SPRINGLEAF HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2014
1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation, primarily owned by Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”).
On October 21, 2013, SHI completed the initial public offering of its common stock. At September 30, 2014, the Initial Stockholder owned approximately 75% of SHI’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) and AIG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”).
SHI is a financial services holding company whose principal subsidiary is Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”). SFI’s principal subsidiary is Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”), a financial services holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the consumer finance and credit insurance businesses.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SHI, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain indirect subsidiaries associated with a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.
We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting.
In connection with SHI’s initial public offering of its common stock previously discussed, SFI became a wholly owned subsidiary of SHI. As a result, the financial statements of SFI have been adjusted on a retrospective basis, as appropriate, as financial statements of SHI.
Prior Period Revisions
As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous applicable quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
See Note 17 for further information on the prior period revisions.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, we identified that the disclosure of the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2013, was previously incorrectly overstated by $26.8 million. The parenthetical disclosure of the allowance of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related VIE disclosures in Notes 3 and 8 have been revised in this report to $153.7 million.
During the first quarter of 2014, we also discovered that our long-term debt associated with securitizations that were issued at a discount and which had embedded derivatives, was incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosure of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis. The affected fair value amount has been corrected in Note 18 in this report to include the fair value of our long-term debt measured on a recurring basis of $363.7 million at December 31, 2013.
During the second quarter of 2014, we discovered that we incorrectly disclosed the carrying values at the date of sale of the real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization and certain additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014. The affected carrying values have been corrected in Notes 1, 3, and 4 in this report as follows: (i) the carrying value of real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization that were sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $742.0 million but has been corrected to be $724.9 million and (ii) the carrying value of additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $93.3 million but has been corrected to be $89.9 million.
After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections (individually and in the aggregate), management has determined that our previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
Fortress Acquisition
Due to the significance of the ownership interest acquired by FCFI Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Fortress, (the “Fortress Acquisition”), the nature of the transaction, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SFI as an acquired business. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the Fortress Acquisition, November 30, 2010, in accordance with business combination accounting standards (“push-down accounting”).
SIGNIFICANT REAL ESTATE LOAN TRANSACTIONS
In the third quarter of 2014, we entered into a series of transactions relating to the sales of our beneficial interests in our non-core real estate loans, the related servicing of these loans, and the sales of certain performing and non-performing real estate loans. The 2006-1 Securitization Assets Sale, the Securitization Assets Sale, the MSR Sale, and the September Whole Loan Sales are each defined below and are collectively referred to as the “Asset Sale.” The Asset Sale, along with the real estate transactions that were completed in the first half of 2014 (the “Prior Dispositions”) substantially complete the Company’s previously disclosed plan to liquidate its non-core real estate loans.
In conjunction with these real estate loan transactions, we have closed our servicing centers in Dallas, Texas, Rancho Cucamonga, California, and Wesley Chapel, Florida, and have eliminated certain staff positions in our Evansville, Indiana, location. In total, approximately 300 staff positions were eliminated. However, the total reduction in workforce was approximately 170 employees, as 130 employees have been transferred into other positions at Springleaf. We recorded restructuring costs of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 due to the workforce reductions and the closings of the servicing facilities.
Our insurance subsidiaries have written certain insurance policies on properties collateralizing the loans that have been deconsolidated or disposed of as a result of these sales. As part of the disposition, the insurance policies associated with the sold loans have been or will be cancelled.
The “2006-1 Securitization Assets Sale”
On July 31, 2014, Second Street Funding LLC (“Second Street”), an indirect subsidiary of SHI, entered into an agreement to sell certain mortgage-backed notes and trust certificates issued by American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-1 to an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of $9.5 million subject to customary closing conditions. On August 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. Second Street completed this transaction on September 30, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $87.8 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the securitization trust holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
The “Securitization Assets Sale”
On August 6, 2014, SFC and Eighth Street Funding, LLC, Eleventh Street Funding, LLC, Twelfth Street Funding, LLC, Fourteenth Street Funding, LLC, Fifteenth Street Funding, LLC, Seventeenth Street Funding, LLC, and Nineteenth Street Funding, LLC (each a wholly owned subsidiary of SFC and collectively, the “Depositors”) entered into an agreement to sell,
subject to certain closing conditions, certain notes and trust certificates (collectively, the “Securities”) backed by mortgage loans of the Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust (“SMLT”) 2011-1, SMLT 2012-1, SMLT 2012-2, SMLT 2012-3, SMLT 2013-1, SMLT 2013-2, and SMLT 2013-3 (each, a “Trust”, and the issuance of the Securities by each Trust, a “Springleaf Transaction”) to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its affiliates (“Credit Suisse”). The agreement also included the sale of the rights to receive any funds remaining in the reserve account established for each Springleaf Transaction, and certain related rights, representing substantially all of the Company’s remaining interests in the Trusts, to Credit Suisse.
On August 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. The Depositors completed this transaction on August 29, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $4.0 billion (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). The purchase price for the Securitization Asset Sale was $1.6 billion. As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the securitization trusts holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
The “MSR Sale”
Additionally, in a separate transaction on August 6, 2014, SFC and its wholly owned subsidiary, MorEquity, Inc. (“MorEquity”) (collectively, the “Sellers”), entered into a Mortgage Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated and effective as of August 1, 2014, with Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to Nationstar all of their rights and responsibilities as servicer, primary servicer, and/or master servicer of the mortgage loans primarily underlying the Sellers’ securitizations completed in 2011, 2012 and 2013 (each a “Pool” and collectively, the “Pools”) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of approximately $5 billion. Additionally, Nationstar agreed to assume on and after the effective date, all of the Sellers’ rights and responsibilities as servicer, primary servicer and/or master servicer, as applicable, for each Pool arising and to be performed on and after the sale date, which include, among other things, the right to receive the related servicing fee on a monthly basis.
The purchase price for the MSR Sale was $38.8 million. Approximately 50% of the proceeds of the MSR Sale were received on August 29, 2014, the closing date, and 40% of the proceeds of the MSR Sale were received on October 23, 2014. The remaining 10% is subject to a holdback for resolution of missing documentation and other customary conditions, and is expected to be received no later than 120 days after the date of transfer of servicing upon resolution of those conditions. See Note 20 for further information on the subsequent payment received from Nationstar on October 23, 2014. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar.
The servicing for each Pool was transferred on September 30, 2014. From the closing of the MSR Sale on August 29, 2014, until the servicing transfer on September 30, 2014, the Company continued to service certain loans on behalf of Nationstar under an interim servicing agreement.
The “September Whole Loan Sales”
On August 6, 2014, SFC and Credit Suisse agreed to the terms of sale of certain performing and non-performing mortgage loans by certain indirect subsidiaries of SHI (referred to herein as the “Probable Whole Loan Sales”). On August 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the Probable Whole Loan Sales were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. We completed the sale of a portion of the Probable Whole Loan Sales on September 30, 2014 (the “September Whole Loan Sales”) at which time, the real estate loans included in the September Whole Loan Sales had a carrying value of $768.6 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses).
The aggregate purchase price of $795.1 million for the September Whole Loan Sales included a holdback provision of $120 million of which $40 million was subject to finalization of the terms and conditions of administering the holdback and the remainder was subject to our ability to cure certain documentation deficiencies within the 60 day period (subject to extension under certain circumstances) subsequent to the closing of the sale. See Note 20 for further information on the subsequent payments received from Credit Suisse on October 16 and November 7, 2014.
Prior Dispositions
The “Prior Dispositions” included the following transactions:
The “Sixth Street Disposition”. On May 23, 2014, Sixth Street Funding LLC (“Sixth Street”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SFC, agreed to sell and transfer its beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to a securitization transaction completed in 2010 to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPFS”) for a purchase price of $263.7 million. On June 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. Sixth Street completed this transaction on June 30, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $444.4 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the securitization trust holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
The “Third Street Disposition”. On March 6, 2014, Third Street Funding LLC (“Third Street”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SFC, agreed to sell and transfer its beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to a securitization transaction completed in 2009 to MLPFS for a purchase price of $737.2 million. On March 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. Third Street completed this transaction on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $724.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the securitization trust holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
The “MorEquity Disposition”. On March 7, 2014, MorEquity entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain closing conditions, certain performing and non-performing real estate loans for a purchase price of $79.0 million. On March 1, 2014, these loans were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. MorEquity completed this sale on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $89.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses).
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED
Income Taxes
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”), ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED
Troubled Debt Restructurings
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs — that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Revenue from Contracts
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Many of our revenue sources are not within the scope of this new standard and we are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Share-based Payments
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which clarifies that performance targets within share-based payment awards that can be met after the requisite service period should be considered performance conditions that affect vesting. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We have evaluated this ASU and concluded that it is not applicable to the Company at this time.
Going Concern
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period, and disclose in its financial statements whether there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The new standard applies to all companies and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The new standard can also be early adopted. Upon adoption, we will perform the going concern assessment in accordance with the requirements of the new ASU.
ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTIONS
We made certain policy elections with regard to the issuance of long-term debt related to a consumer loan securitization completed on March 26, 2014 (the “2014-A securitization”) and have updated our long-term debt policy previously disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect these elections going forward. The updated long-term debt policy is presented below:
Long-term Debt
We generally report our long-term debt issuances at the face value of the debt instrument, which we adjust for any unaccreted discount or unamortized premium associated with the debt. We make policy elections on a security by security basis with regard to the methodology used to accrete discounts and premiums. Other than securitized products, we generally accrete discounts and premiums over the contractual life of the security using contractual payment terms. With respect to securitized products, we have historically elected to use estimated prepayment patterns adjusted for changes in estimate over the estimated life of the debt. However, in certain circumstances, including our policy election for the 2014-A securitization, we elect to amortize deferred items over the contractual life of the security. Under either treatment, such accretion is recorded to interest expense. Additionally, we generally accrete other deferred amounts (e.g. issuance costs) following the same method elected on the associated unaccreted discount or premium.
2. Finance Receivables
Our finance receivable types include personal loans, the SpringCastle Portfolio, real estate loans, and retail sales finance as defined below:
| |
• | Personal loans — are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, generally have maximum original terms of four years, and are usually fixed-rate, fixed-term loans. At September 30, 2014, $1.7 billion of personal loans, or 48%, were secured by collateral consisting of titled personal property (such as automobiles), $1.3 billion, or 37%, were secured by consumer household goods or other items of personal property, and the remainder was unsecured. |
| |
• | SpringCastle Portfolio — are loans jointly acquired from HSBC Finance Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “HSBC”) on April 1, 2013 through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. These loans include unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). The SpringCastle Portfolio includes both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans. |
| |
• | Real estate loans — are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, generally have maximum original terms of 360 months, and are considered non-conforming. At September 30, 2014, $233.8 million of real estate loans, or 36%, were secured by first mortgages and $421.5 million, or 64%, were secured by second mortgages. Real estate loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are primarily fixed-rate products. |
| |
• | Retail sales finance — includes retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. Retail sales contracts are closed-end accounts that represent a single purchase transaction. Revolving retail accounts are open-end accounts that can be used for financing repeated purchases from the same merchant. Retail sales contracts are secured by the personal property designated in the contract and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months. Revolving retail accounts are secured by the goods purchased and generally require minimum monthly payments based on the amount financed calculated after the most recent purchase or outstanding balances. In January 2013, we ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. |

