CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Forward-Looking Information

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

While the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders are cautioned such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report. Such factors may include, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and regulatory developments (1) related to the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~which include risks~~including the unknown duration and ~~uncertainties related to the current unknown duration~~severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be impacted by variants of the COVID-19 virus and the timing, availability and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the impact of governmental responses that have been, and may in the future be, imposed in response to the pandemic, including stimulus programs which could adversely impact lending demand and regulations which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to fully operate, potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for both the Company’s pawn loan and retail products, ~~the deterioration~~changes in the economic conditions in the United States and Latin America, which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending or impact demand for pawn loan products, and currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso and (2) those discussed and described in the Company’s ~~2019 annual report~~most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) ~~on February 3, 2020,~~, including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, and other reports filed subsequently by the Company with the ~~SEC, including the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 27, 2020.~~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, ~~2019,~~2020, which is derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of FirstCash, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). The Company regularly makes acquisitions and the results of operations for the acquired stores have been consolidated since the acquisition dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s ~~annual report~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February ~~3, 2020.~~1, 2021. The consolidated financial statements as of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ and for the three month ~~and six month~~ periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ 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~~period ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

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

Continuing Impact of COVID-19

~~In December 2019, a novel strain~~The onset of ~~coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced~~COVID-19 in ~~China, which has~~March 2020 in the U.S. and ~~is continuing to spread throughout~~shortly thereafter in Latin America significantly impacted the ~~world. In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The global impact of the pandemic has been rapidly evolving,~~Company’s operations and ~~many~~earnings results. Most countries, states and other local government officials ~~have~~ reacted by instituting quarantines, shelter-in-place and other orders mandating non-essential business closures, travel restrictions and ~~restricting travel~~other measures in an effort to reduce the spread of ~~COVID-19, as well as instituting broad based stimulus packages in an effort to limit the resulting economic impact.~~

COVID-19. The Company’s business depends heavily on the uninterrupted operation of its stores. In most jurisdictions where the Company has stores, pawnshops have been designated an essential service by federal guidelines and/or local regulations and remained open during the second quarter with enhanced safety protocols. However, retail sales in all of the Company’s stores in Mexico were prohibited by regulators during the last three weeks of May, all 13 stores in El Salvador were closed from late March through the end of May and all 13 stores in Colombia were closed from late March through various dates in June and early July as a result of broad government imposed lock-downs.

As most of the Company’s pawn stores were able to remain open as an essential business, retail sales benefited from strong demand for stay-at-home products such as consumer electronics, tools and sporting goods. Retail sales in the U.S. were further enhanced by federal stimulus payments, which drove additional demand across most categories including jewelry. These positive impacts on retail sales in Latin America were largely offset by the three-week regulatory prohibition of retail transactions in Mexico and the closures of stores in El Salvador and Colombia.

~~Conversely, pawn lending activities declined in the U.S. and Latin America due to an increase in pawn loan redemptions and a decrease in pawn loan originations, which the Company attributes to~~measures significantly reduced normal levels of ~~personal~~consumer spending, ~~due to broad shutdowns of the economy as a result of COVID-19. Pawn loan balances were further impacted in the U.S. by federal~~and combined with broad-based stimulus ~~payments, forbearance~~ programs and enhanced unemployment benefits ~~and~~ in ~~Latin America by increased cross-border remittance payments from~~ the U.S. ~~The resulting impact~~, provided significant and unprecedented liquidity to many of the ~~lower~~Company’s customers, which greatly suppressed normal demand for pawn ~~loan balances was a negative impact to~~loans which, in turn, reduced volumes of inventory acquired from forfeited pawn ~~loan fee revenue during the quarter.~~loans.



~~Table of Contents~~

In addition, the economic global uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 has resulted in increased currency volatility that has resulted in adverse currency rate fluctuations, especially with respect to the Mexican peso.

