EZCORP INC

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

EZCORP, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a provider of pawn loans in the United States (“U.S.”) and Latin America. Pawn loans are non-recourse loans collateralized by tangible property. We also sell merchandise, primarily collateral forfeited from pawn lending operations and pre-owned merchandise purchased from customers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 15, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024 or any other period due, in part, to seasonal variations. There have been no changes that have had a material impact in significant accounting policies as described in our 2023 Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EZCORP, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We use the equity method of accounting for entities in which we have a 50% or less investment and exercise significant influence. We account for equity investments for which we do not have significant influence and without readily determinable fair values at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include the determination of inventory reserves, expected credit losses, useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of equity investments, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, loss contingencies related to litigation and discount rates used for operating leases. We base our estimates on historical experience, observable trends and various other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Merchandise Sales Revenue Recognition

Customer layaway deposits are recorded as liabilities when a customer provides a deposit for merchandise. Customer layaway deposits are generally refundable upon cancellation. Our customer layaway deposits balance as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and September 30, 2023 was $18.3 million, $16.3 million and $18.9 million, respectively, and are generally recognized as revenue within a one-year period.

Investments

We account for our investment in Rich Data Corporation (“RDC”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments — Equity Securities, and we have elected to use the measurement alternative to measure this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in RDC was $6.2 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative(“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 will impact various disclosure areas, including the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, debt, equity, derivatives, and transfers of financial assets. The amendments in this ASU 2023-06 will be effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) included within segment operating profit or loss. Additionally, the ASU requires a description of how the CODM utilizes segment operating profit or loss to assess segment performance. The requirements of this ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of this ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4: LEASES

We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. Our lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases for pawn store locations and corporate offices with lease terms ranging from three toten years and finance leases for vehicles with lease terms ranging fromtwo tofive years.

The table below presents balances of our lease assets and liabilities and their balance sheet locations for both operating and financing leases:

The table below provides major components of our lease costs:

• Includes a reduction for sublease rental income of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with variable lease expense recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred. The components of lease expense are included in “Store” and “General and Administrative” expense, based on the underlying lease use. Cash paid for operating leases was $20.3 million and $21.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for principal and interest on finance leases was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. There wasno cash paid for principal and interest on finance leases during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

The weighted-average term and discount rates for leases are as follows:

As of December 31, 2023, maturities of lease liabilities under ASC 842 by fiscal year were as follows:

We recorded $9.3 million and $20.5 million in non-cash additions to our operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million in non-cash finance lease additions for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 5: STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS

Cash Converters International Limited

As of December 31, 2023, we owned 273,939,157 shares, or approximately 43.7%, of Cash Converters. We acquired our original investment (representing approximately 30% of the outstanding shares) in November 2009 and have increased our ownership through the acquisition of additional shares periodically since that time.

We received cash dividends from Cash Converters of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following tables present summary financial information for Cash Converters most recently reported results at June 30, 2023 after translation to U.S. dollars:

During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded our share of income of $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from Cash Converters, included in“Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 6: Fair Value Measurements for the fair value and carrying value of our investment in Cash Converters.

Founders One, LLC

In October 2021, we invested $15.0 million in exchange for a non-redeemable voting participating preferred equity interest in Founders One, LLC (“Founders”), a then newly-formed entity with one other member.

On December 2, 2022, we contributed an additional $15.0 million to Founders associated with our preferred interest. In addition, we loaned $15.0 million to Founders in exchange for a Demand Promissory Note secured by the common interest in Founders held by the other member.

In October 2023, we contributed an additional $15.0 million to Founders associated with our preferred interest, bringing our total equity investment in Founders to $45.0 million.

We have an interest in Founders, a variable interest entity, but because the Company is not the primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate Founders. Further, as we are not the appointed manager, we do not have the ability to direct the activities of the investment entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. Consequently, our equity investment in Founders is accounted for utilizing the measurement alternative within ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2023, our $45.0 million carrying value of the investment and $15.0 million Demand Promissory Note are included in “Other investments” and “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our maximum exposure for losses related to our investment in Founders was our $45.0 million equity investment and $15.0 million Demand Promissory Note plus accrued and unpaid interest.

