Cash America Earnings Exceed Expectations in the Second Quarter and Dividend Declared

Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) reported that its net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $16,607,000 (54 cents per share) and that it exceeded the top of its previously released expectations of its earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009. Lower losses on cash advance loans and rising pawn loan demand led to the improvement in earnings compared to expectations. Management had also projected that its earnings in the second quarter of 2009 would be below the prior year primarily due to regulatory changes impacting earnings in certain cash advance markets which contributed significant earnings in the prior year and because many of the Company’s customers would be without the economic stimulus checks issued by the Federal Government in the second quarter of 2008. The second quarter 2008 earnings were $20,137,000 (67 cents per share).

Total revenue during the second quarter of 2009 was $252.4 million, up slightly from $248.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, due to a 25% increase in finance and service charges on pawn loan balances year over year which offset lower levels of cash advance fees compared to the second quarter of 2008. Although revenue from merchandise disposition activities in the second quarter of 2009 achieved a nominal increase over the second quarter of 2008, lower gross profit margins contributed to a slight decrease in consolidated net revenue, which was consistent with expectations.

Commenting on the results of the quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, “The recovery of pawn loan balances during the second quarter contributed to the Company exceeding our initial expectations. In addition, our efforts to moderate bad debt expense through more careful underwriting instituted late in 2008 led to lower losses on loans in our cash advance portfolio through the first half of fiscal 2009. Both of these factors are positive elements as we enter the final six months of 2009. We are also encouraged by increases in loan volume in our storefront cash advance business which has been challenged by lower yields due to regulatory changes in 2008 and 2009. It appears that we will have the opportunity to benefit from sustained loan demand to contribute to a successful second half of the year.”

For the first six months of fiscal year 2009, total revenue increased 4% to $520.5 million compared to $498.9 million for the same period in 2008. Cash America posted net income of $40,518,000 ($1.33 per share) for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 compared to $45,948,000 ($1.53 per share) for the same period in 2008.

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter results on Thursday, July 23, at 7:45 AM CDT. A live web cast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s corporate web site (http://www.cashamerica.com). To listen to the live call, please go to the web site at least fifteen minutes early to register, download, and install any necessary audio software. A replay will be available on the Company’s web site for 90 days following the conference call.

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on August 19, 2009 to shareholders of record on August 5, 2009.

Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2009 and Related Fiscal Year

Management believes that the opportunities for growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with the customer demand for the credit products provided by the Company, which take the form of pawn loans and short-term cash advances, and consumer spending on retail sales of unredeemed collateral. Other elements expected to affect the growth in revenue include the regulatory governance of loan products and the development and growth of new markets for the Company’s online distribution channel for cash advance products, as well as the continued growth of its pawn operations in Mexico. As the Company enters the third quarter of 2009, management anticipates that demand for the Company’s lending products will continue to be strong. Management believes that the revenue challenges facing the cash advance product, including the regulatory changes impacting markets that were profitable in 2008, such as Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota and Ohio, will become less of a factor in year over year comparisons in the second half of the year if loan demand increases for the cash advance product. Based on its views and on the preceding factors management expects the third quarter 2009 net income per share to be between 70 and 75 cents per share compared to 63 cents per share in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, management has decided to modify its full year 2009 estimates to a range of between $3.00 and $3.15 per share, compared to $2.70 per share in fiscal 2008.
