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 Holdings, 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 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 may include, without limitation, the risks uncertainties and regulatory developments: (1) related to the COVID-19 pandemic,American First Finance (“AFF”) transaction, including the unknown durationfailure of the transaction to deliver the estimated value and severitybenefits expected by the Company, the incurrence of unexpected future costs, liabilities or obligations as a result of the transaction, the effect of the transaction on the ability of the Company to retain and hire personnel and maintain relationships with retail partners, consumers and others with whom the Company and AFF do business; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate AFF’s operations; the ability of the Company to successfully implement its plans, forecasts and other expectations with respect to AFF’s business; risks associated with the legal and regulatory proceedings that the Company is a party to, or may become a party to in the future, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) lawsuit filed against the Company, the putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company, and the California private lawsuits filed against the Company; risks related to the regulatory environment in which the Company operates; general economic risks, including the contributory effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,pandemic; potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for the impact of governmental responses that have been,Company’s pawn loan, retail, lease-to-own and mayretail finance products; labor shortages and increased labor costs; inflation; rising interest rates; a deterioration in the future be, imposedeconomic conditions in response to the pandemic,United States and (2)Latin America which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending; currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso; 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 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, and other reports filed subsequently by the Company 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.

FIRSTCASH HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 - General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020,2021, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include 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 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 audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC on February 1, 2021.28, 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, 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 September 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
On December 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of AFF (the “AFF Acquisition”), which is a leading technology-driven retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions platform primarily focused on providing lease-to-own (“LTO”) products.
The Company has operations in Latin America, where in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia, the functional currency is the Mexican peso, Guatemalan quetzal and Colombian 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
The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. The extent to which COVID-19 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 and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be impacted by variants of the COVID-19 virus and the adoption rate of the COVID-19 vaccines in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the actions taken to contain 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 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.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the consolidated statementsbalance sheets as of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2021 have been reclassified in order to conform to the 20212022 presentation.

Note 3 - Acquisitions
Consistent withAmerican First Finance Acquisition
On December 17, 2021, the Company’s strategyCompany completed the AFF Acquisition. Subsequent to continue its expansionDecember 31, 2021, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of pawn stores$16.9 million. The adjusted purchase price allocation is reflected in strategic markets,the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.
The following table details the preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2021, the measurement period adjustments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022 and the Company acquired 28 pawn stores in the U.S. in 2 separate transactions. The aggregatepreliminary purchase price for these acquisitions totaled $50.7 million, netallocation as of cash acquired andSeptember 30, 2022, subject to future post-closing adjustments. The aggregate purchase price was composed of $48.5 million in cash paid at closing and remaining short-term amounts payable to the sellers of approximately $2.2 million.
The purchase price of each of the 2021 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.
The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, as the Company is gathering information to finalize the valuation of these assets and liabilities.

Note 4 - Operating Leases
Lessor
For information about the Company’s revenue-generating activities as a lessor, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases.
Lessee
The Company leases the majority of its 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 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 ofwas 4.1 years for both September 30, 20212022 and 2020 was 4.1 years.2021.
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 September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 6.3% and 2020 was 6.4% and 7.2%, 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 loss of $0.5$0.4 million and a gain of $0.4$0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, related to the remeasurement of these U.S. dollar denominated operating leases, which is included in loss (gain) loss on foreign exchange in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recognized a foreign currency lossgain of $0.4 million and $3.5a loss of $0.4 million, respectively, related to these U.S. dollar denominated 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 store operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 (in thousands):

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
AsThe Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2021, 20202022 and December 31, 2020,2021 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

The Company revalues the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition is determined by applying a Monte Carlo simulation, which includes inputs not observable in the market, such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected financial forecast of AFF over the earn-out period, and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition.

