NELNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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” or "Nelnet") as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2025. 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, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report").

2. Partial Redemption of ALLO Investment

Nelnet had both voting and preferred membership interest investments in ALLO Holdings, LLC (referred to collectively with its subsidiary ALLO Communications LLC as "ALLO"). In June 2025, ALLO executed a financing transaction that resulted in gross proceeds to ALLO of $500 million (the “Financing”). In conjunction with the Financing, Nelnet, ALLO, and certain other ALLO investors entered into a Membership Unit Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) pursuant to which ALLO agreed to redeem certain of its membership interests from certain investors in ALLO, including Nelnet (the “Transaction”).

As part of the Transaction, ALLO redeemed all of Nelnet's outstanding preferred membership interests on June 4, 2025, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through the Transaction's closing date. In addition, ALLO redeemed a portion of Nelnet’s voting membership interest in ALLO.

Upon closing, Nelnet received cash proceeds of $410.9 million from ALLO for these redemptions and recognized a pre-tax gain of $175.0 million, which is included in "gain on partial redemption of ALLO investment" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Following the closing of the Transaction, Nelnet no longer owns any preferred membership interests in ALLO, but maintains a significant voting equity investment in ALLO. Nelnet’s ownership of voting membership interest in ALLO decreased from 45% to 27%. Nelnet will continue to account for its remaining 27% voting membership interest in ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of accounting, with the carrying value of such interest remaining at $0.

As part of the ALLO recapitalization transaction completed in December 2020, Nelnet and SDC (a third-party global digital infrastructure investor and member of ALLO) entered into an agreement in which Nelnet has a contingent obligation to pay SDC in the event Nelnet disposes of its voting membership interests in ALLO that it holds, and realizes from such disposition certain targeted return levels. Upon closing of the Transaction described above, Nelnet recalculated its contingent obligation to reflect the reduction in Nelnet's voting membership interests that are subject to the contingency. This resulted in a reduction in the estimated fair value of the contingent payment liability of $4.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, which is included in (and decreased) "other expenses" on the Company's consolidated statements of income. Based on Nelnet's remaining voting membership interests in ALLO, the maximum contingent obligation that Nelnet may owe SDC upon future disposals of Nelnet's voting membership interests in ALLO is $9 million (down from $35 million). The estimated fair value of the contingent payment as of June 30, 2025 is $3.4 million, which is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet.

3. Loans and Accrued Interest Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans and accrued interest receivable consisted of the following:

(a) During the second quarter of 2025, the Asset Generation and Management operating segment (Non-Nelnet Bank) contributed $42.2 million of private education loans to Nelnet Bank.

The following table summarizes the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the ending loan balance for each of the Company's loan portfolios:


	As of		As of
	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024

Nelnet Bank:
Federally insured loans (a)	0.33	%	—
Private education loans	2.39	%	2.09	%
Consumer and other loans	4.68	%	3.77	%

(a) The allowance for loan losses as a percent of the risk sharing component of federally insured student loans not covered by the federal guaranty for non-Nelnet Bank was 20.4% and 20.6% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and for Nelnet Bank was 16.5% as of June 30, 2025.

Student Loan Trust Acquisitions

In March 2025, the Company acquired the ownership interests in certain trusts giving the Company rights to the residual interest. The trusts included $646.9 million (par value) of federally insured Stafford and consolidation loans funded to term with $721.3 million (par value) of bonds and notes payable, $32.2 million of cash and restricted cash, and $27.4 million of other net assets. The Company has consolidated these trusts on its consolidated balance sheet as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the trusts. Upon acquisition, the Company recorded the student loans and bonds and notes payable at fair value, resulting in the recognition of a student loan net discount of $6.6 million and a bonds and notes payable discount of $31.1 million. These net discounts will be accreted using the effective interest method over the lives of the underlying assets and liabilities.

(a) Once a loan is classified as held for sale, any allowance for loan losses that existed immediately prior to the reclassification to held for sale is reversed through provision. The following table presents the reduction to provision for loan losses as a result of the contribution of Non-Nelnet Bank private education loans to Nelnet Bank during the second quarter of 2025 and the consumer and other loan sales during 2024:


	Provision for current period		Reduction to provision	Provision (negative provision) for loan losses

The following table summarizes annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for each of the Company's loan portfolios:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Non-Nelnet Bank:
Federally insured loans	0.16	%	0.22	%	0.14	%	0.19	%
Private education loans	0.55	%	2.64	%	1.02	%	1.85	%

Nelnet Bank:
Federally insured loans	0.06	%	—		0.06	%	—
Private education loans	1.10	%	0.40	%	1.08	%	0.44	%
Consumer and other loans (a)	1.71	%	7.44	%	1.49	%	7.66	%

(a) Decrease in annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was due to a change in mix of consumer loan portfolios that resulted in a portfolio of loans with an overall higher credit quality in 2025 compared with 2024 and Nelnet Bank exiting a consumer loan program in December 2024 that had previously incurred significant charge-offs.

During the periods presented above, the primary item impacting provision for loan losses was the establishment of an initial allowance for loans originated and acquired during the periods. Provision for loan losses was also impacted by the reversal of provision for consumer and other loans sold in 2024. The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses for its federally insured loan portfolio in 2024 due to an increase in prepayment assumptions.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Nelnet Bank had a liability of approximately $416,000 and $326,000, respectively, related to $62.2 million and $40.7 million, respectively, of unfunded private education, consumer, and other loan commitments. When a new loan commitment is made, the Company records an allowance that is included in "other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet by recording a provision for loan losses. When the loan is funded, the Company transfers the liability to the allowance for loan losses. Below is a reconciliation of the provision for loan losses reported in the consolidated statements of income.


	Three months ended			Six months ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024
Provision for loan losses from allowance activity table above	$	17,712	3,549	33,177	14,478
Provision (negative provision) for unfunded loan commitments	218		62	90	(38)

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. Loans in repayment include loans on which borrowers are making interest only or fixed payments, as well as loans that have entered full principal and interest repayment status after any applicable grace period (but for purposes of the following tables, do not include those loans while they are in forbearance). The following table presents the Company’s loan status and delinquency amounts:

(a) Loans with no FICO score available or required refers to loans issued to borrowers for which the Company cannot obtain a FICO score or are not required to under a special purpose credit program. Management proactively assesses the risk and size of this loan category and, when necessary, takes actions to mitigate the credit risk.

Nonaccrual Status

The Company does not place federally insured loans on nonaccrual status due to the government guaranty. The amortized cost of private education, consumer, and other loans on nonaccrual status, as well as the allowance for loan losses related to such loans, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was not material.

Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year

The following table presents the amortized cost of the Company's private education, consumer, and other loans by loan status and delinquency amount as of June 30, 2025 based on year of origination. Effective July 1, 2010, no new loan originations can be made under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (the "FFEL Program" or FFELP) and all new federal loan originations must be made under the Federal Direct Loan Program. As such, all of the Company’s federally insured loans were originated prior to July 1, 2010.

On July 17, 2025, the Company increased the maximum financing amount from $600 million to $800 million and extended the liquidity provisions and final maturity date to January 30, 2026 and January 29, 2027, respectively.

(b) This facility has a static advance rate until the expiration date of the liquidity provisions. The maximum advance rates for this facility are 90% to 96%, and the minimum advance rates are 84% to 90%. In the event the liquidity provisions are not extended, the valuation agent has the right to perform a one-time mark to market on the underlying loans funded in this facility, subject to a floor. The loans would then be funded at this new advance rate until the final maturity date of the facility.

Debt Repurchases

The following table summarizes the Company's repurchases of its own debt. Gains/losses recorded by the Company from the repurchase of debt are included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Remaining unamortized cost of issuance	(10)		—	(12)	—
Gain (loss), net	$	388	(9)	439	(9)

The Company has repurchased certain of its own asset-backed securities (bonds and notes payable) in the secondary market. For accounting purposes, these notes are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, these securities remain legally outstanding at the trust level and the Company could sell these notes to third parties or redeem the notes at par as cash is generated by the trust estate. Upon a sale of these notes to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale. As of June 30, 2025, the Company holds $238.8 million (par value) of its own FFELP asset-backed securities.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

Non-Nelnet Bank Derivatives

Nelnet Bank Derivatives

Nelnet Bank uses non-centrally cleared derivative instruments to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows from variable rate intercompany and third-party deposits to minimize volatility from future changes in interest rates. Nelnet Bank has designated all of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; however, the derivatives that hedge intercompany deposits are not eligible for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Swaps - Intercompany Deposits

The following table summarizes the outstanding derivative instruments used by Nelnet Bank to hedge intercompany deposits. For these derivative instruments, the Company receives monthly or quarterly payments based on SOFR that reset daily.


	As of June 30, 2025				As of December 31, 2024

	$	50,000	3.72	%

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that hedge third-party deposits and qualify as cash flow hedges in the consolidated financial statements are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Derivative settlements for cash flow hedges are included in "interest expense" on the consolidated statements of income, which were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Consolidated Financial Statement Impact Related to Derivatives

Balance Sheets

Unlike the Company's Non-Nelnet Bank derivatives, Nelnet Bank's derivatives are not cleared post-execution at a regulated clearinghouse. As such, the Company records these derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis as either an asset (included in "other assets") or liability (included in "other liabilities") measured at fair value. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's Nelnet Bank derivatives as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets:


	Fair value of asset derivatives			Fair value of liability derivatives
	As of June 30, 2025		As of December 31, 2024	As of June 30, 2025	As of December 31, 2024

(a) Represent investments held in third-party trusts as collateral for the Company’s reinsurance business.

(b) As sponsor of certain private education loan securitizations, the Company is required to provide a certain level of risk retention, and has purchased bonds issued in such securitizations to satisfy this requirement. The bonds purchased to satisfy the risk retention requirement are included in the above table. The Company must retain these investment securities until the latest of (i) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans in the securitization is 33% or less of the initial loan balance, and (ii) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the bonds is 33% or less of the aggregate initial outstanding principal balance of the bonds, at which time the Company can sell its investment securities (bonds) to a third party.

(c) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”). During the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in Hudl for $3.8 million from existing Hudl investors. This transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the transaction value. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl was $172.5 million. David S. Graff, who has served on the Company's Board of Directors since May 2014, is CEO, co-founder, and a director of Hudl.

(d) On June 4, 2025, the Company redeemed a portion of its voting membership interests in ALLO and all its outstanding preferred membership interests, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through June 3, 2025. See note 2 for additional information. The Company's voting membership interest in ALLO is accounted for using the HLBV method of accounting. Using the HLBV method of accounting, the Company recognized $10.7 million of losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024, reducing the carrying value of the voting membership interest investment to $0. Absent additional equity contributions with respect to ALLO's voting membership interest, the Company will not recognize additional losses for its voting membership interest in ALLO. The Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $6.0 million and $4.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $14.4 million and $6.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income statement activity from the Company's investment in ALLO is included in "other, net" in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income.

(e) The Company has partial ownership in certain consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan securitizations, which are accounted for as held-to-maturity beneficial interest investments. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of June 30, 2025, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $1.00 billion, $420 million, and $280 million of consumer, private education, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. The Company recorded a $1.5 million and $5.0 million allowance for credit losses (and related provision expense) during the first and second quarters of 2025, respectively, on these investments. This expense is included in "impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests" on the consolidated statements of income.

