NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Cash America International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the three- and nine-month periods then ended are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Through April 2013, the Company had a contractual relationship with a third party entity, Huminal, S.A. de C.V.,a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Huminal”). The Company qualified as the primary beneficiary of Huminal in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation (“ASC 810”). Therefore, the results and balances of Huminal were consolidated and allocated to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. In May 2013, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding common stock of Huminal to increase its ownership to 100% of Huminal and, as a result, Huminal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of that date. The Company accounted for this transaction as a change in ownership interests that does not result in a change in control.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand in operating locations, deposits in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are principally invested in short-term money market funds.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35,Goodwill—Subsequent Measurement, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of June 30 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for each of the Company’s reporting units that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, which is then compared to the carrying value of that reporting unit to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint. The Company completed its annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2013 and determined that the fair value of its goodwill was in excess of carrying value, and, as a result, no impairment existed at that date.

The Company performed its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of June 30, 2013. The Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), and determined that it was not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired. Therefore, no further quantitative assessment was required.

Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which improves the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items on the consolidated statements of income that compose net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or other comprehensive income. See Note 7 for further discussion.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02.ASU 2012-02 provides companies with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If a company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, it is required to determine the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value in accordance with ASC 350,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. If a company concludes otherwise, no further quantitative assessment is required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, although early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11,Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210) (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires a company to provide enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either presented on a net basis on the balance sheet or are subject to an enforceable master netting or similar arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01,Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities(“ASU 2013-01”), which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 by requiring additional disclosure about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. ASU 2013-01 requires retrospective disclosure for all comparative periods. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013. The Company adopted ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013, and the adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. See Note 13 for further discussion.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11,Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”), which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2013-11 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

2. Acquisitions

Recent Acquisitions

For the acquisitions described below, the Company has made these acquisitions pursuant to its business strategy of expanding storefront operations for its pawn business in the United States. Goodwill arising from these acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the pawn lending locations acquired through these acquisitions in the retail services segments. All goodwill associated with these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition of 41 Pawn Lending Locations in Texas

In August 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of a chain of pawn lending locations in Texas that included 41 operating locations and the rights to one additional Texas pawn lending location (that was under construction but not open for business at the time of the acquisition), all of which were acquired from TDP Superstores Corp. and operate primarily under the name “Top Dollar Pawn.” The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $103.7 million, including consideration for non-competition covenants. The acquisition price was paid in cash and funded by available cash and through the Company’s line of credit. The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition, which were expensed. The activities and goodwill related to this acquisition are included in the results of the Company’s retail services segment.

The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Pawn loans	$	14,468
Merchandise acquired		8,024
Pawn loan fees and service charges receivable		2,094
Property and equipment		4,230
Goodwill		62,335
Intangible assets(a)		14,404
Other assets		383
Other liabilities		(829	)
Customer deposits		(1,365	)
Total consideration paid for acquisition, net of cash acquired	$	103,744

^(a)  Includes $11.9 million related to customer relationships being amortized over seven years and $2.5 million related to a non-competition agreement being amortized over 10 years.

Pending Acquisition of 34 Pawn Lending Locations in Georgia and North Carolina

In August 2013, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of a 34-store chain of pawn lending locations in Georgia and North Carolina (31 locations in Georgia and three locations in North Carolina) owned by PawnMart, Inc. and operating primarily under the PawnMart brand in both markets. The Company estimates the aggregate purchase price of the acquisition to be approximately $62.0 million, including consideration for certain non-competition covenants. The purchase price is expected to be paid in cash and funded through borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The purchase price may be adjusted based on the aggregate value of the pawn loan balance and merchandise inventory balance held by the seller at closing. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, such as the receipt of certain approvals to be obtained by the seller and its parent company, Xponential, Inc., licensing and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. If all conditions are satisfied, the closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013.

3. Credit Quality Information on Pawn Loans

The Company manages its pawn loan portfolio by monitoring the type and adequacy of collateral compared to historical gross profit margins. If a pawn loan defaults, the Company relies on the disposition of pawned property to recover the principal amount of an unpaid pawn loan, plus a yield on the investment, because the Company’s pawn loans are non-recourse against the customer. In addition, the customer’s creditworthiness does not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Generally, forfeited merchandise has historically sold for an amount in excess of the cost of goods sold (which is the lower of cost, or the cost basis in the loan or amount paid for purchased merchandise, or fair value). Goods pledged to secure pawn loans are tangible personal property items such as jewelry, tools, televisions and other electronics, musical instruments and other miscellaneous items. A pawn loan is considered delinquent if the customer does not repay or, where allowed by law, renew or extend the loan on or prior to its contractual maturity date plus any applicable grace period. Pawn loan fees and service charges do not accrue on delinquent pawn loans. When a pawn loan is considered delinquent, any accrued pawn loan fees and service charges are reversed and no additional pawn loan fees and service charges are accrued. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company had current pawn loans outstanding of $245.5 million, $246.0 million and $235.3 million, respectively, and delinquent pawn loans outstanding of $8.2 million, $8.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

Current and Delinquent Consumer Loans

The Company classifies its consumer loans as either current or delinquent. Short-term loans are considered delinquent when payment of an amount due is not made as of the due date. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer misses one payment, that payment is considered delinquent. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer does not make two consecutive payments, the entire account or loan is classified as delinquent. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.

The Company generally does not accrue interest on delinquent consumer loans and does not resume accrual of interest unless a loan is returned to current status. In addition, generally delinquent consumer loans may not be renewed, and if, during its attempt to collect on a delinquent consumer loan, the Company allows additional time for payment through a payment plan or a promise to pay, it is still considered delinquent. All payments received are first applied against accrued but unpaid interest and fees and then against the principal balance of the loan.

Allowance and Liability for Estimated Losses on Consumer Loans

The Company monitors the performance of its consumer loan portfolio and maintains either an allowance or liability for estimated losses on consumer loans (including fees and interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for losses on the Company’s owned consumer loans reduces the outstanding loan balance in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for estimated losses related to loans guaranteed by the Company under its credit services organization programs (“CSO programs”), which approximates the fair value of the liability, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

In determining the allowance or liability for estimated losses on consumer loans, the Company applies a documented systematic methodology. In calculating the allowance or liability for loan losses, outstanding loans are divided into discrete groups of short-term loans, line of credit accounts and installment loans and are analyzed as current or delinquent. Increases in either the allowance or the liability, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as a “Consumer loan loss provision” in the consolidated statements of income.

The allowance or liability for short-term loans classified as current is based on historical loss rates adjusted for recent default trends in current loans. For delinquent short-term loans, the allowance or liability for estimated losses is based on a six-month rolling average of loss rates by stage of collection. For line of credit accounts and installment loan portfolios, the Company uses a migration analysis to estimate losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance or liability calculation under the migration analysis is based on historical charge-off experience and the loss emergence period, which represents the average amount of time between the first occurrence of a loss event to the charge-off of a loan. The factors the Company considers to assess the adequacy of the allowance or liability include past due performance, historical behavior of monthly vintages, underwriting changes and recent trends in delinquency in the migration analysis.

The Company fully reserves and generally charges off consumer loans once the loan or a portion of the loan has been classified as delinquent for 60 consecutive days. If a loan is deemed uncollectible before it is fully reserved, it is charged off at that point. Consumer loans classified as delinquent generally have an age of one to 59 days from the date any portion of the loan became delinquent, as defined above. Recoveries on loans previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.