* | Gross receivables are defined as follows: |
| |
• | finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable — gross finance receivables equal the UPB for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; additionally, the remaining unearned discount, net of premium established at the time of purchase is included in both interest bearing and precompute accounts to reflect the finance receivable balance at its fair value; |
| |
• | finance receivables originated subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition — gross finance receivables equal the UPB for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; and |
| |
• | purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts. |
Included in the table above are personal loans with a carrying value of $1.8 billion at September 30, 2014 and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2013 and SpringCastle Portfolio loans with a carrying value of $2.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2013 associated with securitizations that remain on our balance sheet. Also included in the table above are real estate loans with a carrying value of $5.7 billion at December 31, 2013 associated with mortgage securitizations that have been sold or transferred to finance receivables held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. See Note 1 for further information on these sales. The carrying value of consolidated long-term debt associated with securitizations totaled $3.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2013. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions. Also included in the table above are finance receivables with a carrying value of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013, which were pledged as collateral for our secured term loan that we fully repaid in March 2014. See Note 7 for further discussion of the repayment of our secured term loan.

Unused lines of credit on our personal loans can be suspended if one of the following occurs: the value of the collateral declines significantly; we believe the borrower will be unable to fulfill the repayment obligations; or any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement. Unused lines of credit on our real estate loans and the SpringCastle Portfolio secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages can be suspended if one of the following occurs: (1) the value of the real estate declines significantly below the property’s initial appraised value; (2) we believe the borrower will be unable to fulfill the repayment obligations because of a material change in the borrower’s financial circumstances; or (3) any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement occurs. Unused lines of credit on home equity lines of credit, including the SpringCastle Portfolio secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages, can be terminated for delinquency. Unused lines of credit on the unsecured loans of the SpringCastle Portfolio can be terminated at our discretion.
CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
We consider the delinquency status and nonperforming status of the finance receivable as our credit quality indicators.
We accrue finance charges on revolving retail finance receivables up to the date of charge-off at 180 days past due. We had $0.1 million of revolving retail finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges at September 30, 2014, compared to $0.4 million at December 31, 2013. Our personal loans, SpringCastle Portfolio, and real estate loans do not have finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges.
Delinquent Finance Receivables
We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivable as our primary credit quality indicator. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. We consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time.
The following is a summary of net finance receivables by type and by days delinquent:

Nonperforming Finance Receivables
We also monitor finance receivable performance trends to evaluate the potential risk of future credit losses. At 90 days or more past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming. Once the finance receivables are considered as nonperforming, we consider them to be at increased risk for credit loss.

PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED FINANCE RECEIVABLES
As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting and adjusted the carrying value of our finance receivables (the “FA Loans”) to their fair value on November 30, 2010.
In connection with the acquisition of the SpringCastle Portfolio (the “SCP Loans”), we recorded the acquired loans at their fair value of $748.9 million on April 1, 2013, the day of purchase, and determined at this date that these loans with contractually required principal and interest of $1.9 billion and expected undiscounted cash flows of $1.2 billion were credit impaired.
We include the carrying amount (which initially was the fair value) of our purchased credit impaired finance receivables in net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses. Prepayments reduce the outstanding balance, contractual cash flows, and cash flows expected to be collected.
We report finance receivables held for sale of $493.2 million at September 30, 2014, which consist of our non-core real estate loans. See Note 4 for further information on our finance receivables held for sale. At September 30, 2014, finance receivables held for sale include purchased credit impaired real estate loans, as well as troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) real estate loans. Therefore, we are presenting the financial information for the purchased credit impaired finance receivables and the TDR finance receivables by finance receivables held for investment and finance receivables held for sale in the tables below.
Information regarding these purchased credit impaired finance receivables held for investment and held for sale were as follows:

(b) | During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we reduced the carrying value of certain real estate loans to $5.4 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, as a result of the transfers of these loans from finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. |
| |
(c) | Recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $2.2 million of real estate loan recoveries resulting from a sale of previously charged-off real estate loans in March 2014, net of a $0.2 million reserve for subsequent buybacks. |
| |
(d) | Effective March 31, 2013, we charge off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans that are 180 days past due. Previously, we charged-off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans on which payments received in the prior six months totaled less than 5% of the original loan amount. As a result of this change, we recorded $13.3 million of additional charge-offs in March 2013. |
| |
(e) | Recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $39.6 million ($23.8 million of personal loan recoveries, $9.9 million of real estate loan recoveries, and $5.9 million of retail sales finance recoveries) resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013, net of a $1.6 million adjustment for the subsequent buyback of certain finance receivables. |
Included in the allowance for finance receivable losses are allowances associated with securitizations that totaled $67.8 million at September 30, 2014 and $153.7 million at December 31, 2013. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions.

4. Finance Receivables Held for Sale
We report finance receivables held for sale of $493.2 million at September 30, 2014, which are carried at lower of cost or fair value. We used the aggregate basis to determine the lower of cost or fair value of the finance receivables held for sale since the underlying real estate loans were presented to the buyers on a portfolio basis. We also separately present the interest income on our finance receivables held for sale as interest income on finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment on our interim consolidated statements of operations, which totaled $47.7 million and $54.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
On August 1, 2014, we transferred real estate loans with a carrying value of $5.4 billion (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses) from finance receivables held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. On August 29, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $4.0 billion and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $604.9 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition. The net gain on this sale included proceeds of $38.8 million from the related MSR Sale. On September 30, 2014,
we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $856.4 million and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $36.5 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.
On June 1, 2014, we transferred real estate loans with a carrying value of $451.2 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses) from finance receivables held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. On June 30, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $444.4 million and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $34.8 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.
On March 1, 2014, we transferred real estate loans with a carrying value of $825.2 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses) from finance receivables held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. On March 31, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $814.8 million and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $55.2 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.
See Note 1 for further information on these sales. We did not have any transfer activity between finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale during the first nine months of 2013.
LOAN REPURCHASES
We repurchased four loans for $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and nine loans for $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We repurchased two loans for $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 19 loans for $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In each period, we repurchased the loans that were previously sold to HSBC because these loans were reaching the defined delinquency limits or had breached the contractual representations and warranties under the loan sale agreements. At September 30, 2014, there were no unresolved recourse requests.
During the third quarter of 2014, we established a reserve for sales recourse obligations of $9.9 million related to the sales of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.1 billion during the first nine months of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we had no repurchase activity or recourse losses associated with these sales. However, we will continue to monitor any repurchase activity in the future and will adjust the reserve accordingly.
The activity in our reserve for sales recourse obligations associated with the real estate loan sales during the first nine months of 2014 and the loans that were previously sold to HSBC were as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment credit loss write-downs to investment revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment credit loss write-downs to investment revenues on RMBS totaling $26 thousand.

As discussed in Note 1, on March 6, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain closing conditions, all of our interest in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to a securitization transaction completed in 2009 to MLPFS for a price of $737.2 million. Concurrently, NRZ and MLPFS entered into an agreement pursuant to which NRZ agreed to purchase approximately 75% of these retained certificates. NRZ is managed by an affiliate of Fortress. See Note 1 for further information on this sale.
MSR SALE
As discussed in Note 1, on August 6, 2014, SFC and MorEquity entered into an agreement, dated and effective August 1, 2014, to sell the servicing rights of the mortgage loans primarily underlying the mortgage securitizations completed during 2011 through 2013 to Nationstar for a purchase price of $38.8 million. Approximately 50% of the proceeds of the MSR Sale were received on August 29, 2014, the closing date, and 40% were received on October 23, 2014.

GUARANTY AGREEMENTS
On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into Guaranty Agreements whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payments of principal, premium (if any), and interest on approximately $5.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes on a senior basis and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture (collectively, the “notes”) on a junior subordinated basis issued by SFC. The notes consist of the following: 8.250% Senior Notes due 2023; 7.750% Senior Notes due 2021; 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020; a 60-year junior subordinated debenture; and all senior notes outstanding on December 30, 2013, issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 (the “1999 Indenture”), between SFC and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the successor trustee to Citibank N.A.). As of December 30, 2013, approximately $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes were outstanding under the 1999 Indenture. The 60-year junior subordinated debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into a Trust Guaranty Agreement whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the related payment obligations under the trust preferred securities. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $5.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes under the 1999 Indenture, and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture were outstanding.
REPURCHASE OR REPAYMENT OF DEBT
In connection with our liability management efforts, we or our affiliates from time to time have purchased, or may in the future purchase, portions of our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration as we or any such affiliates may determine. Our plans are dynamic and we may adjust our plans in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions.
On March 31, 2014, Springleaf Financial Funding Company (“SFFC”) prepaid, without penalty or premium, the entire $750.0 million outstanding principal balance of the secured term loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Effective upon the prepayment, all obligations of SFFC, SFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of SFC under the secured term loan (other than contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) were terminated and all guarantees and security interests were released.
8. Variable Interest Entities
As part of our overall funding strategy and as part of our efforts to support our liquidity from sources other than our traditional capital market sources, we have transferred certain finance receivables to VIEs for securitization transactions. Since these transactions involve securitization trusts required to be consolidated, the securitized assets and related liabilities are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings. As a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to its previous mortgage securitization transactions, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt.
CONSOLIDATED VIES
We evaluated the securitization trusts and determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary; therefore, we consolidate such entities. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs because we have the ability to direct the activities of each VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE. Such ability stems from SHI’s and/or its affiliates’ contractual right to service the securitized finance receivables. Our retained subordinated notes and residual interest trust certificates expose us to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.
The remaining asset-backed securities issued by the securitization trusts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying securitized finance receivables. Cash inflows from these finance receivables are distributed to investors and service
providers in accordance with each transaction’s contractual priority of payments (“waterfall”) and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay each trust’s senior notes or certificates held principally by third-party investors. After these senior obligations are extinguished, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated notes until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest that we own in each trust. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including senior and subordinated securities issued by the VIEs and residual interests. We retain credit risk in the securitizations because our retained interests include the most subordinated interest in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets. We expect that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets will likely be limited to our subordinated and residual retained interests. We have no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default.
The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with our securitization trusts were as follows:

2014 Consumer Loan Securitizations
Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Securitization. On June 26, 2014, we established a private securitization facility in which Whitford Brook Funding Trust 2014-VFN1 (the “Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. The notes will be funded over a three-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down to the required minimum balance of $100 million and then redrawn. Following the three-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2018, unless an option to prepay is elected between July 2017 and July 2018. At September 30, 2014, the required minimum balance of $100 million was drawn under the notes.
2014-A Securitization. On March 26, 2014, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $559.3 million of notes backed by personal loans held by Springleaf Funding Trust 2014-A (the “2014-A Trust”), at a 2.62% weighted average yield. We sold the asset-backed notes for $559.2 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $6.4 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $32.9 million of the 2014-A Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes.
Sales of Previously Retained Notes
As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s remaining beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to its previous mortgage securitization transactions were sold in four separate transactions on March 31, June 30, August 29, and September 30, 2014. As a result of these sales, we deconsolidated the securitization trusts holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold the following previously retained mortgage-backed and asset-backed notes:

Renewal of Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Securitization
On September 26, 2013, we established a private securitization facility in which Midbrook Funding Trust 2013-VFN1 (the “Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, could issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No amounts were funded at closing, but could be funded from time to time over a one-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes could also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the one-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, would amortize and would be due and payable in full in October 2017.
On June 13, 2014, we amended the note purchase agreement with Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust to extend the one-year funding period to a two-year funding period. Following the two-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2019. The maximum principal balance of variable funding notes that can be issued remained at $300 million. No amounts have been funded.
Repayment of 2013-BAC Trust Notes
On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-BAC, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, issued $500 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. On March 27, 2014, we repaid the entire $231.3 million outstanding principal balance of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
VIE Interest Expense
Other than our retained subordinate and residual interests in the remaining consolidated securitization trusts, we are under no obligation, either contractually or implicitly, to provide financial support to these entities. Consolidated interest expense related to our VIEs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $50.8 million and $180.3 million, respectively, compared to $64.0 million and $153.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
DECONSOLIDATED VIES
As a result of the sales of the mortgage-backed retained certificates during the first nine months of 2014, we deconsolidated the securitization trusts holding the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt. The total carrying value of these real estate loans as of the sale dates was $5.2 billion. We have certain representations and warranties associated with these sales that may expose us to future losses. During the third quarter of 2014, we established a reserve for sales recourse obligations of $6.7 million related to these sales. As of September 30, 2014, we had no repurchase activity associated with these sales. However, we will continue to monitor any repurchase activity in the future and will adjust the reserve accordingly.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our principal borrowing subsidiary is SFC. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, SFC did not have any derivative activity.
In January 2013, we reclassified $0.2 million of deferred net gain from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to interest expense related to SFC’s election to discontinue and terminate one of its cash flow hedges in 2012. On August 5, 2013, SFC terminated its remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement with AIG Financial Products Corp., a subsidiary of AIG, and recorded a loss of $1.9 million in other revenues — other. Immediately following this termination, we had no derivative financial instruments.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $1.0 million of net gains and $3.4 million of net losses, respectively, on SFC’s non-designated hedging instruments in other revenues — other.
Derivative adjustments included in other revenues — other consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 |
| | | | |
Mark to market gains (losses) | | $ | 6,260 |

| | 50 |
|
Other | | (292 | ) | | (292 | ) |
Total | | $ | 7,680 |
| | $ | 675 |
|
SFC was exposed to credit risk if counterparties to its swap agreement did not perform. SFC regularly monitored counterparty credit ratings throughout the term of the agreement. SFC’s exposure to market risk was limited to changes in the value of its swap agreement offset by changes in the value of the hedged debt. While SFC’s cross currency interest rate swap agreement mitigated economic exposure of related debt, it did not qualify as a cash flow or fair value hedge under U.S. GAAP.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares represent outstanding unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and awards.

12. Income Taxes
At September 30, 2014, we had a net deferred tax liability of $146.4 million, compared to $128.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the net deferred tax liability was primarily due to the sales of the mortgage securitizations during the first nine months of 2014. We have a valuation allowance on our gross state deferred tax assets, net of a deferred federal tax benefit of $24.9 million, at September 30, 2014 compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2013. We also had a valuation allowance against our United Kingdom and Puerto Rico operations of $22.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $21.4 million at December 31, 2013. The impact to our uncertain tax positions was immaterial.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 32.8% compared to (5.2)% for the same period in 2013. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture, which decreased the effective tax rate by 3.6%, partially offset by the effect of our state income taxes, which increased the effective tax rate by 1.4%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture.
13. Contingencies
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation arising in connection with its activities. Some of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. While we will continue to identify certain legal actions where we believe a material loss to be reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that we have not yet been notified of or are not yet determined to be probable or reasonably possible and reasonably estimable.
We contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, we accrue the estimated loss by a charge to income. In many actions, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where loss is reasonably possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss.
For certain legal actions, we cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for actions that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek substantial or indeterminate damages. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the actions in question, before a loss or additional loss or range of loss or additional loss can be reasonably estimated for any given action.
For certain other legal actions, we can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but do not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.
PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE
Our United Kingdom subsidiary provides payments of compensation to its customers who have made claims concerning Payment Protection Insurance (“PPI”) policies sold in the normal course of business by insurance intermediaries. On April 20, 2011, the High Court in the United Kingdom handed down judgment supporting the Financial Services Authority (now known as the Financial Conduct Authority) (“FCA”) guidelines on the treatment of PPI complaints. In addition, the FCA issued a guidance consultation paper in March 2012 on the PPI customer contact letters. As a result, we have concluded that there are certain circumstances where customer contact and/or redress is appropriate; therefore, this activity is ongoing. The total reserves related to the estimated PPI claims were $22.1 million at September 30, 2014 and $33.5 million at December 31, 2013.
14. Benefit Plans
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
Effective December 31, 2012, the Springleaf Financial Services Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) and the CommoLoCo Retirement Plan (a defined benefit pension plan for our employees in Puerto Rico) were frozen. Our current and former employees will not lose any vested benefits in the Retirement Plan or the CommoLoCo Retirement Plan that accrued prior to January 1, 2013.
The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost with respect to our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans:

15. Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for all stock-based awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, compared to $131.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
16. Segment Information
Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At September 30, 2014, our four segments include: Consumer, Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Real Estate. The Acquisitions and Servicing segment was added effective April 1, 2013, as a result of our co-investment in the SpringCastle Portfolio.
Management considers Consumer, Insurance, and Acquisitions and Servicing as our “Core Consumer Operations” and Real Estate as our “Non-Core Portfolio.”
Our segments are managed as follows:
Core Consumer Operations
| |
• | Consumer — We originate and service personal loans (secured and unsecured) through two business divisions: branch operations and centralized internet lending. Branch operations primarily conduct business in 26 states, which are our core operating states. Our Centralized Internet Group (“CIG”) processes and underwrites loan applications that we receive through an internet portal. If the applicant is located near an existing branch (“in footprint”), CIG makes the credit decision regarding the application and then refers the customer to a nearby branch for closing, funding and servicing. If the applicant is not located near a branch (“out of footprint”), CIG originates the loan. |
| |
• | Insurance — We offer credit insurance (life insurance, accident and health insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection. |
| |
• | Acquisitions and Servicing — On April 1, 2013, we acquired the SpringCastle Portfolio through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. The SpringCastle Portfolio consists of unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). These loans vary in form and substance from our typical branch serviced loans and are in a liquidating status with no anticipation of significant renewal activity. Future strategic portfolio or business acquisitions will also be a part of this segment. |
Non-Core Portfolio
| |
• | Real Estate — We service and hold real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate. Real estate loans previously originated through our branch offices or previously acquired or originated through centralized distribution channels are either serviced by: (i) MorEquity, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, all of which are subserviced by Nationstar or (ii) our centralized servicing operation. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar. |
The remaining components (which we refer to as “Other”) consist of our other non-core, non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our Core Consumer Operations and our Non-Core Portfolio. These operations include our legacy operations in 14 states where we have also ceased branch-based personal lending, our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicated auto finance operation), our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Effective June 1, 2014, we also report (on a prospective basis) certain real estate loans with equity capacity in Other. These short equity loans, which have liquidated down to an immaterial level, were previously included in our Core Consumer Operations. At June 1, 2014, the transfer date, the carrying value of these loans totaled $16.3 million.
Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition, which we refer to as “historical accounting basis,” to provide a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand the operating results of these segments. The historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP) also provides better comparability of the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry. The historical accounting basis is not applicable to the Acquisitions and Servicing segment since this segment resulted from the purchase of the SpringCastle Portfolio on April 1, 2013 and therefore, was not affected by the Fortress Acquisition.
The “Push-down Accounting Adjustments” column in the following tables primarily consists of:
| |
• | the accretion or amortization of the valuation adjustments on the applicable revalued assets and liabilities; |
| |
• | the difference in finance charges on our purchased credit impaired finance receivables compared to the finance charges on these finance receivables on a historical accounting basis; |
| |
• | the elimination of accretion or amortization of historical based discounts, premiums, and other deferred costs on our finance receivables and long-term debt; |
| |
• | the difference in provision for finance receivable losses required based upon the differences in historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis of the finance receivables; |
| |
• | the acceleration of the accretion of the net discount or amortization of the net premium applied to long-term debt that we repurchase or repay; |
| |
• | the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition on finance receivables held for sale that we sold; and |
| |
• | the difference in the fair value of long-term debt based upon the differences between historical accounting basis where certain long-term debt components are marked-to-market on a recurring basis, and push-down accounting basis where long-term debt is no longer marked-to-market on a recurring basis. |
The following tables present information about the Company’s segments as well as reconciliations to the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

