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 and prospects of FirstCash, Inc. and its wholly owned ~~subsidiaries.~~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”~~“potential,” “confident,” “optimistic” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, ~~or guidance.~~guidance, expectations 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.

These forward-looking statements are made to provide the public with management’s current assessment of the Company’s business. Although 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 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 may include, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and regulatory developments discussed and described in (i) the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on ~~February 17, 2016,~~March 1, 2017, including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, (ii) in this quarterly report, ~~including the risks described in Part II, Item IA, “Risk Factors” hereof,~~ and (iii) the 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.

FIRSTCASH, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(~~Dollars in~~In thousands except per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, ~~2015~~2016, which is derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of FirstCash, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions and the results of operations for the acquired stores have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on ~~February 17, 2016.~~March 1, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and~~ ~~2015~~, and for the three month ~~and nine month~~ periods ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and~~ ~~2015~~, 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 ~~periods~~period ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

aggregate Merger consideration based on the fair values of those identifiable assets and liabilities. The purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company manages its pawn and consumer loan operations under three operating segments: U.S. pawn operations, U.S. consumer loan operations and Latin America pawn and consumer loan operations. The three operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics and similar long-term financial performance metrics. Additionally, all three segments offer similar and overlapping products and services to a similar customer demographic and are supported by a single, centralized administrative support platform.

~~A small component~~finalizes the analysis of the ~~Company’s business includes~~fair value at the ~~offering~~date of ~~check cashing services through franchised check cashing centers, for which~~the Merger. The final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed within the twelve month measurement period from the date of the Merger as required by applicable accounting guidance. Due to the significance of the Merger, the Company ~~receives franchise fees. In addition, in some~~may use all of ~~its Company-operated lending locations,~~this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the ~~Company offers check cashing services, as well as prepaid debit cards that are issued~~fair values of assets acquired and ~~serviced through a third party.~~liabilities assumed.

The Company has significant operations in Latin America, where in Mexico and Guatemala ~~to a lesser extent, where~~ the functional currency is the Mexican peso and Guatemalan quetzal, respectively. 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. ~~Revenue~~Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates occurring during the three month ~~and nine month~~ periods ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 and ~~2015.~~2016. The Company also has operations in El Salvador where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

~~Significant Accounting Policies~~

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to significant accounting policies previously reported in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K. These policies have been added or amended due to the Merger.

~~Investment in common stock of Enova International, Inc. -~~ As a result of the Merger, the Company holds an investment in common stock of Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), a publicly traded company focused on providing online consumer lending products. The shares of Enova common stock held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale, and unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These shares are



~~Table of Contents~~

~~carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 based on the market-determined stock price of Enova.~~

The Company evaluates its investment in common stock of Enova for impairment if circumstances arise that indicate that an impairment may exist. If an impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary-impairment is identified.

~~Credit loss provisions~~ - The Company has determined no allowance related to credit losses on pawn loans is required as the fair value of the pledged collateral is significantly in excess of the pawn loan amount. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on consumer loans on an aggregate basis at a level it considers sufficient to cover estimated losses in the collection of its consumer loans. The allowance for credit losses is based primarily upon historical credit loss experience, with consideration given to recent credit loss trends and changes in loan characteristics (e.g., average amount financed and term), delinquency levels, collateral values, economic conditions and underwriting and collection practices. The allowance for credit losses is periodically reviewed by management with any changes reflected in current operations.

The Company fully reserves or charges off consumer loans once the loan has been classified as delinquent for 60 days. Short-term loans are considered delinquent when payment of an amount due is not made as of the due date. Installment loans are considered delinquent when a customer misses two payments. If a loan is estimated to be uncollectible before it is fully reserved, it is charged off at that point. Recoveries on loans previously charged to the allowance, including the sale of delinquent loans to unaffiliated third parties, are credited to the allowance when collected or when sold to a third party. The Company generally does not accrue interest on delinquent consumer loans. In addition, delinquent consumer loans generally may not be renewed, and if, during its attempt to collect on a delinquent consumer loan, the Company allows additional time for payment through a payment plan or a promise to pay, it is still considered delinquent. Generally, all payments received are first applied against accrued but unpaid interest and fees and then against the principal balance of the loan.

The Company offers a fee-based credit services organization program (“CSO Program”) to assist consumers in Texas and Ohio markets in obtaining extensions of credit. The Company’s consumer loan stores and select pawn stores in Texas and Ohio offer the CSO Program and credit services are also offered via an internet platform for Texas residents. Under the CSO Program, the Company assists customers in applying for a short-term extension of credit from an independent, non-bank, consumer lending company (the “Independent Lender”) and issues the Independent Lender a letter of credit to guarantee the repayment of the extension of credit. These letters of credit constitute a guarantee for which the Company is required to recognize, at the inception of the guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the letters of credit. According to the letter of credit, if the borrower defaults on the extension of credit, the Company will pay the Independent Lender the principal, accrued interest, insufficient funds and late fee, if applicable, all of which the Company records as a component of its credit loss provision. The Company is entitled to seek recovery, directly from its customers, of the amounts it pays the Independent Lender in performing under the letters of credit. The Company records the estimated fair value of the liability under the letters of credit in accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of the liability under the letters of credit is periodically reviewed by management with any changes reflected in current operations.

~~Revisions and Reclassifications~~

Certain amounts for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2016 presentation. See “—Recent accounting pronouncements” below regarding the impact of the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) on the classification of debt issuance costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, after the impact of the revision to deferred tax assets described below, the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” at December 31, 2015 resulted in a $6,632 decrease in current deferred tax assets, a $26,665 increase in non-current deferred tax assets and a $20,033 increase in non-current deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015.

The Company revised certain previously reported amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 for the correction of prior period errors. ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” provides an exception to recording deferred tax attributes associated with foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in comprehensive income. In July 2013, the Company terminated an election to include foreign subsidiaries in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and it is the Company’s intent to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of these subsidiaries outside the U.S. The Company had incorrectly recorded a deferred tax asset on these accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments in prior periods. The correction of the error resulted in a reduction in comprehensive income of $7,538 and $12,318 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and a decrease in deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $26,428 as of September 30, 2015, but had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income or cash flows. In addition, see Note



~~Table of Contents~~

9 for a description of revisions made to the condensed consolidating guarantor financial statements. The Company has evaluated the effects of these errors, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that they did not have a material impact on any previously issued financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional ~~disclosures~~disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In addition, between March 2016 and ~~May~~December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting revenue gross versus net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”) ~~and~~, ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), and ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”). ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU ~~2016-12~~2016-20 clarify certain aspects of ASU 2014-09 and provide additional implementation guidance. ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ~~and~~ ASU 2016-12 and



Table of Contents

ASU 2016-20 become effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities are permitted to apply ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU ~~2016-12~~2016-20 either retrospectively or through an alternative transition model. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU ~~2016-12~~2016-20 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-03, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-15, which clarified the guidance in ASU 2015-03 regarding presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC Staff announced they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a $3,627, $4,288 and $4,126 decrease in other non-current assets and senior unsecured notes in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company elected to present debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving unsecured credit facilities as an asset as allowed in ASU 2015-15.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method are excluded from the scope of this update. ASU 2015-11 requires prospective application and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company ~~does not expect~~adopted ASU 2015-11 as of January 1, 2017 and the guidance was applied prospectively. The Company determined there were no changes to ~~have a material effect on~~ the Company’s ~~current~~ financial position, results of operations, or financial statement ~~disclosures.~~disclosures or valuation of inventory.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize, in the statement of financial position, a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. An entity will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). Under ASU 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all



~~Table of Contents~~

excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. ASU 2016-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted and requires either prospective or retrospective application depending on the item addressed. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 during the third quarter of 2016, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

~~Note 2~~In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - ~~Merger~~Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides amendments to clarify the definition of a business and ~~Other Acquisitions~~

~~Cash America Merger~~

~~On September 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced merger of equals business combination with Cash America~~affects all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Cash America, and Frontier Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Cash America merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, the Company changed its name to FirstCash, Inc. and listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FCFS.” The headquarters of the combined company was moved to the former Cash America headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. The Merger creates the largest combined retail pawn store operator in Latin America and the United States, with over 2,000 locations across four countries. The combined company provides significant scale and a unified platform for leadership in the pawn industry while keeping the strong local presence and established brands from both companies.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each former share of Cash America common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to September 1, 2016 was converted to 0.84 shares of the Company’s common stock with fractional shares paid in cash. As a result, the Company issued approximately 20,181,000 shares of its common stock to former holders of Cash America common stock. Immediately following the Merger, the Company’s shareholders owned approximately 58% of the common stock of the Company, and the former Cash America shareholders owned approximately 42%. Additionally, Cash America employee and director based restricted stock awards outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were fully-vested and paid out in cash in conjunction with the closing of the Merger. The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger.



