Consumer Loan Metrics Dealers assign retail installment contracts (referred to as “Consumer Loans”) to Credit Acceptance. At the time a Consumer Loan is submitted to us for assignment, we forecast future expected cash flows from the Consumer Loan. Based on the amount and timing of these forecasts and expected expense levels, an advance or one-time purchase payment is made to the related dealer at a price designed to maximize economic profit, a non-GAAP financial measure that considers our return on capital, our cost of capital, and the amount of capital invested.  We use a statistical model to estimate the expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan at the time of assignment. We continue to evaluate the expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan subsequent to assignment. Our evaluation becomes more accurate as the Consumer Loans age, as we use actual performance data in our forecast. By comparing our current expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan with the rate we projected at the time of assignment, we are able to assess the accuracy of our initial forecast. The following table compares our aggregated forecast of Consumer Loan collection rates as of June 30, 2025, with the aggregated forecasts as of March 31, 2025 and at the time of assignment, segmented by year of assignment:   Forecasted Collection Percentage as of (1) Current Forecast Variance from Consumer Loan Assignment Year June 30, 2025 March 31, 2025 InitialForecast March 31, 2025 InitialForecast2016         63.9 %         63.9 %         65.4 %         0.0 %         -1.5 %2017         64.8 %         64.8 %         64.0 %         0.0 %         0.8 %2018         65.6 %         65.5 %         63.6 %         0.1 %         2.0 %2019         67.3 %         67.2 %         64.0 %         0.1 %         3.3 %2020         68.0 %         67.9 %         63.4 %         0.1 %         4.6 %2021         63.8 %         63.9 %         66.3 %         -0.1 %         -2.5 %2022         59.7 %         60.0 %         67.5 %         -0.3 %         -7.8 %2023         64.1 %         64.3 %         67.5 %         -0.2 %         -3.4 %2024         65.7 %         66.3 %         67.2 %         -0.6 %         -1.5 %     2025 (2)         66.9 %         66.0 %         66.9 %         0.9 %         0.0 % (1)   Represents the total forecasted collections we expect to collect on the Consumer Loans as a percentage of the repayments that we were contractually owed on the Consumer Loans at the time of assignment. Contractual repayments include both principal and interest. Forecasted collection rates are negatively impacted by canceled Consumer Loans as the contractual amount owed is not removed from the denominator for purposes of computing forecasted collection rates.(2)   The forecasted collection rate for 2025 Consumer Loans as of June 30, 2025 includes both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and Consumer Loans assigned during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates for each of these segments   Forecasted Collection Percentage as of Current Forecast Variance from2025 Consumer Loan Assignment Period June 30, 2025 March 31, 2025 Initial Forecast March 31, 2025 InitialForecastJanuary 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025         66.2 %         66.0 %         66.2 %         0.2 %         0.0 %April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025         67.7 %         —           67.7 %         —           0.0 % For the three months ended June 30, 2025, forecasted collection rates improved for Consumer Loans assigned in 2025, declined for Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024, and were generally consistent with expectations at the start of the period for all other assignment years presented. The changes to our forecast of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio (forecasted collections less forecasted dealer holdback payments) for each of the last eight quarters are shown in the following table: (Dollars in millions) Decrease in Forecasted Net Cash FlowsThree Months Ended Total Loans % Change from Forecast at Beginning of PeriodSeptember 30, 2023 $        (69.4)          -0.7 %December 31, 2023          (57.0)          -0.6 %March 31, 2024          (30.8)          -0.3 %June 30, 2024          (189.3)          -1.7 %September 30, 2024          (62.8)          -0.6 %December 31, 2024          (31.1)          -0.3 %March 31, 2025          (20.9)          -0.2 %June 30, 2025          (55.8)          -0.5 % During the second quarter of 2025, we applied an adjustment to our methodology for forecasting the amount of future net cash flows from our loan portfolio, which reduced the forecasted collection rates for Consumer Loans assigned in 2024. Consumer Loans assigned in 2024 prior to the implementation of our scorecard adjustment during the third quarter of 2024 had underperformed relative to the forecast adjustment we implemented during the second quarter of 2024. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2025, we applied an adjustment to that segment of the Consumer Loans assigned in 2024 to reduce forecasted collection rates to what we believed the ultimate collection rates would be based on these trends. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of this forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2025 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $18.6 million, or 0.2%, and increased provision for credit losses by $16.5 million.