(f) The Company invests in solar tax equity investments through investment partnerships. Due to the management and control of each of these investment partnerships, such partnerships that invest in tax equity investments are consolidated on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with the third-party co-investor’s portion being presented as noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has invested a total of $300.6 million and its third-party investors have invested $285.8 million in tax equity investments that remain outstanding in renewable energy solar partnerships that support the development and operations of solar projects. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in a solar project is reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed in service. As of June 30, 2025, the Company and its third-party co-investors have earned $334.2 million and $290.7 million, respectively, of tax credits on those projects that remain outstanding. The solar investment negative carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet of $200.8 million as of June 30, 2025 represents the sum of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed in service through June 30, 2025 and the calculated HLBV cumulative net losses being larger than the total investment contributions made by the Company and its syndication partners on such projects. The solar investment negative carrying value as of June 30, 2025, excluding the portion owned by syndication partners that is reflected as "noncontrolling interests" on the consolidated balance sheet, was $97.7 million.

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 following table presents (i) the Company's recognized HLBV losses and gains recognized from sales of certain investments at the end of the contractual agreement (typically five years), which include losses and gains attributable to third-party noncontrolling interest investors (syndication partners), included in “other, net” in "other income (expense)" on the consolidated statements of income, (ii) solar net losses and gains attributed to noncontrolling interest investors included in “net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” on the consolidated statements of income, and (iii) the Company's recognized net gain excluding amounts attributed to noncontrolling interest investors (such amount reflecting the before tax net income impact of such solar tax equity investments to the Company):

The following table presents securities classified as available-for-sale that have gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2025 and the fair value of such securities as of June 30, 2025. These securities are segregated between investments that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and twelve months or more, based on the point in time that the fair value declined below the amortized cost basis. All securities in the table below have been evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists. As part of that assessment, the Company concluded it currently has the intent and ability to retain these investments, and none of the unrealized losses were due to credit losses.

Union Bank, a related party, is the program manager for certain of the Educational 529 College Savings plans and trustee for the STFIT.

11. Earnings per Common Share

The following table presents the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company applies the two-class method in computing both basic and diluted earnings per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings per share amounts for common stock and unvested share-based awards. Unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock.

15. Major Customer

Government Loan Servicing

The Company earns loan servicing revenue from a servicing contract with the Department of Education (the "Department"). Revenue earned by the Company related to this contract was $85.7 million and $87.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $173.1 million and $192.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's legacy student loan servicing contract with the Department was scheduled to expire on December 14, 2023. In April 2023, Nelnet Servicing received a contract award from the Department, pursuant to which it was selected to provide continued servicing capabilities for the Department's student aid recipients under a new Unified Servicing and Data Solution (USDS) contract which replaced the legacy Department student loan servicing contract.

The USDS contract became effective in April 2023 and has a five-year base period, with 2 two-year and 1 one-year possible extensions. The Department's total loan servicing volume of existing borrowers was allocated by the Department to the Company and four other third-party servicers that were awarded a USDS contract. Servicing under the USDS contract went live on April 1, 2024 and the Company recognized revenue in accordance with this new contract beginning in the second quarter of 2024. The Company earned revenue for servicing borrowers under the legacy servicing contract with the Department through March 31, 2024. The Company earns less revenue from the Department on a per-borrower blended basis under the new USDS servicing contract as compared with the legacy servicing contract.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. All dollars are in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.)

The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Company’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report.

Forward-looking and cautionary statements

This report contains forward-looking statements and information that are based on management's current expectations as of the date of this document. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's plans and expectations for future financial condition, results of operations or economic performance, or that address management's plans and objectives for future operations, and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “ensure,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “scheduled,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by management in light of management's experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that management believes are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause the actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” sections of the 2024 Annual Report and this report and include such risks and uncertainties as:

•risks related to the ability to successfully maintain and increase allocated volumes of student loans serviced by the Company under existing and future servicing contracts with the Department, risks related to unfavorable contract modifications or interpretations, risks related to consistently meeting service requirements to avoid the assessment of performance penalties, and risks related to the Company's ability to comply with agreements with third-party customers for the servicing of Federal Direct Loan Program, FFEL Program, private education, and consumer loans;

•loan portfolio risks such as credit risk, prepayment risk, interest rate basis and repricing risk, risks related to the use of derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations, uncertainties regarding the expected benefits from purchased securitized and unsecuritized FFELP, private education, consumer, and other loans, or investment interests therein, and initiatives to purchase additional FFELP, private education, consumer, and other loans;

•financing and liquidity risks, including risks of changes in the interest rate environment;

•risks from changes in the terms of education loans and in the educational credit and services markets resulting from changes in applicable laws, regulations, and government programs and budgets;

•risks related to a breach of or failure in the Company's operational or information systems or infrastructure, or those of third-party vendors, including disclosure of confidential or personal information and/or damage to reputation resulting from cyber breaches;

•risks related to use of artificial intelligence;

•uncertainties inherent in forecasting future cash flows from student loan assets, including investment interests therein, and related asset-backed securitizations;

•risks related to the ability of Nelnet Bank to achieve its business objectives and effectively deploy loan and deposit strategies and achieve expected market penetration;

•risks related to the Company's solar tax equity investments and solar construction business, including risks of not being able to realize tax credits which remain subject to recapture by taxing authorities and risks from the impact of the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill that accelerates the expiration and phase out of solar energy credits;

•risks and uncertainties related to other initiatives to pursue additional strategic investments (and anticipated income therefrom) including venture capital and real estate investments, reinsurance, acquisitions, and other activities (including risks associated with errors that occasionally occur in converting loan servicing portfolios to a new servicing platform), including activities that are intended to diversify the Company both within and outside of its historical core education-related businesses;

•risks and uncertainties associated with climate change; and

•risks and uncertainties associated with litigation matters and maintaining compliance with the extensive regulatory requirements applicable to the Company's businesses, including changes to the regulatory environment from the change in presidential administration, and uncertainties inherent in the estimates and assumptions about future events that management is required to make in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All forward-looking statements contained in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this document. Although the Company may from time to time voluntarily update or revise its prior forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the Company's expectations, the Company disclaims any commitment to do so except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a diversified hybrid holding company with primary businesses being consumer lending, loan servicing, payments, and technology – with many of these businesses serving customers in the education space. The largest operating businesses engage in loan servicing, and education technology services and payments. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is net interest income earned on a portfolio of federally insured student loans. The Company also makes and manages investments to further diversify both within and outside of its historical core education-related businesses including, but not limited to, investments in a fiber communications company (ALLO), early-stage and emerging growth companies (venture capital investments), real estate, reinsurance, and renewable energy (solar). In the Nelnet Financial Services division, which includes Nelnet Bank, the Company is also actively expanding its private education, consumer, and other loan portfolios.

GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income, Excluding Adjustments

The Company prepares its financial statements and presents its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, it also provides additional non-GAAP financial information related to specific items management believes to be important in the evaluation of its operating results and performance. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income to Non-GAAP net income excluding derivative market value adjustments, and a discussion of why the Company believes providing this additional information is useful to investors, are provided below.


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024
GAAP net income attributable to Nelnet, Inc.	$	181,459	45,091	264,018	118,498
Realized and unrealized derivative market value adjustments (a)	3,866		(1,533)	10,190	(9,497)
Tax effect (b)	(928)		368	(2,446)	2,279
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Nelnet, Inc., excluding derivative market value adjustments	$	184,397	43,926	271,762	111,280

Earnings per share:
GAAP net income attributable to Nelnet, Inc.	$	4.97	1.23	7.24	3.22
Realized and unrealized derivative market value adjustments (a)	0.11		(0.04)	0.28	(0.26)
Tax effect (b)	(0.03)		0.01	(0.07)	0.06
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Nelnet, Inc., excluding derivative market value adjustments	$	5.05	1.20	7.45	3.02

(a) "Derivative market value adjustments" includes both the realized portion of gains and losses (corresponding to variation margin received or paid on derivative instruments that are settled daily at a central clearinghouse) and the unrealized portion of gains and losses that are caused by changes in fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for "hedge treatment" under GAAP. "Derivative market value adjustments" does not include "derivative settlements" that represent the cash paid or received during the respective period to settle with derivative instrument counterparties the economic effect of the Company's derivative instruments based on their contractual terms.

The accounting for derivatives requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in earnings, with no fair value adjustment of the hedged item, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Management has structured all of the Company’s derivative transactions with the intent that each is economically effective; however, the majority of the Company’s derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the change in fair value for the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting is reported in current period earnings with no consideration for the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged item. Under GAAP, the cumulative net realized and unrealized gain or loss caused by changes in fair values of derivatives in which the Company plans to hold to maturity will equal zero over the life of the contract. However, the net realized and unrealized gain or loss during any given reporting period fluctuates significantly from period to period.

The Company believes these point-in-time estimates of asset and liability values related to its derivative instruments that are subject to interest rate fluctuations are subject to volatility mostly due to timing and market factors beyond the control of management, and affect the period-to-period comparability of the results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s management utilizes operating results excluding these items for comparability purposes when making decisions regarding the Company’s performance and in presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders, and investors. Consequently, the Company reports this non-GAAP information because the Company believes that it provides additional information regarding operational and performance indicators that are closely assessed by management and represents what earnings would have been had these derivatives qualified for hedge accounting. There is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for the presentation of such non-GAAP information, which is only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information that management utilizes to assess performance.

(b) The tax effects are calculated by multiplying the realized and unrealized derivative market value adjustments by the applicable statutory income tax rate.

Recent Development - Partial Redemption of ALLO Investment

Nelnet had both voting and preferred membership interest investments in ALLO. On June 4, 2025, Nelnet redeemed a portion of its voting membership interests in ALLO and all its outstanding preferred membership interests, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through June 3, 2025. The Company received cash proceeds of $410.9 million from ALLO and recognized a pre-tax gain of $175.0 million as a result of this transaction. See note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information about this transaction.

Operating Segments

The Company's reportable operating segments are described in note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report. They include:

•Loan Servicing and Systems (LSS) - referred to as Nelnet Diversified Services (NDS)

•Education Technology Services and Payments (ETSP) - referred to as Nelnet Business Services (NBS)

•Asset Generation and Management (AGM), part of the Nelnet Financial Services (NFS) division

•Nelnet Bank, part of the NFS division

The Company earns fee-based revenue through its NDS and NBS reportable operating segments. The Company earns net interest income on its loan portfolio, consisting primarily of FFELP loans, through its AGM reportable operating segment. This segment is expected to generate significant amounts of cash as the FFELP portfolio amortizes. The Company actively works to maximize the amount and timing of cash flows generated from its FFELP portfolio and seeks to acquire additional loan assets to leverage its servicing scale and expertise to generate incremental earnings and cash flow. Nelnet Bank operates as an internet industrial bank franchise focused on the private education and unsecured consumer loan markets, with a home office in Salt Lake City, Utah. Other operating segments included in the NFS division include the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered investment advisor subsidiary, property and casualty reinsurance activities, investment activities in real estate, and investment debt securities (primarily student loan and other asset-backed securities) and interest expense incurred on debt used to finance such investments.

Other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable and not part of the NFS division are combined and included in Corporate and Other Activities ("Corporate"). Corporate also includes interest income earned on cash balances held at the corporate level and interest expense incurred on unsecured corporate related debt transactions, certain investment activities including its investment in ALLO, early-stage and emerging growth companies (venture capital investments), solar tax equity investments, the operating results of the Company's solar engineering, procurement, and construction business, and certain shared service activities that are allocated to each operating segment based on estimated use of such activities and services. In addition, Corporate includes corporate costs and overhead functions not allocated to operating segments, including executive management, investments in innovation, and other holding company organizational costs.