17. Prior Period Revisions
As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects
of these corrections, we have determined that our previous quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
The errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the following: (1) the accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt that was revalued based on its fair value at the time of the Fortress Acquisition; (2) the accretion of original issue net discount on our long-term debt issued subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition; (3) the carrying values of our tranches of long-term debt that were issued at a discount and which have embedded derivatives, and the related change in fair value; (4) the classification of certain investment securities found to contain embedded derivatives and the accounting treatment of the related change in fair value; and (5) the continued accretion of discounts on loans in non-accrual status.
In addition, we made other corrections during the fourth quarter of 2013, which were isolated to intra-periods in 2013, and revised the appropriate periods of 2013 in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report. These revisions related to the following: (1) servicing fee expenses for the SpringCastle Portfolio pursuant to an interim servicing agreement that was in place between April 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013; (2) accretion of the unearned discount for non-credit impaired loans in the SpringCastle Portfolio and the resulting adjustment to the allowance for finance receivable losses for the SpringCastle Portfolio; (3) finance charge calculation on our internal servicing system for the SpringCastle Portfolio; and (4) charge-offs on certain qualified real estate loans that had not been granted principal forgiveness.
We also recorded the previously disclosed out-of-period adjustments in the appropriate periods. These adjustments primarily related to the following:
| |
• | capitalized interest on purchased credit impaired finance receivables serviced by a third party; |
| |
• | the difference between the hypothetical derivative interest expense and the contractual derivative interest expense; |
| |
• | the identification of certain bankrupt real estate loan accounts for consideration as TDR finance receivables; |
| |
• | to correct certain inputs in our model supporting the TDR allowance for finance receivable losses; |
| |
• | distributions of limited partnerships; |
| |
• | the calculations of the carrying value for our real estate owned and the net loss on sales of our real estate owned that are externally serviced; |
| |
• | the calculation of real estate owned expenses; |
| |
• | payable to former parent related to any refund of (or credit for) taxes, including any interest received; |
| |
• | benefit reserves related to a closed block of annuities; |
| |
• | change in estimate for the taxable income related to mortgage securitizations; and |
| |
• | the correction of current and deferred tax expense. |
In addition to the revisions previously discussed, during the fourth quarter of 2013 we identified presentation errors in the classification of certain line items within our consolidated statement of cash flows and revised the appropriate line items in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report. These errors related to the following:
| |
• | the income tax effect on the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and cash flow hedges were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” instead of “Change in taxes receivable and payable” within the same operating activities section; |
| |
• | certain debt issue costs were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” within the operating activities section instead of “Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net of commissions” within the financing activities section; |
| |
• | advances on SpringCastle’s revolving loans were incorrectly included as a reduction to “Principal collections on finance receivables” instead of “Finance receivables originated or purchased, net of deferred origination costs” within the same investing activities section; |
| |
• | the deferred costs on the repurchased debt incurred after the Fortress Acquisition were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” instead of “Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt” within the same operating activities section; |
| |
• | accrued interest and finance charges on real estate loan modifications were incorrectly included in “Principal collections on finance receivables” within the investing activities section instead of “Change in accrued interest and finance charges” within the operating activities section; and |
| |
• | “Deferral of finance receivable origination costs” was incorrectly included within the operating activities section instead of the investing activities section. |
Revised Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited)
The following table reconciles the amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to the corresponding revised amounts. The “Out-of-Period” column reflects the previously disclosed out-of period adjustments that are now being corrected in the appropriate periods. The “Adjustments” column reflects the corrections of the errors discovered during the fourth quarter of 2013.

18. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received if an asset were to be sold or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is listed on an exchange or traded over-the-counter or is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and general market conditions.
The following table summarizes the fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments and indicates the fair value hierarchy based on the level of inputs we utilized to determine such fair values:

We used observable and/or unobservable inputs to determine the fair value of positions that we have classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the Level 3 tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our investment securities were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third-party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs for other long-term investments. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs for these investment securities are not applicable in the following table.
Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which information about the unobservable inputs is reasonably available to us at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:
|
| | | | |
| | | Range (Weighted Average) |
| Valuation Technique(s) | Unobservable Input | September 30, 2014 | December 31, 2013 |
Corporate debt | Discounted cash flows | Yield | 0.89% (a) | 2.68% – 8.48% (4.67%) |
RMBS | Discounted cash flows | Spread | 6.94% (b) |
|

The fair values of the assets using significant unobservable inputs are sensitive and can be impacted by significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs. Level 3 broker-priced instruments, including RMBS (except for the one bond previously noted), CMBS, and CDO/ABS, are excluded from the table above because the unobservable inputs are not reasonably available to us.
Our RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS securities have unobservable inputs that are reliant on and sensitive to the quality of their underlying collateral. The inputs, although not identical, have similar characteristics and interrelationships. Generally a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment speeds. An improvement in the workout criteria related to the restructured debt and/or debt covenants of the underlying collateral may lead to an improvement in the cash flows and have an inverse impact on other inputs, specifically a reduction in the amount of discount applied for marketability and liquidity, making the structured bonds more attractive to market participants.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — NON-RECURRING BASIS
We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on which we recorded impairment charges were as follows:

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, we wrote down certain real estate owned reported in our Real Estate segment to their fair value less cost to sell for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues — other. The fair values of real estate owned disclosed in the table above are unadjusted for transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The amounts of real estate owned recorded in other assets are net of transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of commercial mortgage loans, we recorded allowance adjustments on certain impaired commercial mortgage loans reported in our Insurance segment to record their fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and recorded the net impairments in investment revenues.
The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our real estate owned and commercial mortgage loans were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers or valuations provided by external parties, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third-party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs are not applicable in the following table.
Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Commercial mortgage loans | Market approach | Local market conditions Nature of investment Comparable property sales Operating performance | N/A* | N/A* |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS
We use the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Mutual Funds
The fair value of mutual funds is based on quoted market prices of the underlying shares held in the mutual funds.
Investment Securities
We utilize third-party valuation service providers to measure the fair value of our investment securities, which are classified as available-for-sale or as trading and consist primarily of bonds. Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure investment securities at fair value. We generally obtain market price data from exchange or dealer markets.
We estimate the fair value of fixed maturity investment securities not traded in active markets by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations and a matrix pricing methodology, or discounted cash flow analyses. This methodology considers such factors as the issuer’s industry, the security’s rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For fixed maturity investment securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, we adjust the valuations to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.
We classify investment securities that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value as trading securities at fair value.
Finance Receivables
The fair value of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and purchased credit impaired, are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The application of these methodologies requires us to make certain judgments and estimates based on our perception of market participant views related to the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of our finance receivables, and other similar factors. The most significant judgments and estimates made relate to prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, and discount rates. The degree of judgment and estimation applied is significant in light of the current capital markets and, more broadly, economic environments. Therefore, the fair value of our finance receivables could not be determined with precision and may not be
realized in an actual sale. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.
Finance Receivables Held for Sale
We determined the fair value of finance receivables held for sale that were originated as held for investment based on negotiations with prospective purchasers (if any) or by using projected cash flows discounted at the weighted-average interest rates offered by us in the market for similar finance receivables. We based cash flows on contractual payment terms adjusted for estimates of prepayments and credit related losses.
Restricted Cash
The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates fair value.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
We utilize third-party valuation service providers to estimate the fair value of commercial mortgage loans using projected cash flows discounted at an appropriate rate based upon market conditions.
Real Estate Owned
We initially based our estimate of the fair value on independent third-party valuations at the time we took title to real estate owned. Subsequent changes in fair value are based upon independent third-party valuations obtained periodically to estimate a price that would be received in a then current transaction to sell the asset.
Escrow Advance Receivable
The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Long-term Debt
We either receive fair value measurements of our long-term debt from market participants and pricing services or we estimate the fair values of long-term debt using projected cash flows discounted at each balance sheet date’s market-observable implicit-credit spread rates for our long-term debt and adjusted for foreign currency translations.
We record long-term debt issuances at fair value that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value the derivative. At September 30, 2014, there was no significant difference between the fair value and the principal amount of the long-term debt for which we have elected the fair value option.
19. Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of SHI and from the acquisitions of finance receivables and the London, Kentucky loan servicing facility from HSBC (the “HSBC acquisitions”) during 2013 as if the HSBC acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the HSBC acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2013. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not indicative of, nor does it purport to project, the future financial position or operating results of the HSBC acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma information assumes the full funding of the HSBC acquisitions including the issuance of the associated Class B Notes from our SpringCastle securitization as if they were issued as of January 1, 2013, the adjustment of historical finance charges for estimated impacts of accounting for credit impaired loans and the incorporation of accretion of pro forma purchase discount, and does not give effect to potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result from the HSBC acquisitions.

