Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of presentation | The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2025. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year.
Fiscal calendar | We have a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to three and nine month periods in this report relate to fiscal periods ended January 2, 2026 and December 27, 2024. The three months ended January 2, 2026 and December 27, 2024 each consisted of 13 weeks. The nine months ended January 2, 2026 consisted of 40 weeks, whereas the nine months ended December 27, 2024 consisted of 39 weeks. Our 2026 fiscal year consists of 53 weeks and ends on April 3, 2026.
Use of estimates | The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of business combinations including acquired intangible assets and goodwill, loss contingencies, provision for credit losses, valuation of our contingent value rights (CVRs), the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and valuation of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management determines these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Third-party valuation specialists are also utilized for certain estimates. Actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment as a result of macroeconomic factors such as inflation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, changes in interest rates, ongoing and new geopolitical conflicts, and such differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition | We adopted additional revenue recognition policies for Trust-Based Solutions that differ from our prior subscription-based software revenue model. Refer to our revenue recognition policy in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2025. Specifically, MoneyLion recognizes revenue from stand-ready referral arrangements based on variable transaction prices within the period in which services are provided, to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Refer to Note 3 for discussion on revenue recognition related to our Instacash Advances.
Net Interest Income on Notes Receivables | Net interest income on notes receivables is generated by interest earned on our Credit Builder Loan product, which are classified as notes receivables within accounts receivable, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest income and the related accrued interest receivables on notes receivables are accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding except for loans that are on nonaccrual status. We recognize interest income using the effective interest method. Our policy is to suspend recognition of interest income on notes receivables and place the loan on nonaccrual status when the account is 60 days or more past due on a contractual basis or when, in our estimation, the collectability of the account is uncertain and has not yet been charged-off.
Allowance for Losses | We maintain an allowance for credit losses on trade receivables, notes receivables and related accrued interest, and retained Instacash Advances to cover current expected credit losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is recorded through a provision for credit losses, and subsequent charge-offs, net of recoveries, are applied directly against this allowance. The allowance is based on management’s assessment of several factors, with primary consideration given to recent trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, given the short-term nature of our receivables. Our policy is to charge-off notes receivables, related accrued interest, and certain trade receivables, net of expected recoveries, in the month an account becomes 90 days contractually past due. If an account is deemed to be uncollectible prior to this date, we will charge-off the receivable in the month it is determined to be uncollectible. We determine the past due status using the contractual payment terms (credit quality indicator).
Sale of Instacash Advances | Sales of Instacash Advances (the amount advanced to the customer) are accounted for as a sale when we determine that the Instacash Advances meet all the necessary criteria, including legal isolation for transferred assets, lack of constraint on the transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets for their benefit and the transfer of control. As a result, we no longer record these Instacash Advances in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We have also concluded that our continuing involvement in the sales arrangement does not affect this determination. We retain the servicing rights for the Instacash Advances sold and receive a market-based service fee for servicing the assets sold. Instacash Advances held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. If fair value is lower than cost, the difference between cost and fair value is recorded as a component of loss on sale within our sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. If we no longer have the intent to sell Instacash Advances held for sale, they are reclassified to Accounts Receivables, net.
Contingent Value Rights | We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. The currently outstanding CVRs issued as part of the MoneyLion acquisition consideration are classified as equity under these conditions.
Government Regulation | We are subject to various state and federal laws and regulations in each of the states in which we operate, which are subject to change and may impose significant costs or limitations on the way we conduct or expand our business. Our consumer loans are originated under individual state laws, which may carry different rate and rate limits, and have varying terms and conditions depending upon the state in which they are offered. We are also subject to state licensing requirements of each individual U.S. state in which we operate, including with respect to certain consumer lending, life insurance and mortgage products and services that we offer directly or to which we connect consumers through third parties. Other governmental regulations include, but are not limited to, imposed limits on certain charges, insurance products and required licensing and qualifications.
Restricted Cash | Restricted cash consists of cash required to be held in reserve by our vendors to support loan and Instacash Advance processing and funding activities. All cash accounts are held in federally insured institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. With the exception of those discussed in Note 2 and new significant accounting policies as a result of our acquisition of MoneyLion, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2026, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2025.
Recently issued authoritative guidance not yet adopted | ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance to update income tax disclosure requirements, requiring disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid. This is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We will adopt the standard in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2026. The adoption of the standard will modify our disclosures but will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows. ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. This is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
