AUSTIN, Texas, May 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW), a leading provider of pawn loans in the United States and Mexico, today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2017.
All amounts in this release are from EZCORP continuing operations and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") unless otherwise noted. Comparisons shown in this release are to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2017
The company achieved its fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year (YOY) earnings and profit increase with earnings per share up 200% to $0.15 and net income from continuing operations up 219% to $8.4 million.
The company continued to grow its pawn loans outstanding (PLO), the most influential driver to revenue and profitability, with PLO up 2% in the U.S. and 3% in Mexico. The PLO increase in Mexico was a strong 12% when calculated on a constant currency basis1.
The company exited the quarter with a much stronger balance sheet and liquidity position, with a cash balance at the end of the quarter up 68% YOY to $120.1 million. In addition, the company continues to have access to a further $50 million undrawn availability on its credit facility.
CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Stuart Grimshaw, EZCORP's Chief Executive Officer, said: "It is pleasing to see the continuing trend of strong profit growth after the strategic changes that were implemented over a year ago. We have devoted a lot of management attention and effort in focusing on the needs and experience of our customers. Our continued focus on and investment in satisfying our customers' need for cash whenever they want it drove the acceleration in earnings and sustained growth in pawn loans outstanding.
"We have improved our balance sheet and liquidity position, which provides strategic flexibility to continue our investment in the customer experience and expansion of the pawn loan portfolio to drive increased profit. We continue to invest in the core fabric of the pawn business, including commencement of our upgraded point of sale system rollout, which we expect to be completed in both the U.S. and Mexico this calendar year. We opened two new stores in Mexico this quarter and anticipate opening an additional eight in Mexico during the remainder of this fiscal year.
"We are confident that these initiatives, combined with further investments in product development and customer analytics, in sustained training, coaching and mentoring of our field team, and in disciplined acquisitions and de novo openings, will continue to provide a robust platform for further profitable growth."
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

- Total revenue up 1% to $189.6 million. On a constant currency basis, total revenue was up 2% to $192.6 million.
- Net revenue up 1% to $109.9 million, as a 5% increase in pawn service charge (PSC) revenue was offset by softer merchandise sales due to tax refund delays in the U.S, which adversely impacted consumers’ disposable income and our sales volume.

- Operations expenses increased 3% to $74.5 million (up 5% to $75.6 million on a constant currency basis).

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency basis ("constant currency"). We use constant currency and ongoing segment contribution results to evaluate results of our Mexico Pawn operations, which are denominated in Mexican pesos, and believe that presentation of constant currency results are meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our Mexico Pawn operations and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate on a monthly basis during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period exchange rate as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 18.7 to 1 and 17.3 to 1, respectively. The approximate average exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 20.4 to 1 and 18.0 to 1. The approximate average exchange rate for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 20.1 to 1 and 17.4 to 1, respectively, however our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the impact of monthly effects of exchange rates and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss and the related foreign currency derivative gain or loss impact.
The following information provides reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.