20. Subsequent Events
SPRINGCASTLE 2014-A NOTES
On October 3, 2014, certain indirect subsidiaries of SFC associated with a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest (the “Co-Issuers”) issued $2.62 billion of the SpringCastle Funding Asset-backed Notes 2014-A (the “SpringCastle 2014-A Notes”) at a 4.68% weighted average yield in a private placement transaction. The SpringCastle 2014-A Notes are collateralized by the SpringCastle Portfolio in which SFC owns a 47% equity interest as a result of SFI’s capital contribution of 100% of SAC’s common stock to SFC on July 31, 2014.
The Co-Issuers sold the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes for approximately $2.55 billion after the price discount but before expenses. The Co-Issuers used the proceeds from the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes to repay in full on October 3, 2014 the SpringCastle Funding Asset-backed Notes 2013-A (the “SpringCastle 2013-A Notes”), which were issued by the Co-Issuers on April 1, 2013. At September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the SpringCastle 2013-A Notes was $1.46 billion.
On October 3, 2014, SAC purchased $362.5 million initial principal amount of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes. The Co-Issuers retained $61.6 million of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes. Certain subsidiaries of NRZ own a 30% equity interest in the Co-Issuers. NRZ is managed by an affiliate of Fortress.
NON-CORE REAL ESTATE LOAN TRANSACTIONS
Proceeds from September Whole Loan Sales
The aggregate purchase price of $795.1 million for the September Whole Loan Sales included a holdback provision of $120 million of which $40 million was subject to finalization of the terms and conditions of administering the holdback and the remainder was subject to our ability to cure certain documentation deficiencies within the 60 day period (subject to extension under certain circumstances) subsequent to the closing of the sale. On October 16 and November 7, 2014, we received $20 million and $21.8 million, respectively, of the holdback provision from Credit Suisse.
Proceeds from MSR Sale
On October 23, 2014, we received $15.7 million from Nationstar, which reflected 40% of the proceeds due from the MSR Sale (50% of the proceeds were received on August 29, 2014). The remaining 10% is subject to a holdback for resolution of missing documentation and other customary conditions, and is expected to be received no later than 120 days after the date of transfer of servicing upon resolution of these conditions. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar.
The “November Whole Loan Sales”
As discussed in Note 1, on August 6, 2014, SFC and Credit Suisse agreed to the terms of the Probable Whole Loan Sales. We completed the second sale of certain performing and non-performing mortgage loans on November 7, 2014. The real estate loans included in the November Whole Loan Sales had a carrying value of $251.0 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses) as of September 30, 2014.
The aggregate purchase price of $270.1 million for the November Whole Loan Sales included a holdback provision of $34.3 million, which is subject to our ability to cure certain documentation deficiencies within a 60 day period (subject to extension under certain circumstances) subsequent to the closing of the sale. On November 7, 2014, we received $235.8 million of the proceeds from Credit Suisse.

Overview
Springleaf is a leading consumer finance company providing responsible loan products primarily to non-prime customers. We originate consumer loans through our network of nearly 830 branch offices in 26 states and on a centralized basis as part of our iLoan division. Through two insurance subsidiaries, we write credit and non-credit insurance policies covering our customers and the property pledged as collateral for our loans. We also pursue strategic acquisitions of loan portfolios. As part of this strategy, in April 2013 we acquired from HSBC a $3.9 billion UPB consumer loan portfolio through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest.
At September 30, 2014, we had four business segments: Consumer, Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Real Estate. See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our segments.
OUR PRODUCTS
Our core product offerings include:
| |
• | Personal Loans — We offer personal loans through our branch network and over the internet through our iLoan division to customers who generally need timely access to cash. Our personal loans are typically non-revolving with a fixed-rate and a fixed, original term of two to four years. At September 30, 2014, we had over 902,000 personal loans, representing $3.6 billion of net finance receivables, of which $1.7 billion, or 48%, were secured by collateral consisting of titled personal property (such as automobiles), $1.3 billion, or 37%, were secured by consumer household goods or other items of personal property, and the remainder were unsecured. |
| |
• | Insurance Products — We offer our customers credit insurance (life insurance, accident and health insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection, through both our branch operations and our iLoan division. Credit insurance and non-credit insurance products are provided by our subsidiaries, Merit and Yosemite Insurance Company (“Yosemite”). The ancillary products are home security and auto security membership plans and home appliance service contracts of unaffiliated companies. |
| |
• | SpringCastle Portfolio — We acquired the SpringCastle Portfolio from HSBC on April 1, 2013 through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. These loans included unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). The SpringCastle Portfolio includes both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans. SFI assumed the direct servicing obligations for these loans in September 2013. At September 30, 2014, the SpringCastle Portfolio included over 291,000 of acquired loans, representing $2.1 billion in net finance receivables. |
Our legacy products include:
| |
• | Real Estate Loans — We ceased real estate lending in January 2012. These loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit, generally have a fixed rate and maximum original terms of 360 months, and are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate. At September 30, 2014, $233.8 million of real estate loans, or 36%, were secured by first mortgages and $421.5 million, or 64%, were secured by second mortgages. We continue to service the liquidating real estate loans and support any advances on open-end accounts. |
| |
• | Retail Sales Finance — We ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts in January 2013. We continue to service the liquidating retail sales contracts and will provide revolving retail sales financing services on our revolving retail accounts. We refer to retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts collectively as “retail sales finance.” |
Recent Developments
NON-CORE REAL ESTATE LOAN TRANSACTIONS
During the first nine months of 2014, we entered into a series of transactions relating to the sales of our beneficial interests in our non-core real estate loans, the related servicing of these loans, and the sales of certain performing and non-performing real estate loans. During the first nine months of 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $6.1 billion and recorded net gains totaling $731.3 million. As a result of these transactions, we established a reserve for sales recourse obligations of $9.9 million during the third quarter of 2014. On November 7, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $251.0 million as of September 30, 2014. These transactions substantially complete the Company’s previously disclosed plan to liquidate its non-core real estate loans. See Note 1 and Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these sales.
In conjunction with these real estate loan transactions, we have closed our operational locations in Dallas, Texas, Rancho Cucamonga, California, and Wesley Chapel, Florida, and have eliminated certain staff positions in our Evansville, Indiana, location. In total, approximately 300 staff positions were eliminated. However, the total reduction in workforce was approximately 170 employees, as 130 employees have been transferred into other positions at Springleaf. We recorded restructuring costs of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 due to the workforce reductions and the closings of the servicing facilities.
Our insurance subsidiaries have written certain insurance policies on properties collateralizing the loans that have been deconsolidated or disposed of as a result of these sales. As part of the disposition, the insurance policies associated with the sold loans have been or will be cancelled.
CREDIT RATINGS
Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) upgraded SFC’s long-term corporate debt rating as follows: (i) from B3 to B2 with a stable outlook by Moody’s on October 8, 2014; (ii) from B- to B with a stable outlook by S&P on August 8, 2014; and (iii) from B- to B with a stable outlook by Fitch on August 7, 2014.
SECURITIZATIONS
Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Securitization
On June 26, 2014, we established a private securitization facility in which Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Trust, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. The notes will be funded over a three-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down to the required minimum balance of $100 million and then redrawn. Following the three-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2018, unless an option to prepay is elected between July 2017 and July 2018. At September 30, 2014, the required minimum balance of $100 million was drawn under the notes.
2014-A Securitization
On March 26, 2014, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $559.3 million of notes backed by personal loans held by the 2014-A Trust, at a 2.62% weighted average yield. We sold the asset-backed notes for $559.2 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $6.4 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $32.9 million of the 2014-A Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes.
Renewal of Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Securitization
On June 13, 2014, we amended the note purchase agreement with Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, to extend the one-year funding period to a two-year funding period. Following the two-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2019. The maximum principal balance of variable funding notes that can be issued remained at $300 million. No amounts have been funded.
Repayment of 2013-BAC Trust Notes
On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-BAC, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, issued $500 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. On March 27, 2014, we repaid the entire $231.3 million outstanding principal balance of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
SpringCastle 2014-A Notes
On October 3, 2014, the Co-Issuers issued $2.62 billion of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes at a weighted average yield of 4.68% in a private placement transaction. The SpringCastle 2014-A Notes are collateralized by the SpringCastle Portfolio in which SFC owns a 47% equity interest as a result of SFI’s capital contribution of 100% of SAC’s common stock to SFC on July 31, 2014.
The Co-Issuers sold the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes for approximately $2.55 billion after the price discount but before expenses. The Co-Issuers used the proceeds from the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes to repay in full on October 3, 2014 the SpringCastle 2013-A Notes, which were issued by the Co-Issuers on April 1, 2013. At September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the SpringCastle 2013-A Notes was $1.46 billion.
On October 3, 2014, SAC purchased $362.5 million initial principal amount of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes. The Co-Issuers retained $61.6 million of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes.
PREPAYMENT OF SECURED TERM LOAN
On March 31, 2014, SFFC prepaid, without penalty or premium, the entire $750.0 million outstanding principal balance of the secured term loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Effective upon the prepayment, all obligations of SFFC, SFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of SFC under the secured term loan (other than contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) were terminated and all guarantees and security interests were released.
OUTLOOK
Assuming the U.S. economy continues to experience slow to moderate growth, we expect to continue our long history of strong credit performance. We believe the strong credit quality of our personal loan portfolio is the result of our disciplined underwriting practices and ongoing collection efforts. We also continue to see growth in the volume of personal loan originations driven by the following factors:
| |
• | Declining competition from thrifts and banks (although banks continue to serve non-prime customers in other ways) as these institutions have retreated from the non-prime market in the face of regulatory scrutiny and in the aftermath of the housing crisis. As a result of the reduced lending of these competitors, access to credit has fallen substantially for the non-prime segment of customers, which, in turn, has increased our potential customer base. |
| |
• | Slow but sustained economic growth. |

• | Migration of customer activity from traditional channels such as direct mail to online channels (served by our iLoan division) where we believe we are well suited to capture volume due to our scale, technology, and deployment of advanced analytics. |
| |
• | Our renewed focus on our personal loan business as we have discontinued real estate and other product originations both in our branches and in centralized lending. |
In addition, with an experienced management team, a strong balance sheet, proven access to the capital markets, and strong demand for consumer credit, we believe we are well positioned for future personal loan growth.
We regularly consider strategic acquisitions and have been involved in transactions of various magnitudes involving a variety of forms of consideration and financing. Currently, we are evaluating a number of strategic acquisition opportunities, including one opportunity which, if consummated, would be the most significant acquisition transaction ever undertaken by the Company. The purchase price for possible acquisitions could be financed through the issuance of equity (which could significantly increase the number of shares of SHI’s common stock outstanding) or debt securities, bank borrowings, securitizations or a combination thereof. We cannot predict if any such acquisitions will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a financial or other benefit to the Company. See the discussion under the heading “Risk Factors - There are risks associated with the acquisition of large loan portfolios, such as the SpringCastle Portfolio, including the possibility of increased delinquencies and losses, difficulties with integrating the loans into our servicing platform and disruption to our ongoing business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC for additional information.
Prior Period Revisions
As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the prior period revisions. All prior period data presented in the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations reflects the revised balances.