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 chargesaccounts 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 unsecured credit facilities approximateapproximates fair value as of September 30, 2022, September 30, 2021 2020 and December 31, 2020.2021. 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 LIBORthe prevailing secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or TIIEthe Mexican Central Bank’s interbank equilibrium rate (“TIIE”) and reprice with any changes in LIBORSOFR or TIIE. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Revolving Unsecured Credit Facility
During the period from January 1, 2022 through August 30, 2022, the Company maintained an unsecured line of credit with a group of U.S.-based commercial lenders (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $500.0 million, which was scheduled to mature on December 19, 2024. The Credit Facility charged interest, at the Company’s option, of either (1) the prevailing LIBOR (with interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 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%.
On August 30, 2022, the Credit Facility was amended (the “2022 Amendment”) in order to increase the total lender commitment, extend the term of the Credit Facility, amend certain financial covenants and modify the benchmark interest rate to SOFR. Under the 2022 Amendment, the total lender commitment was increased from $500.0 million to $590.0 million and the term of the Credit Facility was extended to August 30, 2027. In addition, certain financial covenants were amended, as described below.
The financial covenant limiting the domestic leverage ratio was eliminated. The permitted consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for certain customary items as more fully set forth in the Credit Facility (“Adjusted EBITDA”), divided by outstanding consolidated debt), which was previously scheduled to decrease to 3.0 times effective December 31, 2022, will remain at the current level of 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA through December 31, 2023 when it decreases to 3.25 times Adjusted EBITDA through December 31, 2024. The consolidated leverage ratio will revert to the previously scheduled ratio of 3.0 times Adjusted EBITDA effective January 1, 2025. The 2022 Amendment also includes additional limits to certain restricted payments when the consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 3.0 times Adjusted EBITDA, which are more fully described in the 2022 Amendment.
The Credit Facility now bears interest at the Borrower’s option of either (i) the prevailing SOFR (with interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% and a fixed SOFR adjustment of 0.1% or (ii) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $338.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $3.2 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility, leaving $248.8 million available for future borrowings, subject to certain financial covenants. The agreement has an interest rate 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 September 30, 2022 was 5.39% based on 1-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 September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of $79.0 million from borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility.
Revolving Unsecured Uncommitted Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s primary subsidiary in Mexico, First Cash S.A. de C.V., 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 TIIE 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 September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $600.0 million Mexican pesos available for borrowings.
Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2028
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 September 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.8 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.
Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2030
On December 13, 2021, the Company issued $550.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due on January 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), all of which are currently outstanding. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2030 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 2030 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 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 September 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio was 2.8 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 provides 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 utilized the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes to finance the cash consideration and transaction expenses for the AFF Acquisition, including the repayment, in full, of the outstanding debt under AFF’s credit facility at the closing of the AFF Acquisition, payment of fees and expenses related to the note offering and reduction of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.
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.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all of the claims described below, and intends to vigorously defend against such claims. However, legal and regulatory proceedings involve an inherent level of uncertainty and no assurances can be given regarding the ultimate outcome of any such matters or whether an adverse outcome would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred for any of its outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings or estimate a range of loss with respect to such proceeding, if any, and accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s financial statements for legal and regulatory proceedings.
On January 14, 2022, plaintiff Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System filed a putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit (the “Litigation”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and certain of its current officers styled Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System v. FirstCash Holdings, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 4:22-CV-00033-P (N.D. Tex.). The complaint alleges that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements that caused losses to investors, including that the Company failed to disclose in public statements that the Company engaged in widespread and systemic violations of the Military Lending Act (the “MLA”). The Litigation does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, it seeks to recover damages on behalf of the plaintiff and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company stock during the putative class period from February 1, 2018 through November 12, 2021 at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result. On June 8, 2022, the Company and named defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which remains pending.
The Company was named as a nominal defendant and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on July 19, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and styled Treppel Family Trust U/A 08/18/18 Lawrence A. Treppel and Geri D. Treppel for the Benefit of Geri D. Treppel and Larry A. Treppel, Derivatively on Behalf of FirstCash Holdings, Inc., v. Rick L. Wessel, et. al, Case 4:22-cv-00623-P (N.D. Tex). The complaint makes similar allegations as the Litigation and alleges a single count for breach of fiduciary duty against the named derivative defendants. The action does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs and certain equitable relief, the derivative plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company for purported financial harm and to have the court order changes in the Company’s corporate governance.
On November 12, 2021, the CFPB initiated a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against FirstCash, Inc. and Cash America West, Inc., two of the Company’s subsidiaries, alleging violations of the MLA in connection with pawn transactions. The CFPB also alleges that these same alleged violations of the MLA constitute breaches of a 2013 CFPB consent order entered into by its predecessor company that, among other things, allegedly required the company and its successors to cease and desist from further MLA violations. The CFPB is seeking an injunction, redress for affected borrowers and a civil monetary penalty. On March 28, 2022, the CFPB filed a motion to strike certain affirmative defenses of the Company, which motion remains pending. On April 27, 2022, the Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment, which remains pending. On October 24, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit due to the funding structure of the CFPB, which the motion alleges is unconstitutional. This motion to dismiss follows the recent decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, where the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas sits, finding that the CFPB is unconstitutionally structured. The motion to dismiss remains pending.
On November 7, 2018, plaintiffs Maria Andrade and Shaun Caulkins filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF alleging that AFF is an unlicensed lender that made usurious loans through certain California merchants in violation of California law. Caulkins was dismissed on October 14, 2020, and the Court denied class certification in September 2022. The case is scheduled to proceed to trial on an individual basis on February 21, 2023. In addition to money damages, including disgorgement of all amounts paid to AFF, actual and statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees, Andrade seeks to enjoin AFF from servicing California customers under its current practices.
On October 20, 2021, plaintiff Larry Facio filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against AFF alleging that AFF partnered with California merchants to deceive California customers into taking out usurious loans made from AFF, an unlicensed lender. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, class certification, a declaration that AFF’s security agreements are subject to the California Finance Lenders Law and that no person has a right to collect or receive principal or payments, restitution for all amounts collected from class members, actual damages, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees. On May 5, 2022, the court granted AFF’s motion to compel arbitration, and the case is currently stayed, pending arbitration. At this time, Mr. Facio has not yet elected to pursue his claims through arbitration.