Forecasting collection rates accurately at loan inception is difficult. With this in mind, we establish advance rates that are intended to allow us to achieve acceptable levels of profitability across our portfolio, even if collection rates are less than we initially forecast.The following table presents aggregate forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates, and spreads (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate), and the percentage of the forecasted collections that had been realized as of June 30, 2025, as well as forecasted collection rates and spreads at the time of assignment. All amounts, unless otherwise noted, are presented as a percentage of the initial balance of the Consumer Loan (principal + interest). The table includes both dealer loans and purchased loans.   Forecasted Collection % as of   Spread % as of   Consumer Loan Assignment Year June 30, 2025 Initial Forecast Advance % (1) June 30, 2025 Initial Forecast % of ForecastRealized (2)2016         63.9 %         65.4 %         43.8 %         20.1 %         21.6 %         99.6 %2017         64.8 %         64.0 %         43.2 %         21.6 %         20.8 %         99.4 %2018         65.6 %         63.6 %         43.5 %         22.1 %         20.1 %         99.0 %2019         67.3 %         64.0 %         44.0 %         23.3 %         20.0 %         98.0 %2020         68.0 %         63.4 %         43.9 %         24.1 %         19.5 %         95.1 %2021         63.8 %         66.3 %         46.0 %         17.8 %         20.3 %         88.7 %2022         59.7 %         67.5 %         47.4 %         12.3 %         20.1 %         74.7 %2023         64.1 %         67.5 %         46.2 %         17.9 %         21.3 %         55.0 %2024         65.7 %         67.2 %         45.1 %         20.6 %         22.1 %         30.4 %      2025 (3)         66.9 %         66.9 %         44.9 %         22.0 %         22.0 %         6.9 % (1)   Represents advances paid to dealers on Consumer Loans assigned under the portfolio program and one-time payments made to dealers to purchase Consumer Loans assigned under the purchase program as a percentage of the initial balance of the Consumer Loans.  Payments of dealer holdback and accelerated dealer holdback are not included.(2)   Presented as a percentage of total forecasted collections(3)   The forecasted collection rate, advance rate and spread for 2025 Consumer Loans as of June 30, 2025 include both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and Consumer Loans assigned during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates, advance rates, and spreads for each of these segments:   Forecasted Collection % as of   Spread % as of2025 Consumer Loan Assignment Period June 30, 2025 Initial Forecast Advance % June 30, 2025 Initial ForecastJanuary 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025         66.2 %         66.2 %         44.2 %         22.0 %         22.0 %April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025         67.7 %         67.7 %         45.7 %         22.0 %         22.0 % The risk of a material change in our forecasted collection rate declines as the Consumer Loans age. For 2020 and prior Consumer Loan assignments, the risk of a material forecast variance is modest, as we have currently realized in excess of 90% of the expected collections. Conversely, the forecasted collection rates for more recent Consumer Loan assignments are less certain as a significant portion of our forecast has not been realized. The spread between the forecasted collection rate as of June 30, 2025 and the advance rate ranges from 12.3% to 24.1%, on an annual basis, for Consumer Loans assigned over the last 10 years. The spreads with respect to 2019 and 2020 Consumer Loans have been positively impacted by Consumer Loan performance, which has exceeded our initial estimates by a greater margin than the other years presented. The spreads with respect to 2021 through 2024 Consumer Loans have been negatively impacted by Consumer Loan performance, which has been lower than our initial estimates by a greater margin than the other years presented. The higher spread for 2025 Consumer Loans relative to 2024 Consumer Loans as of June 30, 2025 was primarily a result of Consumer Loan performance, as the performance of 2024 Consumer Loans has been lower than our initial estimates.

