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, outlook and prospects of FirstCash Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) and the Company’s previously announced acquisition of Ramsdens Holdings plc (“Ramsdens”). 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, outlook 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 and risks may include, without limitation, risks related to the extensive regulatory environment in which the Company operates, including uncertainty involving the present regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; risks associated with the legal and regulatory proceedings that the Company is a party to or may become a party to in the future; risks related to the Company’s acquisitions, including the failure of the Company’s acquisitions to deliver the estimated value and benefits expected by the Company and the ability of the Company to continue to identify and consummate acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all; risks related to the acquisition of Ramsdens, in particular, the ability to obtain the necessary shareholder, anti-trust and regulatory approvals, and to satisfy other closing conditions in the expected timeframe, if at all, and the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Ramsdens on the anticipated timeline, if at all; potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for the Company’s pawn loan, retail, lease-to-own (“LTO”) and retail finance products; labor shortages and increased labor costs; a deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States, Latin America and the United Kingdom, including as a result of geopolitical conflicts, inflation, elevated interest rates, increased energy costs and trade policy, which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending and demand for the Company’s products; currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso and British pound sterling; competition the Company faces from other retailers and providers of retail payment solutions; the ability of the Company to successfully execute on its business strategies; risks related to the Company’s ability to prevent cyber attacks, other cybersecurity incidents, security breaches or other disruptions to its information technology systems; risks related to the Company’s ability to develop, operate and adapt its information technology infrastructure suitable for the nature of its business and to successfully transition acquired businesses to its information technology platform; contraction in sales activity or store closures at merchant partners of the Company’s retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions business; the ability of the Company’s retail POS payment solutions business to continue to grow its base of merchant partners; 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 I, 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, 2025, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, includes 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 acquisitions 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, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Company completed the acquisition of H&T Group plc (“H&T”), the leading pawn operator in the United Kingdom, on August 14, 2025, the date on which the balance sheet and operating results of H&T were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results (the “H&T Acquisition”). The purchase price allocation for the H&T Acquisition remains preliminary as of June 30, 2026. No material measurement period adjustments were recognized during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2026.

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

On June 18, 2026, the Company completed its reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Texas by conversion. The reincorporation was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 9, 2026. The reincorporation did not affect the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

The net presentation of pawn loans within cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 has been revised to reflect a gross presentation of pawn loans made, pawn loans repaid and recovery of pawn loan principal through sale of forfeited collateral. This reclassification of prior period amounts did not result in changes to previously reported net cash flow used in investing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date,” which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's current financial position, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal—Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software by eliminating references to project stages and clarifying the threshold applied to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

Pending Ramsdens Acquisition

On June 23, 2026, the Company agreed on terms of the acquisition of Ramsdens, a leading pawn operator in the United Kingdom with 174 store locations, whereby the Company will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Ramsdens by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006, as amended (“Ramsdens Acquisition”). On July 16, 2026, the Company agreed on revised terms of the acquisition to increase the cash price to be received by Ramsdens’ shareholders. Under the revised terms of the Ramsdens Acquisition, Ramsdens’ shareholders will be entitled to receive 675 pence per share in cash. In addition, Ramsdens’ shareholders will receive an interim cash dividend of up to 9 pence for each Ramsdens share to be paid on October 9, 2026. The total equity value for the Ramsdens Acquisition, including cash consideration for the shares, is approximately £231.7 million ($307.5 million USD using GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.33).

The Ramsdens Acquisition is expected to be consummated by the end of 2026, subject to approval of Ramsdens’ shareholders, receipt of the required anti-trust and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions.

U.S. Pawn Acquisitions

Consistent with the Company’s strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in strategic markets, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company acquired eight pawn stores in the U.S. in four separate transactions. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled $6.6 million, net of cash acquired and subject to future post-closing adjustments. The aggregate purchase price was composed of $6.3 million in cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and remaining short-term amounts payable to certain of the sellers of $0.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company also paid $5.2 million of purchase price amounts payable related to prior-year pawn acquisitions.

The purchase price of each of the 2026 acquisitions was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn stores acquired. The acquisitions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 - Operating Leases

Lessor

For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to the “Leased merchandise and revenue recognition” section of Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.

