CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK
Lachie Given, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Fiscal 2025 was another exceptional year for EZCORP, with record full-year revenue and all-time high PLO. This superior performance reflects resilient demand for immediate cash solutions and high-quality, cost-effective secondhand goods. We converted that demand into strong bottom-line growth, demonstrating the operating leverage of our platform at scale and the expertise of our team, with adjusted EBITDA up 26% to $191.2 million and adjusted diluted EPS up 27% to $1.43.
“Over the year, we successfully executed our growth strategy with disciplined acquisitions in the U.S. and Mexico and continued de novo expansion across Latin America. In fiscal 2025, we opened 40 de novo stores and acquired 52 locations, more than doubling the combined total of acquisitions in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023. We now operate 1,360 stores throughout five countries, guided by a proven operating formula that is driving record PLO and exceptional results across all geographies.
“With a flexible and liquid balance sheet, we are deploying capital purposefully, focused on high-return store growth and M&A, while remaining opportunistic with share repurchases as reflected by our newly authorized program. As we scale, we are driving strong earnings momentum in our business, and we will continue to strengthen the core, simplify and drive cost efficiency, and innovate to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides 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. In addition, we have an equity method investment that is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars. 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, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
| September 30, |
Three Months Ended September 30, |
Twelve Months Ended September 30, |
||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Mexican peso | 18.3 | 19.7 | 18.6 | 18.9 | 19.7 | 17.7 | ||||||
| Guatemalan quetzal | 7.5 | 7.6 | 7.6 | 7.6 | 7.6 | 7.6 | ||||||
| Honduran lempira | 25.9 | 24.6 | 25.9 | 24.4 | 25.4 | 24.4 | ||||||
| Australian dollar | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.5 | ||||||
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.
