EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW ) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call April 29, 2025 9:00 AM ET Company Participants Sean Mansouri - Elevate IR Lachlan Given - Chief Executive Officer Tim Jugmans - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Brian McNamara - Canaccord Genuity Alex Howell - Stephens Inc. Craig Irwin - Roth Capital Partners Operator Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the EZCORP Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Earnings Call.

The headline numbers for Ezcorp (EZPW) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended March 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.

Tariffs and economic indicators suggest the US may face a recession, benefiting pawn shops like EZCORP due to increased demand for alternative financing. During economic downturns, pawn shops thrive as consumers avoid selling equity at a loss and turn to pawning valuable items, especially gold jewelry. EZCORP has a strong financial profile, with 68% of its inventory in jewelry, positioning it well to capitalize on rising gold prices and tighter credit markets.

EZCorp's stock has surged 52.71% since my initial "hold" rating, outperforming the S&P 500, driven by strong financials and expansion in Latin America. The company benefits from economic slowdowns, as more consumers turn to pawn shops for instant cash, boosting loans and inventory sales. Despite a higher EV-to-EBITDA multiple, EZCorp remains attractive due to its solid financial performance and potential gains from economic uncertainty.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EZCORP, Inc. (“EZCORP” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EZPW), a leading provider of pawn transactions in the United States and Latin America, will issue second quarter fiscal 2025 results (period ended March 31, 2025) on Monday, April 28, 2025, after the market close.

EZCORP is poised to benefit from Trump's tariffs, as its pawn brokerage business thrives when lower-income consumers face economic hardships. Tariffs act as regressive taxes, disproportionately affecting lower-income households, potentially driving more consumers to utilize EZCORP's pawn loan services. EZCORP's valuation remains attractive at 11.8x FWD P/E, with its business model being relatively immune to traditional credit risks.