The extent to which COVID-19 ~~impacts~~continues to impact the Company’s operations, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the unknown duration ~~severity~~ and ~~scope~~severity of the ~~outbreak,~~COVID-19 pandemic, which may be impacted by variants of the COVID-19 virus and the timing, availability and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the actions taken to contain ~~its~~the impact of COVID-19, as well as further actions taken to limit the resulting economic impact. In particular, government stimulus and other transfer programs have and may continue to have a material adverse impact ~~among others.~~on demand for pawn loans in future periods.

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. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operations, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, including estimates and assumptions used by the Company in the calculation and evaluation of the accrual for earned but uncollected pawn loan fees, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, will depend on future

developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the unknown duration ~~severity~~ and ~~scope~~severity of the ~~outbreak,~~COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain its impact, as well as actions taken to limit the resulting economic impact, among others. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future reporting periods.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2021 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2018-19”) which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2019-04”) which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses. In May 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief ” (“ASU 2019-05”) which provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2019-11”), which provides guidance around how to report expected recoveries. In February 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2020-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2020-02”) which provides updated guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments and delayed the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13, ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 (collectively, “ASC 326”) are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on the Company’s recognition of financial instruments within the scope of the standard.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be adopted on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.



~~Table of Contents~~

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The ~~Company does not expect~~adoption of ASU 2019-12 ~~to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.~~

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2020-03”). ASU 2020-03 improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics. ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The Company adopted ASU 2020-03 upon issuance, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

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

~~Note 3 - Acquisitions~~

Consistent with the Company’s strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in selected markets, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company acquired 40 pawn stores in Mexico in 2 separate transactions. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled $6.7 million, net of cash acquired and subject to future post-closing adjustments. The aggregate purchase price was composed of $5.5 million in cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and remaining short-term amounts payable to the seller of approximately $1.2 million.

The purchase price of each of the 2020 acquisitions was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market 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. These acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 43 - Operating Leases

The Company leases the majority of its pawnshop locations under operating leases and determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Many leases include both lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for 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 as of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 4.1 years and ~~2019 was~~ 3.9 ~~years.~~years, respectively.

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,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 6.7% and ~~2019 was 7.6% and 7.4%~~7.8%, 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~~loss of ~~$0.4~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.2~~$4.4 million during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively, related to the remeasurement of these U.S. dollar denominated operating leases, which is included in ~~(gain)~~ loss on foreign exchange in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. ~~During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized a foreign currency loss of $3.9 million and a gain of $0.5 million, respectively.~~

Note 65 - 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

As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, 2020 ~~2019~~ and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

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. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $1.9 million impairment related to a non-financial, non-operating asset that was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

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 fees and service charges receivable approximate fair value. Consumer loans, net are carried net of the allowance for estimated loan losses, which is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. Therefore, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

The carrying value of the unsecured credit facilities approximate fair value as of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, 2020 ~~2019~~ and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The fair value of the unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on market values for debt issuances with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. In addition, the unsecured credit facilities have a variable interest rate based on a fixed spread over LIBOR or TIIE and reprice with any changes in LIBOR or TIIE. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Pawn operations, which include retail merchandise sales, pawn loan fees and wholesale scrap jewelry sales, accounted for more than 99% and approximately 98% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during the six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Effective June 30, 2020, the Company ceased offering domestic payday and installment loans and no longer has any unsecured consumer lending or credit services operations in the U.S. or Latin America. See “Results of Operations - Consumer Lending Operations” for further discussion. Consumer loan and credit services revenue accounted for less than 1% and approximately 2% of consolidated revenue during the six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company organizes its operations into two reportable segments. The U.S. operations segment consists of all operations in the U.S. and the Latin America operations segment consists of all operations in ~~Latin America, which includes operations in~~ Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and El ~~Salvador and Colombia.~~Salvador.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited)

Continuing Impact of COVID-19

The onset of COVID-19 in March 2020 in the U.S. and shortly thereafter in Latin America significantly impacted the Company’s operations and earnings results. Most countries, states and other local government officials reacted by instituting quarantines, shelter-in-place and other orders mandating non-essential business closures, travel restrictions and other measures in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures significantly reduced normal levels of consumer spending, and combined with broad-based stimulus programs and enhanced unemployment benefits in the U.S., provided significant and unprecedented liquidity to many of the Company’s customers, which greatly suppressed normal demand for pawn loans beginning in the second quarter of 2020. As the broad shutdowns in response to COVID-19 began to ease late in the second half of 2020, pawn lending activity began to slowly recover. Even so, resulting pawn balances at December 31, 2020 were still down 17% compared to the prior year end.

