Basis of Financial Reporting | Basis of Financial ReportingThe accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report"). |

Loans and Accrued Interest Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses | Loans and Accrued Interest Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses Loans and accrued interest receivable consisted of the following:
On May 14, 2021 and September 29, 2021, the Company sold $77.4 million (par value) and $18.4 million (par value) of consumer loans, respectively, to an unrelated third party who securitized such loans. The Company recognized a gain of $15.3 million (pre-tax) and $3.2 million (pre-tax), respectively, as part of these transactions. As partial consideration received for the consumer loans sold, the Company received a 24.5 percent and 6.9 percent residual interest, respectively, in the consumer loan securitizations that are included in "investments" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses The following table presents the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment.
a) During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company acquired $64.6 million (par value), $137.5 million (par value), $153.3 million (par value), and $721.4 million (par value), respectively, of federally insured rehabilitation loans that met the definition of PCD loans when they were purchased by the Company. Beginning in March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and world economies. Apart from the impact of the adoption of ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, the Company’s allowance for loan losses increased during the first quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on economic conditions. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a negative provision for loan losses due to management's estimate of certain continued improved economic conditions (including the improvement in certain macroeconomic variables (unemployment rates, gross domestic product, and consumer price index) used in the Company's loan loss models) in comparison to management's estimate of economic conditions used to determine the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, charge-offs for the Company’s federally insured loan portfolio were $10.3 million. The increased level of charge-offs in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to historical periods was due to the Company proactively applying a 90 day natural disaster forbearance due to COVID-19 to any loan that was 31-269 days past due effective March 13, 2020 through June 30, 2020. Beginning July 1, 2020, the Company discontinued proactively applying 90 day natural disaster forbearances on past due loans. Many loans that exited the natural disaster forbearance on July 1, 2020 have gone into default, been submitted to the guaranty agency, and been charged off by the Company during the third quarter of 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses due to management's estimate of certain continued improved economic conditions as of September 30, 2021 in comparison to management's estimate of economic conditions used to determine the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2020. These amounts were partially offset by the establishment of an initial allowance for loans originated and acquired during the period. Loan Status and Delinquencies The key credit quality indicators for the Company's federally insured, private education, and consumer loan portfolios are loan status, including delinquencies. The impact of changes in loan status is incorporated into the allowance for loan losses calculation. Delinquencies have the potential to adversely impact the Company’s earnings through increased servicing and collection costs and account charge-offs. The table below shows the Company’s loan status and delinquency amounts.
Nonaccrual Status The Company does not place federally insured loans on nonaccrual status due to the government guaranty. The amortized cost of private and consumer loans on nonaccrual status, as well as the allowance for loan losses related to such loans, as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, was not material. Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year The following table presents the amortized cost of the Company's private education and consumer loans by loan status and delinquency amount as of September 30, 2021 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 the Company’s federally insured loans were originated prior to July 1, 2010.

Under the amended terms, the following provisions of the facility were modified: •The maturity date was extended from December 16, 2024 to September 22, 2026. •The facility size increased from $455.0 million to $495.0 million. The amended terms also increased the accordion feature of the facility to provide that the Company may increase the aggregate financing commitments, through the existing lenders and/or through new lenders, up to a total of $737.5 million. •The cost of funds decreased 25.0 basis points and 2.5 basis points for drawn and undrawn amounts, respectively, based on the Company's current credit ratings. The amended terms also include customary provisions to provide for replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate when LIBOR ceases to be available. •The provisions for secured recourse indebtedness were expanded to increase the limit on the aggregate amount of secured recourse indebtedness from 5 percent of the Company's consolidated net worth to 10 percent. •The provisions for permitted investments were expanded to increase the aggregate amount of permitted investments from 40 percent of the Company's consolidated net worth to 50 percent. •The provisions for loans owned by the Company other than federally insured FFELP student loans were revised to replace the limit of $850.0 million on non-FFELP loans owned by the Company with a limit of 50 percent of the Company's consolidated net worth on non-FFELP loans owned by the Company with FICO scores of less than 700. As of September 30, 2021, no amount was outstanding on the line of credit and $495.0 million was available for future use. Participation Agreement The Company has an agreement with Union Bank and Trust Company ("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 FFELP loan asset-backed securities. As of September 30, 2021, $194.2 million of FFELP loan asset-backed securities 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 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 $100.0 million or an amount in excess of $100.0 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 under this agreement have been accounted for by the Company as a secured borrowing. Repurchase Agreements On May 3, 2021 and June 23, 2021, the Company entered into repurchase agreements with non-affiliated third parties, the proceeds of which are collateralized by private education loan asset-backed securities.

