EZCORP INC Q3 FY26 Results

This was another outstanding quarter for EZCORP, one of the strongest in our history. PLO reached a new high of $387.2 million, adjusted EBITDA increased 48%, and diluted EPS rose 41%. The gains were well balanced in all of our geographies across lending, merchandise sales and margin, gold scrap and profitability. Importantly, excluding scrap, gross profit increased 32%, underscoring the depth, durability and trajectory of our business. A key highlight for the quarter has been the outstanding performance of our Latin American business, with segment contribution growing 56%, underpinned by excellent operating metrics across all measures. We also expanded our scale in the region, acquiring 33 new stores in Guatemala, furthering our leadership position there, and opened 9 de novo stores. Additionally, shortly after June 30, we acquired all of the remaining minority interests in SMG, which operates 108 stores across 12 countries. Our view on SMG has strengthened further as we see considerable opportunity in introducing EZCORP’s systems, operating disciplines, culture and capital across the platform. We enter the final quarter of fiscal 2026 in a very strong operating and financial position. I am proud of what our team has accomplished so far this year and sincerely thank them for their tireless work in serving our customers with passion, dignity and respect. I look forward to continuing to build value for our shareholders in what has been an exceptionally strong year for our company.