During the first quarter of 2021, two additional federal stimulus payments in the U.S. caused further declines in U.S. pawn lending demand while pawn lending activity in Latin America continued recovering to near pre-pandemic levels given the limited government stimulus programs in the region. As of March 31, 2021, consolidated pawn loan balances were still down 16% compared to the prior-year quarter. Resulting pawn loan fees were negatively impacted during the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the lower pawn loan balances.

In most markets where the Company operates, pawnshops were designated as “essential businesses” and remained open during the broad shutdowns in response to COVID-19. As a result, the Company experienced strong customer demand for “stay-at-home” products such as consumer electronics and sporting goods. In addition, federal stimulus payments to consumers in the U.S. during 2020 also drove retail demand for most products. However, the increased retail volumes and less forfeited inventory from lower pawn receivables negatively impacted inventory balances in the second half of 2020. Resulting inventory balances at December ~~2019,~~31, 2020 were down 28% compared to the prior year end. The lower beginning inventory levels negatively impacted retail sales during the first quarter of 2021 but were partially offset by additional retail demand in the U.S. as a ~~novel strain~~result of ~~coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced~~the enhanced consumer liquidity caused by the two additional federal stimulus payments during the first quarter of 2021. In addition, retail sales margins increased significantly during the first quarter of 2021 in ~~China,~~both the U.S. and Latin America compared to the prior-year quarter as a result of continued retail demand for value-priced pre-owned merchandise, increased buying of merchandise directly from customers and lower levels of aged inventory, all of which ~~has and is continuing to spread throughout~~limited the ~~world. In March~~need for normal discounting. Resulting gross profit from retail sales for the first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021 increased 3% over the ~~World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic.~~ prior-year quarter.

The health and safety of customers and employees of the Company are of the utmost importance. The operation of the Company’s stores is critically dependent on the ability of customers and employees to safely conduct transactions in each location. The Company has taken, and will continue to take, precautionary measures in accordance with the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Controlimpact. In particular, government stimulus and other ~~federal, state~~transfer programs have and ~~local authorities. This includes the adoption of strict social distancing and hygiene protocols within all of the Company’s store locations and corporate offices intended~~may continue to help minimize the risk of COVID-19 to its customers and employees. Also, in an effort to improve social distancing, the Company has temporarily allowed the majority of its work force at its corporate offices to work remotely.

The global impact of the pandemic has been rapidly evolving, and many countries, states and other local government officials have reacted by instituting quarantines, shelter-in-place and other orders mandating non-essential business closures and restricting travel. The Company’s business depends heavily on the uninterrupted operation of its stores. All of the U.S. stores are currently operating at this time and the Company is not aware of any state or local jurisdictions that have determined its stores to be non-essential. In Latin America, almost all stores are currently operating as well. However, there can be no assurance that pawnshops will remain designated as an essential service or that government officials will not expand business closures to include pawnshops, which would have a material adverse ~~effect~~impact on ~~the Company’s operations and financial condition.~~

In addition, consumer fears about becoming ill with COVID-19 may continue, and consumer behavior may change as a result of COVID-19, which could materially and adversely affect traffic to the Company’s stores. Consumer spending and loan demand generally may also be impacted by general macroeconomic conditions and consumer confidence, including the impacts of any recession and other uncertainties from the effects of government stimulus programs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The economic global uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 has also resulted in increased currency volatility that has resulted in adverse currency rate fluctuations, especially with respect to the Mexican peso. There is no guarantee these adverse currency rate fluctuations will not continue or accelerate in the future.

