CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK

Chief Executive Officer Jason Kulas stated, “I am pleased with our results in the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year, and am proud the team has executed on the strategy we put in place at the end of fiscal 2020. We are improving the customer experience, embracing technological improvements, and have launched our new loyalty program which will be rolled out in the majority of stores by the end of the calendar year. Our key financial metrics continue to improve sequentially due to the initiatives that we have taken throughout the year. We credit our team members who have embraced the renewed emphasis on culture and serving our customers while focusing on innovative ways to improve the core pawn business, grow PLO and increase margins.

“We are seeing strong signs of recovery from the pandemic and stimulus impact in the U.S., with Latin America slightly lagging due to the concerns over the Delta variant.

“The integration of the 139 stores we acquired this year is going well, and our current acquisition pipeline remains robust. In addition, we recently invested in a company that gives us increased geographical diversification by having interests in pawn stores in the Caribbean.

“As we continue to grow our footprint outside of the US, I am delighted to announce the recent promotion of Blair Powell to President of Global Pawn with management responsibility for all of our pawn operations worldwide. Blair has over 30 years of experience in the industry and has been serving as President of US Pawn for the past year. I am confident that this more streamlined global structure will enhance the in-store experience, optimize expenses and further drive profitability.

“Looking ahead toward fiscal 2022, we remain committed to maintaining operating excellence, a strong balance sheet and cost discipline while pursuing sustainable growth. Our customers and team members are critical to our success. We strive to be our customers’ first and best choice for their short-term cash needs and for affordable pre-owned and recycled goods. Enhanced training and diversity and inclusion programs are in place to help develop team members and improve productivity and retention. We are appreciative of our team members’ excellent execution and passion for pawn, and we are enthusiastic about the year ahead."

For the full year, diluted earnings per share was $0.15, compared to a loss of $1.24. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share for the year was $0.38, compared to $0.39.

•For the fourth quarter, income before taxes improved 116% from a loss of $28.7 million to income of $4.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 47% from $12.3 million to $18.1 million. For the full year, income before taxes improved by 123% to $16.1 million from a loss of $70.1 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $67.5 million from $66.3 million.

•PLO significantly increased to $175.9 million, up 34% and 12% on a sequential basis. On a same-store basis2, PLO increased 29% year-over-year and 12% sequentially.

•In the fourth quarter, total revenues increased 15% and net revenues increased 33%, reflecting improved PSC and merchandise sales gross profit. For the full year, total revenues decreased 11% and net revenues were flat, reflecting lower average PLO (driving lower PSC) for the year, offset by improved sales profit margins.

•Merchandise sales gross profit margin was 41% in the fourth quarter, up from 31%. For the full year, merchandise sales gross profit margin was 42% compared to 33%. These improvements reflect the commitment to improving the core business by driving down aged general merchandise (now less than 1% of total general merchandise inventory) and focusing on selling inventory in the first 90 days.

•For the fourth quarter, PSC increased 32% due to an increase in the average PLO balance during the quarter. Though PLO significantly increased during the year, average PLO for fiscal 2021 was lower than in fiscal 2020, which led to a full year PSC decrease of 5%.

•Net inventory increased 16% year-over-year and 20% sequentially, reflecting an increase in pawn activity. Due to significant improvements at the store level, inventory turnover remained strong at a flat 2.8x for the fourth quarter and increased from 2.4x to 2.9x for the year.

•In the fourth quarter, store expenses increased $11.1 million or 14.3%, primarily due to the store count increase of 14.2% and increased incentive compensation. On a same-store basis, store expenses increased 7%. In addition, general and administrative expenses increased $11.8 million or 314%, primarily due to increased incentive compensation. For the full year, when removing the fiscal 2020 incentive compensation reversal of $20.9 million, store expenses on a same-store basis decreased $15.9 million or 5% and G&A expenses decreased $14.6 million or 21%.

•Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $253.7 million, down $50.9 million or 17% and $30.0 million or 11% on a sequential basis. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in PLO and the acquisition of new stores.

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency ("constant currency") and adjusted basis. We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency and adjusted results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our 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 primarily 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 local currency 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 and approximate average exchange rates for each applicable currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:


	September 30,		Three Months Ended September 30,		Twelve Months Ended September 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020	2021	2020

Mexican peso	20.5	22.3	20.0	22.1	20.2	21.1
Guatemalan quetzal	7.6	7.6	7.6	7.5	7.6	7.5
Honduran lempira	23.9	24.2	23.5	24.3	23.8	24.3
Peruvian sol	4.1	3.6	4.0	3.5	3.7	3.4

Our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the monthly exchange rate fluctuations and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss.
