•
|
Declines in rental revenue due to the aforementioned product shift at a significant retail partner that resulted in the suspension of new account originations with us for both our installment lending product as well as our rent-to-own product, and for which rental sales volumes are expected to continue to decline as we plan to significantly limit new originations in 2016;
|
•
|
Reductions in fees on credit products, principally associated with the net liquidations of credit card receivables in the U.K.;
|
•
|
Recoveries of $4.4 million on investments in consumer finance technology platforms in excess of their carrying value in our "Other" category in 2014 with no corresponding recovery in 2015;
|
•
|
The effects of changes in the fair values of credit card receivables recorded at fair value and notes payable associated with structured financings recorded at fair value as described below; and
|
•
|
The above declines were partially offset by the resolution of an outstanding dispute that resulted in the recovery of approximately $2.0 million associated with a receivable that was fully reserved in a prior period.
|
•
|
card and loan servicing expenses that were lower in 2015 based on lower originations for our rent-to-own products when compared to the same periods in 2014 as well as continued net liquidations in our credit card portfolios which declined from $93.9 million outstanding to $53.8 million outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively;
|
•
|
slight decreases in marketing costs for the year as our new product offerings require less direct-to-consumer marketing expenses than under our historical credit card operations coupled with reduced originations in these programs as discussed above, offset by expansions we have recently made in our marketing efforts that have resulted in increased marketing costs and are expected to result in increases in period over period costs for 2016;
|
•
|
decreased depreciation primarily associated with declines in originations under our rent-to-own program, totaling
$38.6 million
and
$63.1 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2015
and 2014, respectively, as well as
|
•
|
decreases in other expenses due to a £3.0 million ($4.7 million) accrual in 2014 related to a provision associated with a review in the U.K. by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") associated with filings by one of our U.K. subsidiaries to reclaim VAT that it paid on its inputs and that it believed were and are eligible to be reclaimed with an additional £0.4 million ($0.6 million) accrual in 2015. In February of 2016, we received correspondence from HMRC stating that it (1) had chosen to discontinue its review of our U.K. subsidiary’s VAT filings with no changes to the returns as filed by our U.K. subsidiary, and (2) would be refunding VAT refund claims made by our U.K. subsidiary that had been suspended during the HMRC review. As of the date of this report, we have received substantially all of such refunds, and we will be reversing in the first quarter of 2016 the
£3.4 million
(
$5.0 million
) of VAT review-related liabilities that we had accrued on our December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet.
|
•
|
general increases in other expenses including customer acquisition, underwriting costs and third party costs associated with ongoing information technology upgrades; and
|
•
|
slightly higher 2015 salaries and benefits costs resulting from growth in our new credit product offerings.

During the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2015
, we
generated
$0.9 million
of cash flows from operations compared to the
use of
$20.7 million
of cash flows from operations during the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2014
. The decrease in use was principally related to 1) reductions in purchases of rental merchandise associated with our point-of-sale finance operations, 2) cost reductions we implemented throughout 2014, 3) collections associated with reimbursements received in respect of one of our portfolios, and 4) the receipt of approximately $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 as a result of the resolution of an outstanding dispute. These decreases in cash used were offset by decreases in collections associated with our credit card finance charge receivables in the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2015
relative to the same period in 2014, given diminished receivables levels.

During the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2015
, we
generated
$14.5 million
of cash from our investing activities, compared to
generating
$29.2 million
of cash from investing activities during the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2014
. This decrease is primarily due to increasing levels of investments in our point-of-sale and direct-to-consumer assets relative to the same period in 2014 and the shrinking size of our liquidating credit card portfolios and corresponding payments from customers. Offsetting these declines are the subsequent cash returns on our increasing investments in point-of-sale and direct to consumer receivables as well as reductions in our restricted cash levels, both of which contributed positively to our cash generated from investing activities.

•
|
During the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2015
, we
used
$3.6 million
of cash in financing activities, compared to our
use of
$18.4 million
of cash in financing activities during the
twelve months
ended
December 31, 2014
. In both periods, the data reflect net repayments of debt facilities corresponding with net declines in our loans and fees receivable that serve as the underlying collateral for the facilities (principally credit card and auto loans and fees receivable). Offsetting our use of cash in financing activities for both years are borrowings associated with our new credit products, net of repayments on those facilities.

For cash, deposits and other short-term investments (including our investments in rental merchandise), the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
|
(2)
|
We do not provide fair value for this portion of our loans and fees receivable, net because it is not practicable to do so. These loans and fees receivable consist of a variety of receivables that are largely start-up in nature and for which we have neither sufficient history nor a comparable peer group from which we can calculate fair value.