~~Table of Contents~~

~~The following table summarizes the consideration transferred in connection with the merger:~~

Cash America
Merger
Cash America shares outstanding at September 1, 2016 (in thousands) 24,025
Exchange ratio 0.84
Shares of First Cash common stock issued (in thousands) 20,181
Company common stock per share price at September 1, 2016 $ 50.32
Fair value of Company common stock issued to Cash America shareholders $ 1,015,507
Cash in lieu of fractional shares paid by the Company 10
Cash America outstanding stock awards settled in cash 50,760
Aggregate merger consideration $ 1,066,277

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocated the aggregate merger consideration based on the preliminary fair values of those identifiable assets and liabilities. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company completes the analysis of the fair value at the date of the Merger. The final determination of the fair valueacquisitions (or disposals) of assets ~~acquired~~or businesses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and ~~liabilities assumed will~~interim periods within those fiscal years and should be completed within the 12-month measurement period from the date of the Merger as required by applicable accounting guidance. Due to the significance of the Merger, the Company may use all of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

~~The preliminary allocation of the aggregate merger consideration is as follows:~~

Cash America
Merger
Cash and cash equivalents $ 42,520
Pawn loans 234,761
Pawn loan fees and service charges receivable 26,893
Consumer loans, net 27,549
Inventory 224,948
Income taxes receivable 23,095
Other current assets 27,018
Investment in common stock of Enova International, Inc. 60,785
Property and equipment 119,414
Goodwill ⁽¹⁾
555,096
Intangible assets ⁽²⁾
102,000
Other non-current assets 62,993
Current liabilities ⁽³⁾
(96,080 )
Customer deposits (21,536 )
Revolving unsecured credit facility ⁽⁴⁾
(232,000 )
Deferred tax liabilities (13,517 )
Other liabilities (77,662 )
Aggregate merger consideration $ 1,066,277

⁽¹⁾

The goodwill is attributable to the excess of the aggregate merger consideration over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is considered to represent the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Cash America. This goodwill has been assigned to the U.S. pawn operations reporting unit. Approximately $223,000 of the goodwill arising from the Merger is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.


⁽²⁾	~~Intangible assets acquired and the respective useful lives assigned consist of the following:~~



~~Table of Contents~~

Amount Useful life (in years)
Trade names $ 46,300
Indefinite
Pawn licenses 32,300
Indefinite
Customer relationships 14,700
Five
Non-compete agreements 8,700
Two
$ 102,000

The customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method that reflects the future cash flows expected from the returning pawn customers of Cash America. The non-compete agreements are being amortized over a straight-line basis over the life of the non-compete agreements. As the trade names and pawn licenses have indefinite lives, they are not amortized.


⁽³⁾	~~Includes acquired contingent liabilities of approximately $21,500.~~


⁽⁴⁾	Represents outstanding borrowings under Cash America’s revolving unsecured credit facility that became due upon completion of the Merger. The Cash America revolving unsecured credit facility was repaid by the Company using proceeds from the 2016 Credit Facility (as described in Note 6) and was terminated upon completion of the Merger.

Transaction costs associated with the Merger are being expensed as incurred and are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of income as merger and other acquisition expenses. These expenses include investment banking, legal, accounting, and other related third party costs associated with the Merger, including preparation for regulatory filings and shareholder approvals. See Note 4 for further information about merger and other acquisition expenses.

~~Other Acquisitions~~

The Company completed other acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as described below, consistent with its strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in selected markets. The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn stores acquired.

The Company acquired the operating entity owning the pawn loans, inventory, layaways and other operating assets and liabilities of 166 pawn stores located in Mexico on January 6, 2016 and the assets of 13 pawn stores located in El Salvador on February 2, 2016 in related transactions (collectively the “Latin America Acquisition”). The combined purchase price for the all-cash transaction was $30,123, net of cash acquired before certain post-closing adjustments. Subsequent to the acquisition, $229 of post closing adjustments were identified, resulting in a combined purchase price of $29,894, net of cash acquired and is subject to further post-closing adjustments. The purchase was composed of $27,357 in cash paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and remaining payables to the sellers of approximately $2,537. In addition, the Company assumed approximately $6,630 in peso-denominated debt from these acquisitions which was repaid in full by the Company in January 2016. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, as the Company is gathering information to finalize the valuation of these assets and liabilities. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the locations are included in the Company’s consolidated resultsapplied prospectively as of the ~~acquisition dates.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, one pawn store located in the U.S. was acquired by the Company (“U.S. Acquisition”) for an all-cash aggregate purchase price of $824, net of cash acquired. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company also paid $575 of deferred purchase price amounts payable related to prior-year acquisitions.

~~Note 4 - Merger and Other Acquisition Expenses~~

The Company has incurred significant expenses in connection with the Merger and integration with Cash America. The merger related expenses are predominantly incremental costs directly associated with the merger and integration of Cash America, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance, retention and other employee-related costs, accelerated vesting of certain equity compensation awards, contract breakage costs and costs related to consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities. In addition, the Company has incurred transaction and integration costs in connection with the Company’s other acquisitions. The Company presents merger and other acquisition expenses separately in the condensed consolidated statements of income to identify these activities apart from the expenses incurred to operate the business.

⁽²⁾	For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, the Company made severance and retention payments of $9,497 and as of September 30, 2016 had $4,371 accrued for future payments. Accrued severance and retention is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~Note 5 - Investment in Common Stock of Enova~~

As a result of the Merger, the Company acquired Cash America’s investment in common stock of Enova, a publicly traded company focused on providing online consumer lending products. The shares of Enova common stock held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale, and unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These shares are carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 based on the market-determined stock price of Enova. Pursuant to a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service obtained by Cash America prior to the Merger, the Company must dispose of the Enova common stock by September 15, 2017.

circumstances. The Company does not ~~account~~expect ASU 2017-01 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for ~~its investment~~Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). These amendments eliminate step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in ~~Enova common stock under the equity method~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for ~~the following reasons.~~interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017 and should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material effect on the ~~ability to significantly influence the strategy or the operating~~Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial policies of Enova. The Company does not share employees or management with Enova and does not participate in any policy-making process of Enova. The Company does not have the right to vote on matters put before Enova stockholders because it has granted Enova a proxy to vote its shares in the same proportion as the other stockholders of Enova on all such matters. In addition, the Company has agreed to divest its ownership in Enova prior to September 15, 2017, as discussed above. While Daniel R. Feehan, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, serves as one of nine members of Enova’s Board of Directors, he does not serve on any committees of Enova’s Board of Directors, and the Company is not able to influence his future election to Enova’s Board of Directors because it does not have independent voting power with respect to the shares of Enova that it owns. The Company also does not have any material business relationships with Enova.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned 5,666,000 shares, equal to approximately 17% of the outstanding Enova common stock as of September 30, 2016, with a basis of approximately $57,570. Based on the market value of the Enova common stock as of September 30, 2016, an unrealized loss of $1,753, net of tax, was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016. The Company sold 317,000 shares in open market and small block sales during the same periods, resulting in a loss on sale of $253. Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Company sold approximately 1,200,000 additional shares in open market and small block sales.statement disclosures.