Comparison of Consolidated Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Finance charges decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 due to the net of the following:
|
| | | |
(dollars in thousands) | |
| |
|
2014 compared to 2013 - Three Months Ended September 30 | |
|
| |
|
Decrease in average net receivables | $ | (173,878 | ) |
Increase in yield | 25,397 |
|
Total | $ | (148,481 | ) |
Average net receivables decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to our liquidating real estate loan portfolio, including the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.7 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. This decrease also reflected lower SpringCastle average net receivables resulting from liquidations, partially offset by higher personal loan average net receivables.
Yield increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily from our personal loans, which have higher yields. This increase also reflected a higher proportion of personal loans as a result of the transfers of real estate loans to finance receivables held for sale on August 1, 2014.
Interest expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 due to the net of the following:
|
| | | |
(dollars in thousands) | |
| |
|
2014 compared to 2013 - Three Months Ended September 30 | |
|
| |
|
Decrease in average debt | $ | (65,804 | ) |
Increase in weighted average interest rate | 16,789 |
|
Total | $ | (49,015 | ) |
Average debt decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $3.8 billion during the past twelve months and the elimination of $3.5 billion of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed certificates during the first nine months of 2014. These decreases were partially offset by debt issuances pursuant to three consumer securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.
The weighted average interest rate on our debt increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the elimination of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations discussed above, which generally have lower interest rates. This increase was partially offset by the debt repurchases and repayments discussed above, which resulted in lower accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt.
Provision for finance receivable losses decreased $59.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to a reduction in the allowance requirements on our real estate loans deemed to be purchased credit impaired finance receivables and TDR finance receivables subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.7 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. This decrease was partially offset by additional allowance requirements primarily due to growth in our personal loans during the 2014 period and higher personal loan delinquency ratio at September 30, 2014.
Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $33.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflected acceleration of amortization of deferred costs and repurchases of debt at net amounts greater than carrying value.
Net gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $641.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 reflected the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for the real estate loans, less allowance for
finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition. See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information on these sales.
Other revenues decreased $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to net charge-offs on our finance receivables held for sale and provision adjustments for liquidated held for sale accounts during the 2014 period. This decrease was partially offset by servicing fee revenues for the servicing of the real estate loans included in the MSR Sale. We continued to service these loans on behalf of Nationstar until the servicing transfer on September 30, 2014, under an interim servicing agreement.
Salaries and benefits decreased $119.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to $131.3 million of share-based compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives in the third quarter of 2013. This decrease was partially offset by: (i) employee retention and severance accruals of $3.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014 due to the recent workforce reduction of approximately 170 employees and (ii) higher salary and bonus accruals reflecting an increase in number of employees and increased originations of personal loans.
Other operating expenses increased $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher professional fees of $24.1 million primarily due to one-time costs and restructuring costs relating to the real estate sales transactions and higher advertising and information technology expenses during the 2014 period. This increase was partially offset by servicing fee expenses charged by HSBC to service the SpringCastle Portfolio pursuant to an interim servicing agreement that was in place between April 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013.
Provision for income taxes totaled $234.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to benefit from income taxes of $30.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 33.7% compared to 33.5% for the same period in 2013. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 differed from the federal statutory rates primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture, partially offset by the effect of our state income taxes.
Comparison of Consolidated Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Finance charges decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 due to the net of the following:
|

(dollars in thousands) | |
| |
|
2014 compared to 2013 - Nine Months Ended September 30 | |
|
| |
|
Decrease in average net receivables | $ | (164,493 | ) |
Increase in yield | 100,522 |
|
Total | $ | (63,971 | ) |
Average net receivables decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to our liquidating real estate loan portfolio, including the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.7 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. This decrease also reflected lower SpringCastle average net receivables resulting from liquidations, partially offset by higher personal loan average net receivables.
Yield increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily from our personal loans, which have higher yields. This increase also reflected a higher proportion of personal loans as a result of the transfers of real estate loans to finance receivables held for sale during the first nine months of 2014.
Finance charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 were favorably impacted by an additional three months of finance charges on the SpringCastle Portfolio totaling $143.2 million, which is included in the change in average net receivables and yield in the table above.
Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 due to the following:
|

| |
|
Decrease in average debt | $ | (112,141 | ) |
Decrease in weighted average interest rate | (11,864 | ) |
Total | $ | (124,005 | ) |
Average debt decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to debt repurchases and repayments of $3.8 billion during the past twelve months and the elimination of $3.5 billion of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed certificates during the first nine months of 2014. These decreases were partially offset by debt issuances pursuant to three consumer securitization transactions completed during the past twelve months.
The weighted average interest rate on our debt decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the debt repurchases and repayments discussed above, which resulted in lower accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt. This decrease was partially offset by the elimination of debt associated with our mortgage securitizations discussed above, which generally have lower interest rates.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 included an additional three months of interest expense on the long-term debt associated with the securitization of the SpringCastle Portfolio totaling $22.2 million, which is included in the change in average debt and weighted average interest rate in the table above.
Provision for finance receivable losses increased $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to $39.6 million of recoveries recorded in June 2013 resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013 (net of a $1.6 million adjustment for the subsequent buyback of certain finance receivables). This increase also reflected additional allowance requirements primarily due to growth in our personal loans during the 2014 period and higher personal loan delinquency ratio at September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the allowance requirements on our real estate loans deemed to be purchased credit impaired finance receivables and TDR finance receivables subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $6.7 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014.
Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $6.6 million and $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflected repurchases of debt at net amounts greater than carrying value.
Net loss on fair value adjustments on debt of $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and net gain on fair value adjustments on debt of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, reflected net unrealized (loss) gain, respectively, on fair value adjustments of the long-term debt associated with the securitization of the SpringCastle Portfolio that is accounted for at fair value through earnings.
Net gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $731.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflected the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for the real estate loans, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition. See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information on these sales.
Other revenues decreased $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to net charge-offs on our finance receivables held for sale and provision adjustments for liquidated held for sale accounts during the 2014 period. This decrease was partially offset by servicing fee revenues for the servicing of the real estate loans included in the MSR Sale. We continued to service these loans on behalf of Nationstar until the servicing transfer on September 30, 2014, under an interim servicing agreement.
Salaries and benefits decreased $93.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to $131.3 million of share-based compensation expense due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our
executives in the third quarter of 2013. This decrease was partially offset by: (i) employee retention and severance accruals of $3.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014 due to the recent workforce reduction of approximately 170 employees; (ii) higher salary accruals reflecting an increase in number of employees and increased originations of personal loans; and (iii) share-based compensation expenses during the 2014 period due to the grant of RSUs to certain of our executives and employees subsequent to the initial public offering of SHI common stock.
Provision for income taxes totaled $309.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to benefit from income taxes of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 32.8% compared to (5.2)% for the same period in 2013. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 differed from the federal statutory rates primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture, partially offset by the effect of our state income taxes.
Reconciliation of Income (Loss) before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes on Push-Down Accounting Basis to Historical Accounting Basis
Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at November 30, 2010, the date of the Fortress Acquisition, in accordance with business combination accounting standards, or push-down accounting. Push-down accounting affected and continues to affect, among other things, the carrying amount of our finance receivables and long-term debt, our finance charges on our finance receivables and related yields, our interest expense, our allowance for finance receivable losses, and our net charge-offs and charge-off ratio. In general, on a quarterly basis, we accrete or amortize the valuation adjustments recorded in connection with the Fortress Acquisition, or record adjustments based on current expected cash flows as compared to expected cash flows at the time of the Fortress Acquisition, in each case, as described in more detail in the footnotes to the table below. In addition, push-down accounting resulted in the elimination of accretion or amortization of discounts, premiums, and other deferred costs on our finance receivables and long-term debt prior to the Fortress Acquisition. The reconciliations of income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a push-down accounting basis to income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP that we believe provides a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand our operating results) were as follows:

(c) | Provision for finance receivable losses consists of the allowance for finance receivable losses adjustments and net charge-offs quantified in the table below. Allowance for finance receivable losses adjustments reflect the net difference between our allowance adjustment requirements calculated under our historical accounting basis net of adjustments required under push-down accounting basis. Net charge-offs reflect the net charge-off of loans at a higher carrying value under historical accounting basis versus the discounted basis to their fair value at date of the Fortress Acquisition under push-down accounting basis. |
Components of provision for finance receivable losses adjustments were as follows:

|
| |
(d) | Repurchases and repayments of long-term debt adjustments reflect the impact on acceleration of the accretion of the net discount or amortization of the net premium applied to long-term debt. |
| |
(e) | Fair value adjustments on debt reflect differences between historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis. On a historical accounting basis, certain long-term debt components are marked-to-market on a recurring basis and are no longer marked-to-market on a recurring basis after the application of push-down accounting at the time of the Fortress Acquisition. |
| |
(f) | Fair value adjustments on sales of finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment reflect the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition that were sold in the 2014 period. |
| |
(g) | Amortization of other intangible assets reflects the amortization over the remaining estimated life of intangible assets established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition as a result of the application of push-down accounting. |
| |
(h) | “Other” items reflect differences between historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis relating to various items such as the elimination of deferred charges, adjustments to the basis of other real estate assets, fair value adjustments to fixed assets, adjustments to insurance claims and policyholder liabilities, and various other differences all as of the date of the Fortress Acquisition. |
At September 30, 2014, the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis totaled $5.3 million for net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, and $616.1 million for long-term debt.
Segment Results
See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our segments. Management considers Consumer, Insurance, and Acquisitions and Servicing as our Core Consumer Operations and Real Estate as our Non-Core Portfolio. Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition, which we refer to as “historical accounting basis,” to provide a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand the operating results of these segments. The historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP) also provides better comparability of the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry. The historical accounting basis is not applicable to the Acquisitions and Servicing segment since this segment was added effective April 1, 2013 as a result of our co-investment in the SpringCastle Portfolio and therefore, was not affected by the Fortress Acquisition. See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for reconciliations of segment totals to condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.
We allocate revenues and expenses (on a historical accounting basis) to each segment using the following methodologies:
|
| |
Interest income | Directly correlated with a specific segment. |
Interest expense | Disaggregated into three categories based on the underlying debt that the expense pertains to: |
l securitizations — allocated to the segments whose finance receivables serve as the collateral securing each of the respective debt instruments; |
l unsecured debt — allocated to the segments based on expected leverage for that segment or the balance of unencumbered assets and cash proceeds from sale of receivables in that segment; and |
l secured term loan — allocated to the segments whose finance receivables served as the collateral securing each of the respective debt instruments. |
Provision for finance receivable losses | Directly correlated with a specific segment except for allocations to “other,” which are based on the remaining delinquent accounts as a percentage of total delinquent accounts. |
Insurance revenues | Directly correlated with a specific segment. |
Investment revenues | Directly correlated with a specific segment. |
Net gain (loss) on repurchases and repayments of debt | Allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt. |
Net gain (loss) on fair value adjustments on debt | Directly correlated with a specific segment. |
Other revenues — other | Directly correlated with a specific segment except for gains and losses on foreign currency exchange and derivatives. These items are allocated to the segments based on the interest expense allocation of debt. |
Salaries and benefits | Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other salaries and benefits not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided. |
Other operating expenses | Directly correlated with a specific segment. Other operating expenses not directly correlated with a specific segment are allocated to each of the segments based on services provided. |
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses | Directly correlated with a specific segment. |
We evaluate the performance of each of our segments based on its pretax operating earnings.

