EZCORP Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW) is a prominent provider of pawn loans in the United States and Mexico, with a significant presence in the short-term consumer loan market in Mexico. Formed in 1989 with just 16 pawn stores, EZCORP has expanded its operations to become a leading player in the industry, now operating over 1,237 stores and employing more than 7,700 team members.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, EZCORP's core business revolves around offering non-recourse pawn loans collateralized by personal property. This allows consumers who are cash and credit constrained to meet their short-term financial needs. The company also engages in the purchase and sale of pre-owned merchandise, often derived from collateral forfeited from pawn lending operations and goods purchased directly from customers.
EZCORP operates through distinct segments: U.S. Pawn, Latin America Pawn, and Other International. The U.S. Pawn segment handles all pawn activities within the United States. The Latin America Pawn segment covers pawn activities in Mexico and other parts of Latin America, including recent expansions in Guatemala.
The company has seen noteworthy achievements and growth, with record revenues and earnings reported in recent quarters. For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, EZCORP posted the highest pawn loan originations (PLO) and total revenues in its history. The company attributes this success to the increased demand driven by a challenging macro-economic environment.
EZCORP is committed to enhancing customer service and operational efficiency by investing in its team members, technology, and process automation. This dedication has been recognized, with the company being named one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2024 by Newsweek.
