CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Forward-Looking Information

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition, outlook and prospects of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). Forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations, outlook and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.

While the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report. Such factors and risks may include, without limitation, risks related to the extensive regulatory environment in which the Company operates, including uncertainty involving the current regulatory environment under the current presidential administration; risks associated with the legal and regulatory proceedings that the Company is a party to or may become a party to in the future, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) lawsuit filed against the Company; risks related to the Company’s acquisitions, including the failure of the Company’s acquisitions to deliver the estimated value and benefits expected by the Company and the ability of the Company to continue to identify and consummate acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all; potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for the Company’s pawn loan, retail, lease-to-own (“LTO”) and retail finance products; labor shortages and increased labor costs; a deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States and Latin America, including as a result of inflation, elevated interest rates and trade policy, which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending and demand for the Company’s products; currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso; competition the Company faces from other retailers and providers of retail payment solutions; the ability of the Company to successfully execute on its business strategies; contraction in sales activity at merchant partners of the Company’s retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions business; impact of store closures, financial difficulties or even bankruptcies at the merchant partners of the Company’s retail POS payment solutions business; the ability of the Company’s retail POS payment solutions business to continue to grow its base of merchant partners, including those outside of the furniture vertical; and other risks discussed and described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, and other reports filed with the SEC. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, nor can the Company predict, in many cases, all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report speak only as of the date of this quarterly report, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1 - General

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, includes the accounts of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions, and the results of operations for the acquisitions have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 3, 2025. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are unaudited, but in management’s opinion include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such interim periods. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Company has pawn operations in Latin America, where in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia, the functional currency is the Mexican peso, Guatemalan quetzal and Colombian peso. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date, and the resulting adjustments are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates occurring during the respective period. The Company also has pawn operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Rental income from Company owned property was reclassified out of “Administrative expenses” and included in “Other income, net” on the consolidated statements of income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 expands disclosures in the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-09 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the


Table of Contents

Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 - Operating Leases

Lessor

For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to the “Leased merchandise and revenue recognition” section of Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.

Lessee

The Company leases the majority of its pawnshop locations and certain administrative offices under operating leases and determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Many leases include both lease and non-lease components for which the Company accounts separately. Lease components include rent, taxes and insurance costs while non-lease components include common area or other maintenance costs. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use assets, lease liability, current and lease liability, non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases.

Leased facilities are generally leased for a term of three to five years with one or more options to renew for an additional three to five years, typically at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, the majority of these leases can be terminated early upon an adverse change in law which negatively affects the store’s profitability. The Company regularly evaluates renewal and termination options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and excludes these options from the lease term included in the recognition of the operating lease right of use asset and lease liability until such certainty exists. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.2 years as of March 31, 2025 and 3.9 years as of March 31, 2024.


Table of Contents

The operating lease right of use asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to groups of leases with similar characteristics. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 8.6% and 8.2%, respectively.

The Company has certain operating leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The liability related to these leases is considered a monetary liability and requires remeasurement each reporting period into the functional currency (Mexican pesos) using reporting date exchange rates. The remeasurement results in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses each reporting period, which can produce a certain level of earnings volatility.

Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The three fair value levels are (from highest to lowest):

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

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. There were no such events or conditions identified during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value, But for Which Fair Value is Disclosed

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024 that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

(1)Finance receivables, gross as of December 31, 2024 were $294.2 million. See Note 5.

As cash and cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Due to their short-term maturities, the carrying value of pawn loans and accounts receivable, net approximate fair value.

Finance receivables are measured at amortized cost, net of an allowance for loan losses on the consolidated balance sheets. In estimating fair value for finance receivables, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow methodology. The Company used various unobservable inputs reflecting its own assumptions, such as contractual future principal and interest cash flows, future charge-off rates and discount rates (which consider current interest rates and are adjusted for credit risk, among other factors).

The carrying value of the unsecured credit facilities approximates fair value as of March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of the unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the unsecured credit facilities have a variable interest rate based on the prevailing secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the Mexican Central Bank’s interbank equilibrium rate (“TIIE”) and reprice with any changes in SOFR or TIIE. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2028

On August 26, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due on September 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2028 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 2.75 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1. While the 2028 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2030

On December 13, 2021, the Company issued $550.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due on January 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1.

The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1. While the 2030 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provides the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2032

On February 21, 2024, the Company issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior unsecured notes due on March 1, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The 2032 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility.