Lessee

The Company leases approximately 62% of its U.S. pawnshop locations, almost all of its Latin America and U.K. 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 as of June 30, 2026 and 4.2 years as of June 30, 2025.

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, 2026 and 2025 was 8.0% and 8.5%, 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 $0.8 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized a foreign currency gain of $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to these U.S. dollar denominated operating 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, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):


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

Total operating lease expense	$	46,211	$	41,501	$	92,659	$	80,934

(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 did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

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. There were no such events or conditions identified during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

(1)Finance receivables, gross as of December 31, 2025 were $283.5 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 liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure approximates fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the short-term nature and estimation based on current expected lifetime losses.

The carrying value of the revolving unsecured credit facility approximates fair value as of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of the revolving unsecured credit facility is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the revolving unsecured credit facility has a variable interest rate based on the prevailing secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and reprices with any changes in SOFR.

As of June 30, 2026, the other long-term debt consists of fixed rate senior unsecured notes. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the other long-term debt consists primarily of fixed rate senior unsecured notes and secured term loans. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. The fair value of the secured term loans is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. The remainder of the other long-term debt consists of two variable interest rate credit facilities, the carrying value of which approximates fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

Revolving Unsecured Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2026, the Company maintained an unsecured line of credit with a group of U.S.-based commercial lenders (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $700.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on August 8, 2029. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $69.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $3.5 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility, leaving $627.5 million available for future borrowings, subject to certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at the Company’s option of either (1) the prevailing SOFR (with interest periods of one, three or six 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 SOFR 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, 2026 was 6.12% based on one-month SOFR. 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, 2026.

The Bridge Facility provides a backstop for the anticipated financing of the Ramsdens Acquisition and satisfies the “certain funds” requirements under the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The availability of borrowings under the Bridge Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the consummation of the Ramsdens Acquisition contemporaneously with the initial funding of the Bridge Facility. The Company expects to replace the Bridge Facility prior to the closing date of the Ramsdens Acquisition by borrowing on the Credit Facility to finance the Ramsdens Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

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, 2026, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 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.

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, 2026, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 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 provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1. While the 2032 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 provide the Company with continued flexibility to make restricted payments when the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio is greater than 3.0 to 1.

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2034

On May 1, 2026, the Company issued $750.0 million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due on May 1, 2034 (the “2034 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2034 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on November 1, 2026. The 2034 Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility, to repay the U.K. Credit Facility in full and to repay the U.K. Term Loans in full, after payment of fees and expenses related to the offering. The Company capitalized $9.1 million in debt issuance costs, which

consisted primarily of the initial purchaser’s discount and fees and legal and other professional expenses. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the 2034 Notes as a component of interest expense and are carried as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the 2034 Notes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The 2034 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 2034 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 2034 Notes (the “2034 Notes Indenture”) 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, 2026, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.6 to 1. While the 2034 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 provide 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 may redeem some or all of the 2034 Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2029, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2034 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, prior to May 1, 2029, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2034 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the 2034 Notes Indenture. The Company may redeem up to 40% of the 2034 Notes on or prior to May 1, 2029 with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption prices set forth in the 2034 Notes Indenture. If the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain assets or if the Company consummates certain change in control transactions, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2034 Notes.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings and other general claims. Although no assurances can be given, in management’s opinion, such outstanding proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

OBS Loans

The Company is obligated to reimburse the Company’s bank partner for the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest for all OBS Loans that are 90 days contractually past due. This obligation constitutes an off-balance sheet credit exposure for which the Company is required to recognize, upon inception of the obligation, a liability for the expected lifetime losses, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding amount of OBS Loans originated and held by the Company’s bank partner, which would represent the maximum exposure to the Company, was $35.2 million.

