Forward Guidance
The Company’s outlook for 2024 continues to be highly positive, with expected year-over-year growth in consolidated revenue and earnings driven by the continued growth in earning asset balances coupled with recent store additions.
Positive Outlook
- Pawn operations are expected to remain the primary earnings driver in 2024, contributing over 80% of total segment level pre-tax income.
- The Company continues to target the addition of approximately 90 to 100 total pawn locations for 2024 through a combination of new store openings and acquisitions.
- U.S. pawn operations are expected to benefit in 2024 from full year revenue and earnings contributions from the 87 stores acquired in the second half of 2023 coupled with further growth from the 27 stores acquired in the first half of 2024.
- The Company is still projecting its full year and second half gross transaction volumes for 2024 to exceed 2023 results for AFF.
- Combined operating and administrative expenses for AFF for the full year are expected to be approximately 1% to 3% below the prior year through cost saving initiatives and continued realization of operating synergies with FirstCash.
Challenges Ahead
- Retail sales for many of AFF’s furniture, appliance and electronics merchant partners were down during the first half of 2024.