As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses increaseddecreased from 7% during the third quarter of 2020 to 8% during the third quarter of 2021.2021 to 5% during the third quarter of 2022.
InterestCorporate depreciation and amortization expense increased 21%1,438% to $8.0$14.8 million during the third quarter of 20212022 compared to $6.6$1.0 million in the third quarter of 2020,2021, primarily due to an increase$14.2 million in the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured notes and higher average balances outstanding on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities, partially offset by lower weighted-average interest rates on the Company’s debtamortization expense during the third quarter of 2021 compared2022 related to identified intangible assets in the third quarter of 2020. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”AFF Acquisition.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company redeemed its outstanding $300.0 million, 5.375% senior notes due 2024, incurring a loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.7 million, which includes an early redemption premium and other redemption costs of $8.8 million and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.9 million.
Consolidated effective income tax rates for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 were 24.6% and 14.8%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Internal Revenue Service finalizing regulations in July 2020 for the global intangible low-taxed income tax (“GILTI”) provisions for foreign operations in the U.S. federal tax code. The finalized
regulations essentially eliminatedInterest expense increased 130% to $18.3 million during the impactthird quarter of the incremental GILTI tax on the Company on a retroactive basis, which resulted in a significant tax benefit being recorded2022 compared to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. This2021, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s outstanding senior unsecured notes and higher interest rates and higher average balances outstanding on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
The Company revalues the contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition to fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized a gain of $19.8 million during the third quarter of 2022 as a result of a decrease in the liability for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition. The contingent consideration is primarily based on AFF’s achievement of certain EBITDA targets by the end of 2022 and in the first half of 2023. Additionally, a portion of the contingent consideration consisted of a potential payment of up to $75.0 million to the seller parties in the event that the highest average stock price of the Company for any 10-day period from December 6, 2021 through February 28, 2023 was partially offset byless than $86.25. As a result of an increase in the Company’s stock price subsequent to September 30, 2022, no such contingent payment to the seller parties is required. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consolidated effective income tax rates for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 were 21.3% and 24.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in U.S. sourced income, primarily a result of the AFF Acquisition, which is taxed at a lower rate than the Latin American countries the Company operates in, and an increased foreign permanent tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, related to an increased inflation index adjustment allowed in Mexico as a result of elevated inflation in Mexico, which started during the latter half of 2021. In addition, the Company recognized a $1.0 million permanent domestic tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 related to the $19.8 million gain on revaluation of certain contingent consideration related to the AFF Acquisition as described above.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
The Company remainsCompany’s pawn, LTO and retail finance businesses are 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 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC on February 1, 2021. 28, 2022 and in subsequent filings on Form 10-Q.
There have been no other material changes in regulatory developments directly affecting the Company since December 31, 2020.
On March 23, 2021, the governor of Illinois signed into law the Predatory Loan Prevention Act (“PLPA”) that caps annual effective interest rates at 36% on most consumer loans, including payday and car title loans. The Company does not believe the PLPA applies to collateralized pawn loans, and on May 19, 2021, along with the Illinois Pawnbrokers Association and other Illinois pawn industry plaintiffs, filed a complaint for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief in Illinois Circuit Court to prevent enforcement of the PLPA against pawn transactions primarily on the grounds that the PLPA does not apply to pawn transactions (the “Petition”). On September 7, 2021, the court granted the Petition and ordered a preliminary injunction. The Illinois consumer finance regulator did not appeal the court’s decision within the permitted timeframe, and therefore the injunction against the PLPA’s application to pawn transactions will remain in effect until any further action on the Petition.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, adjusted retail POS payment solutions segment metrics 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 titledsimilarly-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 acquisition expenses, including the Company’s transaction expenses incurred in connection with its acquisition of AFF and the impacts of purchase accounting with respect to the AFF acquisition, in order to allow more accurate comparisons of the financial results to prior periods. In addition, the Company does not consider these merger and 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 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 mergerMerger in 2016, the Company recorded certain lease intangibles related to aboveabove- or below marketbelow-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-offwritten 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 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.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.

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 an additional measuremeasures 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):

Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment Purchase Accounting Adjustments
Management believes the presentation of certain retail POS payment solutions segment metrics adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of AFF’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, which management believes is non-operating in nature and not representative of AFF’s core operating performance. See the retail POS payment solutions segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional reconciliation of certain amounts adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting to as reported GAAP amounts.
Additionally, the following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated total revenue presented in accordance with GAAP to adjusted total revenue, which excludes the impacts of purchase accounting (in thousands):

See the retail POS payment solutions segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional segment level reconciliations.
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, which are primarily transacted in local currencies.
The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America, 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. Business operations in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia are transacted in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and Colombian pesos. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. See the Latin America operationspawn segment tables in “Results of Operations” above for additional reconciliation of certain constant currency amounts to as reported GAAP amounts.
