Exhibit 99.1
QC Holdings, Inc. Earnings Increase 57% During Third Quarter
Board Declares $0.15 Dividend per Common Share
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 5, 2009--QC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCCO) reported another strong quarter, with income from continuing operations improving 56.7% over prior year’s third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, income from continuing operations improved $4.9 million, or 45.4%, over the prior year period.
“Our third quarter results continued the trends from the first two quarters of the year,” said QC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Don Early. “As the economy searches for its bottom, our customers appear to be looking for more certainty before resuming historical levels of spending. With this reduced spending, we saw our revenue challenges continue, but our loss experience improved as consumers focused on repaying debt.”
Highlights for the third quarter included:
- Income from continuing operations of $4.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in third quarter 2008;
- Revenues of $56.8 million compared to $58.1 million in third quarter 2008;
- A loss ratio of 25.9% for the current quarter, down from 28.4% in last year’s third quarter; and
- Adjusted EBITDA, which is income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, charges related to stock options and restricted stock awards, and non-cash gains or losses associated with property disposition, of $10.7 million, a 10.3% improvement over prior year’s third quarter.
Highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included:
- Income from continuing operations of $15.7 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $10.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the same 2008 period;
- Revenues improved to $163.8 million compared to $163.0 million in the same 2008 period;
- An 8.8% improvement in gross profit over prior year’s nine month period; and
- Adjusted EBITDA of $35.7 million versus $30.6 million during the first nine months of 2008.
The three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 include discontinued operations relating to branches that were closed during each period, partly due to changes in payday loan laws that effectively preclude the product as offered.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, schedules reconciling adjustments to net income pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations, are provided below. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 include ballot referendum expenditures in Arizona and Ohio of approximately $583,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, that were not deductible for income tax purposes. QC believes that it is useful to management and investors to analyze results after adjusting for these items to provide a more comparable basis for evaluating QC’s operating results and financial performance over time. See the reconciliation tables for additional information.
** Third quarter **
Revenues decreased 2.2% quarter-to-quarter, primarily due to reduced payday loan volumes, substantially offset by higher automotive loan volumes (due to an increase in the number of locations). QC originated approximately $300.5 million of payday loans during third quarter 2009, a 9.1% decrease from the $330.5 million during third quarter 2008. This decline is partially attributable to reduced payday volume in Virginia, where the company introduced an open-end credit product in late 2008. During late second quarter 2009, the company re-introduced the payday loan product in Virginia and discontinued the open-end product offering. Installment and automotive loan volumes totaled $11.0 million for third quarter 2009 versus $11.3 million in prior year’s third quarter.
Revenues for comparable branches (those branches that were open for the 15 months since June 30, 2008) decreased 5.6%, or $3.1 million, to $52.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease reflects reduced customer demand across most states.
Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses, decreased to $23.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $24.5 million in the same 2008 quarter. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in overtime compensation and occupancy costs, partially offset by higher cost of sales associated with the company’s automotive sales locations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the company reported a $1.8 million reduction in loan losses to $14.7 million compared to $16.5 million in the same 2008 quarter. The loss ratio for the current quarter totaled 25.9% compared to 28.4% in third quarter 2008. Fewer returned items produced the improvement quarter-to-quarter. This improvement was partially offset by a higher allowance associated with the company’s open-end credit product in Virginia and the developing automotive sales and finance business.
QC’s branch gross profit in third quarter 2009 was $18.8 million, a 9.9% increase over prior year’s quarter. Comparable branches generated $18.0 million in gross profit during third quarter 2009, which was slightly higher than last year’s third quarter due to stronger results in the majority of states.
Regional and corporate expenses totaled $9.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Exclusive of the ballot referendum initiatives in 2008, regional and corporate expenses were $9.0 million in third quarter 2008. The increase in 2009 represents higher performance-based incentive compensation compared to prior year.
