Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
STOCK COMPENSATION	NOTE 8: STOCK COMPENSATION During fiscal 2015, we granted awards to employees based upon underlying shares that were not issued, and therefore we accounted for these as phantom share-based awards under FASB ASC 718-30. These awards were classified as a current liability and recorded at their fair value of $3.9 million in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015. During the six-months ended March 31, 2016, we issued sufficient shares to allow treatment of these phantom share-based awards as equity awards under FASB ASC 718-20 and reclassified these awards to "Additional paid-in capital" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We continue recognizing compensation costs for these awards based on the original grant date fair value as the fair value of these awards have declined since the issuance and thus there were no incremental compensation costs. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the phantom share-based awards. On May 1, 2010 our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the EZCORP, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan permits grants of options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights covering up to 1,575,750 shares of our Class A Common Stock plus any shares that become available for issuance under either the 2010 Plan or prior plans as a result of forfeitures or cancellations of awards without delivery of shares or as a result of withholding shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. In February and March 2015, the Board of Directors and the voting stockholder approved the addition of 643,673 shares and 1,081,200 shares, respectively, to the 2010 Plan. In March 2016, the Board of Directors and the voting stockholder approved the addition of 185,026 shares to the 2010 Plan. In March 2016, we granted 961,718 restricted stock unit awards (exclusive of canceled and replaced awards discussed below) to employees which were allocated based on the October 1, 2015 price of $6.17 per share and 130,000 restricted stock awards to non-employee directors with a grant date fair value of $2.96 per share. The awards granted to employees vest on September 30, 2018 subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. As of June 30, 2016, we considered the achievement of these performance targets probable. The awards granted to non-employee directors vest over two years, 50% on September 30, 2016 and 50% on September 30, 2017. We record compensation costs ratably over the requisite service periods for these awards. In connection with the March 2016 grant discussed above, we canceled 720,000 previously issued restricted stock awards that were subject to vesting based on certain stock price levels and had a grant date fair value of $3.4 million and replaced them with 421,394 performance-based restricted stock awards described above. The cancellation and replacement of these awards was treated as a modification with unrecognized compensation cost from the original awards of $1.5 million plus incremental compensation costs resulting from the modification of $0.8 million recognized over the new requisite service period through September 30, 2018.