Although the advance rate on purchased loans is higher as compared to the advance rate on dealer loans, purchased loans do not require us to pay dealer holdback. The spread as of June 30, 2025 on 2025 dealer loans was 22.3%, as compared to a spread of 20.4% on 2024 dealer loans. The increase was primarily a result of Consumer Loan performance, as the performance of 2024 dealer loans has been lower than our initial estimates. The spread as of June 30, 2025 on 2025 purchased loans was 21.2%, as compared to a spread of 21.1% on 2024 purchased loans, reflecting the net impact of two offsetting factors. Consumer Loan performance increased the spread from 2024 to 2025, as the performance of 2024 purchased loans has been lower than our initial estimates. This impact of Consumer Loan performance was partially offset by the impact of a lower initial spread on 2025 purchased loans, due to the advance rate increasing by a greater margin than the initial forecast in our purchased loan portfolio. Consumer Loan Volume The following table summarizes changes in Consumer Loan assignment volume in each of the last eight quarters as compared to the same period in the previous year:   Year over Year Percent ChangeThree Months Ended Unit Volume Dollar Volume (1)September 30, 2023         13.0 %         10.5 %December 31, 2023         26.7 %         21.3 %March 31, 2024         24.1 %         20.2 %June 30, 2024         20.9 %         16.3 %September 30, 2024         17.7 %         12.2 %December 31, 2024         0.3 %         -4.9 %March 31, 2025         -10.1 %         -15.5 %June 30, 2025         -14.6 %         -18.8 % (1)   Represents advances paid to dealers on Consumer Loans assigned under the portfolio program and one-time payments made to dealers to purchase Consumer Loans assigned under the purchase program.  Payments of dealer holdback and accelerated dealer holdback are not included. Consumer Loan assignment volumes depend on a number of factors including (1) the overall demand for our financing programs and (2) the amount of capital available to fund new loans. Our pricing strategy is intended to maximize the amount of economic profit we generate, within the confines of capital constraints. Unit and dollar volumes declined 14.6% and 18.8%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2025 as the number of active dealers declined 0.8% and the average unit volume per active dealer declined 14.0%. Dollar volume declined by more than unit volume during the second quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in the average advance paid, primarily resulting from a decrease in the average size of Consumer Loans assigned. Unit volume for the 28-day period ended July 28, 2025 decreased 19.4% compared to the same period in 2024.

As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net dealer loans receivable balance was 72.3% of the total net loans receivable balance. In 2025, we expanded dealer access to the purchase program for Consumer Loans to consumers with higher credit ratings. The increase in the percentage of purchased loans in 2025 Consumer Loan assignment volume was primarily related to Consumer Loans assigned under this expanded dealer access.

The implementation of the forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2025 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $18.6 million, or 0.2%, and increased provision for credit losses by $16.5 million, whereas the implementation of the forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2024 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%, and increased our provision for credit losses by $127.5 million.A decrease in provision for credit losses on new Consumer Loan assignments of $11.5 million, primarily due to a 14.6% decrease in Consumer Loan assignment unit volume. An increase in finance charges of 8.6% ($43.0 million), primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio.A loss on sale of a building of $23.7 million recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024.An increase in interest expense of 13.0% ($13.6 million), primarily due to an increase in our average outstanding debt balance, primarily due to borrowings used to fund the growth of our loan portfolio and stock repurchases.An increase in operating expenses of 25.0% ($31.1 million), primarily due to: An increase in general and administrative expense of 94.8% ($22.0 million), primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, which included the recognition of a $23.4 million contingent loss during the second quarter of 2025 related to previously disclosed legal matters.An increase in salaries and wages expense of 10.4% ($7.9 million), primarily due to increases in (i) the number of team members, as we are investing in our business with the goal of increasing the speed at which we enhance our product for dealers and consumers, and (ii) stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to equity awards granted to our executive officers and senior leaders. An increase in provision for income taxes of 470.7% ($38.6 million), primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income. Adjusted financial results are provided to help shareholders understand our financial performance. The financial data below is non-GAAP, unless labeled otherwise. We use adjusted financial information internally to measure financial performance and to determine certain incentive compensation. We also use economic profit as a framework to evaluate business decisions and strategies, with the objective to maximize economic profit over the long term. In addition, certain debt facilities utilize adjusted financial information for the determination of loan collateral values and to measure financial covenants. The table below shows our results following adjustments to reflect non-GAAP accounting methods. Material adjustments are explained in the table