Enova International, Inc. Commitments Disclosure
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees of Consumer Loans
In connection with its CSO program, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for consumer loans and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of
consumer loans guaranteed by the Company had an estimated fair value of $26.1 million and $28.4 million, respectively, and an outstanding principal balance of $18.7 million and $19.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of consumer loans, including principal, fees and interest, guaranteed by the Company were $22.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively. These loans are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company does not own the loans prior to default.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
On November 15, 2023, the Company consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which the Company agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions, to pay a civil money penalty of $15.0 million. The civil money penalty is included in “General and Administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Consent Order related to issues, the majority of which were self-disclosed, including payment processing and debiting errors. Effective August 29, 2025, the CFPB terminated the Consent Order in full and waived any alleged non-compliance therewith.
Litigation
On April 23, 2018, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through Attorney General Mark R. Herring, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for the County of Fairfax, Virginia against NC Financial Solutions of Utah, LLC (“NC Utah”), a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit alleged violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act relating to NC Utah’s communications with customers, collections of certain payments, its loan agreements, and the rates it charged to Virginia borrowers. The plaintiff sought to enjoin NC Utah from continuing its lending practices in Virginia, restitution, civil penalties, and costs and expenses in connection with the same. In January 2026, the parties entered into a Consent Decree to resolve the matter. Under the Consent Decree, NC Utah denied the allegations contained in the complaint and agreed to a payment of $3.4 million, comprised of $3.1 million in customer restitution, $0.2 million in fees and costs, and $0.1 million in administration expenses. Additionally, NC Utah agreed to modify certain outstanding loans at reduced interest rates and forgive approximately $87.0 million of previously charged-off receivables. As the payment of $3.4 million had been accrued in prior years and the forgiven loans charged off in prior years, there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company is also involved in certain routine legal proceedings, claims and litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance or by indemnification agreements with third parties. The Company has recorded accruals in its consolidated financial statements for those matters in which it is probable that it has incurred a loss and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