The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2032 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings and other general claims. Although no assurances can be given, in management’s opinion, such outstanding proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all of the claims described below and intends to vigorously defend itself against such claims. However, legal and regulatory proceedings involve an inherent level of uncertainty and no assurances can be given regarding the ultimate outcome of any such matters or whether an adverse outcome would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred for any of its material outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings or to estimate a range of loss with respect to such proceeding, if any, and accordingly, no material amounts have been accrued in the Company’s financial statements for legal and regulatory proceedings.

On November 12, 2021, the CFPB initiated a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “District Court”) against FirstCash, Inc. and Cash America West, Inc., and later amended the complaint to include numerous Company subsidiaries as defendants. The CFPB’s lawsuit alleges violations of the MLA in connection with pawn transactions. The CFPB also alleges that these same alleged violations of the MLA constitute breaches of a 2013 CFPB consent order entered into by its predecessor company that, among other things, allegedly required the company and its successors to cease and desist from further MLA violations. The CFPB is seeking an injunction, redress for affected borrowers and a civil monetary penalty. After an initial period of pre-trial activity, the case was stayed on November 4, 2022, pending the Supreme Court review of the Fifth Circuit's decision in Community Financial v. CFPB. On May 29, 2024, the District Court lifted the stay, following the Supreme Court’s opinion in Community Financial v. CFPB. On November 7, 2024, the District Court denied the Company’s motion for partial summary judgement. The District Court has also ordered the parties to mediation. After an initial session in November 2024, the mediation was postponed pending the anticipated leadership transition at the CFPB. The District Court issued a stay order until June 2, 2025 to allow the parties to focus on settlement discussions. Another mediation session has been scheduled for May 14, 2025. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the action; however, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact.

Gold Forward Sales Contracts

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had contractual commitments to deliver a total of 54,500 gold ounces between April 2025 and December 2026 at a weighted-average price of $2,318 per ounce. The ounces required to be delivered over this time period are less than the historical volume of scrap gold normally produced, and the Company expects to have the required gold ounces to meet the commitments as they come due.

Note 9 - Segment Information

The Company organizes its operations into three reportable segments as follows:

•U.S. pawn

•Latin America pawn

•Retail POS payment solutions (American First Finance “AFF”)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

GENERAL

The Company’s primary line of business is the operation of retail pawn stores, also known as “pawnshops,” which focus on serving cash- and credit-constrained consumers. The Company is the leading operator of pawn stores in the U.S. and Latin America. Pawn stores help customers meet small short-term cash needs by providing non-recourse pawn loans and buying merchandise directly from customers. Personal property, such as jewelry, electronics, tools, appliances, sporting goods and musical instruments, is pledged and held as collateral for the pawn loans over the typical 30-day term of the loan. Pawn stores also generate retail sales primarily from the merchandise acquired through collateral forfeitures and over-the-counter purchases from customers.

The Company is also a leading provider of technology-driven, retail POS payment solutions focused on serving credit-constrained consumers. The Company’s retail POS payment solutions business line consists solely of the operations of AFF, which focuses on LTO products and facilitating other retail financing payment options across a large network of traditional and e-commerce merchant partners in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. AFF’s retail partners provide consumer goods and services to their customers and use AFF’s LTO and retail finance solutions to facilitate payments on such transactions.

The Company’s two business lines are organized into three reportable segments. The U.S. pawn segment consists of pawn operations in the U.S. while the Latin America pawn segment consists of pawn operations in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia. The retail POS payment solutions segment consists of the operations of AFF in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

OPERATIONS AND LOCATIONS

Pawn Operations

As of March 31, 2025, the Company operated 3,023 pawn store locations composed of 1,197 stores in 29 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, 1,724 stores in 32 states in Mexico, 72 stores in Guatemala, 18 stores in El Salvador and 12 stores in Colombia.

The following table details pawn store count activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

U.S. retail merchandise sales increased 6% to $251.2 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $237.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. Same-store retail sales increased 2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in total retail sales was primarily due to incremental sales contributions from acquired stores and an increase in same-store sales. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales in the U.S. was 42% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 41% during the first quarter of 2024.

U.S. inventories increased 14% to $246.2 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $216.8 million at March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to incremental inventories from acquired stores and an increase in same-store inventories as a result of the higher pawn loan balances. Inventories aged greater than one year in the U.S. were 2% at March 31, 2025 compared to 1% at March 31, 2024.