Guarantees of Consumer Loans

In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans that go into default. Short-term loans that are guaranteed generally have terms of less than 90 days. Secured auto equity loans, which are included in the Company’s installment loan portfolio, that are guaranteed typically have an average term of less than 24 months, with available terms of up to 42 months. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012, the amount of consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $50.1 million, $55.3 million and $64.7 million, respectively, representing amounts due under consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company of $2.8 million, $3.4 million and $3.5 million, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Domestic and Multi-Currency Line of Credit

The Company’s domestic and multi-currency line of credit, which includes the ability to borrow up to $50.0 million in specified foreign currencies or U.S. dollars (the “Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit”), was amended by the Company on May 10, 2013. The primary provisions of the amendment to the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit include an extension of the maturity date from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2018 and a decrease in the total credit available from $380.0 million to $280.0 million, subject to an accordion feature whereby the revolving line of credit may be increased up to an additional $100.0 million with the consent of any increasing lenders. Interest on the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit is charged, at the Company’s option, at either the London Interbank Offered Rate for one-, two-, three- or six-month periods, as selected by the Company for the first interest rate period, and for subsequent interest rate periods, one week or two weeks or one-, two-, three- or six-month periods, as selected by the Company (“LIBOR”), plus a margin varying from 2.00% to 3.25% or at the agent’s base rate plus a margin varying from 0.50% to 1.75%. The margin for the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit is dependent on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratios as defined in the credit agreement entered into in connection with the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit. The Company also pays a fee on the unused portion of the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% (0.38% as of September 30, 2013) based on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratios. The weighted average interest rate (including margin) on the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit was 2.81%, 2.75% and 3.06% as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit consisted of three pricing tranches with maturity dates ranging from one to 31 days, and as of September 30, 2012, borrowings under the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit consisted of three pricing tranches with maturity dates ranging from two to 31 days. The Company routinely refinances borrowings pursuant to the terms of its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit; therefore, these borrowings are reported as part of the applicable line of credit and as long-term debt.

Variable Rate Senior Unsecured Notes

When the Company amended its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, it also extended the maturity date of its $50.0 million variable rate term loan facility (the “2018 Variable Rate Notes”) from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2018. The 2018 Variable Rate Notes are payable in equal quarterly principal installments of $2.1 million with any outstanding principal remaining due at maturity on March 31, 2018. Interest on the 2018 Variable Rate Notes is charged, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR (as defined above) plus a margin of 3.50% or at the agent’s base rate plus a margin of 2.00%. The weighted average interest rate (including margin) on the 2018 Variable Rate Notes was 3.69% for September 30, 2013 and 3.75% as of each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

In connection with the amendment of the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit and the 2018 Variable Rate Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which primarily consisted of commitment fees, legal and other professional expenses. These costs are being amortized over a period of five years and are included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

$300.0 Million 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 15, 2013, the Company issued and sold $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”). The Company offered and sold the 2018 Senior Notes to initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The initial purchasers then resold the 2018 Senior Notes pursuant to the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S. The 2018 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% annually on the principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2013. The 2018 Senior Notes will mature on May 15, 2018. The 2018 Senior Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The 2018 Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes redeemed plus the applicable “make whole” redemption price specified in the Indenture that governs the 2018 Senior Notes (the “2018 Senior Notes Indenture”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, if a change of control occurs, as that term is defined in the 2018 Senior Notes Indenture, the holders of 2018 Senior Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase their 2018 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as of the date of repurchase.

In addition, on May 15, 2013 the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) of the 2018 Senior Notes, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to issue in exchange for the 2018 Senior Notes, on or prior to the 270th day following the closing date of the issuance and sale of the 2018 Senior Notes, identical new notes registered under the Securities Act. In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the 2018 Senior Notes. If the Company does not comply with certain covenants set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, it must pay liquidated damages to holders of the 2018 Senior Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees, legal and other professional expenses. These costs are being amortized over a period of five years and are included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Other

When the Company entered into its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, it also entered into a separate credit agreement for the issuance of up to $20.0 million in letters of credit (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). When the Company amended its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, it also extended the maturity date of its Letter of Credit Facility from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2018. The Company had standby letters of credit of $16.3 million under its Letter of Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013.

The Company’s debt agreements for its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit and its senior unsecured notes require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants or other requirements set forth in its debt agreements.

7. Reclassification out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In accordance with ASU 2013-02, the reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months  Ended September 30, 2013								Nine Months  Ended September 30, 2013

Balance at the end of period	$	2,614		$	—	$	2,614		$	2,614		$	—		$	2,614

^(a)  The gain on marketable securities reclassified out of AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is composed of a $964 gain and income tax expense of $337. The gain and income tax expense are included in “Other revenue” and “Provision for income taxes,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.

8. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time. Performance-based awards are included in diluted shares based on the level of performance that management estimates is the most probable outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition and, if material, adjusts the number of shares included in diluted shares accordingly.

^(c)  The shares issuable with respect to the Company’s senior unsecured convertible notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”) have been calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company intends to settle the principal portion of the convertible debt in cash; therefore, only the shares related to the conversion spread have been included in weighted average diluted shares.

^(d)  There were 25 anti-dilutive shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and no anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

9. Income Taxes

During 2012, the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations that operated under the name Prenda Fácil were owned by Creazione Estilo, S.A. de C.V., a Mexicansociedad anónima de capital variable (“Creazione”). In January 2013, the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations were sold by Creazione to another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, CA Empeños Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., and began operating exclusively under the name “Cash America casa de empeño.” The Company is currently in the process of liquidating the remaining assets of Creazione, which are insignificant. In connection with the liquidation of Creazione, the Company intends to claim a deduction on its 2013 federal income tax return for its tax basis in the stock of Creazione and has recognized an income tax benefit of $33.2 million as a result of the deduction. The Company believes that it meets the requirements for this deduction and that it should be treated as an ordinary loss, which will reduce the Company’s cash taxes paid in 2013, and the Company has obtained a Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to one of the various factors that it considered in making this determination. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded an income tax benefit of $9.3 million and an offsetting valuation allowance associated with the Company’s excess tax basis over its basis for financial purposes in the stock of Creazione. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an additional income tax benefit of $23.9 million associated with its remaining tax basis in the stock of Creazione. In addition, the Company released the valuation allowance recorded in 2012 of $9.3 million and recorded a $33.2 million liability for uncertain tax benefits. Following the receipt of a favorable Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in September of 2013, the Company determined that it met the more-likely-than-not threshold for recording a tax benefit related to the Creazione stock basis deduction and released the $33.2 million liability for uncertain tax benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

During 2013, the statute of limitations expired related to the Mexico tax returns of Creazione for periods before it was acquired by the Company (pre-2008). As a result, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company released reserves established for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million and the related accrued interest and penalties of $1.9 million.

The Company recognized income tax (benefit) expense of ($28.0) million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $25.1 million and $67.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and the effective tax rate of (154.1%) and 9.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, is primarily due to the recognition of the $33.2 million tax benefit associated with the Creazione stock basis deduction and the $1.0 million release of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits related to the Creazione pre-acquisition Mexico tax returns noted above. In addition, the income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by the recognition of a $12.6 million valuation allowance related to the Mexico deferred tax assets of Creazione.