Note 3 - Long-Term Debt

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 24, 2014, the Company issued $200,000 of 6.75% senior notes due on April 1, 2021 (the “Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The Notes carry optional redemption features whereby the Company has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after April 1, 2020 at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and on or after April 1, 2017 at par plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The 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 the 2016 Credit Facility (as defined below). The Notes permit the Company to make certain restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, within certain parameters, the most restrictive of which generally limits such restricted payments to 50% of net income, adjusted for certain items as described in the indenture. As of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017, 2016 ~~2015~~ and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, deferred debt issuance costs of ~~$3,627, $4,288~~$3,279, $3,963 and ~~$4,126,~~$3,455, respectively, are included as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Notes in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revolving Credit Facilities

~~During the period from January 1, 2016 through September 1, 2016,~~At March 31, 2017, the Company maintained a ~~revolving~~ line of credit ~~agreement~~ with a group of U.S. based commercial lenders (the ~~“2015~~“2016 Credit Facility”) in the amount of ~~$210,000,~~$400,000, which ~~was scheduled to mature~~matures in October 2020. The 2015 Credit Facility charged interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (with interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (2) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%.

On September 1, 2016 and in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company amended and extended the 2015 Credit Facility (as amended, the “2016 Credit Facility”). The total lender commitment under the 2016 Credit Facility increased from $210,000 to $400,000 and the number of participating lenders increased from five to eight. Additionally, the term of the 2016 Credit Facility was extended to September 2021, five years from the closing date of the Merger, and is unsecured as the amendment removed the pledge of 65% of the voting equity interests of the Company’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries included in the 2015 Credit Facility. Also in connection with the Merger, all of Cash America’s previously outstanding 5.75% senior notes due 2018 (the “Cash America Notes”) were redeemed and Cash America’s previously outstanding credit agreement and related credit facilities were terminated.

2021. At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company had ~~$360,000~~$137,000 in outstanding borrowings ~~which were primarily used to fund the redemption of the Cash America Notes and to refinance all amounts outstanding under Cash America’s credit facilities and the 2015 Credit Facility,~~ and $5,956 in outstanding letters of credit under the 2016 Credit Facility, leaving ~~$34,044~~$257,044 available for future borrowings. The 2016 Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (with interest periods of 1 week or 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (ii) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%. The agreement has a LIBOR floor of 0%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50% on the average daily unused portion of the 2016 Credit Facility commitment. The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the ~~2015~~2016 Credit Facility at ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 was ~~3.06%~~3.50% based on ~~30-day~~1 week LIBOR. Under the terms of the 2016 Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants and ~~allows~~ the Company is allowed to make certain restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock, within certain parameters provided the Company maintains compliance with those financial ratios and covenants after giving effect to such restricted payments. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains customary restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, make investments, consummate acquisitions and similar negative covenants with customary carve-outs and baskets. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the 2016 Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company ~~received~~made net ~~proceeds~~payments of ~~$302,000 from borrowings~~$123,000 pursuant to the ~~2015 Credit Facility and~~ 2016 Credit Facility.

At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company maintained a U.S. dollar denominated line of credit with a bank in Mexico (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 2.0% and matures in December 2017. Under the terms of the Mexico Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the Mexico Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The Company is required to pay a one-time commitment fee of $25 due when the first amount is drawn/borrowed. At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $10,000 was available for borrowings.

Note 74 - 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

Prior to the Merger, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 are as follows:

As cash and cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value. Due to their short-term maturities, the carrying value of pawn loans and ~~pawn~~ loan fees and service charges receivable approximate fair value. Short-term loans and installment loans, collectively, represent consumer loans, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are carried net of the allowance for estimated loan losses, which is calculated by

applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these loans include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan terms; therefore, the carrying value approximated the fair value.

The carrying value of the Company’s prior credit facilities approximated fair value as of ~~September 30, 2015 and December~~March 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The carrying value of the Company’s current credit facilities (the 2016 Credit Facility and the Mexico Credit Facility) approximated fair value as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes have been estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate representing the Company’s estimate of the rate that would be used by market participants. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.

Note 85 - ~~Commitments and Contingencies~~Segment Information

~~On June 26, 2015, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB,~~The Company organizes its operations into two reportable segments as trustee (the “Trustee”) under Cash America’s 2018 Senior Notes Indenture that governed the Cash America 2018 Senior Notes (the “2018 Senior Notes Indenture”), filed a lawsuit against Cash Americafollows:

U.S. operations - Includes all pawn and consumer loan operations in the ~~United States District Court~~U.S.

Latin America operations - Includes all pawn and consumer loan operations in Latin America, which currently includes operations in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador

The following tables present reportable segment information for the Southern District of New York (the “Senior Notes Lawsuit”). The Senior Notes Lawsuit alleged that the spin-off of Enova (the “Enova Spin-off”) completed by Cash America in November 2014 was not permitted by the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture,three month period ended March 31, 2017 and the Trustee requested a remedy equal to principal and accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium, to be paid to the holders of the 2018 Senior Notes. Cash America disagreed with the assertion in the lawsuit that the Enova Spin-off was not permitted under the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture and also disagreed that a make-whole premium would be due to the holders of the 2018 Senior Notes even if it was determined that the Enova Spin-off was not permitted under the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture.2016:

In August 2016, Cash America notified the Trustee that, pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture, it intended to redeem all of the outstanding 2018 Senior Notes at the end of August at the then make-whole premium called for by the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture. On September 1, 2016, the Merger was completed and immediately prior to the close of the Merger, the 2018 Senior Notes were redeemed and extinguished by Cash America.

Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. In conjunction with the Merger, Frontier Merger Sub, LLC, the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is included as a Guarantor Subsidiary. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, the balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows of FirstCash, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Parent Company’s other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim condensed financial information and does not include the more complete disclosures included in annual financial statements. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries have been presented under the equity method of accounting. The principal eliminating entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances and intercompany revenues and expenses. The condensed financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Guarantor Subsidiaries or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated as independent entities.

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, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as with 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, ~~2015~~2016. References in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to “year-to-date” refer to the ~~nine-month~~three-month period from January 1, ~~2016~~2017 to ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017.

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Cash America International, Inc. (“Cash America”), whereby Cash America merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). ~~Following the Merger, the Company changed its name from First Cash Financial Services, Inc. to FirstCash, Inc.~~ The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated ~~statements~~results of ~~income~~operations for the three ~~month and nine month periods~~months ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 include the results of operations for Cash America, ~~for the period September 2,~~affecting comparability of 2017 and 2016 ~~to September 30, 2016.~~amounts. The ~~accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2016 includes the preliminary~~Company has performed a valuation analysis of ~~the~~identifiable assets acquired and liabilities ~~assumed. See Note 2~~assumed and allocated the aggregate Merger consideration based on the fair values of those identifiable assets and liabilities. The purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company finalizes the analysis of the ~~accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about~~fair value at the date of the Merger. The final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed within the twelve month measurement period from the date of the Merger as required by applicable accounting guidance. Due to the significance of the Merger, the Company may use all of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

~~Dollars in~~In thousands except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated.

GENERAL

The Company is a leading operator of retail-based pawn stores with over 2,000 store locations in the ~~United States~~U.S. and Latin America. The Company’s pawn stores generate significant retail sales primarily from the merchandise acquired through collateral forfeitures and over-the-counter purchases from customers. The Company’s pawn stores are also a convenient source for small consumer loans to help customers meet their short-term cash needs. Personal property such as consumer electronics, jewelry, power tools, household appliances, sporting goods and musical instruments are pledged as collateral for the loans. In addition, some of the Company’s pawn stores offer consumer loans or credit services products. The Company’s strategy is to focus on growing its retail-based pawn operations in the ~~United States~~U.S. and Latin America through new store openings and strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. Pawn operations accounted for 95% and 97% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reported its results in one reportable segment, which aggregated the Company’s U.S. and Latin America operations. Primarily as a result of the Merger, the Company organized its operations during the fourth quarter of 2016 into two reportable segments: the U.S. operations segment and the Latin America operations segment. The U.S. operations segment consists of all pawn and consumer loan operations in the U.S. and the Latin America operations segment consists of all pawn and consumer loan operations in Latin America, which currently includes operations in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador.