Pawn Lending Operations

U.S. pawn loan receivables as of March 31, 2025 increased 16% in total and 13% on a same-store basis compared to March 31, 2024. The Company believes the increase in same-store pawn receivables was primarily due to continued inflationary pressures driving additional demand for pawn loans and higher gold prices, which increased customers’ collateral value to borrow against.


Table of Contents

U.S. pawn loan fees increased 12% to $137.9 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $123.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. Same-store pawn loan fees increased 10% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in total and same-store pawn loan fees was primarily due to store growth and increased same-store pawn receivables.

Segment Expenses

U.S. operating expenses increased 8% to $129.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $118.9 million during the first quarter of 2024 while same-store operating expenses increased 6% compared with the prior-year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the average store count and increased labor and variable compensation expenses.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The U.S. segment pre-tax operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $113.1 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 27% compared to $96.6 million and 26% in the prior year, respectively. The increase in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin reflected increased net revenue from both acquired and existing stores, partially offset by an increase in segment expenses.

Latin America Pawn Segment

Latin American segment pre-tax operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by a 20% unfavorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar. The translated value of Latin American earning assets as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024 was also impacted by a 22% unfavorable change in the end-of-period Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar.

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

Latin America retail merchandise sales decreased 8% (9% increase on a constant currency basis) to $120.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $130.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. Same-store retail sales decreased 9% (9% increase on a constant currency basis) during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in constant currency total and same-store retail sales was primarily due to increased inventory levels during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales was 35% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 36% during the first quarter of 2024.

Latin America inventories increased 3% (24% increase on a constant currency basis) to $88.5 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $85.6 million at March 31, 2024. The increase in constant currency inventories was primarily due to increases in pawn loan receivable balances over the past several quarters creating more forfeited inventory and a slightly increased mix of


Table of Contents

higher value jewelry inventory. Inventories aged greater than one year in Latin America were 2% at March 31, 2025 compared to 1% at March 31, 2024.

Pawn Lending Operations

Latin America pawn loan receivables decreased 5% (15% increase on a constant currency basis) as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. On a same-store basis, pawn loan receivables decreased 5% (14% increase on a constant currency basis) as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. The increase in constant currency total and same-store pawn receivables is primarily due to increasing demand for pawn loans and larger loan sizes, driven in part by higher gold prices and a slightly increased mix of higher value jewelry loans.

Latin America pawn loan fees decreased 5% (13% increase on a constant currency basis), totaling $53.9 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $56.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. Same-store pawn fees also decreased 5% (13% increase on a constant currency basis) in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The constant currency increase in total and same-store pawn loan fees was primarily due to increased constant currency same-store pawn receivables.

Segment Expenses

Operating expenses decreased 9% (8% increase on a constant currency basis) to $61.4 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $67.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. Same-store operating expenses decreased 8% (8% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period. The constant currency increase in total and same-store operating expenses was primarily driven by increased store counts, accelerated store opening activity, general inflationary impacts and continued increases in the federally mandated minimum wage.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The segment pre-tax operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $31.4 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 17% compared to $31.9 million and 16% in the prior year, respectively. The decrease in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin reflected the decrease in net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

LTO Operations

Leased merchandise, before allowance for lease losses, decreased 32% as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced first quarter originations resulting from the bankruptcy filings in late 2024 for two of AFF’s larger retail furniture merchant partners (American Freight and Conn’s Home Plus).

The allowance for lease losses decreased 28% to $69.1 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $95.8 million as of March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to the decrease in leased merchandise, partially offset by slightly higher lease loss provisioning rates used during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to first quarter of 2024. As a percentage of lease merchandise, the allowance was 40% at March 31, 2025 and 38% at March 31, 2024.

Leased merchandise income decreased 24% to $156.9 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $205.7 million during the first quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to lower average leased merchandise balances outstanding during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Depreciation of leased merchandise decreased 26% to $89.1 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $120.8 million during the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in leased merchandise balances outstanding. As a percentage of leased merchandise income, depreciation of leased merchandise decreased from 59% during the first quarter of 2024 to 57% during the first quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of a decrease in customers taking advantage of early buyout or other early payment options.

Provision for lease losses decreased 36% to $27.6 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $43.2 million during the first quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to the 39% decrease in gross transaction volumes. As a percentage of gross transaction volume, the provision for lease losses increased slightly to 29% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 28% during the first quarter of 2024.