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation makes it nearly impossible to predict the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and operations. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents a material uncertainty which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future.

~~Second Quarter Overview and Trends~~

In most jurisdictions where the Company has stores, pawnshops were designated by federal guidelines and/or local regulations as providers of essential services and remained open during the second quarter with enhanced safety protocols. However, retail sales in all of the Company’s stores in Mexico were prohibited by regulators during the last three weeks of May, all 13 stores in El Salvador were closed from late March through the end of May and all 13 stores in Colombia were closed from late March through various dates in June and early July as a result of broad government imposed lock-downs.

~~As most of the Company’s pawn stores were able to remain open as an essential business, retail sales benefited from strong~~ demand for ~~stay-at-home products such as consumer electronics, tools and sporting goods. Retail sales~~pawn loans in the U.S. were further enhanced by federal stimulus payments, which drove additional demand across most categories including jewelry. The positive impacts on retail sales in Latin America were largely offset by the three-week regulatory prohibition of retail transactions in Mexico and the closures of stores in El Salvador and Colombia.future periods.

Conversely, pawn lending activities declined in the U.S. and Latin America due to an increase in pawn loan redemptions and a decrease in pawn loan originations, which the Company attributes to significantly reduced levels of personal spending due to broad shutdowns of the economy as a result of COVID-19. Pawn loan balances in the U.S. were further impacted by federal stimulus payments, forbearance programs and enhanced unemployment benefits, and in Latin America by increased cross-border remittance payments from the U.S. The resulting impact of the lower pawn loan balances was a negative impact to pawn loan fee revenue during the quarter.

Constant Currency Results

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

Business operations in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia are transacted in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and Colombian ~~pesos, respectively.~~pesos.

Retail Merchandise Sales Operations

U.S. retail merchandise sales ~~increased 24%~~decreased 3% to ~~$208.9~~$190.0 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$168.9~~$196.0 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Same-store retail sales ~~also increased 24%~~decreased 5% in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019. The increase~~2020. Offsetting the small decline in ~~total and same-store~~ retail sales was primarily due to the designation of the U.S. stores as essential businesses, allowing the stores to remain open during the quarter and offer popular stay-at-home products such as, laptops, tablets, monitors, gaming systems and sporting goods. Retail sales in the U.S. were further enhanced by federal stimulus payments, which drove demand across all inventory categories including higher margin jewelry sales. During the second quarter of 2020,revenue, the gross profit margin on retail merchandise sales in the U.S. was ~~42%~~44% during the first quarter of 2021 compared to a margin of ~~38%~~39% during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, which resulted in a ~~36%~~9% increase in net revenue (gross profit) from retail sales for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. The increase in ~~retail sales~~ margin was primarily ~~driven by~~a result of continued retail demand for value-priced pre-owned merchandise, increased buying of merchandise directly from customers and lower levels of aged inventory, ~~and~~which limited the need for ~~discounting merchandise given strong retail demand.~~normal discounting.

U.S. inventories decreased ~~30%~~21% from ~~$172.9~~$162.1 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 to ~~$120.4~~$128.3 million at ~~June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily a result of the increase in retail sales as noted above and the decline in pawn receivable balances creating less forfeited inventory as noted below.~~March 31, 2021. Inventories aged greater than one year in the U.S. were 2% at March 31, 2021 compared to 3% at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2020. The decrease in inventories was primarily a result of significantly lower than normal beginning inventory levels, less inventory being generated from forfeited pawn loans and additional retail demand created by two additional federal stimulus payments made directly to consumers, partially offset by an increase in merchandise purchased directly from customers during the quarter compared to ~~4% at June 30, 2019.~~the prior-year quarter.

