On December 14, 2020, EZCORP, Inc. ("EZCORP") issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the year ended September 30, 2020. 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 quetzals 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 fiscal 2020 earnings conference call (to be held on December 15, 2020) will be posted in the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at www.ezcorp.com.

EZCORP Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Results
Austin, Texas (December 14, 2020) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW) today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
All amounts in this release are from EZCORP continuing operations and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") unless otherwise noted. Comparisons shown in this release are to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.
Results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were impacted by lower pawn service charges related to stimulus payments and ongoing COVID-19 headwinds, as well as charges and non-cash write-downs associated with the Company's efforts to simplify and streamline its business and other COVID-19 impacts. Given the typical delay between growth in pawn loan originations and pawn service charges, near-term pawn service charge revenue trends will continue to lag the recent stabilization and rebound in new loans made and pawn loans outstanding.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Chief Executive Officer Jason Kulas stated, "We continue to make progress on key strategic initiatives. First, we implemented a number of initiatives that will result in a reduction of annual corporate expenses of more than $12 million beginning in fiscal 2021. We have also lowered store-level operating costs by $14 million on an annualized basis. While a majority of those store-level savings will be added back as transaction activity continues to grow, we are realizing significant expense reductions, with an ongoing focus on extracting further operating efficiencies. Second, we continue to strengthen our core pawn business by increasingly leveraging data analytics across geographies to optimize pricing, productivity and returns. Third, recent efforts to rationalize non-core activities have included closing our CASHMAX business in Canada. Finally, we remain focused on innovation to broaden customer engagement across channels, improve the customer experience and capture new business. Our digital pawn servicing platform, Lana, and our other digital efforts have been refocused on achieving these goals.
"At EZCORP, we are focused on optimizing the unique and essential elements of our core pawn business to address customers’ short-term cash needs. We have implemented a culture of continuous operational improvements that will drive operating leverage as we grow and will improve earnings power and shareholder value over time. As we sharpen our focus on continuous improvement in our pawn business, our team is viewing all initiatives through the lens of whether they benefit our core business. We look forward to providing updates on these initiatives in future quarters."

RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020
Total revenues declined 22% to $166.9 million, and net revenues declined 26% to $89.6 million. These declines were driven by a reduction in revenue from pawn service charges (PSC), which was down 34% to $55.2 million as a result of lower average pawn loans outstanding (PLO) during the quarter.
PLO balance at the end of the quarter was $131.3 million, 34% below the prior-year quarter. Pawn loan demand was significantly reduced in the third quarter and into the fourth quarter following economic stimulus actions in the U.S. and constrained traffic in Latin America. Activity levels have started to normalize, with PLO increasing $18.0 million during the quarter as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
Operations expenses were $78.2 million, down $13.3 million, or 15%, $3.9 million of which is due to a reduction in accrued short-term and long-term incentive compensation. Administrative expenses decreased by $11.1 million due to a $17.0 million reduction in accrued short-term and long-term incentive compensation, offset by $4.9 million in increased labor costs.
Management implemented strategic initiatives to remove over $12 million in annual corporate expenses beginning in fiscal 2021 and $14 million related to store-level operating costs, a majority of which will be added back as transaction activity continues to increase.
Loss before taxes was $28.7 million and diluted loss per share was $0.42, compared to income before taxes of $0.4 million and diluted loss per share of $0.01, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis1, loss before taxes was $2.9 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.07, compared to profit before taxes of $10.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.13, respectively, in the prior-year quarter.



Net inventory of $95.9 million decreased 47%, reflecting annualized inventory turnover of 2.8x. Merchandise sales gross margin of 31% decreased 200 bps, but when excluding a $2.6 million increase in reserves resulting from the impact of COVID-19, merchandise sales gross margin was flat at 33%.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $147.0 million to $304.5 million as of the end of the quarter, with most of the increase attributable to the decline in PLO.
During the quarter, management began to implement cost savings and refocus initiatives designed to improve bottom line performance and position the Company for sustainable growth focused on the core pawn business. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded the following pre-tax charges in the quarter:
$6.4 million in severance benefits related to the elimination of certain management positions;
$4.9 million associated with the closure of the CASHMAX business in Canada and related operations;
$4.1 million associated with the closure of four stores in U.S. Pawn and three stores in Latin America Pawn; and
$5.0 million of other miscellaneous charges.

