Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business EZCORP, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading provider of pawn loans in the United States ("U.S.") and Latin America. Pawn loans are non-recourse loans collateralized by tangible property. We also sell merchandise, primarily collateral forfeited from pawn lending operations and pre-owned merchandise purchased from customers. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 17, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Financial results for the three and six-month period ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. Our business is subject to seasonal variations, and operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (the "current quarter" and "prior-year quarter," respectively) are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year. There have been no changes that have had a material impact in significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021 except for as disclosed below related to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EZCORP, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We use the equity method of accounting for entities in which we have a 50% or less investment and exercise significant influence. We account for equity investments for which we do not have significant influence and without readily determinable fair values at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include the determination of inventory reserves, expected credit losses, useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of equity investments, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, loss contingencies related to litigation and discount rates used for operating leases. Actual results may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the U.S. and global economies, as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The full extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact on the global economy generally, and on our business specifically, is currently unknown. The impact of the pandemic, and the recovery therefrom, continued to adversely affect net revenues and earnings into fiscal 2021. During the latter part of fiscal 2021, we saw pawn transaction activity continue to rebuild, driving pawn loans outstanding ("PLO") balances closer to pre-pandemic levels, which will drive accelerating pawn service charges ("PSC") revenue in the coming quarters given the natural lag between pawn originations and related fees. We continue to assess what type of impact various COVID-19 variants may have to our business net revenues and operating expenses in fiscal year 2022. A prolonged pandemic and recovery may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions related to COVID-19 could ultimately differ over time. Recently Adopted Accounting Policies In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued its ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40), (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 eliminates beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models resulting in more convertible instruments being accounted for as a single unit. The ASU 2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We early adopted this standard on October 1, 2021 under the modified retrospective basis. Impact of the Adoption of ASU 2020-06 On October 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06 on a modified retrospective basis. Under ASU 2020-06, we no longer separate the convertible senior notes into liability and equity components. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying this new standard as of October 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the October 1, 2021 opening balance of retained earnings. The conversion option that was previously accounted for in equity under the cash conversion model was recombined into the convertible debt outstanding, and as a result, additional paid in capital and the related unamortized debt discount on the convertible senior notes were reduced. The removal of the remaining debt discounts recorded for this previous separation has the effect of increasing our net debt balance. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily to decrease interest expense by $3.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively. This had the effect of increasing our basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 by $0.05 and $0.09, and decreasing our diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 by $0.01 and $0.03, respectively. Additionally, adoption of the standard requires interest charges on the convertible debt to be added to net income as well as the use of the “if-converted” method to calculate diluted earnings per common share. Refer to Note 4: Earnings Per Share for a discussion of the effect of the convertible notes on diluted earnings per common share. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements We reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