See Note 6: Fair Value Measurements for the fair value and carrying value of our loan to Founders.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

•Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 — Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

We have elected not to measure at fair value any eligible items for which fair value measurement is optional.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the periods presented.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The tables below present our estimates of fair value of financial assets and liabilities that were not measured at fair value:

Based primarily on the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable and other liabilities, we estimate that their carrying value approximates fair value. We consider our cash and cash equivalents, including money market accounts, to be measured using Level 1 inputs and our pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable and other liabilities to be measured using Level 3 inputs. Significant increases or decreases in the underlying assumptions used to value pawn loans, pawn service charges receivable, fees and interest receivable and other debt could significantly increase or decrease these fair value estimates.

In March 2019, we received $1.1 million in previously escrowed seller funds as a result of settling certain indemnification claims with the seller of GPMX. In April 2019, we loaned the $1.1 million back to the seller of GPMX in exchange for a promissory note. The note bears interest at the rate of 2.89% per annum and is secured by certain marketable securities owned by the seller and held in a U.S. brokerage account. All principal and accrued interest is due and payable in April 2024. Based primarily on the short-term nature of the note, we estimate that its carrying value approximates fair value as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, our $1.3 million carrying value of the promissory note is recorded within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In December 2022, we loaned $15.0 million to Founders in exchange for a Demand Promissory Note secured by the common interest in Founders held by the other member. As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate on the note was 15.00% per annum, and all principal and accrued interest is due on demand. Based primarily on the short-term nature of the note, we estimate that its carrying value approximates fair value as of December 31, 2023.

We use the equity method of accounting to account for our ownership interest in Cash Converters. The inputs used to generate the fair value of the investment in Cash Converters were considered Level 1 inputs. These inputs consist of (a) the quoted stock price on the Australian Stock Exchange multiplied by (b) the number of shares we owned multiplied by (c) the applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of the end of our reporting period. We included no control premium for owning a large percentage of outstanding shares.

We measured the fair value of the 2024, 2025 and 2029 Convertible Notes using quoted price inputs. The notes are not actively traded, and thus the price inputs represent a Level 2 measurement. As the quoted price inputs are highly variable from day to day, the fair value estimates disclosed above could significantly increase or decrease.

The following table presents the Company's debt instruments outstanding:

The following table presents the Company’s contractual maturities related to the debt instruments as of December 31, 2023:

The following table presents the Company’s interest expense related to the Convertible Notes for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

3.750% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2029

In December 2022, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”), for which $230.0 million remains outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The 2029 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated December 12, 2022 (the “2022 Indenture”) by and between the Company and Truist Bank, as trustee. The 2029 Convertible Notes were issued in a private offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The 2029 Convertible Notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 3.750% per annum on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2023, and mature on December 15, 2029 (the “2029 Maturity Date”), unless converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms prior to such date. At maturity, the holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes will be entitled to receive cash equal to the principal of the 2029 Convertible Notes plus accrued interest.

The effective interest rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 4.28%. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs will be amortized using the effective interest method through the 2029 Maturity Date assuming no early conversion.

The 2029 Convertible Notes are convertible based on an initial conversion rate of 89.0313 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $11.23 per share). The conversion rate will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2029 Convertible Notes contain certain make-whole fundamental change premiums and customary anti-dilution adjustments. Upon conversion, we may settle in cash, shares of Class A Common Stock or any combination thereof, at our election.

Prior to June 15, 2029, the 2029 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during thefive business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price, as defined in the 2022 Indenture, per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) if we call any or all of the 2029 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as defined in the 2022 Indenture. On or after June 15, 2029 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the 2029 Maturity Date, holders of 2029 Convertible Notes may, at their option, convert their 2029 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

We may not redeem the Notes prior to December 21, 2026. At our option, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Convertible Notes on or after December 21, 2026, if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The stock trading price condition and other triggers are measured on a quarter-by-quarter basis and were not met as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2029 Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal amount.

