SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ENTRY Significant barriers to entry in both the United States and

SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ENTRY Significant barriers to entry in both the United States and Mexico make it difficult for new competitors to enter the space UNITED STATES q Key markets for First Cash have significant licensing restrictions limiting ability of competitors to establish new, competing locations q Texas - per state law, in large counties (over 250, 000 population) new licenses not granted within 2 miles of any other pawn shop q Maryland/DC/Virginia - most counties and DC have hard caps on the number of licenses and are not granting new ones q Colorado - most larger, metropolitan cities and suburbs have ceased issuing new pawn licenses MEXICO q First Cash has significant first-mover advantage q De novo strategy requires significant capital investment, operating expertise, and development of human capital q Other public pawn operators are currently not growing significantly in Mexico q Must allow for a long time horizon to compete with FCFS q Extremely limited acquisition opportunities in large format space q New regulations and reporting requirements work in favor of larger, more sophisticated operators such as 11 FCFS
