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

While the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report. Such factors may include, without limitation, risks related to the American First Finance (“AFF”) transaction, including the failure of the transaction to deliver the estimated value and benefits expected by the Company, the incurrence of unexpected future costs, liabilities or obligations as a result of the transaction, the effect of the transaction on the ability of the Company to retain and hire personnel and maintain relationships with retail partners, consumers and others with whom the Company and AFF do business; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate AFF’s operations; the ability of the Company to successfully implement its plans, forecasts and other expectations with respect to AFF’s business; risks associated with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) lawsuit filed against the Company, the putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company, the California private lawsuits filed against the Company in which the plaintiffs are seeking class certification, and subpoenas seeking information from the Company received from state regulators from time to time, including the incurrence of meaningful expenses, reputational damage, monetary damages and other penalties; risks related to the regulatory environment in which the Company operates; general economic risks, including the contributory effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses that have been, and may in the future be, imposed in response to the pandemic; potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for the Company’s pawn loan, retail, lease-to-own and retail finance products; labor shortages and increased labor costs; inflation; a deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States and Latin America which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending; currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso; and other risks discussed and described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, and other reports filed with the SEC. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, nor can the Company predict, in many cases, all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report speak only as of the date of this quarterly report, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1 - General

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions, and the results of operations for the acquired stores have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the “AFF Acquisition”) of AFF, which is a leading technology-driven retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions platform primarily focused on providing lease-to-own (“LTO”) products.

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021, have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect ASU 2020-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

8

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for entities. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted the CECL accounting standard. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, the Company does not expect ASU 2022-02 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statements.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

American First Finance Acquisition

On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the AFF Acquisition. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $16.9 million. The adjusted purchase price allocation is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

The following table details the preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2021, the measurement period adjustments made during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2022, subject to future measurement period adjustments (in thousands):

Note 4 - Operating Leases

Lessor

For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.

Lessee

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

Leased facilities are generally leased for a term of three to five years with one or more options to renew for an additional three to five years, typically at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, the majority of these leases can be terminated early upon an adverse change in law which negatively affects the store’s profitability. The Company regularly evaluates renewal and termination options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and excludes these options from

10

the lease term included in the recognition of the operating lease right of use asset and lease liability until such certainty exists. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.1 years for both June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The operating lease right of use asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to groups of leases with similar characteristics. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 6.0% and 6.6%, respectively.

The Company has certain operating leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The liability related to these leases is considered a monetary liability and requires remeasurement each reporting period into the functional currency (Mexican pesos) using reporting date exchange rates. The remeasurement results in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses each reporting period, which can produce a certain level of earnings volatility. The Company recognized a foreign currency gain of less than $0.1 million and a gain of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the remeasurement of these U.S. dollar denominated operating leases, which is included in loss (gain) on foreign exchange in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a foreign currency gain of $0.7 million and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively, related to these U.S. dollar denominated leases.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease expense recognized in the period such payments are incurred. The following table details the components of lease expense included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

Total operating lease expense	$	36,303	$	35,313	$	72,005	$	70,212

(1)Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance and common area or other maintenance costs paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor and can therefore vary over the lease term.

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

	Estimated Fair Value
	June 30,		Fair Value Measurements Using
	2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities:
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration (1)	$	46,560	$	—	$	—	$	46,560

(1)The contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

	Estimated Fair Value
	December 31,		Fair Value Measurements Using
	2021		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities:
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration (1)	$	109,549	$	—	$	—	$	109,549

(1)The current portion of $95.6 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the non-current portion of $14.0 million is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company revalues the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition is determined by applying a Monte Carlo simulation, which includes inputs not observable in the market, such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected financial forecast of AFF over the earn-out period, and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition.

The changes in financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 fair value measurements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2022
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration at beginning of the period	$	112,119	$	109,549
Change in fair value (1)	(65,559)		(62,989)
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration at end of the period	$	46,560	$	46,560

(1)    The Company recognized a gain of $65.6 million and $63.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition, which is included in gain on revaluation of contingent acquisition consideration in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired.

(1)Finance receivables, gross as of December 31, 2021 was $220.3 million. See Note 6.

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

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

The carrying value of the unsecured credit facilities approximates fair value as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The fair value of the unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the unsecured credit facilities have a variable interest rate based on a fixed spread over LIBOR or the Mexican Central Bank’s interbank equilibrium rate (“TIIE”) and reprice with any changes in LIBOR or TIIE. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

On August 26, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due on September 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2028 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 2.75 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.7 to 1. While the 2028 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2030

On December 13, 2021, the Company issued $550.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due on January 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2030 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 3.0 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.7 to 1. While the 2030 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provides the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1.

