AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW), a leading provider of pawn loans in the United States and Mexico, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Stuart Grimshaw, EZCORP’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Fiscal 2016 was an important year for our company. Our intense focus on market leadership in meeting our customers’ desire for cash whenever they want it, combined with consistent execution, delivered strong operating results for our pawn businesses in the U.S. and Mexico. We achieved market leading growth in same store pawn loans outstanding (PLO), the most influential driver of revenue and profitability, and continued to improve our customer experience metrics.
“In September, we completed the divestiture of Grupo Finmart, which frees up capital, management attention and other resources that we can now deploy to grow our pawn businesses. We exit the year in a strong liquidity position, including $66 million of cash, $50 million available on our credit facility and $89.8 million in notes receivable from the Grupo Finmart sale, over half of which we expect to receive in fiscal 2017.
“From a financial standpoint, the positive pawn operating results were offset by $16.8 million of non-cash charges associated with our minority equity investment in Cash Converters International Limited recorded in the fourth quarter.
“Our intense focus on customer leadership and delivering an outstanding customer experience will continue with investments in process improvements, product and customer data analytics and feedback, technology, targeted incentives, and coaching and mentoring for our field team. We are confident these initiatives will continue to improve our core pawn operating performance, which will provide our platform for profitable growth.”
All amounts in this release are from EZCORP continuing operations and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) unless otherwise noted. Comparisons shown in this release are to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

- Merchandise sales gross margin up 200bps to 35% in the quarter and up 400bps to 37% for the year.

- Net revenue up $7.3 million (7%) in the fourth quarter and $25.2 million (6%) for the year.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Three-Months Ended September 30, 2016
- Net loss from continuing operations attributable to EZCORP was $16.9 million ($(0.31) per share), compared to a net loss of $57.1 million ($(1.04) per share) in the prior year quarter. This improvement was driven by revenue growth and continued focus on expense management. The fourth quarter results included a $16.8 million non-cash impairment and equity loss on our investment in Cash Converters International Limited.
- Total revenue was $184.6 million, up 8%, and net revenue was $106.9 million, up 7%. On a constant currency basis1, total revenue was $188.2 million, up 11%, with net revenue of $108.8 million, up 9%. Higher PLO balances drove increased PSC, and improved inventory management drove increased merchandise margins.
- Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter decreased 24% (23% decrease a constant currency basis) as we continue to implement operational efficiencies. Corporate administrative expense decreased $10.8 million to $18.0 million, down 37%.
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016
- Net loss from continuing operations attributable to EZCORP was $8.0 million ($(0.15) per share), compared to a net loss of $51.3 million ($(0.94) per share). This increase reflects continued improvement in our U.S. and Mexico pawn businesses (as discussed below). Fiscal year 2016 results included $11.0 million non-cash impairment on our investment in Cash Converters International Limited, $4.2 million in restatement related expenses and $1.9 million in restructuring costs.
- Total revenue was $730.5 million, 1% higher, with net revenue of $428.2 million, a 6% increase. On a constant currency basis, total revenue was $748.1 million, 4% higher, and net revenue was $437.9 million, 9% higher. The net revenue increases were driven by growth in PSC as a result of higher PLO balances, as well as improved merchandise sales margins.
- Total operating expenses decreased 5% (3% on a constant currency basis), with store operating expenses up due to the addition of new stores during the year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
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 and ongoing segment contribution results to evaluate results of our Mexico Pawn operations, which are denominated in Mexican pesos and believe that presentation of constant currency results are meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our Mexico Pawn operations and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period exchange rate as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 was 19.4 to 1 and 17.1 to 1, respectively. The average exchange rate for the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was 17.9 to 1, 15.1 to 1, and 13.1 to 1, respectively. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the 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.
