UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Upbound Group, Inc. included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We suggest these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the reported amounts for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net earnings or earnings per share in any period. See Note 3 and Note 10 for further information.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent losses and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In applying accounting principles, we must often make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. However, uncertainties, including those related to recent macroeconomic trends or other factors, may affect certain estimates and assumptions inherent in the financial reporting process, which may impact reported amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods and cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations
The financial statements included herein include the accounts of Upbound Group, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Upbound Group, Inc.” refer only to Upbound Group, Inc., the parent, and references to the “Company”, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the consolidated business operations of Upbound Group and any or all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. We currently report four operating segments: Acima, Rent-A-Center, Brigit and Mexico.
On January 31 2025, we established a new operating segment following the acquisition of Bridge IT, Inc. (“Brigit”). Please reference Note 2 for additional discussion of the acquisition. In addition we combined our Franchising segment with our Rent-A-Center segment. Financial information disclosed within this report has been recast for the related prior year period to reflect this change. Brigit’s results of operations are reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from January 31, 2025.
Our Acima segment, which primarily operates in the United States and Puerto Rico, generally offers the lease-to-own transaction to consumers who do not qualify for traditional financing through staffed or unstaffed kiosks located within third-party retailer locations or other virtual options. In virtual locations, customers, either directly or with the assistance of a representative of the third-party retailer, initiate the lease-to-own transaction online in the retailers’ locations using our virtual solutions.
Our Rent-A-Center segment primarily consists of company-owned lease-to-own stores in the United States and Puerto Rico that lease durable goods to customers on a lease-to-own basis. In addition, we offer merchandise on an installment sales basis in certain of our stores operating under the names “Get It Now” and “Home Choice” in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Rent-A-Center segment also includes franchising operations that offer the sale of rental merchandise to our franchisees, who in turn offer the merchandise to the general public for rent or purchase under lease-to-own agreements consistent with our company-owned lease-to-own stores. We also receive royalties of 3.0% to 6.0% of the franchisees' monthly gross revenues. Our Rent-A-Center segment operates through our company-owned and franchise stores, and e-commerce platforms through rentacenter.com, getitnowstores.com and homechoicestores.com.
Our Brigit segment, which operates in the United States, includes the operations of Bridge IT Inc., which was acquired on January 31, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). The Brigit segment, through mobile and web applications, offers various financial

health products and tools to help users improve their financial health, such as Finance Helper, Earn and Save, Instant Cash, Credit Builder, Identity Theft Protection and more. These products and tools help customers budget better, improve financial literacy, find ways to earn and save money, access their earned wages before their regularly scheduled payday, build their credit through savings and protect themselves from identity theft.
Our Mexico segment consists of our company-owned stores in Mexico that lease durable goods to customers on a lease-to-own basis.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency of the annual income tax disclosures by requiring specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 was required for us beginning January 1, 2025 for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We will include required disclosures in our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2025 using a prospective approach.
Note 2 - Acquisitions
Brigit Acquisition
On December 12, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Fortuna Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Brigit, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of Brigit’s securityholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Brigit (the “Merger”), with Brigit surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger with Brigit, a leading holistic financial health technology company, is intended to accelerate Upbound’s strategy to provide technology-driven financial solutions to customers underserved by the traditional financial system. The Merger was completed for total purchase consideration of approximately $395.4 million comprised of stock, cash and other consideration described further below.
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we issued to the security holders of Brigit (the “Brigit Securityholders”) approximately 2.7 million shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Closing Stock Consideration”), with a value of $29.75 per share based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and paid to them closing cash consideration of approximately $278.5 million (“Closing Cash Consideration”), excluding approximately $63.7 million in debt settlement payments and other transaction expenses.
We also entered into deferred cash award agreements with certain Brigit employees to replace their unvested Brigit stock options or unvested phantom awards, as applicable, (“Replacement Awards”), each entitling the holder to receive an amount in cash upon vesting equal to the excess of the merger consideration per common shares over the exercise price of the original award. The maximum amount payable pursuant to the Replacement Awards, approximately $7.8 million, included in the Closing Cash Consideration described above, was escrowed on the Closing Date and recorded to Prepaid and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Replacement Awards are subject to vesting conditions that are substantially similar to those of the original awards. They will be amortized over the remaining award vesting periods as compensation expense and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will also pay the Brigit Securityholders $75 million, payable in multiple installments (“Deferred Consideration”), $37.5 million of which will be payable 30 days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date and the remainder of which will be payable no later than 30 days following the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The payment of the Deferred Consideration is subject to acceleration if certain acceleration events specified in the Merger Agreement occur prior to the payment of the Deferred Consideration. The estimated fair value of the Deferred Consideration at the Closing Date was approximately $66.1 million, discounted to estimate the present value of the installment payments that will be made over a 2-year period as described above. The Brigit Securityholders may also receive up to $60 million in earnout payments based on the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the Brigit business in 2026. The estimated fair value of the earnout payments at the Closing Date was approximately $10.6 million. The fair value of the earnout payments was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on our estimated long range cash flow projections for the Brigit business.
The portion of Closing Stock Consideration issued to Brigit’s co-founders and certain of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Co-Founders”) included approximately 1.3 million shares, valued at $39.1 million, which are subject to certain vesting

restrictions over a two-year period from the Closing Date and other limitations set forth in a restricted stock agreement entered into with each such Co-Founder. These shares are being recognized as stock-based compensation expense subject to ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”, over the required vesting period, and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition have been recorded at their fair values. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

(in thousands) | January 31, 2025
Aggregate cash consideration(1) | $ | 277,668 |
Aggregate stock consideration(2) | 41,019 |
Other consideration(3) | 76,691 |
Total purchase consideration | $ | 395,378 |
ASSETS ACQUIRED |
Receivables, net(4) | $ | 44,470 |
Prepaid expenses and other assets | 2,672 |
Property assets | 65,311 |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | 850 |
Goodwill | 196,866 |
Other intangible assets | 152,300 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 462,469 |
LIABILITIES ASSUMED |
Accounts payable - trade | 17,989 |
Accrued liabilities | 3,877 |
Operating lease liabilities | 850 |
Deferred income taxes | 44,375 |
Total liabilities assumed | 67,091 |
Net assets acquired | $ | 395,378 |

(1) Aggregate cash consideration excludes $7.8 million in Replacement Awards described above and $58.6 million in cash acquired, and includes cash paid to settle Brigit's outstanding debt and loan balances and other transaction expenses of $63.7 million, and post-closing net working capital adjustments of $1.7 million.
(2) Aggregate stock consideration excludes approximately 1.3 million shares valued at approximately $39.1 million subject to certain vesting restrictions, as described further above.
(3) Includes the fair value of Deferred Consideration and earnout payments described above, which were not included in Closing Cash Consideration paid at the time of closing but will be paid out in future periods based on the terms of the Merger Agreement.
(4) Includes gross contractual receivables of $43.8 million related to customer cash advances, of which $4.5 million were estimated to be uncollectible as of the Closing Date.
The carrying values for certain assets and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition, including receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were considered equivalent to and recorded as fair value, as of the date of acquisition, due to the short term nature of these balances. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were recorded as the discounted value of future obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The fair value measurements for acquired intangible assets and developed technology were primarily based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) developed using company-specific information. Certain fair values were determined based on an independent valuation of the net assets acquired, including $152.3 million of identifiable intangible assets with an estimated weighted average useful life of nine years, as follows:

Asset Class | Estimated Fair Value (in thousands) | Estimated Remaining Useful Life (in years)
Customer contracts | $ | 144,500 |  | 10
Trade name | 7,800 |  | 7

Developed technology, included in Property assets, net, in line with our accounting policies, was also acquired with a value of $65.1 million and an estimated remaining useful life of seven years. The fair value for these intangible and property assets were estimated using common industry valuation methods for similar asset types, including the relief-from-royalty, excess earnings and replacement cost methods based primarily on the Company's cost inputs and projected cash flows.

UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In addition, we recorded goodwill of $196.9 million in our Brigit operating segment, which consists of the excess of the net purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents expected cost and revenue synergies and other benefits expected to result within our financial health business from the acquisition of Brigit.
Brigit’s results of operations are reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Closing Date.
In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded adjustments to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to post-closing updates in net working capital and adjustments to deferred income taxes resulting in an overall decrease to goodwill of approximately $1.3 million. Although we do not anticipate additional adjustments to the above values, we are still in the process of finalizing our assessments of the purchase price allocation and will record any additional necessary adjustments to acquired assets and liabilities within the allowable measurement period.
In connection with this acquisition, we have incurred approximately $9.8 million in acquisition-related expenses including expenses related to legal, professional, and banking transaction fees, of which $6.1 million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These costs were included in other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations present our financial results as if the acquisition of Brigit had been completed on January 1, 2024. These unaudited pro forma results may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma information reflects step-up and step-down adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million and $12.4 million for the fair value of the assets acquired, compensation expense of $(2.2) million and $14.6 million as a result of Closing Stock Consideration and Replacement Awards subject to vesting provisions, interest expense of $1.4 million and $8.6 million due to the elimination of historical debt, accreted interest of $0.3 million and $1.9 million related to the Deferred Consideration, and adjustments to income tax expense (benefit) of $1.2 million and $(13.6) million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, pro forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 has been adjusted to reflect transaction expenses incurred of $22.0 million as of January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma financial information is as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands) | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024

Pro Forma net earnings(1) | 5,327 |  |  | 28,153 |  |  | 37,066 |  |  | 25,734 |

(1) Total pro forma adjustments to net earnings represented decreases of $10.1 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively and $5.8 million and $35.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
The amounts of revenue and earnings of Brigit included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date of January 31, 2025 are as follows:

(in thousands) | January 31, 2025 - June 30, 2025 |
Total revenues | $ | 83,751 |  |
Net earnings(1) | 10,780 |  |

(1)Net earnings for the period includes amortization and depreciation of intangible assets and developed technology acquired upon closing of the Brigit acquisition.
Other Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired one lease-to-own store location and customer accounts for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.2 million. The store location was closed upon acquisition and consolidated into existing store operations in our Rent-A-Center segment.

Lease Purchase Agreements
Rentals and Fees. Rental merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease-to-own agreements, which provide for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly terms with non-refundable lease payments. At the expiration of each lease term, customers may renew the lease-to-own agreement for the next lease term. The customer has the right to acquire title of the merchandise either through an early purchase option or through payment of all optional lease renewal terms. Customers can terminate the
11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
lease-to-own agreement and return the product at the end of any lease term without penalty. Therefore, lease-to-own agreements are accounted for as operating leases.
Lease payments received at our company-owned Rent-A-Center stores, certain Acima locations formerly operating under the Acceptance Now brand, and Mexico stores must be prepaid in advance of the next lease renewal term. Under the Acima Holdings business model, in certain cases revenues may be earned prior to the lease payment due date, in which case revenue is accrued prior to receipt of the lease payment, net of estimated returns and uncollectible renewal payments. Under both models, rental revenue is recognized over the lease term. See Note 4 for additional information regarding accrued lease revenue.
Cash received for rental payments, including fees, prior to the period in which it should be recognized, is deferred and recognized according to the lease term. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $61.0 million and $61.6 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to our lease-to-own agreements. Revenues related to various payments, reinstatement or late fees are recognized when paid by the customer at the point service is provided. Rental merchandise in our company-owned Rent-A-Center stores, certain Acima locations formerly operating under the Acceptance Now brand, and Mexico stores is depreciated using the income forecasting method and recognized in cost of rentals and fees in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the lease term. Lease merchandise under Acima Holdings is depreciated over the lease term using a straight-line depreciation method. Under the income forecasting method, the consumption of lease merchandise occurs during periods of rental and depreciation directly coincides with the receipt of rental revenue over the lease-to-own contract period. Depreciation under the straight-line method is recognized each period over the term of the lease-to-own contract irrespective of receipt of revenue payments from the customer.
We also offer additional optional product plans along with our lease-to-own agreements which provide customers with liability protection against significant damage or loss of a product, and club membership benefits, including various discount programs and product service and replacement benefits in the event merchandise is damaged or lost, and payment waivers in the event eligible customers become unemployed. Customers renew product plans in conjunction with their lease term renewals, and can cancel the plans at any time. Revenue for product plans is recognized over the term of the plan. Costs incurred related to product plans are primarily recognized in cost of revenues.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Merchandise Sales. Revenue for merchandise sales is recognized when payment is received and ownership of the merchandise passes to the customer. Merchandise sales include payments received for the exercise of the early purchase options offered through our lease-to-own agreements or merchandise sold through point-of-sale transactions. The remaining net value of lease merchandise sold is recorded to cost of merchandise sold at the time of the transaction. Revenue from the sale of lease merchandise to our franchisees is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise to the franchisee (previously reported in franchise merchandise sales in prior periods).
Revenue from the sale of merchandise in our retail installment stores is recognized when the installment note is signed and control of the merchandise has passed to the customer (previously reported in installment sales revenue in prior periods). The cost of merchandise sold through installment agreements is recognized at the time of the transaction. We offer optional extended service plans with our installment agreements which are administered by third parties and provide customers with product maintenance beyond the term of the installment agreement. Payments received for extended service plans are deferred and recognized, net of related costs, when the installment payment plan is complete and the service plan goes into effect. Customers can cancel extended service plans at any time during the installment agreement period and receive a refund for payments previously made towards the plan. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to extended service plans.
Subscriptions and fees. Subscription payments in our Brigit segment are received on a monthly basis from customers who upgrade to a Plus or Premium subscription tier via the Brigit mobile application and/or web browser. Depending on the optional subscription tier, the customer gains access to some or all of the following services: Credit Monitoring, Credit Builder, Identity Theft Protection, and Instant Cash. This payment can range based on a variety of factors and higher cost tiers generally offer additional services. Brigit continually fulfills obligations to each customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represent a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. We recognize revenue ratably as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the platform throughout the monthly contract period. Price concessions are granted to customers who have insufficient funds and are unable to make subscription payments when they are due.
We also receive payments from customers who request their cash advance be delivered faster. Such expedited transfer fee payments from customers are recognized as revenue over the expected term of the associated customer cash advance. We also serve offers from our marketplace partners’ products and services in our Earn & Save section of our mobile application. We receive a payment based on contractual terms, generally on the basis of customer traffic or conversions brought to such
12

UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
products or services. Marketplace revenues are recognized as customer traffic is added and conversions to the marketplace partners’ products and services occur.
Other. Other revenue primarily consists of franchise royalties, including franchisee contributions to corporate advertising funds, which represent sales-based royalties calculated as a percentage of gross rental payments and sales (previously reported in royalty income and fees in prior periods). Royalty revenue is accrued and recognized as lease payments and merchandise sales occur. Franchise fees are initial fees charged to franchisees for new or converted franchise stores. Franchise fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $2.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to franchise fees.
Other revenue also includes revenues generated by other miscellaneous product plans offered to our lease-to-own and installment customers. Revenue for other product plans is recognized in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan agreement.
Note 4 - Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade and notes receivables consist of amounts due from our lease-to-own customers for lease renewal payments and past due uncollected lease payments, adjusted for the probability of collection based on our assessment of historical collection rates and length of time the receivable is past due; amounts owed from our franchisees for inventory purchases, earned royalties and other obligations; and other corporate related receivables. Credit is extended to franchisees based on an evaluation of each franchisee’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Trade receivables are generally due within 30 days.
Installment sales receivables consist primarily of receivables due from customers for the sale of merchandise in our retail installment stores. Installment sales receivables associated with the sale of merchandise at our Get It Now and Home Choice stores generally consist of the sales price of the merchandise purchased and any additional fees for optional services the customer has chosen, less the customer’s down payment. No interest is accrued and interest income is recognized each time a customer makes a payment, generally on a monthly basis. Interest payments received on installment agreements for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $4.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, included in our merchandise sales revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Customer cash advances consist of earned wage access advances provided to Brigit customers when requested. By leveraging cash flow information from the customer’s bank account as well as customer verified income information, Brigit’s algorithm assesses their earned income and ability to repay, with no FICO needed and no impact on credit scores. Brigit’s algorithms also predict when a customer may fall short and can automatically send advances to the customers’ account if they choose. Generally customers repay cash advances shortly after they receive their next paycheck.
Receivables consist of the following:

Total receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts | $ | 189,894 |  |  | $ | 156,438 |

(1) Trade and notes receivables includes accrued revenue, adjusted for the probability of collection, related to our lease-to-own agreements of $54.3 million and $51.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, including $50.8 million and $46.6 million related to lease-to-own agreements for Acima Holdings and $3.0 million and $3.6 million related to lease-to-own agreements for Rent-A-Center at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(2) Lease receivables are accrued on a net basis, adjusted for the probability of collection based on our assessment of historical collection rates, as described above. Therefore, we do not maintain a separate allowance for doubtful accounts related to our lease receivables.
The allowance for our franchising trade and notes receivables is determined by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, previous loss history, the franchisee’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Trade receivables that are more than 90 days past due are either written-off or fully reserved in our allowance for doubtful accounts. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts for our installment notes receivable. Our policy for determining the allowance is primarily based on historical loss experience, as well as the results of management’s review and analysis of the payment and collection of the installment notes receivable within the previous year. Our allowance is adequate to absorb all
13

UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
expected losses. Our policy is to charge off installment notes receivable that are 120 days or more past due. Charge-offs are applied as a reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts and any recoveries of previously charged off balances are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We estimate the allowance for customer cash advance losses based on a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, previous loss history and current economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is recognized upon origination of customer cash advances. Customer cash advances are deemed not collectible after 45 days beyond the due date and are charged-off as a reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts and any recoveries of previously charged off balances are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The allowance for doubtful accounts related to franchising trade and notes receivables was $13.4 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, the allowance for doubtful accounts related to installment sales receivables was $11.1 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the allowance for doubtful accounts related to Brigit customer cash advances was $5.1 million at June 30, 2025.
Changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

Note 5 - Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 31.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to non-deductible expenses related to the Brigit acquisition. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 we recorded a favorable adjustment related to foreign deferred tax assets that did not reoccur in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBB") was signed into law. The OBBB contains a broad range of tax reform provisions, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and the immediate expensing of domestic R&D under the new § 174A of the Internal Revenue Code. We are currently evaluating the effects OBBB will have on our financial statements. There is no impact from this legislation reflected in our financial statements as of June 30, 2025.
Note 6 - Senior Debt
On February 17, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, providing for a seven-year $875 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), as amended on September 21, 2021, June 15, 2023 and May 28, 2024, and an Asset Based Loan Credit Facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), as amended August 10, 2022 and June 7, 2024, providing for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility with commitments of $550 million and a letter of credit sublimit of $150 million. Commitments under the ABL Credit Facility may be increased, at our option and under certain conditions, by up to an additional $125 million in the aggregate.
Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were net of original issue discount of $4.4 million upon issuance from the lenders. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Credit Facility, we incurred approximately $30.2 million in debt issuance costs, including third party legal and other professional fees, of which $25.3 million was capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Debt” and recorded as a reduction of our outstanding senior debt, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On August 10, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, effective as of August 10, 2022. The amendment effected the replacement of LIBOR with Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) as the benchmark rate of interest thereunder.
On June 15, 2023, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, effective as of June 15, 2023. The amendment effected the replacement of LIBOR with Term SOFR as the benchmark rate of interest.
14

UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
On May 28, 2024 we entered into a Third Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, effective as of May 28, 2024. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, effected a repricing of the applicable margin under the Term Loan Facility by reducing the applicable margin, with respect to any initial term loans, by 50 basis points from 3.25% to 2.75% and removing the credit spread adjustment that was previously included in the calculation of the adjusted Term SOFR rate for term benchmark loans.
In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, we incurred approximately $2.0 million in debt issuance costs, including third party arrangement and other professional fees, of which approximately $1.8 million were expensed as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and approximately $0.2 million were capitalized and recorded as a reduction to our outstanding senior debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, in accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Debt”, we recorded approximately $4.4 million in write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount previously capitalized upon the issuance of the Term Loan Facility on February 17, 2021. The write-offs were recorded as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On June 7, 2024, we entered into a Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, effective as of June 7, 2024. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, extended the maturity date for loans outstanding to June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions).
In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, we incurred approximately $3.2 million in debt issuance costs, including third-party arrangement and other professional fees, which were capitalized and recorded as a reduction to our outstanding senior debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, in accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Debt”, we recorded approximately $0.4 million in write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs previously capitalized upon the issuance of the ABL Credit Facility on February 17, 2021. The write-offs were recorded as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of June 30, 2025, the total remaining balances of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to our senior debt reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were approximately $7.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility.
We had $334.0 million outstanding borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility at June 30, 2025 and borrowing capacity of $169.5 million, net of issued letters of credit of approximately $46.5 million. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $798.0 million at June 30, 2025.
ABL Credit Facility
The ABL Credit Facility will mature on June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions). We may borrow only up to the lesser of the level of the then-current borrowing base and the aggregate amount of commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The borrowing base is tied to the amount of eligible installment sales accounts, inventory and eligible lease contracts, reduced by certain reserves.
The ABL Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate determined by reference to an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%. The total interest rate on the ABL Credit Facility at June 30, 2025 was 6.39%, including an applicable margin of 2.00%. A commitment fee equal to 0.250% to 0.375% of the unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility fluctuates dependent upon average utilization for the prior month as defined by a pricing grid included in the governing documents of the ABL Credit Facility. The commitment fee at June 30, 2025 was 0.250%. We paid $0.4 million of commitment fees during the second quarter of 2025.
Loans under the ABL Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until June 7, 2029, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our material wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and such guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash and cash equivalents, rental agreements, general intangibles (other than equity interests in our subsidiaries), chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims related to the foregoing and other related assets and all proceeds thereof related to the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions (such assets, collectively, the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and a second-priority basis in substantially all other present and future tangible and intangible personal property of ours and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The ABL Credit Facility contains covenants that are usual and customary for similar facilities and transactions and that, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or
15