Retail Finance Operations

Finance receivables, before allowance for loan losses, increased 31% as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased gross transaction volumes in certain non-furniture industry verticals.

The allowance for loan losses increased 23% to $118.3 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $96.0 million as of March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to the increase in finance receivables, partially offset by lower loan loss provisioning rates used during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. As a percentage of finance receivables, the allowance was 45% at March 31, 2025 compared to 48% at March 31, 2024.

Interest and fees on finance receivables increased 28% to $73.4 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $57.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the higher year-over-year finance receivable balances, partially offset by a slight decline in portfolio yield primarily as a result of AFF expanding its offerings and merchant relationships in certain services sector verticals during the first quarter of 2025, some of which are provided at lower interest rates.

Provision for loan losses increased 20% to $36.4 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $30.4 million during the first quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to the 38% increase in gross transaction volume, partially offset by a decrease in the net provisioning rates used during the first quarter of 2025 based on lower than expected charge-off rates on older vintages. As a percentage of gross transaction volume, the provision for loan losses decreased to 26% during the first quarter of 2025 from 30% during the first quarter of 2024.

Segment Expenses

Operating expenses decreased 30% to $24.2 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $34.8 million during the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the elimination of certain expenses associated with supporting the American Freight and Conn’s Home Plus relationships along with continued realization of operating synergies, primarily in technology and development infrastructure, coupled with other cost reduction initiatives. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating expenses decreased to 11% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 13% during the first quarter of 2024.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The retail POS payment solutions segment pre-tax operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $52.3 million compared to $33.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily the result of the increase in segment net revenue and a decrease in operating expenses.

Corporate Expenses and Taxes

Administrative expenses increased 10% to $48.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $44.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the increase in the pawn store count and general inflationary impacts, partially offset by a 20% change in the average value of the Mexican peso resulting in lower U.S. dollar translated administrative expenses in Latin America. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses were 6% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 5% during the first quarter of 2024.


Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization decreased 3% to $12.8 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a scheduled $0.4 million decrease in amortization of acquired AFF intangible assets.

Interest expense increased 8% to $27.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to $25.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher average total long-term debt balances outstanding. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 were 24.8% and 25.1%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Material Capital Requirements

The Company’s primary capital requirements include the:

•Expansion of pawn operations through growth of pawn receivables and inventories in existing stores, new store openings, strategic acquisitions of pawn stores and purchases of underlying real estate at existing locations;

•Expansion of retail POS payment solutions operations through growth of the business generated from new and existing merchant partners; and

•Return of capital to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases.

Other material capital requirements include operating expenses (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding operating lease commitments), maintenance capital expenditures related to its facilities, technology platforms, general corporate operating activities, income tax payments and debt service, among others. The Company believes that net cash provided by operating activities and available and unused funds under its revolving unsecured credit facilities will be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital needs for these items over the next 12 months and also in the longer-term beyond the next 12 months.

Expand Pawn Operations

The Company intends to continue expansion of its pawn operations through growth of pawn receivables and inventories in existing stores along with new store openings and acquisitions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired one pawn store in the U.S. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions based upon growth potential, purchase price, available liquidity, strategic fit and quality of management personnel, among other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company also opened 10 new stores in Latin America and one location in the U.S.

For the full year of 2025, the Company expects to continue adding store locations through new store openings and acquisitions. Future store openings and acquisitions are subject to the Company’s ability to identify acquisition opportunities and new location sites in markets with attractive demographics and favorable regulatory environments.

Although viewed by management as a discretionary expenditure not required to operate its pawn stores, the Company may continue to strategically purchase real estate from its landlords at existing stores or in conjunction with pawn store acquisitions as opportunities arise at reasonable valuations. The Company purchased the real estate at seven store locations, primarily from landlords at existing stores, for a cumulative purchase price of $6.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Expand Retail POS Payment Solutions Operations

AFF expects to expand its business primarily by promoting and expanding relationships with both new and existing customers and retail merchant partners. In addition, AFF has made, and intends to continue to make, investments in its customer and merchant support operations and facilities, its technology platforms and its proprietary decisioning platforms and processes. In addition to utilizing cash flows generated from its own operations to fund expected 2025 growth, AFF has access to the additional sources of liquidity described below if needed to fund further expansion activities.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