The information below presents the operating results (net income (loss) before taxes) for each of the Company's reportable and certain other operating segments reconciled to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. See "Results of Operations" for additional detail regarding each reportable operating segment, the NFS operating segments, and Corporate and Other Activities under this Item 2.


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,		Certain Items Impacting Comparability (All dollar amounts below are pre-tax)
	2025		2024	2025	2024
NDS	$	19,959	2,243	38,471	18,234	•An increase in before tax operating margin due to an increase in private education and consumer loan servicing volume and a decrease in total expenses obtained through cost-saving measures. This was partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024 due to lower revenue earned on a per-borrower blended basis under the new government servicing contract (which the Company recognized revenue under beginning April 1, 2024) as compared with the legacy government contract.
NBS	23,542		25,599	71,005	73,235	•ETSP revenue increased to $118.2 million and $265.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $116.9 million and $260.4 million for the same periods in 2024. However, NBS experienced a decrease in before tax operating margin due to a decrease in FACTS education services revenue and an increase in operating expenses to support the growth in the customer base and investments in the development of new technologies. Net income and before tax operating margin will continue to be impacted by these items throughout 2025 compared with 2024.
Nelnet Financial Services division:
AGM	27,393		24,310	57,226	58,055	•The recognition of $11.1 million in provision for loan losses and $4.2 million in negative provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $24.1 million and $2.2 million in provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Increase was due to an increase of loan acquisitions in the first half of 2025. •A decrease of $1.1 million and $10.1 million in investment interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 due to a decrease of interest earned on restricted cash driven by lower balances and a decrease in interest rates, which, for the three month period, was partially offset by an increase of interest income from beneficial interest investments. •A net loss of $2.2 million compared to net income of $0.9 million, and a net loss of $6.0 million compared to net income of $6.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. •An increase in net loan interest income of $10.1 million and $26.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 due to an increase in loan spread driven by an increase in loans funded with operating cash (versus funded with debt), partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans.
Nelnet Bank	(465)		(3,718)	1,487	(2,571)	•An increase of $5.6 million and $10.4 million in net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 due to an increase in the average balance of loans and investments and an increase in net interest margin. •A net loss of $1.7 million compared to net income of $0.6 million, and a net loss of $4.2 million compared to net income of $2.9 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
NFS other operating segments	10,091		16,525	20,152	30,286	•Net interest income earned on investment debt securities (primarily student loan and other asset-backed securities) was $6.4 million and $13.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared with $12.2 million and $24.4 million for the same periods in 2024. This decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of investments outstanding and a decrease in interest rates.
Corporate:
Unallocated corporate costs	(11,923)		(9,056)	(21,911)	(19,101)	•During the second quarter 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $3.3 million related to operating lease assets as a result of the Company consolidating office space.
Solar tax equity investments	(1,892)		(2,580)	(686)	(266)	•Includes operating results of the Company's tax equity investments in renewable energy solar partnerships. These results include results attributable to third-party noncontrolling interest investors. See note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.


Nelnet Renewable Energy - solar construction	(17,601)		(4,752)	(24,175)	(8,788)	•Includes the operating results of Nelnet Renewable Energy (NRE), the Company’s solar construction business that provides full-service engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services to commercial entities. Since the acquisition of GRNE Solar in 2022, NRE has incurred low and, in many cases, negative margins on legacy projects. The Company has a handful of remaining legacy construction contracts that it is obligated to complete, down from over 30 at the beginning of 2024. During the second quarter 2025, NRE recognized $12.9 million in contract loss reserves that represents NRE's estimate of costs it will incur to complete the remaining legacy contracts. In addition, uncertain economic conditions and legislation activity have impacted new construction projects being initiated which has adversely impacted and will continue to adversely impact revenue. See Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this report for additional information on the adverse impacts on NRE's business related to the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
ALLO investment	185,236		3,940	193,651	(4,653)	•The recognition of a $175.0 million gain in the three months ended June 30, 2025 on a partial redemption of the Company's investment in ALLO. •The recognition of no loss in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with a loss of $10.7 million for the same period in 2024 related to the Company's ALLO voting membership interest investment. The loss recognized in the first quarter of 2024 reduced the Company's carrying value of its voting membership interest to $0. Absent additional equity contributions with respect to ALLO's voting membership interest, the Company will not recognize additional losses for its voting membership interest in ALLO. •The recognition of income of $6.0 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $4.2 million and $6.6 million for the same periods in 2024 on the Company's preferred membership interests in ALLO. All preferred membership interests were redeemed as part of the second quarter 2025 redemption transaction; thus, no preferred return will be recognized in future periods.
Venture capital investments	1,340		3,417	5,560	2,711	•Includes operating results of the Company's venture capital investments. These investments may create volatility in earnings from recognizing results of certain equity method investees, periodic adjustment of certain fund investments to their respective fair value, and, when applicable, observable price changes on certain measurement alternative investments.
Other corporate activities	1,586		2,500	2,531	5,225

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

An analysis of the Company's consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 is provided below.

The Company operates as distinct reportable operating segments as described above. For a reconciliation of the reportable segment operating results to the consolidated results of operations, see note 12 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report. Since the Company monitors and assesses its operations and results based on these segments, the discussion following the consolidated results of operations is presented on a reportable segment basis.

	June 30,			June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024	Additional information
Loan interest	$	172,104	202,129	338,543	418,853	Decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of loans and gross yield earned on loans.
Investment interest	40,185		40,737	81,574	92,814	Includes income from unrestricted interest-earning deposits and investments, and restricted cash in asset-backed securitizations. Decrease was due to a decrease in interest earned on restricted cash in asset-backed securitizations due to lower balances and a decrease in interest rates. The decrease was partially offset for the three month period due to an increase in interest earned on the Company's partial ownership in loan securitizations that are accounted for as held-to-maturity beneficial interest investments.
Total interest income	212,289		242,866	420,117	511,667


Interest expense	132,854	176,459	257,968	371,039	Decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of debt outstanding and decrease in cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on a larger deposit balance at Nelnet Bank.
Net interest income	79,435	66,407	162,149	140,628
Less provision for loan losses	17,930	3,611	33,267	14,440	Represents the current period provision to reflect the lifetime expected credit losses related to the Company's loan portfolio. See note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for the factors impacting provision for loan losses for the periods presented.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses	61,505	62,796	128,882	126,188
Other income (expense):
LSS revenue	120,724	109,052	241,465	236,252	See LSS operating segment - results of operations.
ETSP revenue	118,184	116,909	265,515	260,449	See ETSP operating segment - results of operations.
Reinsurance premiums earned	26,112	14,851	50,799	27,631	Represents premiums earned, net of ceded portion, from reinsurance treaties on property and casualty policies. Increase was primarily due to an increase in overall property volume and new business.
Solar construction revenue	1,259	9,694	5,254	23,420	Represents revenue earned from NRE providing solar EPC services. Uncertain economic conditions and legislation activity have impacted new construction projects being initiated which has adversely impacted and will continue to adversely impact revenue. See Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this report for additional information on the adverse impacts on NRE's business related to the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Other, net	22,976	14,020	46,670	18,103	See table below for the components of "other, net."
Gain (loss) on sale of loans, net	—	(1,438)	909	(1,579)	The Company recognizes gains/losses from selling loans. See NFS division - results of operations - AGM operating segment.
Gain on partial redemption of ALLO investment	175,044	—	175,044	—	Represents a gain recognized from the partial redemption of the ALLO investment. See note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.
Derivative settlements, net	744	1,649	1,489	3,406	The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility. Derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company's net interest income. See NFS division - results of operations - AGM and Nelnet Bank operating segments - for additional information.
Derivative market value adjustments, net	(3,866)	1,533	(10,190)	9,497	Includes the realized and unrealized gains and losses that are caused by changes in fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for "hedge treatment" under GAAP. The majority of the derivative market value adjustments during the periods presented related to the changes in fair value of the Company's floor income interest rate swaps and derivatives at Nelnet Bank. Such changes reflect that a decrease in the forward yield curve during a reporting period results in a decrease in the fair value of the Company's floor income interest rate swaps, and an increase in the forward yield curve during a reporting period results in an increase in the fair value of such swaps.
Total other income (expense), net	461,177	266,270	776,955	577,179
Cost of services and expenses:
Loan servicing contract fulfillment and acquisition costs	1,845	196	3,478	196	Represents primarily the amortization of previously capitalized contract fulfillment costs. The costs were pre-contract costs incurred to enhance the resources of the Company to satisfy future performance obligations.

Cost to provide solar construction services	14,050	8,072	21,878	22,300	Represents direct costs related to NRE providing solar construction services. Since the acquisition of GRNE Solar, NRE has incurred low and, in many cases, negative margins on legacy projects. The Company has a handful of remaining legacy construction contracts it is obligated to complete, down from over 30 at the beginning of 2024. During the second quarter 2025, NRE recognized $12.9 million in contract loss reserves that represents NRE's estimate of costs it will incur to complete the remaining legacy contracts.
Total cost of services	55,739	48,490	113,247	111,328
Salaries and benefits	134,699	139,634	272,922	283,509	Decrease was primarily due to staff reductions announced in June 2024 in LSS after the completion of required servicing platform enhancements for the new government servicing contract and the transfer of direct loan servicing volume to one platform. These staff reductions took place during the second half of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization	7,624	15,142	16,879	31,911	Includes depreciation of property and equipment and the amortization of intangibles from prior business acquisitions. Decrease was primarily due to (i) reduction in depreciation as a result of prior year non-cash impairment charges recognized for lease, buildings, and associated improvements as the Company consolidated office space; and (ii) certain information technology activities moved to cloud computing and such expenses classified as other expenses.
Reinsurance losses and underwriting expenses	25,662	10,988	47,874	22,305	Represents case reserve, estimated loss reserve, and amortization of acquisition costs, which consist primarily of commissions and brokerage expenses, net of ceded portion, from reinsurance treaties on property and casualty policies. Increase was primarily due to an increase in overall property volume and new business.
Other expenses	51,306	48,608	99,532	94,136	Includes expenses such as postage and distribution, consulting and professional fees, servicing fees, marketing, travel, communications, and certain information technology-related costs.

Impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests	10,288		7,776	11,879	7,813	Represents the provision expense of recognized non-cash allowances for the Company's beneficial interest in certain loan securitizations due primarily to an increase in cumulative loss expectations and impairment expenses primarily related to operating lease assets. See note 9 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.
Total expenses	285,318		270,638	562,333	551,002

Summary and Comparison of Operating Results


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024	Additional information
Interest income	$	624	1,258	1,345	3,152	Represents interest income on cash balances primarily collected from borrower remittances that are subsequently disbursed to servicing customers (lenders). Decrease was due to a decrease in average balance of loan repayment funds held in custody for lenders and a decrease in interest rates.
Loan servicing and systems revenue	120,724		109,052	241,465	236,252	See table below for additional information.
Intersegment servicing revenue	5,603		6,106	11,287	12,991	Represents revenue earned by LSS from servicing loans for AGM and Nelnet Bank. Decrease was due to the continued amortization of AGM's FFELP portfolio. Intersegment servicing revenue will continue to decrease as AGM's FFELP portfolio pays off.
Other income	113		685	225	1,395	Represents revenue earned from providing administrative support services.
Total other income	126,440		115,843	252,977	250,638
Contract fulfillment and acquisition costs	1,845		196	3,478	196	Represents primarily the amortization of previously capitalized contract fulfillment costs. The costs were pre-contract costs incurred to enhance the resources of the Company to satisfy future performance obligations.
Salaries and benefits	65,549		70,631	135,123	147,353	Decrease was due to staff reductions announced in June 2024 after the completion of required servicing platform enhancements for the new government servicing contract and the transfer of direct loan servicing volume to one platform. These staff reductions took place during the second half of 2024.
Depreciation	1,821		5,342	4,474	10,450	Decrease was due to certain information technology activities moved to cloud computing and incurred at the corporate level and such costs are classified as other expenses and intercompany expenses, respectively.
Postage expense	9,551		9,277	17,127	19,883	Increase during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in consumer loan servicing volume from the conversion of Discover Financial Services and SoFi Lending Corp. during the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025 and higher postage rates. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024 was due to a non-recurring volume-based credit earned from the Company's mail provider and recognized in the first quarter of 2025.
Other expenses	11,099		11,188	21,931	20,119	The total of other expenses and intercompany expenses decreased due to moving to one platform in 2024 and continued focus on expense reductions. Intersegment expenses represents costs for certain corporate activities and services that are allocated to each operating segment based on estimated use of such activities and services.
Intersegment expenses	17,240		18,224	33,718	37,555
Total operating expenses	105,260		114,662	212,373	235,360

Total expenses	107,105		114,858	215,851	235,556
Income before income taxes	19,959		2,243	38,471	18,234
Income tax expense	(4,790)		(538)	(9,233)	(4,376)	Represents income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 24%.
Net income	$	15,169	1,705	29,238	13,858



Before tax operating margin	16.0	%	1.9	%	15.4	%	7.3	%	Before tax operating margin is a measure of before tax operating profitability as a percentage of revenue, and for LSS is calculated as income before income taxes divided by the total of loan servicing and systems revenue (less contract fulfillment and acquisition costs), intersegment servicing revenue, and other income. The Company uses this metric to monitor and assess the segment’s performance, manage operating costs, identify and evaluate business trends affecting the segment, and make strategic decisions, and believes that it provides additional information to facilitate an understanding of the operating performance of the segment and provides a meaningful comparison of the results of operations between periods. Before tax operating margin increased due to an increase in private education and consumer loan servicing volume and a decrease in total expenses obtained through cost-saving measures executed primarily in 2024. This was partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024 due to lower revenue earned on a per-borrower blended basis under the new government servicing contract (which the Company recognized revenue under beginning April 1, 2024) as compared with the legacy government contract.

Loan servicing and systems revenue

The following table presents disaggregated revenue by service offering for each reporting period:


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024	Additional information
Government loan servicing	$	85,737	87,014	173,100	192,490	Represents revenue from the Company's servicing contract with the Department. Decrease was due to a decrease in the number of borrowers serviced, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was also due to lower revenue earned on a per-borrower blended basis under the new government servicing contract (which the Company recognized revenue under beginning April 1, 2024) as compared with the legacy government contract. The Company expects the number of borrowers serviced under this contract will continue to decrease through the fourth quarter of 2025 as volume is transferred from the Company to its remote hosted servicing customer at the Department's direction to stand-up and establish the new servicer. In addition, volume is expected to decrease beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to borrowers exiting the CARES forbearance period that have not made payments. These borrowers are expected to be transferred to the Debt Management and Collections System who is responsible for managing and facilitating the collection of defaulted federal student loans.
Private education and consumer loan servicing	22,733		12,959	45,426	25,577	Increase was due to an increase in loan servicing volume from the conversion of Discover Financial Services and SoFi Lending Corp. loan portfolios during the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025. Over time, revenue earned on the Discover Financial Services portfolio will decrease as borrowers pay off their loans.
FFELP loan servicing	2,241		3,245	4,873	6,624	Represents revenue from servicing third-party customers' FFELP portfolios. Over time, FFELP servicing revenue will decrease as third-party customers' FFELP portfolios pay off.
Software services	9,452		4,879	16,444	9,420	Represents revenue from providing remote hosted servicing software to certain Department and other servicers and providing diversified technology services. Increase was primarily due to the Company's recognition of revenue beginning in the second quarter of 2024 from a new remote hosted servicing customer awarded a USDS contract. The Company expects software services revenue to increase through the fourth quarter of 2025 as additional volume is transferred from the Company to this new remote hosted servicing customer at the Department's direction to stand-up and establish the new servicer.
Outsourced services	561		955	1,622	2,141	Represents revenue from providing contact center and back office operational outsourcing services.
Loan servicing and systems revenue	$	120,724	109,052	241,465	236,252

EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND PAYMENTS OPERATING SEGMENT – RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As discussed further in the Company's 2024 Annual Report, this segment of the Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations which correspond, or are related to, the traditional school year. Based on the timing of revenue recognition and when expenses are incurred, revenue and before tax operating margin are higher in the first quarter compared with the remainder of the year.

Net income	$	17,892	19,478	53,998	55,696	The Company expects net income to be impacted in 2025 compared with 2024 due to a decrease in contribution from FACTS education services as a result of the end of funding of the EANS program in 2024 as described in the revenue table below and an increase in operating expenses to support the growth in the customer base and investments in the development of new technologies.

Education technology services and payments revenue

The following table presents disaggregated revenue by service offering and before tax operating margin for each reporting period:


	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2025			2024		2025		2024		Additional information
Tuition payment plan services	$	36,013		34,164		76,085		73,043		Increase was due to a higher number of payment plans in the K-12 and higher education markets for both new and existing customers.
Payment processing	37,515			34,326		89,051		82,113		Increase was due to an increase in payment volumes for both the K-12 and higher education markets due to new customers and an increase in volume from existing customers.
Education technology services	44,481			47,205		100,177		103,227		Decrease was due to a decrease in FACTS education services revenue which resulted from the winding down of economic aid provided to private schools in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instructional services revenue provided to private schools has been funded by the Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) program. The EANS II program funding ended on September 30, 2024. Although schools still have allocated funds to spend, future instructional services revenue will be adversely impacted compared to recent historical results due to the EANS funding ending in 2024. Revenue earned under the EANS program was $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $8.8 million and $18.9 million for the same periods in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue from the Company’s professional development services, financial aid management, enrollment services, and instructional services from non-EANS funding sources.

GAAP before tax operating margin	30.0		%	33.4	%	40.0	%	42.7	%	Before tax operating margin, excluding net interest income, is a non-GAAP measure of before tax operating profitability as a percentage of revenue, and for the ETSP segment is calculated as income before income taxes less net interest income divided by net revenue. The Company uses this metric to monitor and assess the segment’s performance, manage operating costs, identify and evaluate business trends affecting the segment, and make strategic decisions, and believes that it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of the segment and provides a meaningful comparison of the results of operations between periods. Before tax operating margin, excluding net interest income, decreased due to a decrease in FACTS education services revenue and an increase in operating expenses to support the growth in the customer base and investments in the development of new technologies. Before tax operating margin will continue to be impacted by these items throughout 2025 compared with 2024.

The Company has partial ownership in certain consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan securitizations that are accounted for as held-to-maturity beneficial interest investments and included in "other investments and notes receivable, net" in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s ownership correlates to approximately $1.70 billion of loans included in these securitizations. The loans held in these securitizations are not included in the above table. Investment interest income earned by the Company from the beneficial interest in loan securitizations is included in "investment interest" on the Company's consolidated statements of income and is not a component of the Company's loan interest income.

Beginning in late 2021, the Company experienced accelerated run-off of its FFELP portfolio due to FFELP borrowers consolidating their loans into Federal Direct Loan Program loans as a result of the CARES Act payment pause on Department-held loans and the initiatives offered by the Department for FFELP borrowers to consolidate their loans to qualify for loan forgiveness under various programs. However, the Company has experienced a significant decrease in FFELP borrowers consolidating their loans into the Federal Direct Loan Program since August 2024 that has resulted in prepayment rates on the Company’s FFELP portfolio being more consistent with longer-term historical rates.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Loan Delinquencies, and Loan Charge-offs

For a summary of the allowance as a percentage of the ending balance, loan status, delinquency amounts, and other key credit quality indicators for each of AGM’s loan portfolios as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024; and the activity in AGM's allowance for loan losses and net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, see note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Loan Spread Analysis

The following table analyzes the loan spread on AGM’s portfolio of loans, which represents the spread between the yield earned on loan assets and the costs of the liabilities and derivative instruments used to fund the assets. The spread amounts included in the following table are calculated by using the notional dollar values found in the table under the caption "Net loan interest income, including settlements on derivatives" below, divided by the average balance of loans or debt outstanding.


	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2025			2024		2025		2024
Variable loan yield, gross	7.77		%	8.16	%	7.59	%	8.07	%

Fixed rate floor income, net of settlements on derivatives	0.06			0.05		0.07		0.05
Core loan spread	1.27		%	0.98	%	1.23	%	0.90	%

Average balance of AGM's loans	$	9,215,579		10,484,458		9,379,948		11,022,981
Average balance of AGM's debt outstanding	8,439,800			10,168,761		8,445,716		10,778,080

(a) Derivative settlements represent the cash paid or received during the respective period to settle with derivative instrument counterparties the economic effect of the Company's derivative instruments based on their contractual terms. Derivative accounting requires that net settlements with respect to derivatives that do not qualify for "hedge treatment" under GAAP be recorded in a separate income statement line item below net interest income. The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility. As such, management believes derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company’s net interest income (loan spread) as presented in this table. The Company reports this non-GAAP information because the Company believes that it provides additional information regarding operational and performance indicators that are closely assessed by management. There is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for the presentation of such non-GAAP information, which is only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information that management utilizes to assess performance. See note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information on the Company's Non-Nelnet Bank derivative instruments, including the net settlement activity recognized by the Company for each type of derivative for the 2025 and 2024 periods presented in the table under the caption "Consolidated Financial Statement Impact Related to Derivatives - Statements of Income" in note 5 and in this table.

A reconciliation of core loan spread, which includes the impact of derivative settlements on loan spread, to loan spread without derivative settlements follows.


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Core loan spread	1.27	%	0.98	%	1.23	%	0.90	%
Derivative settlements (basis swaps)	(0.01)		(0.01)		(0.01)		(0.01)
Derivative settlements (fixed rate floor income)	(0.02)		(0.04)		(0.02)		(0.04)
Loan spread	1.24	%	0.93	%	1.20	%	0.85	%

(b) Derivative settlements consist of net settlements received related to the Company’s basis swaps.

(c) Derivative settlements consist of net settlements received related to the Company’s floor income interest rate swaps.

The relationship between the indices in which AGM earns interest on its loans and funds such loans has a significant impact on loan spread. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk - AGM Operating Segment,” which provides additional detail on AGM’s FFELP student loan assets and related funding for those assets. In a decreasing interest rate environment, student loan spread on FFELP loans decreases in the short term because of the timing of interest rate resets on the Company's assets occurring daily in contrast to the timing of the interest rate resets on the Company's debt occurring either monthly or quarterly. This also results in student loan spread increasing in the short term in an increasing interest rate environment.