(Unaudited)
lease all or substantially all of our and our restricted subsidiaries’ assets, to another person; pay dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or certain other debt; and make other restricted payments.
The governing documents of the ABL Credit Facility provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving us and our significant subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all requirements and conditions set forth in our ABL Credit Facility governing documents.
Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility, which matures on February 17, 2028, amortizes in equal quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. Subject in each case to certain restrictions and conditions, we may add up to $500 million (plus additional amounts subject to satisfaction of certain financial ratios) of incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Facility or utilize incremental capacity under the Term Loan Facility at any time by issuing or incurring incremental equivalent term debt.
Interest on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The total interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 7.03% at June 30, 2025.
The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our present and future tangible and intangible personal property, including our subsidiary guarantors, other than the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below), and by a second-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by us and our material wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Credit Facility.
The Term Loan Facility contains covenants that are usual and customary for similar facilities and transactions and that, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our and our restricted subsidiaries’ assets, to another person; pay dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or certain other debt; and make other restricted payments. The Term Loan Facility also includes mandatory prepayment requirements related to asset sales (subject to reinvestment), and debt incurrence (other than permitted debt), subject to certain limitations described therein. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions set forth in the governing documents of the Term Loan Facility.
The Term Loan Facility provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving us and our significant subsidiaries.
The table below shows the scheduled maturity dates of our outstanding senior debt at June 30, 2025 for each of the years ending December 31:

Note 7 - Senior Notes
On February 17, 2021, we issued $450 million in senior unsecured notes all of which are due February 15, 2029, at par value, bearing interest at 6.375% (the “Notes”), the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the consideration upon closing of the Acima Holdings acquisition. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we incurred approximately $15.7 million in debt issuance costs, including bank financing fees and third party legal and other professional fees, which were capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Debt” and recorded as a reduction of our outstanding Notes in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes. As of June 30, 2025, the total remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs related to our Notes reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was approximately $7.1 million.
We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time for cash at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience specific kinds of change in control, we will be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes are our general unsecured senior obligations, and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, equal in right of payment to all of our and our guarantor subsidiaries’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that have outstanding indebtedness or guarantee other specified indebtedness, including the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility.
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of some of our restricted subsidiaries to create liens, transfer or sell assets, incur indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make other restricted payments or investments, create restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts to us by our restricted subsidiaries, merge or consolidate with other entities, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The covenants limiting restricted payments, restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts to us by our restricted subsidiaries, the ability to incur indebtedness, asset dispositions and transactions with affiliates will be suspended if and while the Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc.
The indenture governing the Notes also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable.
Note 8 - Fair Value
We follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values, in determining the fair value of our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, which consist primarily of goodwill. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, borrowings against our ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, and outstanding Notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, because of the short maturities of these instruments. In addition, the interest rates on our Term Loan Facility and ABL Credit Facility are variable and, therefore, we believe the carrying value of outstanding borrowings approximates their fair value.
The fair value of our Notes is based on Level 1 inputs and was as follows at June 30, 2025:

| June 30, 2025
(in thousands) | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Difference
Senior notes | $ | 450,000 |  |  | $ | 442,260 |  |  | $ | (7,740) |

Note 9 - Other Gains and Charges
Acima Holdings Acquisition. On February 17, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Acima Holdings, a leading provider of virtual lease-to-own solutions. Included in the aggregate consideration issued to the former owners of Acima Holdings were 8,096,595 common shares, valued at $414.1 million, subject to 36-month vesting conditions under restricted stock agreements, which were recognized over the vesting term as stock compensation expense, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $4.9 million in stock compensation expense, related to these restricted stock agreements. See Note 11 for additional information. These restricted stock agreements were fully vested as of March 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under our Corporate segment.
The fair value of assets acquired as part of the transaction included $520 million in intangible assets and $170 million in developed technology. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $21.9 million and $23.6 million in amortization expense, respectively, related to acquired intangible assets. We also recognized approximately $7.9 million in incremental depreciation expense related to acquired technology assets during both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Depreciation expense for technology assets is reported under our Corporate segment.
Brigit Acquisition. As described in Note 2, on January 31, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Brigit, a leading holistic financial health technology company. Included in the aggregate consideration issued to the former owners of Brigit were 1,313,331 shares, valued at $39.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, will be recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $10.5 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements, in addition to $6.1 million related to Brigit's Replacement Awards and other agreement compensation. Stock-based compensation expense and other compensation associated with the Brigit acquisition is reported under our Corporate segment. See Note 2 and Note 11 for additional information.
The fair value of assets acquired as part of the transaction included $152.3 million in intangible assets and $65.1 million in developed technology.

Depreciation expense for technology assets is reported under our Corporate segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $6.1 million in transaction costs associated with the closing of the transaction.
Legal Matters. As disclosed further in Note 12 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as previously disclosed, we are currently party to a filed regulatory lawsuit with the New York Attorney General, as well as a multi-state regulatory investigation by attorneys’ general offices from forty states, neither of which we believe are representative of historical regulatory matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters relate to lease-to-own transactions for our Acima subsidiary, which was acquired in 2021. We are also party to a certified class action brought on behalf of certain individuals who entered into rental purchase agreements with the Company’s former Acceptance Now business in California and who paid certain fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded estimated legal accruals of $41.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, based on the then-current status of our legal matters, including the foregoing matters, and incurred litigation and defense expenses of $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily related to the New York Attorney General and multi-state matters. Legal accruals for litigation matters and related defense expenses are reported under our Corporate segment. We will continue to evaluate and modify our estimated legal accruals as appropriate in future periods based on future developments.
Stock Award Letter Agreement. On April 3, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of April 5, 2024. The terms of the letter agreement included special provisions for his outstanding restricted stock awards vesting at various times through February 2027, which resulted in the acceleration of stock compensation expense for those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”. Accelerated stock compensation expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 due to this letter agreement was approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under our Corporate segment.
Store Consolidations. During the first half of 2024, we closed 55 Rent-A-Center stores, resulting in pre-tax charges of $0.4 million in miscellaneous holding costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $5.4 million in lease impairment charges, $0.6 million in disposal of fixed assets and $0.4 million in other miscellaneous shutdown and holding costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Internally Developed Software Depreciation. During the third quarter of 2023, we completed initial development and began pilot testing a new internally developed point-of-sale system for our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores. Deployment of the new system across our lease-to-own store network began in the second quarter of 2024 and was completed in the third quarter of 2024, at which time our existing point-of-sale software was retired. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2023, we accelerated the remaining useful lives of our existing point-of-sale software assets to align with the deployment timeline of our new point-of-sale system, which resulted in the recognition of additional depreciation expense of $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Depreciation expense for internally developed software is reported under our Corporate segment.

Note 10 - Segment Information
The operating segments reported below are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”). Our CODMs include Upbound’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our CODMs regularly review the operating performance of our operating segments as compared to Company projections and operating performance in prior periods, in addition to other factors, including the Company’s strategic initiatives, as well as industry, macroeconomic, and market trends, in determining the appropriate allocation of resources to support our business operations. Our operating segments are organized based on factors including, but not limited to, type of business transactions, geographic location and store ownership. Within our operating segments, we offer merchandise for lease from certain basic product categories, such as: furniture, including mattresses; tires; consumer electronics; appliances; tools; handbags; computers; and accessories. On January 31, 2025, we established a new operating segment following the acquisition of Brigit. Please reference Note 2 for additional discussion of the acquisition. In addition we combined our Franchising segment with our Rent-A-Center segment. Financial information disclosed within this report has been recast for the related prior year period to reflect this change. We report four operating segments: Acima, Rent-A-Center, Brigit and Mexico.

