EXHIBIT 99.1
FirstCash Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings Results;
Pawn Segment Earnings Increase 36% in U.S. and 18% in LatAm;
Increases Quarterly Dividend by 10% to $0.33 per Share
____________________________________________________________
Fort Worth, Texas (July 28, 2022) -- FirstCash Holdings, Inc. (“FirstCash” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FCFS), the leading international operator of retail pawn stores and a leading provider of retail point-of-sale (“POS”) payment solutions, today announced operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022. The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share, an increase of 10% compared to the previous quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, which will be paid in August 2022.
Mr. Rick Wessel, chief executive officer, stated, “We are excited to report record second quarter results driven by especially strong revenue growth from core pawn operations as consolidated same-store pawn fees grew 20% while consolidated retail sales were up 10% on a same-store basis over the prior-year quarter. Resulting segment earnings from pawn operations increased 36% in the U.S. and 18% in Latin America versus the prior year. The recently acquired AFF operations saw continued growth in active retail merchant locations and gross transaction volumes, which contributed to solid earnings results for the retail POS payment solutions segment.
“The Company’s cash flows and balance sheet continue to be strong, supporting revenue growth, $102 million in stock repurchases so far this year and the announced 10% increase in the cash dividend. We further believe the outlook for the second half of 2022 remains highly positive given July revenue trends in our pawn stores.”
This release contains adjusted earnings measures, which exclude certain non-operating and/or non-cash expenses, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the descriptions and reconciliations to GAAP of these and other non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

Consolidated Operating Highlights
•Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 increased 159% on a GAAP basis to $1.81, which included a gain related to the revaluation of the contingent consideration related to the AFF acquisition, partially offset by other non-cash AFF purchase accounting adjustments as further discussed in the AFF segment results below.
•Adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which exclude the above impacts and other adjustments described herein, increased 52% to $1.08 compared to the prior-year quarter.
•Year-to-date diluted earnings per share increased 57% on a GAAP basis and 45% on an adjusted non-GAAP basis compared to the prior year.
•Consolidated revenues totaled $648 million, a second quarter record, representing a 66% increase over the prior-year quarter.

Year-to-date consolidated revenues increased 64% on a GAAP basis and increased 67% on an adjusted non-GAAP basis compared to the prior year.
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 increased 167% and 68%, respectively, compared to the prior-year quarter. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2022, EBITDA increased 64% to $353 million while adjusted EBITDA increased 57% to $364 million over the comparable prior year period.
•Pre-tax operating income from the Company’s pawn segments increased $22 million, or 29%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting significant growth in pawn receivables and more normalized merchandise inventory levels compared to a year ago. Year-to-date profit from the pawn segments for 2022 increased 24% compared to last year and represented 80% of adjusted segment profit.
•U.S. pawn segment pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2022 was $64 million, an increase of 36% over the second quarter of the prior year. These results were driven primarily by a 31% increase in pawn fee revenue compared to last year.
•Latin America pawn segment pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2022 was $33 million, an increase of 18% over the second quarter of the prior year, reflecting accelerating pawn loan demand and double digit growth in combined revenue from pawn fees and retail sales.
•The retail POS payment solutions segment (AFF) contributed second quarter GAAP segment pre-tax income of $12 million. Excluding non-cash purchase accounting impacts, adjusted segment pre-tax income was $25 million.
U.S. Pawn Segment
•Segment pre-tax operating income increased by $17 million, or 36%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter. The resulting segment pre-tax operating margin was 21% for the second quarter of 2022, an improvement over the 19% margin for the prior-year quarter.
•Year-to-date segment pre-tax operating income increased by $29 million, or 27% compared to the prior-year period. The resulting segment pre-tax operating margin was 22% for the year-to-date period, an improvement over the 21% margin for the prior-year.
•Pawn receivables at June 30, 2022 increased 33% compared to the prior year and are now above the comparative pre-pandemic levels of June 2019. Same-store pawn receivables are also up 33% over the same point a year ago.
•Pawn loan fee revenue was up 31% for the second quarter of 2022 and 29% on a same-store basis, as compared to the prior-year quarter.