In April 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.38 per share second quarter cash dividend on common shares outstanding, or an aggregate of $16.9 million based on the March 31, 2025 share count, to be paid on May 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2025. While the Company currently expects to continue the payment of quarterly cash dividends, the amount, declaration and payment of cash dividends in the future (quarterly or otherwise) will be made by the Board of Directors, from time to time, subject to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business requirements, compliance with legal requirements, debt covenant restrictions and other relevant factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 525,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $59.6 million and an average cost per share of $113.54. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. The aggregate cost and average cost per share do not include the effect of the 1% excise tax on certain share repurchases enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Company incurred $0.6 million of excise taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

In July 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for up to $200.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, of which $55.4 million is currently remaining. The Company intends to continue repurchases under its active share repurchase program, including through open market transactions under trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, liquidity needs, credit availability, debt covenant restrictions, general business and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, the market price of the Company’s stock, the Company’s dividend policy and the availability of alternative investment opportunities.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company regularly evaluates opportunities to optimize its capital structure, including through consideration of the issuance of debt or equity, to refinance existing debt and to enter into interest rate hedge transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity were $146.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $551.9 million of available and unused funds under the Company’s revolving unsecured credit facilities, subject to certain financial covenants (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company had working capital of $1,024.4 million as of March 31, 2025.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 included $65.7 million held by its foreign subsidiaries. These cash balances, which are primarily held in Mexican pesos, are associated with foreign earnings the Company has asserted are indefinitely reinvested and which the Company primarily plans to use to support its continued growth plans outside the U.S. through funding of capital expenditures, acquisitions, operating expenses or other similar cash needs of the Company’s foreign operations.

The Company’s liquidity is affected by a number of factors, including changes in general customer traffic and demand, pawn loan balances, loan-to-value ratios, collection of pawn fees, merchandise sales, inventory levels, LTO merchandise, finance receivable balances, collection of lease and finance receivable payments, seasonality, operating expenses, administrative expenses, expenses related to merger and acquisition activities, litigation-related expenses, tax rates, gold prices, foreign currency exchange rates and the pace of new pawn store expansion and acquisitions. Additionally, a prolonged reduction in earnings and EBITDA could limit the Company’s future ability to fully borrow on its credit facilities under current leverage covenants. Regulatory developments affecting the Company’s operations may also impact profitability and liquidity. See “Governmental Regulation Update.”

If needed, the Company could seek to raise additional funds from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, repatriation of excess cash held in Latin America, the sale of assets, reductions in operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends, the forbearance or deferral of operating expenses, the issuance of debt or equity securities, utilizing other structured financing arrangements, the leveraging of currently unencumbered real estate owned by the Company and/or changes to its management of current assets. The characteristics of the Company’s current assets, specifically the ability to rapidly liquidate gold jewelry inventory, which accounts for 55% of total inventory, give the Company flexibility to quickly increase cash flow if necessary.

Table of Contents

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION UPDATE

The Company’s pawn and retail POS payment solutions businesses are subject to significant regulation in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Existing regulations and regulatory developments are further and more completely described under “Governmental Regulation” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 3, 2025 and in subsequent documents filed with the SEC. Other than as described below, there have been no changes to the significant regulation that the Company’s businesses are subject to that the Company believes would have a material impact on its businesses or results of operation from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Actions of the current administration could result in changes in federal policy with significant impacts on the legal and regulatory framework affecting the industries in which the related consumers are involved. These changes, including restructuring and widespread personnel changes at the applicable regulatory agencies, may alter the nature and scope of oversight affecting such industries. The nature, timing and economic and political effects of potential changes affecting such industries generally remains uncertain and it is possible that such uncertainty may adversely affect the Company.

Recent developments regarding the operations of the CFPB under the new presidential administration are particularly noteworthy and illustrative of the uncertainty surrounding the future of the CFPB. There remains considerable uncertainty as to the future of the CFPB and the policy priorities of the CFPB under Acting Director Vought and any successor Director, including Jonathan McKernan who was nominated to be director of the CFPB by President Trump, but not yet confirmed. There is also considerable uncertainty as to how other federal and state regulators will react to any changes at the CFPB.

