Forward guidance
Based on strong third quarter results, recent pawn acquisitions, and continued growth in earning assets, the Company's outlook for the remainder of 2023 remains highly positive.
Tailwinds
- Expected fourth quarter results in the U.S. should benefit from the addition of 88 U.S. locations year-to-date.
- Pawn receivables at September 30, 2023 were up 22% in the U.S. and 15% in Latin America.
- Retail margins are anticipated to remain strong at 42% to 43% in the U.S. and 35% to 36% in Latin America.
- Management continues to see a solid pipeline of further new store openings and potential acquisition opportunities in both the U.S. and Latin America.
- Transaction volumes, or originations, are now expected to increase 8% to 10% in the fourth quarter and 18% to 20% for the full year as compared to the respective prior-year periods.
Headwinds
- Operating expenses are expected to rise in both the U.S. and Latin America in 2023 due to increased store counts along with continued inflationary impacts (primarily in Latin America).
- The Company expects AFF's estimated lease and loan loss provisioning rates for the remainder of 2023 will continue to reflect a conservative approach with provisioning above historical pre-pandemic loss rates for most vintages.
- Full year provision expense is expected to increase consistently with the expected increase in originations.
- Operating expenses for the full year are expected to increase in the 10% to 12% range in 2023 as well, primarily due to the expected increase in origination activity.
- U.S. pawn receivables continue to trend even higher thus far in October, and are now up by over 24% in total and over 12% on a same-store basis compared to the same point a year ago.
