EZCORP reported its fourth quarter results for fiscal 2020, ending September 30. Total revenues fell 22% to $166.9 million, with net revenues down 26% to $89.6 million. The decline was primarily due to a 34% drop in pawn service charges, attributed to lower average pawn loans outstanding. The company incurred a loss before taxes of $28.7 million and a diluted loss per share of $0.42. Despite these challenges, EZCORP is implementing cost-cutting measures projected to save over $12 million annually and is focused on operational improvements.
