EZCORP INC 8K

EZCORP reported record Q2 FY2026 results with sharply higher earnings and revenues, boosted by strong pawn demand and the consolidation of newly acquired SMG stores following the January 2, 2026 acquisition of a controlling interest in Founders One, LLC.

EZCORP, Inc. reported record second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results for the period ended March 31, 2026, highlighted by a 93% increase in net income attributable to EZCORP to $49.1 million (adjusted net income up 84% to $46.5 million), an 85% increase in diluted EPS to $0.61 (adjusted $0.58), a 76% rise in adjusted EBITDA to $76.9 million, and a 46% increase in total revenues to $446.9 million, driven by strong pawn demand, higher pawn loans outstanding, improved merchandise and jewelry scrap performance, and the initial consolidation of Simple Management Group following the January 2, 2026 acquisition of a controlling interest in Founders One, LLC. The company expanded its footprint by 123 stores in the quarter, including 117 acquired locations (105 from SMG) and six new stores, and noted a reduction in cash and cash equivalents to $354.2 million primarily due to retiring SMG’s debt and funding acquisitions, while also filing its Form 10-Q and providing forward-looking commentary on continued growth, operational improvements, and disciplined capital allocation.