Pawn Lending Operations

U.S. pawn loan fees decreased ~~20%~~22% to ~~$71.9~~$76.4 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$90.1~~$97.9 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Same-store pawn fees in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020 also~~2021 decreased ~~20%~~23% compared to the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Pawn loan receivables as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 decreased ~~40%~~24% in total and 25% on a same-store basis compared to ~~June 30, 2019.~~ March 31, 2020.

The decline in total and same-store pawn receivables and resulting pawn loan fees was primarily due to the significantly lower than normal beginning pawn loan levels and reduced origination activity during the first quarter of 2021 as a result of improved customer liquidity due to ~~reduced levels of personal spending during~~ the ~~quarter as a result of quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and non-essential business closures due to COVID-19. Customer liquidity was also enhanced by federal~~two additional government stimulus payments forbearance programs and enhanced unemployment benefits. The decline in pawn fee revenue was less than the decline in pawn loan balances, reflecting elevated collections of fees and principal on loans outstanding at the beginning of the quarter and a smaller percentage of forfeited loansmade during the quarter.

Wholesale Scrap Jewelry Operations

U.S. wholesale scrap jewelry revenue, consisting primarily of gold sales, decreased ~~39%~~41% to ~~$9.6~~$9.2 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$15.8~~$15.5 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. The decline in scrap revenue relates primarily to reductions in inventory levels as discussed above. The scrap jewelry gross profit margin in the U.S. was ~~12%~~18% compared to the prior-year margin of ~~6%. The~~10%, with the increase in scrap margin ~~was~~ primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of gold during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~2019.~~2020.

~~Consumer Lending Operations~~

The Company ceased offering unsecured consumer lending and credit services products (collectively, consumer lending operations), including all payday and installment loans, in the U.S. effective June 30, 2020. Service fees from U.S. consumer lending operations decreased 89% to $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net revenue (gross profit) from U.S. consumer lending operations decreased 79% to $0.8 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. Revenue and gross profit from consumer lending operations accounted for less than 1% of both total U.S. revenue and gross profit during the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2% during the second quarter of 2019.

Segment Expenses and Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

U.S. store operating expenses ~~were flat at $103.3~~decreased 12% to $95.2 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$103.0~~$107.7 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and same-store operating expenses ~~increased 3%~~also decreased 12% compared with the prior-year period.

Inventories in Latin America decreased ~~36% (24%~~13% (23% on a constant currency basis) from ~~$93.6~~$65.7 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 to ~~$59.6~~$57.0 million at ~~June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in pawn receivable balances creating less forfeited inventory as noted below and an increase in scrapping activities.~~March 31, 2021. Inventories aged greater than one year in Latin America were 2% at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and 1% at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

The decrease in inventories, which limited retail sales during the first quarter, was primarily a result of significantly lower than normal beginning inventory levels and less inventory being generated from forfeited pawn loans partially offset by an increase in merchandise purchased directly from customers during the quarter compared to the prior-year quarter. The lower retail sales volume was partially offset by an increase in retail sales margin, which was primarily a result of continued retail demand for value-priced pre-owned merchandise and increased buying of merchandise directly from customers, which limited the need for normal discounting.

Pawn Lending Operations

Pawn loan fees in Latin America decreased ~~36% (22%~~12% (10% on a constant currency basis), totaling ~~$30.1~~$39.1 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$46.8~~$44.3 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

The decline in total and same-store constant currency pawn receivables and resulting pawn loan fees was primarily due to ~~improved customer liquidity resulting from reduced~~the significantly lower than normal beginning pawn loan levels, partially offset by the continued improvement of ~~personal spending~~pawn loan origination activity during the first quarter ~~as a result~~ of quarantines, shelter-in-place and other orders mandating non-essential business closures in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. While there were limited government stimulus programs in the region in response to the pandemic, an increase in cross-border remittance payments from the U.S. also provided additional liquidity to consumers.2021.