10. Operating Segment Information

The Company has two reportable operating segments: retail services and e-commerce. The retail services segment includes all of the operations of the Company’s Retail Services Division, which is composed of both domestic and foreign storefront locations that offer some or all of the following services: pawn loans, consumer loans, the purchase and sale of merchandise, check cashing and other ancillary services such as money orders, wire transfers, prepaid debit cards, tax filing services and auto insurance. Most of these ancillary services offered in the retail services segment are provided through third-party vendors. The e-commerce segment includes the operations of the Company’s E-Commerce Division, which is composed of the Company’s domestic and foreign online lending channels through which the Company offers consumer loans. In the e-commerce segment, certain administration expenses are allocated between the domestic and foreign components based on the amount of loans written and renewed. The Company reports corporate operations separately from its retail services and e-commerce segment information. Corporate operations primarily include corporate expenses, such as legal, occupancy, executive oversight, insurance and risk management, public and government relations, internal audit, treasury, payroll, compliance and licensing, finance, accounting, tax and information systems (except for online lending systems, which are included in the e-commerce segment). Corporate income includes miscellaneous income not directly attributable to the Company’s segments. Corporate assets primarily include corporate property and equipment, nonqualified savings plan assets, marketable securities, foreign exchange forward contracts and prepaid insurance.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On August 6, 2004, James E. Strong filed a purported class action lawsuit in the State Court of Cobb County, Georgia against Georgia Cash America, Inc., Cash America International, Inc. (together with Georgia Cash America, Inc., “Cash America”), Daniel R. Feehan, and several unnamed officers, directors, owners and “stakeholders” of Cash America. In August 2006, James H. Greene and Mennie Johnson were permitted to join the lawsuit as named plaintiffs, and in June 2009, the court agreed to the removal of James E. Strong as a named plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges many different causes of action, among the most significant of which is that Cash America made illegal short-term loans in Georgia in violation of Georgia’s usury law, the Georgia Industrial Loan Act and Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). First National Bank of Brookings, South Dakota (“FNB”) and Community State Bank of Milbank, South Dakota (“CSB”) for some time made loans to Georgia residents through Cash America’s Georgia operating locations. The complaint in this lawsuit claims that Cash America was the true lender with respect to the loans made to Georgia borrowers and that FNB and CSB’s involvement in the process is “a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

mere subterfuge.” Based on this claim, the suit alleges that Cash America was the “de facto” lender and was illegally operating in Georgia. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, punitive damages and the trebling of any compensatory damages. In November 2009 the case was certified as a class action lawsuit.

This case was scheduled to go to trial in November 2013, but on October 9, 2013, the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding (the “Settlement Memorandum”). Pursuant to the Settlement Memorandum, the parties filed a joint motion containing the full terms of the settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to the trial court for approval on October 24, 2013. The Settlement Agreement requires a minimum payment by the Company of $18.0 million and a maximum payment of $36.0 million, to cover class claims (including honorarium payments to the named plaintiffs) and the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs (including the costs of claims administration) (the “Class Claims and Costs”), all of which will count towards the aggregate payment for purposes of determining whether the minimum payment has been made or the maximum payment has been reached. The actual payout will depend on the number of claimants who submit claims for payment. If the Company does not pay at least $18.0 million towards the Class Claims and Costs, the Settlement Agreement requires the Company to pay, into a cy pres (non-profit) fund approved by the court, an amount equal to $18.0 million less the aggregate amount the Company pays towards the Class Claims and Costs. In accordance with ASC 855-10-55—Subsequent Events andASC-20-50,Contingencies, the Company recognized a liability during the third quarter of 2013 in the amount of $18.0 million, which it deems the most probable payment amount. The Company denies all of the material allegations of the lawsuit and denies any and all liability or wrongdoing in connection with the conduct described in the lawsuit. If the Settlement Agreement is not approved by the court, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.

The Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters are covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

The Company has been advised by the Enforcement Division of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) that it is contemplating an enforcement action against the Company related to the improper preparation of certain court documents in connection with collections lawsuits initiated by the Company in Ohio, which were previously disclosed by the Company and for which it implemented a voluntarily reimbursement program for affected customers at an originally estimated cost to the Company of approximately $13.4 million before taxes, and a limited number of other issues that arose during the CFPB’s 2012 examination. The Company has fully cooperated with the CFPB and continues to do so. Currently, the Company is seeking to negotiate a settlement to resolve all pending issues. The Company anticipates that a settlement will require, among other things, the payment of a civil money penalty and the enhancement of various procedures and controls. There is no certainty that a settlement will be successfully negotiated, or that the consequences of a settlement or an unsettled action will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial position. Based upon the Company’s assessment of the matter in accordance with ASC 450-20-20,Contingencies—Loss Contingencies—Glossary as of the date of filing this report on Form 10-Q, the Company currently expects that the CFPB enforcement action, including any monetary penalties or changes to its business that result from such enforcement action, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations or financial position.

12. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820-10,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820-10”), certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

These marketable securities were sold during the second quarter of 2013. See Note 7 for further discussion.

The Company measures the fair value of its forward currency exchange contracts under Level 2 inputs as defined byASC 820-10. For these forward currency exchange contracts, current market rates are used to determine fair value. The significant inputs used in these models are derived from observable market rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers of assets in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements.

Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates and have maturities of less than 90 days.

Pawn loans generally have maturity periods of less than 90 days. If a pawn loan defaults, the Company disposes of the collateral. Historically, collateral has sold for an amount in excess of the principal amount of the loan.

Consumer loans are carried in the consolidated balance sheet net of the allowance for estimated loan losses, which is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the carrying value of consumer loans include historical loss rates and recent default trends. Consumer loans have relatively short maturity periods that are generally 12 months or less.

Pawn loan fees and service charges receivable are accrued ratably over the term of the loan based on the portion of these pawn loans deemed collectible. The Company uses historical performance data to determine collectability of pawn loan fees and service charges receivable. Additionally, pawn loan fee and service charge rates are determined by regulations and bear no valuation relationship to the capital markets’ interest rate movements.

The Company measures the fair value of long-term debt instruments using Level 2 inputs. The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are estimated based on market values for debt issues with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit had a higher fair market value than the carrying value due to the difference in yield when compared to recent issuances of similar lines of credit. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s senior unsecured notes had a lower fair market value than the carrying value due to the difference in yield when compared to recent issuances of similar senior unsecured notes. As of September 30, 2013, the 2029 Convertible Notes had a higher fair value than carrying value due to the Company’s stock price as of September 30, 2013 exceeding the applicable conversion price for the 2029 Convertible Notes, thereby increasing the value of the instrument for noteholders.

13. Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically uses derivative instruments to manage risk from changes in market conditions that may affect the Company’s financial performance. The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to manage its primary market risks, which are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency risk in the United Kingdom and Australia. The Company’s forward currency exchange contracts are non-designated derivatives. Any gain or loss resulting from these contracts is recorded as income or loss and is included in “Foreign currency transaction gain (loss)” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and certain factors that may affect future results, including economic and industry-wide factors, of Cash America International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

GENERAL

The Company provides specialty financial services to individuals through retail services locations and through electronic distribution platforms known as e-commerce activities.

The Company offers secured non-recourse loans, commonly referred to as pawn loans. Pawn loans are short-term loans (generally 30 to 90 days) made on the pledge of tangible personal property. Pawn loan fees and service charges revenue is generated from the Company’s pawn loan portfolio. A related activity of the pawn lending operations is the disposition of collateral from unredeemed pawn loans and the liquidation of a smaller volume of merchandise purchased directly from customers or from third parties.

The Company originates, guarantees or purchases consumer loans (collectively referred to as “consumer loans” throughout this discussion). Consumer loans provide customers with cash, typically in exchange for an obligation to repay the amount advanced plus fees and any applicable interest. Consumer loans include short-term loans (commonly referred to as payday loans), line of credit accounts and installment loans.

