About FirstCash Holdings, Inc.
About FirstCash Holdings, Inc.
Pawn loan fees generated 46% of FirstCash Holdings' consolidated net revenue in 2025, with merchandise sales gross profit contributing 39% and American First Finance (AFF) retail POS payment solutions adding 15%, across a 3,330-store network spanning 29 U.S. states, 32 Mexican states, and the U.K. The August 2025 acquisition of H&T—the U.K.'s largest pawnbroker with 286 stores—established a new U.K. reporting segment, bringing total store count to 3,330 as of December 31, 2025.
FirstCash earns pawn loan fees on non-recourse collateralized loans, with average loan amounts of $312 in the U.S., $112 in Latin America, and $825 in the U.K. per transaction at December 31, 2025. Forfeited collateral converts directly into merchandise inventory, linking lending volume to retail supply; pawn loan balances typically grow in the third and fourth quarters, with retail sales peaking in Q4 from holiday shopping. The AFF segment facilitates lease-to-own products (43% of 2025 gross transaction volume), bank-originated installment loans (45%), and retail installment sales agreements (12%) through a network of merchant partners, using a proprietary decisioning platform that evaluates applicants using data beyond traditional credit scores. The 10-K notes the pawn industry in the U.S. has an estimated 12,000 to 14,000 total pawnshops and 8,000 to 9,000 in Mexico—a fragmented market where FirstCash is the largest public or private operator of large format stores.
Show full overview
Mexico hosts 1,732 of the 1,837 Latin America stores and represents FirstCash's largest single-country operation outside the U.S., subject to currency and regulatory risk. The 10-K discloses that fluctuations in currency exchange rates in most Latin American markets may cause financial results to change significantly, and notes that the Mexican government operates competing pawnshops through government-sponsored foundations—with the risk that regulatory or administrative actions could harm competitive positioning in Mexico. In the U.K., federal regulations mandate a six-month pawn loan term plus a two-month grace period, a structural difference from U.S. and Latin America terms that affects capital management for the newly integrated H&T stores.