Adjusted EBITDA1
$(16.0)$12.1 $12.0 $19.3 
Total revenues decreased 22% to $166.9 million. PSC was down 34% to $55.2 million due to lower average PLO during the quarter. PLO increased 16% from June 30 to September 30, compared to a 5% sequential gain in the same period of the prior year.
Merchandise sales declined 2%, driven primarily by lower inventory levels.
Scrap sales declined 72% due to a lack of diamond scrap sales in the quarter as compared to the prior year. Jewelry scrap activity was lower than the prior year in response to lower inventory levels, but the impact of lower volume was lessened by margin improvement to 28%, as compared to 10% in the prior-year quarter. Gross profit on scrap sales decreased 24% to $1.7 million.
Net revenues were down 26% to $89.6 million. Consolidated merchandise sales gross profit decreased 7% to $32.3 million, while consolidated merchandise sales gross margin was 31%. When excluding a $2.6 million increase in inventory reserves resulting from the impact of COVID-19, consolidated merchandise sales gross margin was 33%.
Consolidated operations expenses decreased 15% primarily due to cost-cutting initiatives at the store level. Total pawn store count increased 1%, consisting of a net 13 stores opened since the end of the prior-year quarter. Administrative expense decreased 78% to $3.1 million, primarily due to a $17.0 million reduction in accrued short-term and long-term incentive compensation, offset by $4.9 million in increased labor costs.
SEGMENT RESULTS
U.S. Pawn
Total revenue was down 23%, reflecting the impact of lower average PLO on PSC revenue, which was down 32%.
PLO decreased 32% to $106.3 million, but increased $19.5 million, or 23%, since the end of June, compared to a 6% sequential increase during the same period of the prior year.
Gross profit on merchandise sales grew $0.7 million, or 2%, reflecting expanded sales margins, partially offset by a 3% reduction in merchandise sales volume, driven primarily by lower inventory levels. Merchandise sales gross margin was 37% (39%, when excluding an increase in inventory reserves of $1.4 million resulting from the impact of COVID-19), at the high end of our targeted range. Annualized inventory turns were 2.5x, a 32% increase over the prior year. Aged general merchandise inventory improved to 4% from 6% in the prior year.
Segment contribution decreased $14.6 million to $7.6 million. This decrease was the result of a $20.5 million reduction in PSC, partially offset by a $8.4 million reduction in operating expenses ($2.4 million of which attributable to a reduction in accrued short-term and long-term incentive compensation).  



Latin America Pawn
Merchandise sales grew 2%, to $27.3 million (11% to $30.0 million on a constant currency basis). Merchandise sales gross margin was 13% (17% when excluding an increase in inventory reserves of $1.2 million resulting from the impact of COVID-19). Aged general merchandise inventory increased to 8% from 6% in the prior year, but declined sequentially from 19% at the end of the prior quarter.  
PSC decreased 38% to $12.0 million (down 32% to $13.1 million on a constant currency basis) as a result of lower average PLO for the quarter and a lower yield on pawn loans, reflecting our commitment to work with customers by negotiating reduced interest payments on a case-by-case basis.
Net revenues decreased 40% to $16.0 million (down 33% to $17.8 million on a constant currency basis) primarily due to lower PSC.
Operations expense was tightly managed, down 16% to $16.4 million.
Latin America Pawn added seven de novo stores in the quarter. New store openings typically pressure earnings in the short term as they ramp up, but drive higher profitability over time.
Segment loss for the quarter was $3.9 million ($4.2 million on a constant currency basis), compared to a contribution of $5.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting lower PSC revenues.

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 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 twelve months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

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.