Short-term loans include unsecured short-term loans written by the Company or by a third-party lender through the Company’s credit services organization programs (“CSO programs” as further described below) that the Company guarantees. Line of credit accounts include draws made through the Company’s line of credit products. Installment loans are longer-term multi-payment loans that generally require the pay-down of portions of the outstanding principal balance in multiple installments and include unsecured loans and auto equity loans, which are secured by a customer’s vehicle, that are written by the Company or by a third-party lender through the Company’s CSO programs that the Company guarantees.

Through the Company’s CSO programs, the Company provides services related to a third-party lender’s consumer loan products in some markets by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under the CSO programs include credit-related services such as arranging loans with independent third-party lenders and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”). Under the CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to the third-party lender in the event that the customer defaults on the loan. CSO loans are not included in the Company’s financial statements, but the Company has established a liability for the estimated losses in support of the guarantee on these loans in its consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the Company provides check cashing and other ancillary services through many of its retail services locations and through its franchised check cashing centers. These ancillary services are described below.

The Company has two reportable operating segments: retail services and e-commerce. The retail services segment includes all of the operations of the Company’s Retail Services Division, which is composed of both domestic and foreign storefront locations that offer some or all of the following services: pawn loans, consumer loans, the purchase and sale of merchandise, check cashing and other ancillary services such as money orders, wire transfers, prepaid debit cards, tax filing services and auto insurance. Most of these ancillary services offered in the retail services segment are provided through third-party vendors. The e-commerce segment includes the operations of the Company’s E-Commerce Division, which is composed of the Company’s domestic and foreign online lending channels through which the Company offers consumer loans. The Company reports corporate operations separately from its retail services and e-commerce segment information. Corporate operations primarily include corporate

27

expenses, such as legal, occupancy, executive oversight, insurance and risk management, public and government relations, internal audit, treasury, payroll, compliance and licensing, finance, accounting, tax and information systems (except for online lending systems, which are included in the e-commerce segment). Corporate income includes miscellaneous income not directly attributable to the Company’s segments. Corporate assets primarily include corporate property and equipment, nonqualified savings plan assets, marketable securities, foreign exchange forward contracts and prepaid insurance.

Retail Services Segment

The following table sets forth the number of domestic and foreign Company-owned and franchised locations in the Company’s retail services segment offering pawn lending, consumer lending, and other ancillary services as of September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s domestic retail services locations operate under the names “Cash America Pawn,” “SuperPawn,” “Cash America Payday Advance,” “Cashland” and “Mr. Payroll.” In addition, certain domestic retail services locations acquired in late 2012 and 2013 that operate under various names that are expected to be changed to “Cash America Pawn” during 2013. The Company’s foreign retail services locations operate under the name “Cash America casa de empeño.”

Recent Developments

Acquisition of 41 Pawn Lending Locations in Texas

In August 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of a chain of pawn lending locations in Texas that included 41 operating locations and the rights to one additional Texas pawn lending location (that was under construction but not open for business at the time of the acquisition), all of which were acquired from TDP

28

Superstores Corp. and operate primarily under the name “Top Dollar Pawn.” The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $103.7 million, including consideration for non-competition covenants. The acquisition price was paid in cash and funded by available cash and through the Company’s line of credit. The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition, which were expensed. The activities and goodwill related to this acquisition are included in the results of the Company’s retail services segment.

Pending Acquisition of 34 Pawn Lending Locations in Georgia and North Carolina

In August 2013, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of a 34-store chain of pawn lending locations in Georgia and North Carolina (31 locations in Georgia and three locations in North Carolina) owned by PawnMart, Inc. and operating primarily under the PawnMart brand in both markets. The Company estimates the aggregate purchase price of the acquisition to be approximately $62.0 million, including consideration for certain non-competition covenants. The purchase price is expected to be paid in cash and funded through borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The purchase price may be adjusted based on the aggregate value of the pawn loan balance and merchandise inventory balance held by the seller at closing. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, such as the receipt of certain approvals to be obtained by the seller and its parent company, Xponential, Inc., licensing and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. If all conditions are satisfied, the closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013.

2013 Litigation Settlement

On October 9, 2013, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “Settlement Memorandum”) to settle an outstanding class action lawsuit that has been ongoing since 2004. Pursuant to the Settlement Memorandum, the parties filed a joint motion containing the full terms of the settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to the trial court for approval on October 24, 2013. The Settlement Agreement requires a minimum payment by the Company of $18.0 million and a maximum payment of $36.0 million, to cover class claims (including honorarium payments to the named plaintiffs) and the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs (including the costs of claims administration) (the “Class Claims and Costs”), all of which will count towards the aggregate payment for purposes of determining whether the minimum payment has been made or the maximum payment has been reached. The actual payout will depend on the number of claimants who submit claims for payment. If the Company does not pay at least $18.0 million towards the Class Claims and Costs, the Settlement Agreement requires the Company to pay, into a cy pres (non-profit) fund approved by the court, an amount equal to $18.0 million less the aggregate amount the Company pays towards the Class Claims and Costs. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855-10-55 – Subsequent Events and ASC-20-50,Contingencies, the Company recognized a liability during the third quarter of 2013 in the amount of $18.0 million, which it deems the most probable payment amount. The Company denies all of the material allegations of the lawsuit and denies any and all liability or wrongdoing in connection with the conduct described in the lawsuit, but the Company has agreed to the settlement to eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, burden and expense of further litigation. If the Settlement Agreement is not approved by the trial court, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit. This settlement is collectively referred to as the “2013 Litigation Settlement.” See Note 11 of Part I, “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information regarding this lawsuit.

Income Taxes

During 2012, the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations that operated under the name Prenda Fácil were owned by Creazione Estilo, S.A. de C.V., a Mexicansociedad anónima de capital variable (“Creazione”). In January 2013, the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations were sold by Creazione to another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, CA Empeños Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., and began operating exclusively under the name “Cash America casa de empeño.” The Company is currently in the process of liquidating the remaining assets of Creazione, which are insignificant. In connection with the liquidation of Creazione, the Company intends to claim a deduction on its 2013 federal income tax return for its tax basis in the stock of Creazione and has recognized an income tax benefit of $33.2 million as a result of the deduction (the “Creazione Deduction”). The Company believes that it meets the requirements for this deduction and that it should be treated as an ordinary loss, which will reduce the Company’s cash taxes paid in 2013, and the

Company has obtained a Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to one of the various factors that it considered in making this determination. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded an income tax benefit of $9.3 million and an offsetting valuation allowance associated with the Company’s excess tax basis over its basis for financial purposes in the stock of Creazione. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an additional income tax benefit of $23.9 million associated with its remaining tax basis in the stock of Creazione. Following the receipt of a favorable Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in September of 2013, the Company determined that it met the more-likely-than-not threshold for recording a tax benefit related to the Creazione stock basis deduction and released the $33.2 million liability for uncertain tax benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Closure of Retail Services Locations in Texas that Offer Only Short-term Consumer Loans

As a result of restrictive local City ordinances that have been passed since 2011 that have had the effect of reducing the profitability and the volume of short-term consumer loans the Company offers to customers in Texas and also as a result of a related decline in demand for consumer loans in many of the Company’s Texas retail services locations that offer only this product, the Company decided to close a total of 36 retail services locations. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, eight locations were closed, and the remaining 28 locations are expected to be closed during the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company expects to incur charges of approximately $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 in connection with these closures.

Recent Regulatory Developments

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

The Company has been advised by the Enforcement Division of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) that it is contemplating an enforcement action against the Company related to the improper preparation of certain court documents in connection with collections lawsuits initiated by the Company in Ohio, which were previously disclosed by the Company and for which it implemented a voluntarily reimbursement program for affected customers at an originally estimated cost to the Company of approximately $13.4 million before taxes, and a limited number of other issues that arose during the CFPB’s 2012 examination. The Company has fully cooperated with the CFPB and continues to do so. Currently, the Company is seeking to negotiate a settlement to resolve all pending issues. The Company anticipates that a settlement will require, among other things, the payment of a civil money penalty and the enhancement of various procedures and controls. While there is no certainty that a settlement will be successfully negotiated, or that the consequences of a settlement or an unsettled action will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial position, based upon the Company’s assessment of the matter as of the date of filing this report on Form 10-Q, the Company currently expects that the CFPB enforcement action, including any monetary penalties or changes to its business that result from such enforcement action, will not have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations or financial position.

Financial Conduct Authority

The Company offers consumer loans over the internet in the United Kingdom where it is currently subject to regulation by the Office of Fair Trading (the “OFT”). In December 2012, the U.K. Parliament passed the Financial Services Act of 2012 (the “Act”), which created a new regulatory framework for the supervision and management of the banking and financial services industry in the United Kingdom, including the consumer lending industry in which the Company operates. The Act mandates that the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) take over responsibility for regulating consumer credit from the OFT in April 2014.

On October 3, 2013, the FCA issued a consultation paper on a proposed rulebook of prescriptive regulations that includes more stringent requirements for lenders such as the Company, including mandatory affordability checks on borrowers, limiting the number of rollovers to two, restricting how lenders can advertise and proposing the power to ban advertisements it deems misleading, and introducing a limit of two unsuccessful attempts on the use of continuous payment authority to pay off a loan. If the FCA regulations are adopted as they are currently proposed, the Company would be required to make adjustments to its collections processes, which could possibly result in lower collections on loans made by the Company and a decrease in the number of customers that the Company is able to approve. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of the proposed changes and what effect such changes may have on its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The FCA is expected to publish the finalized rulebook in early 2014, with certain provisions expected to take effect on April 1, 2014 and other provisions, such as the potential limits on rollovers, continuous payment authority and advertising, expected to take effect on July 1, 2014. See “Part II. Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information regarding the regulation in the United Kingdom.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as described below, since December 31, 2012, there have been no changes in critical accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35,Goodwill—Subsequent Measurement, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of June 30 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for each of the Company’s reporting units that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, which is then compared to the carrying value of that reporting unit to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint. The Company completed its annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2013 and determined that the fair value of its goodwill was in excess of carrying value, and, as a result, no impairment existed at that date. Although no goodwill impairment was noted, there can be no assurances that future goodwill impairments will not occur. However, a 10% decrease in the estimated fair values of any of the Company’s reporting units for the June 2013 assessment would not have resulted in a goodwill impairment.

The Company performed its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of June 30, 2013. The Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), and determined that it was not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. Therefore, no further quantitative assessment was required.

OVERVIEW

Consolidated Net Revenue

Consolidated net revenue is composed of total revenue less cost of disposed merchandise and consumer loan loss provision. Net revenue is the income available to satisfy all remaining expenses and is the measure management uses to evaluate top-line performance.

The following tables show the components of net revenue for the current quarter and prior year quarter for the Company’s retail services and e-commerce segments, for the Company’s corporate operations and on a consolidated basis (dollars in thousands):

For the current quarter, consolidated net revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 0.6%, to $247.0 million from $248.5 million for the prior year quarter. Pawn-related net revenue accounted for 47.3% and 49.5% of total consolidated net revenue for the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. Pawn-related net revenue decreased $6.2 million, to $116.9 million during the current quarter from $123.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in pawn-related net revenue was primarily attributable to lower commercial sales and a decrease in gross profit margin on the disposition of merchandise.

Consumer loan net revenue accounted for 51.8% and 48.6% of total consolidated net revenue for the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. Consumer loan net revenue increased $7.1 million, to $127.9 million during the current quarter, mainly due to an increase in consumer loan fees that resulted from an increase in consumer loan balances in the e-commerce segment, partially offset by an increase in the loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “current nine-month period”), consolidated net revenue increased $24.8 million, or 3.4%, to $763.7 million from $738.9 million for the same period in 2012 (the “prior year nine-month period”). Consumer loan net revenue accounted for 50.9% and 45.9% of total consolidated net revenue for the current nine-month period and prior year nine-month period, respectively. Consumer loan net revenue increased $48.8 million, to $388.4 million during the current nine-month period, mainly due to an increase in consumer loan fees that resulted from an increase in consumer loan balances in the e-commerce segment and a decrease in the loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees in the e-commerce segment.

Pawn-related net revenue accounted for 47.9% and 52.6% of consolidated net revenue for the current nine-month period and prior year nine-month period, respectively. Pawn-related net revenue decreased $22.9 million, to $365.5 million during the current nine-month period from $388.4 million in the prior year nine-month period. The decrease in pawn-related net revenue was primarily attributable to lower commercial sales and a decrease in gross profit margin on the disposition of merchandise.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company provides historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of the Company’s operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the Company’s GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

34

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below, especially the adjustments related to the Creazione Deduction, the 2013 Litigation Settlement, the Mexico Reorganization and the Enova IPO, are useful to investors in order to allow them to more clearly compare the Company’s financial results for the current quarter and current nine-month period with the prior year quarter and the prior year nine-month period, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 between net income attributable to the Company and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, respectively, which are shown net of tax (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Adjusted EBITDA

The table below shows adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that the Company defines as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, equity in earnings or loss of unconsolidated subsidiary and provision for income taxes and including the net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and its capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess the Company’s liquidity and estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below, especially the adjustments related to the 2013 Litigation Settlement, the withdrawn Enova IPO, the Mexico Reorganization, and the voluntary reimbursements to Ohio customers (the “Ohio Reimbursements”) are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the current and prior year trailing 12 months. The computation of adjusted EBITDA as presented below may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (dollars in thousands):

Pawn Loan Fees and Service Charges

Consolidated pawn loan balances as of September 30, 2013 were $253.7 million, which was $0.4 million lower than the balances as of September 30, 2012, primarily due to the reduction in business activities in the Company’s foreign pawn operations in 2012 as a result of the Mexico Reorganization and lower levels of seasonal growth in the domestic pawn operations, partially offset by an increase in pawn loan balances from acquisitions in the Company’s domestic pawn operations.

Domestic Pawn Loan Balances

The average balance of domestic pawn loans outstanding during the current quarter increased by $9.8 million, or 4.2%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the addition of 46 domestic retail services locations, net of closures, through organic growth and acquisitions since the prior year quarter. The increase was partially offset by lower average pawn loan balances in same-store domestic retail services locations, which decreased 4.4% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower demand for pawn loans.

Domestic pawn loan fees and service charges increased $4.3 million, or 5.9%, to $77.5 million in the current quarter from $73.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average domestic pawn loan balance and slightly higher annualized pawn loan yields during the current quarter. The increase in yield was primarily due to a greater mix of pawn loans in markets with higher statutory lending rates on pawn loans, mainly due to the addition of new domestic retail services locations acquired in late 2012.

Foreign Pawn Loan Balances

Pawn loan balances in foreign locations as of September 30, 2013 were $5.3 million, which was $7.6 million, or 59.0%, lower than as of September 30, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the net closure of 148 pawn lending locations in 2012 as part of the Mexico Reorganization. Consequently, foreign pawn loan fees and service charges decreased $1.5 million, or 46.3%, to $1.8 million in the current quarter from $3.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Proceeds from Disposition of Merchandise

Profit from the disposition of merchandise represents the proceeds received from the disposition of merchandise in excess of the cost of disposed merchandise, which is the Company’s cost basis in the pawn loan or the amount paid for purchased merchandise. The following table summarizes the proceeds from the disposition of merchandise and the related profit for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013									2012
	Retail			Commercial			Total			Retail			Commercial			Total
Proceeds from disposition	$	94,169		$	34,491		$	128,660		$	81,947		$	71,546		$	153,493
Gross profit on disposition	$	33,452		$	4,107		$	37,559		$	30,023		$	16,552		$	46,575
Gross profit margin		35.5	%		11.9	%		29.2	%		36.6	%		23.1	%		30.3	%
Percentage of total gross profit		89.1	%		10.9	%		100.0	%		64.5	%		35.5	%		100.0	%

As the table above indicates, the Company is placing a greater emphasis on retail disposition of merchandise in its retail services locations and de-emphasizing the dispositions of commercial merchandise due to lower market prices for pure gold. Management expects this trend to continue and will focus on the aggregate profit on the disposition of merchandise. This shift is expected to result in higher levels of merchandise available for disposition and a decrease in inventory turnover ratio as more goods will be available for sale in retail services locations.

The total proceeds from disposition of merchandise decreased $24.8 million, or 16.2%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Total gross profit from the disposition of merchandise decreased $9.0 million, or 19.4%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The consolidated merchandise turnover decreased to 2.1 times during the current quarter compared to 2.7 times in the prior year quarter,

38

primarily due to management’s decision to emphasize retail disposition activity rather than the Company’s recent practice of disposing of merchandise through commercial sales. Commercial merchandise typically has a higher turnover rate than retail merchandise.

Proceeds from retail dispositions of merchandise increased $12.2 million, or 14.9%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Proceeds from retail dispositions in domestic retail operations increased $15.0 million, primarily due to management’s emphasis on retail disposition activity and the addition of retail services locations through organic growth and acquisitions. Offsetting this increase was a $2.8 million decrease in retail sales proceeds from foreign retail operations, mainly due to the closure of pawn lending locations in Mexico as part of the Mexico Reorganization.

Consolidated gross profit from retail dispositions increased to 89.1% of total gross profit compared to 64.5% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the shift to emphasize more retail disposition activity. Consolidated gross profit from retail dispositions increased $3.4 million, composed of a $4.3 million increase from domestic operations, offset by a decrease of $0.9 million from foreign operations. The consolidated gross profit margin on the retail disposition of merchandise decreased to 35.5% in the current quarter compared to 36.6% in the prior year quarter, mainly due to the discounting of merchandise prices to encourage retail sales activity.

Proceeds from commercial dispositions decreased $37.1 million, or 51.8%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Proceeds from commercial dispositions at domestic operations decreased by $31.7 million, primarily due to a decrease in the volume of gold sold, mainly due to a shift to place a greater emphasis on retail disposition activity, a decrease in the market price of gold sold and fewer jewelry forfeitures of collateral and jewelry purchases directly from customers. Foreign operations contributed $5.4 million of the decrease, primarily due to the closure of pawn lending locations in Mexico as part of the Mexico Reorganization. Consolidated gross profit from commercial dispositions decreased $12.4 million, mainly due to lower gross profit in domestic operations and the factors noted above. The decrease in consolidated gross profit was mainly due to the decrease in the volume of gold sold as a result of fewer jewelry forfeitures of collateral and jewelry purchased directly from customers and lower market price per ounce of gold sold, which led to a lower gross profit margin. The consolidated gross profit margin on commercial sales decreased to 11.9% in the current quarter compared to 23.1% in the prior year quarter.

In future quarters, management expects the ratio of commercial sales to total sales to remain consistent with current levels as part of the Company’s initiative to increase retail sales of jewelry in its retail services locations. Management expects to experience lower levels of gross profit margin on retail dispositions, particularly in some categories such as consumer electronics, which could reduce retail gross profit margins in future periods. Management also expects gross profit margin on commercial dispositions to be slightly lower than current levels in future periods, mainly due to lower prevailing market prices for gold compared to the prior year. The combination of these factors are expected to lead to lower overall gross profit margin in future periods.

The table below summarizes the age of merchandise held for disposition related to the Company’s pawn lending operations before valuation allowance of $0.9 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Consumer Loan Activities

Consumer Loan Fees

Consumer loan fees increased $22.5 million, or 11.0%, to $227.6 million in the current quarter compared to $205.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in consumer loan fees is primarily due to growth in consumer loan balances in the e-commerce segment, with domestic e-commerce operations contributing $15.6 million and foreign e-commerce operations contributing $8.8 million of the consolidated increase. Offsetting the increase from the e-commerce segment was a $1.9 million decrease in consumer loan fees in the retail services segment, primarily due to a decrease in consumer loan demand in the Company’s retail services locations.

Consumer loan fees from the foreign component of the e-commerce segment were 47.0% of consumer loan fees for the e-commerce segment and 40.9% of consolidated consumer loan fees in the current quarter, compared to 48.6% of consumer loan fees for the e-commerce segment and 41.1% of consolidated consumer loan fees in the prior year quarter.

Consumer Loan Loss Provision

The consumer loan loss provision increased by $15.4 million, or 18.3%, to $99.7 million in the current quarter from $84.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the growth and the composition of the consumer loan portfolio in the Company’s domestic and foreign e-commerce operations. The loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees increased to 43.8% in the current quarter compared to 41.1% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a greater mix of installment loans and line of credit accounts, which carry higher loss provision as a percentage of related fees than short-term loans.

Management expects that future loss rates will continue to be influenced by the mix of short-term, line of credit and installment loan products in the Company’s domestic and foreign operations because of the higher loss provision for line of credit accounts and installment loans as a percentage of fees and management’s emphasis on these products. The installment loan portfolio has a higher average loan amount relative to the other consumer loan products, and both line of credit accounts and installment loans have lower yields relative to other consumer loan products. These factors contributed to higher loan loss provision as a percentage of fees for the current quarter. Management expects the loss provision as a percentage of fees will continue to be higher for line of credit accounts and installment loans in future periods.

The following table sets forth consumer loan fees by segment, adjusted for the deduction of the consumer loan loss provision for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (dollars in thousands):

Combined Consumer Loans

In addition to reporting consumer loans owned by the Company and consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP, the Company has provided combined consumer loans, which is a non-GAAP measure. In addition, the Company has reported consumer loans written and renewed, which is statistical data that is not included in the Company’s financial statements. The Company also reports allowances and liabilities for estimated losses on consumer loans individually and on a combined basis, which are GAAP measures that are included in the Company’s financial statements.

Management believes these measures, including ratios calculated using these measures, provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential loan losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the consumer loan portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management believes the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the residual amount on the Company’s balance sheet since both revenue and the consumer loan loss provision are impacted by the aggregate amount of loans owned by the Company and those guaranteed by the Company as reflected in its financial statements.

Consumer Loan Balances

The outstanding combined portfolio balance of consumer loans, net of allowances and liability for estimated losses, increased $66.8 million, or 21.7%, to $375.5 million as of September 30, 2013 from $308.7 million as of September 30, 2012, primarily due to increased demand for the line of credit and installment loan products from the e-commerce segment in both domestic and foreign markets, partially offset by a decrease in short-term loans in the retail services and e-commerce segments.

The combined consumer loan balance includes $418.2 million and $336.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of Company-owned consumer loan balances before the allowance for losses of $90.0 million and $79.2 million provided in the consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The combined consumer loan balance also includes $50.1 million and $55.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of consumer loan balances that are guaranteed by the Company, which are not included in the Company’s financial statements, before the liability for estimated losses of $2.8 million and $3.4 million provided in the consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The consumer loan balances guaranteed by the Company represent loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO programs, so these balances are not recorded in the Company’s financial statements. However, the Company has established a liability for estimated losses in support of its guarantee of these loans, which is reflected in the table above and included in its consolidated balance sheets.

^(b)  Except for allowance and liability for estimated losses, amounts represent non-GAAP measures.

^(c)  Non-GAAP measure.

Consumer Loans Written and Renewed

The amount of combined consumer loans written and renewed was $898.7 million in the current quarter, an increase of $15.0 million, or 1.7%, from $883.7 million in the prior year quarter. The Company is experiencing a slower rate of growth in consumer loans written than historically reported, as a greater percentage of consumer loans are comprised of installment loans and line of credit balances. Management believes that consumer loans written is less meaningful than the increase in the balances of consumer loans outstanding, which will produce revenue going forward.

References throughout this discussion to renewed consumer loans include both renewals and extensions made by customers to their existing loans as discussed below. Where permitted by law and as long as a loan is not considered delinquent, a customer may choose to renew a short-term loan or installment loan or extend the due date on a short-term loan. In order to renew or extend a short-term loan, a customer must agree to pay the current finance charge for the right to make a later payment of the outstanding principal balance plus an additional finance charge. In some instances, customers agree to repay a new short-term loan in two or three payments, and in these cases the Company considers the obligation to make the first payment a new loan and the obligation to make the second and

42

third payments renewals or extensions of that loan because the customer pays the finance charge due at the time of each payment, similar to a loan that has been renewed or extended. In order to renew an installment loan, the customer enters into a new installment loan contract and agrees to pay the principal balance and finance charge in accordance with the terms of the new loan contract.

The average amount per consumer loan is calculated as the total amount of combined consumer loans written and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined consumer loans written and renewed for the period. The following table shows the average amount per consumer loan by product for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter:

^(a)  The disclosure regarding the average amount per consumer loan is statistical data that is not included in the Company’s financial statements.

The average amount per consumer loan decreased to $516 from $532 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to a decrease in the average amount per short-term loans as well as growth in the line of credit account portfolio. Line of credit accounts typically have a lower average loan amount than short-term loans or installment loans.

Consumer Loans Written to New and Existing Customers in the E-commerce Segment

For its e-commerce segment, the Company measures the amount and number of consumer loans written and renewed that are Company-owned or guaranteed by the Company, as well as the mix between transactions with new customers and existing customers with whom it has a previous relationship. The amount and number of loans written to new customers reflect the Company’s ability to acquire customers through its marketing programs and by providing new products, in addition to its ability to enter new markets. The amount and number of loans written to existing customers reflect the Company’s ability to retain its customer base through high levels of customer service and customer satisfaction with the products offered by the Company. Loans written to existing customers include both loans with customers who have borrowed from the Company’s e-commerce segment before, either in the current year or in prior years (including customers who may have borrowed through different consumer loan products or brands offered by the e-commerce segment), and loan renewals.

Consumer Loan Loss Experience

The Company monitors the performance of its consumer loan portfolio and maintains either an allowance or liability for estimated losses on consumer loans (including fees and interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for losses on the Company’s owned consumer loans reduces the outstanding loan balance in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for estimated losses related to loans guaranteed by the Company under its CSO programs, which approximates the fair value of the liability, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

The combined allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined consumer loans and fees receivable decreased as of the end of the current quarter to 19.8% from 21.1% for the prior year quarter, primarily due to improved performance of the consumer loan portfolios, partially related to the maturing of newer product offerings, such as installment loans and line of credit accounts, to include a higher percentage of customers with established payment histories in the e-commerce segment. New customers tend to have a higher risk of default than customers with a history of successfully repaying loans.

The consumer loan loss provision in the current quarter was $99.7 million, which was composed of $99.9 million related to Company-owned consumer loans, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease related to loans guaranteed by the Company through the CSO programs. The consumer loan loss provision in the prior year quarter was $84.3 million, which was composed of $83.7 million related to Company-owned consumer loans and $0.6 million related to loans guaranteed by the Company through the CSO programs. Consolidated charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $89.8 million and $75.0 million in the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively.

Due to the nature of the short-term loan product and the high velocity of loans written and renewed, seasonal trends are evidenced in quarter-to-quarter performance. In the typical business cycle, and as evidenced in the table below, the combined short-term loan loss provision as a percentage of combined short-term loans written and renewed is usually lowest in the first quarter and increases throughout the year, with the final two quarters generally combining for the peak levels of loss provision expense.

Management evaluates losses as a percentage of consumer loans written for short-term loans to determine credit quality and evaluate trends. The following table shows the Company’s loss experience relative to the volume of short-term loans for each of the last five quarters (dollars in thousands):

Management evaluates losses as a percentage of average consumer loan balances for installment loans and line of credit accounts to determine credit quality and evaluate trends. The tables below show that there is a normal quarterly seasonal trend in the combined consumer loan loss provision as a percentage of average consumer loan balance, which is typically lower in the first quarter and increases through the remainder of the year, peaking in the fourth quarter. Losses as a percentage of consumer loan fees are higher for line of credit accounts and the installment loan product

46

because the loss provision is incurred upon loan origination, with earnings achieved in later periods. In addition, installment loans typically have a higher average amount per loan. As a result, particularly in periods of high growth in installment loan and line of credit account balances, the consumer loan loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees will be higher for these products than for the Company’s other consumer loan products. Another factor contributing to the higher rate of losses as a percentage of fees for the line of credit accounts and installment portfolios is that the loan yield for line of credit accounts and installment loans is typically lower than other consumer loan products offered by the Company.

The following tables show the Company’s loss experience relative to the average balance of line of credit accounts and installment loans, respectively for each of the last five quarters (dollars in thousands):

Consolidated total expenses increased $10.2 million, or 4.9%, to $218.5 million in the current quarter compared to $208.3 million in the prior year quarter. Total expenses for the retail services segment increased $5.5 million, or 4.7%, to $124.7 million during the current quarter compared to $119.2 million in the prior year quarter. Total expenses for the e-commerce segment increased $6.5 million, or 9.7%, to $74.4 million in the current quarter.

Operations and Administration Expenses

Operations and administration expenses for the retail services segment increased $15.0 million, or 15.1%, to $114.1 million during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to the accrual of $18.0 million in the current quarter for the 2013 Litigation Settlement, which is included in other expenses. See “Recent Developments—2013 Litigation Settlement.” This increase in other expenses was partially offset by lower costs from foreign retail services locations due to the closure of locations in 2012 in connection with the Mexico Reorganization, decreased collection costs as a result of a decrease in loans written and lower processing charges that are related to the disposition of commercial merchandise. Personnel expenses for the retail services segment increased $1.5 million, or 2.9%, primarily due to the addition of retail services locations and personnel through organic growth and acquisitions, partially offset by the reduction in business activities in the Company’s foreign pawn operations in 2012 as a result of the Mexico Reorganization. Occupancy expenses, which include rent, property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, increased $1.1 million, or 4.0%, primarily due to normal rent increases, organic growth and the locations acquired during 2012 and 2013. During the prior year quarter, the retail services segment operations expenses included $3.0 million related to the Mexico Reorganization.