The Company utilized the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes to finance the cash consideration and transaction expenses for the AFF Acquisition, including the repayment, in full, of the outstanding debt under AFF’s credit facility at the closing of the AFF Acquisition, payment of fees and expenses related to the note offering and reduction of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits, arbitration proceedings and other general claims. Although no assurances can be given, in management’s opinion, any potential adverse result should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 14, 2022, plaintiff Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System filed a putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit (the “Litigation”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and certain of its current officers styled Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System v. FirstCash Holdings, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 4:22-CV-00033-P (N.D. Tex.). The complaint alleges that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements that caused losses to investors. The complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to disclose in public statements that the Company engaged in widespread and systemic violations of the Military Lending Act (the “MLA”). The Litigation does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, it seeks to recover damages on behalf of the plaintiff and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company stock during the putative class period from February 1, 2018 through November 12, 2021 at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend the Litigation vigorously. On April 4, 2022, following the appointment of a lead plaintiff, the Court entered an order setting certain case deadlines for the filing of an amended complaint and any responsive pleading thereto. On June 8, 2022, the Company and named defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which

18

remains pending. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred due to this Litigation or estimate a range of loss, if any, and accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company was named as a nominal defendant and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on July 19, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and styled Treppel Family Trust U/A 08/18/18 Lawrence A. Treppel and Geri D. Treppel for the Benefit of Geri D. Treppel and Larry A. Treppel, Derivatively on Behalf of FirstCash Holdings, Inc., v. Rick L. Wessel, et. al, Case 4:22-cv-00623-P (N.D. Tex). The complaint makes similar allegations as the Litigation and alleges a single count for breach of fiduciary duty against the named derivative defendants. The action does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs and certain equitable relief, the derivative plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company for purported financial harm and to have the court order changes in the Company’s corporate governance. The named derivative defendants and the Company dispute these allegations and intend to defend the action vigorously.

On November 12, 2021, the CFPB initiated a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against FirstCash, Inc. and Cash America West, Inc., two of the Company’s subsidiaries, alleging violations of the MLA in connection with pawn transactions. The CFPB also alleges that these same alleged violations of the MLA also constitute breaches of a 2013 CFPB consent order entered into by its predecessor company that, among other things, allegedly required the company and its successors to cease and desist from further MLA violations. The CFPB is seeking an injunction, redress for affected borrowers and a civil monetary penalty. On March 28, 2022, the CFPB filed a motion to strike certain affirmative defenses of the Company, which motion remains pending. On April 27, 2022, the Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment, which remains pending. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in the case, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of this matter or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

On November 7, 2018, plaintiffs Maria Andrade and Shaun Caulkins filed a complaint (the “Andrade Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF. In the Andrade Complaint, the plaintiffs allege that AFF partnered with California merchants to deceive California customers into taking out usurious loans made from AFF, an unlicensed lender. Based on these allegations, the plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of themselves and a class of all California residents who purchased consumer goods or services from AFF’s partner retail businesses. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, class certification, a declaration that AFF’s security agreements are void and uncollectible, restitution of all amounts collected from class members, actual damages, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiff Caulkins’ claims were dismissed in October 2020 and co-defendants were dismissed from the complaint in August 2021. The class certification motion hearing is set for August 15, 2022. At this time, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the Andrade Complaint or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

On October 20, 2021, plaintiff Larry Facio filed a complaint (the “Facio Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF. In the Facio Complaint, the plaintiff alleges that AFF partnered with California merchants to deceive California customers into taking out usurious loans made from AFF, an unlicensed lender. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, class certification, a declaration that AFF’s security agreements are subject to the California Finance Lenders Law and that no person has a right to collect or receive principal or payments, restitution for all amounts collected from class members, actual damages, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees. On May 5, 2022, the court granted AFF’s motion to compel arbitration, and the case is currently stayed, pending arbitration. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the Facio Complaint or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

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

The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

GENERAL

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

With the Company’s acquisition of AFF on December 17, 2021 (the “AFF Acquisition”), the Company is also a leading provider of technology-driven, retail POS payment solutions focused on serving credit-constrained consumers. The Company’s retail POS payment solutions business line consists solely of the operations of AFF, which focuses on LTO products and facilitating other retail financing payment options across a large network of traditional and e-commerce merchant partners in all 50 states in the U.S., the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. AFF’s retail partners provide consumer goods and services to their customers and use AFF’s LTO and retail finance solutions to facilitate payments on such transactions. As one of the largest omni-channel providers of “no credit required” payment options, AFF’s technology set provides consumers with seamless leasing and financing experiences in-store, online, in-cart and on mobile devices.

