1.  Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation, primarily owned by Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”).

Following a series of restructuring transactions completed on October 9, 2013, in connection with the initial public offering of common stock of SHI, all of the common stock of Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”) is owned by SHI. On October 21, 2013, SHI completed the initial public offering of its common stock. At June 30, 2014, the Initial Stockholder owned approximately 75% of SHI’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) and AIG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”).

SHI is a financial services holding company whose principal subsidiary is SFI. SFI’s principal subsidiary is Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”), a financial services holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the consumer finance and credit insurance businesses.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SHI, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain subsidiaries associated with a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.

We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting.

In connection with SHI’s initial public offering of its common stock previously discussed, SFI became a wholly owned subsidiary of SHI. As a result, the financial statements of SFI have been adjusted on a retrospective basis, as appropriate, as financial statements of SHI.

Prior Period Revisions

As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these

corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous applicable quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.

See Note 17 for further information on the prior period revisions. The financial data for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was previously presented in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2013 related to our initial public offering of our common stock (the “Prospectus”). The financial data for the three months ended June 30, 2013 has not been previously reported.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, we identified that the disclosure of the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2013, was previously incorrectly overstated by $26.8 million. The parenthetical disclosure of the allowance of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related VIE disclosures in Notes 3 and 8 have been revised in this report to $153.7 million.

During the first quarter of 2014, we also discovered that our long-term debt associated with securitizations that were issued at a discount and which had embedded derivatives, was incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosure of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis. The affected fair value amount has been corrected in Note 18 in this report to include the fair value of our long-term debt measured on a recurring basis of $363.7 million at December 31, 2013.

During the second quarter of 2014, we discovered that we incorrectly disclosed the carrying values at the date of sale of the real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization and certain additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014. The affected carrying values have been corrected in Notes 1, 3, and 4 in this report as follows: (i) the carrying value of real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization that were sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $742.0 million but has been corrected to be $724.9 million and (ii) the carrying value of additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $93.3 million but has been corrected to be $89.9 million.

After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections (individually and in the aggregate), management has determined that our previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.

Fortress Acquisition

Due to the significance of the ownership interest acquired by FCFI Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Fortress, (the “Fortress Acquisition”), the nature of the transaction, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SFI as an acquired business. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the Fortress Acquisition, November 30, 2010, in accordance with business combination accounting standards (“push-down accounting”).

SIGNIFICANT 2014 TRANSACTIONS

Sale of 2010-1 Retained Certificates

On March 30, 2010, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $716.9 million of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2010-1 (the “2010-1 Trust”). We initially retained $285.8 million of the 2010-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2010-1 Retained Certificates”).

Table of Contents

On June 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.

We completed the sale of the 2010-1 Retained Certificates on June 30, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $444.4 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.

Sale of 2009-1 Retained Certificates

On July 30, 2009, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $1.2 billion of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1 (the “2009-1 Trust”). We initially retained $786.3 million of the 2009-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2009-1 Retained Certificates”).

On March 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.

We completed the sale of the 2009-1 Retained Certificates on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $724.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.

Sale of Real Estate Loans

On March 7, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain closing conditions, certain performing and non-performing real estate loans. We completed this sale on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $89.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). On March 1, 2014, these loans were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED

Income Taxes

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”), ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs — that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which redefines when the disposal of a component of entity or a group of assets is required to be reported in discontinued operations. The ASU requires a reporting entity to report disposals of components of an entity or a group of assets in discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, but can be early adopted.

Revenue from Contracts

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Many of our revenue sources are not within the scope of this new standard and we are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Share-based Payments

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which clarifies that performance targets within share-based payment awards that can be met after the requisite service period should be considered performance conditions that affect vesting. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTIONS

We made certain policy elections with regard to the issuance of long-term debt related to the 2014-A securitization and have updated our long-term debt policy previously disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect these elections. The updated long-term debt policy is presented below:

12

Table of Contents

Long-term Debt

We generally report our long-term debt issuances at the face value of the debt instrument, which we adjust for any unaccreted discount or unamortized premium associated with the debt. We make policy elections on a security by security basis with regard to the methodology used to accrete discounts and premiums. Other than securitized products, we generally accrete discounts and premiums over the contractual life of the security using contractual payment terms. With respect to securitized products, we have historically elected to use estimated prepayment patterns adjusted for changes in estimate over the estimated life of the debt. However, in certain circumstances, including our policy election for the 2014-A securitization, we elect to amortize deferred items over the contractual life of the security. Under either treatment, such accretion is recorded to interest expense. Additionally, we generally accrete other deferred amounts (e.g. issuance costs) following the same method elected on the associated unaccreted discount or premium.

2.  Finance Receivables

Our finance receivable types include personal loans, SpringCastle Portfolio, real estate loans, and retail sales finance as defined below:

·                  Personal loans — are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, generally have maximum original terms of four years, and are usually fixed-rate, fixed-term loans. At June 30, 2014, $1.5 billion of personal loans, or 45%, were secured by collateral consisting of titled personal property (such as automobiles), $1.3 billion, or 39%, were secured by consumer household goods or other items of personal property, and the remainder was unsecured.

·                  SpringCastle Portfolio — are loans jointly acquired from HSBC Finance Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “HSBC”) on April 1, 2013 through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. These loans include unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). The SpringCastle Portfolio includes both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans.

·                  Real estate loans — are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, generally have maximum original terms of 360 months, and are usually considered non-conforming. Real estate loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are primarily fixed-rate products.

·                  Retail sales finance — includes retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. Retail sales contracts are closed-end accounts that represent a single purchase transaction. Revolving retail accounts are open-end accounts that can be used for financing repeated purchases from the same merchant. Retail sales contracts are secured by the personal property designated in the contract and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months. Revolving retail accounts are secured by the goods purchased and generally require minimum monthly payments based on the amount financed calculated after the most recent purchase or outstanding balances. In January 2013, we ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts.