The following table details the changes in the liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure (in thousands):

Pending Ramsdens Acquisition

Under the terms of the pending Ramsdens Acquisition, Ramsdens’ shareholders will be entitled to receive 675 pence per share in cash. In addition, Ramsdens’ shareholders will receive an interim cash dividend of up to 9 pence for each Ramsdens share to be paid on October 9, 2026. The total equity value for the Ramsdens Acquisition, including cash consideration for the shares, is approximately £231.7 million ($307.5 million USD using GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.33). The Company intends to borrow on its Credit Facility to finance the Ramsdens Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. The Company also entered into the Bridge Facility, which provides a backstop for the anticipated financing of the Ramsdens Acquisition and satisfies the “certain funds” requirements under the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. The Ramsdens Acquisition is expected to be consummated by the end of 2026, subject to approval of Ramsdens’ shareholders, receipt of the required anti-trust and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had contractual commitments to deliver a total of 43,500 gold ounces between July 2026 and September 2027 at a weighted-average price of $3,920 per ounce. The ounces required to be delivered over this time period are less than the historical volume of scrap gold normally produced, and the Company expects to have the required gold ounces to meet the commitments as they come due.

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, 2025.

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 international operator of pawn stores with locations in the U.S., Latin America and the U.K. 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 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.

The Company is also a leading provider of customer payment solutions at the POS for retailers of consumer goods and services, which it conducts solely through its subsidiary, AFF. The Company’s customer payment solutions business line focuses on LTO products and facilitating other retail financing payment options across a large network of traditional and e-commerce merchant partners in the U.S. 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.

The Company’s two business lines are organized into four reportable segments. The U.S. pawn segment consists of pawn operations in the U.S.; the Latin America pawn segment consists of pawn operations in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia; and the U.K. pawn segment consists of pawn operations in England, Scotland and Wales. The retail POS payment solutions segment consists of the operations of AFF in the U.S.

U.S. Pawn Segment

Merchandise Sales Operations

U.S. retail merchandise sales increased 10% to $275.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $249.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Same-store retail sales increased 8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in total and same-store retail sales was primarily due to continued strong demand for value priced merchandise and increased inventory levels during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales in the U.S. was 43% during both the second quarter of 2026 and 2025.

U.S. wholesale scrap jewelry revenue, consisting primarily of gold sales, increased 152% to $72.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $28.7 million during the second quarter of 2025. The scrap gross profit margin in the U.S. was 16% compared to the prior-year margin of 9%. The increase in wholesale scrap jewelry revenue was primarily due to increases in pawn lending activity over the past several quarters, which created more forfeited collateral to scrap, and the increase in gold prices over the past year.

U.S. inventories increased 28% to $324.1 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $252.9 million at June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in pawn lending activity over the past several quarters, which created more forfeited inventory available for sale, partially offset by an increase in forfeited collateral that was scrapped. Inventories aged greater than one year in the U.S. were 1.5% at June 30, 2026, which excludes aged inventories from certain recently acquired stores, compared to 1.9% at June 30, 2025.

Pawn Lending Operations

U.S. pawn loan receivables as of June 30, 2026 increased 20% in total and 19% on a same-store basis compared to June 30, 2025. The Company believes the increase in same-store pawn receivables was primarily due to continued strong customer demand from a combination of more customer transactions and an increase in the average loan amount requested by customers.

U.S. pawn loan fees increased 15% to $150.1 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $130.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Same-store pawn loan fees increased 14% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in total and same-store pawn loan fees was due to the higher pawn receivable balances.

Segment Expenses

U.S. operating expenses increased 6% to $142.4 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $133.8 million during the second quarter of 2025 while same-store operating expenses increased 5% compared with the prior-year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased labor and variable compensation expenses.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The U.S. segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $129.2 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 26% compared to $98.3 million and 24% in the prior year, respectively. The increase in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin reflected increased net revenue, partially offset by an increase in segment expenses.

Latin America Pawn Segment

Latin America segment pre-tax operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 benefited from an 11% favorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar. The translated value of Latin American earning assets as of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025 also benefited from a 7% favorable change in the end-of-period Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar. 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. See the “Constant Currency Results” section in “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional discussion of constant currency operating results.

Merchandise Sales Operations

Latin America retail merchandise sales increased 28% (15% on a constant currency basis) to $174.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $136.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. Same-store retail sales also increased 28% (15% on a constant currency basis) during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in constant currency total and same-store retail sales was primarily due to strong demand for value priced merchandise and increased inventory levels during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales was 35% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 36% during the second quarter of 2025.