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

24

OPERATIONS AND LOCATIONS

As of June 30, 2022, the Company operated 2,834 pawn store locations comprised of 1,076 stores in 25 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, 1,669 stores in 32 states in Mexico, 60 stores in Guatemala, 15 stores in Colombia and 14 stores in El Salvador.

The following tables detail pawn store count activity:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

(1)In addition to new store openings, the Company strategically relocated two stores in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company relocated two stores in the U.S. and one store in Latin America.

(2)Store consolidations were primarily acquired locations over the past five years which have been combined with overlapping stores and for which the Company expects to maintain a significant portion of the acquired customer base in the consolidated location.

As of June 30, 2022, AFF provided LTO and retail POS solutions for consumer goods and services through a nationwide network of approximately 7,600 active retail merchant partner locations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The significant accounting policies and estimates 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited)

Continuing Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and its contributory impacts on the economy continue to impact numerous aspects of the Company’s business and the continuing long-term impact to its business remains unknown. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact the Company’s operations, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the unknown duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be impacted by variants of concern and the efficacy and adoption rate of the COVID-19 vaccines in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In addition, changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, rising inflation, increases in interest rates and the actions taken to limit the economic impact of COVID-19 have and may continue to have a material adverse impact on demand for pawn loans in future periods. Moreover, safety protocols, staffing constraints and supply chain delays continue to impact operations and traffic counts for many retailers, which include the Company’s pawn stores and many of AFF’s retail merchant partners.

Constant Currency Results

The Company’s management reviews and analyzes operating results in Latin America on a constant currency basis because the Company believes this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends. Constant currency results are non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effects of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current-year results at prior-year average exchange rates. The wholesale scrap jewelry sales in Latin America are priced and settled in U.S. dollars and are not affected by foreign currency translation, as are a small percentage of the operating and administrative expenses in Latin America, which are billed and paid in U.S. dollars. Amounts presented on a constant currency basis are denoted as such. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” for additional discussion of constant currency operating results.

Business operations in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia are transacted in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and Colombian pesos. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The following table provides exchange rates for the Mexican peso, Guatemalan quetzal and Colombian peso for the current and prior-year periods:

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

U.S. retail merchandise sales increased 13% to $195.4 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $173.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Same-store retail sales increased 10% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase in total and same-store retail sales was primarily due to increased inventory levels during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales in the U.S. was 41% in the second quarter of 2022 and 45% in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the retail merchandise margins was primarily due to lower inventory levels during the second quarter of 2021, which limited the need for normal discounting.

U.S. inventories increased 29% from $144.1 million at June 30, 2021 to $185.9 million at June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to lower-than-normal inventory balances at June 30, 2021 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inventories aged greater than one year in the U.S. were 1% at both June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Pawn Lending Operations

U.S. pawn loan receivables as of June 30, 2022 increased 33% in total and on a same-store basis compared to June 30, 2021. The increase in total and same-store pawn receivables was primarily due to the continued recovery in pawn lending demand during the second quarter of 2022 to pre-pandemic levels.

U.S. pawn loan fees increased 31% to $87.7 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $66.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. Same-store pawn fees in the second quarter of 2022 increased 29% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase in total and same-store pawn loan fees was primarily due to the continued recovery in pawn loan receivables, as described above.

Segment Expenses

U.S. operating expenses increased 8% to $101.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $93.6 million during the second quarter of 2021 while same-store operating expenses increased 6% compared with the prior-year period. The increase in total and same-store operating expenses was primarily due to inflationary increases in wages and other certain operating costs and increased store-level incentive compensation driven by increased revenues and segment profit during the second quarter of 2022.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The U.S. segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $64.0 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 21% compared to $47.1 million and 19% in the prior year, respectively. The increase in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin reflected a 17% increase in net revenue further leveraged by the 8% increase in operating expenses.

Latin America Operations Segment

Latin American results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 were not materially affected by the change in the average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate as it was materially consistent with the prior-year period. The translated value of Latin American earning assets as of June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 was impacted by a 1% unfavorable change in the end-of-period value of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar.

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

Latin America retail merchandise sales increased 11% (also 11% on a constant currency basis) to $102.9 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $92.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Same-store retail sales increased 11% (also 11% on a constant currency basis) during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase in total and same-store retail sales was primarily due to increased inventory levels during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 and strong demand for deep value goods. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales was 37% during both the second quarter of 2022 and 2021.

Latin America inventories increased 2% (3% on a constant currency basis) from $72.9 million at June 30, 2021 to $74.6 million at June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to lower-than-normal inventory balances at June 30, 2021 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inventories aged greater than one year in Latin America were 1% at both June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The increase in total and same-store pawn receivables was primarily due to the continued recovery in pawn lending demand during the second quarter of 2022 towards pre-pandemic levels. The Company attributes the slower growth in Latin American pawn receivables in part to continued, elevated currency remittances from the U.S.

