Strong historical growth in ROE (5.3% to 13.0%), ROA (2.7% to 7.0%), and EBITDA margin (9.0% to 15.7%) supports the investment thesis. Recent acquisitions, robust liquidity, and expansion into 11 new countries position EZPW for continued growth amid macroeconomic headwinds.

Recent 1Q 2026 results show 19% revenue growth, 20% gross profit growth, and 36% adjusted EBITDA growth, even before January acquisitions. Acquisitions have expanded EZPW to 1,500 stores across 16 countries, compounding scale benefits and improving core economics.
