Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. The forward looking statements contained in this presentation include, without limitation, statements related to: the completion of the planned Acquisition, and the anticipated benefits thereof and the CFPB lawsuit. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. Such factors may include, without limitation, risks associated with the recent publicly announced lawsuit filed by the CFPB against the Company, including the incurrence of meaningful expenses, reputational damage, monetary damages and other penalties, with acquisitions generally, such as the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required approvals under applicable anti-trust legislation and other regulatory and third party consents and approvals; potential volatility in the capital markets and impact on the ability to complete the proposed debt financing necessary to satisfy the purchase price; failure to retain key management and employees of AFF; issues or delays in the successful integration of AFF operations with those of the Company, including incurring or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays or difficulties; unfavorable reaction to the acquisition by AFF’s merchant partners, bank partner, customers, competitors, suppliers and employees; (Continued on next page)


Slide 3

Forward-Looking Statements (Continued) Uncertainties and regulatory developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which include risks and uncertainties related to the current unknown duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of governmental responses that have been, and may in the future be, imposed in response to the pandemic, including stimulus programs which could adversely impact lending demand, vaccine mandates which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to retain its employees, and other regulations which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to fully operate, potential changes in consumer behavior and shopping patterns which could impact demand for both the Company’s pawn loan and retail products, labor shortages, the deterioration in the economic conditions in the United States and Latin America which potentially could have an impact on discretionary consumer spending, and currency fluctuations, primarily involving the Mexican peso and those other risks and uncertainties discussed and described in (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and filed with the SEC on February 3, 2021, including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” thereof, and (ii) in the other reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, nor can the Company predict, in many cases, all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.


Slide 4

Non-GAAP Financial Information 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 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. Please reference the form 10-Q filed on 10/25/2021 for further explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Pawn stores are neighborhood-based retail locations that buy and sell pre-owned consumer products such as jewelry, electronics, tools, appliances, sporting goods and musical instruments, and make small consumer pawn loans Pawn Industry Grow revenues and income by opening new retail pawn locations, acquiring existing pawn stores in strategic markets and increasing revenue and operating profits in existing stores Business Strategy Provide a quick and convenient location to buy and sell value-priced merchandise and obtain small secured consumer loans, also known as pawn loans, to unbanked, under-banked and credit-challenged customers Mission FirstCash is a leading international operator of pawn stores with over 2,800 retail pawn locations and 16,000 employees in 25 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and four countries in Latin America including Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and El Salvador “About 53 million U.S. adults don’t have credit scores. Another roughly 56 million have subprime scores. Some have a checkered borrowing history or high debt loads. But others, banks point out, just don’t have traditional borrowing backgrounds, often because they are new to the U.S. or pay for most expenses with cash” — The Wall Street Journal FirstCash At a Glance

The CFPB does not directly regulate FirstCash’s pawn business, which is primarily regulated at the state level in the U.S. Traditional possessory, non-recourse pawn loans are not subject to the CFPB’s Small Dollar Lending rule The CFPB’s ability to review FirstCash’s pawn business is limited and does not include the ability to conduct supervisory examinations of FirstCash’s pawn operations. The CFPB initiated a civil action in a Texas federal district court against FirstCash alleging violations of the Military Lending Act (“MLA”) FirstCash believes the CFPB’s investigation occurred as part of a broader series of investigations into MLA practices across the financial services industry With respect to inclusion of FirstCash, we understand the CFPB investigation originated from a single customer complaint from 2019 that was remediated CFPB alleges approximately 3,600 transactions involving approximately 1,000 customers that may have violated the MLA based on its review of transactional data provided by FirstCash to the CFPB1 The alleged 3,600 transactions made in violation of the MLA amount to 0.1% of the total transactions about which information was provided to the CFPB and the CFPB has provided no support for its allegations FirstCash has robust compliance policies and procedures designed to ensure it complies with the MLA, and remains confident that such policies and procedures are appropriate in light of its business practices and the requirements of the MLA The CFPB’s characterizations of FirstCash as a repeat offender are based on violations committed by an entity that was fully divested by Cash America two years before the Company’s acquisition of Cash America in 2016 FirstCash is willing to work with the CFPB on this matter to the extent possible to reach a favorable resolution, however, it intends to vigorously defend itself against the CFPB’s allegations FirstCash believes the regulatory climate for its pawn activities remain stable and viable despite the CFPB’s lawsuit against it and increased enforcement actions under the Biden administration Regulatory Risk and Outstanding CFPB Matter 1. CFPB alleges that these 3,600 transactions allegedly in violation of the MLA “are from only a limited period for which the Bureau currently has transactional data, and the stores from which they originated make up only about 10% of FirstCash’s nationwide pawn-loan operations.”

Constant Currency Certain performance metrics discussed in this presentation 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.