2
•Retail sales margins remained strong at 41% in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting solid demand for value-priced, pre-owned merchandise and low levels of aged inventory.
•Merchandise inventories increased 29% on a year-over-year basis versus the depleted levels a year ago and are now normalized to pre-COVID levels. Inventories remain well-positioned, with aged inventory (greater than one year) remaining low at 1%.
•Operating expenses increased 8% in total and 6% on a same-store basis in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter and includes a 23% increase in variable compensation expense over the prior-year period as a result of the strong operating results.
•One store in Texas was acquired during the second quarter of 2022 with two additional stores acquired in Florida subsequent to the June 30 quarter end. Two existing store locations have been strategically relocated this year with another four relocations in progress. Additionally, the Company purchased the underlying real estate at 22 of its pawn stores during the second quarter and a total of 28 properties have been acquired year-to-date.
Latin America Pawn Segment
Note: Certain growth rates below are calculated on a constant currency basis, a non-GAAP financial measure defined at the end of this release. The average Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 20.0 pesos / dollar, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 was 20.3 pesos / dollar, both of which were materially consistent with the prior-year periods.
•Segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2022 increased 18% over the prior-year quarter, reflecting an increased contribution from retail sales revenue. The resulting segment pre-tax operating margin increased to 21% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 20% in the prior-year quarter.
•Year-to-date segment pre-tax operating income increased by $9 million, or 17% compared to the prior-year period. The resulting segment pre-tax operating margin was 20% for the year-to-date period, which equaled the prior-year period.
•Total and same-store retail merchandise sales in the second quarter of 2022 were especially strong, increasing 11% compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued demand for popular value-priced merchandise.
•Pawn loan fees increased 8% in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting growth in both pawn receivables and yields on the portfolio. On a same-store basis, pawn loan fees increased 7% compared to the prior-year quarter.
•Pawn receivables at June 30, 2022 increased 6% compared to the prior year, or 7% on a constant currency basis. On a same-store basis, pawn receivables increased 5%, or 6% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. These constant currency growth rates represented sequential improvement compared to the first quarter and indicated that demand in Latin America is now beginning to follow recent U.S. trends.
•Retail margins remained consistent and solid at 37% in the second quarter of 2022, especially given the significant percentage of sales coming from cell phones and other consumer electronics.
•Annualized inventory turnover was 4.2 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, while inventories aged greater than one year as of June 30, 2022 remained low at 1%.
•Operating expenses increased 5% in total and on a same-store basis compared to the prior-year quarter, which includes a 21% increase in variable compensation expense over the prior year.
•A total of nine de novo locations were opened in Latin America during the second quarter of 2022 and 19 locations have been opened year-to-date. The Company also continues to strategically relocate and/or consolidate specific acquired stores in order to upgrade the locations and increase operational efficiencies.

Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment - American First Finance (AFF)
Note: The reconciliations of GAAP revenues and earnings for this segment to adjusted revenues and earnings are provided and described in more detail in the Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment Results section of this release.
•Total segment revenues, comprised of lease-to-own (“LTO”) fees and interest and fees on finance receivables, for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $191 million on a GAAP basis, or $203 million on an adjusted basis, which excludes the non-cash impacts of fair value purchase accounting requirements. Revenues for the year-to-date period totaled $384 million on a GAAP basis and $412 million on an adjusted basis.
•Segment pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $12 million on a GAAP basis, or $25 million on an adjusted basis, which excludes non-cash purchase accounting impacts. For the year-to-date period, segment pre-tax operating income totaled $17 million on a GAAP basis and $50 million on an adjusted basis.
•AFF continued to grow market share in the retail POS payment solutions space with approximately 7,600 active retail and e-commerce merchant partner locations at June 30, 2022, representing a 34% increase in active merchant locations compared to the same point last year and a 10% sequential increase.
•Combined leased merchandise and finance receivables outstanding at June 30, 2022, excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, increased 21% compared to the same point last year.
•Gross transaction volume from LTO and POS financing transactions totaled $206 million for the second quarter of 2022. This represents an increase of 5% compared to pre-acquisition results in the second quarter of 2021. Gross transaction volume was driven by the growth in retail partner locations and online originations, partially offset by the slowdown in consumer foot traffic in many of AFF’s merchant partner retail locations.
•Credit loss provisioning was in line with expectations, which is based on CECL-type accounting methodology which estimates full day-one provisioning of expected lifetime losses on both LTO and retail finance products. The provisioning for second quarter 2022 gross transaction originations reflects the historical pre-COVID credit environment supplemented with an additional provisioning overlay given the current macroeconomic environment. Combined lease and loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 were consistent with previously expected losses included in the Company’s loss reserves on the lease and loan portfolio.
•In addition to the segment level results for AFF, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $66 million in the second quarter related to a net decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the seller of AFF. The contingent consideration is primarily based on AFF’s achievement of certain EBITDA targets by the end of 2022 and in the first half of 2023. Given the macro-driven slowdown in origination activity compared to the forecasts at the time the AFF acquisition was negotiated last summer, the Company now expects the earnout component of the contingent consideration to be at the low end of the payout scale. The gain has been excluded from adjusted earnings measures as described in more detail in the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures provided elsewhere in this release.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
•The Company generated $227 million in cash flow from operations and $152 million in adjusted free cash flow during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which represented year-over-year increases of 99% and 78%, respectively.
•For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, cash flow from operations totaled $336 million while adjusted free cash flow was $181 million, representing year-over-year increases of 75% and 136%, respectively.
4
•The Company’s strong liquidity position at June 30, 2022 includes cash balances of $110 million and ample borrowing capacity under its bank lines of credit. Year-to-date, the Company has utilized its cash flows and liquidity to fund significant growth in pawn receivables and inventories, strategically purchase $59 million of underlying real estate at 28 pawn store locations and repurchase $88 million of its stock, as further discussed below.
•The resulting net debt to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 3.3 times as of June 30, 2022 compared to 4.1 times as of December 31, 2021.
Shareholder Returns
•The Company repurchased 301,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2022 at an aggregate cost of $20 million and an average cost per share of $68.10. Year-to-date, through the date of this release, the Company repurchased 1,486,000 shares of common stock in 2022 at an aggregate cost of $102 million and an average cost per share of $68.79. The Company had $70 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization as of the date of this release. Future share repurchases are subject to expected liquidity, acquisition opportunities, debt covenant restrictions and other relevant factors.
•The Board of Directors declared a $0.33 per share third quarter cash dividend on common shares outstanding, which will be paid on August 26, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 12, 2022. On an annualized basis, the dividend is now $1.32 per share, representing a 10% increase over the previous annualized dividend of $1.20 per share. Any future dividends are subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2022 Outlook
The Company outlook for 2022 remains very positive as it continues to expect significant year-over-year revenue and earnings growth based on first half results and current trends. Anticipated conditions and trends for the remainder of the year include the following:
Pawn Operations:
•Pawn operations are expected to remain the primary earnings driver for 2022 as the Company expects segment income from the combined U.S. and Latin America pawn segments will be approximately 80% of total adjusted segment level pre-tax income.
•Inflationary economic environments have historically driven increased customer demand for both pawn loans and value-priced merchandise offered in pawn stores.
◦Demand for pawn loans in the U.S. continues to be robust, with continued growth in pawn receivable balances. Customer fundings (new pawns and direct purchases of merchandise from customers) for July continue to be above comparative pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
