabilities — — 12,270 12,270 Total liabilities $ — $ — $ 801,852 $ 801,852 Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities presented in the tables above, caused by a change in the Company’s risk are reported in other comprehensive income (OCI). For the third quarters and first nine months of 2021 and 2020, the amount reported in OCI is zero because these financial liabilities are either payable only upon receipt of cash flows from underlying loans or secured by cash collateral. Financial instruments are categorized in the valuation hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. Since the financial instruments listed in the tables above do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, changes in fair value for assets and liabilities within the Level 2 or Level 3 categories may include changes in fair value that were attributable to observable and unobservable inputs, respectively. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs, the Company transferred $517 thousand of asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions out of Level 3 during the first nine months of 2020. The Company did not transfer any other assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 during the third quarters and first nine months of 2021. Fair valuation adjustments are recorded through earnings related to Level 3 instruments for the third quarters and first nine months of 2021 and 2020. Certain unobservable inputs may (in isolation) have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input. Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value Significant Unobservable Inputs The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 loans held for sale at fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Minimum Maximum Weighted- Minimum Maximum Weighted- Discount rates 5.2 % 11.6 % 9.1 % 7.6 % 16.0 % 8.5 % Net cumulative expected loss rates (1) 2.5 % 25.6 % 9.8 % 5.0 % 28.0 % 8.2 % Cumulative expected prepayment rates (1) 30.6 % 44.8 % 36.0 % 27.2 % 41.2 % 30.4 % (1) Expressed as a percentage of the original principal balance of the loan.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Input Sensitivity At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the retail note, certificate and secured borrowings’ fair values used the same projected net cash flows as their related retail loans. As demonstrated by the following tables, the fair value adjustments for retail and certificate loans held for investment were largely offset by the corresponding fair value adjustments due to the payment dependent design of the retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings.
