The company also advanced initiatives to strengthen credit performance and operating efficiency. Enhanced fraud controls introduced in June include third-party fraud scores, step-up identity verification, and a dedicated central fraud operations team, and the company’s new proprietary origination scorecard is now live in the majority of its states. The company’s new branch loan origination platform will be live in all branches during the fourth quarter. In collections, the company has centralized the management of late-stage delinquent accounts, enabling its branches to focus on sales and early-stage delinquency, and has deployed enhanced contact data, branded calling, and AI-enabled tools to improve customer engagement, cure rates, and collection efficiency.
In July 2026, the company launched end-to-end digital lending, enabling customers to complete the entire loan process online. The company is scaling the channel with discipline, expanding only as credit performance validates its risk-adjusted return expectations. Over time, the company expects digital originations to complement its branch network, which remains at the core of its operations, and to become an important contributor to growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The company’s management utilizes non-GAAP measures as additional metrics to aid in, and enhance, its understanding of the company’s financial results. Tangible equity and the funded debt-to-tangible equity ratio are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude intangible assets. Management uses these equity measures to evaluate and manage the company’s capital and leverage position. The company also believes that these equity measures are commonly used in the financial services industry and provide useful information to users of the company’s financial statements in the evaluation of its capital and leverage position.
This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.