Variable loan spread was higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 due to an increase in loans funded by the Company with operating cash (versus funded with debt). As of June 30, 2025, AGM had $576.1 million (par value) of unencumbered federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loans (as compared to $253.5 million, $194.1 million, and $77.0 million as of December 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively). The difference between variable loan spread and core loan spread is fixed rate floor income earned on a portion of AGM's federally insured student loan portfolio. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk - AGM Operating Segment,” which provides additional detail on AGM's federally insured student loans earning fixed rate floor income.

Summary and Comparison of Operating Results


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024	2025	2024	Additional information
Interest income:
Loan interest	$	157,300	193,707	311,768	403,335	See table below for additional analysis.
Investment interest	12,641		13,709	25,411	35,544	Represents primarily investment interest earned on beneficial interest investments and restricted cash included in student loan securitizations and other secured borrowings. Decrease was due to a decrease of interest earned on restricted cash due to lower balances and a decrease in interest rates, which was partially offset for the three months period by an increase of interest earned on beneficial interest investments. AGM earned $7.7 million and $3.8 million of interest income on beneficial interest investments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $16.4 million and $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Total interest income	169,941		207,416	337,179	438,879
Loan interest expense	117,843		164,315	230,254	348,460	See table below for additional analysis.
Intercompany interest expense	2,223		7,317	4,115	14,077	Represents interest paid by AGM to Nelnet, Inc. (parent company) related to (i) internal borrowings to fund equity advances on certain AGM debt facilities; and (ii) AGM issued bonds held by Nelnet, Inc. Decrease was due to a decrease in interest rates and a decrease in the weighted average balance of outstanding AGM issued bonds held by Nelnet, Inc. Intercompany interest is eliminated for consolidated financial reporting purposes.
Net interest income	49,875		35,784	102,810	76,342
Less provision (negative provision) for loan losses	11,133		(4,225)	24,144	2,230	See note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for factors impacting provision (negative provision) for loan losses for the periods presented.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses	38,742		40,009	78,666	74,112


Other income, net	7,507		1,337	11,502	6,321	Represents primarily borrower late fees, income from providing administration activities for third parties, sponsor fee income, and income/losses from AGM's investment in joint ventures. See "Overview - Consolidated Results of Operations" for further detail included in other income. Increase was due to an increase in income from investments, partially offset by a decrease in borrower late fees due to the continued amortization of the Company's FFELP portfolio.
(Loss) gain on sale of loans, net	—		(1,438)	909	(1,579)	The Company recognizes gains/losses from selling portfolios of loans. See above under "Loan Activity" for loans sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Derivative settlements, net	581		1,442	1,162	2,997	The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility. Derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company's net interest income as reflected in the table below.
Derivative market value adjustments, net	(2,165)		936	(5,961)	6,642	Includes the realized and unrealized gains and losses that are caused by changes in fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for "hedge treatment" under GAAP. The majority of the derivative market value adjustments during the periods presented related to the changes in fair value of the Company's floor income interest rate swaps. Such changes reflect that a decrease in the forward yield curve during a reporting period results in a decrease in the fair value of the Company's floor income interest rate swaps, and an increase in the forward yield curve during a reporting period results in an increase in the fair value of such swaps.
Total other income, net	5,923		2,277	7,612	14,381
Salaries and benefits	1,469		1,113	2,690	2,308	Increase was due to an increase in headcount as the Company actively expands into new asset loan classes.
Servicing fees	7,102		8,541	14,013	17,492	Represents servicing fees paid to (i) third parties and (ii) LSS for the servicing of AGM’s loans. The amounts paid to LSS exceed the actual cost of servicing the loans. Decrease was due to the amortization of the FFELP student loan portfolio, the majority of which is serviced by LSS. Intercompany servicing expense of $4.8 million and $5.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $9.7 million and $12.5 million during the six months ended June 30 2025 and 2024, respectively, was eliminated for consolidated financial reporting purposes.
Other expenses	2,464		1,139	3,352	2,246	Increase was due to an increase in costs associated with the Company actively expanding into new asset loan classes.
Intersegment expenses	1,260		1,272	2,510	2,481	Includes costs for certain corporate activities and services that are allocated to each operating segment based on estimated use of such activities and services.
Total operating expenses	12,295		12,065	22,565	24,527	Total operating expenses were 53 and 46 basis points of the average balance of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 48 and 45 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Increase in expenses compared to the average balance of loans is due to upfront costs associated with the Company actively expanding into new asset classes.
Provision for beneficial interests	4,977		5,911	6,487	5,911	During the periods presented, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses (and related provision expense) related to the Company's beneficial interest in certain loan securitizations. See note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.
Total expenses	17,272		17,976	29,052	30,438
Income before income taxes	27,393		24,310	57,226	58,055
Income tax expense	(6,569)		(5,835)	(13,725)	(13,933)	Represents income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 24%.

Derivative settlements, net	163		207	327	409	Nelnet Bank uses derivatives to hedge its exposure related to variable rate deposits to minimize volatility from future changes in interest rates. Nelnet Bank has designated all of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; however, because certain hedged items are intercompany deposits, the corresponding derivative instruments are not eligible for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, changes in fair value of such derivatives are recorded through earnings and presented as "derivative market value adjustments, net" in the statements of operations. "Derivative settlements, net" represent the cash paid or received during the respective period to settle with derivative instrument counterparties the economic effect of the Company's derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting based on their contractual terms. For additional information on Nelnet Bank's derivative portfolio, see note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

(a) The Company provides investment advisory services through Whitetail Rock Capital Management, LLC (WRCM), the Company's SEC-registered investment advisor subsidiary, under various arrangements. WRCM earned management and performance fees of $1.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.0 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fees earned by WRCM are included in "other income, net" in the table above.

(b) Represents primarily the operating results of the Company’s reinsurance treaties on property and casualty policies. The increase in reinsurance premiums and associated reinsurance losses and underwriting expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in overall property volume and new business. Reinsurance losses and underwriting expenses also increased related to several commercial auto programs, which the Company has exited; however, adverse development of related expenses may continue to be recognized in future periods. All other operating expenses also increased to support the growth of this business.

(c) Represents the operating results of the Company’s real estate investments and the administrative costs to manage this portfolio. Included in "other income, net" in the table above are primarily the net losses recognized related to the Company's proportionate share of certain real estate investments accounted for under the equity method. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 also includes a realized gain of $1.6 million as a result of the sale of a certain real estate investment during the second quarter.

(d) Represents interest income earned on investment debt securities (primarily student loan and other asset-backed securities, including Nelnet-owned asset-backed securities which it has repurchased and are eliminated in consolidation), interest income on certain notes receivable, unrealized gains/losses on marketable equity securities, realized gains/losses on marketable equity securities and investment debt securities, and other costs to manage these investments. Also includes interest expense incurred on debt used to finance such investments. The decrease in investment interest income and interest expense in 2025 compared with 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment debt securities and debt outstanding, respectively, and a decrease in interest rates. As of December 31, 2024, the majority of debt used to finance such investments had been repaid. See Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Interest Rate and Market Risk - Investments," which provides additional detail on NFS's investment debt securities.

(a) Includes corporate activities related to internal audit, human resources, accounting, legal, enterprise risk management, information technology, occupancy, and marketing. These costs are allocated to each operating segment based on estimated use of such activities and services. The amount allocated to operating segments is reflected as “intersegment expenses, net” in the table above. Also includes corporate costs and overhead functions not allocated to operating segments, including executive management, investments in innovation, and other holding company organizational costs. During the second quarter 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $3.3 million related to operating lease assets as a result of the Company consolidating office space.

(b) Includes operating results of the Company's tax equity investments in renewable energy solar partnerships. The Company accounts for these investments using the HLBV method of accounting, which commonly results in accelerated losses in the initial years of the investment. In the periods presented, these HLBV net losses are offset by gains recognized from sales of certain investments at the end of the contractual agreement (typically five years). These losses are also offset by revenue earned by the Company related to management, consulting, and performance fees provided on tax equity investments syndicated to third parties. Due to the recognition pattern (accelerated losses in initial years and gains upon sale at the end of the contractual agreement), these investments may create volatility in earnings. For additional information on the results of this operating segment, see note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

(c) Nelnet Renewable Energy (NRE) is the Company’s solar construction business that provides full-service engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services to commercial entities. The Company entered this business from its acquisition of 80% of GRNE Solar in June 2022. On June 30, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of GRNE Solar for $0.3 million.

Since the acquisition of GRNE Solar, NRE has incurred low and, in many cases, negative margins on legacy projects. The Company has a handful of remaining legacy construction contracts it is obligated to complete, down from over 30 at the beginning of 2024. During the second quarter 2025, NRE recognized $12.9 million in contract loss reserves that represents NRE's estimate of costs it will incur to complete the remaining legacy contracts. The loss reserve expense is included in "costs to provide solar construction services" in the table above. In addition, uncertain economic conditions and legislation activity have impacted new construction projects being initiated which has adversely impacted and will continue to adversely impact revenue. See Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this report for additional information on the adverse impacts on NRE's business related to the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

(d) Represents primarily the Company's share of loss on its voting membership interest and income on its preferred membership interests in ALLO. For additional information on the results of these investments, see note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

On June 4, 2025, the Company redeemed a portion of its voting membership interests in ALLO and all its outstanding preferred membership interests, including the preferred return accrued on such membership interests through June 3, 2025, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $175.0 million as a result of this transaction. See note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

(e) Represents the operating results of the Company’s venture capital investments, including Hudl which the Company accounts for using the measurement alternative method, and the administrative costs to manage this portfolio. These investments may create volatility in earnings from recognizing results of certain equity method investees, periodic adjustment of certain fund investments to their respective fair value, and, when applicable, observable price changes on certain measurement alternative investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s Loan Servicing and Systems, and Education Technology Services and Payments operating segments are non-capital intensive and both produce positive operating cash flows. As such, a minimal amount of debt and equity capital is allocated to these segments and any liquidity or capital needs are satisfied using cash flow from operations.

Therefore, the Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion is concentrated on the Company’s liquidity and capital needs to meet existing debt obligations in the Nelnet Financial Services division, which includes the Asset Generation and Management and Nelnet Bank reportable operating segments, and the Company's other initiatives to pursue additional strategic investments. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (the "Bill") was enacted into law. Among other substantial changes to the tax code, the Bill makes numerous changes to the federal student loan program. Graduate students and parents of undergraduates will be subject to new caps on federal lending. Overall, we expect these changes will boost privatization of student lending and may create opportunities for the Company to expand its private education loan originations and acquisitions.

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's sources of liquidity included:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	225,753
Less: Cash and cash equivalents held at Nelnet Bank (a)	(16,741)
Net cash and cash equivalents	209,012

Available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities (investments) - at fair value	1,202,980
Less: AFS debt securities held at Nelnet Bank - at fair value (a)	(705,139)
AFS private education and consumer loan debt securities - held as risk retention - at fair value (b)	(206,543)
Restricted investments (c)	(121,914)
Unencumbered AFS debt securities (investments) - at fair value	169,384

Unencumbered federally insured, private, consumer, and other loans (Non-Nelnet Bank) - at par	576,072

Unencumbered repurchased Nelnet issued asset-backed debt securities - at par (not included on consolidated financial statements) (d)	238,840



Unused capacity on unsecured line of credit (e)	495,000

Sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2025	$	1,688,308

(a) Cash and investments held at Nelnet Bank are generally not available for Company activities outside of Nelnet Bank.