footnotes and the subsequent “Floating Yield Adjustment” and “Senior Notes Adjustment” sections. Measures such as adjusted average capital, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted interest expense (after-tax), adjusted net income plus adjusted interest expense (after-tax), adjusted return on capital, adjusted revenue, operating expenses, adjusted loans receivable, adjusted finance charges, adjusted average loans receivable, economic profit, and economic profit per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, include the following: (Dollars in millions, except per share data)For the Three Months Ended June 30,    2025   2024  % ChangeAdjusted average capital$        8,932.7   $        8,033.3           11.2 %Adjusted net income$        100.8   $        126.4           -20.3 %Adjusted interest expense (after-tax)$        88.6   $        80.5           10.1 %Adjusted net income plus adjusted interest expense (after-tax)$        189.4   $        206.9           -8.5 %Adjusted return on capital         8.5 %          10.3 %         -17.5 %Cost of capital         7.4 %          7.5 %         -1.3 %Economic profit$        24.4   $        56.2           -56.6 %Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 11,771,525    12,282,174           -4.2 %Adjusted net income per diluted share$        8.56   $        10.29           -16.8 %Economic profit per diluted share$        2.07   $        4.58           -54.8 % Economic profit decreased 56.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. Economic profit is a function of the return on capital in excess of the cost of capital and the amount of capital invested in the business. The following table summarizes the impact each of these components had on the changes in economic profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024: (In millions)Year over Year Change in Economic Profit For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Decrease in adjusted return on capital$        (40.6) Decrease in cost of capital         2.5  Increase in adjusted average capital         6.3  Decrease in economic profit$        (31.8)  The decrease in economic profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily a result of the following: A decrease in our adjusted return on capital of 180 basis points, primarily due to: A decrease in the yield used to recognize adjusted finance charges on our loan portfolio decreased our adjusted return on capital by 100 basis points, primarily due to both a decline in forecasted collection rates and slower forecasted net cash flow timing throughout 2024 and 2025. The slower forecasted net cash flow timing was primarily due to lower-than-expected Consumer Loan prepayments, which remain below historical averages.An increase in operating expenses decreased our adjusted return on capital by 60 basis points as operating expenses increased by 25.0% while adjusted average capital increased by 11.2%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, which included the recognition of a $23.4 million contingent loss during the second quarter of 2025 related to previously disclosed legal matters.An increase in our estimated long-term effective income tax rate decreased our adjusted return on capital by 20 basis points as the rate increased from 23% to 25% for the second quarter of 2025 and future periods. The increase in our long-term estimate was due to higher state and local income taxes in certain jurisdictions and lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. An increase in adjusted average capital of 11.2%, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio. The following table shows adjusted revenue and operating expenses as a percentage of adjusted average capital, the adjusted return on capital, and the percentage change in adjusted average capital for each of the last eight quarters, compared to the same period in the prior year:   For the Three Months Ended  Jun. 30, 2025 Mar. 31, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024 Sept. 30, 2024 Jun. 30, 2024 Mar. 31, 2024 Dec. 31, 2023 Sept. 30, 2023Adjusted finance charges as a percentage of adjusted average loans receivable (1)         17.0 %         16.7 %         16.5 %         16.4 %         17.8 %         17.6 %         17.9 %         18.5 %Adjusted revenue as a percentage of adjusted average capital (1)         18.3 %         18.0 %         18.4 %         18.2 %         19.6 %         19.8 %         20.2 %         20.7 %Operating expenses as a percentage of adjusted average capital (1)         7.0 %         6.1 %         5.6 %         6.2 %         6.2 %         6.7 %         6.3 %         6.3 %Adjusted return on capital (1)         8.5 %         9.2 %         9.8 %         9.3 %         10.3 %         10.1 %         10.6 %         11.1 %Percentage change in adjusted average capital compared to the same period in the prior year         11.2 %         18.3 %         19.3 %         19.4 %         17.6 %         14.6 %         11.5 %         8.8 % (1)   Annualized. The decrease in adjusted return on capital for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to faster growth in operating expenses, which decreased the adjusted return on capital by 70 basis points, as operating expenses increased by 14.8% while adjusted average capital grew 0.6%. The $20.0 million increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, which included the recognition of a $23.4 million contingent loss during the second quarter of 2025 related to previously disclosed legal matters. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the yield used to recognize adjusted finance charges on our loan portfolio, which increased our adjusted return on capital by 40 basis points, due to higher yields on more recent Consumer Loan assignments, partially offset by a decline in Consumer Loan performance in the first and second quarters of 2025.