Note Repurchases

In December 2022, the Company repurchased approximately $109.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024 for approximately $117.5 million plus accrued interest and approximately $69.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 for approximately $62.9 million plus accrued interest and recognized a $3.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded to “Interest expense” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

2.375% 2025 Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025

In May 2018, we issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”), for which $103.4 million remains outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The 2025 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated May 14, 2018 (the “2018 Indenture”) by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the original trustee. Effective October 1, 2019, Truist (formerly BB&T) assumed the duties and responsibilities as trustee under the 2018 Indenture. The 2025 Convertible Notes were issued in a private offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The 2025 Convertible Notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 2.375% per annum on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 2018, and mature on May 1, 2025 (the “2025 Maturity Date”), unless converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms prior to such date.

The effective interest rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 2.88% for the 2025 Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs will be amortized using the effective interest method through the 2025 Maturity Date assuming no early conversion.

The 2025 Convertible Notes are convertible based on an initial conversion rate of 62.8931 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $15.90 per share). The conversion rate will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.

NOTE 8: COMMON STOCK AND STOCK COMPENSATION

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On May 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of our Class A Common Stock over three years (the “Common Stock Repurchase Program”). Execution of the program will be responsive to fluctuating market conditions and valuations, liquidity needs and the expected return on investment compared to other opportunities.

The amount and timing of purchases will be dependent on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, general market conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, general business conditions, the level of cash flows, and corporate considerations determined by management and the Board, such as liquidity and capital needs and the availability of attractive alternative investment opportunities. The Board of Directors has reserved the right to modify, suspend or terminate the program at any time. As of December 31, 2023, we had repurchased and retired 1,981,927 shares of our Class A Common Stock for $17.0 million under the Common Stock Repurchase Program, of which 354,882 shares were repurchased and retired for $3.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022,243,062 shares were repurchased and retired for $2.0 million under the Common Stock Repurchase Program. The repurchase amount is allocated between “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Common Stock Repurchases

During December 2022, the Company used approximately $5.0 million of the net proceeds from the 2029 Convertible Notes offering to repurchase for cash 578,703 shares of its Class A common stock from purchasers of the notes in privately negotiated transactions. Such transactions were authorized separately from, and not considered a part of, the publicly announced share repurchase program discussed above. The repurchase amount is allocated between “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Compensation

We maintain a Board-approved incentive plan to retain the services of our valued officers, directors and employees and to incentivize such persons to make contributions to our company and motivate excellent performance (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, we grant awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees and non-employee directors. Awards granted to employees are typically subject to performance and service conditions. Awards granted to non-employee directors are time-based awards subject only to service conditions. Awards granted under the Incentive Plan are measured at the grant date fair value with compensation costs associated with the awards recognized over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period, on a straight-line basis.

The following table presents a summary of stock compensation activity:

(a) Includes performance adjustment of 353,993 shares awarded above their target grants resulting from the achievement of performance targets established at the grant date.

(b)377,231 shares were withheld to satisfy related income tax withholding.

NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES

Currently, and from time to time, we are involved in various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, and legal and regulatory proceedings. We accrue for contingencies if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because these matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments or resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies requires judgments and is highly subjective about future events, and the amount of resulting loss may differ from these estimates. We do not believe the resolution of any particular matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our operations are primarily managed on a geographical basis and are comprised ofthree reportable segments. The factors for determining our reportable segments include the manner in which our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

We currently report our segments as follows:

•U.S. Pawn — all pawn activities in the United States;

•Latin America Pawn — all pawn activities in Mexico and other parts of Latin America; and

•Other Investments — primarily our equity interest in the net income of Cash Converters along with our investment in RDC and our investment in and notes receivable from Founders.

There are no inter-segment revenues presented below, and the amounts below were determined in accordance with the same accounting principles used in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following income (loss) before income taxes tables present revenue for each reportable segment, disaggregated revenue within our reportable segments and Corporate, segment profits and segment contribution.

The following table presents separately identified segment assets:
