EZCORP Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

Pawn Loans Outstanding of $157.2 million, Net Revenue of $108 million, Net Loss of $2.6 million - All Year-Over-Year Improvements

AUSTIN, Texas--()--EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW), a leading provider of pawn transactions in the United States and Latin America, today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2021.

All amounts in this release are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") unless otherwise noted. Comparisons shown in this release are to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.

CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK

Chief Executive Officer Jason Kulas stated, “During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of 128 Cash Apoyo Efectivo stores in Mexico, our largest acquisition to date in terms of store-count, solidifying our position as the second largest for-profit pawn operator in Mexico. We also acquired 11 stores in the Houston, Texas area and opened four de novo stores in Latin America, bringing our total store count to 1,143 at the end of the quarter, 627 (55%) of which are in Latin America.

"The third quarter was a solid quarter in which we continued to make significant strides in strengthening and growing our core pawn business. Despite lingering transitory COVID-related impacts, including government stimulus programs in the U.S., we continued to drive meaningful improvements across core operating metrics. We achieved our highest quarter-ending balance of PLO since the beginning of the pandemic, up 25% on a sequential basis and 39% compared to a year ago. While merchandise sales volumes were down 21% from their peak pandemic levels a year ago, we delivered a 6% increase in sales gross profit through effective inventory management and higher margins. These positive results reflect the relentless focus of our store teams on meeting our customers’ needs and executing the fundamentals.

Net Income improved from a loss of $5.5 million to a loss of $2.6 million, while adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, reflecting not only the improvement in core operating metrics, but also our ongoing commitment to expense management and efficiency. We remain on track to realize annualized cost savings of more than $14.0 million for fiscal 2021 even assuming store-level expenses trend higher as transaction volumes accelerate.

Looking ahead, we remain well positioned to continue our trend of improving financial performance, and are excited about the increasing earnings power of the platform. Pawn transaction activity continues to rebuild, driving PLO balances closer to pre-pandemic levels, which will drive accelerating pawn service charge revenue in the coming quarters given the natural lag between pawn originations and related fees. In addition, we remain on track to realize meaningful cost savings this year and beyond, even assuming store-level expenses trend higher to meet accelerating transaction volumes. And, we maintain a strong and liquid balance sheet to fund accelerating pawn demand and capitalize on acquisition opportunities that further enhance our scale-enabled and geographically diverse footprint and generate strong returns on investment.”

  • Net revenues increased $5.8 million or 6% while total revenues decreased $36.2 million or 17%.
  • Merchandise sales gross profit increased by 6%, even though merchandise sales decreased by $28.7 million or 21% as a result of effective inventory management. Merchandise sales gross profit margin was 44%, a 1,100 bps improvement over the prior-year quarter (which was adversely impacted by a cost of goods sold adjustment for merchandise lost during looting at 30 U.S. stores during that quarter) and 100 bps over the immediately preceding quarter.
  • PSC increased $8.0 million or 15% due to an increase in the average PLO balance during the quarter.
  • Jewelry scrapping sales decreased $14.6 million or 72% and jewelry scrapping sales gross profit decreased $3.9 million or 95%. Jewelry scrapping sales gross profit margin decreased to 4% from 20%. This reflects our strategy of focusing on selling jewelry at higher retail margins than the scrapping process provides.

  • Total operating expenses were down $2.1 million or 2% to $104.3 million. Store expenses decreased 1% even though store count grew by 11%. In addition, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million or 10% due to continued focus on expense control initiatives implemented since the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $283.7 million, down $27.5 million or 9% year-over-year and $52.0 million or 15% on a sequential basis. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in PLO and the acquisition of new stores.

1 ”Adjusted” basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes certain items. “Constant currency” basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. “Free cash flow,” which is a non-GAAP measure, includes certain adjustments to cash flow from operating activities.

For additional information about these calculations, as well as a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency ("constant currency") and adjusted basis. We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency and adjusted results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information primarily to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods.

Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate on a monthly basis during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period and approximate average exchange rates for each applicable currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the monthly exchange rate fluctuations and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss.