one of our two office buildings in June 2024 resulted in a loss on the sale of the asset. As this transaction is both unusual and infrequent in nature, we applied this adjustment to remove the impact of the loss on sale of building from our adjusted net income.(2)   Adjustment to record taxes at our estimated long-term effective income tax rate. The adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is calculated using a 25% income tax rate, which is expected to be used for the remainder of 2025 and future periods. This rate represents an increase from 23%, which had been used to calculate after-tax adjustments since 2018, following the enactment in December 2017 of Public Law 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”). The increase in our long-term estimate was due to higher state and local income taxes in certain jurisdictions and lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.(3)   Net income per diluted share is computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of quarterly net income per diluted share information may not equal year-to-date net income per diluted share.(4)   The enactment of the 2017 Tax Act resulted in the reversal of provision for income taxes to reflect a new, lower federal statutory income tax rate. We began applying the income tax adjustment at that time to remove the impact of this reversal from adjusted average capital. As the enactment of Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025 made the lower federal statutory tax rate permanent, removing uncertainty on the future federal statutory income tax rate, we increased our estimated long-term effective income tax rate from 23% to 25% to reflect higher expected state and local income taxes in certain jurisdictions and lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in future periods. We believe the income tax adjustment provides a more accurate reflection of the performance of our business as we are recognizing provision for income taxes at the applicable long-term effective tax rate for the period.(5)   Annualized.

The adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is calculated using a 25% income tax rate, which is expected to be used for the remainder of 2025 and future periods. This rate represents an increase from 23%, which had been used to calculate after-tax adjustments since 2018, following the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act. The increase in our long-term estimate was due to higher state and local income taxes in certain jurisdictions and lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.(2)   Adjusted return on capital is defined as adjusted net income plus adjusted interest expense (after-tax) divided by adjusted average capital.(3)        Calculated by dividing GAAP net income (loss) by GAAP average shareholders' equity. (4)   The cost of capital includes both a cost of equity and a cost of debt.  The cost of equity capital is determined based on a formula that considers the risk of the business and the risk associated with our use of debt.  The formula utilized for determining the cost of equity capital is as follows: (the average 30-year Treasury rate + 5%) + [(1 – tax rate) x (the average 30-year Treasury rate + 5% – pre-tax average cost of debt rate) x average debt/(average equity + average debt x tax rate)].  For the periods presented, the average 30-year Treasury rate and the adjusted pre-tax average cost of debt were as follows:   For the Three Months Ended  Jun. 30, 2025 Mar. 31, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024 Sept. 30, 2024 Jun. 30, 2024 Mar. 31, 2024 Dec. 31, 2023 Sept. 30, 2023Average 30-year Treasury rate         4.8 %         4.7 %         4.4 %         4.3 %         4.6 %        4.3 %         4.7 %         4.2 %Pre-tax average cost of debt (5)         7.2 %         7.2 %         7.2 %         7.3 %         7.2 %         7.0 %         6.3 %         5.9 % (5)   Annualized.(6)   Economic profit per diluted share is computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of quarterly economic profit per diluted share information may not equal year-to-date economic profit per diluted share. Floating Yield Adjustment The net loan income (finance charge revenue less provision for credit losses expense) that we recognize over the life of a loan equals the cash we collect from the underlying Consumer Loan less the cash we pay to the dealer. We believe the economics of our business are best exhibited by recognizing loan revenue on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan based on expected future net cash flows. The purpose of this non-GAAP adjustment is to provide insight into our business by showing this level yield measure of income. Under GAAP, contractual amounts due in excess of the loan receivable balance at the time of assignment will be reflected as interest income, while contractual amounts due that are not expected to be collected are reflected in the provision for credit losses. Our non-GAAP floating yield adjustment recognizes the net effects of contractual interest income and expected credit losses in a single measure of finance charge revenue, consistent with how we manage our business. The floating yield adjustment recognizes revenue on a level-yield basis based upon expected future net cash flows, with any changes in expected future net cash flows, which are recognized immediately under GAAP as provision for credit losses, recognized over the remaining forecast period (up to 120 months after the origination date of the underlying Consumer Loans) for each individual dealer loan and purchased loan. The floating yield adjustment does not accelerate revenue recognition. Rather, it reduces revenue by taking amounts that are reported under GAAP as provision for credit losses and instead treating them as reductions of revenue over time. Under the GAAP methodology we employ, which is known as the current expected credit loss model, or CECL, we are required to recognize: a significant provision for credit losses expense at the time of the loan’s assignment to us for contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize; andfinance