Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories: •Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 — Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. •Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value The tables below present our financial assets and liabilities that were not measured at fair value:

Based primarily on the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable and other debt, we estimate that their carrying value approximates fair value. We consider our cash and cash equivalents to be measured using Level 1 inputs and our pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable and other debt to be measured using Level 3 inputs. Significant increases or decreases in the underlying assumptions used to value pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable, consumer loans, fees and interest receivable and other debt could significantly increase or decrease these fair value estimates. Included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities“ in our Consolidated Balance Sheets is $4.6 million which represents the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration as discussed in Note 3: Acquisitions. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration are estimated by management, not observable in the market and, therefore considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. In September 2020, we received the final payment from AlphaCredit on the notes receivable related to the sale of Grupo Finmart and recorded the amount under “Restricted cash” in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In August 2019, AlphaCredit notified us of an indemnity claim for certain pre-closing taxes, but the nature, extent and validity of such claim has yet to be determined. The inputs used to generate the fair value of the investment in Cash Converters were considered Level 1 inputs. These inputs consist of (a) the quoted stock price on the Australian Stock Exchange multiplied by (b) the number of shares we owned multiplied by (c) the applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of the end of our reporting period. We included no control premium for owning a large percentage of outstanding shares. We use the equity method of accounting for our 13.14% ownership in a previously consolidated variable interest entity, RDC, over which we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect its economic performance. We believe its fair value approximates carrying value although such fair value is highly variable and includes significant unobservable inputs. We measured the fair value of the 2024 and 2025 Convertible Notes using quoted price inputs. The notes are not actively traded, and thus the price inputs represent a Level 2 measurement. As the quoted price inputs are highly variable from day to day, the fair value estimates disclosed above could significantly increase or decrease. In March 2019, we received $1.1 million in previously escrowed seller funds as a result of settling certain indemnification claims with the seller of GPMX. In April 2019, we loaned the $1.1 million back to the seller of GPMX in exchange for a promissory note. The note bears interest at the rate of 2.89% per annum and is secured by certain marketable securities owned by the seller and held in a U.S. brokerage account. All principal and accrued interest is due and payable in April 2024. The principal amount of the note approximated its carrying value as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
