Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding; share counts re-presented by an integer split ratio are listed as split adjustments, not restatements. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Business combinations · 1,434 characters as filed

- Acquisitions On June 3, 2024, the Company completed its business combination of Texas Auto Center (TAC), which includes two dealership locations in Austin and San Marcos, Texas. The total purchase price of the TAC acquisition was $13.5 million, which included $3.5 million of contingent consideration. The structure of the transaction is consistent with prior transactions whereby the Company did not acquire existing finance receivables and the seller may receive a performance-based earn-out in the future ranging from zero to a maximum of $15.0 million based on cumulative pre-tax income. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, all of which is deductible for tax purposes and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from anticipated synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Company recorded the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the TAC acquisition, which resulted in the recognition of: (1) net working capital assumed of $100,000, (2) inventory of $5.0 million, (3) gross right-of-use asset and lease liability of $7.4 million and (4) goodwill of $8.5 million. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 upon the expiration of the measurement period, with no adjustments to the amounts previously recognized. …

Fair value · 4,300 characters as filed

Fair Value Measurements Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Inputs Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Because no market exists for certain of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments and estimates regarding yield expectations of investors, credit risk and other risk characteristics, in …

New accounting pronouncements · 4,142 characters as filed

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. For entities other than PBEs, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025, and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. As of April 30, 2026, the Company adopted this new ASU retrospectively and it only impacts the Company's income tax disclosures wi …

"Subsequent Events As described in Note B (Liquidity and Going Concern), the Company's $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility under its Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Silver Point Finance, LLC, as administrative agent (see Note G), requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity covenant. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of April 30, 2026. Subsequent to April 30, 2026, the Company failed to comply with these covenants, specifically the minimum liquidity covenant and the minimum collateral coverage ratio covenant.

In connection with the waivers and the Amendment, the Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of approximately $18.0 million, which were added to the outstanding principal balance under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement. If the Company fails to satisfy these milestones or the other conditions of the Amendment, or is unable to obtain further covenant relief, waivers or financing prior to the expiration of the relief period, the le …

Fair value · 4,065 characters as filed

Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Inputs Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Because no market exists for certain of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments and estimates regarding yield expectations of investors, credit risk and other risk characteristics, including interest rate and prepayment …

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Occasionally, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies which the Company will adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes the implementation of recently issued standards which are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In October 2023, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2023-06) related to disclosure or presentation requirements for various subtopics in the FASBs Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). The amendments in the update are intended to align the requirements in the Codification with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) regulations and facilitate the application of GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment is the date on which the SEC removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or if the SEC has not removed the requirements by June 30, 2027, this amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Early adoption is prohibited. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income StatementReporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This st …
