CURO Group Holdings Corp. (NYSE: CURO) (“CURO” or the “Company”), a tech-enabled, omni-channel consumer finance company serving a full spectrum of non-prime and prime consumers in the U.S. and Canada, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Highlights
- Gross Loans Receivables increased 34.8% year-over-year to $2.1 billion
- Goodwill impairment of $107.8 million in U.S. Direct Lending and $37.4 million in Canada POS Lending
“2022 was a historical year for CURO as we completed our transformation into a full spectrum consumer lender focused on longer-term, lower credit risk products,” said Doug Clark, Chief Executive Officer. “While the macroeconomic headwinds associated with rising interest rates and inflationary and recessionary pressures on the consumer have delayed our ability to recognize all of the benefits of our transformation, we strongly believe in the strength and foundation of our businesses and ability to provide long-term value and returns to our investors.”
Consolidated Summary Results
We reported Net loss of $186.4 million ($4.60 loss per share) on total revenue of $217.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared with Net loss of $28.9 million ($0.72 loss per share) on total revenue of $224.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
The $157.5 million increase in Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by a $174.9 million increase in other expense, offset by a favorable increase in benefit from income taxes of $12.1 million. The increase in other expense was primarily the result of a $107.8 million goodwill impairment charge recorded on the U.S. Direct Lending reporting unit during the quarter, a $37.4 million goodwill impairment charge recorded on the Canada POS Lending reporting unit, a $26.4 million increase in interest expense, $13.1 million of restructuring charges related to targeted U.S. and Canadian store closures and other cost saving initiatives and a $4.9 million net change in losses recognized on our equity method investment. The goodwill impairment charge on the U.S. Direct Lending Reporting unit was driven by rising interest rates, macroeconomic conditions and performance of recent acquisitions to date. The increase in interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was driven by (i) increased non-recourse asset-backed lending (ABL) borrowing to support organic loan growth and acquired portfolios, (ii) Senior Notes issued to fund in part our Q4 2021 Heights Finance acquisition, and (iii) an increase in benchmark rates on variable rate debt.
Net revenue decreased $8.3 million, or 6.4%, year over year for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by lower interest and fees revenue attributable to our strategic change in product mix and the additional provision for loan losses driven by loan growth.
Year-over-year growth in Gross loans receivable of $539.5 million, or 34.8%, was primarily driven by an increase of $374.3 million or 81.5% in Canada POS lending as Flexiti continues to increase originations, and $111.4 million or 16.8%, due to the acquisitions of Heights Finance in Q4 2021 and First Heritage in Q3 2022 and an increase of $53.8 million, or 12.6%, for Canada Direct Lending due to organic loan growth, which was partially offset by the sale of the Legacy U.S. Direct Lending business in Q3 2022.

Operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $126.0 million, a decrease of $13.6 million, or 9.7%, from $139.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily related to the divestiture of our Legacy U.S. Direct Lending business partially offset by the acquisitions of Heights Finance and First Heritage.
Funding and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2022, we had principal debt balances outstanding of $2.6 billion, which consisted of approximately 65.5% of fixed rate or hedged variable rate debt and 34.5% of variable rate debt. We had $73.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and available for general corporate purposes.
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, together with $125.6 million in unused borrowing capacity and $123.6 million of unencumbered Gross loans receivable, provides approximately $323.1 million in available capital resources.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we provide certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” including:
- Adjusted Net Income ("ANI") and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, or the Adjusted Earnings Measures (net income plus or minus certain legal and other costs, income or loss from equity method investment, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, adjustments related to acquisition accounting, share-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, gain on sale of business, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, certain tax adjustments and cumulative tax effect of applicable adjustments, on a total and per share basis); and
- Gross Combined Loans Receivable (includes loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs which are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements). As a result of the sale of the Legacy U.S. Direct Lending business, we no longer guarantee loans originated by third-party lenders through CSO programs.
We believe that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the business that, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the business.
We believe that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in the business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we believe that the adjustments shown above are useful to investors to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these income or expense items. In addition, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of public companies in our industry, many of which present non-GAAP financial measures when reporting their results.
In addition to reporting loans receivable information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide Gross Combined Loans Receivable consisting of owned loans receivable plus loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO programs, which we guaranteed but do not include in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes this analysis provides investors with important information needed to evaluate overall lending performance. As noted above, we no longer provide these guarantees to third-party lenders as a result of the sale of the Legacy U.S. Direct Lending business.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income, segment operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other liquidity measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Description and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our income or cash flows as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- they do not include cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- they do not include changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
- they do not include the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
- depreciation and amortization are non-cash expense items reported in the statements of cash flows; and
- other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share utilizing diluted shares outstanding at quarter-end. If we record a loss under U.S. GAAP, shares outstanding utilized to calculate Diluted Loss per Share are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. Shares outstanding utilized to calculate Adjusted Earnings per Share reflect the number of diluted shares we would have reported if reporting net income under U.S. GAAP. If we record an Adjusted Loss per Share, shares outstanding utilized to calculate Diluted Loss per Share are equivalent to basic shares outstanding.
We believe investors use the non-GAAP measures we present to analyze operating performance and to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and the capacity for making capital expenditures.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include projections, estimates and assumptions about various matters, such as future financial and operational performance, including our ability to provide long-term value and return to our investors, reduction in operating expenses and our belief in the usefulness of the various non-GAAP financial measures used in this release. In addition, words such as “guidance,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “forecast,” “step,” “plan,” “predict,” “focused,” “project,” “is likely,” “expect,” "anticipate," “intend,” “should,” “will,” “confident,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our ability to achieve these forward-looking statements is based on certain assumptions, judgments and other factors, both within and outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: risks relating to the uncertainty of projected financial and operational information and forecasts, including errors in our internal forecasts; our ability to manage growth; our dependence on third-party lenders to provide the cash we need to fund our loans and our ability to affordably access third-arty financing; our level of indebtedness; the effects of competition on our business; our ability to attract and retain customers; global economic, market, financial, political or health conditions or events; actions of regulators and the negative impact of those actions on our business; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; our ability to protect our proprietary technology and analytics and keep up with that of our competitors; disruption of our information technology systems that adversely affect our business operations; ineffective pricing of the credit risk of our prospective or existing customers; inaccurate information supplied by customers or third parties that could lead to errors in judging customers’ qualifications to receive loans; improper disclosure of customer personal data; failure of third parties who provide products, services or support to us; disruption to our relationships with banks and other third-party electronic payment solutions providers as well as other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These projections, estimates and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate in the future. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. There may be additional risks that we presently do not know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual future results. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify any forward-looking statement for any reason.