The Company ~~accrues~~recognizes pawn loan fee revenue on a constant-yield basis over the life of the pawn loan for all pawn loans ~~that~~of which the Company deems collection to be probable based on historical redemption statistics. If a pawn loan is not repaid prior to the expiration of the loan term, including any automatic extension or grace period, if applicable, the property is forfeited to the Company and transferred to inventory at a value equal to the principal amount of the loan, exclusive of accrued ~~interest.~~pawn fee revenue. The Company records merchandise sales revenue at the time of the sale. The Company presents merchandise sales net of any sales or value-added taxes collected. The Company does not provide direct financing to customers for the purchase of its merchandise, but does permit its customers to purchase merchandise on an interest-free layaway plan. Should the customer fail to make a required payment pursuant to a layaway plan, the previous payments are typically forfeited to the Company. Interim payments from customers on layaway sales are recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recorded as income during the period in which final payment is received or when previous payments are forfeited to the Company. Some jewelry is melted at a third-party facility and the precious metal and diamond content is sold at either prevailing market commodity prices or a previously agreed upon price with a commodity buyer. The Company records revenue from these wholesale scrap jewelry transactions when a price has been agreed upon and the Company ships the ~~jewelry~~commodity to the buyer.



Table of Contents

The Company operates a small number of stand-alone consumer finance stores in the U.S. and Mexico. These stores provide consumer financial services products including credit services, consumer loans and check cashing. In addition, ~~375~~369 of the Company’s pawn stores also offer credit services and/or consumer loans as an ancillary product. Consumer loan and credit services revenue accounted for 5% and 3% of consolidated revenue during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company recognizes service fee income on consumer ~~loans and credit services~~loan transactions on a constant-yield basis over the life of the loan orand recognizes credit services fees ratably over the life of the extension ~~which is generally 180 days or less.~~of credit made by independent third-party lenders. Changes in the valuation reserve on consumer loans and credit services transactions are charged or credited to the consumer loan credit loss provision. The credit loss provision associated with the Company’s credit services organization program ~~(“CSO Program”)~~ and consumer loans is based primarily upon historical credit loss experience, with consideration given to recent credit loss trends, delinquency rates, economic conditions and management’s expectations of future credit losses.



~~Table of Contents~~

Stores included in the same-store calculations presented in this quarterly report are those stores that were opened or acquired prior to the beginning of the prior-year comparative period and remained open through the end of the ~~measurement~~reporting period. Also included are stores that were relocated during the applicable period within a specified distance serving the same market where there is not a significant change in store size and where there is not a significant overlap or gap in timing between the opening of the new store and the closing of the existing store. ~~Accordingly,~~Unless otherwise noted, same-store calculations exclude the results of the merged Cash America stores. Legacy Cash America same-store calculations refer to Cash America stores ~~except as noted herein.~~that were opened prior to the beginning of the prior-year comparative period (although not then owned by the Company) and remained open through the end of the reporting period.

Operating expenses consist of all items directly related to the operation of the Company’s stores, including salaries and related payroll costs, rent, utilities, facilities maintenance, advertising, property taxes, licenses, supplies and security. Administrative expenses consist of items relating to the operation of the corporate offices, including the compensation and benefit costs of corporate management, area supervisors and other operations management personnel, collection operations and personnel, accounting and administrative costs, information technology costs, liability and casualty insurance, outside legal and accounting fees and stockholder-related expenses. Merger and other acquisition expenses primarily include incremental costs directly associated with the ~~merger~~Merger and integration of Cash America, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance, retention and other employee-related costs, accelerated vesting of certain equity compensation awards, contract breakage costs and costs related to consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities.

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations. Therefore, operating results for the current quarter ~~and year-to-date periods~~ are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. Typically, the Company experiences seasonal growth of service fees in the third and fourth quarter of each year due to loan balance growth. Service fees generally decline in the first and second quarter of each year after the heavy repayment period of pawn loans associated with statutory bonuses received by customers in the fourth quarter in Mexico and with tax refund proceeds received by customers in the first quarter in the U.S. Retail sales are seasonally higher in the fourth quarter associated with holiday shopping, and to a lesser extent, in the first quarter associated with tax refunds.

~~OPERATIONS AND LOCATIONS~~

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 2,081 store locations in 26 U.S. states, 32 states in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, which represents a net store-count increase of 99% over the number of stores at September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the Merger and other acquisitions in Latin America.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenue and expenses, and disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates, assumptions and judgments are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The significant accounting policies that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results have been reported in the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K. ~~Other than as described in Note 1 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, there~~There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

Latin America retail merchandise sales increased 4% (17% on a constant currency basis) to $66,328 during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $63,715 for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to an 11% increase in same-store constant currency retail sales. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales was 36% during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016.

Inventories in Latin America increased 24% (33% on a constant currency basis) from $40,760 at March 31, 2016 to $50,634 at March 31, 2017. The increase was consistent with the growth in store counts from store openings in Latin America and the maturation of existing stores. The shift in the composition of pawn inventory from general merchandise to jewelry was primarily due to larger jewelry counts carried in certain stores as of March 31, 2017, as the Company modified the scrap processing schedule in certain Latin America stores during 2016 to collect scrap jewelry on a less frequent basis to more efficiently manage the collection process.

Administrative Expenses, ~~Merger~~Depreciation and ~~Other Acquisition Expenses,~~Amortization, Interest ~~Taxes~~ and ~~Income~~Taxes

Administrative expenses increased ~~109%~~92% to ~~$24,500~~$33,238 during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016~~2017 compared to ~~$11,733~~$17,268 during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2015,~~2016, primarily as a result of the Merger and a ~~47%~~65% increase in the weighted-average store count resulting in additional management and supervisory compensation and other support expenses required for such growth, partially offset by a ~~14%~~13% decline in the average value of the Mexican peso, which reduced comparative administrative expenses in Mexico. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses ~~increased~~decreased from 9% during the first quarter of 2016 to 7% during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2015 to 9% during the third quarter of 2016~~2017 primarily due to synergies realized from the Merger and the ~~211 Latin America stores acquired~~previously disclosed Maxi Prenda acquisition (“Maxi Prenda Acquisition”) in late 2015 and early 2016.

~~Merger~~Depreciation and ~~other acquisition expenses~~amortization increased to ~~$29,398 in~~$5,427 during the ~~third~~first quarter of 2017 compared to $789 during the first quarter of 2016 ~~compared~~primarily due to ~~$0 for~~ the ~~third quarter~~assumption of ~~2015, reflecting transaction~~substantial corporate property and ~~integration costs primarily~~equipment and $2,558 in amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired as a result of the Merger.

Interest expense increased to ~~$5,073~~$6,113 in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016~~2017 compared to ~~$4,336~~$4,460 for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2015.~~2016. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

For the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, the Company’s effective federal income tax rates were ~~433.8%~~37.5% and ~~31.2%~~33.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to ~~certain significant merger related expenses being non-deductible for~~the increase in taxable U.S. sourced income ~~tax purposes. The Company expects~~due to the ~~effective~~Merger, which is subject to a higher tax rate ~~for the remainder of 2016 to be between 34%~~than taxable income sourced in Latin America, and ~~35%, reflecting the blended statutory federal~~certain additional foreign tax ~~rates of 35%~~expenses incurred in the ~~U.S. and 30% in Mexico.~~first quarter of 2017.

