CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). 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,” or “anticipates,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy or objectives. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations of earnings per share, earnings growth, expansion strategies, the impact of new or existing regulations, store openings, liquidity (including the availability of capital under existing credit facilities), cash flow, consumer demand for the Company’s products and services, income tax rates, currency exchange rates, future share repurchases and the price of gold and the impacts thereof, earnings and related transaction expenses from acquisitions and mergers, the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and other performance results. These statements are made to provide the public with management’s current assessment of the Company’s business. 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. Security holders are cautioned 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 quarterly report. Such factors are difficult to predict and many are beyond the control of the Company and may include, without limitation, the following:
changes in regional, national or international economic conditions, including inflation rates, unemployment rates and energy prices;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate in particular;
changes in consumer demand, including purchasing, borrowing and repayment behaviors;
changes in pawn forfeiture rates and credit loss provisions;
changes in the market value of pawn collateral and merchandise inventories, including gold prices and the value of consumer electronics and other products;
changes or increases in competition;
the ability to locate, open and staff new stores and successfully integrate acquisitions;
the availability or access to sources of used merchandise inventory;
changes in credit markets, interest rates and the ability to establish, renew and/or extend the Company’s debt financing;
the ability to maintain banking relationships for treasury services and processing of certain consumer lending transactions;
the ability to hire and retain key management personnel;
new federal, state or local legislative initiatives or governmental regulations (or changes to existing laws and regulations) affecting pawn businesses, consumer loan businesses and credit services organizations (in both the United States and Mexico), including administrative or legal interpretations thereto;
risks and uncertainties related to foreign operations in Mexico;
changes in import/export regulations and tariffs or duties;
changes in banking, anti-money laundering or gun control regulations;
unforeseen litigation or regulatory investigations;
changes in tax rates or policies in the U.S. and Mexico;
inclement weather, natural disasters and public health issues;
security breaches, cyber attacks or fraudulent activity;
a prolonged interruption in the Company’s operations of its facilities, systems, and business functions, including its information technology and other business systems;
the implementation of new, or changes in the interpretation of existing, accounting principles or financial reporting requirements; and
future business decisions.




These and other risks, uncertainties and regulatory developments are further and more completely described in the Company’s 2014 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2015, including the risks described in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s annual report. 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 quarterly report speak only as of the date of this quarterly report, 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.

FIRST CASH FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014, which is derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, include the accounts of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 2015. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, are unaudited, but in management’s opinion include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such interim periods. Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company manages its pawn and consumer loan operations under three operating segments: U.S. pawn operations, U.S. consumer loan operations and Mexico operations. The three operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics and similar long-term financial performance metrics. Additionally, all three segments offer similar and overlapping products and services to a similar customer demographic and are supported by a single, centralized administrative support platform.

The Company has significant operations in Mexico where the functional currency for the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Mexican peso. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date, and the resulting adjustments are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates occurring during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

Certain amounts in prior year comparative presentations have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 requires a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures, however, it may impact the reporting of future discontinued operations if and when they occur.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-14, which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year resulting in it becoming effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-15, which clarified the guidance in ASU 2015-03 regarding presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC Staff announced they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, however, it will impact future balance sheet presentation and financial statement disclosures related to the Company’s debt issuance costs, upon adoption.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method are excluded from the scope of this update. ASU 2015-11 requires prospective application and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-11 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. ASU 2015-16 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

The Company completed acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as described below consistent with its strategy to continue its expansion of pawn stores in selected markets. The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn stores acquired.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 30 pawn stores located in five U.S. states were acquired by the Company in five separate asset purchase transactions (“U.S. Acquisitions”) for an aggregate purchase price of $33,240,000, net of cash acquired, and was composed of $32,090,000 in cash and payables to the sellers of $1,150,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company also paid $925,000 of purchase price amounts payable related to prior-year acquisitions.

Intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, which are included in other non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Customer relationships are generally amortized over five years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, revenue from the U.S. Acquisitions since the acquisition dates was $5,498,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the net loss from the U.S. Acquisitions since the acquisition dates (including acquisition and integration costs) was $349,000. Combined transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $1,175,000, which are primarily included in administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Note 4 - Long-Term Debt

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 24, 2014, the Company issued $200,000,000 of 6.75% senior notes due on April 1, 2021 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The Notes permit the Company to make certain restricted payments, such as repurchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, within certain parameters, the most restrictive of which generally limits such restricted payments to 50% of adjusted net income.

Revolving Credit Facilities

At September 30, 2015, the Company maintained a line of credit with a group of U.S. based commercial lenders (the “2014 Credit Facility”) in the amount of $160,000,000, which matures in February 2019. At September 30, 2015, the Company had $68,500,000 outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility and $91,500,000 was available for borrowings. The 2014 Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (with interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (ii) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%. The interest rate on amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility at September 30, 2015 was 2.75% based on the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate. The 2014 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants and allows the Company to make certain restricted payments, such as repurchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, within certain parameters, provided the Company maintains compliance with those financial ratios and covenants after giving effect to such restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the 2014 Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had net proceeds of $46,100,000 from borrowings pursuant to the 2014 Credit Facility.

On March 9, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank in Mexico to establish a revolving credit facility (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000,000. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus a fixed spread of 2.0% and matures in December 2017. Under the terms of the Mexico Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the Mexico Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015. The Company is required to pay a one-time commitment fee of $25,000 due when the first amount is drawn/borrowed. At September 30, 2015, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $10,000,000 was available for borrowings.

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The three fair value levels are (from highest to lowest):

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

As cash and cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). Due to their short-term maturities, pawn loans, consumer loans (net), pawn loan fees and service charges receivable approximate fair value (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).

The carrying value of the 2014 Credit Facility and the Mexico Credit Facility approximated fair value for all periods presented. The fair value of the Notes was approximately $201,000,000, $209,000,000 and $207,000,000 as of September 30, 2015, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $200,000,000. These fair values have been estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate representing the Company’s estimate of the rate that would be used by market participants (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.

Note 6 - Goodwill

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2014
$
276,882

Acquisitions (Note 3)
26,506

The Company performs its goodwill impairment assessment annually as of December 31, and between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s reporting units, which are tested for impairment, are U.S. pawn operations, U.S. consumer loan operations and Mexico pawn and consumer loan operations. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level by initially assessing a range of qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors, such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and overall financial performance. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to the two-step impairment testing methodology.

The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit. These indicators included, among others, the impacts of recently enacted and additional proposed local, state and federal regulatory restrictions affecting short-term and long-term profitability expectations for payday and title lending products, the Company’s long-term ongoing strategy to reduce

10


non-core consumer lending operations along with significant deterioration in payday lending market conditions. Due to the aforementioned indicators, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit was less than the carrying value.

The Company estimated fair value of the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit by applying a multiple to the reporting units’ forecast earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as this is a common valuation technique within the consumer loan industry (the inputs used in the fair value calculation are significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, in the fair value hierarchy). The resulting estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and after performing the second step in the goodwill impairment testing methodology, the Company determined there was no material implied goodwill.

As a result, a $7,913,000 goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, which is included as goodwill impairment - U.S. consumer loan operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has no remaining goodwill or other intangible assets associated with its U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit.

Note 7 - Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Financial Statements

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (collectively, “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the payment obligations under the Notes. Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, the balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Parent Company’s other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim condensed financial information and does not include the more complete disclosures included in annual financial statements. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries have been presented under the equity method of accounting. The principal eliminating entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances and intercompany revenues and expenses. The condensed financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Guarantor Subsidiaries or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated as independent entities.