Net interest expense decreased to $790,000 in the current quarter compared to $1.1 million in third quarter 2008 as a result of lower average debt balances and reduced interest rates. The company’s effective income tax rate was 38.1% during third quarter 2009. The effective income tax rate in third quarter 2008 was 47.6% due to the non-deductible ballot referendum expenditures in Ohio and Arizona.
“As branch growth has leveled in our industry, maximizing profitability at each branch is a primary goal,” noted QC President and Chief Operating Officer Darrin Andersen. “Over our numerous years of serving this customer base, we have had success in achieving this goal by growing revenue, managing losses and minimizing operating expenses. In the current business cycle, a focus on operating efficiently and reducing losses has provided the most meaningful results.
“Our branch personnel are committed to providing superior service to our customers. This commitment is imperative given the uncertain economic backdrop and the increasing level of competition in the short-term loan market.”
** Nine Months Ended September 30 **
The company’s revenues grew approximately $800,000 to $163.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus 2008 as a result of an increase in automobile loan sales, partially offset by reduced payday loan volume.
Revenues for comparable branches (those branches that were open for the 21 months since December 31, 2007) decreased 4.8% to $149.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 for the same reasons as noted in the quarterly discussion.
Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses, were flat, totaling $70.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, with higher cost of sales for automobile purchases being offset by reduced compensation and occupancy costs. Comparable branches averaged approximately $12,600 per month in operating expenses during 2009 compared to $13,100 per month in prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the company reported loan losses of $35.0 million compared to $38.9 million for the same 2008 period. The company’s loss ratio improved to 21.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (versus 23.9% in the same 2008 period) as a result of fewer returned items and a better collection rate on those returns period-to-period. Through September 30, 2009, the company sold approximately $792,000 of older debt compared to $448,000 in the prior year period.
Branch gross profit increased 8.8% to $58.3 million in 2009 from $53.6 million. Gross profit for comparable branches during 2009 increased by 3.3% to $56.3 million. This increase reflects improvements in most states, partially offset by reduced gross profit in Virginia as the company transitioned to the open-end credit product, and then back to the payday product.
Exclusive of the 2008 referendum expenditures, regional and corporate expenses decreased slightly to $27.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decline reflects reduced governmental affairs and public education expenditures period-to-period, partially offset by higher incentive-based compensation.
Net interest expense declined approximately $629,000 during the current 2009 period compared to prior year due to lower average debt balances and interest rates throughout 2009.
-DIVIDEND DECLARATION -
QC's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share and a special dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable December 2, 2009 to stockholders of record as of November 18, 2009.
-BUSINESS OUTLOOK -
“We are pleased with how 2009 has progressed from a loss management and cost reduction perspective,” Early said. “We continue, however, to experience revenue challenges in most of our states as customer demand has retreated following broader economic fluctuations.
“Consumers are hesitant to return to their historical approach for cashflow management. Conflicting market information, which includes flagging job and employment prospects, clouds the believability of a certain immediate recovery, and until key indicators are more consistently favorable, it is likely that our revenues will be hampered by this uncertainty.
“As we move into the final quarter of 2009, we are well-positioned to manage through these ongoing changes in customer behavior. With a solid earnings foundation, a strong balance sheet and more than 25 years of operating in all types of economic cycles, we look forward to managing the various opportunities and challenges ahead of us.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliations Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands) (Unaudited) |
| | | | |
QC reports adjusted EBITDA (income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, charges related to stock options and restricted stock awards, and non-cash gains or losses
associated with property disposition) as a financial measure that is not defined by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). QC believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance metric for our
investors and is a measure of operating and financial performance that is commonly reported and widely
used by financial and industry analysts, investors and other interested parties because it eliminates
significant non-cash charges to earnings. It is important to note that non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted
EBITDA, should not be considered as alternative indicators of financial performance compared to net
income or other financial statement data presented in the company's consolidated financial statements
prepared pursuant to GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a
substitute for, GAAP financial measures. The following table provides a reconciliation of income from
continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA: |