Latin America wholesale scrap jewelry revenue, consisting primarily of gold sales, increased 279% to $38.2 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $10.1 million during the second quarter of 2025. The scrap gross profit margin in Latin America was 14% for both the second quarter of 2026 and 2025. The increase in wholesale scrap jewelry revenue was primarily due to increases in pawn lending activity over the past several quarters, which created more forfeited collateral to scrap, and the increase in gold prices over the past year.

Latin America inventories increased 57% (45% on a constant currency basis) to $161.0 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $102.8 million at June 30, 2025. The increase in constant currency inventories was primarily due to increased pawn lending activity over the past several quarters, creating more forfeited inventory and a slightly increased mix of higher value jewelry inventory, partially offset by an increase in forfeited collateral that was scrapped. Inventories aged greater than one year in Latin America were 1.2% at June 30, 2026 compared to 1.5% at June 30, 2025.

Pawn Lending Operations

Latin America pawn loan receivables increased 32% (22% on a constant currency basis) as of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025. On a same-store basis, pawn loan receivables also increased 32% (22% on a constant currency basis) as of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025. The increase in constant currency total and same-store pawn receivables is primarily due to the increased number of pawn loans and larger average loan sizes, driven in part by an increased mix of higher value jewelry loans.

Latin America pawn loan fees increased 33% (19% on a constant currency basis), totaling $79.6 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $59.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Same-store pawn fees also increased 33% (19% on a constant currency basis) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The constant currency increase in total and same-store pawn loan fees was primarily due to increased constant currency pawn receivables.

Operating expenses increased 28% (15% on a constant currency basis) to $82.2 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $64.4 million during the second quarter of 2025. Same-store operating expenses also increased 28% (15% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period. The constant currency increase in total and same-store operating expenses was primarily driven by general inflationary impacts and continued increases in the federally mandated minimum wage.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $58.1 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 20% compared to $41.0 million and 20% in the prior year, respectively. The increase in the segment pre-tax operating income reflected increased net revenue, partially offset by an increase in segment expenses.

U.K. Pawn Segment

The Company completed the H&T Acquisition on August 14, 2025, and the results of operations of H&T have been consolidated since the acquisition date.

The U.K. pawn segment contributed $95.3 million in revenue and $33.6 million in segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2026. The resulting segment pre-tax operating margin was 35%.

U.K. pawn loan receivables were $217.4 million and inventories were $85.4 million as of June 30, 2026.

LTO Operations

Leased merchandise, before allowance for lease losses, decreased 17% to $141.7 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $170.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased gross transaction volumes as a result of continued weakness in the furniture industry.

The allowance for lease losses decreased 18% to $57.1 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $70.0 million as of June 30, 2025, which was primarily due to the decrease in leased merchandise balances outstanding. As a percentage of leased merchandise, the allowance was 40% at June 30, 2026 and 41% at June 30, 2025.

Leased merchandise income decreased 17% to $115.5 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $139.8 million during the second quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to lower average leased merchandise balances outstanding during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Depreciation of leased merchandise decreased 9% to $71.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $78.5 million during the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in leased merchandise balances outstanding partially offset by increased early buyout activity resulting in an increase in accelerated depreciation during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of leased merchandise income, depreciation of leased merchandise increased to 62% during the second quarter of 2026 from 56% during the second quarter of 2025.

Provision for lease losses decreased 25% to $24.5 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $32.7 million during the second quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to the 22% decrease in gross transaction volumes and slightly lower lease loss provisioning rates used during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of gross transaction volume, the provision for lease losses decreased to 29% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 30% during the second quarter of 2025.

Retail Finance Operations

Finance receivables, before allowance for loan losses, decreased 15% as of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in a number of finance receivable transaction volumes to OBS Loans, which are not included on the Company’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding amount of OBS Loans originated and held by the Company’s bank partner was $35.2 million. Including the OBS Loans, finance receivables, before allowance for loan losses would have decreased 2% as of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025, which was primarily due to the 8% decrease in gross transaction volume, which includes OBS Loans originated.