Segment Expenses and Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income

Store operating expenses decreased ~~17% (1%~~8% (6% on a constant currency basis) to ~~$37.7~~$42.1 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$45.3~~$45.8 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Total store operating expenses decreased primarily due to cost saving initiatives ~~as a result of~~in response to COVID-19, partially offset by the 8%3% increase in the Latin America weighted-average store count. Same-store operating expenses decreased ~~21% (6%~~11% (9% on a constant currency basis) ~~compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to cost saving initiatives as a result of COVID-19.~~.

Latin America store depreciation and amortization increased ~~1% (20%~~5% (7% on a constant currency basis) to ~~$3.6~~$4.3 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$3.6~~$4.1 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, primarily due to the increase in the store count.

The segment pre-tax operating income for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$20.6~~$25.7 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of ~~17%~~19% compared to ~~$36.2~~$32.0 million and ~~22%~~21% in the prior year, respectively. The decline in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin was primarily due to declines in retail sales and pawn loan fees ~~in part due to the 23%~~and a 2% unfavorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso, partially offset by an increase in ~~gross profit from scrapping activities~~retail sales margins and declines in store operating expenses.

The increase in retail sales and retail sales margin was primarily driven by the impacts of COVID-19 during the second quarter as described in the quarter-to-date section above.

~~Pawn Lending Operations~~

U.S. pawn loan fees decreased 10%, totaling $169.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $188.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Pawn loan receivables as of June 30, 2020 decreased 40% in total and on a same-store basis compared to June 30, 2019. The decline in total and same-store pawn receivables and pawn fees relates primarily to the impacts of COVID-19 during the second quarter as described in the quarter-to-date section above.

~~Wholesale Scrap Jewelry Operations~~

U.S. wholesale scrap jewelry revenue, consisting primarily of gold sales, decreased 35% to $25.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $38.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in scrap revenue relates primarily to reductions in inventory levels as discussed in the quarter-to-date section above. The scrap jewelry gross profit margin in the U.S. was 10% compared to the prior-year margin of 6%. The increase in scrap margin was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of gold during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019.

~~U.S. store depreciation and amortization increased 6% to $11.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.~~

The U.S. segment pre-tax operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $116.6 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 19% compared to $118.8 million and 20% in the prior year, respectively.

~~Latin America Operations Segment~~

Latin American results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 were impacted by a 13% unfavorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar.

Same-store retail sales decreased 18% (8% on a constant currency basis).

The decline in total and same-store pawn receivables and resulting pawn loan fees was primarily due to reduced levels of personal spending during the second quarter as a result of quarantines, shelter-in-place and other orders mandating non-essential business closures in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and an increase in cross-border remittance payments from the U.S.

~~Wholesale Scrap Jewelry Operations~~

Latin America wholesale scrap jewelry revenue, consisting primarily of gold sales, increased 33% (also 33% on a constant currency basis) to $24.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $18.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased volume contributions from recently acquired stores which carried a greater percentage of jewelry inventories, as well as an increase in general scrapping activities during the second quarter as a result of retail restrictions related to COVID-19. The scrap jewelry gross profit margin in Latin America was 22% (13% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year loss of less than 1%. The increase in scrap margin was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of gold during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

~~Segment Expenses and Segment Pre-Tax Operating Income~~

Store operating expenses decreased 5% (5% increase on a constant currency basis) to $83.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $88.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Same-store operating expenses decreased 12% (2% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to cost saving initiatives as a result of COVID-19.

The segment pre-tax operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $52.6 million, which generated a pre-tax segment operating margin of 19% compared to $68.9 million and 22% in the prior year, respectively. The decline in the segment pre-tax operating income and margin was primarily due to declines in retail sales and pawn loan fees, an increase in depreciation and amortization and a 13% unfavorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso, partially offset by an increase in gross profit from scrapping activities and declines in store operating expenses.