(b) The Company is sponsor for certain private education and consumer loan securitizations and as sponsor, is required to provide a certain level of risk retention. To satisfy this requirement, the Company has purchased bonds issued in the securitizations. The majority of the purchased bonds reflected in the table above relate to private education loan securitizations. For these securitizations, the Company is required to retain these bonds until the latest of (i) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans in the securitization is 33% or less of the initial loan balance, and (ii) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the bonds is 33% or less of the aggregate initial outstanding principal balance of the bonds, at which time the Company can sell these bonds to a third party. The Company estimates these bonds will be restricted from trading until approximately the first half of 2027.

(d) The Company has repurchased certain of its own asset-backed securities (bonds and notes payable) in the secondary market. For accounting purposes, these notes are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, these securities remain legally outstanding at the trust level and the Company could sell these notes to third parties, redeem the notes at par as cash is generated by the trust estate, or pledge the securities as collateral on repurchase agreements. Upon a sale of these notes to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale.

(e) The Company has a $495.0 million unsecured line of credit that matures on September 22, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, there was no amount outstanding on the unsecured line of credit and $495.0 million was available for future use.

The Company intends to use its liquidity position to capitalize on market opportunities, including FFELP, private education, consumer, and other loan acquisitions (or investment interests therein); strategic acquisitions and investments; and capital management initiatives, including stock repurchases, debt repurchases, and dividend distributions. The timing and size of these opportunities will vary and will have a direct impact on the Company's cash and investment balances.

Recent Development - Partial Redemption of ALLO Investment

Cash Flows

The Company has historically generated positive cash flow from operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated $172.9 million and $345.3 million, respectively, in cash from operating activities. The decrease in 2025 compared with 2024 was due to:

•Adjustments to net income for certain non-cash items, including the gain recognized on the partial redemption of the Company's ALLO investment, deferred income tax benefit, loan discount and deferred lender fees accretion, and gain/loss on investments; and

•The impact of changes to accrued interest receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.

These factors were partially offset by:

•An increase in net income;

•Adjustments to net income for the non-cash change in derivative market value adjustments and provision for loan losses; and

•The impact of changes to other liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.

The primary items included in the statement of cash flows for investing activities are the purchase, origination, repayment, and sale of loans, the purchase and sale of available-for-sale securities, and the purchase and sale of other investments. During June 2025, the Company received cash proceeds of $410.9 million from the redemption of its membership interests in ALLO. The proceeds from the ALLO redemption are included in investing activities on the statement of cash flows. The primary items included in financing activities are the payments on bonds and notes payable, the change in deposits at Nelnet Bank used to fund loans and investment activity at Nelnet Bank, and the change in due to customers. Cash provided by investing activities and used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $709.8 million and $1.01 billion, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities and used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.82 billion and $2.25 billion, respectively. Investing and financing activities are further addressed in the discussion that follows.

Liquidity Needs and Sources of Liquidity Available to Satisfy Debt Obligations Secured by Loan Assets and Related Collateral - AGM Operating Segment

The following table shows AGM's debt obligations outstanding that are secured by loan assets and related collateral:


	As of June 30, 2025
	Carrying amount		Final maturity
Bonds and notes issued in asset-backed securitizations	$	7,338,061	8/26/30 - 9/25/69
FFELP and consumer loan warehouse facilities	621,339		7/31/26 - 2/29/28
	$	7,959,400

Bonds and Notes Issued in Asset-backed Securitizations

The majority of AGM’s portfolio of student loans is funded in asset-backed securitizations that are structured to substantially match the maturity of the funded assets, thereby minimizing liquidity risk. Cash generated from student loans funded in asset-backed securitizations provides the source of liquidity to satisfy all obligations related to the outstanding bonds and notes issued in such securitizations. In addition, due to (i) the difference between the yield AGM receives on the loans and cost of financing within these transactions, and (ii) the servicing and administration fees that AGM earns from these transactions, AGM has created a portfolio that will generate earnings and significant cash flow over the life of these transactions.

As of June 30, 2025, based on cash flow models developed to reflect management’s current estimate of, among other factors, prepayments, defaults, deferment, forbearance, and interest rates, AGM expects future undiscounted cash flows from its portfolio to be approximately $1.07 billion as detailed below. The actual timing of cash flows released from the securitizations could be impacted based on when and if the Company terminates a securitization by exercising clean-up calls on the underlying securities when the assets in such securitization reach a certain threshold.

The forecasted cash flow presented below includes loans funded in asset-backed securitizations as of June 30, 2025, the majority of which are federally insured student loans. As of June 30, 2025, AGM had $7.9 billion of loans included in asset-backed securitizations, which represented 88.7% of its total loan portfolio. The forecasted cash flow does not include cash flows that the Company expects to receive in relation to loans funded in its warehouse facilities, unencumbered federally insured, private education, consumer, and other loans funded with operating cash, its ownership of beneficial interest in loan securitizations (such beneficial interest investments are classified as "other investments and notes receivable, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets), loans acquired subsequent to June 30, 2025, and loans owned by Nelnet Bank.

Asset-backed Securitization Cash Flow Forecast

$1.07 billion

(dollars in millions)

The forecasted future undiscounted cash flows of approximately $1.07 billion include approximately $0.74 billion (as of June 30, 2025) of overcollateralization included in the asset-backed securitizations. These excess net asset positions are included in the consolidated balance sheets in the balances of "loans and accrued interest receivable, net" and "restricted cash." The difference between the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the overcollateralization of approximately $0.33 billion, or approximately $0.25 billion after income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rate, represents estimated future net interest income (earnings) from the portfolio and is expected to be accretive to the Company's balance of consolidated shareholders' equity from the June 30, 2025 balance.

The Company uses various assumptions, including prepayments and future interest rates, when preparing its cash flow forecast. These assumptions are further discussed below.

Prepayments: The primary variables in establishing a life of loan estimate are the level and timing of prepayments. Prepayment rates equal the amount of loans that prepay annually as a percentage of the beginning-of-period balance, net of scheduled principal payments. A number of factors can affect estimated prepayment rates, including the level of consolidation activity, borrower default rates, and utilization of debt management options such as income-based repayment, deferments, and forbearance. Should any of these factors change, management may revise its assumptions, which in turn would impact the projected future cash flow. The Company’s cash flow forecast above assumes prepayment rates of 6% for both federally insured consolidation and Stafford loans. Prepayment rates for private education loans range from 11% to 20%.

Beginning in late 2021, the Company experienced accelerated run-off (prepayments) of its FFELP portfolio due to FFELP borrowers consolidating their loans into Federal Direct Loan Program loans to qualify for loan forgiveness under various initiatives and programs offered by the federal government and the Department. However, the Company has experienced a significant decrease in FFELP borrowers consolidating their loans into the Federal Direct Loan Program since August 2024 that has resulted in prepayment rates on the Company’s FFELP portfolio being more consistent with longer-term historical rates.

The following table summarizes the estimated impact to the above forecasted cash flows if prepayments were greater than the prepayment rate assumptions used to calculate the forecasted cash flows:

Increase in prepayment rate

Reduction in forecasted cash flow from table above

Forecasted cash flow using increased prepayment rate

$0.08 billion

$0.99 billion

$0.20 billion

$0.87 billion

If the entire AGM student loan portfolio was prepaid, the Company would receive the full amount of overcollateralization included in the asset-backed securitizations of approximately $0.74 billion (as of June 30, 2025); however, the Company would not receive the $0.33 billion ($0.25 billion after tax) of estimated future earnings from the portfolio.

Interest rates: The Company funds a portion of its student loans with floating rate securities that are indexed to 90-day SOFR. Meanwhile, the interest earned on the Company’s student loan assets is indexed primarily to the 30-day average SOFR in effect for each day in a calendar quarter. The different interest rate characteristics of the Company’s loan assets and liabilities funding these assets result in basis risk. The Company’s cash flow forecast assumes, for the life of the portfolio, a relationship between the various SOFR indices that is implied by the current forward SOFR curves. If the forecast is computed assuming a spread of an additional 12 basis points between 3-month Term SOFR and 30-day average SOFR for the life of the portfolio, the cash flow forecast would be reduced by approximately $5 million to $15 million.

The Company uses the current forward interest rate yield curve to forecast cash flows. A change in the forward interest rate curve would impact the future cash flows generated from the portfolio. See Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Interest Rate Risk — AGM Operating Segment" for additional information about various interest rate risks which may impact future cash flows from AGM's loan assets.

Warehouse Facilities

Warehousing allows the Company to buy and manage loans prior to transferring them into more permanent financing arrangements. For a summary of the Company's warehouse facilities outstanding as of June 30, 2025, see note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Upon termination or expiration of the warehouse facilities, the Company would expect to access the securitization market, obtain replacement warehouse facilities, use operating cash, consider the sale of assets, or transfer collateral to satisfy any remaining obligations.

Asset-backed Securities Transactions

The Company, through its subsidiaries, has historically funded loans by completing asset-backed securitizations. Depending on market conditions, the Company anticipates continuing to access the asset-backed securitization market. Such asset-backed securitization transactions would be used to refinance loans included in its warehouse facilities and existing asset-backed securitizations and/or finance loans purchased from third parties and loans that are currently unencumbered.

There were no asset-backed securitization transactions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Other Uses of Liquidity

Subsequent to the Reconciliation Act of 2010, the Company no longer originates FFELP loans but continues to acquire FFELP loan portfolios from third parties and believes additional loan purchase opportunities exist, including opportunities to purchase private education, consumer, and other loans (or investment interests therein).

The Company plans to fund additional loan acquisitions and related investments using current cash; cash provided by operating activities; proceeds from the sale of certain investments; its unsecured line of credit, its Union Bank student loan participation agreement, and its Union Bank student loan asset-backed securities participation agreement (each as described below), and/or establishing similar secured and unsecured borrowing facilities; using its existing warehouse facilities (as described above); increasing the capacity under existing and/or establishing new warehouse facilities; and continuing to access the asset-backed securities market.

Union Bank Participation Agreements

The Company maintains an agreement with Union Bank, a related party, as trustee for various grantor trusts, under which Union Bank has agreed to purchase from the Company participation interests in student loans. As of June 30, 2025, $583.2 million of loans were subject to outstanding participation interests held by Union Bank, as trustee, under this agreement. The agreement automatically renews annually and is terminable by either party upon five business days' notice. This agreement provides beneficiaries of Union Bank’s grantor trusts with access to investments in interests in student loans, while providing liquidity to the Company. The Company can sell participation interests in loans to Union Bank to the extent of availability under the grantor trusts, up to $900.0 million or an amount in excess of $900.0 million if mutually agreed to by both parties. Loans participated under this agreement have been accounted for by the Company as loan sales. Accordingly, the participation interests sold are not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also has an agreement with Union Bank under which Union Bank has agreed to purchase from the Company participation interests in FFELP loan asset-backed securities (bond investments). The agreement automatically renews annually and is terminable by either party upon five business days' notice. The Company can participate FFELP loan asset-backed securities to Union Bank to the extent of availability under the grantor trusts, up to $400.0 million or an amount in excess of $400.0 million if mutually agreed to by both parties. The Company maintains legal ownership of the FFELP loan asset-backed securities and, in its discretion, approves and accomplishes any sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance, or other disposition of the securities. As such, the FFELP loan asset-backed securities subject to this agreement are included on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as "investments at fair value" and the participation interests outstanding have been accounted for by the Company as a secured borrowing. As of June 30, 2025, $0.1 million (par value) of FFELP loan asset-backed securities were subject to outstanding participation interests held by Union Bank, as trustee, under this agreement.

