Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (AS RESTATED) As discussed in the Explanatory Note immediately preceding Part I, this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A does not modify or update disclosures in the original filing that may have been affected by subsequent events, except for the effects of the restatement described in “Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Grupo Finmart Portfolio Review and Restatement” and Notes 2 and 19 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We consider the following subsequent events to be direct effects of the restatement and, therefore, have updated our disclosures regarding subsequent events from our Annual Report on Form 10-K as originally filed on November 26, 2014. Event of Default and Election to Pay Additional Interest Under the Indenture relating to our Convertible Notes (see “2.125% Cash Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019” in Note 10), we are required to file with the Trustee our annual, quarterly and other periodic reports within 15 days after those reports are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As previously disclosed, we did not timely file with the SEC or the Trustee our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015 (the “Q2 Quarterly Report”) and, thus, were in default under the Indenture as of May 26, 2015. We notified the Trustee of such default on June 22, 2015, as required by the Indenture. Under the Indenture, such default does not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) until the Trustee notifies us in writing of the default and we do not cure the default within 60 days after the receipt of such notice. We received a Notice of Default from the Trustee regarding our failure to timely file the Q2 Quarterly Report on July 29, 2015. The 60-day cure period specified in the Indenture expired on September 27, 2015, and an Event of Default under the Indenture existed as of that date. The Indenture provides that we may elect, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Event of Default during the first 180 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default, to pay additional interest on the Convertible Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes (the “Additional Interest”). We elected to pay such Additional Interest and notified the Trustee of such election, and the Trustee notified the holders of Convertible Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Convertible Notes from, and including, September 27, 2015 (the date on which the Event of Default occurred) to the earlier of (a) the date on which the Event of Default is cured or waived or (b) March 24, 2016 (the 180^th day from and after the date on which the Event of Default occurred). The Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Convertible Notes. Federal Securities Litigation On July 20, 2015, Wu Winfred Huang, a purported holder of Class A Non-voting Common Stock, for himself and on behalf of other similarly situated holders of Class A Non-voting Common Stock, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas styled Huang v. EZCORP, Inc., et al. (Case No. 1:15-cv-00608-SS). The complaint names as defendants EZCORP, Inc., Stuart I. Grimshaw (our chief executive officer) and Mark E. Kuchenrither (our former chief financial officer) and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint relates to the Company’s announcement on July 17, 2015 that it will restate the financial statements for fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015, and alleges generally that the Company issued materially false or misleading statements concerning the Company, its finances, business operations and prospects and that the Company misrepresented the financial performance of the Grupo Finmart business. On August 14, 2015, a substantially identical lawsuit, styled Rooney v. EZCORP, Inc., et al. (Case No. 1:15-cv-00700-SS) was also filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. On September 28, 2015, the plaintiffs in these two lawsuits filed an agreed stipulation to be appointed co-lead plaintiffs and agreed that their two actions should be consolidated. On November 3, 2015, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions under the caption In re EZCORP, Inc. Securities Litigation (Master File No. 1:15-cv-00608-SS), and appointed the two plaintiffs as co-lead plaintiffs, with their respective counsel appointed as co-lead counsel. This case is in the very early stages. We cannot predict the outcome of the litigation, but we intend to defend vigorously against all allegations and claims.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (AS RESTATED)

As discussed in the Explanatory Note immediately preceding Part I, this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A does not modify or update disclosures in the original filing that may have been affected by subsequent events, except for the effects of the restatement described in “Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Grupo Finmart Portfolio Review and Restatement” and Notes 2 and 19 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We consider the following subsequent events to be direct effects of the restatement and, therefore, have updated our disclosures regarding subsequent events from our Annual Report on Form 10-K as originally filed on November 26, 2014.

Event of Default and Election to Pay Additional Interest

Under the Indenture relating to our Convertible Notes (see “2.125% Cash Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019” in Note 10), we are required to file with the Trustee our annual, quarterly and other periodic reports within 15 days after those reports are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As previously disclosed, we did not timely file with the SEC or the Trustee our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015 (the “Q2 Quarterly Report”) and, thus, were in default under the Indenture as of May 26, 2015. We notified the Trustee of such default on June 22, 2015, as required by the Indenture.

Under the Indenture, such default does not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) until the Trustee notifies us in writing of the default and we do not cure the default within 60 days after the receipt of such notice. We received a Notice of Default from the Trustee regarding our failure to timely file the Q2 Quarterly Report on July 29, 2015. The 60-day cure period specified in the Indenture expired on September 27, 2015, and an Event of Default under the Indenture existed as of that date.

The Indenture provides that we may elect, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Event of Default during the first 180 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default, to pay additional interest on the Convertible Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes (the “Additional Interest”). We elected to pay such Additional Interest and notified the Trustee of such election, and the Trustee notified the holders of Convertible Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Convertible Notes from, and including, September 27, 2015 (the date on which the Event of Default occurred) to the earlier of (a) the date on which the Event of Default is cured or waived or (b) March 24, 2016 (the 180^th day from and after the date on which the Event of Default occurred). The Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Convertible Notes.

Federal Securities Litigation

On July 20, 2015, Wu Winfred Huang, a purported holder of Class A Non-voting Common Stock, for himself and on behalf of other similarly situated holders of Class A Non-voting Common Stock, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas styled Huang v.

Kuchenrither (our former chief financial officer) and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint relates to the Company’s announcement on July 17, 2015 that it will restate the financial statements for fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015, and alleges generally that the Company issued materially false or misleading statements concerning the Company, its finances, business operations and prospects and that the Company misrepresented the financial performance of the Grupo Finmart business.

On September 28, 2015, the plaintiffs in these two lawsuits filed an agreed stipulation to be appointed co-lead plaintiffs and agreed that their two actions should be consolidated. On November 3, 2015, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions under the caption In re EZCORP, Inc.