Net income decreased 113% to a loss of $1,412 during the third quarter of 2016 compared to income of $11,173 during the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to merger and other acquisition expenses and the weaker value of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of Cash America’s results following the Merger and continued growth in core pawn operations. Comprehensive income decreased 49% to a loss of $15,413 during the third quarter of 2016 compared to a loss of $10,363 during the third quarter of 2015, due to the translation of the Company’s net assets denominated in local foreign currencies into U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2016 and unrealized losses related to the change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in common stock of Enova International, Inc. acquired as a result of the Merger.

~~Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015~~

The following table details the components of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Constant currency results are non-GAAP measures which exclude the effects of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current year results at the prior year average exchange rate. The average value of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar decreased 18% from 15.5 to 1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 18.3 to 1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The end-of-period value of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar decreased 15% from 17.0 to 1 at September 30, 2015 to 19.5 to 1 at September 30, 2016. As a result of these currency exchange movements, revenue from Mexican operations translated into fewer U.S. dollars relative to the prior-year period, and net assets of Mexican operations as of September 30, 2016 translated into fewer U.S. dollars relative to the prior period end. While the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Mexican peso decreased the translated dollar-value of revenue generated in Mexico, the cost of sales and operating expenses decreased as well. The scrap jewelry generated in Mexico is exported and sold in U.S. dollars, which does not contribute to the Company’s peso-denominated revenue stream. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s Latin American revenues would have been approximately $48,224 higher had foreign currency exchange rates remained consistent with those for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Information—Constant Currency Results” below. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates is described further in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K.

~~Retail Merchandise Sales Operations~~

Total retail merchandise sales increased 20% (31% on a constant currency basis) to $386,534 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $321,016 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in retail merchandise sales was primarily due to the inclusion of the Cash America Results following the Merger, which accounted for 55% of the increase in retail merchandise sales (37% of the constant currency increase). Additionally, the retail revenue contribution from the 211 Latin America stores acquired in late 2015 and early 2016 accounted for 40% of the increase in retail merchandise sales (30% of the constant currency increase). The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in same-store retail sales and other store additions in Mexico. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales was 38%, which equaled the comparable prior-year period.

~~Consumer Lending Operations~~

Service fees from consumer loans and credit services transactions (collectively also known as payday loans) decreased 1% (0% on constant currency basis) to $21,079 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $21,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The slight decrease in consumer loan and credit services fees was due to the inclusion of the Cash America Results following the Merger. Excluding the Cash America Results, consumer loan and credit services fees decreased 27% (26% on a constant currency basis). Consumer/payday loan-related products comprised 3% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

~~Wholesale Scrap Jewelry Operations~~

Wholesale scrap jewelry revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted primarily of gold sales, which increased 45% to $35,906 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $24,743 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in wholesale scrap jewelry revenue was primarily due to the inclusion of the Cash America Results following the Merger, which accounted for 86% of the increase in wholesale scrap jewelry revenue. The scrap gross profit margin was 14% compared to the prior-period margin of 15%. Scrap jewelry profits accounted for 1% of net revenue (gross profit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 which equaled the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company’s exposure to gold price risk is described further in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K.

~~Combined Revenue Results~~

The increase in year-to-date total revenue of 22% (31% on a constant currency basis) reflected a 22% increase (32% on a constant currency basis) in core revenue from retail sales and pawn fee revenue from new and existing pawn stores. Same-store core revenue from retail sales and pawn fees in the legacy First Cash locations increased 4%, on a constant currency basis, from the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Same-store core revenue in Latin America decreased 7% on a U.S. dollar basis but increased 9% on a constant currency basis as compared to the prior-year period.

~~Store Operating Expenses~~

Store operating expenses increased by 23% (31% on a constant currency basis) to $190,563 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $155,062 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the Merger and the addition of 258 stores primarily located in Mexico since September 30, 2015, partially offset by an 18% year-over-year decline in the average value of the Mexican peso. Same-store operating expenses in the First Cash legacy stores increased 3% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior-year period.

The net store profit contribution for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $146,379, which generated a consolidated store-level operating margin of 23% compared to $121,766 and 24% in the prior-year period, respectively.

~~Administrative Expenses, Merger and Other Acquisition Expenses, Interest, Taxes and Income~~

Administrative expenses increased to $58,277 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $39,065 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of a 32% increase in the weighted-average store count resulting in additional management and supervisory compensation and other support expenses required for such growth, partially offset by an 18% decline in the average value of the Mexican peso, which reduced comparative administrative expenses in Mexico. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses increased from 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the Merger and the 211 Latin America stores acquired in late 2015 and early 2016.

Merger and other acquisition expenses increased to $33,877 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $1,175 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflecting transaction and integration costs primarily related to the Merger.

~~Interest expense increased to $13,859 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $12,482 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s effective federal income tax rates were 37.2% and 31.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to certain significant merger related expenses being non-deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2016 to be between 34% and 35%, reflecting the blended statutory federal tax rates of 35% in the U.S. and 30% in Mexico.

Net income decreased 43% to $23,435 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $41,300 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to merger and other acquisition expenses and the weaker value of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of Cash America’s results following the Merger and continued growth in core pawn operations. Comprehensive income decreased 219% to a loss of $7,269 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to income of $6,108 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to the translation of the Company’s net assets denominated in local foreign currencies into U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2016 and unrealized losses related to the change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in common stock of Enova International, Inc. acquired as a result of the Merger.

While as-reported GAAP net income and earnings per share for the quarter declined 43% and 47%, respectively, compared to the prior year primarily due to merger and other acquisition expenses, adjusted net income was flat compared to the prior year and adjusted earnings per share decreased 6% over the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to expected short-term earnings dilution from the Merger and in part to a decline in the average value of the Mexican peso.

Adjusted net income removes certain items from GAAP net income that the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance, such as merger and other acquisition expenses, but does not adjust for the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Information—Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share” below.

Credit Facility. Also in connection with the Merger, all of the outstanding 5.75% senior notes due 2018 (the “Cash America Notes”) were redeemed and Cash America’s credit agreement and related credit facilities were terminated.

2021. At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company had ~~$360,000~~$137,000 in outstanding borrowings ~~which were primarily used to fund the redemption of the Cash America Notes and to refinance all amounts outstanding under Cash America’s credit facilities and the 2015 Credit Facility,~~ and $5,956 in outstanding letters of credit under the 2016 Credit Facility, leaving ~~$34,044~~$257,044 available for future borrowings. The 2016 Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (with interest periods of 1 week or 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (ii) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%. The agreement has a LIBOR floor of 0%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50% on the average daily unused portion of the 2016 Credit Facility commitment. The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the ~~2015~~2016 Credit Facility at ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 was ~~3.06%~~3.50% based on ~~30-day~~1 week LIBOR. Under the terms of the 2016 Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants and ~~allows~~ the Company is allowed to make certain restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock, within certain parameters provided the Company maintains compliance with those financial ratios and covenants after giving effect to such restricted payments. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains customary restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, make investments, consummate acquisitions and similar negative covenants with customary carve-outs and baskets. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the 2016 Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, and believes it has the capacity to borrow a substantial portion of the amount available under the 2016 Credit Facility under the most restrictive covenant. ~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received net proceeds of $302,000 from borrowings pursuant to the 2015 Credit Facility and 2016 Credit Facility.~~

At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company maintained a U.S. dollar denominated line of credit with a bank in Mexico (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 2.0% and matures in December 2017. Under the terms of the Mexico Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the Mexico Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, and believes it has the capacity to borrow the full amount available under the Mexico Credit Facility under the most restrictive covenant. The Company is required to pay a one-time commitment fee of $25 due when the first amount is drawn/borrowed. At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $10,000 was available for borrowings.

