EZCORP Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Results
Austin, Texas (July 31, 2019) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW) today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2019.
All amounts in this release are from EZCORP continuing operations and 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.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2019
Total revenues for the quarter were up 1% to $202.5 million. Included in the GAAP results is a discrete $6.1 million adjustment in Latin America to correct the calculation of certain transaction tax liabilities in prior periods ($4.6 million of which reduced merchandise sales and $1.5 million of which increased interest expense). Adjusted1 total revenues increased 4% to $206.9 million, driven by continued growth in key pawn operating metrics including pawn loans outstanding (PLO), pawn service charges (PSC) and merchandise sales, across U.S. and Latin America.
Income before tax was $3.5 million, down 78%, and diluted earnings per share were $0.06, down 76%. These year-over-year comparisons were impacted primarily by a favorable litigation settlement in the prior-year quarter, the inclusion in the current quarter of costs related to certain growth investments, and other discrete items. Excluding those items and adjusting for constant currency2, adjusted income before tax was $15.0 million, up 16%, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.18, up 13%.
Cash and cash equivalents ended the current quarter at $138.9 million, after the retirement of $195.0 million of convertible notes in June 2019 using cash on hand and continued investment in growth initiatives. During the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of seven pawn stores in Nevada for $7.0 million and collected another $7.3 million of principal under the Alpha Credit / Grupo Finmart notes.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Chief Executive Officer Stuart Grimshaw commented, "Current quarter activities delivered solid operating results highlighted by ongoing momentum across all geographies. Steady growth in PLO and slightly improving yields, reflecting the health of the loan balance, drove strong growth in our primary net revenue component, PSC. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA and EPS growth accelerated as a result of rising operating leverage during the quarter.
“We remain focused on longer-term strategic initiatives centered on best serving our customers’ need for cash, expanding our footprint both here in the U.S. and across Latin America via de novo store growth and capitalizing on higher-return M&A opportunities, and proactively investing in differentiated digital engagement and data analytics programs. We are doing this while maintaining financial flexibility to fund growth to enhance long-term shareholder value. Focusing on efficient and effective capital deployment, we recently acquired seven pawn stores expanding our presence in Nevada, opened four Latin America de novo stores in the quarter and retired a material tranche of convertible debt with cash on hand.”

Net revenues were up 1% to $115.9 million on both a GAAP and constant currency basis. Adjusted net revenues increased 5% to $120.4 million. PLO growth of 4% (based on ending balance) and 7% (based on average balances), combined with a slight improvement in yields drove a 9% increase in PSC to $79.0 million. Consolidated merchandise sales gross profit declined 11% to $33.6 million on a 1% decrease in merchandise sales. Adjusted sales gross profit improved 1% to $38.1 million and sales margins decreased 90 basis points to 35.2%, reflecting the effective liquidation of aged general merchandise in U.S. Pawn from 7% to 6% in the current quarter.
Consolidated operations expenses rose 2% to $84.7 million on both a GAAP and constant currency basis. Total store count also increased 2%, consisting of a net 18 stores acquired or opened since the prior year quarter (19 new and acquired stores in Latin America and seven acquired stores in the U.S., net of eight store closures in Canada and the U.S.). Same store operations expense increased 1% primarily due to labor and benefit cost increases, including reduced vacancies and increased staffing for expanded stores, an increase in robbery losses in Mexico, and other smaller items.
Administrative expense increased 13%, or $1.8 million to $15.1 million principally as a result of a $1.3 million strategic investment in the development of the Evergreen customer-centric digital platform. Another $2.9 million related to this project was capitalized in the quarter, based on the nature of the specific work performed.
The company’s global pawn businesses (consisting of U.S. Pawn and Latin America Pawn) generated consolidated segment contribution of $25.7 million, down 14% from the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, global pawn generated consolidated segment contribution of $31.7 million, up 6%.
Contribution from the Other International segment improved $1.2 million to $0.9 million.
Net interest expense increased $3.6 million. Excluding the $1.5 million of interest related to the transaction tax adjustment, net interest expense increased $2.1 million driven by additional debt issued in May 2018 and lower interest income on the declining balance of notes receivable from Alpha Credit as principal collections are received monthly, offset by the June 2019 repayment of our $195.0 million cash convertible senior notes.
SEGMENT RESULTS
U.S. Pawn
Same store PSC rose 6%, with ending PLO per store of $289,000, up 3% on a year-over-year basis. The growth reflected disciplined lending practices and a focus on meeting customers' need for cash.
Merchandise margins remained strong at 37%. The 60 basis point margin reduction from the prior-year quarter reflects effective liquidation of aged general merchandise inventory, reduced during the quarter from 7% to 6%. Jewelry scrapping net revenues decreased $0.2 million on $3.9 million lower scrap proceeds, reflecting lower current market prices for scrap diamonds and an effort to sell more jewelry in store rather than to refiners at lower margins. Scrap margins improved 250 basis points to 16%.




U.S. Pawn's net revenues rose 3% to $92.0 million, with flat combined operating expenses and depreciation, resulting in an 11% increase in segment contribution to $23.6 million.
Latin America Pawn
Net revenues declined 3% to $23.2 million ($23.3 million on a constant currency basis). Adjusted net revenues increased 16% to $27.7 million reflecting growth in new, acquired and same stores.
PSC rose 20% to $20.3 million on both a GAAP and a constant currency basis, reflecting an 18% increase in average PLO for the quarter. Ending PLO grew 6% to $41.7 million (up 4% to $41.0 million on a constant currency basis), with ending PLO per store of $89,000, up 2%.
Merchandise sales decreased 4%, or $0.8 million (4% or $1.0 million constant currency). On an adjusted basis, merchandise sales increased 17%, or $3.6 million and gross margin on merchandise sales declined 100 basis points to 29%.
Operations expense increased 22% to $18.3 million, including stores acquired or opened since the prior-year quarter and stores expanded or relocated, for which the revenue improvement is expected to lag the incremental costs. Same store operations expense increased 12%, primarily as a result of store licensing requirements recently enacted in Mexico, an increase in robbery losses and related security costs, and labor costs that increased at a rate slightly lower than the total revenue growth.
The company added four de novo stores in the quarter. New stores drive attractive long-term profit enhancement but create a short-term drag on earnings as they ramp. Acquired stores are generally less efficient than our same stores until fully integrated, but typically are accretive in their first full quarter of ownership.
Segment contribution decreased 76% to $2.1 million (72% on a constant currency basis). Adjusted segment contribution decreased 4% to $8.0 million as a result of new and acquired stores, recently expanded and relocated stores, and the operations expense increase previously described combined with administrative costs to support the growth.

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 basis ("constant currency"). We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our Latin America Pawn 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 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 Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzals, Honduran lempiras and Peruvian sols 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 currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

The constant currency results of our statement of operations 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. We have experienced a prolonged weakening of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar and may continue to experience further weakening in future reporting periods, which may adversely impact our future operating results when stated on a GAAP basis.