Included in “bonds and notes payable” as of September 30, 2021 was $223.8 million subject to the first agreement and $110.6 million subject to the second agreement. See note 5 for additional information about the private education loan asset-backed securities investments serving as collateral for these repurchase agreements. Accrued Interest Liability During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reversed a historical accrued interest liability of $23.8 million on certain bonds, which liability the Company determined is no longer probable of being required to be paid. The liability was initially recorded when certain asset-backed securitizations were acquired in 2011 and 2013. The reduction of this liability is reflected in (a reduction of) "interest on bonds and notes payable and bank deposits" in the consolidated statements of income. 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" in "other income/expense" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Investments | Investments Private Education Loan Investment In December of 2020, Wells Fargo announced the sale of its approximately $10.0 billion portfolio of private education loans representing approximately 445,000 borrowers. The Company has entered into a joint venture with other investors to acquire the loans. Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company is the servicer of the portfolio, owns an approximate 8 percent interest in the loans and in residual interests in subsequent securitizations of the loans, and serves as the sponsor and administrator for the loan securitizations completed by the joint venture. During March and throughout the second quarter of 2021, the vast majority of borrowers were converted to the Company's servicing platform. The joint venture established a limited partnership that purchased the private education loans and funded such loans with a temporary warehouse facility. The Company’s initial contribution to the limited partnership was $71.1 million. In conjunction with the establishment of the limited partnership, the parties provided additional funding commitments to the partnership, in the event additional funding became necessary after the initial purchase of loans. In accordance with GAAP, the Company’s carrying value of its investment in the limited partnership is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, is reduced by cash distributions and the fair value of its portion of loans transferred into securitizations, and can be less than zero or negative because of the potential future contributions pursuant to the funding commitment. The Company’s carrying value of its investment in the limited partnership, which is included in "Venture capital and funds - equity method" in the table below, is also impacted by the amount of the Company’s proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the partnership. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’ proportionate share of losses of this partnership was $5.0 million, which reduced the carrying value of this investment (and is included as an expense in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income). On May 20, 2021, June 30, 2021, and August 18, 2021, the joint venture completed asset-backed securitization transactions to permanently finance a total of $7.4 billion of the private education loans purchased by the joint venture. Cash distributions and the fair value of the Company’s portion of loans securitized as a result of these securitizations was $40.6 million and $43.3 million, respectively, which reduced the Company’s carrying value of its limited partnership investment. The Company records its ownership in the residual interest of securitization transactions used to permanently finance the loans at fair value as held-to-maturity beneficial interest investments, and such investments are reflected in the table below as “beneficial interest in private education loan securitizations, including accrued interest.” See the caption "Subsequent Events" below for information regarding an event on October 27, 2021 impacting the Company's investment in the joint venture limited partnership. On behalf of the joint venture, the Company is the sponsor and administrator for the loan securitizations completed by the joint venture. As sponsor, 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 “private education loan asset-backed securities – available for sale” in the table below and as of September 30, 2021, the fair value of these bonds was $371.7 million. The Company must retain these investment securities until the latest of (i) two years from the closing date of the securitization, (ii) the date the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the loans in the securitization is 33% or less of the initial loan balance, and (iii) 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. The Company entered into repurchase agreements with third-parties, the proceeds of which were used to purchase a portion of the asset-backed investments, and such investments serve as collateral on the repurchase obligations. See note 3 for additional information about these repurchase agreements. A summary of the Company's investments follows:
(a) As of September 30, 2021, $194.2 million (par value) of FFELP loan asset-backed securities were subject to participation interests held by Union Bank. See note 3 for additional information. (b) As of September 30, 2021, a total of $370.4 million (par value) of private education loan asset-backed securities were subject to repurchase agreements with third-parties. See note 3 for additional information. (c) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”) that is included in “venture capital and funds” in the above table. On May 27, 2021, the Company made an additional equity investment of approximately $5 million in Hudl, as one of the participants in an equity raise completed by Hudl. Prior to the additional 2021 investment, the Company had direct and indirect equity ownership interests in Hudl of less than 20%, which did not materially change as a result of this transaction. The Company accounts for its investment in Hudl using the measurement alternative method, which requires it to adjust its carrying value of the investment for changes resulting from observable market transactions. For accounting purposes, the May 2021 equity raise transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities and the price was contractually agreed to during Hudl's prior May 2020 equity raise. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the May 2021 transaction value. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl is $133.9 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. See the caption "Subsequent Events" below for information regarding an event on October 15, 2021 impacting another investment accounted for using the measurement alternative method. (d) The Company accounts for its voting membership interests in ALLO Holdings LLC, a holding company for ALLO Communications LLC (collectively referred to as "ALLO") under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV") method of accounting. The HLBV method of accounting is used by the Company for equity method investments when the liquidation rights and priorities as defined by an equity investment agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership or voting interests. The Company applies the HLBV method using a balance sheet approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that the Company would receive if an equity investment entity were to liquidate its net assets and distribute that cash to the investors based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is the Company’s share of the earnings or losses from the equity investment for the period. Because the Company will be able to utilize certain tax losses related to ALLO’s operations, the equity investment agreements for the Company have liquidation rights and priorities that are sufficiently different from the voting membership interests percentages such that the HLBV method of accounting was deemed appropriate. Accordingly, the recognition of earnings or losses during any reporting period related to the Company’s equity investment in ALLO may or may not reflect its voting membership interests percentage and could vary substantially from those calculated based on the Company’s voting membership interests in ALLO. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized losses of $10.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, under the HLBV method of accounting on its ALLO voting membership interests investment. Assuming ALLO continues its planned growth in existing and new communities, it will continue to invest substantial amounts in property and equipment to build the network and connect customers. The resulting recognition of depreciation and development costs could result in continuing net operating losses by ALLO under GAAP. Applying the HLBV method of accounting, the Company will continue to recognize a significant portion of ALLO’s anticipated losses over the next several years. Income and losses from the Company's investment in ALLO are included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. (e) As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding preferred membership interests and accrued and unpaid preferred return of ALLO held by the Company was $129.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively. The preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company earn a preferred annual return of 6.25 percent. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $2.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively, that is included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. On January 19, 2021, ALLO obtained certain private debt financing facilities from unrelated third-party lenders providing for aggregate financing of up to $230.0 million. With proceeds from this transaction, ALLO redeemed a portion of its non-voting preferred membership interests held by the Company in exchange for an aggregate redemption price payment to the Company of $100.0 million. Under October 2020 recapitalization agreements for ALLO, the parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts (which expressly excludes requiring ALLO to raise any additional equity financing or sell any assets) to cause ALLO to redeem, on or before April 2024, the remaining preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid preferred return on such interests. (f) The Company makes investments in entities that promote renewable energy sources (solar). The Company's investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits, operating cash flows, and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods which range from 5 to 6 years. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has funded a total of $181.4 million in solar investments, which includes $24.5 million funded by syndication partners. The carrying value of the Company's solar investments are reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed in service. The solar investment balance at September 30, 2021 represents the result of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed in service through September 30, 2021 being larger than total payments made by the Company on such projects. The Company is committed to fund an additional $74.0 million on these projects, of which $55.9 million will be provided by syndication partners. The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company's solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $3.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $7.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, on its solar investments. These losses are included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. (g) The Company has partial ownership in certain private education, consumer, and federally insured student loan securitizations. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to September 30, 2021, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $545 million, $250 million, and $485 million of private education, consumer, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $26.3 million provision charge related to the Company's beneficial interest in consumer loan securitizations due to distressed economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to improved economic conditions, the Company has reduced the allowance for credit losses related to the consumer loan beneficial interests, including reducing such allowance by $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company no longer has an allowance for credit losses associated with the consumer loan beneficial interests. The activity related to the allowance for credit losses related to the consumer loan beneficial interests is included in “impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests, net” on the consolidated statements of income. Subsequent Events On October 15, 2021, an entity in which the Company has an equity investment completed an additional equity raise. The Company accounts for its investment in this entity using the measurement alternative method, which requires it to adjust its carrying value of the investment for changes resulting from observable market transactions. As a result of this entity’s equity raise, the Company currently anticipates recognizing income in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $10 million to $15 million (pre-tax) to adjust its carrying value to reflect the October 15, 2021 transaction value, subject to final valuations of the equity classes. On October 27, 2021, the Company's joint venture with other investors for the acquisition of private education loans from Wells Fargo completed a final asset-backed securitization of $1.2 billion of private education loans that permanently financed all remaining eligible loans temporarily funded in the joint venture limited partnership’s warehouse facility. The cash distribution and the fair value of the Company’s portion of loans securitized as a result of this securitization was $9.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, which reduced the Company’s carrying value of its limited partnership investment to a credit (negative) balance of approximately $36 million. Due to the completion of this transaction, the Company expects the joint venture limited partnership established to purchase the loans will be dissolved without further financial requirements (and the Company's funding commitment will therefore be terminated) and/or the financial commitment will be reduced or terminated by the partners of the joint venture. Upon the reduction and/or termination of the Company's financial commitment to the limited partnership, currently expected by the Company to occur during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company will record a derecognition of all or a portion of the negative investment balance (and record positive income up to $36 million (pre-tax)).

Major Customer | Major Customer Nelnet Servicing, LLC ("Nelnet Servicing") and Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc. ("Great Lakes"), subsidiaries of the Company, each earn loan servicing revenue from a servicing contract with the Department of Education (the "Department"). Revenues earned by Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes related to these contracts are set forth in the "Government servicing - Nelnet" and "Government servicing - Great Lakes" line items of the "Loan Servicing and Systems" table in note 11. As of September 30, 2021, Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes serviced 5.8 million and 7.8 million borrowers, respectively, under their contracts with the Department. In June 2021, Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes each received a contract modification from the Department pursuant to which the Department exercised its option to extend the student loan servicing contracts between the Department and each of Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes from June 14, 2021 through December 14, 2021. In September 2021, Nelnet Servicing and Great Lakes each entered into contract amendments with the Department, pursuant to which the student loan servicing contracts were extended from December 14, 2021 through December 14, 2023. In 2017, the Department initiated a contract procurement process referred to as the Next Generation Financial Services Environment ("NextGen") for a new framework for the servicing of all student loans owned by the Department. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 contains provisions directing certain aspects of the NextGen process, including that any new federal student loan servicing environment is required to provide for the participation of multiple student loan servicers and the allocation of borrower accounts to eligible student loan servicers based on performance. Nelnet cannot predict the timing, nature, or ultimate outcome of the NextGen or any other contract procurement process by the Department.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Financial Reporting | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nelnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report"). |

Investments | A summary of the Company's investments follows:
(a) As of September 30, 2021, $194.2 million (par value) of FFELP loan asset-backed securities were subject to participation interests held by Union Bank. See note 3 for additional information. (b) As of September 30, 2021, a total of $370.4 million (par value) of private education loan asset-backed securities were subject to repurchase agreements with third-parties. See note 3 for additional information. (c) The Company has an investment in Agile Sports Technologies, Inc. (doing business as “Hudl”) that is included in “venture capital and funds” in the above table. On May 27, 2021, the Company made an additional equity investment of approximately $5 million in Hudl, as one of the participants in an equity raise completed by Hudl. Prior to the additional 2021 investment, the Company had direct and indirect equity ownership interests in Hudl of less than 20%, which did not materially change as a result of this transaction. The Company accounts for its investment in Hudl using the measurement alternative method, which requires it to adjust its carrying value of the investment for changes resulting from observable market transactions. For accounting purposes, the May 2021 equity raise transaction was not considered an observable market transaction (not orderly) because it was not subject to customary marketing activities and the price was contractually agreed to during Hudl's prior May 2020 equity raise. Accordingly, the Company did not adjust its carrying value of its Hudl investment to the May 2021 transaction value. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Hudl is $133.9 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. See the caption "Subsequent Events" below for information regarding an event on October 15, 2021 impacting another investment accounted for using the measurement alternative method. (d) The Company accounts for its voting membership interests in ALLO Holdings LLC, a holding company for ALLO Communications LLC (collectively referred to as "ALLO") under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV") method of accounting. The HLBV method of accounting is used by the Company for equity method investments when the liquidation rights and priorities as defined by an equity investment agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership or voting interests. The Company applies the HLBV method using a balance sheet approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that the Company would receive if an equity investment entity were to liquidate its net assets and distribute that cash to the investors based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is the Company’s share of the earnings or losses from the equity investment for the period. Because the Company will be able to utilize certain tax losses related to ALLO’s operations, the equity investment agreements for the Company have liquidation rights and priorities that are sufficiently different from the voting membership interests percentages such that the HLBV method of accounting was deemed appropriate. Accordingly, the recognition of earnings or losses during any reporting period related to the Company’s equity investment in ALLO may or may not reflect its voting membership interests percentage and could vary substantially from those calculated based on the Company’s voting membership interests in ALLO. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized losses of $10.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, under the HLBV method of accounting on its ALLO voting membership interests investment. Assuming ALLO continues its planned growth in existing and new communities, it will continue to invest substantial amounts in property and equipment to build the network and connect customers. The resulting recognition of depreciation and development costs could result in continuing net operating losses by ALLO under GAAP. Applying the HLBV method of accounting, the Company will continue to recognize a significant portion of ALLO’s anticipated losses over the next several years. Income and losses from the Company's investment in ALLO are included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. (e) As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding preferred membership interests and accrued and unpaid preferred return of ALLO held by the Company was $129.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively. The preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company earn a preferred annual return of 6.25 percent. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized income on its ALLO preferred membership interests of $2.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively, that is included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. On January 19, 2021, ALLO obtained certain private debt financing facilities from unrelated third-party lenders providing for aggregate financing of up to $230.0 million. With proceeds from this transaction, ALLO redeemed a portion of its non-voting preferred membership interests held by the Company in exchange for an aggregate redemption price payment to the Company of $100.0 million. Under October 2020 recapitalization agreements for ALLO, the parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts (which expressly excludes requiring ALLO to raise any additional equity financing or sell any assets) to cause ALLO to redeem, on or before April 2024, the remaining preferred membership interests of ALLO held by the Company, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid preferred return on such interests. (f) The Company makes investments in entities that promote renewable energy sources (solar). The Company's investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits, operating cash flows, and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods which range from 5 to 6 years. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has funded a total of $181.4 million in solar investments, which includes $24.5 million funded by syndication partners. The carrying value of the Company's solar investments are reduced by tax credits earned when the solar project is placed in service. The solar investment balance at September 30, 2021 represents the result of total tax credits earned on solar projects placed in service through September 30, 2021 being larger than total payments made by the Company on such projects. The Company is committed to fund an additional $74.0 million on these projects, of which $55.9 million will be provided by syndication partners. The Company accounts for its solar investments using the HLBV method of accounting. For the majority of the Company's solar investments, the HLBV method of accounting results in accelerated losses in the initial years of investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $3.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $7.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, on its solar investments. These losses are included in "other" in "other income/expense" on the consolidated statements of income. (g) The Company has partial ownership in certain private education, consumer, and federally insured student loan securitizations. As of the latest remittance reports filed by the various trusts prior to September 30, 2021, the Company's ownership correlates to approximately $545 million, $250 million, and $485 million of private education, consumer, and federally insured student loans, respectively, included in these securitizations. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $26.3 million provision charge related to the Company's beneficial interest in consumer loan securitizations due to distressed economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to improved economic conditions, the Company has reduced the allowance for credit losses related to the consumer loan beneficial interests, including reducing such allowance by $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company no longer has an allowance for credit losses associated with the consumer loan beneficial interests. The activity related to the allowance for credit losses related to the consumer loan beneficial interests is included in “impairment expense and provision for beneficial interests, net” on the consolidated statements of income.

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.