In general, revenue growth is dependent upon the Company’s ability to fund the addition of store locations (both de novo openings and acquisitions) and growth in customer loan balances and inventories. In addition to these factors, changes in loan balances, collection of pawn fees, merchandise sales, inventory levels, operating expenses, administrative expenses, tax rates, gold prices, foreign currency exchange rates and the pace of new store expansions and acquisitions, including expenses related to the Merger, affect the Company’s liquidity. Management believes cash on hand, the borrowings available under its credit facilities, anticipated cash generated from operations (including the normal seasonal increases in operating cash flows occurring in the first and fourth quarters) and other current working capital will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital requirements for its business for at least the next twelve months. Where appropriate or desirable, in connection with the Company’s efficient management of its liquidity position, the Company could seek to raise additional funds from a variety of sources, including the sale of assets, reductions in capital spending, the issuance of debt or equity securities 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 and adjust outflows of cash in its lending practices, gives the Company flexibility to quickly modify its business strategy to increase cash

flow from its business, if necessary. Regulatory developments affecting the Company’s operations may also impact profitability and liquidity. See “—Regulatory Developments.”

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 fund ongoing cash needs such as general corporate purposes, growth initiatives and its stock repurchase program.

Table of Contents

The Company intends to continue expansion primarily through acquisitions and new store openings. ~~Excluding the impact of the Merger or unanticipated acquisitions that may occur during the remainder of 2016,~~For 2017, the Company expects to add approximately ~~220~~85 stores, primarily in Latin America, including plans for additional stores in Mexico, Guatemala and potentially its first stores in Colombia later in the year. The Company expects that total capital expenditures for the remainder of 2017, including expenditures for new and remodeled stores and other corporate assets, will total approximately $32,000 to ~~225 stores during fiscal 2016, of which 217 have already occurred during the first nine months of 2016.~~$37,000. Management believes that cash on hand, the amounts available to be drawn under the credit facilities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to accommodate the Company’s current operations and store expansion plans for the remainder of ~~2016.~~2017.

The Company continually looks for, and is presented with, potential acquisition opportunities. The Company currently has no other contractual commitments for materially significant future acquisitions, business combinations or capital commitments. The Company will evaluate potential acquisitions based upon growth potential, purchase price, available liquidity, debt covenant restrictions, strategic fit and

quality of management personnel, among other factors. If the Company encounters an attractive opportunity to acquire new stores in the near future, the Company may seek additional financing, the terms of which will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

In connection with the Merger, the Company has incurred, and expects to incur additional costs, expenses and fees for severance and retention costs and certain litigation and settlement costs in connection with the Merger. The substantial majority of these costs will be expenses relating to the Merger, including costs relating to integration and restructuring activities. These costs could have a material impact on the financial condition and results of operation of the Company. The Company plans to fund such costs with available cash on hand and funds from the 2016 Credit Facility and believes it has adequate capacity to borrow the necessary funds under the most restrictive covenant.

~~In connection with the Merger, the Company~~ assumed forward gold sales contracts entered into by Cash America. As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company has gold commitments of ~~53,000~~19,900 gold ounces deliverable through December 31, 2017. The ounces required to be delivered are well within historical scrap gold volumes and the Company expects to have the required gold ounces to meet the commitments as they come due.

In January 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the Company ~~did not repurchase any~~repurchased 228,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $10,005 and ~~1,148,000~~an average cost per share of $43.94 and 920,000 shares remain available for repurchase under the repurchase program. ~~In April 2016, the~~The Company ~~suspended~~intends to continue repurchases under its repurchase program ~~pending the completion of the Merger. In connection with the completion of the Merger, share repurchases are no longer suspended but are~~in 2017 through open market transactions under a 10b-5 plan subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, credit availability, debt covenant restrictions, general business conditions, regulatory requirements, the market price of the Company’s stock, dividend policy and the availability of alternative investment opportunities.

In July 2016 and in connection with the Merger, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to increase the annual dividend to $0.76 per share, or $0.19 per share quarterly, beginning in the fourth ~~quarter.~~quarter of 2016. In ~~October 2016,~~April 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.19 per share ~~fourth~~second quarter cash dividend, or ~~$9,216~~an aggregate of $9,177 based on current share counts, on common shares outstanding, which will be paid on ~~November 28, 2016~~May 31, 2017 to stockholders of record as of ~~November 14, 2016.~~May 15, 2017. The 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 and debt covenant restrictions.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses certain financial calculations such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and constant currency results (as defined or explained below) 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items ~~that~~ the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 operating performance and because management believes they 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 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and constant currency results 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, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and constant currency results as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.



Table of Contents

The Company expects to incur ~~significant~~additional expenses over the next two years in connection with its ~~merger~~Merger and integration with Cash America. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these items because it generally would not incur such costs and expenses as part of its continuing operations. The ~~merger~~Merger related expenses are predominantly incremental costs directly associated with the ~~merger~~Merger and integration of Cash America, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance and retention payments, accelerated vesting of certain equity compensation awards, contract breakage costs and costs related to consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share (“Adjusted Income Measures”) provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance and prospects for the future. 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 tables provide a reconciliation between the net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Income Measures, which are shown net of tax (unaudited):

Free Cash Flow

For purposes of its internal liquidity assessments, the Company considers free cash flow, which ~~is defined~~the Company defines as cash flow from operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and net cash outflow from loan receivables. Free cash flow is commonly used by investors as aan additional measure of cash generated by business operations that ~~will~~may be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and ~~can~~debt service or, following payment of such debt obligations and other non-discretionary items, may be ~~used~~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 has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities ~~including discontinued operations,~~ or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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 ~~may be~~is considered a non-GAAP measurement of financial performance. The Company’s management uses constant currency results to evaluate operating results of business operations in Latin America, which are primarily transacted in local currencies.

The Company believes constant currency results provide investors with 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. Business operations in Mexico and Guatemala are transacted in Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzales, respectively. As the Company acquired the Guatemalan stores on December 31, 2015, there are no prior year comparisons and current year results were translated at an average exchange rate of 7.6 Guatemalan quetzales / U.S. dollar. The Company also has operations in El Salvador where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. ~~In addition, see~~See the Latin America operations segment tables ~~detailing the components of revenue~~ in “—Results of Continuing Operations” above for additional reconciliation of ~~revenues to~~certain constant currency ~~revenues.~~amounts to as reported GAAP amounts.

Regulatory Developments

The Company is subject to significant regulation of its pawn, consumer loan and general business operations in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations are implemented through various laws, ordinances and regulatory pronouncements from federal, state and municipal governmental entities in the ~~United States~~U.S. and Latin America. These regulatory bodies often have broad discretionary authority in the establishment, interpretation and enforcement of such regulations. These regulations are ~~often~~ subject to change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political, economic or social trends, events and media perceptions.

The Company is subject to specific laws, ordinances and regulations primarily concerning its pawn and consumer lending operations. Many statutes and regulations prescribe, among other things, the general terms of the Company’s pawn and consumer loan agreements, including maximum service fees and/or interest rates that may be charged and ~~collected.~~collected and mandatory consumer disclosures. In many municipal, state and federal jurisdictions, in both the ~~United States~~U.S. and countries in Latin America, the Company must obtain and maintain regulatory operating licenses and comply with regular or frequent regulatory reporting and registration requirements, including reporting and recording of pawn loans, pawned collateral, used merchandise purchased from the general

public, retail sales activities, firearm transactions, export, import and transfer of merchandise, and currency transactions, among other things. Existing regulations and regulatory developments are further and more completely described under “Governmental Regulation” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on ~~February 17, 2016. Other than as described below, there~~March 1, 2017. There have been no material changes to the Company’s regulatory developments since December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

In July 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense published a finalized set of new rules under the Military Lending Act (“MLA”). The MLA (and rules previously adopted thereunder) have previously prevented the Company from offering its short-term unsecured credit products to members of the military or their dependents because none of the Company’s short-term unsecured credit products carry a military annual percentage rate of 36% or less. The new rules, which went into effect October 3, 2016, expands the scope of the credit products covered by the MLA to include certain non-purchase money loans secured by personal property, such as pawn loans, or vehicles and certain unsecured installment loan products to the extent any of such products have a military annual percentage rate greater than 36%. Under the new rules, the Company is unable to offer any of its current credit products, including pawn loans, to members of the U.S. military or their dependents. While the Company does not believe that active members of the U.S. military or their dependents comprise a significant percentage of the historical customer base in most locations, compliance with the MLA, and the new rules in particular, could be complex and increase compliance risks and related costs. The Company will continue to assess the impact of these new rules on its lending operations and compliance programs.

