Exhibit No. | Description of Exhibit | |
99.1 | Press Release, dated July 24, 2012, announcing EZCORP, Inc.’s results of operations and financial condition for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012. |
• | International Growth - With continued execution of the company's geographic and product diversification strategy, nearly 20% of the company's consolidated segment contribution in the quarter was attributable to areas outside the United States, up from 9% a year earlier. Total revenue in the Latin America and Other International segments combined more than doubled, with combined segment contribution increasing 142%. These year-over-year increases are the result of continued strength in the company's Empeño Fácil business in Mexico, the acquisition of controlling interests in Crediamigo and Cash Genie, and the company's strategic investments in the United Kingdom and Australia. |
• | Storefront Growth − During the quarter, the company added 30 new stores (9 acquired and 21 de novo). So far this fiscal year, the company has added 139 new stores (94 acquired and 45 de novo) and now operates 1,250 locations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. |
• | Mexico Pawn Operations − Empeño Fácil, the company's Mexico pawn operation, continued its strong performance. Compared to the third quarter of last year, merchandise sales were up 59%, pawn service charges were up 37%, and pawn loan balances increased 37%. In a challenging gold environment, jewelry scrapping sales were up 6%. These year-over-year increases are attributable to the continued development and maturity of the existing store base and the addition of new stores. The company now operates 223 pawn stores in Mexico, having opened 45 this fiscal year. |
• | Consumer Lending Performance - Consumer loan balances increased to $79.1 million globally at June 30, driving consumer loan fees earned during the quarter up 38%. In addition, improved underwriting and collections effectiveness, coupled with the consolidation of the lower risk profile Crediamigo business, led to a significant improvement in bad debt as a percentage of consumer loan fees. In the U.S. & Canada segment, that measure improved 450 bps (from 28.4% to 23.9%), and on a consolidated basis, the measure improved 740 bps (from 28.4% to 21.0%). |
• | U.S. Pawn Performance − With the exception of jewelry sales and scrapping activities, the company's pawn operations in the United States showed continued strength. Merchandise sales were up 12%, with sales of general merchandise up 23%. Pawn loan balances grew 7% to $134.1 million at quarter-end, and pawn service charges increased 14%. |
• | Gold - Moderating gold prices and declining gram volume in the United States continued to negatively impact year-over-year profitability in the quarter. Fewer purchases of gold, coupled with less jewelry forfeited from pawn lending operations, resulted in a 26% decrease in same-store jewelry scrapping sales and a 19% same-store decrease in jewelry merchandise sales. The company estimates that, on a same-store basis, the change in gold metrics (price and volume) from the year-over-year quarter caused a decrease of $6 million in net revenue for the U.S. & Canada segment. |
• | Total revenues of $229.0 million, up 13%, were driven by a 16% increase in pawn service charges, a 38% increase in consumer loan fees and an 18% increase in merchandise sales. |
• | Net revenues of $145.3 million, were up 18%, with the increase attributable to improvement in bad debt expense. |
• | Net income was up 8% to $28.5 million, a company record for the third fiscal quarter, and diluted earnings per share were $0.56, up 6%. |
• | Combined loan balances (pawn and consumer loans, including CSO) at quarter-end were $250.0 million, up 43%, and reflected growth in all segments. Cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end were $51.8 million, with debt of $206.9 million (including Crediamigo third party debt of $92.2 million, all of which is non-recourse to EZCORP). |
• | Administrative expense of $22.7 million includes an $8.3 million increase over last year, $4.9 million of which result from the consolidation of Crediamigo and Cash Genie, which are not store-based operations. With the exception of sales commissions, the majority of their cost base is included in administrative expenses. The remainder includes the company's continued investment in growth and profitability initiatives. |
• | Income tax expense for the quarter was 30% of income before income taxes, compared with 35% last year, as the company's effective tax rate for the year was reduced from 35% to 33.5%, reflecting the success and growth of the company's business in areas outside the United States. |
• | The company continued to deliver strong return on average equity of 20% for the trailing twelve months. |
• | Crediamigo recorded total revenues of $10.8 million and bad debt as a percentage of fees of 6.1%, which produced net revenues of $10.2 million. During the quarter, Crediamigo refinanced a portion of its $92.2 million of third party debt at a lower rate of interest. This refinancing led to a one-time reduction in interest expense of $2.8 million during the third quarter due to accelerated amortization of debt premium associated with the refinanced debt. The lower interest rate will result in reduced interest expense going forward. When combined with business results and reduced by taxes and the noncontrolling interest, the net income attributable to EZCORP was $1.8 million for the quarter. Crediamigo is continuing to refinance other portions of its debt at lower interest rates, which will further enhance future profitability. |
• | On April 14, the company acquired 72% of the shares in Artiste Holding Limited, which provides online loans in the U.K. under the name “Cash Genie.” Cash Genie is one of the top 10 largest online lenders in the U.K. The company expects that Cash Genie will be accretive to earnings within its first year following acquisition. |