Excluding these recoveries, our Consumer charge-off ratio would have been 3.81% and 4.09%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the impacts of the $14.5 million of additional charge-offs and the $23.8 million of recoveries on charged-off core personal loans, our Consumer charge-off ratio would have been 3.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. |

Finance charges — Consumer increased $47.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to increases in average net receivables and yield. Average net receivables increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to increased originations on personal loans resulting from our continued focus on personal loans. Yield increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to pricing of new personal loans at higher state specific rates with concentrations in states with more favorable returns.
Finance charges — Acquisitions and Servicing decreased $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to lower average net receivables due to the liquidating status of the SpringCastle Portfolio, partially offset by higher yields on the finance receivables remaining in the portfolio.

Provision for finance receivable losses — Acquisitions and Servicing decreased $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to lower delinquency ratio of the SpringCastle Portfolio at September 30, 2014 and its liquidating status.
Insurance revenues increased $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to increases in credit and non-credit earned premiums reflecting higher originations of personal loans in the 2014 period. The increase in credit premiums also reflects the origination of personal loans with longer terms.
Net gain on fair value adjustments on debt — Acquisitions and Servicing of $1.5 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 resulted from the unrealized gain on fair value adjustments of the long-term debt associated with the securitization of the SpringCastle Portfolio that is accounted for at fair value through earnings.
Other revenues — other increased $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to servicing fee revenues for the fees charged by Acquisitions and Servicing for servicing the SpringCastle Portfolio. We assumed the direct servicing obligations for these loans in September 2013. These fees are eliminated in consolidated operating results with the servicing fee expenses, which are included in other operating expenses.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to unfavorable variances in benefit reserves and claim reserves.
Reconciliation of Income (Loss) before Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes on Historical Accounting Basis to Pretax Core Earnings
Pretax core earnings is a key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of our Core Consumer Operations. Pretax core earnings represents our income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a historical accounting basis and excludes results of operations from our non-core portfolio (Real Estate) and other non-originating legacy operations, gains (losses) resulting from accelerated long-term debt repayment and repurchases of long-term debt related to Consumer, gains (losses) on fair value adjustments on debt related to Core Consumer Operations (attributable to SHI), and results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests. Pretax core earnings provides us with a key measure of our Core Consumer Operations’ performance as it assists us in comparing its performance on a consistent basis. Management believes pretax core earnings is useful in assessing the profitability of our core business and uses pretax core earnings in evaluating our operating performance. Pretax core earnings is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net income, operating cash flow, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) | The loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects $2.2 million of recoveries on charged-off real estate loans resulting from a sale of previously charged-off real estate loans in March 2014, net of a $0.2 million reserve for subsequent buybacks. Excluding these recoveries, our Real Estate loss ratio would have been 1.99% for the nine months ended September 2014. |
| |
(b) | The loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects $9.9 million of recoveries on charged-off real estate loans resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013. Excluding these recoveries, our Real Estate loss ratio would have been 2.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. |
Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Finance charges decreased $117.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to decreases in average net receivables and yield. Average net receivables decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the continued liquidation of the real estate portfolio, including the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $7.2 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. The increase in yield for the three months ended September 30, 2014 reflected a higher proportion of our remaining real estate loans that are secured by second mortgages, which generally have higher yields.
Interest expense decreased $47.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to lower securitization interest expense as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to its previous mortgage securitization transactions. This decrease also reflected lower unsecured debt interest expense allocated to Real Estate.
Provision for finance receivable losses decreased $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in provision for finance receivable losses reflected a reduction in the allowance requirements recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $7.2 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. This decrease also reflected lower real estate loan delinquency ratio at September 30, 2014.
Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflected acceleration of amortization of deferred costs and repurchases of debt at net amounts greater than carrying value.
Net gain on fair value adjustments on debt of $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflected differences between historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis. On a historical accounting basis, certain long-term debt components are marked-to-market on a recurring basis and are no longer marked-to-market on a recurring basis after the application of push-down accounting at the time of the Fortress Acquisition.
Net gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $279.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily reflected cash bids of amounts greater than the equity basis of the real estate loans at the date of sale. The net gain also included proceeds of $38.8 million from the related MSR Sale.
Comparison of Pretax Operating Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Finance charges decreased $197.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to decreases in average net receivables and yield. Average net receivables decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the continued liquidation of the real estate portfolio, including the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $7.2 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. The decrease in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflected a higher proportion of TDR finance receivables, which generally have lower rates than non-modified real estate loans. The higher proportion of TDR finance receivables resulted from the transfers of a substantial portion of performing real estate loans to finance receivables held for sale during the first nine months of 2014.
Interest expense decreased $136.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to lower secured term loan interest expense allocated to Real Estate and lower securitization interest expense as a result of the sales of the Company’s beneficial interests in the mortgage-backed retained certificates related to its previous mortgage securitization transactions.
Provision for finance receivable losses decreased $69.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in provision for finance receivable losses reflected a reduction in the allowance requirements recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of the transfers of real estate loans with a total carrying value of $7.2 billion to finance receivables held for sale and the subsequent sales of nearly all of these real estate loans during the first nine months of 2014. This decrease also reflected lower real estate loan delinquency ratio at September 30, 2014 and was partially offset by $9.9 million of recoveries recorded in June 2013 on previously charged-off real estate loans resulting from a sale of these loans in June 2013.
Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt of $10.0 million and $35.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflected acceleration of amortization of deferred costs and repurchases of debt at net amounts greater than carrying value.
Net gain on fair value adjustments on debt of $8.3 million and $45.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflected differences between historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis. On a historical accounting basis, certain long-term debt components are marked-to-market on a recurring basis and are no longer marked-to-market on a recurring basis after the application of push-down accounting at the time of the Fortress Acquisition.
Net gain on sales of real estate loans and related trust assets of $194.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily reflected cash bids of amounts greater than the equity basis of the real estate loans at the date of sale. The net gain also included proceeds of $38.8 million from the related MSR Sale. The net gain was partially offset by the lower of cost or fair value adjustments recorded on the dates the real estate loans were transferred to finance receivables held for sale. Consistent with our segment reporting presentation, we have combined the lower of cost or fair value adjustments with the final gain (loss) on the sales of these loans.
OTHER
“Other” consists of our other non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our prospective Core Consumer Operations and our Non-Core Portfolio. These operations include our legacy operations in 14 states where we have also ceased branch-based personal lending as a result of our restructuring activities during the first half of 2012, our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicated auto finance operation), our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Effective June 1, 2014, we also report (on a prospective basis) certain real estate loans with equity capacity in Other. These short equity loans, which have liquidated down to an immaterial level, were previously included in our Core Consumer Operations. At June 1, 2014, the transfer date, the carrying value of these loans totaled $16.3 million.

Credit Quality
Our customers encompass a wide range of borrowers. In the consumer finance industry, they are described as prime or near-prime at one extreme and non-prime or sub-prime (less creditworthy) at the other. Our customers’ incomes are generally near the national median but our customers may vary from national norms as to their debt-to-income ratios, employment and residency stability, and/or credit repayment histories. In general, our customers have lower credit quality and require significant levels of servicing.
As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting and adjusted the carrying value of our finance receivables (the “FA Loans”) to their fair value on November 30, 2010. For purchased finance receivables, such as the SpringCastle Portfolio (“SCP Loans”), we also record these loans at fair value on the day of purchase.
Carrying value of finance receivables includes accrued finance charges, unamortized deferred origination costs and unamortized net premiums and discounts on purchased finance receivables. We record an allowance for loan losses to cover expected losses on our finance receivables.
For both the FA Loans and SCP Loans, we segregate between those considered to be performing (“FA Performing Loans” and “SCP Performing Loans,” respectively) and those for which it was determined it was probable that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments (“FA Credit Impaired Loans” and “SCP Credit Impaired Loans,” respectively). For the FA Performing Loans and the SCP Performing Loans, we accrete the purchase discount to contractual cash flows over the remaining life of the loan to finance charges. For the FA Credit Impaired Loans and SCP Credit Impaired Loans, we record the expected credit loss at purchase and recognize finance charges on the expected effective yield.

