NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 -General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, includes the accounts of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions, and the results of operations for the acquisitions have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are unaudited, but in management’s opinion include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such interim periods. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The Company completed the acquisition of H&T Group plc (“H&T”), the leading pawn operator in the United Kingdom, on August 14, 2025, the date which the balance sheet and operating results of H&T were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results (the “H&T Acquisition”). The purchase price allocation for the H&T Acquisition remains preliminary as of March 31, 2026 and is expected to be finalized by August 14, 2026. No material measurement period adjustments were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The Company has pawn operations in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and the U.K., where the functional currency is the Mexican peso, Guatemalan quetzal, Colombian peso and the British pound sterling, respectively. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date, and the resulting adjustments are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates occurring during the respective period. The Company also has pawn operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s estimates.
Reclassification
For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statements of income have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.
The net presentation of pawn loans within cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 has been revised to reflect a gross presentation of pawn loans made, pawn loans repaid and recovery of pawn loan principal through sale of forfeited collateral. This reclassification of prior period amounts did not result in changes to previously reported net cash flow used in investing activities.
The net presentation of finance receivables within cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 has been revised to reflect a gross presentation of investments in finance receivables and proceeds from finance receivables. This reclassification of prior period amounts did not result in changes to previously reported net cash flow used in investing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date,” which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's current financial position, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software by eliminating references to project stages and clarifying the threshold applied to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of the interim reporting guidance, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Per the FASB, the amendment does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements but rather provide clarity and improve navigability of the existing interim reporting requirements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-11 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 -Operating Leases
Lessor
For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to the “Leased merchandise and revenue recognition” section of Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.
Lessee
The Company leases approximately 63% of its U.S. pawnshop locations, almost all of its Latin America and U.K. pawnshop locations and certain administrative offices under operating leases and determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Many leases include both lease and non-lease components for which the Company accounts separately. Lease components include rent, taxes and insurance costs while non-lease components include common area or other maintenance costs. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use assets, lease liability, current and lease liability, non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases.
Leased facilities are generally leased for a term ofthree tofive years with one or more options to renew for an additional three tofive years, typically at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, the majority of these leases can be terminated early upon an adverse change in law which negatively affects the store’s profitability. The Company regularly evaluates renewal and termination options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and excludes these options from the lease term included in the recognition of the operating lease right of use asset and lease liability until such certainty exists. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.1 years as of March 31, 2026 and 4.2 years as of March 31, 2025.
The operating lease right of use asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to groups of leases with similar characteristics. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 8.3% and 8.6%, respectively.
The Company has certain operating leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The liability related to these leases is considered a monetary liability and requires remeasurement each reporting period into the functional currency (Mexican pesos) using reporting date exchange rates. The remeasurement results in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses each reporting period, which can produce a certain level of earnings volatility. The Company recognized a foreign currency loss of $0.8 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to the remeasurement of these U.S. dollar-denominated operating leases, which is included in gain on foreign exchange in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease expense recognized in the period such payments are incurred. The following table details the components of lease expense included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Operating lease expense | $40,859 | $34,629 |
| Variable lease expense (1) | 5,589 | 4,804 |
| Total operating lease expense | $46,448 | $39,433 |
(1)Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance and common area or other maintenance costs paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor and can therefore vary over the lease term.

Note 4 -Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The three fair value levels are (from highest to lowest):
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. There were no such events or conditions identified during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

(1)Finance receivables, gross as of December 31, 2025 were $283.5 million. See Note 5.
As cash and cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Due to their short-term maturities, the carrying value of pawn loans and accounts receivable, net approximate fair value.
Finance receivables are measured at amortized cost, net of an allowance for loan losses on the consolidated balance sheets. In estimating fair value for finance receivables, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow methodology. The Company used various unobservable inputs reflecting its own assumptions, such as contractual future principal and interest cash flows, future charge-off rates and discount rates (which consider current interest rates and are adjusted for credit risk, among other factors).
The carrying value of the liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure approximates fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the short-term nature and estimation based on current expected lifetime losses.
The carrying value of the revolving unsecured credit facility approximates fair value as of March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of the revolving unsecured credit facility is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the revolving unsecured credit facility has a variable interest rate based on the prevailing secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and reprices with any changes in SOFR.
The other long-term debt consists primarily of fixed rate secured term loans and senior unsecured notes. The fair value of the secured term loans is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. The remainder of the other long-term debt consists of two variable interest rate credit facilities, the carrying value of which approximates fair value as of March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

On August 26, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due on September 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding.

The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2028 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 2.75 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1. While the 2028 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.

Note 8 -Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings and other general claims. Although no assurances can be given, in management’s opinion, such outstanding proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
OBS Loans
The Company is obligated to reimburse the Company’s bank partner for the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest for all OBS Loans that are 90 days contractually past due. This obligation constitutes an off-balance sheet credit exposure for which the Company is required to recognize, upon inception of the obligation, a liability for the expected lifetime losses, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding amount of OBS Loans originated and held by the Company’s bank partner, which would represent the maximum exposure to the Company, was $32.9 million.
The following table details the changes in the liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure (in thousands):
