Reviewing strategic options for Grupo Finmart, to be completed by end of Q3FY16
Austin, Texas (February 8, 2016) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW), a leading provider of pawn loans in the United States and Mexico and consumer loans in Mexico, today announced results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2015.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Stuart Grimshaw, EZCORP’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “In July 2015, we announced significant strategic changes in our company’s direction which included a refocus on our pawn operations in both the United States and Mexico. With the goal of increasing both our market share and efficiency, our stated path to making that a reality was to serve and satisfy our customers beyond their expectations. This quarter’s results reflect encouraging progress in meeting those expectations with growth in our customer transactions as well as the expansion in our portfolio of pawn loans, while improving the return on investment on our earning assets.”
Mr. Grimshaw continued, “Today, we also announced that we are undertaking a strategic review of Grupo Finmart. Clearly we are disappointed in the financial performance, which is affected by changes in the industry dynamics as well as the business environment over the past several quarters. With a view to maximizing our long term shareholder value, initiatives are underway for the short term while the longer term strategic options are being evaluated.”
1Note: In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information such as constant currency results ("constant currency") where indicated. The average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate as of December 31, 2015 was 17.3 to 1, compared to 14.7 to 1 in the prior year. The average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the current three-month period ended December 31, 2015 was 16.8 to 1, compared to 13.9 to 1 in the comparable prior-year period. See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
| |
• | For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, net loss from continuing operations attributable to EZCORP was $7.2 million (-$0.13 per share), compared to net income of $4.7 million ($0.09 per share) in the prior-year quarter. This year-over-year difference reflects continued improvement in our U.S. and Mexico pawn businesses (as discussed below) that was more than offset by continued challenges in Grupo Finmart. |
| |
• | Total revenues for the quarter were $198.5 million, 7% lower than the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower scrapping revenues and lower consumer loan fees and interest income in Grupo Finmart. On a constant currency basis, total revenues were 3% lower year-over-year. |
| |
• | Net revenues for the quarter were $111.5 million, a 5% decrease from the prior-year quarter, reflecting an increase in bad debt reserves discussed below. On a constant currency basis, net revenues decreased 2%. |
| |
• | Operating expenses increased 19% on a constant currency basis (14% on a GAAP basis) reflecting costs associated with the prior-period restatements, restructuring, reversal of stock compensation costs in the prior-year quarter as a result of forfeitures, and store-level bonus programs during fiscal 2016 to better incentivize performance. |
| |
• | Annualized return on pawn earning assets (defined as average annual merchandise and scrap sales gross profit and pawn service charges ("PSC") yield on pawn loans and inventory balances outstanding) increased to 151% in the current quarter versus 142% in the prior-year quarter. |
OPERATING METRICS
U.S. Pawn
| |
• | Core pawn revenue increased 3% YOY driven by growth in PSC and merchandise sales. |
| |
• | We posted our first same store PLO growth since Q4FY14: up 0.5% YOY in the December 2015 quarter, an improvement from -6% YOY in the September 2015 quarter, and -11% YOY in the June 2015 quarter. |
| |
• | Quality loan growth continued with PLO increasing 4%. |
| |
• | Strong merchandise gross margin expansion to 40% from 34%. |
| |
• | Aged inventory reduction to 11% of total inventory from 16%. |
Mexico Pawn
| |
• | Core pawn revenue increased 8% YOY on a constant currency basis (11% decrease on a GAAP basis), primarily driven by 22% growth in PSC revenue on a constant currency basis (1% increase on a GAAP basis). |
| |
• | Same store PLO increased 34% on a constant currency basis (14% increase on a GAAP basis), the sixth consecutive quarter with double-digit same store loan growth on a constant currency basis (same store YOY loan growth has both increased and decreased on a GAAP basis over the same periods). |
| |
• | Strong merchandise margin expansion to 35% from 31%. |
| |
• | Aged inventory reduction to 3% of total inventory from 16%. |
Grupo Finmart
| |
• | Segment loss of $19.5 million on a constant currency basis ($16.9 million on a GAAP basis) compared to a segment loss of $8.2 million on a GAAP basis in the prior-year quarter. The increase in the segment loss was primarily attributable to an 87% increase on a constant currency basis (55% increase on a GAAP basis) in bad debt expense, driven predominately by industry-wide delays in payment timing. |
| |
• | We reserve for a loan at 100% of principal and accrued interest if no payment is received within a consecutive 180-day period. The bad debt expense included $2.1 million received in collections in the current quarter on loans that were fully reserved. |
| |
• | In response to the payment and collections challenges, we are refocusing our operations on higher quality, shorter term loans with the lowest risk convenios. |
| |
• | Operations expense increased 40% YOY on a constant currency basis (16% on a GAAP basis), driven by an increase in commissions and investments in the senior management team. We have initiated a cost reduction program to better align the expense structure with the revenue performance. |
| |
• | In light of the changing industry dynamics and business environment, we have initiated a review of all strategic options for Grupo Finmart, to be completed by the end of Q3FY16, with a view toward maximizing long-term shareholder value. |

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency basis ("constant currency"). We use constant currency results to evaluate results of the Mexico Pawn and Grupo Finmart segment operations, which are denominated in Mexican pesos and believe that presentation of constant currency results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our Mexico Pawn and Grupo Finmart operations and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet items, the average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate as of December 31, 2015 of 17.3 to 1 was used, compared to the end of period rate as of December 31, 2014 of 14.7 to 1. For condensed consolidated statement of operations items, the average closing daily exchange rate for the appropriate period was used. The average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the current three-month period ended December 31, 2015 was 16.8 to 1 as compared to the prior year three-month period ended December 31, 2014 rate of 13.9 to 1. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude foreign currency gain or loss and the related foreign currency derivative gain or loss impact.
The following information provides reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