◦In Latin America, growth in pawn balances accelerated significantly in the second quarter with pawn receivables now above 2019 levels for the first time since the pandemic began. In July to date, the Company has seen continued sequential acceleration in customer fundings compared to June.
◦July retail sales results continue to be extremely strong, with same-store sales up over 13% in the U.S. and over 8% in Latin America month-to-date over the comparative prior-year period.
•Pawn merchandise inventories remain well-positioned, having essentially normalized to pre-COVID levels with very limited amounts of aged inventory, which continue to drive retail margins at or above historical levels.
•Increases in wages and certain other operating costs across all markets are expected in 2022, including Mexico in particular, where the federal minimum wage and certain statutory employee benefits were increased at the beginning of the year. The Company believes these additional expenses are manageable and expects them to be more than offset by increased revenues.
5
•The Company continues to expect up to 60 new store additions in 2022 through a combination of de novo openings and acquisitions.
•The current trading level for the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar is approximately 20.5 to 1. Each full point change in the exchange rate of the peso represents an approximate $0.08 annual impact on earnings per share.
AFF Operations:
•Despite macroeconomic headwinds negatively impacting retail sales at many of AFF’s retail merchant partners, the Company continues to expect AFF to generate full year growth in gross transaction volumes and total revenues, primarily from increased door counts from both new and existing merchant relationships.
•The roll out of AFF products to the FirstCash stores in the U.S. is well underway with approximately 300 locations now offering the product and the remainder of the U.S. pawn stores expected to be onboarded in the second half of 2022.
•AFF’s estimated lease and loan loss provisioning for the remainder of the year is expected to reflect higher, pre-pandemic loss rates with additional provisioning for certain portfolios given the current macroeconomic environment. As a reminder, AFF utilizes a lease and loan reserve methodology that reflects expected lifetime losses on its portfolios. The initial lifetime lease and loan loss reserve is established in the month that the transactions are originated and is updated monthly thereafter only for the change in estimated future losses.
Tax Rate:
•The consolidated effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 22.2%, which included a $3.4 million permanent tax benefit related to the gain on revaluation of contingent acquisition consideration described above. Excluding the permanent tax benefit, the adjusted effective income tax rate was 24.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
•For the full year of 2022, the adjusted effective income tax rate (excluding the permanent tax benefit described above) under current tax codes in the U.S. and Latin America is expected to range from 24.5% to 25.5%.
Additional Commentary and Analysis
Mr. Wessel provided additional insights on the Company’s strong second quarter operating performance, “Given the inflationary and uncertain macroeconomic environment, our results reflect the durability and often defensive nature of our core pawn business. During the second quarter, we experienced further demand-driven acceleration of pawn receivable growth in both our U.S. and LatAm markets. Additionally, demand for deep value retail goods remained strong, with both segments reporting double-digit growth in same-store retail sales and retail margins at or above historical levels. At the same time, we continued to manage our expenses, with same-store operating expenses up less than the current rate of inflation in both the U.S. and Latin America.
“These outstanding results in our core pawn segments generated strong revenue growth which, coupled with outstanding execution by our experienced operations teams, translated into even greater earnings growth. As we begin the third quarter, our pawn stores in both the U.S. and Latin America continue to see increasing demand for pawn loans and value-priced merchandise, which is consistent with pawn revenue growth demonstrated in previous recessionary economic cycles.
“AFF again posted solid results during its second full quarter since the acquisition late last year. While the retail environment for most of AFF’s merchant partners remains challenging, AFF again saw year-over-year growth in gross transaction volumes and revenues during the second quarter. We are encouraged by the continued growth in the number of active merchant doors across most industry verticals, positioning AFF for future revenue and
6
earnings growth. Credit performance for the quarter was as expected with trends that are consistent with pre-pandemic results in 2018 and 2019. The lease and loan loss reserves continue to reflect lifetime expected losses based on historical performance and expected near-term trends.
“Consolidated second quarter and year-to-date earnings growth translated into strong cash flows which continue to be reinvested into assets supporting revenue growth and shareholder returns. Growth investments included a combination of pawn store acquisitions, new store openings and strategic real estate purchases. We also continued to opportunistically repurchase stock, with second quarter-to-date repurchases of 301,000 shares and almost 1.5 million shares repurchased this year through the date of this release. Since the merger with Cash America in 2016, the Company has now repurchased almost 10 million shares of stock.
“Additionally, we are especially pleased to announce the 10% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.33 per share, or $1.32 per year, which reflects our continued confidence and optimism about the business.
“As we look toward the second half of the year and beyond, we believe that we are very well-positioned with over 80% of our expected adjusted segment net income for 2022 anticipated to come from our core pawn operations. Additionally, our cash flows and balance sheet are expected to support further long term growth of assets and shareholder returns. I would like to thank our 17,000 employees for their hard work and dedication, particularly over these past few challenging years, while maintaining our high standards of customer service,” concluded Mr. Wessel.