The allowance for loan losses decreased 15% to $105.0 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $122.9 million as of June 30, 2025, which was primarily due to the decrease in finance receivables outstanding. As a percentage of finance receivables, the allowance was 44% at both June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Interest and fees on retail finance products decreased 3% to $74.0 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $76.1 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a slight decline in portfolio yield primarily as a result of AFF expanding its offerings and merchant relationships in certain services sector verticals over the past twelve months, some of which are provided at lower interest rates, partially offset by higher combined average finance receivable and OBS Loan balances outstanding during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Provision for loan losses decreased 4% to $39.9 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $41.8 million during the second quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to the 8% decrease in gross transaction volumes, partially offset by slightly higher loan loss provisioning rates used during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of gross transaction volume, the provision for loan losses increased to 29% during the second quarter of 2026 from 28% during the second quarter of 2025.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The retail POS payment solutions segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $28.7 million compared to $37.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in segment net revenue.

Corporate Expenses and Taxes

Administrative expenses increased 13% to $66.8 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $59.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the addition of administrative expenses of H&T, increased variable compensation, general inflationary impacts and an 11% change in the average value of the Mexican peso resulting in higher U.S. dollar translated administrative expenses in Latin America, partially offset by the $11.0 million CFPB litigation settlement accrued for in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses decreased to 6% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 7% during the second quarter of 2025.

Depreciation and amortization increased 27% to $16.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the addition of depreciation and amortization expenses of H&T during the second quarter of 2026.

Interest expense increased 36% to $35.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to increased outstanding long-term debt balances. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Merger and acquisition expenses increased 129% to $6.4 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to $4.2 million of aggregate prepayment penalties incurred during the second quarter of 2026 to terminate the U.K. Term Loans as the Company continues its integration activities of H&T.

Leased merchandise income decreased 17% to $245.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $296.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was primarily due to lower average leased merchandise balances outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Depreciation of leased merchandise decreased 9% to $153.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $167.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in leased merchandise balances outstanding, partially offset by increased early buyout activity resulting in an increase in accelerated depreciation during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operating expenses decreased 2% to $47.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $48.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating expenses increased to 12% during the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 11% during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

The retail POS payment solutions segment pre-tax operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $54.7 million compared to $90.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in segment net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

Corporate Expenses and Taxes

Administrative expenses increased 23% to $132.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $107.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the addition of administrative expenses of H&T, increased variable compensation, general inflationary impacts, and a 13% change in the average value of the Mexican peso resulting in higher U.S. dollar translated administrative expenses in Latin America, partially offset by the $11.0 million CFPB litigation settlement accrued for in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses were 6% during both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Depreciation and amortization increased 27% to $32.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $25.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the addition of depreciation and amortization expenses of H&T during the six months ended June 30, 2026.


Table of Contents

Interest expense increased 31% to $70.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $53.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to increased outstanding long-term debt balances. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Merger and acquisition expenses increased 123% to $7.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to $4.2 million of aggregate prepayment penalties incurred during the second quarter of 2026 to terminate the U.K. Term Loans as the Company continues its integration activities of H&T.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Material Capital Requirements

The Company’s primary capital requirements include the:

•Expansion of pawn operations through growth of pawn receivables and inventories in existing stores, new store openings, strategic acquisitions of pawn stores and purchases of underlying real estate at new and existing locations;

•Growth of earning assets in the retail POS payment solutions operations through transaction volumes generated from new and existing merchant partners; and

•Return of 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), maintenance capital expenditures related to its facilities, technology platforms, 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 credit facilities will be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital needs for these items over the next 12 months and also in the longer-term beyond the next 12 months.

Expand Pawn Operations

The Company intends to continue expansion of its pawn operations through growth of pawn receivables and inventories in existing stores along with new store openings and acquisitions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company opened ten new stores in Latin America, nine new stores in the U.K., one new store in the U.S. and acquired eight pawn stores in the U.S. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions based upon growth potential, purchase price, available liquidity, strategic fit and quality of management personnel, among other factors. Future store openings and acquisitions are subject to the Company’s ability to identify acquisition opportunities and new location sites in markets with attractive demographics and favorable regulatory environments.

