Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

The CECL reserve reflects management’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the receivable balances included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 3—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion of the CECL reserve methodology.

As described in Note 1—“Organization and Basis of Presentation,” upon adoption of the new CECL guidance on January 1, 2020, the Company recognized an initial CECL reserve of $1.9 million, of which, $1.1 million was in “Loans, forgivable loans and other receivables from employees and partners, net,” and $0.8 million was in “Accrued commissions and other receivables, net,” against its receivables portfolio with a corresponding charge to “Retained deficit” on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity.

As required, any subsequent changes to the CECL reserve are recognized in “Net income (loss) available to common stockholders” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an increase of $0.7 million in the CECL reserve against the receivables portfolio, bringing the Company’s total CECL reserve to $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020. This total CECL reserve is comprised of $1.6 million for “Loans, forgivable loans and other receivables from employees and partners, net” and $1.0 million for “Accrued commissions and other receivables, net.” For the year ended December 31, 2020, there was an increase of $0.5 million, in the CECL reserve pertaining to “Loans, forgivable loans and other receivables from employees and partners, net” as a result of employee terminations, bringing the CECL reserve recorded pertaining to “Loans, forgivable loans and other receivables from employees and partners, net” to $1.6 million as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there was an increase of $0.2 million in the CECL reserve against “Accrued commissions and other receivables, net,” due to the updated macroeconomic assumptions resulting from COVID-19, and the downward credit rating migration of certain receivables in the portfolio, bringing the CECL reserve recorded pertaining to “Accrued commissions and other receivables, net” to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2020.