~~Consolidated Results of Operations~~

The following table reconciles pre-tax operating income of the Company’s U.S. operations segment and Latin America operations segment discussed above to consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

~~Corporate Expenses and Taxes~~

Administrative expenses decreased 4% to $61.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $63.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a 13% unfavorable change in the average value of the Mexican peso resulting in lower U.S. dollar translated expenses, partially offset by a 4% increase in the consolidated weighted-average store count, resulting in additional management and supervisory compensation and other support expenses required for such growth. Administrative expenses were 7% of revenue during both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Interest expense decreased 9% to $15.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower average balances outstanding on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities and lower average interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

The loss on foreign exchange increased to $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a gain of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The loss was due to the significant unfavorable change in the end-of-period value of the Mexican peso compared to the U.S. dollar as discussed above, impacting the remeasurement of U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in Mexico.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $3.8 million write-off of certain merger related lease intangibles and a $1.9 million impairment of other assets. The lease intangibles, which subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842 are included in the operating lease right of use asset on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements), were recorded in conjunction with the Cash America merger in 2016 and were written-off as a result of the Company purchasing the store real estate from the landlords of certain existing legacy Cash America stores. The $1.9 million impairment related to a non-operating asset in which the Company determined that an other than temporary impairment existed as of March 31, 2020.

~~Consolidated effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 29.1% and 27.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was due in part to an increase in~~essentially eliminated the impact of ~~certain non-deductible expenses resulting from~~ the ~~Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and to~~incremental GILTI tax on the ~~establishment of a valuation allowance for net operating losses of a foreign subsidiary during the second quarter of 2020.~~Company.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company made net payments of ~~$135.0~~$79.0 million pursuant to the Credit Facility.

~~During~~As of March ~~2020,~~31, 2021, the Company’s primary subsidiary in Mexico, First Cash S.A. de C.V., ~~entered into~~maintained an unsecured and uncommitted line of credit guaranteed by FirstCash, Inc. with a bank in Mexico (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $600.0 million Mexican pesos. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at the Mexican Central Bank’s interbank equilibrium rate plus a fixed spread of 2.5% and matures on March 9, 2023. Under the terms of the Mexico Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Mexico Credit Facility as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $600.0 million Mexican pesos available for borrowings.

The Company regularly evaluates opportunities to optimize its capital structure, including through consideration of the issuance of debt or equity, ~~to refinance~~the refinancing, repayment or restructuring of existing debt and ~~to enter~~the entry into interest rate hedge transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements, to fund ongoing cash needs, such as general corporate purposes, growth initiatives and its dividend and stock repurchase program.

The ~~rapid development~~continued developments and fluidity of the COVID-19 ~~situation makes~~pandemic make it difficult to predict the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s liquidity and presents a material uncertainty which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future. The Company’s cash flows depend heavily on the uninterrupted operation of its stores with sufficient customer ~~activity.~~activity, as the Company does not currently offer an online pawn lending or payment platform. If the ~~Company’s pawnshops were deemed non-essential and~~Company became subject to closure or customer demand for the Company’s retail and lending products materially declines, the Company’s cash flows would be materially impaired and the Company could seek to raise or retain additional funds from a variety of sources, including but not limited to, repatriation of excess cash held in Latin America, the sale of assets, reductions in operating expenses, capital expenditures, dividends and ~~dividends,~~share repurchases, the forbearance or deferral of operating expenses, the issuance of debt or equity securities, leveraging currently unencumbered real estate owned by the Company and/or changes to its management of current assets. The characteristics of the Company’s current assets, specifically the ability to rapidly liquidate gold jewelry inventory, which accounts for approximately ~~54%~~52% of total inventory, gives the Company flexibility to quickly increase cash flow, if necessary.

