On February 1, 2023, EZCORP, Inc. ("EZCORP") issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the full year and quarter ended December 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 February 2, 2023) 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.

Austin, Texas (February 1, 2023) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW), a leading provider of pawn transactions in the United States and Latin America, today announced results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this release are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and comparisons shown are to the same period in the prior year.

•Total revenue increased 20%, and gross profit increased 15%.
•Merchandise sales gross margin remains within our targeted range at 36%.
•Net income for the quarter was $16.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million.
•Diluted earnings per share of $0.25 was up from $0.21. On an adjusted basis1, diluted earnings per share was $0.28, compared to $0.22 in the prior-year quarter.
•Return on earning assets (ROEA) remains strong at 163%.
•Refinanced convertible debt, that included the repurchase of $109.4 million convertible notes due 2024 and $69.1 million convertible notes due 2025, and the issuance of $230.0 million due 2029.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Chief Executive Officer Lachie Given stated, “We began fiscal 2023 with another outstanding quarter, continuing to execute on our three-year strategic plan. Our PLO was the highest on record for this quarter, and we achieved our strongest ever quarterly sales result. The challenging macro-economic backdrop continues to drive increased demand for our two core products, which are providing solutions for our customers' short-term cash needs and selling second-hand goods. And our team’s relentless focus on improving the performance of every one of our 1,186 stores, continues to drive our excellent financial and operating results.
"We remain committed to market-leading customer service, by investing in our store-based and support teams, technology improvements, process efficiencies and automation, as we provide our customers with a fast, convenient and respectful solution to address their short-term cash needs. Additionally, our neighborhood retail locations provide affordable pre-owned and recycled general merchandise and jewelry to our cost-conscious and environmentally concerned consumers.
“During the first quarter, we acquired nine stores in the Houston, Texas area and one store in Las Vegas, Nevada. We opened two de novo stores in Latin America and expect to open more this quarter. We now have 2.4 million EZ+ Rewards members across all geographies, an increase of 26% over the fourth quarter of 2022.
“We proactively addressed our near-term convertible debt maturities with a successful placement of $230 million of 7-year convertible notes, materially de-risking the balance sheet while providing a stable, low cash-cost capital base from which to continue to grow. We retired approximately $178.5 million of convertible notes maturing in 2024 and 2025 and repurchased approximately $5 million in shares as part of this financing, in addition to the $2 million in shares we acquired during the quarter as part of our announced buy-back program.
“During the quarter, we launched new initiatives to enhance work-life balance for our team members and increase employer competitiveness at all levels. I believe we have the best, most passionate, engaged and productive team members in the industry. We are committed to doing everything we can to retain and incentivize them because it is their operational excellence that drives our financial results and ultimately enhances value for all shareholders,” concluded Given.

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. In addition, we have an equity method investment that is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars. 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 three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| December 31, | Three Months Ended December 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mexican peso | 19.5 | 20.5 | 19.7 | 20.7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Guatemalan quetzal | 7.7 | 7.5 | 7.7 | 7.6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Honduran lempira | 24.4 | 24.1 | 24.3 | 23.9 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Australian dollar | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
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.
