NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report").
Reclassification of Prior Period Cash Flows Presentation
The line item in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for changes during a period in amounts "due to customers" was previously presented in cash flows from operating activities, and has been corrected for the periods presented in this report (including the prior year period) to be presented in cash flows from financing activities. This correction has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated net income, total assets (including cash and cash equivalents), liabilities, and equity, and while the correction has a corresponding impact on the amounts of cash flows from operating and financing activities, it has no impact on the net increase or decrease in cash for previously reported periods. The Company has concluded that the correction was not material from a combined quantitative and qualitative perspective to its previously issued interim financial statements for 2022, or its previously issued financial statements for 2021, 2020, and 2019.

(a) During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company acquired $ 1.6 million (par value), $ 34.7 million (par value), $ 10.8 million (par value), and $ 88.7 million (par value), respectively, of federally insured rehabilitation loans that met the definition of purchased loans with credit deterioration ("PCD loans") when they were purchased by the Company.
The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses for its federally insured loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the amortization of the portfolio and an increase in expected prepayments as a result of an initiative offered by the Department of Education (the “Department”) for Federal Family Education Loan Program ("FFELP" or "FFEL Program") borrowers to consolidate their loans into Federal Direct Loan Program loans with the Department by October 31, 2022 to qualify for loan forgiveness under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses on its consumer loan portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of loans acquired during the period.
11
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses for its federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loan portfolios for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to management's estimate of worsening economic conditions as of June 30, 2022 in comparison to management's estimate of economic conditions used to determine the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company recorded provision for loan losses on its consumer and other loan portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of loans acquired during the period. The provision for loan losses recognized by the Company for its federally insured loan portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was partially offset due to the continued amortization of the portfolio and an increase in the estimate of prepayments as of June 30, 2022 in comparison to management's estimate used to determine the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2022.
Unfunded Private Education Loan Commitments
As of June 30, 2022, Nelnet Bank has a liability of approximately $ 36,000 related to $ 3.0 million of unfunded private education loan commitments. The liability for unfunded loan commitments is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Nelnet Bank recognized provision for loan losses of approximately $ 24,000 related to unfunded loan commitments.
Key Credit Quality Indicators
Loan Status and Delinquencies
Key credit quality indicators for the Company's federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loan portfolios are loan status, including delinquencies. The impact of changes in loan status is incorporated into the allowance for loan losses calculation. Delinquencies have the potential to adversely impact the Company’s earnings through increased servicing and collection costs and account charge-offs. The table below shows the Company’s loan status and delinquency amounts.

(a) As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate fair value of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses was $ 1.1 billion. The Company currently has the intent and ability to retain these investments, and none of the unrealized losses were due to credit losses.
(b) As of June 30, 2022, $ 393.4 million (par value) of FFELP loan asset-backed securities were subject to participation interests held by Union Bank, as discussed in note 3 under "Participation Agreement."
(c) The Company's private education loan asset-backed securities portfolio is subject to repurchase agreements with third parties, as discussed in note 3 under “Repurchase Agreements.”
(d) On February 25, 2022, the Company contributed $ 34.7 million of additional equity to ALLO Holdings LLC, a holding company for ALLO Communications LLC (collectively referred to as "ALLO"). As a result of this equity contribution, the Company's voting membership interests percentage in ALLO did not materially change.
The Company accounts for its voting membership interests in ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV") method of accounting. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $ 16.9 million and income of $ 1.1 million, respectively, under the HLBV method of accounting on its ALLO
20
voting membership interests investment, and during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $ 30.1 million and $ 21.1 million, respectively. Income and losses from the Company's investment in ALLO are included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company revised its accounting policy to correct for an error in its method of applying the HLBV method of accounting for its investment in ALLO. Prior to the second quarter of 2021, the Company calculated Nelnet’s liquidation basis in ALLO under the HLBV method by using Nelnet’s proportionate share of tax losses and amortizing any basis difference using tax methods. The Company determined that Nelnet’s liquidation basis in ALLO under the HLBV method should equal ALLO’s GAAP losses and amortization of any basis difference should use book lives. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment to reflect the cumulative net impact on prior periods (since the deconsolidation of ALLO on December 21, 2020) for the correction of this error that resulted in a $ 14.0 million increase to the Company’s ALLO investment balance and a corresponding pre-tax increase to other income. The Company concluded this error had an immaterial impact on 2021 results as well as the results for prior periods.
(e) As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding preferred membership interests and accrued and unpaid preferred return of ALLO held by the Company was $ 137.3 million and $ 4.3 million, respectively. The preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company earn a preferred annual return of 6.25 percent. The Company recognized pre-tax income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $ 2.1 million and $ 2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $ 4.3 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. This income is included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income.
(f) The Company has partial ownership in certain private education, consumer, and federally insured student loan securitizations. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of June 30, 2022, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $ 650 million, $ 160 million, and $ 430 million of private education, consumer, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations.
(g) As of June 30, 2022, the Company has funded a total of $ 241.3 million in solar investments, which includes $ 71.4 million funded by syndication partners. The carrying value of the Company’s solar investments are reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed in service. The solar investment balance at June 30, 2022 represents the sum of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed in service through June 30, 2022 and the calculated HLBV net losses being larger than total payments made by the Company on such projects. As of June 30, 2022, the Company is committed to fund an additional $ 51.9 million on these projects, of which $ 43.1 million will be provided by syndication partners.
The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company’s solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. The Company recognized pre-tax losses on its solar investments of $ 1.9 million and $ 2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $ 2.9 million and $ 4.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These losses are included in “other” in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. Losses from solar investments include losses attributable to third-party minority interest investors (syndication partners) that are included in “net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of income. Solar losses attributed to minority investors was $ 2.0 million and $ 0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $ 3.8 million and $ 1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Impairment Expense
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 5.4 million related primarily to one of its venture capital investments accounted for under the measurement alternative method. The impairment expense is included in "impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests, net" on the consolidated statements of income.

NextGen provides software solutions primarily to higher education institutions to enable administrators to efficiently manage online forms, scholarships, employment, online timesheets, and other specialized processes that require signed authorizations and interactions with student information.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned 50 percent of the ownership interests of NextGen and accounted for this investment under the equity method. As a result of the acquisition, the previously held 50 percent ownership interests was remeasured to its fair value as of the April 30, 2022 date of acquisition of the additional 30 percent of the ownership interests, resulting in a $ 15.2 million revaluation gain, which is included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income.

12. Major Customer
The Company earns loan servicing revenue from servicing contracts with the Department. Revenues earned by the Company related to these contracts are set forth in the "Government servicing" line item of the "Loan Servicing and Systems" table in note 11.
The Company's student loan servicing contracts with the Department are scheduled to expire on December 14, 2023. In 2017, the Department initiated a contract procurement process referred to as the Next Generation Financial Services Environment for a new framework for the servicing of all student loans owned by the Department. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 contains provisions directing certain aspects of the process, including that any new federal student loan servicing environment is required to provide for the participation of multiple student loan servicers and the allocation of borrower accounts to eligible student loan servicers based on performance. In the second quarter of 2022, the Department released a solicitation entitled Unified Servicing and Data Solution ("USDS") for the new servicing framework. The Company responded to the USDS solicitation. The Company cannot predict the timing, nature, or ultimate outcome of this or any other contract procurement process by the Department.