Note 11 - Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Repurchase Program
In early December 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $500 million (the “December 2021 Program”), which superseded our previous stock repurchase program. Under the December 2021 Program, we may purchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to acquire any shares under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no repurchases of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Approximately $235.0 million remains available for repurchases under the current authorization at June 30, 2025.
Stock Based Compensation
We recognized $5.0 million and $6.4 million in compensation expense related to stock awards issued under the Upbound Group, Inc. Amended 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $12.6 million and $13.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we granted 757,704 market-based performance units and 809,026 time-vesting units under the 2021 Plan. Performance-based restricted stock units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Time-vesting restricted stock units are valued based on our closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant, or as of the date of modification in the event an award is modified. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the market-based performance and time-vesting restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $27.09 and $26.63, respectively.
In connection with the acquisition of Acima Holdings in 2021, we issued to the former owners of Acima Holdings 10,779,923 of common shares valued at $51.14 per share, as of the date of closing. Of this total, 2,683,328 common shares were included in the aggregate purchase price of the transaction for financial reporting purposes, while 8,096,595 common shares, valued at $414.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, were recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation” and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized $4.9 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2024. These restricted stock agreements were fully vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
As described in Note 2, in connection with the acquisition of Brigit on January 31, 2025, we issued to the former owners of Brigit approximately 2.7 million common shares valued at $29.75 per share, as of the Closing Date. Of this total, 1,313,331 common shares, valued at approximately $39.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, will be recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”. We recognized $6.4 million and $10.5 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On April 3, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of April 5, 2024. The terms of the letter agreement included special provisions for his outstanding restricted stock awards vesting at various times through February 2027, which resulted in the acceleration of stock compensation expense for those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation”. Accelerated stock compensation expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 due to this letter agreement was approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and was recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12 - Contingencies
Given the nature of our businesses and the heavily regulated industries in which we operate, we, along with our subsidiaries, are party to various legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries are described below. In addition to the matters described below, we are also party to other legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries that we believe, based on our current knowledge, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, including arbitrations, litigation, putative class actions and other matters alleging various types of claims, including those based on consumer regulatory, contract, labor and employment and other alleged claims. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, including the fact that some pending legal proceedings are at preliminary stages or seek an indeterminate amount of damages, penalties, fines or other relief, it is possible that the outcome of one or more legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
We regularly monitor developments related to our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations, determine whether a reserve is appropriate if the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, and review the adequacy of our reserves for such matters on a quarterly basis. As a result, we do not have reserves for all matters with respect to which we may or will have future liability, and no assurance can be given that our reserves, when recorded, will be adequate to cover the full amount of any loss we may ultimately incur. In addition, certain of these matters involve demands for monetary relief and changes to our business practices that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations were we to agree to them as part of a settlement or be subject to them following an adverse result in litigation.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had estimated legal accruals of $52.4 million and $20.7 million, respectively, included in accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for pending legal and regulatory matters for which we believe losses are probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, excluding the subsequent update for the McBurnie litigation provided below, we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of our pending legal proceedings, governmental inquiries and investigations (which include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed below) and, therefore, are unable to estimate a range of losses related to these matters that may be reasonably possible to occur. In addition to our estimated legal accruals, as of June 30, 2025 we have incurred legal and other related expenses, and expect to incur substantial additional legal and related expenses, associated with the litigation and investigations discussed below and other pending legal matters.
Unclaimed Property. We are subject to unclaimed property audits by states in the ordinary course of business. The property subject to review in the audit process includes unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer refunds. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property to the state. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in assessments that could include interest and penalties, in addition to the payment of the escheat liability itself. We routinely remit escheat payments to states and believe we are in compliance with applicable escheat laws.
Multi-State Attorneys’ General Investigation. In November 2021, Acima received a letter from the Nebraska Attorney General’s office stating that the Attorney General of Nebraska, along with a coalition of thirty-eight state Attorneys General, initiated a multi-state investigation into the business acts and practices of Acima and that a civil investigative demand(s) and/or subpoena(s) pursuant to respective state consumer protection laws will be forthcoming. Since receiving the letter, we have held multiple discussions and attended meetings with officials at many of the applicable attorneys’ general offices, including members of the Executive Committee, which is leading the negotiations on behalf of the multistate group (the “Multistate”). Based on our engagement with the Multistate, it is our understanding that the investigation involves forty states. The District of Columbia was formerly a member of the Multistate and part of the Executive Committee, but recently withdrew from the Multistate and presented a separate settlement demand, and we are engaging in discussions with the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office in addition to the Multistate.
In April 2022, we received a request for information and documents, and we have produced various records in response to the request. In March 2024, the Multistate presented their findings and allegations from their investigation to Acima. In May 2024, Acima submitted its response to the Multistate’s presentation.
In the second quarter 2024, Acima received a settlement proposal from the Multistate. Since then, the parties have continued to engage in conversations regarding a potential resolution and Acima has responded to the Multistate’s and District of Columbia’s settlement proposals and monetary demands. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although we would not be willing to agree to the Multistate’s or District of Columbia’s most recent monetary demands which we believe are unsupportable or agree to a number of the other terms presented, we expect to continue to discuss the potential resolution of this matter with the Multistate and the District of Columbia. We are currently unable to predict whether or on what terms, including the amount of a monetary payment and specific business practice changes, any settlement with the Multistate, or individual
23

