Forward guidance
The Company’s outlook for 2025 is highly positive given the continued growth in pawn receivables and expectations for further pawn store additions and AFF merchant partner growth.
Tailwinds
- Pawn operations will continue to be the primary earnings driver, as the Company expects the contribution from the combined U.S. and Latin America pawn segments to be approximately 85% of total segment level pre-tax income for 2025.
- The Company expects further growth in the pawn store base in 2025 through a combination of new store openings and potential acquisitions.
- Given the strong revenue momentum coupled with modest expense growth, the Company anticipates solid double-digit segment earnings growth in 2025 from this, its largest segment (US Pawn).
- Full year origination volume for 2025 is expected to increase in a low single digit range compared to 2024, given continued growth in door counts and originations from new and other existing merchants (Retail POS Payment Solutions).
- AFF’s prospects remain positive as well, as it continues to grow and diversify its merchant base.
Headwinds
- U.S. dollar-reported results for Latin America in 2025 are expected to be impacted by the lower exchange rate for the Mexican peso.
- As a result of recent merchant partner bankruptcies in the furniture sector, the Company anticipates first half 2025 origination volume being down to the prior year, given lower expected furniture originations (Retail POS Payment Solutions).
- While full year 2025 net revenues are forecast to decline in a range of 10% to 15% compared to the prior year due to lower LTO balances and first half originations (Retail POS Payment Solutions).
- Each full point change in the exchange rate of the Mexican peso is projected to have an annual earnings impact of approximately $0.10 per share.
- Same-store pawn receivables began 2025 down 6% on a U.S. dollar basis but up 12% on a constant currency basis (Latin America Pawn).