Other factors such as changes in general customer traffic and demand, loan balances, loan-to-value ratios, collection of pawn fees, merchandise sales, inventory levels, seasonality, operating expenses, administrative expenses, expenses related to merger and acquisition activities, tax rates, gold prices, foreign currency exchange rates and the pace of new store expansion and acquisitions, affect the Company’s liquidity. Regulatory developments affecting the Company’s operations may also impact profitability and liquidity. See “Regulatory Developments.” Further, deteriorating economic conditions globally have created a challenging environment for financing and could create uncertainty regarding the availability of credit on acceptable terms in the event the Company needed to amend its financial debt covenants or seek additional external financing. A prolonged reduction in earnings and EBITDA could limit the Company’s future ability to fully borrow under its ~~lines of~~ credit facilities under ~~its~~ current leverage covenants. ~~The combination of~~Additionally, potential disruptions to the Company’s business resulting from COVID-19 ~~and volatile credit markets~~ could adversely impact the Company’s liquidity in the future.

The Company intends to continue expansion through new store openings ~~originally expecting~~primarily in Latin America and through acquisitions both in the U.S. and Latin America. Additionally, as opportunities arise at reasonable valuations, the Company may continue to ~~add approximately 90~~purchase real estate from its landlords at existing stores or ~~more~~in conjunction with pawn store acquisitions.

A total of 24 new stores were opened during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The impacts of COVID-19 will likely limit the number of 2021 openings to a total of 50 to 60 de novo full-service pawn locations in ~~2020, all in~~ Latin America. A total of 51 stores were opened during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and there is a pipeline of new stores under lease and in development. While the Company is currently on pace to meet its full-year target, futureFuture store openings ~~are~~remain subject to uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to, the ability to continue construction projects and obtain necessary licenses and permits, utility services, store equipment, supplies and staffing. ~~These uncertainties make it impractical at this time~~

The Company continually looks for, and is presented with, potential acquisition opportunities and will evaluate potential acquisitions based upon growth potential, purchase price, available liquidity, debt covenant restrictions, strategic fit and quality of management personnel, among other factors. The Company acquired two pawn stores in the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for a purchase price of $1.3 million, net of cash acquired and subject to ~~estimate the number of de novo stores~~future post-closing adjustments. In addition, the Company ~~will actually open and~~purchased the ~~total purchases~~real estate at 12 store locations, primarily from landlords at existing stores, for a cumulative purchase price of ~~furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements for 2020.~~$14.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

The Company ceased offering unsecured consumer lending and credit services products, including all payday and installment loans, in the U.S. Effective June 30, 2020, the Company no longer has any unsecured consumer lending or credit services operations in the U.S. or Latin America. The Company remains subject to significant regulation of its pawn and general business operations 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 ~~2019 annual report~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February ~~3, 2020. Other than as described below, there~~1, 2021. There have been no material changes in regulatory developments directly affecting the Company since December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In January 2021, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Predatory Loan Prevention Act (“PDLA”) that caps annual effective interest rates at 36% on most consumer loans, including payday and car title loans. On ~~July 7, 2020,~~March 23, 2021, the ~~Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) published revisions~~governor of Illinois signed the PDLA into law, making it effective immediately. The Company does not believe the PDLA applies to ~~its regulation on payday, vehicle title, and certain small-dollar loans originally issued in 2017. Traditional possessory, non-recourse~~collateralized pawn loans, ~~were not covered under~~and to date no effort has been made by regulators to assert that it applies. However, there can be no assurance that the ~~CFPB’s original 2017 regulation and remain excluded under~~Illinois authorities or other interested stakeholders will in the ~~revised regulation.~~future interpret the PDLA to include collateralized pawn loans. The Company had 25 pawn stores located in Illinois as of March 31, 2021.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

In conjunction with the Cash America merger in 2016, the Company recorded certain lease intangibles related to above or below market lease liabilities of Cash America which are included in the operating lease right of use asset on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company continues to opportunistically purchase real estate from landlords at certain Cash America stores, the associated lease intangible, if any, is written-off and gain or loss is recognized. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these gains or losses given the variability in size and timing of these transactions and because they are non-cash, non-operating gains or losses. The Company believes this improves comparability of operating results for current periods ~~due to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019.~~

presented with prior periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding items that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance of its continuing operations. 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.

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 in the calculation of the Net Debt Ratio as defined in the Company’s senior unsecured notes covenants. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (dollars in thousands):