(Unaudited)
members of the group, or the District of Columbia, can be achieved. If we are unable to reach agreement on terms acceptable to us and to the various states involved, some or all of such states may commence legal proceedings against Acima. We cannot provide any assurance that any settlement or adverse result in litigation will not require a monetary payment and/or changes to Acima’s business practices or operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.
New York Attorney General Litigation. The New York Attorney General (the “NYAG”) issued a subpoena to our Acima subsidiary in January 2020, prior to our acquisition of Acima, seeking information with respect to various business practices in connection with Acima’s lease-to-own transactions. Acima received additional subpoenas from the NYAG in August 2021 and July 2023. Acima cooperated with the NYAG throughout its investigation. In March 2023, the NYAG provided Acima with a proposed assurance of discontinuance alleging violations of certain consumer laws, seeking injunctive relief regarding certain business practices, and seeking payment of unspecified amounts for restitution and civil penalties. In April 2023, Acima submitted its response to the NYAG’s proposed assurance of discontinuance. In February 2024, Acima provided a settlement proposal to the NYAG. In March 2024, the NYAG presented Acima with an initial monetary demand for settlement purposes. On August 14, 2024, despite Acima’s cooperation with the investigation and its active engagement in settlement discussions with the NYAG, the NYAG filed a lawsuit against Acima in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The lawsuit alleges violations of various consumer financial protection laws and regulations similar to those set forth in the NYAG’s March 2023 proposed assurance of discontinuance. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, unspecified monetary relief and civil penalties and other relief. Acima filed a motion to dismiss the NYAG’s lawsuit. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the trial court has not yet ruled on Acima’s motion to dismiss. Acima will continue to vigorously defend itself against the NYAG’s lawsuit. We cannot provide any assurance that Acima will be successful in defending against the NYAG’s litigation or that an adverse result in litigation will not require a monetary payment and/or changes to Acima’s business practices or operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.
McBurnie Litigation. We are a defendant in a certified class action entitled McBurnie, et al. v. Acceptance Now, LLC, brought on behalf of individuals who entered into a rental purchase agreement with the Company’s Acceptance Now business in California and were charged a processing fee and/or an expedited fee. Plaintiffs allege that the fees they were charged were neither “reasonable” nor “actually incurred” in violation of the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act and other California state consumer protection laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified actual damages pursuant to the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act; statutory damages pursuant to the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act; attorneys’ fees and costs; exemplary damages; and public injunctions for alleged violations of the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act, the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and California unfair competition laws. The action is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In November 2022, the District Court denied our motion to compel arbitration, and in December 2022, we filed an interlocutory appeal of that denial with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, pending which the District Court proceedings were stayed. In March 2024, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s denial of our motion to compel arbitration and its finding that plaintiffs’ challenge to the processing fee was not moot, while remanding the action to the District Court to consider whether plaintiffs have standing to challenge the expedited payment fee. Plaintiffs have since notified the District Court that they do not intend to pursue their claims regarding the expedited payment fee. In June 2024, we filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, appealing the decision from the Court of Appeals. Our petition for certiorari was denied by the Supreme Court in October 2024. Proceedings before the District Court have resumed. In June 2025, the District Court certified a class of consumers who were charged a processing fee in California within the class period, and scheduled a trial date for January 2026. In late July 2025, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the class action. We disagree with the allegations in the case and we did not admit to any violations of law or any wrongdoing. However, to avoid additional expense, risk and distractions associated with further protracted litigation, we have agreed in principle to settle this case. The agreement in principle provides a cash payment by the Company of $14.0 million, which was substantially reserved for as of June 30, 2025, as an estimated loss contingency in our consolidated financial statements. The agreement in principle remains subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive settlement agreement and approval by the District Court of the class settlement, neither of which can be assured. If the settlement is not finalized for any reason, we intend to continue to vigorously defend the litigation.
FlexShopper Litigation. On September 30, 2024, FlexShopper, Inc. (“FlexShopper”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Upbound Group, Inc, Acima Holdings, LLC and Acima Digital, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. On October 1, 2024, FlexShopper issued a press release announcing the lawsuit and a similar lawsuit it filed against another lease-to-own company, Katapult Holdings, Inc. The lawsuit filed against our company seeks damages and an injunction for alleged infringement of five patents assigned to FlexShopper. Flexshopper’s claims relate to certain technology allegedly used in connection with Acima’s e-commerce third-party retailer lease-to-own business. In February 2025, we filed a motion to

dismiss all of Flexshopper’s claims. In April 2025, we filed a motion to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the District Court has not yet ruled on Acima’s motion to dismiss or motion to transfer venue. We will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit. We are currently unable to predict the eventual outcome of this litigation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

Our Business
We are a technology and data-driven leader in accessible and inclusive financial solutions that address the evolving needs and aspirations of underserved consumers. Through our Acima and Rent-A-Center segments, we are a leading lease-to-own provider with operations in the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico. We provide a critical service for underserved consumers by providing them with access to, and the opportunity to obtain ownership of, high-quality, name brand durable products under a flexible lease-purchase agreement with no long-term debt obligation. Our Acima segment offers lease-to-own solutions through retailers in stores and online enabling such retailers to grow sales by expanding their customer base utilizing our differentiated offering and allowing customers to access our flexible lease-to-own solutions at thousands of retailers and to lease a wide range of durable products. Through our Rent-A-Center segment, we provide a fully integrated customer experience through our e-commerce platform and brick and mortar presence.
On January 31, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Brigit, a holistic financial health technology company that has helped millions of customers budget better, access their earned wages before their regularly scheduled payday, build their credit through savings, protect themselves from identity theft, and find ways to earn and save money. Its mission is to help customers build a better financial future. See Note 2 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1986, and our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “UPBD.”
Executive Summary
Our Strategy
Our strategy is focused on achieving our mission to elevate financial opportunity for all and growing our business through emphasis on the following key initiatives:
•Leverage data analytics capabilities to attract new customers, approve more customers and mitigate risk across business segments;
•Upgrade and integrate technology platforms to allow for a more simplified and seamless consumer experience, third-party retailer and waterfall integration and consumer transaction process and coworker efficiency;
•Execute on market opportunities and enhance our competitive position across both traditional and virtual lease-to-own solutions, and implement complementary products and services that supplement our current offerings and provide our customers more financial alternatives;
•Develop centers of excellence that will be leveraged across the organization to support our various business segments, utilizing best practices to drive efficiency and growth;
28

•Grow penetration with current Acima third-party retailers and build on our strength with small to medium size businesses while also adding new national and regional third-party retailers to our platform and expanding our direct-to-consumer channels; and
•At Rent-A-Center, accelerate the shift to e-commerce, improve the fully integrated omni-channel customer experience and expand product categories, which we expect will increase brand awareness and customer loyalty.
As we pursue our strategy, we have taken, and may in the future take, advantage of joint venture, partnership, or merger and acquisition opportunities from time to time that advance our key initiatives and elevate the financial mobility of underserved consumers.
Recent Developments
One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”). The OBBB was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and contains a broad range of tax reform provisions, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and the immediate expensing of domestic R&D under the new § 174A of the Internal Revenue Code. We are currently evaluating the effects OBBB will have on our financial statements.
Dividend. On June 3, 2025, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share for the second quarter of 2025. The dividend was paid on July 8, 2025 to our common stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2025.
Business and Operational Trends
Macroeconomic Conditions. In recent years, we have experienced significant change in business and operational trends driven by macroeconomic conditions, which have directly impacted our customers as well as our operations, including significant changes in the U.S. consumer price index, changes in demand for certain consumer retail categories, changes in consumer payment behaviors, a condensed labor market, which has also contributed to wage inflation, rapid increases in interest rates, changes in tariff and trade policies, and global supply chain disruptions resulting in reduced product availability and rising product costs.
While the lease-to-own industry has historically remained a resilient business model throughout various economic cycles, the full extent to which our risk management strategy and these macroeconomic trends (including consumer spending and payment behavior) may impact our business in future periods is uncertain. The continuation of volatile macroeconomic trends may have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, including our results of operations, operating cash flows, liquidity and capital resources.
See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for additional discussion of impacts to our business and additional risks associated with macroeconomic conditions.
Rent-A-Center e-commerce revenue. In recent years, e-commerce revenues have continued to increase as a percentage of total rentals and fees revenue in our Rent-A-Center segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, e-commerce revenues represented approximately 27% and 26% of total lease-to-own revenues, respectively. Due to recent trends in consumer shopping behaviors and expectations, we believe e-commerce solutions are an important part of our lease-to-own offering. However, we are unable to quantify the extent to which e-commerce revenues are incremental compared to what our overall revenues would have been in the absence of those e-commerce transactions. In addition, the profitability of e-commerce transactions can be impacted by different merchandise loss factors compared to traditional store-based transactions in the Rent-A-Center segment. Therefore, we are unable to determine with certainty whether the continuation of this trend toward increased e-commerce transactions will have a significant impact to our financial statements in future periods or be ultimately favorable or unfavorable to our financial results.
Results of Operations
The following discussion focuses on our results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key Metrics
Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”): The Company defines Gross Merchandise Volume as the retail value in U.S. dollars of merchandise acquired by the Acima segment that is leased to customers through a transaction that occurs within a defined period, net of estimated cancellations as of the measurement date.
29