charge revenue in subsequent periods that is significantly in excess of our expected yield. Due to the GAAP treatment of contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize at the time of loan assignment (i.e. significant expense at the time of loan assignment, which is offset by higher revenue in subsequent periods), we do not believe the GAAP methodology we employ provides sufficient transparency into the economics of our business, including our results of operations, financial condition, and financial leverage. Our floating yield adjustment enables us to provide measures of income that are not impacted by GAAP’s treatment of contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize at the time of loan assignment. We believe the floating yield adjustment is presented in a manner which reflects both the economic reality of our business and how the business is managed and provides valuable supplemental information to help investors better understand our business, executive compensation, liquidity, and capital resources. Senior Notes Adjustment (applied in periods prior to December 31, 2023) This non-GAAP adjustment modifies our GAAP financial results to treat the issuance of certain senior notes as a refinancing of certain previously issued senior notes. Our historical adjusted financial information reflects application of the senior notes adjustment as described below in connection with (i) the issuance by us in 2014 of $300.0 million principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 senior notes”) and the related retirement of our 9.125% senior notes due 2017 (the “2017 senior notes”) and (ii) the issuance by us in 2019 of $400.0 million principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 senior notes”) and the related retirement of the 2021 senior notes and our 7.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 senior notes”). We issued the 2024 senior notes on December 18, 2019. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2024 senior notes to repurchase or redeem all of the $300.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2021 senior notes, of which $148.2 million was repurchased on December 18, 2019 and the remaining $151.8 million was redeemed on January 17, 2020. We used the remaining net proceeds from the 2024 senior notes, together with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to redeem in full the $250.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2023 senior notes on March 15, 2020. Under GAAP, the fourth quarter of 2019 included (i) a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million related to the repurchase of 2021 senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the redemption of the remaining 2021 senior notes in the first quarter of 2020 and (ii) additional interest expense of $0.3 million on $160.0 million of additional outstanding debt caused by the one month lag from the issuance of the 2024 senior notes and repurchase of 2021 senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2019 to the redemption of the remaining 2021 senior notes in the first quarter of 2020. Under GAAP, the first quarter of 2020 included (i) a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.4 million related to the redemption of 2023 senior notes in the first quarter of 2020 and (ii) additional interest expense of $0.4 million on $160.0 million of additional outstanding debt caused by the one month lag from the issuance of the 2024 senior notes and repurchase of 2021 senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2019 to the redemption of the remaining 2021 senior notes in the first quarter of 2020. We issued the 2021 senior notes on January 22, 2014. On February 21, 2014, we used the net proceeds from the 2021 senior notes, together with borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, to redeem in full the $350.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2017 senior notes. Under GAAP, the first quarter of 2014 included (i) a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $21.8 million related to the redemption of the 2017 senior notes in the first quarter of 2014 and (ii) additional interest expense of $1.4 million on $276.0 million of additional outstanding debt caused by the one month lag from the issuance of the 2021 senior notes to the redemption of the 2017 senior notes. Under our non-GAAP approach, the loss on extinguishment of debt and additional interest expense that were recognized for GAAP purposes were in each case deferred as debt issuance costs to be recognized ratably as interest expense over the term of the newly issued notes. In addition, for adjusted average capital purposes, the impact of additional outstanding debt related to the lag from the issuance of the new notes to the redemption of the previously issued notes was in each case deferred to be recognized ratably over the term of the newly issued notes. Upon the issuance of the 2024 senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2019, the outstanding unamortized balances of the non-GAAP adjustments related to the 2021 senior notes were deferred and were recognized ratably over the term of the 2024 senior notes, until the repurchase and redemption of the 2024 senior notes in December 2023. We believe the application of the senior notes adjustment as described above provides a more accurate reflection of the performance of our business, since we were recognizing the costs incurred with these transactions in a manner consistent with how we recognize the costs incurred when we periodically refinance our other debt facilities. We have determined not to apply the senior notes adjustments in connection with (i) the issuance by us in December 2023 of our 9.250% senior notes due 2028 and the related retirement of the 2024 senior notes or (ii) the issuance by us in February 2025 of our 6.625% senior notes due 2030 and the related retirement of the 2026 senior notes, because the adjustments would not be material.

Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing. Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.
