Exhibit 99.1
Cash America Reports Third Quarter Results and Declares Dividend
FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 23, 2008--Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) announced today that net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $18,925,000 (63 cents per share) after incurring a variety of one time and unusual items during the quarter which lowered reported net income. The third quarter 2008 net income was reduced by $2.0 million in non-recurring costs related to the Company’s contribution to support the cash advance industry’s efforts in an election referendum in Ohio and a ballot initiative in Arizona plus nearly $1.0 million in lost revenue due to the interruption of normal store activities as a result of Hurricane Ike. These two events combined reduced earnings per share by approximately 9 cents in the third quarter of 2008 leading to 63 cents per share in reported earnings rather than 72 cents per share.
The Company’s reported net income for the third quarter of 2008 of $18,925,000 was up 14% compared to $16,560,000 (55 cents per share) during the same period in 2007, which excludes a pre-tax gain of $6.3 million (13 cents per share after taxes) from the Company’s sale of its notes receivable and related minority ownership position in an overseas pawn lending business, Svensk Pantbelåning. Including the gain in the third quarter of 2007, the Company reported net income of $20,616,000 (68 cents per share).
Total revenue increased 9% during the third quarter 2008 to $252.2 million, up from $231.5 million during the same period in 2007. Contributing to the rise in total revenue was a 14% increase in total fees and service charges from pawn loans and an increase of 15% in the proceeds from the sale of merchandise during the quarter. Consolidated income from operations rose 18% to $36.2 million on the strength of the gains in total revenue and from lower losses on cash advance loans. Loan losses as a percent of cash advance fees decreased to 42.5% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 45.7% in the third quarter of 2007.
For the first nine months of fiscal year 2008, Cash America produced a 32% increase in net income to $64,873,000 ($2.16 per share) compared to $49,003,000 ($1.61 per share) excluding one-time gains in 2007. Total revenue increased 12% to $751.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 from $668.3 million for the same period in 2007 and operating income increased 33% to $116,557,000 for the same year-over-year periods.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “While earnings in the third quarter were reduced by non-recurring items, we are pleased with the growth in net income and the strong business metrics present in our business as we prepare for the fourth quarter. Pawn loan balances are up 16% year-over-year and merchandise levels are well suited for the next two quarters of traditionally heavy retail activity. Our online distribution platform for cash advances continues to grow at a steady rate offering capital solutions to our customers in need of short-term credit alternatives.”
Cash America will conduct a conference call to discuss its third quarter earnings Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 7:45 AM CDT. A live web cast of the call will be available on the Company’s corporate web site in the Investor Relations section (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.
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 November 19, 2008 to shareholders of record on November 5, 2008.
Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of 2008 and 2009 Fiscal Year
Expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2008 will be impacted by earning asset levels based on customer demand for credit products and by customer demand for the sale of merchandise in pawn locations. The fourth quarter represents an important period of retail sales for the Company, and results will be affected by consumer sentiments during the period. In addition, the Company has deemphasized cash advance lending in the states of Pennsylvania and Minnesota as a result of expected regulatory changes in the economics of cash advance products in those states in early 2009 and late 2008, respectively. Cash America will incur additional expenses associated with the Ohio and Arizona election activities in the fourth quarter of 2008 and has adjusted its fourth quarter loan products for a negative result in the Ohio election. Based on its views and expectations related to the preceding factors management expects that the fourth quarter 2008 net income per share will be between 91 and 95 cents per share compared to 88 cents per share in the fourth quarter 2007. Therefore, management’s expectation for the full year 2008 earnings per share will be between $3.07 and $3.11 compared to $2.48 per share in fiscal 2007. The 2007 full year results exclude the pre-tax gain of $6.3 million (13 cents per share after taxes) in the third quarter 2007.
In addition, management is initiating its preliminary expectations for fiscal year 2009 with the perspective that certain markets for its cash advance product, specifically Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Florida and Ohio, which were all profitable in 2008 will either be unavailable, or will be available only at significantly reduced economics, in the coming year. Management believes that some of this decrease in cash advance fees will be offset by continued success in its pawn lending activities. Based on its current views of the coming year, management establishes its initial anticipated range of earnings per share of $3.35 to $3.55 for fiscal 2009. Management expects that the first two quarters of 2009 are likely to produce lower earnings per share than 2008 due to the anticipated absence of certain markets for its cash advance product and the expectation that the tax stimulus program distributions made in the second quarter of 2008 will not be repeated.
The preceding expectations of the Company’s potential earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008 and fiscal year 2009 do not include the Company’s announced intention to complete an acquisition of a large chain of pawn locations based in Mexico City.