We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivable as our primary credit quality indicator. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. We consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING
We make modifications to our real estate loans to assist borrowers in avoiding foreclosure. When we modify a real estate loan’s contractual terms for economic or other reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and grant a concession that we would not otherwise consider, we classify that loan as a TDR finance receivable.
Information regarding TDR finance receivables held for investment and held for sale were as follows:
|

|
| |
(a) | TDR net finance receivables at September 30, 2014 includes $231.6 million of TDR finance receivables held for sale. |
| |
(b) | Allowance ratio at September 30, 2014 reflects the higher proportion of real estate loans secured by second mortgages as a result of the real estate loan sales during the first nine months of 2014. |
Net finance receivables held for investment and held for sale that were modified as TDR finance receivables within the previous 12 months and for which there was a default during the period to cause the TDR finance receivables to be considered nonperforming (90 days or more past due) were as follows:

(b) | Represents the corresponding balance of TDR net finance receivables at the end of the month in which they defaulted. |
We may make modifications to loans in our newly acquired SpringCastle Portfolio to assist borrowers in avoiding default and to mitigate the risk of loss. When we modify a loan’s contractual terms for economic or other reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and grant a concession that we would not otherwise consider, we classify that loan as a TDR finance receivable. We restructure finance receivables only if we believe the customer has the ability to pay under the restructured terms for the foreseeable future. There were no SpringCastle Portfolio TDR accounts as of the April 1, 2013 acquisition date as any account deemed as a TDR under our policy was categorized as a purchased credit impaired finance receivables. The amount of SpringCastle Portfolio loans that has been classified as a TDR finance receivable subsequent to the acquisition date is $0.2 million and has not yet reached a significant level for detailed disclosure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed the majority of our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitization debt, unsecured debt, and borrowings under our secured term loan. In the future, we plan to finance our operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations, securitization debt, unsecured debt, other corporate debt facilities, and equity.
As a holding company, all of the funds generated from our operations are earned by our operating subsidiaries. Our operating subsidiaries’ primary cash needs relate to funding our lending activities, our debt service obligations, our operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, expenditures relating to upgrading and monitoring our technology platform, risk systems, and branch locations.
Our insurance subsidiaries maintain reserves as liabilities on the balance sheet to cover future claims for certain insurance products. Claims reserves totaled $71.0 million as of September 30, 2014.
At September 30, 2014, we had $2.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, SHI generated net income of $551.5 million. Our net cash inflow from operating and investing activities totaled $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, our remaining scheduled principal and interest payments for 2014 on our existing debt (excluding securitizations) totaled $483.8 million. As of September 30, 2014, we had $1.9 billion UPB of unencumbered personal loans and $713.2 million UPB of unencumbered real estate loans.
Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of our plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.
To reduce the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates on our debt not offset by favorable changes in yield of our finance receivables, we monitor the anticipated cash flows of our assets and liabilities, principally our finance receivables and debt. We have funded finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity and have based the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt issuances, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported. On a historical accounting basis, our floating-rate debt represented 1% of our borrowings at September 30, 2014 and 8% at December 31, 2013.
LIQUIDITY
Operating Activities
Cash from operations decreased $158.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to one-time costs relating to the real estate sales transactions, partially offset by higher net interest income.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the sales of finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment during the first nine months of 2014. Net cash used for investing activities of $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflected the purchase of the SpringCastle Portfolio on April 1, 2013.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities of $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the repayments of the secured term loan and the 2013-BAC trust notes in late March 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to the issuance of long-term debt associated with the securitization of the SpringCastle Portfolio in April 2013.
Liquidity Risks and Strategies
SFC’s credit ratings are non-investment grade, which have a significant impact on our cost of, and access to, capital. This, in turn, can negatively affect our ability to manage our liquidity and our ability or cost to refinance our indebtedness.
There are numerous risks to our financial results, liquidity, capital raising, and debt refinancing plans, some of which may not be quantified in our current liquidity forecasts. These risks include, but are not limited, to the following:
| |
• | our inability to grow or maintain our personal loan portfolio with adequate profitability; |
| |
• | the effect of federal, state and local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices; |
| |
• | the liquidation and related losses within our remaining real estate portfolio could result in reduced cash receipts; |
| |
• | potential liability relating to real estate and personal loans which we have sold or may sell in the future, or relating to securitized loans; and |
| |
• | the potential for disruptions in the debt and equity markets. |
The principal factors that could decrease our liquidity are customer delinquencies and defaults, a decline in customer prepayments, and a prolonged inability to adequately access capital market funding. We intend to support our liquidity position by utilizing the following strategies:
| |
• | maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and pricing for loans we originate or purchase and managing purchases of finance receivables; |
| |
• | pursuing additional debt financings (including new securitizations and new unsecured debt issuances, debt refinancing transactions and standby funding facilities), or a combination of the foregoing; |
| |
• | purchasing portions of our outstanding indebtedness through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration, as we may determine; and |
| |
• | obtaining secured revolving credit facilities to allow us to use excess cash to pay down higher cost debt. |
However, it is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates could prove to be materially incorrect.
OUR INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES
State law restricts the amounts our insurance subsidiaries, Merit and Yosemite, may pay as dividends without prior notice to, or in some cases approval from, the Indiana Department of Insurance. The maximum amount of dividends that can be paid without prior approval in a 12 month period, measured retrospectively from the date of payment, is the greater of 10% of policyholders’ surplus as of the prior year-end, or the net gain from operations as of the prior year-end. On October 20, 2014,
Merit paid an ordinary dividend of $18.0 million to SFC that did not require prior approval, and Yosemite paid an extraordinary dividend of $57.0 million to SFC upon receiving prior approval. During the third quarter of 2013, our insurance subsidiaries paid $150.0 million of extraordinary dividends to SFC upon receiving prior approvals. In addition, effective July 31, 2013, Yosemite paid, as an extraordinary dividend to SFC, 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, CommoLoCo, Inc., in the amount of $57.8 million, upon receiving prior approval.
OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS
On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into Guaranty Agreements whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payments of principal, premium (if any), and interest on approximately $5.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes on a senior basis and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture (collectively, the “notes”) on a junior subordinated basis issued by SFC. The notes consist of the following: 8.250% Senior Notes due 2023; 7.750% Senior Notes due 2021; 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020; a 60-year junior subordinated debenture; and all senior notes outstanding on December 30, 2013, issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 (the “1999 Indenture”), between SFC and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the successor trustee to Citibank N.A.). As of December 30, 2013, approximately $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes were outstanding under the 1999 Indenture. The 60-year junior subordinated debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into a Trust Guaranty Agreement whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the related payment obligations under the trust preferred securities. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $5.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes under the 1999 Indenture, and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture were outstanding.
The debt agreements to which SFC and its subsidiaries are a party include customary terms and conditions, including covenants and representations and warranties. Some or all of these agreements also contain certain restrictions, including restrictions on the ability to create senior liens on property and assets in connection with any new debt financings and SFC’s ability to sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets, unless the transferee assumes SFC’s obligations under the applicable debt agreement.
With the exception of SFC’s junior subordinated debenture and one consumer loan securitization, none of our debt agreements require SFC or any of its subsidiaries to meet or maintain any specific financial targets or ratios.
Under our debt agreements, certain events, including non-payment of principal or interest, bankruptcy or insolvency, or a breach of a covenant or a representation or warranty may constitute an event of default and trigger an acceleration of payments. In some cases, an event of default or acceleration of payments under one debt agreement may constitute a cross-default under other debt agreements resulting in an acceleration of payments under the other agreements.
As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.
Junior Subordinated Debenture
In January 2007, SFC issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debenture (the “debenture”) under an indenture dated January 22, 2007 (the “Junior Subordinated Indenture”), by and between SFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company, as trustee. The debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. SFC can redeem the debenture at par beginning in January 2017.
Pursuant to the terms of the debenture, SFC, upon the occurrence of a mandatory trigger event, is required to defer interest payments to the holders of the debenture (and not make dividend payments to SFI) unless SFC obtains non-debt capital funding in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the debenture otherwise payable on the next interest payment date and pays such amount to the holders of the debenture. A mandatory trigger event occurs if SFC’s (1) tangible equity to tangible managed assets is less than 5.5% or (2) average fixed charge ratio is not more than 1.10x for the trailing four quarters (where the fixed charge ratio equals earnings excluding income taxes, interest expense, extraordinary items, goodwill impairment, and any amounts related to discontinued operations, divided by the sum of interest expense and any preferred dividends).
Based upon SFC’s financial results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, a mandatory trigger event did not occur with respect to the payment due in January 2015 as the tangible equity to tangible managed assets was 22.4% and the average fixed charge ratio was 1.11x.
Consumer Loan Securitization
In connection with the Sumner Brook 2013-VFN1 securitization, SFC is required to maintain an available cash covenant and a consolidated tangible net worth covenant. At September 30, 2014, SFC is in compliance with these covenants.
Structured Financings
We execute private securitizations under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. As of September 30, 2014, our structured financings consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | Initial Note Amounts Issued (a) | | Initial Collateral Balance (b) | | Current Note Amounts Outstanding | | Current Collateral Balance (b) | | Current Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Collateral Type | | Revolving Period |

In addition to the structured financings included in the table above, we completed one conduit securitization in 2014 and three conduit securitizations in 2013. At September 30, 2014, we had drawn $100 million under these facilities. Also, on October 3, 2014, the Co-Issuers repaid the SpringCastle 2013-A Notes using the proceeds from the sale of the SpringCastle 2014-A Notes. See Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this subsequent event.
Our 2013 and 2014 securitizations have served to partially replace secured and unsecured debt in our capital structure with more favorable non-recourse funding. Our overall funding costs are positively impacted by our increased usage of securitizations as we typically execute these transactions at interest rates significantly below those of our maturing secured and unsecured debt.
The weighted average interest rates on our debt on a historical accounting basis were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 | | Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted average interest rate | | 5.42 | % | | 5.33 | % | | 5.31 | % | | 5.57 | % |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, other than certain representations and warranties associated with the sales of the mortgage-backed retained certificates during the first nine months of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we had no repurchase activity related to these sales.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We consider the following policies to be our most critical accounting policies because they involve critical accounting estimates and a significant degree of management judgment:
| |
• | allowance for finance receivable losses; |
| |
• | purchased credit impaired finance receivables; |
| |
• | TDR finance receivables; |
| |
• | push-down accounting; and |
| |
• | fair value measurements. |
We believe the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses is the most significant estimate we make. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the models and assumptions used to assess the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or to our methodologies for deriving critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Seasonality
Our personal loan volume is generally highest during the second and fourth quarters of the year, primarily due to marketing efforts, seasonality of demand, and increased traffic in branches after the winter months. Demand for our personal loans is usually lower in January and February after the holiday season and as a result of tax refunds. Delinquencies on our personal loans tend to peak in the second and third quarters and higher net charge-offs on these loans usually occur at year end. These seasonal trends contribute to fluctuations in our operating results and cash needs throughout the year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no significant changes to our market risk previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period. Based on their evaluation, and in light of the previously identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2013, described within the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014.
We have developed a remediation plan for this material weakness, including enhancing our complement of resources with accounting and internal control knowledge through additional hiring and/or training to implement and perform additional controls over the initial and subsequent accounting for certain complex non-routine transactions. We are currently implementing this plan. When fully implemented and operating effectively, such enhancements are expected to remediate the material weakness described above. However, we cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