Liquidity Impact Related to Beneficial Interest in Loan Securitizations

The Company has partial ownership in consumer, private education, and federally insured student loan third-party securitizations that are classified as "beneficial interest in loan securitizations" and included in "other investments and notes receivable, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. These residual interests were acquired by the Company or have been received by the Company as consideration from selling portfolios of loans to unrelated third parties who securitized such loans. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to or as of June 30, 2025, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $1.70 billion of loans included in these securitizations. Investment interest income earned by the Company from the beneficial interest in loan securitizations is included in "investment interest" on the Company's consolidated statements of income and is not a component of the Company's loan interest income.

As of June 30, 2025, the investment balance on the Company's consolidated balance sheet of its beneficial interest in loan securitizations was $190.9 million. For a summary of this investment balance, see note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

The Company's partial ownership percentage in each loan securitization grants the Company the right to receive the corresponding percentage of cash flows generated by the securitization. As of June 30, 2025, based on cash flow models developed to reflect management’s current estimate of, among other factors, prepayments, defaults, deferment, forbearance, and interest rates, the Company currently expects future undiscounted cash flows from its partial ownership in these securitizations to be approximately $279.7 million. The vast majority of these cash flows are expected to be received over the next 5 years.

The difference between the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows from these residual interests ($279.7 million) and the investment carrying value ($190.9 million) of $88.8 million, or $67.5 million after income taxes based on the estimated effective tax rate, represents estimated future investment interest income (earnings) from these investments and is expected to be accretive to the Company's balance of consolidated shareholders' equity from the June 30, 2025 balance.

The undiscounted future cash flows from the consumer and private education loan securitizations are highly subject to credit risk (defaults). If defaults are higher than management's current estimate, the forecasted cash flows and estimated future investment interest income (earnings) from these securitizations would be adversely impacted.

Sources and Needs of Liquidity - Nelnet Bank

Sources of Liquidity

Nelnet Bank launched operations in November 2020. Nelnet Bank was funded by the Company with an initial capital contribution of $100 million and the Company made a pledged deposit of $40.0 million with Nelnet Bank, as required under an agreement with the FDIC as discussed below. The Company has contributed an additional $118 million, including $42 million of private education loans, to Nelnet Bank since its inception. Based on Nelnet Bank's business plan for growth and current financial condition, the Company believes it will make additional capital contributions to the bank in future periods. Nelnet Bank also has unsecured Federal Funds lines of credit with correspondent banks and has established accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The growth of Nelnet Bank is primarily driven by its ability to achieve loan growth goals while sustaining credit quality and maintaining cost-efficient funding sources to support its loan growth.

Deposits

Nelnet Bank utilizes brokered, retail, and other deposits to meet its funding needs and enhance its liquidity position. The deposits can be term or liquid deposits. The term deposits have terms from three months to ten years. Retail, commercial, and institutional deposits are sourced through a direct banking platform and a deposit marketplace and provide diversified funding sources. Brokered deposits are sourced through a network of brokers and provide a stable source of funding. In addition, Nelnet Bank accepts certain deposits considered non-brokered that are held in large accounts structured to allow FDIC insurance to flow through to underlying individual depositors.

The deposits are diversified with deposits from Educational 529 College Savings and Health Savings plans, STFIT, and FDIC sweep deposits.

Regulatory Capital

Prior to Nelnet Bank’s launch of operations, Nelnet Bank, Nelnet, Inc. (the parent), and Michael S. Dunlap (Nelnet, Inc.’s controlling shareholder) entered into a Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement and a Parent Company Agreement with the FDIC in connection with Nelnet, Inc.’s role as a source of financial strength for Nelnet Bank. As part of the Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement, Nelnet, Inc. is obligated to (i) contribute capital to Nelnet Bank for it to maintain capital levels that meet FDIC requirements for a “well capitalized” bank, including a leverage ratio of capital to total assets of at least 12%; (ii) provide and maintain an irrevocable asset liquidity takeout commitment for the benefit of Nelnet Bank in an amount equal to the greater of either 10% of Nelnet Bank’s total assets or such additional amount as agreed to by Nelnet Bank and Nelnet, Inc.; (iii) provide additional liquidity to Nelnet Bank in such amount and duration as may be necessary for Nelnet Bank to meet its ongoing liquidity obligations; and (iv) establish and maintain a pledged deposit of $40.0 million with Nelnet Bank. As of June 30, 2025, Nelnet Bank's leverage ratio of capital to total assets was 12.8%.

Liquidity Impact Related to Solar Tax Equity Investments

The Company makes solar tax equity investments in renewable energy solar partnerships that support the development and operations of solar projects. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has funded a total of $300.6 million in tax equity investments which remain outstanding for itself and $285.8 million on behalf of its syndication partners, for a funded total of $586.4 million. These investments provide a federal income tax credit under the Internal Revenue Code, currently equaling 30% to 70% of the eligible project cost, with the tax credit available when the project is placed in service. The Company is then allowed to reduce its tax estimates paid to the U.S. Treasury based on the credits earned. In addition to the credits, the Company structures the investments to receive quarterly distributions of cash from the operating earnings of the solar project for a period of at least five years after the project is placed in service. After that period, the contractual agreements typically provide for the Company’s entire interest in the projects to be sold at the fair market value of the discounted forecasted future cash flows allocable to the Company. Based on the timing of when the Company funds a project and decreases its tax estimate to the U.S. Treasury due to earning of the tax credit, the net amount of capital funded to solar tax equity investments at any point in time is not significant and has a minimal impact on the Company’s liquidity. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is committed to fund an additional $63.5 million directly in solar tax equity investments and $115.7 million will be funded by its syndication partners, for a total commitment of $179.2 million.

Liquidity Impact Related to Hedging Activities

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage interest rate sensitivity. By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk which could impact its liquidity.

All Non-Nelnet Bank over-the-counter derivative contracts executed by the Company are cleared post-execution at a regulated clearinghouse. Clearing is a process by which a third party, the clearinghouse, steps in between the original counterparties and guarantees the performance of both, by requiring that each post liquid collateral on an initial (initial margin) and mark-to-market (variation margin) basis to cover the clearinghouse’s potential future exposure in the event of default. Nelnet Bank derivative contracts have protection against counterparty risk provided by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements. The agreements require collateral to be exchanged based on the net fair value of derivatives with each counterparty. The Company’s exposure related to the Nelnet Bank derivatives is limited to the value of the derivative contracts in a gain position, less any collateral held by us.

Based on the derivative portfolio outstanding as of June 30, 2025, the Company does not anticipate any movement in interest rates having a material impact on its capital or liquidity profile, nor does the Company expect that any movement in interest rates would have a material impact on its ability to make variation margin payments to its third-party clearinghouse and/or payments to its counterparties for its non-centrally cleared derivatives.

Unsecured Line of Credit

As discussed above, the Company has a $495.0 million unsecured line of credit with a maturity date of September 22, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the unsecured line of credit had no amount outstanding and $495.0 million was available for future use. Upon the maturity date of this facility, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain this line of credit, increase or maintain the amount outstanding under the line, or find alternative funding if necessary.

Stock Repurchases

In 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to a total of five million shares of the Company's Class A common stock during the three-year period ended May 8, 2025. That program expired on May 8, 2025. On May 8, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to a total of five million shares of the Company's Class A common stock during the three-year period ending May 8, 2028. The five million shares authorized under the new program include the remaining unpurchased shares from the prior program, which the new program replaces. As of June 30, 2025, 4,822,191 shares remained authorized for repurchase under the Company's stock repurchase program. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, in private transactions (including with related parties), or otherwise, depending on various factors, including share prices and other potential uses of liquidity.

Shares repurchased by the Company during the first half of 2025 are shown below. Certain of these repurchases were made pursuant to trading plans adopted by the Company in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For additional information on stock repurchases during the second quarter of 2025, see "Stock Repurchases" under Part II, Item 2 of this report.


	Total shares repurchased	Purchase price (in thousands)		Average price of shares repurchased (per share) (a)

Quarter ended June 30, 2025	183,554	21,360		116.37

Total	222,045	$	25,818	116.28

(a) The average price of shares repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 includes excise taxes.

Dividends

On June 16, 2025, the Company paid a second quarter 2025 cash dividend on the Company's Class A and Class B common stock of $0.28 per share. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors has declared a third quarter 2025 cash dividend on the Company's outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock of $0.30 per share. The third quarter cash dividend will be paid on September 16, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2025.

The Company plans to continue making regular quarterly dividend payments, subject to future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under varying assumptions or conditions. Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly as they relate to accounting policies that management believes are most “critical” — that is, they are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and they require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has identified the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy and estimate, as discussed further under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates – Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. For additional information regarding changes in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, see the caption “Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses” in note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policy and estimate since December 31, 2024.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued accounting guidance to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025 annual financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company intends to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for the year ending December 31, 2025. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued accounting guidance to increase disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about types of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions. This guidance will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

There are no other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting pronouncements which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(All dollars are in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include assets and liabilities whose fair values are subject to market risks, primarily interest rate risk. The following sections address the interest rate risk associated with our relevant business activities.

Interest Rate Risk - AGM Operating Segment

AGM’s primary market risk exposure arises from fluctuations in its borrowing and lending rates, the spread between which could impact AGM due to shifts in market interest rates.

The following table sets forth AGM’s loan assets and debt instruments by rate characteristics:


	As of June 30, 2025				As of December 31, 2024
	Dollars		Percent		Dollars		Percent
Fixed-rate loan assets	$	948,581	10.6	%	$	814,843	9.1	%
Variable-rate loan assets	7,986,588		89.4		8,141,025		90.9
Total	$	8,935,169	100.0	%	$	8,955,868	100.0	%

Fixed-rate debt instruments	$	361,495	4.5	%	$	399,994	4.8	%
Variable-rate debt instruments	7,599,856		95.5		7,958,357		95.2
Total	$	7,961,351	100.0	%	$	8,358,351	100.0	%

FFELP loans originated prior to April 1, 2006 generally earn interest at the higher of the borrower rate, which is fixed over a period of time, or a floating rate based on the special allowance payment (SAP) formula set by the Department. The SAP rate is based on an applicable index plus a fixed spread that depends on loan type, origination date, and repayment status. The Company generally finances its FFELP student loan portfolio with variable rate debt. In low and/or declining interest rate environments, when the fixed borrower rate is higher than the SAP rate, the Company’s FFELP student loans earn at a fixed rate while the interest on the variable rate debt typically continues to reflect the low and/or declining interest rates. In these interest rate environments, the Company may earn additional spread income that it refers to as floor income.

Depending on the type of loan and when it was originated, the borrower rate is either fixed to term or is reset to an annual rate each July 1. As a result, for loans where the borrower rate is fixed to term, the Company may earn floor income for an extended period of time, which the Company refers to as fixed rate floor income, and for those loans where the borrower rate is reset annually on July 1, the Company may earn floor income to the next reset date, which the Company refers to as variable rate floor income. All FFELP loans first originated on or after April 1, 2006 effectively earn at the SAP rate, since lenders are required to rebate fixed rate floor income and variable rate floor income for those loans to the Department.

The Company earned no variable-rate floor income in 2025 or 2024.