In connection with the pending Ramsdens Acquisition, the Company expects to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Ramsdens by the end of 2026 by paying Ramsdens’ shareholders 675 pence per share in cash. In addition, Ramsdens’ shareholders will receive an interim cash dividend of up to 9 pence for each Ramsdens share to be paid on October 9, 2026. The total equity value for the Ramsdens Acquisition, including cash consideration for the shares, is approximately £231.7 million ($307.5 million USD using GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.33).

The Company has also incurred, and expects to incur additional costs, expenses and fees for professional services, financing and other transaction and integration costs in connection with the Ramsdens Acquisition and the H&T Acquisition. The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses. The Company plans to finance the Ramsdens Acquisition and other transaction and integration costs with available funds under the Credit Facility and believes it has adequate capacity to borrow the necessary funds under the most restrictive covenants under its credit agreements.

Although viewed by management as a discretionary expenditure not required to operate its pawn stores, the Company may continue to strategically purchase real estate from its landlords at existing stores or in conjunction with pawn store acquisitions as opportunities arise at reasonable valuations. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company purchased the real estate at 23 store locations, primarily from landlords at existing stores, for a cumulative purchase price of $40.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned the real estate at a total of 466 pawn locations, primarily in the U.S., along with its corporate headquarters building in Fort Worth, Texas.

Other than the proposed Ramsdens Acquisition, the Company currently has no other contractual commitments for materially significant future acquisitions, business combinations or capital commitments.

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. In addition to utilizing cash flows generated from its own operations to fund expected 2026 growth, AFF has access to the additional sources of liquidity described below if needed to fund further expansion activities.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders totaling $36.9 million. In July 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.42 per share third quarter cash dividend on common shares outstanding, or an aggregate of $18.3 million based on the June 30, 2026 share count, to be paid on August 28, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2026. 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, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 618,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $126.6 million and an average cost per share of $204.77. The Company incurred $1.3 million of excise taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

During July 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 107,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $23.4 million and an average cost per share of $218.04, which completed the share repurchase program authorized in October 2025.

In July 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, of which the entire $150.0 million is currently remaining. The Company intends to continue repurchases under its active share repurchase program, including through open market transactions under trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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, the Company’s dividend policy and the availability of acquisitions or other 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, 2026, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity were $172.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $661.9 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). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repaid in full all outstanding amounts under its U.K. Credit Facility and U.K. Term Loans, and the related credit agreements were terminated. The Company had working capital of $1,605.6 million as of June 30, 2026.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 included $69.1 million held by its foreign subsidiaries. These cash balances, which are primarily held in Mexican pesos and British pound sterling, are associated with foreign earnings the Company has asserted are indefinitely reinvested and which the Company 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, collection of pawn fees, merchandise sales, inventory levels, LTO merchandise, finance receivable balances, collection of lease and finance receivable payments, seasonality, operating expenses, administrative expenses, expenses related to merger and acquisition activities, litigation-related expenses, tax rates, gold prices, foreign currency exchange rates and the pace of new pawn store expansion and acquisitions, including the pending Ramsdens Acquisition. 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 “Governmental Regulation.”


Table of Contents

If needed, the Company could seek to raise additional funds from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, the sale of assets, reductions in operating expenses, capital expenditures and dividends, the forbearance or deferral of certain operating expenses, the issuance of debt or equity securities, utilizing other structured financing arrangements, the leveraging of 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 66% of total inventory, give the Company flexibility to quickly increase cash flow if necessary.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

The Company’s pawn and retail POS payment solutions 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026 and in subsequent documents filed with the SEC. There have been no changes to the significant regulation that the Company’s businesses are subject to that the Company believes would have a material impact on its businesses or results of operation from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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 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.

The Company has adjusted the applicable financial calculations to exclude merger and acquisition expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the CFPB litigation settlement and certain other income and expenses. The Company does not consider these items to be related to the organic operations of the Company’s businesses or its continuing operations and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the Company. In addition, excluding these items allows for more accurate comparisons of the financial results to prior periods. 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, costs related to the consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities and other integration costs, among others.

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 are 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):

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):

Includes $12.0 million, $24.0 million and $48.9 million of amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets for the three months, six months and trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

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):

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 and the U.K., which are transacted in local currencies in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and the U.K. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America and the U.K., 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.

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 2025 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, 2025.

ITEM 4. 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 Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective.

Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and 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, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