Lease Portfolio Value: Represents the aggregate dollar value of the expected monthly rental income associated with current active lease agreements from our Company-owned Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores and e-commerce platform at the end of any given period.
Same Store Lease Portfolio Value: Represents the aggregate dollar value of the expected monthly rental income associated with current active lease agreements from our Company-owned Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores that were operated by us for 13 months or more at the end of any given period. The Company excludes from the same store base any store that receives a certain level of customer accounts from closed stores or acquisitions. The receiving store will be eligible for inclusion in the same store base in the 30th full month following account transfer.
Same Store Sales: Same store sales generally represents revenue earned in Company-owned Rent-A-Center stores that were operated by us for 13 months or more and are reported on a constant currency basis as a percentage of total revenue earned in stores of the segment during the indicated period. The Company excludes from the same store sales base any store that receives a certain level of customer accounts from closed stores or acquisitions. The receiving store will be eligible for inclusion in the same store sales base in the 30th full month following account transfer.
Lease Charge-Offs (“LCOs”) (previously referred to as “skip / stolen losses”): Represents charge-offs of the net book value of unrecoverable on-rent merchandise with lease-to-own customers who are past due. This is typically expressed as a percentage of revenues for the applicable period. For the Rent-A-Center segment, LCOs exclude Get It Now, Home Choice and franchise-owned Rent-A-Center locations.

Overview
On January 31, 2025 we established a new operating segment following the acquisition of Brigit. Please reference Note 2 for additional discussion of the acquisition. In addition we combined our Franchising segment with our Rent-A-Center segment. Financial information disclosed within this report has been recast for the related prior year period to reflect this change. We report four operating segments: Acima, Rent-A-Center, Brigit and Mexico. The following briefly summarizes certain of our financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
During the first six months of 2025, consolidated revenues and gross profit increased by approximately $161.4 million and $60.9 million, respectively, primarily due to the addition of Brigit segment revenues and an increase in the Acima segment revenues, partially offset by a decrease in Rent-A-Center segment revenues described below. Operating profit decreased by approximately $29.1 million, primarily due to increases in other gains and charges, non-labor operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses of $57.1 million, $31.5 million, and $18.5 million, respectively, partially offset by the increase in gross profit noted above and a decrease in operating labor expenses of $16.0 million.
The Acima segment revenues increased approximately $142.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to increases in rentals and fees revenues and merchandise sales of $104.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively, primarily resulting from higher GMV. Growth in GMV was primarily due to an increase in third-party retailer locations and productivity, which resulted in more leases per retailer, and expanded direct-to-consumer offerings. Operating profit increased approximately $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $32.5 million and decreases in operating labor costs and other gains and charges of $4.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in non-labor operating expenses of $4.2 million. See “Segment Performance” below for further discussion of Acima segment operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Revenues in our Rent-A-Center segment decreased approximately $60.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to a decrease in same store sales of 3.0% driven by decreases in rentals and fees revenues and merchandise sales of $55.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Operating profit decreased approximately $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit of approximately $42.6 million in addition to higher general and administrative expenses of approximately $10.3 million, partially offset by decreases in non-labor operating expenses, operating labor expense and other gains and charges of $14.6 million, $12.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. See “Segment Performance” below for further discussion of Rent-A-Center segment operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Brigit segment had revenues and operating profit of $83.8 million and $19.3 million, respectively, since the Closing Date. See “Segment Performance” below for further discussion of Brigit segment operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
30

The Mexico segment revenues, gross profit and operating profit decreased by 8.9%, 9.3%, and 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to negative impacts of exchange rate fluctuations. See “Segment Performance” below for further discussion of Mexico segment operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cash flow from operations was $145.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we held $106.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had outstanding indebtedness of $1.6 billion.

Revenues. The increase in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily due to increases in rentals and fees revenues of $51.0 million and $104.4 million, respectively, and increases in merchandise sales revenue of $15.1 million and $37.5 million, respectively, resulting from higher GMV. Growth in GMV was primarily due to an increase in third-party retailer locations and productivity, which resulted in more leases per retailer, in addition to expanded direct-to-consumer offerings.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, driven primarily by the increase in revenues described above. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 31.5% and 30.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 32.5% and 31.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in merchandise sales as a percent of total revenue.

Operating profit as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 13.2% and 12.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 12.7% and 10.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in operating profit margin were primarily due to increases in gross profit as described above and decreases in operating labor of approximately $2.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Merchandise losses in our Acima locations due to LCOs, expressed as a percentage of revenues, were approximately 9.3% and 9.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 9.6% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Merchandise losses in our Acima locations due to other merchandise losses, expressed as a percentage of revenues, were 0.4% and 0.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and were negligible for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise and loss/damage waiver claims.

Revenues. The decrease in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to decreases in same store sales of 4.0% and 3.0%, respectively, driven by decreases in rentals and fees revenues of $31.2 million and $55.8 million, respectively, and decreases in merchandise sales of $5.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, driven primarily by the decrease in revenues described above. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 67.9% and 66.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 67.1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Profit. Operating profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 13.5% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 14.2% and 14.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.3 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily driven by increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to franchising trade receivables. Merchandise losses in our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores due to LCOs, expressed as a percentage of Rent-A-Center lease-to-own revenues, were approximately 4.7% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.2% and 4.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Merchandise losses in our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores due to other merchandise losses, expressed as a percentage of Rent-A-Center lease-to-own revenues, were approximately 1.0% and 0.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to approximately 1.6% and 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise and loss/damage waiver claims.

Revenues. Revenues were negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of approximately $2.6 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased approximately $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of approximately $1.9 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 71.4% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 71.9% and 71.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Operating Profit. Operating profit was negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating profit as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 9.9% and 8.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 7.5% and 7.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to lower LCOs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated $145.6 million in operating cash flow, used cash in the amount of $294.4 million for debt repayments, $276.2 million for acquisitions, $43.5 million for dividends and $28.8 million for capital expenditures, and had cash proceeds from indebtedness of $549.0 million. We ended the second quarter of 2025 with $106.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and outstanding indebtedness of $1.6 billion.
Analysis of Cash Flow. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $85.1 million to $145.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Brigit, timing of vendor payments in previous years, decreases in Rent-A-Center segment inventory purchases due to lower corporate-owned store count, and lower incentive compensation payouts, partially offset by higher inventory purchases at Acima driven by increased consumer demand.
Cash used in investing activities increased by $278.8 million to $304.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to payment of cash consideration for the acquisition of Brigit of $275.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
36

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $248.9 million to $204.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $(44.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility of $384.0 million, used to facilitate the Brigit acquisition, partially offset by an increase in debt repayments of $134.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Liquidity Requirements. Our primary liquidity requirements are for rental merchandise purchases, which are impacted by consumer demand for our lease-to-own solutions. Other capital requirements include expenditures for technology and property assets, and debt service. Our primary source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations.
We generally utilize our ABL Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit, to manage normal fluctuations in operational cash flow caused by the timing of cash payments vs cash receipts, and to potentially fund strategic initiatives including acquisitions. In that regard, we may from time to time draw funds under the ABL Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Amounts are drawn as needed due to the timing of cash flows and are generally paid down as cash is generated by our operating activities. We believe cash flow generated from operations and availability under our ABL Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next twelve months. At July 24, 2025, we had approximately $44.3 million in cash on hand, and $159.5 million available under our ABL Credit Facility.
Merchandise Losses. Merchandise losses consist of the following:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands) | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Lease charge-offs | $ | 81,956 |  |  | $ | 77,284 |  |  | $ | 163,862 |  |  | $ | 158,627 |

Total merchandise losses | $ | 88,963 |  |  | $ | 85,586 |  |  | $ | 176,428 |  |  | $ | 173,930 |

(1)Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise, and loss/damage waiver claims.
Capital Expenditures. We make capital expenditures in order to maintain our existing operations, acquire new capital assets in new and acquired stores and invest in information technology. We spent $28.8 million and $26.2 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $2.6 million is primarily due to higher investment in store-related assets in our Rent-A-Center segment.
Acquisitions and New Location Openings. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired one lease-to-own store location and customer accounts for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.2 million. The store location was closed upon acquisition and consolidated into existing store operations in our Rent-A-Center segment.
The table below summarizes the store location activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 for our Rent-A-Center and Mexico operating segments.