On October 6, 2017, the CFPB issued its small-dollar lending rule (the “SDL Rule”), which was subsequently revised on July 7, 2020. Traditional possessory, non-recourse pawn loans are not covered under the SDL Rule. The SDL Rule defines some of the RISA transactions that AFF purchases and some of the bank loans that AFF sub-services as transactions that are covered under the rule. After resolution of some challenges to the SDL Rule itself and the constitutionality of the CFPB, on July 3, 2024, trade groups filed a petition for a rehearing with the Fifth Circuit en banc. The Fifth Circuit did not grant the petition and the SDL Rule went into effect on March 30, 2025. The SDL Rule imposes certain obligations and limitations associated with the origination and servicing of covered transactions as of its effective date. At this time, the Company does not believe that the implementation of the SDL Rule will have a material impact on the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition. Under the new U.S. administration, the CFPB has recently announced that enforcement of the SDL Rule will not be a priority, and that the agency may seek new rulemaking to narrow its scope.

In addition, the United States, China, Canada, Mexico, European Union and other countries have imposed, or threatened to impose, new or enhanced, tariffs, quotas, trade barriers and other restrictions on imports into their respective territories. Numerous trade restrictions are currently in effect and such restrictions, coupled with the risk of retaliatory steps taken in response to such restrictions, could potentially serve to depress economic activity generally in the United States, adversely affecting consumers and contributing to general market volatility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company uses certain financial calculations such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and constant currency results as factors in the measurement and evaluation of the Company’s operating performance and period-over-period growth. The Company derives these financial calculations on the basis of methodologies other than GAAP, primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the SEC rules. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in operating its business because management believes they are less susceptible to variances in actual operating performance that can result from the excluded items, other infrequent charges and currency fluctuations. The Company presents these financial measures to investors because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the primary factors that drive the Company’s core operating performance and provide greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. However, items that are excluded and other adjustments and assumptions that are made in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial measures. Further, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.


Table of Contents

While acquisitions are an important part of the Company’s overall strategy, the Company has adjusted the applicable financial calculations to exclude merger and acquisition expenses and amortization of acquired AFF intangible assets. The Company does not consider these items to be related to the organic operations of the acquired businesses or its continuing operations and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired businesses. In addition, excluding these items allows for more accurate comparisons of the financial results to prior periods. Merger and acquisition expenses include incremental costs directly associated with merger and acquisition activities, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance, retention and other employee-related costs, contract breakage costs and costs related to the consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities, among others.

The Company has certain leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The lease liability of these U.S. dollar-denominated leases, which is considered a monetary liability, is remeasured into Mexican pesos using current period exchange rates, resulting in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these remeasurement gains or losses (1) because they are non-cash, non-operating items that could create volatility in the Company’s consolidated results of operations due to the magnitude of the end of period lease liability being remeasured and (2) to improve comparability of current periods presented with prior periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding items that management believes are non-operating in nature and are not representative of the Company’s core operating performance. In addition, management believes the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the current periods presented with the prior periods presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation between net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are shown net of tax (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and interest income and adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for certain items, as listed below, that management considers to be non-operating in nature and not representative of its actual operating performance. The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are commonly used by investors to assess a company’s financial performance, and adjusted EBITDA is used as a starting point in the calculation of the consolidated total debt ratio as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured notes. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

For purposes of its internal liquidity assessments, the Company considers free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less purchases of furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements and net fundings/repayments of pawn loan and finance receivables, which are considered to be operating in nature by the Company but are included in cash flow from investing activities. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow adjusted for merger and acquisition expenses paid that management considers to be non-operating in nature.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are commonly used by investors as additional measures of cash generated by business operations that may be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and debt service or, following payment of such debt obligations and other non-discretionary items, that may be available to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, repurchase stock, pay cash dividends or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. These metrics can also be used to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company’s liquidity. However, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (in thousands):


						Trailing Twelve
	Three Months Ended				Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,

Adjusted free cash flow	$	112,954	$	106,400		$	268,660	$	201,457

(1)Includes the funding of new loans net of cash repayments and recovery of principal through the sale of inventories acquired from forfeiture of pawn collateral.

Constant Currency Results

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, however, certain performance metrics discussed in this report are presented on a “constant currency” basis, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management uses constant currency results to evaluate operating results of business operations in Latin America, which are transacted in local currencies in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America, consistent with how the Company’s management evaluates such performance and operating results. Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating certain balance sheet and income statement items denominated in local currencies using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current comparable period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations for purposes of evaluating period-over-period comparisons. See the Latin America pawn segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional reconciliation of certain constant currency amounts to as reported GAAP amounts.
