On May 4, 2022, EZCORP, Inc. ("EZCORP") issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
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.
The information set forth under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing made by EZCORP under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Item 7.01 — Regulation FD Disclosure
A copy of the presentation materials that management will review during the Company’s earnings conference call (to be held on May 5, 2022) will be posted in the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at www.ezcorp.com.
The information set forth, or referred to, in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing made by EZCORP under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless such subsequent filing specifically references this Item 7.01 of this Report.

CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Chief Executive Officer Lachie Given stated, “We continue to execute on the plan we put in place at the end of fiscal 2020 and drove another quarter of successful results. We had a significant increase in net income, and PLO continues to grow strongly. PLO is at the highest level it has ever been at the end of the second quarter, and is now within 4% of pre-pandemic levels on a same store basis.
“Our Board of Directors has approved a new three-year share repurchase program for up to $50 million that enables us to return capital to shareholders by buying back shares at what we believe to be attractive valuations. This share repurchase program underscores our confidence in our balance sheet and strong cash flow generation. We believe our consistent and positive business momentum provides us with capacity to return cash to shareholders while continuing to innovate and grow the business.
“In the second quarter, we opened three de novo stores in Latin America, and after the end of the quarter, we acquired three stores in the Dallas, Texas area. We continue to look for opportunities to grow and diversify in new and established pawn markets.
“We have expanded our EZ+ Rewards program beyond the US and Mexico into Guatemala. We are now live in our three largest regions, with over 900,000 customers enrolled. We have also improved our online customer experience with live chat support. Our focus is on providing our customers with a unique and essential service by addressing their short-term cash needs, as well as an environmentally friendly retail experience. The nature of our business contributes to the circular economy, extending the useful life of items and reducing waste, and we are looking to further expand our customer base with programs focused on environmentally conscious consumers.
“Improving the experience for team members as well as our customers is the foundation for improving our financial results. Attracting and retaining talent is a high priority. We engage with team members at all levels to understand their goals, identify future leaders and make sure we are rewarding performance.
“People, Pawn and Passion is our operating theme, and our team is focused on improving efficiency, optimizing costs and providing the best experience for our customers. I am extremely proud of our team members, who have driven another successful quarter. We are committed to continuous improvement for all stakeholders: our team, our customers and our shareholders.”

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program, which will replace the previous program that was suspended in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the new program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $50 million of our Class A Non-Voting common shares over the next three years. This decision reflects the strength of our balance sheet and the successful recovery from the adverse impacts of the pandemic, as well as the Board’s confidence in our continued ability to generate significant cash flows and our commitment to driving long-term shareholder value through efficient capital deployment. 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.
Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase Class A Non-Voting common stock from time to time at management’s discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, block or privately negotiated transactions, or any combination thereof. In addition, the Company may purchase shares pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
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.

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 six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| March 31, | Three Months Ended March 31, | Six Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | 2021 | 2020 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mexican peso | 19.9 | 20.5 | 20.5 | 20.3 | 20.6 | 20.4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Guatemalan quetzal | 7.5 | 7.6 | 7.5 | 7.6 | 7.5 | 7.6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Honduran lempira | 24.1 | 23.7 | 24.2 | 23.8 | 24.0 | 23.9 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Peruvian sol | 3.7 | 3.7 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 3.9 | 3.6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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.