Latin America pawn loan fees increased 8% (also 8% on a constant currency basis), totaling $46.3 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $43.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. Same-store pawn fees increased 7% (also 7% on a constant currency basis) in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Segment Expenses

Operating expenses increased 5% (also 5% on a constant currency basis) to $48.1 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $45.6 million during the second quarter of 2021, reflecting continued store growth and modest inflationary pressure on labor and other operating expenses in the current quarter. Same-store operating expenses increased 5% (also 5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $33.2 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 21% compared to $28.1 million and 20% in the prior year, respectively.

(1)    The AFF segment results are significantly impacted by certain purchase accounting adjustments as noted in the retail POS payment solutions segment results of operations above. Adjusted retail POS payment solutions segment pre-tax operating income excluding such purchase accounting adjustments was $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Corporate Expenses and Taxes

Administrative expenses increased 35% to $37.1 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the AFF Acquisition. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses decreased from 7% during the second quarter of 2021 to 6% during the second quarter of 2022.

Corporate depreciation and amortization expense increased 1,356% to $14.9 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to $14.2 million in amortization expense during the second quarter of 2022 related to identified intangible assets in the AFF Acquisition.

Interest expense increased 126% to $16.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured notes and higher interest rates and higher average balances outstanding on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

35

Merger and acquisition expenses decreased 71% to $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2021 due to the timing of transaction costs.

The Company revalues the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition to fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized a gain of $65.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 as a result of a decrease in the liability for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition. The contingent consideration is primarily based on AFF’s achievement of certain EBITDA targets by the end of 2022 and in the first half of 2023. Given the macro-driven slowdown in origination activity compared to the forecasts at the time the AFF acquisition was negotiated last summer, the Company now expects the earnout component of the contingent consideration to be at the low end of the payout scale. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 as a result of a cash distribution received from a non-operating investment acquired in conjunction with the Company’s 2016 merger with Cash America International, Inc. (“Cash America Merger”), which was included in other expenses (income), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Consolidated effective income tax rates for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 were 21.5% and 26.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in U.S. sourced income, primarily a result of the AFF Acquisition, which is taxed at a lower rate than the Latin American countries the Company operates in, and an increased foreign permanent tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, related to an increased inflation index adjustment allowed in Mexico as a result of elevated inflation in Mexico, which started during the latter half of 2021. In addition, the Company recognized a $3.4 million permanent domestic tax benefit in the second quarter of 2022 related to the $65.6 million gain on revaluation of certain contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition as described above.

Store operating expenses increased 7% (also 7% on a constant currency basis) to $93.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $87.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting continued store growth and inflationary pressure on labor and other operating expenses during the current period. Same-store operating expenses increased 6% (also 6% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The segment pre-tax operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $62.8 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 20% compared to $53.8 million and 20% in the prior year, respectively. The increase in the segment pre-tax operating income reflected a 10% increase in net revenue further leveraged by a 7% increase in operating expenses.

(1)    The AFF segment results are significantly impacted by certain purchase accounting adjustments as noted in the retail POS payment solutions segment results of operations above. Adjusted retail POS payment solutions segment pre-tax operating income excluding such purchase accounting adjustments was $50.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Corporate Expenses and Taxes

Administrative expenses increased 27% to $73.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $58.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the AFF Acquisition. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses decreased from 7% during six months ended June 30, 2021 to 6% during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Corporate depreciation and amortization expense increased 1,396% to $29.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to $28.4 million in amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to identified intangible assets in the AFF Acquisition.

42

Interest expense increased 125% to $32.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured notes and higher interest rates and higher average balances outstanding on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Merger and acquisition expenses decreased 22% to $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the timing of transaction costs.

The Company recognized a gain of $63.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of a decrease in the liability for the estimated fair value of certain contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of a cash distribution received from a non-operating investment acquired in conjunction with the Cash America Merger, which was included in other expenses (income), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Consolidated effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 22.2% and 27.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in U.S. sourced income, primarily a result of the AFF Acquisition, which is taxed at a lower rate than the Latin American countries the Company operates in, and an increased foreign permanent tax benefit recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, related to an increased inflation index adjustment allowed in Mexico as a result of elevated inflation in Mexico, which started during the latter half of 2021. In addition, the Company recognized a $3.4 million permanent domestic tax benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the $63.0 million gain on revaluation of certain contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Material Capital Requirements

The Company’s primary capital requirements include:

•Expand pawn operations through growth of pawn receivables and inventories in existing stores, new store openings and strategic acquisition of pawn stores;

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

◦Expected to result in additional purchases of lease merchandise, funding of additional finance receivables and an increase in servicing and collection activities to support increased leases and finance receivables outstanding;

◦Expected to require operational support and development activities around AFF’s proprietary loan management and decisioning systems along with marketing and merchant and customer service functions; and

•Return capital to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases.

Other material capital requirements include operating expenses (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding operating lease commitments), general corporate operating activities, income tax payments and debt service, among others. The Company believes that net cash provided by operating activities and available and unused funds under its revolving unsecured credit facilities will be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital needs for these items in the short-term over the next 12 months and also in the long-term beyond the next 12 months.

Expand Pawn Operations

The Company intends to continue expansion through new store openings and acquisitions. For 2022, the Company expects to add up to 60 full-service pawn locations. Future store openings are subject to the Company’s ability to identify locations in markets with attractive demographics, available real estate with favorable leases and limited competition. Additional factors include uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to, the ability to continue construction projects and obtain necessary licenses and permits, utility services, store equipment, supplies and staffing. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions based upon growth potential, purchase price, available liquidity, debt covenant restrictions, strategic fit and quality of management personnel, among other factors.

43

Although viewed by management as a discretionary expenditure not required to operate its pawn stores, the Company may continue to purchase real estate from its landlords at existing stores or in conjunction with pawn store acquisitions as opportunities arise at reasonable valuations. The Company purchased the real estate at 28 store locations, primarily from landlords at existing stores, for a cumulative purchase price of $58.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Expand Retail POS Payment Solutions Operations

AFF expects to expand its business primarily by promoting and expanding relationships with both new and existing customers and retail merchant partners. In addition, AFF has made, and intends to continue to make, investments in its customer and merchant support operations and facilities, its technology platforms and its proprietary decisioning platforms and processes.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

In July 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.33 per share third quarter cash dividend on common shares outstanding, or an aggregate of $15.6 million based on the June 30, 2022 share count, to be paid on August 26, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 12, 2022. While the Company currently expects to continue the payment of quarterly cash dividends, the amount, declaration and payment of cash dividends in the future (quarterly or otherwise) will be made by the Board of Directors, from time to time, subject to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business requirements, compliance with legal requirements, debt covenant restrictions and other relevant factors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 1,349,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $92.7 million and an average cost per share of $68.70, and during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 536,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $38.0 million and an average cost per share of $70.87. The Company has approximately $79.5 million of remaining availability under its currently authorized stock repurchase program. While the Company intends to continue repurchases under its active share repurchase program, future share repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, liquidity needs, credit availability, debt covenant restrictions, general business and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, the market price of the Company’s stock, dividend policy and the availability of alternative investment opportunities.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company regularly evaluates opportunities to optimize its capital structure, including through consideration of the issuance of debt or equity, to refinance existing debt and to enter into interest rate hedge transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity were $110.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $252.9 million of available and unused funds under the Company’s revolving unsecured credit facilities, subject to certain financial covenants (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company had working capital of $728.7 million as of June 30, 2022.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 included $26.3 million held by its foreign subsidiaries. These cash balances, which are primarily held in Mexican pesos, are associated with foreign earnings the Company has asserted are indefinitely reinvested and which the Company primarily plans to use to support its continued growth plans outside the U.S. through funding of capital expenditures, acquisitions, operating expenses or other similar cash needs of the Company’s foreign operations.

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

If needed, the Company could seek to raise additional funds from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, repatriation of excess cash held in Latin America, the sale of assets, reductions in operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends, the forbearance or deferral of operating expenses, the issuance of debt or equity securities, leveraging currently unencumbered real estate owned by the Company and/or changes to its management of current assets. The characteristics of the Company’s current assets, specifically the ability to rapidly liquidate gold jewelry inventory, which accounts for approximately 48% of total inventory, give the Company flexibility to quickly increase cash flow, if necessary.

Working capital		$	728,717		$	401,174
Current ratio	3.1:1			2.7:1

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $113.0 million, or 99%, from $113.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $226.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to net changes in certain non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to operating cash flow and net changes in other operating assets and liabilities (as detailed in the consolidated statements of cash flows), and an increase in net income of $52.0 million.

Cash Flow Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $28.5 million, or 26%, from $107.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $136.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash flows from investing activities are utilized primarily to fund acquisitions, purchases of furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements, which includes capital expenditures for improvements to existing stores and for new pawn store openings and other corporate assets, and discretionary purchases of store real property. In addition, cash flows related to the funding of new pawn loans net of cash repayments and recovery of principal through the sale of inventories acquired from forfeiture of pawn collateral and finance receivables are included in investing activities. The Company paid $19.7 million for furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements and $58.6 million for discretionary pawn store real property purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $21.0 million and $29.1 million in the prior-year period, respectively. The Company paid $2.3 million in cash related to pawn store acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $49.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company funded a net increase in pawn loans of $32.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the Company funded a net increase in finance receivables of $23.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash Flow Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $80.5 million, or 374%, from $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $102.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net borrowings on the credit facilities were $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net borrowings of $40.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company funded $87.7 million for share repurchases and paid dividends of $28.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to funding $36.4 million of share repurchases and dividends paid of $23.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company paid withholding taxes on net share settlements of restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $1.7 million.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS   

The Company’s pawn, LTO and retail finance businesses are subject to significant regulation in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Existing regulations and regulatory developments are further and more completely described under “Governmental Regulation” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.

45

As previously reported, AFF received a subpoena from the New Jersey Attorney General’s office on January 6, 2022 requesting information related to AFF’s partnership with FinWise Bank and the bank loans with New Jersey consumers that AFF sub-services. On May 6, 2022, the New Jersey Attorney General’s office notified AFF that the office was closing the investigation it was conducting in connection with the subpoena previously issued to AFF and that the office would be taking no further action.

There have been no other material changes in regulatory developments directly affecting the Company since December 31, 2021.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

In conjunction with the Cash America Merger in 2016, the Company recorded certain lease intangibles related to above- or below-market lease liabilities of Cash America which are included in the operating lease right of use asset on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company continues to opportunistically purchase real estate from landlords at certain Cash America stores, the associated lease intangible, if any, is written off and gain or loss is recognized. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these gains or losses given the variability in size and timing of these transactions and because they are non-cash, non-operating gains or losses. The Company believes this improves comparability of operating results for current periods presented with prior periods.

46

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

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

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

(1)See detail of the AFF purchase accounting adjustments below.

(2)The seller of AFF has the right to receive up to $250.0 million and up to $50.0 million of additional consideration if AFF achieves certain adjusted EBITDA targets for the period consisting of the fourth quarter of 2021 through the end of 2022 and the first half of 2023, respectively. In addition, the seller of AFF has the right to receive up to an additional $75.0 million of consideration based on the performance of the Company’s stock through February 28, 2023. The Company estimated the fair value of this contingent consideration payable to the seller of AFF as of the acquisition date and revalues the contingent consideration to fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The gain is a result of a net decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the seller of AFF as of June 30, 2022.

(3)For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, this primarily includes a $2.5 million gain, net of tax, recognized as a result of a cash distribution received from a non-operating investment acquired in conjunction with the Cash America Merger. The Company has elected to exclude the gain from adjusted earnings given the non-operating nature of the income.

The fair value premium on acquired finance receivables and leased merchandise was a result of recognizing these acquired assets at fair value in purchase accounting, the amortization of which is non-cash. There is approximately $15.0 million of fair value premium related to acquired finance receivables remaining and $1.7 million of fair value premium related to acquired leased merchandise remaining, which are expected to be substantially amortized by the end of 2022. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized through 2028.

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

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

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

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

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

Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment Purchase Accounting Adjustments

Management believes the presentation of certain retail POS payment solutions segment metrics adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of AFF’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, which management believes is non-operating in nature and not representative of AFF’s core operating performance. See the retail POS payment solutions segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional reconciliation of certain amounts adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting to as reported GAAP amounts.

Additionally, the following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated total revenue presented in accordance with GAAP to adjusted total revenue, which excludes the impacts of purchase accounting (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Total revenue, as reported	$	647,616	$	389,578	$	1,307,455	$	797,517
Adjustments:
AFF purchase accounting adjustments (1)	11,514		—		27,687		—
Adjusted total revenue	$	659,130	$	389,578	$	1,335,142	$	797,517

(1)Adjustment relates to the net amortization of the fair value premium on acquired finance receivables, which is recognized as an adjustment to interest income on an effective yield basis over the lives of the acquired finance receivables. See the retail POS payment solutions segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional segment level reconciliations.

Constant Currency Results

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, certain performance metrics discussed in this report are presented on a “constant currency” basis, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management uses constant currency results to evaluate operating results of business operations in Latin America, which are primarily transacted in local currencies.

The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America, consistent with how the Company’s management evaluates such performance and operating results. Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating certain balance sheet and income statement items denominated in local currencies using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current comparable period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations for purposes of evaluating period-over-period comparisons. Business operations in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia are transacted in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and Colombian pesos. The Company also has operations in El Salvador where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. See the Latin America operations segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional reconciliation of certain constant currency amounts to as reported GAAP amounts.

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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The impact of current-year fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular, are further discussed in Part I, Item 2 herein. 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, 2021.

51

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) as of June 30, 2022 (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

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is in the process of documenting and testing AFF’s internal control over financial reporting and expects to incorporate AFF into its annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2022.

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.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions, and the results of operations for the acquired stores have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the “AFF Acquisition”) of AFF, which is a leading technology-driven retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions platform primarily focused on providing lease-to-own (“LTO”) products.

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021, have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect ASU 2020-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for entities. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted the CECL accounting standard. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, the Company does not expect ASU 2022-02 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statements.

American First Finance Acquisition

On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the AFF Acquisition. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $16.9 million. The adjusted purchase price allocation is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

The following table details the preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2021, the measurement period adjustments made during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2022, subject to future measurement period adjustments (in thousands):

Leases [Abstract]

Operating Leases

Operating Leases

Lessor

For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.

Lessee

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

Leased facilities are generally leased for a term of three to five years with one or more options to renew for an additional three to five years, typically at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, the majority of these leases can be terminated early upon an adverse change in law which negatively affects the store’s profitability. The Company regularly evaluates renewal and termination options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and excludes these options from

the lease term included in the recognition of the operating lease right of use asset and lease liability until such certainty exists. The weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.1 years for both June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The operating lease right of use asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate to apply to groups of leases with similar characteristics. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 6.0% and 6.6%, respectively.

The Company has certain operating leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The liability related to these leases is considered a monetary liability and requires remeasurement each reporting period into the functional currency (Mexican pesos) using reporting date exchange rates. The remeasurement results in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses each reporting period, which can produce a certain level of earnings volatility. The Company recognized a foreign currency gain of less than $0.1 million and a gain of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the remeasurement of these U.S. dollar denominated operating leases, which is included in loss (gain) on foreign exchange in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a foreign currency gain of $0.7 million and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively, related to these U.S. dollar denominated leases.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease expense recognized in the period such payments are incurred. The following table details the components of lease expense included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Operating lease expense	$	32,074	$	31,374	$	63,602	$	62,439
Variable lease expense (1)	4,229		3,939		8,403		7,773
Total operating lease expense	$	36,303	$	35,313	$	72,005	$	70,212

(1)Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance and common area or other maintenance costs paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor and can therefore vary over the lease term.

The following table details the maturity of lease liabilities for all operating leases as of June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Six months ending December 31, 2022	$	55,095

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

	Estimated Fair Value
	June 30,		Fair Value Measurements Using
	2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities:
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration (1)	$	46,560	$	—	$	—	$	46,560

(1)The contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

	Estimated Fair Value

	2021		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial liabilities:
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration (1)	$	109,549	$	—	$	—	$	109,549

(1)The current portion of $95.6 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the non-current portion of $14.0 million is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company revalues the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition is determined by applying a Monte Carlo simulation, which includes inputs not observable in the market, such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected financial forecast of AFF over the earn-out period, and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition.

The changes in financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 fair value measurements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2022
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration at beginning of the period	$	112,119	$	109,549
Change in fair value (1)	(65,559)		(62,989)
Contingent AFF acquisition consideration at end of the period	$	46,560	$	46,560

(1)    The Company recognized a gain of $65.6 million and $63.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition, which is included in gain on revaluation of contingent acquisition consideration in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired.

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

(1)Finance receivables, gross as of December 31, 2021 was $220.3 million. See Note 6.

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

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

The carrying value of the unsecured credit facilities approximates fair value as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The fair value of the unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the unsecured credit facilities have a variable interest rate based on a fixed spread over LIBOR or the Mexican Central Bank’s interbank equilibrium rate (“TIIE”) and reprice with any changes in LIBOR or TIIE. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Revolving Unsecured Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2022, the Company maintained an unsecured line of credit with a group of U.S.-based commercial lenders (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $500.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on December 19, 2024. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $274.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $3.2 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility, leaving $222.8 million available for future borrowings, subject to certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility is unsecured and bears interest, at the Company’s option, of either (1) the prevailing 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%. The agreement has a LIBOR floor of 0%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.325% on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility commitment. The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2022 was 3.80% based on 1-month LIBOR. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The 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 covenants of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of $15.0 million from borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility.

Revolving Unsecured Uncommitted Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s primary subsidiary in Mexico, First Cash S.A. de C.V., maintained an unsecured and uncommitted line of credit guaranteed by FirstCash, Inc. with a bank in Mexico (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $600.0 million Mexican pesos. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at TIIE plus a fixed spread of 2.5% and matures on March 9, 2023. 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 covenants of the Mexico Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $600.0 million Mexican pesos available for borrowings.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2028

On August 26, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due on September 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2028 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 2.75 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.7 to 1. While the 2028 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2030

On December 13, 2021, the Company issued $550.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due on January 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Credit Facility. The 2030 Notes will permit the Company to make restricted payments, such as purchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, in an unlimited amount if, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of any indebtedness to make such payment, the Company's consolidated total debt ratio is less than 3.0 to 1. The consolidated total debt ratio is defined generally in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes as the ratio of (1) the total consolidated debt of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents of the Company to (2) the Company’s consolidated trailing twelve months EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring expenses and giving pro forma effect to operations acquired during the measurement period. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.7 to 1. While the 2030 Notes generally limit the Company’s ability to make restricted payments if the consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1, restricted payments are allowable within certain permitted baskets, which currently provides the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1.

The Company utilized the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes to finance the cash consideration and transaction expenses for the AFF Acquisition, including the repayment, in full, of the outstanding debt under AFF’s credit facility at the closing of the AFF Acquisition, payment of fees and expenses related to the note offering and reduction of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits, arbitration proceedings and other general claims. Although no assurances can be given, in management’s opinion, any potential adverse result should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 14, 2022, plaintiff Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System filed a putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit (the “Litigation”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and certain of its current officers styled Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System v. FirstCash Holdings, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 4:22-CV-00033-P (N.D. Tex.). The complaint alleges that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements that caused losses to investors. The complaint further alleges that the defendants failed to disclose in public statements that the Company engaged in widespread and systemic violations of the Military Lending Act (the “MLA”). The Litigation does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, it seeks to recover damages on behalf of the plaintiff and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company stock during the putative class period from February 1, 2018 through November 12, 2021 at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend the Litigation vigorously. On April 4, 2022, following the appointment of a lead plaintiff, the Court entered an order setting certain case deadlines for the filing of an amended complaint and any responsive pleading thereto. On June 8, 2022, the Company and named defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which

remains pending. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred due to this Litigation or estimate a range of loss, if any, and accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company was named as a nominal defendant and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on July 19, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and styled Treppel Family Trust U/A 08/18/18 Lawrence A. Treppel and Geri D. Treppel for the Benefit of Geri D. Treppel and Larry A. Treppel, Derivatively on Behalf of FirstCash Holdings, Inc., v. Rick L. Wessel, et. al, Case 4:22-cv-00623-P (N.D. Tex). The complaint makes similar allegations as the Litigation and alleges a single count for breach of fiduciary duty against the named derivative defendants. The action does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs and certain equitable relief, the derivative plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company for purported financial harm and to have the court order changes in the Company’s corporate governance. The named derivative defendants and the Company dispute these allegations and intend to defend the action vigorously.

On November 12, 2021, the CFPB initiated a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against FirstCash, Inc. and Cash America West, Inc., two of the Company’s subsidiaries, alleging violations of the MLA in connection with pawn transactions. The CFPB also alleges that these same alleged violations of the MLA also constitute breaches of a 2013 CFPB consent order entered into by its predecessor company that, among other things, allegedly required the company and its successors to cease and desist from further MLA violations. The CFPB is seeking an injunction, redress for affected borrowers and a civil monetary penalty. On March 28, 2022, the CFPB filed a motion to strike certain affirmative defenses of the Company, which motion remains pending. On April 27, 2022, the Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment, which remains pending. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in the case, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of this matter or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

On November 7, 2018, plaintiffs Maria Andrade and Shaun Caulkins filed a complaint (the “Andrade Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF. In the Andrade Complaint, the plaintiffs allege that AFF partnered with California merchants to deceive California customers into taking out usurious loans made from AFF, an unlicensed lender. Based on these allegations, the plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of themselves and a class of all California residents who purchased consumer goods or services from AFF’s partner retail businesses. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, class certification, a declaration that AFF’s security agreements are void and uncollectible, restitution of all amounts collected from class members, actual damages, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiff Caulkins’ claims were dismissed in October 2020 and co-defendants were dismissed from the complaint in August 2021. The class certification motion hearing is set for August 15, 2022. At this time, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the Andrade Complaint or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

On October 20, 2021, plaintiff Larry Facio filed a complaint (the “Facio Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF. In the Facio Complaint, the plaintiff alleges that AFF partnered with California merchants to deceive California customers into taking out usurious loans made from AFF, an unlicensed lender. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, class certification, a declaration that AFF’s security agreements are subject to the California Finance Lenders Law and that no person has a right to collect or receive principal or payments, restitution for all amounts collected from class members, actual damages, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees. On May 5, 2022, the court granted AFF’s motion to compel arbitration, and the case is currently stayed, pending arbitration. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the Facio Complaint or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on the Company.

General (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions, and the results of operations for the acquired stores have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the “AFF Acquisition”) of AFF, which is a leading technology-driven retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions platform primarily focused on providing lease-to-own (“LTO”) products.

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021, have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect ASU 2020-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for entities. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted the CECL accounting standard. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, the Company does not expect ASU 2022-02 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statements

Fair Value Measurement

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.