Latin America Pawn Segment Results
The Company’s management reviews and analyzes certain operating results in Latin America on a constant currency basis because the Company believes this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends. Constant currency results are non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effects of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current-year results at prior-year average exchange rates. The wholesale scrap jewelry sales in Latin America are priced and settled in U.S. dollars and are not affected by foreign currency translation, as are a small percentage of the operating and administrative expenses in Latin America, which are billed and paid in U.S. dollars. Amounts presented on a constant currency basis are denoted as such. See the “Constant Currency Results” section below for additional discussion of constant currency results.
The following table provides exchange rates for the Mexican peso, Guatemalan quetzal and Colombian peso for the current and prior-year periods:

The fair value adjustments will be amortized over the life of the lease contracts and finance receivables acquired at the time of acquisition, which is approximately one year from the date of the acquisition. The Company expects the fair value adjustments impacting AFF’s earning assets and segment earnings will be minimal in 2023 and beyond.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
The Company uses certain financial calculations such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted retail POS payment solutions segment metrics and constant currency results as factors in the measurement and evaluation of the Company’s operating performance and period-over-period growth. The Company derives these financial calculations on the basis of methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the SEC rules. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in operating its business because management believes they are less susceptible to variances in actual operating performance that can result from the excluded items, other infrequent charges and currency fluctuations. The Company presents these financial measures to investors because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the primary factors that drive the Company’s core operating performance and provide greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. However, items that are excluded and other adjustments and assumptions that are made in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial measures. Further, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
While acquisitions are an important part of the Company’s overall strategy, the Company has adjusted the applicable financial calculations to exclude merger and acquisition expenses, including the Company’s transaction expenses incurred in connection with its acquisition of AFF, and the impacts of purchase accounting with respect to the AFF acquisition in order to allow more accurate comparisons of the financial results to prior periods, which include the Company’s transaction expenses incurred in connection with its acquisition of AFF. In addition, the Company does not consider these merger and acquisition expenses to be related to the organic operations of the acquired businesses or its continuing operations, and such expenses are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired businesses. Merger and acquisition expenses include incremental costs directly associated with merger and acquisition activities, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance, retention and other employee-related costs, contract breakage costs and costs related to the consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities, among others.
The Company has certain leases in Mexico which are denominated in U.S. dollars. The lease liability of these U.S. dollar denominated leases, which is considered a monetary liability, is remeasured into Mexican pesos using current period exchange rates, resulting in the recognition of foreign currency exchange gains or losses. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these remeasurement gains or losses because they are non-cash, non-operating items that could create volatility in the Company’s consolidated results of operations due to the magnitude of the end of period lease liability being remeasured and to improve comparability of current periods presented with prior periods.
In conjunction with the Cash America merger in 2016, the Company recorded certain lease intangibles related to above- or below-market lease liabilities of Cash America which are included in the operating lease right of use asset on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company continues to opportunistically purchase real estate from landlords at certain Cash America stores, the associated lease intangible, if any, is written off and gain or loss is recognized. The Company has adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these gains or losses given the variability in size and timing of these transactions and because they are non-cash, non-operating gains or losses. The Company believes this improves comparability of operating results for current periods presented with prior periods.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding items that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance. In addition, management believes the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the current periods presented with the prior periods presented.

In addition, the seller of AFF has the right to receive up to an additional $75 million of consideration based on the performance of the Company’s stock through February 28, 2023. The Company estimated the fair value of this contingent consideration payable to the seller of AFF as of the acquisition date and revalues the contingent consideration to fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The gain is a result of a net decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the seller of AFF as of June 30, 2022.
(3)For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily includes a $2 million gain, net of tax, recognized as a result of a cash distribution received from a non-operating investment acquired in conjunction with the Cash America merger. The Company has elected to exclude the gain from adjusted earnings given the non-operating nature of the income.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
For purposes of its internal liquidity assessments, the Company considers free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less purchases of furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements and net fundings/repayments of pawn loan and finance receivables, which are considered to be operating in nature by the Company but are included in cash flow from investing activities. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow adjusted for merger and acquisition expenses paid that management considers to be non-operating in nature.
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are commonly used by investors as additional measures of cash generated by business operations that may be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and debt service or, following payment of such debt obligations and other non-discretionary items, that may be available to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, repurchase stock, pay cash dividends or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. These metrics can also be used to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company’s liquidity. However, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (in thousands):

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment Purchase Accounting Adjustments
Management believes the presentation of certain retail POS payment solutions segment metrics adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of AFF’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, which management believes is non-operating in nature and not representative of AFF’s core operating performance. See the retail POS payment solutions segment tables above for additional reconciliations of certain amounts adjusted to exclude the impacts of purchase accounting to as reported GAAP amounts.
Additionally, the following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated total revenue presented in accordance with GAAP to adjusted total revenue, which excludes the impacts of purchase accounting (in thousands):

Constant Currency Results
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, certain performance metrics discussed in this release are presented on a “constant currency” basis, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management uses constant currency results to evaluate operating results of business operations in Latin America, which are primarily transacted in local currencies.
The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America, consistent with how the Company’s management evaluates such performance and operating results. Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating certain balance sheet and income statement items denominated in local currencies using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current comparable period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations for purposes of evaluating period-over-period comparisons. Business operations in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia are transacted in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and Colombian pesos. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. See the Latin America pawn segment tables elsewhere in this release for an additional reconciliation of certain constant currency amounts to as reported GAAP amounts.