On June 1, 2016, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued its notice of proposed rulemaking related to short-term consumer loans. The proposed rules remained open for comment until October 7, 2016 and are expected to become effective 15 months after the rules are finalized. The proposed rules seek to establish an ability to repay assessment on all covered loans, verification by the consumer of certain debts and verification through outside sources by lenders of certain debts, mandatory cooling off periods, alternative loan offerings that would allow lenders to forego the proposed requirement to conduct an ability to repay assessment, and restrictions on collection practices. As written, the proposed rules define the Company’s consumer loan products, both short-term loans and installment loans, as loans covered under the rules, but excludes pawn loans. The Company continues to review the proposed rules to determine the potential impact on its consumer loan portfolio if the proposed rules become final in their current form. On a consolidated basis, including the effects of the Merger, the Company expects consumer loan revenue for the year ending December 31, 2017 to account for approximately 5% of the Company’s consolidated total revenue.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in interest rates, gold prices and foreign currency exchange rates, and are described in detail in the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K. The impact of current-year fluctuations in gold prices and foreign currency exchange rates, in particular, are further discussed in Part I, Item 2 herein. ~~Other than as described below, there~~The Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposure to market risks since December 31, ~~2015 (dollars in thousands).~~2016.

~~Investment in Common Stock of Enova International, Inc.~~

Equity risk is the risk that the Company may incur a reduction in future earnings, cash flows or fair value of assets due to adverse changes in the market price of equity securities held by the Company. The Company is exposed to equity risk through its investment in Enova common stock, which is classified as an available-for-sale security.

As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of Enova common stock held by the Company was $54,786 and represents approximately 2.4% of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s basis in its investment in Enova common stock was $57,570, and an unrealized loss of $1,753, net of tax, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. A future increase or decrease in the quoted market price of Enova common stock would increase or decrease the pre-tax proceeds received and the resulting pre-tax gain/loss recognized upon the sale of the Company’s Enova common stock. As of September 30, 2016, the impact of a 10% increase or decrease in the price of Enova common stock would result in a $5,479 change to the fair value of the Enova common stock held by the Company. See Note 5 of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information on the Company’s investment in Enova.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (the “Exchange Act”) as of ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

~~Except for the Merger, there have~~There has been no ~~changes~~change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 that ~~have~~has materially affected, or ~~are~~is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the Merger during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s management is in the process of documenting and testing Cash America’s internal control over financial reporting, and expects to incorporate Cash America into its annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2016.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent all possible error and fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The description of the Senior Notes Lawsuit contained in Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report is incorporated to this Part II, Item 1 by reference.

~~On July 6, 2016, Andrew Samtoy, a purported shareholder of Cash America, filed a Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Petition~~There have been no material changes in the ~~District Court~~status of ~~Dallas County of the State of Texas, styled~~ ~~Samtoy et al. v. Stuart et al., DC-16-08063 (the “Samtoy Action”), against Cash America’s board of directors, the Company, Merger Sub, and Cash America. The petition~~legal proceedings previously reported in the Samtoy Action asserted direct and derivative claims against Cash America’s board of directors for breach of fiduciary duty in connection with their approval of the proposed Merger including direct and derivative claims against the Company and Merger Sub for allegedly aiding and abetting Cash America’s board of directors’ breach of fiduciary duties. Plaintiff, however, in SeptemberCompany’s 2016 ~~non-suited and withdrew the petition, and the judge signed the order of non-suit~~annual report on ~~September 19, 2016, concluding the Samtoy Action.~~

Furthermore, the Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters are covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Important risk factors ~~that could affect the Company’s operations and financial performance, or~~ that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K. These factors are supplemented by those discussed under “Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations” and “Regulatory Developments” in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report and in “Governmental Regulation” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s ~~2015~~2016 annual report on Form 10-K.

Furthermore, as a result of the Merger with Cash America and recent regulatory developments, the risk factors discussed below have been identified as additional risk factors to those previously reported in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K (dollars in thousands).

The Company may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. The Company may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the two businesses.

The ability of the Company to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger will depend, to a large extent, on the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the two businesses. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, the Company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of First Cash and Cash America. The integration process may disrupt the business of the Company and, if implemented ineffectively, would restrict the full realization of the anticipated benefits of the Merger. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the two businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the Company and could adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, loss of customers and diversion of the attention of the Company’s management and employees. The challenges of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

~~difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the Merger;~~

~~difficulties in the integration of operations and systems, including information technology systems;~~

difficulties in establishing effective uniform controls, standards, systems, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures, regulatory and compliance programs and compensation structures between the two companies;

~~difficulties in the acculturation of employees;~~

~~difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a larger and more complex company with both a domestic and foreign business presence;~~

~~challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers;~~

~~challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel, including personnel that are considered key to the future success of the combined company; and~~

~~challenges in keeping key business relationships in place.~~



~~Table of Contents~~

Many of these factors will be outside of the control of the Company, and any one of them could result in increased costs and liabilities, decreases in the amount of expected revenue and earnings and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. In addition, even if the operations of the businesses of First Cash and Cash America are integrated successfully, the full benefits of the Merger may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings, growth opportunities or cash flows that are expected, and the Company will also be subject to additional risks that could impact future earnings. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses of First Cash and Cash America. All of these factors could cause dilution of the earnings per share of the Company, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Merger, negatively impact the price of the Company’s stock, impair the ability of the Company to return capital to its stockholders or have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

~~The Merger may not be accretive and may cause dilution of the combined company’s adjusted earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of the combined company’s common stock.~~

The Company’s management currently anticipates that the Merger will be accretive to stockholders on an adjusted earnings per share basis in 2017. This expectation is based on currently available net revenue and operating expense estimates, which may materially change. The Company could also encounter additional transaction and integration-related costs or other factors such as the failure to realize all of the benefits anticipated in the Merger. All of these factors could cause dilution of the Company’s adjusted earnings per share or decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Merger and cause a decrease in the market value of the Company’s common stock.

~~The Company’s future results will suffer if it does not effectively manage its expanded operations resulting from the Merger.~~

As a result of the Merger, the size of the business of the Company has increased significantly. The Company’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that the Merger will be successful or that the Company will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements and other benefits anticipated from the Merger.

~~The Company is expected to incur substantial future expenses related to the Merger and the integration of First Cash’s and Cash America’s businesses.~~

The Company has incurred substantial expenses in connection with the Merger and the integration of First Cash and Cash America and will incur additional significant expenses in connection therewith in future periods. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated, including store point of sale and pawn transaction management systems, accounting and finance, payroll and incentive compensation, pawn collateral valuation and pricing, legal and regulatory compliance and employee benefits. While the integration of such items have begun, a significant amount of integration work remains and is expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2017. The Company has assumed that a certain level of expenses will be incurred in connection with the integration, however, there are many factors beyond the Company’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that the Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings. These integration expenses will result in the Company taking meaningful charges against earnings in the period following the completion of the Merger, and the amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.

If the Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the former Cash America shareholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

Although the Company intends that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may assert that the Merger fails to qualify as such. If the IRS were to be successful in any such contention or if for any other reason the Merger were to fail to qualify as a “reorganization,” each former Cash America shareholder would recognize a gain or loss with respect to all such shareholder’s shares of Cash America’s common stock based on the difference between (i) the former Cash America shareholders’ tax basis in such shares and (ii) the aggregate cash and the fair market value of the Company common stock received.

The adoption of new laws or regulations or adverse changes in, or the interpretation or enforcement of, existing laws or regulations affecting the Company’s products and services could adversely affect its financial condition and operating results.

