We allocate capital to opportunities assuring any resulting ROIC significantly exceeds our WACC, to drive EPS accretion.

We serve a large market…

19% of U.S. households are underbanked (~24 million households)A Supplement their bank account with alternative financial services 7% of U.S. households are unbanked (~8 million households) A Don’t have a bank account 63% of Mexico population (~60 million people) and 45% of the remainder of LatAm population are unbankedB

The opportunity is larger…

In addition to underbanked and unbanked households: There are many others who are “cash and credit constrained” attributable to psychographic attitudes, aspirations, and other psychological criteria The “cash and credit constrained consumer” has inadequate access to cash or credit to satisfy basic needs (and / or wants) at a particular point in time We estimate ~one-third of U.S. Households are “cash and credit constrained” and larger in Latin America

  • efficiency. It gives our TM’s the ability to take care of customers faster, improves service time and

stronger TM contributions.” “The new Loan Walk Report provides more detailed information compared to the old POS. This helps our SM’s to identify opportunities faster so that lending behaviors are aligned with company expectation. This is a great tool to support SM’s to build quality PLO growth.”

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we provide certain other financial information that is adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring and restatement charges and other discreet items and to reflect the results of our Latin America Pawn operations on a constant currency basis. We believe that presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in evaluating and comparing

  • ur operating results across accounting periods and understanding the operating and financial

performance of our business. We believe that the non-GAAP financial information reflects an additional way

  • f viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete

understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. You should consider the non-GAAP information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of that information for comparative purposes.