Senior Debt. On February 17, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, that provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility with commitments of $550 million and a letter of credit sublimit of $150 million, which commitments may be increased, at our option and under certain conditions, by up to an additional $125 million in the aggregate (as amended on June 7, 2024, the “ABL Credit Facility”). Under the ABL Credit Facility, we may borrow only up to the lesser of the level of the then-current borrowing base and the aggregate amount of commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The borrowing base is tied to the amount of eligible installment sales accounts, inventory and eligible lease contracts, reduced by certain reserves. The ABL Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate determined by reference to an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, which, as of July 24, 2025, was 6.40%. A commitment fee equal to 0.250% to 0.375% of the unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility fluctuates dependent upon average utilization for the prior month as defined by a pricing grid included in the
37

documentation governing the ABL Credit Facility. Loans under the ABL Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions), at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid.
The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our material wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and such guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash and cash equivalents, rental agreements, general intangibles (other than equity interests in our subsidiaries), chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims related to the foregoing and other related assets and all proceeds thereof related to the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions (such assets, collectively, the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and a second-priority basis in substantially all other present and future tangible and intangible personal property of ours and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
On February 17, 2021, we also entered into a term loan credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, that provides for a seven-year $875 million senior secured term loan facility (as amended on May 28, 2024, the “Term Loan Facility”). Subject in each case to certain restrictions and conditions, we may add up to $500 million (plus additional amounts subject to satisfaction of certain financial ratios) of incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Facility or utilize incremental capacity under the Term Loan Facility at any time by issuing or incurring incremental equivalent term debt. Interest on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a 0.50% Term SOFR floor, which, as of July 24, 2025 was 7.03%.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility amortize in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.000% per annum of the original aggregate principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of present and future tangible and intangible personal property of us and our subsidiary guarantors, other than the ABL Priority Collateral, and by a second-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by us and our material wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Credit Facility.
At July 24, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $798.0 million under the Term Loan Facility and available commitments of $159.5 million under our ABL Credit Facility, net of letters of credit.
See Note 6 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our senior debt.
Senior Notes. On February 17, 2021, we issued $450 million in senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2029, at par value, bearing interest at 6.375% (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time for cash at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience specific kinds of change in control, we will be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our senior notes.
Operating Leases. We lease space for all of our Rent-A-Center and Mexico stores under operating leases expiring at various times through 2036. In addition, we lease space for certain support facilities under operating leases expiring at various times through 2032. Most of our store leases are five-year leases and contain renewal options for additional periods ranging from three to five years at rental rates adjusted according to agreed-upon formulas. As of June 30, 2025, our total remaining obligation for existing store lease contracts was approximately $337.9 million.
We lease vehicles for all of our Rent-A-Center stores under operating leases with lease terms expiring twelve months after the start date of the lease. We classify these leases as short-term and have elected the short-term lease exemption for our vehicle leases, and have therefore excluded them from our operating lease right-of-use assets within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, our total remaining minimum obligation for existing Rent-A-Center vehicle lease contracts was approximately $3.1 million.
We also lease vehicles for all of our Mexico stores which have terms expiring at various times through 2029 with rental rates adjusted periodically for inflation. As of June 30, 2025, our total remaining obligation for existing Mexico vehicle lease contracts was approximately $3.3 million.
Uncertain Tax Position. As of June 30, 2025, we have recorded $0.4 million in uncertain tax positions. Although these positions represent a potential future cash liability to us, the amounts and timing of such payments are uncertain.
38

Seasonality. Our revenue mix is moderately seasonal, with the first quarter of each fiscal year generally providing higher sales than any other quarter during a fiscal year. Generally, our customers will more frequently exercise the early purchase option on their existing lease purchase agreements in our Acima and Rent-A-Center segments or purchase pre-leased merchandise off the showroom floor in our Rent-A-Center segment during the first quarter of each fiscal year, primarily due to the receipt of federal income tax refunds. In contrast, our cash expenditures for our merchandise purchases for the fiscal year are generally the highest beginning in the latter part of the third quarter through the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of holiday promotions that lead to increased demand for our lease-to-own offerings.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires new tabular disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement captions. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date for ASU No. 2024-03. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will be required for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently in the preliminary stages of assessing this ASU and the impact it will have on our financial statements following adoption.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. As of June 30, 2025, unless otherwise discussed (including with respect to ASU 2023-07), we believe the impact of any other recently issued standards that are not yet effective are either not applicable to us at this time, or will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is fluctuations in interest rates. Monitoring and managing this risk is a continual process carried out by our senior management. We manage our market risk based on an ongoing assessment of trends in interest rates and economic developments, giving consideration to possible effects on both total return and reported earnings. As a result of such assessment, we may enter into swap contracts or other interest rate protection agreements from time to time to mitigate this risk.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $450 million in Notes outstanding at a fixed interest rate of 6.375%. We also had $798.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and $334.0 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Facility, each at interest rates indexed to the Term SOFR rate or the prime rate. Carrying value of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Credit Facility approximates fair value for such indebtedness. Based on our overall interest rate exposure at June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in market interest rates would have the effect of causing an additional $11.3 million annualized pre-tax charge or credit to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have not entered into any interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2025.
Foreign Currency Translation
We are also exposed to market risk from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar as the financial position and operating results of our stores in Mexico are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. On January 31 2025, we acquired Brigit. We are currently in the process of integrating Brigit into our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s assessment and conclusions on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Brigit.
39

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that, in the aggregate, have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
40

PART II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Given the nature of our businesses and the heavily regulated industries in which we operate, we, along with our subsidiaries, are party to various legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries are described herein. In addition to the matters described herein, we are also party to other legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries that we believe, based on our current knowledge, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, including arbitrations, litigation, putative class actions and other matters alleging various types of claims, including those based on consumer regulatory, contract, labor and employment and other alleged claims. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, including the fact that some pending legal proceedings are at preliminary stages or seek an indeterminate amount of damages, penalties, fines or other relief, it is possible that the outcome of one or more legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
We regularly monitor developments related to our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations, determine whether a reserve is appropriate if the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, and review the adequacy of our reserves for such matters on a quarterly basis. As a result, we do not have reserves for all matters with respect to which we may or will have future liability, and no assurance can be given that our reserves, when recorded, will be adequate to cover the full amount of any loss we may ultimately incur. In addition, certain of these matters involve demands for monetary relief and changes to our business practices that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations were we to agree to them as part of a settlement or be subject to them following an adverse result in litigation.
We cannot predict the ultimate resolution of our pending legal proceedings, governmental inquiries and investigations (which include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed herein) and, therefore, are unable to estimate a range of losses related to these matters that may be reasonably possible to occur. Please see Note 12 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of certain of our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries.