Governments at the national, state and local levels, may seek to impose new laws, regulatory restrictions or licensing requirements that affect the Company’s products or services it offers, the terms on which it may offer them, and the disclosure, compliance and reporting obligations it must fulfill in connection with its business. They may also interpret or enforce existing requirements in new ways that could restrict the Company’s ability to continue its current methods of operation or to expand operations, impose significant additional compliance costs, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In some cases these measures could even directly prohibit some or all of the Company’s current business activities in certain jurisdictions, or render them unprofitable and/or impractical to continue.

In July 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense published a finalized set of new rules under the Military Lending Act (“MLA”). The MLA (and rules previously adopted thereunder) have previously prevented the Company from offering its short-term unsecured credit products to members of the military or their dependents because none of the Company’s short-term unsecured credit products carry a military annual percentage rate of 36% or less. The new rules, which went into effect October 3, 2016, expand the scope of the credit products covered by the MLA to include certain non-purchase money loans secured by personal property, such as pawn loans, or vehicles and certain unsecured installment loan products to the extent any of such products have a military annual percentage rate greater than 36%. Under the new rules, the Company is unable to offer any of its current credit products, including pawn loans, to members of the U.S. military or their dependents. While the Company does not believe that active members of the U.S. military or their dependents comprise a significant percentage of the historical customer base in most locations, compliance with the MLA, and the new rules in particular, could be complex and increase compliance risks and related costs. The Company will continue to assess the impact of these new rules on its lending operations and compliance programs.

On June 1, 2016, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued its notice of proposed rulemaking related to short-term consumer loans. The proposed rules remained open for comment until October 7, 2016 and are expected to become effective 15 months after the rules are finalized. The proposed rules seek to establish an ability to repay assessment on all covered loans, verification by the consumer of certain debts and verification through outside sources by lenders of certain debts, mandatory cooling off periods, alternative loan offerings that would allow lenders to forego the proposed requirement to conduct an ability to repay assessment, and restrictions on collection practices. As written, the proposed rules define the Company’s consumer loan products, both short-term loans and installment loans, as loans covered under the rules, but excludes pawn loans. The Company continues to review the proposed rules to determine the potential impact on its consumer loan portfolio if the proposed rules become final in their current form. On a consolidated basis including the effects of the Merger, the Company expects consumer loan revenue for the year ending December 31, 2017 to account for approximately 5% of the Company’s consolidated total revenue.

~~The CFPB issued a Consent Order with respect to Cash America, and any noncompliance could have a Material Adverse Effect.~~

On November 20, 2013, Cash America consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which it agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions made by the CFPB from its 2012 review of Cash America’s consumer loan business, to pay a civil money penalty of $5,000. Cash America also agreed to set aside $8,000 for a period of 180 days to fund any further payments to eligible Ohio customers in connection with Cash America’s voluntary program to reimburse Ohio customers that was initiated by Cash America in 2012 in connection with legal collections proceedings initiated by Cash America in Ohio from January 1, 2008 through December 4, 2012 (the “Ohio Reimbursement Program”). The Consent Order also relates to issues self-disclosed to the CFPB during its 2012 examination of Cash America, including the making of a limited number of loans to consumers who may have been active duty members of the military at the time of the loan at rates in excess of the interest rate permitted by the MLA; for certain failures to timely provide and preserve records and information in connection with the CFPB’s examination of Cash America; for certain conduct in the examination process; and certain conduct giving rise to the Ohio Reimbursement Program. Cash America remains subject to the obligations of the Consent Order, including the CFPB’s order that Cash America ensure compliance with federal consumer financial laws and develop more robust compliance policies and procedures; however, certain restrictions expire on November 20, 2016. The compliance plan mandated by the Consent Order requires Cash America to perform ongoing consumer protection compliance risk reviews before introducing or implementing new or changed products or services. This requirement could result in additional delay or cost when introducing, integrating or implementing new or changed products or services, or a decision not to proceed with such initiatives. In addition, Cash America’s former subsidiary, Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), also remains subject to the Consent Order because it was part of Cash America when the Consent Order was issued. Cash America cannot assure that Enova will continue to comply with the Consent Order now that it is a separate publicly traded company. If Enova does not comply with the consent order, Cash America could be held liable for Enova’s noncompliance. Any noncompliance with the Consent Order, continuing obligations or similar orders or agreements from other regulators could lead to further regulatory penalties and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.



~~Table of Contents~~

~~The Company could be responsible for U.S. federal and state income tax liabilities that relate to the spin-off by Cash America of Enova, in November 2014 (the “Enova Spin-off”).~~

The Enova Spin-off was conditioned on the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel that the Enova Spin-off will be treated as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. An opinion of tax counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Accordingly, the Internal Revenue Service may reach conclusions with respect to the Enova Spin-off that are different from the conclusions reached in the opinion. The opinion was based on certain factual statements and representations made by Cash America, which, if incomplete or untrue in any material respect, could alter tax counsel’s conclusions. In addition, Cash America received a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that the retention by Cash America of up to 20% of Enova’s stock will not be in pursuant to a plan having as one of its principal purposes the avoidance of U.S. federal income tax within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(D)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code. The private letter ruling does not address any other tax issues related to the Enova Spin-off. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling, the IRS could determine on audit that the retention of the Enova stock was in pursuant to a plan having as one of its principal purposes the avoidance of U.S. federal income tax if it determines that any of the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings that Cash America or Enova have made or provided to the IRS are not correct. If the retention is in pursuant to a plan having as one of its principal purposes the avoidance of U.S. federal income tax, then the distribution could ultimately be determined to be taxable, and the Company would recognize a gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of shares of Enova’s common stock distributed to Cash America’s shareholders on the distribution date over Cash America’s tax basis in such shares of Enova’s common stock. In addition, Cash America agreed to certain actions in connection with the private letter ruling, such as disposing of the Enova common stock by September 15, 2017, and if the Company does not or is unable to follow-through with such actions, the tax-free status of the Enova Spin-off could be jeopardized. Furthermore, in order to comply with its obligation to dispose of its Enova common stock by September 15, 2017, the Company may be required to sell its shares of Enova common stock on unfavorable terms and such sales may further depress the market price of Enova’s common stock.

While the Company believes that the Merger did not and will not adversely impact the tax-free status of the Enova Spin-off, it is possible that the IRS could assert that the Merger should result in the Enova Spin-off being treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were to be successful in any contention that the Enova Spin-Off should be treated as a taxable transaction or if for any other reason the Company were to take actions that would cause the Enova Spin-Off to be treated as a taxable transaction, the Company could be subject to significant tax liabilities. In addition, in accordance with a tax matters agreement entered into between Cash America and Enova in connection with the Enova Spin-Off, the Company could be subject to liability for any tax liabilities incurred by Enova or Enova’s shareholders if the Merger were to cause the Enova Spin-Off to be deemed taxable.

In connection with the Enova Spin-off, Enova and Cash America agreed to indemnify each other for certain liabilities; if the Company is required to act on these indemnities to Enova, it may need to divert cash to meet those obligations, and Enova’s indemnity could be insufficient or Enova could be unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations.

Pursuant to a separation and distribution agreement and certain other agreements that Cash America entered into with Enova at the time of the Enova Spin-off, including a tax matters agreement, Enova agreed to indemnify Cash America for certain liabilities that could be related to tax, regulatory, litigation or other liabilities, and Cash America agreed to indemnify Enova for certain similar liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. In addition, the tax matters agreement prohibits Enova from taking any action or failing to take any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the Enova Spin-off to be taxable or to jeopardize the conclusions of the private letter ruling obtained in connection with the Enova Spin-off or opinions of counsel received by Cash America or Enova. Indemnities that Cash America may be required to provide Enova are not subject to any cap, may be significant and could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, particularly indemnities relating to actions that could impact the tax-free nature of the distribution. Third parties could also seek to hold the Company responsible for any of the liabilities that Enova has agreed to assume. Further, the indemnity from Enova could be insufficient to protect the Company against the full amount of such liabilities, or Enova may be unable to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if the Company ultimately succeeds in recovering from Enova any amounts for which it is held liable, the Company may be temporarily required to bear these losses and could suffer reputational risks if the losses are related to regulatory, litigation or other matters.