The following table shows AGM’s federally insured student loan assets that were earning fixed rate floor income as of June 30, 2025:


Fixed interest rate range	Borrower/lender weighted average yield	Estimated variable conversion rate (a)	Loan balance









7.0 - 7.49%	7.31%	4.67%	$	19,777
7.5 - 7.99%	7.72%	5.08%	88,309
8.0 - 8.99%	8.18%	5.54%	216,744
> 9.0%	9.06%	6.42%	86,002
			$	410,832

(a) The estimated variable conversion rate is the estimated short-term interest rate at which loans would convert to a variable rate. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average estimated variable conversion rate was 5.58% and the short-term interest rate was 452 basis points.

Absent the use of derivative instruments, a rise in interest rates will reduce the amount of floor income received and has an impact on earnings due to interest margin compression caused by increasing financing costs, until such time as the federally insured loans earn interest at a variable rate in accordance with their SAP formulas. In higher interest rate environments, where the interest rate rises above the borrower rate and fixed rate loans effectively become variable rate loans, the impact of the rate fluctuations is reduced.

A summary of fixed rate floor income earned by the AGM operating segment follows.


	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024	2025		2024
Fixed rate floor income, gross	$	997	159	$	1,972	338
Derivative settlements (a)	427		1,193	855		2,383
Fixed rate floor income, net	$	1,424	1,352	$	2,827	2,721

(a) Derivative settlements consist of settlements received related to the Company's derivatives used to hedge student loans earning fixed rate floor income.

For further details of the Company’s derivatives used to hedge fixed rate loans, see note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

AGM is also exposed to interest rate risk in the form of repricing risk and basis risk because the interest rate characteristics of AGM’s assets do not match the interest rate characteristics of the funding for those assets. The following table presents AGM’s FFELP student loan assets and related funding for those assets arranged by underlying indices as of June 30, 2025:


Index	Frequency of variable resets	Assets		Funding of student loan assets
30-day average SOFR (a)	Daily	$	7,865,701	—
3-month Treasury bill	Daily	252,964		—
3-month H15 financial commercial paper	Daily	248,420		—
30-day average SOFR / 1-month CME Term SOFR	Monthly	—		4,711,755
90-day average SOFR / 3-month CME Term SOFR (a)	Quarterly	—		1,900,089
Asset-backed commercial paper / SOFR (b)	Varies	—		553,313
Fixed rate	—	—		324,392
Auction-rate (c)	Varies	—		321,880
Other (d)	—	798,880		1,354,536
		$	9,165,965	9,165,965

(a) The Company has certain basis swaps outstanding in which the Company receives payments indexed to three-month SOFR and makes payments based on the one-month SOFR index (plus or minus a spread) as defined in the agreements (the "Basis Swaps"). The Company entered into these derivative instruments to better match the interest rate characteristics on its student loan assets and the debt funding such assets. The following table summarizes the Basis Swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2025:


Maturity	Notional amount
2026	$	1,150,000
2027	250,000










	$	1,400,000

(b) The interest rate on the Company's FFELP warehouse facilities is indexed to asset-backed commercial paper rates and daily SOFR.

(c) As of June 30, 2025, the Company was sponsor for $321.9 million of outstanding asset-backed securities that were set and provide for interest rates to be periodically reset via a "dutch auction" (the “Auction Rate Securities”). Since the auction feature has essentially been inoperable for substantially all auction rate securities since 2008, the Auction Rate Securities generally pay interest to the holder at a maximum rate as defined by the indenture. While these rates will vary, they will generally be based on a spread to SOFR or Treasury Securities, or the Net Loan Rate as defined in the financing documents.

(d) Assets include accrued interest receivable and restricted cash. Funding represents overcollateralization (equity) and other liabilities included in FFELP loan asset-backed securitizations and warehouse facilities.

The following table summarizes the effect on the Company’s consolidated earnings based upon a sensitivity analysis performed on AGM’s variable rate assets (including loans earning fixed rate floor income) and liabilities. The sensitivity analysis was performed assuming the funding index increases 10 basis points and 30 basis points while holding the asset index constant, if the funding index is different than the asset index.

Interest Rate Risk - Nelnet Bank

To manage Nelnet Bank's risk from fluctuations in market interest rates, the Company actively monitors interest rates and other interest sensitive components to minimize the impact that changes in interest rates have on the fair value of assets, net income, and cash flow. To achieve this objective, the Company manages and mitigates Nelnet Bank’s exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through several techniques, including managing the maturity, repricing, and mix of fixed and variable rate assets and liabilities and the use of derivative instruments.

The following table presents Nelnet Bank's loan assets, asset-backed security investments, deposits (including intercompany deposits), and debt instruments by rate characteristics:


	As of June 30, 2025				As of December 31, 2024
	Dollars		Percent		Dollars		Percent
Fixed-rate loan assets	$	569,977			$	505,539
Fixed-rate investments	93,679				90,303
Total fixed-rate assets	663,656		38.2	%	595,842		42.8	%
Variable-rate loan assets	257,664				139,058
Variable-rate investments	815,051				656,794
Total variable-rate assets	1,072,715		61.8		795,852		57.2
Total assets	$	1,736,371	100.0	%	$	1,391,694	100.0	%

Fixed-rate deposits	$	469,123	30.6	%	$	449,706	35.8	%
Variable-rate deposits (a)	1,062,772		69.4		804,916		64.2


Total deposits	$	1,531,895	100.0	%	$	1,254,622	100.0	%

(a) Nelnet Bank uses derivative instruments to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows of variable rate deposits to minimize the exposure to volatility in cash flows from future changes in interest rates. The derivatives are not reflected in the above table. See note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for a summary of Nelnet Bank's derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

Interest Rate and Market Risk - Investments

The following table presents the rates earned on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities (investments) and debt facilities used to fund a portion of such investments. The table below excludes securities (investments) held by Nelnet Bank.




	Average balance		Interest income/ expense	Average yields/ rates		Average balance		Interest income/ expense	Average yields/ rates

	$	100	2	4.03		$	132,192	4,435	6.73

(a) The Company has repurchased certain of its own asset-backed securities (bonds and notes payable) in the secondary market. For accounting purposes, these notes are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, these securities remain legally outstanding at the trust level and the Company could sell these notes to third parties or redeem the notes at par as cash is generated by the trust estate. Upon a sale of these notes to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale. The table above includes these repurchased bonds.

(b) The majority of the Company’s asset-backed securities earn floating rates with expected returns of approximately SOFR + 100 to 250 basis points to maturity. As of June 30, 2025, $208.6 million (par value) of the Company’s asset-backed securities earn a weighted average fixed rate of 3.47%.

(c) Interest incurred by the Company on amounts borrowed under the participation agreement is at a variable rate of SOFR + 62.5 basis points.

(d) Interest incurred by the Company on amounts that were borrowed under repurchase agreements were at a variable rate of SOFR + 100 to 140 basis points.

The Company’s portfolio of asset-backed investment securities has limited liquidity, and the Company could incur a significant loss if the investments were sold prior to maturity at an amount less than the original purchase price. As of June 30, 2025, the gross unrealized loss on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities (including available-for-sale securities held at Nelnet Bank) was $22.7 million, and the aggregate fair value of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses was $534.6 million. The Company currently has the intent and ability to retain these investments, and none of the unrealized losses were due to credit losses. See note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Consolidated Sensitivity Analysis

The following table summarizes the effect on the Company’s consolidated earnings, based upon a sensitivity analysis performed on the Company’s significant interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities assuming hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates of 100 basis points and 300 basis points, while funding spreads remain constant:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material changes from the information referred to in the Legal Proceedings section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under Part I, Item 3 of such Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the section entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors," describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. The information presented below supplements such risk factors. The risk factor set forth below should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects.

Our solar tax equity investments and our solar construction businesses may be impacted by the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (the “Bill”) was enacted into law. Among other substantial changes to the tax code, the Bill significantly reduces tax incentives for clean energy, eliminating or phasing out many of the environmental and clean energy tax credits for commercial projects enabled by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Prior to the enactment of the Bill, many of those credits were scheduled to remain in effect until 2032 or later. The Bill accelerates the expiration and phasing out of certain clean energy credits. Under the provisions of the Bill, commercial solar facilities must either (i) begin construction before July 4, 2026, in which case they would qualify for up to a four-year continuity safe harbor or (ii) be placed in service by December 31, 2027. The accelerated expiration and phasing out of solar tax credits implemented by the Bill will impact our ability to continue to invest in solar projects beyond the phase out periods. In addition, the Bill introduced complex new “foreign entity of concern” restrictions on solar projects that begin construction after 2025. These new restrictions may adversely impact supply chain costs and availability for solar projects, as well as compliance-related costs, which may further adversely impact solar project viability and risk. These changes in aggregate both limit the viability of solar investments themselves as well as the total pool of credits from which our tax equity opportunities are created.

During the second quarter 2025, given uncertainty around the pending Bill and tariffs, as well as rising construction costs, NRE did not accept any new contracts in our solar construction business. The accelerated expiration and phasing out of solar tax credits implemented by the Bill will adversely impact revenue in our solar construction business due to the reduction of economic incentives for solar development leading to lower deployment rates and more project cancellations. We are exploring strategic alternatives for NRE.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Stock Repurchases

The following table summarizes the repurchases of Class A common stock during the second quarter of 2025 by the Company or any “affiliated purchaser” of the Company, as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain share repurchases included in the table below were made pursuant to a trading plan adopted by the Company in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Period	Total number of shares purchased (a)	Average price paid per share (b)		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programs (c)	Maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the plans or programs (c)
April 1 - April 30, 2025	122	$	102.78	—	3,341,735
May 1 - May 31, 2025	52,395	117.00		52,156	4,947,844
June 1 - June 30, 2025	131,037	115.51		125,653	4,822,191
Total	183,554	$	115.93	177,809

(a) The total number of shares includes: (i) shares repurchased pursuant to the stock repurchase program discussed in footnote (c) below; and (ii) shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted shares. Shares of Class A common stock tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations included 122, 239, and 5,384 in April, May and June 2025, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations were purchased at the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of vesting.

(b) The average price of shares repurchased excludes excise taxes.

(c) On May 9, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to a total of five million shares of the Company's Class A common stock during the three-year period ended May 8, 2025. That program expired on May 8, 2025. On May 8, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to a total of five million shares of the Company's Class A common stock during the three-year period ending May 8, 2028. The five million shares authorized under the new program include the remaining unpurchased shares from the prior program, which the new program replaces. As of June 30, 2025, 4,822,191 remained authorized for repurchase under the Company's new program.

Working capital and dividend restrictions/limitations

The Company's $495.0 million unsecured line of credit, which is available through September 22, 2026, imposes restrictions on the payment of dividends through covenants requiring a minimum consolidated net worth and a minimum level of unencumbered cash, cash equivalent investments, and available borrowing capacity under the line of credit. In addition, trust indentures and other financing agreements governing debt issued by the Company's lending subsidiaries generally have limitations on the amounts of funds that can be transferred to the Company by its subsidiaries through cash dividends at certain times. Further, Nelnet Bank and Nelnet Insurance Services' consolidated captive insurance companies are subject to laws and regulations that restrict the ability to pay dividends to the Company, and authorize regulatory authorities to prohibit or limit the payment of dividends by these subsidiaries to the Company. These provisions do not currently materially limit the Company's ability to pay dividends, and, based on the Company's current financial condition and recent results of operations, the Company does not currently anticipate that these provisions will materially limit the future payment of dividends.