Operations and administration expenses for the e-commerce segment increased $6.0 million, or 9.3%, to $70.4 million during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses of $6.4 million, or 21.4%, to $36.5 million in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, mainly as a result of the Company’s efforts to expand its customer base in both domestic and foreign markets. Marketing expenses consist of online marketing costs, such as sponsored search and advertising on social networking sites, and other marketing costs such as television, radio and print advertising. In addition, marketing expenses include lead purchase costs paid to marketers in exchange for providing leads to potential customers interested in using the Company’s services. The prior year quarter includes $3.1 million of expenses related to the withdrawal of the Enova IPO in the e-commerce segment.

48

Corporate administration expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 13.9%, to $15.2 million in the current quarter, primarily due to lower short term incentives compared to the prior year quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $8.3 million, or 30.6%, primarily due to a decrease in these expenses in the retail services segment. Depreciation and amortization expenses at the retail services segment decreased $9.4 million, or 47.0%, to $10.6 million, primarily due to the reduction in assets in the prior year quarter due to the Mexico Reorganization, partially offset by acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in 2013. Depreciation and amortization expenses at the e-commerce segment increased $0.6 million, or 17.1%, to $4.0 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses for corporate operations increased $0.6 million, or 15.5%, to $4.2 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 28.7%, to $9.3 million in the current quarter as compared to $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, the average amount of debt outstanding increased $109.2 million, to $632.5 million from $523.3 million during the prior year quarter, primarily due to pawn-related acquisitions that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2012 and 2013. In addition, the Company issued $300.0 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”) in May 2013. Following the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes, the Company fully repaid the outstanding indebtedness under its domestic and multi-currency line of credit (the “Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit”), which was at a lower effective interest rate than the 2018 Senior Notes and had excess cash on its balance sheet. The Company’s effective blended borrowing cost increased to 5.8% in the current quarter compared to 4.8% in the prior year quarter. Management expects that the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes will result in an increase in the Company’s effective blended borrowing cost for the remainder of 2013 as compared to 2012.

Income Taxes

In the current quarter, the Company recorded a tax credit that resulted in an effective tax rate of 154.1% compared to 76.0% for the prior year quarter, primarily due to the recognized income tax benefit of $33.2 million associated with the Creazione Deduction. For additional information see “Recent Developments—Income Taxes”. In addition, during 2013 the statute of limitations expired related to the pre-2008 Mexico tax returns of Creazione, and as a result, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company released reserves established for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million. In addition, in the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $12.6 million valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets of Creazione. Without the impact of these items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 34.2% and 37.8% for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate of 37.8% for the prior year was negatively impacted by significant losses in the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations, which were taxed at a lower rate than the domestic operations.

Net Loss Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest

The Company had a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $3.8 million for the prior year quarter with no corresponding amount in the current quarter. As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations were owned by Creazione. Prior to September 26, 2012, the Company owned 80% of the outstanding stock of Creazione. On September 26, 2012, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Creazione that were held by minority shareholders (approximately 20% of the outstanding shares), and, as a result, Creazione became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of that date. The purchase of this minority interest in Creazione was the primary reason for the decrease in net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest. The Company intends to liquidate the remaining assets of Creazione, which are insignificant, in 2013.

Through April 2013, the Company had a contractual relationship with a third party entity, Huminal, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Huminal”). The Company qualified as the primary beneficiary of Huminal in accordance ASC 810,Consolidation (“ASC 810”). Therefore, the results and balances of

49

Huminal were consolidated and allocated to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. In May 2013, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding common stock of Huminal to increase its ownership to 100% of Huminal and, as a result, Huminal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of that date. The Company accounted for this transaction as a change in ownership interests that does not result in a change in control.

Pawn Loan Fees and Service Charges

The average consolidated balance of pawn loans outstanding during the current nine-month period decreased by $1.4 million compared to the prior year nine-month period.

Domestic Pawn Loan Balances

The average balance of domestic pawn loans outstanding during the current nine-month period increased by $7.6 million, or 3.4%, compared to the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to an increase in the loan balances as a result of the addition of 46 domestic retail services locations, net of closures, through organic growth and acquisitions since the prior year nine-month period. The increase was partially offset by lower average pawn loan balances in same-store domestic retail services locations, which decreased 3.3% in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to lower demand for pawn loans.

51

Domestic pawn loan fees and service charges increased $11.7 million, or 5.6%, to $222.5 million in the current nine-month period from $210.8 million in the prior year nine-month period. The increase is primarily due to higher average domestic pawn loan balances and higher annualized pawn loan yields during the current nine-month period. The increase in average pawn loan balances is primarily due to organic growth and acquisitions in the Company’s domestic pawn operations. The increase in annualized yield was primarily due to a greater mix of pawn loans in markets with higher statutory lending rates on pawn loans.

Foreign Pawn Loan Balances

The average balance of foreign pawn loans outstanding during the current nine-month period decreased by $8.9 million, or 64.5%, compared to the prior year nine-month period. The substantial decrease was mainly due to the net closure of 148 pawn lending locations in 2012 as part of the Mexico Reorganization. Consequently, foreign pawn loan fees and service charges decreased $5.2 million, or 49.0%, to $5.4 million in the current nine-month period from $10.6 million in the prior year nine-month period.

Proceeds from Disposition of Merchandise

The following table summarizes the proceeds from the disposition of merchandise and the related profit for the current nine-month period and the prior year nine-month period (dollars in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013									2012
	Retail			Commercial			Total			Retail			Commercial			Total
Proceeds from disposition	$	296,415		$	142,494		$	438,909		$	277,602		$	240,230		$	517,832
Gross profit on disposition	$	108,827		$	28,685		$	137,512		$	103,470		$	63,484		$	166,954
Gross profit margin		36.7	%		20.1	%		31.3	%		37.3	%		26.4	%		32.2	%
Percentage of total gross profit		79.1	%		20.9	%		100.0	%		62.0	%		38.0	%		100.0	%

The total proceeds from disposition of merchandise decreased $78.9 million, or 15.2%, in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Total gross profit from the disposition of merchandise decreased $29.4 million, or 17.6%, during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. The overall gross profit margin percentage decreased to 31.3% in the current nine-month period compared to 32.2% in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin on commercial sales. The consolidated merchandise turnover decreased to 2.5 times during the current nine-month period compared to 3.0 times in the prior year nine-month period, which is due to management’s decision to emphasize retail dispositions. Commercial merchandise typically has a higher turnover rate than retail merchandise.

Proceeds from retail dispositions of merchandise increased $18.8 million, or 6.8%, during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Proceeds from retail dispositions in domestic retail operations increased $24.5 million, primarily due to management’s emphasis on retail disposition activity and the addition of retail services locations through organic growth and acquisitions. Offsetting this increase was a $5.7 million decrease in retail sales proceeds from foreign retail operations, mainly due to the closure of pawn lending locations in Mexico as part of the Mexico Reorganization. Consolidated gross profit from retail dispositions increased to 79.1% of total gross profit compared to 62.0% in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to the shift to emphasize more retail disposition activity. Consolidated gross profit from retail dispositions increased $5.4 million, composed of a $6.9 million increase from domestic operations, offset by a $1.5 million decrease from foreign operations.

Proceeds from commercial dispositions decreased $97.7 million, or 40.7%, during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Proceeds from commercial dispositions from domestic operations decreased by $80.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in the volume of gold sold, mainly due to the shift to place a greater emphasis on retail disposition activity, a decrease in the market price of gold sold and fewer jewelry forfeitures of collateral and jewelry purchased directly from customers. Foreign operations contributed $17.3 million of the

52

decrease, primarily due to the closure of pawn lending locations in Mexico as part of the Mexico Reorganization. Consolidated gross profit from commercial dispositions decreased $34.8 million, mainly due to lower gross profit in domestic operations. The decrease in consolidated gross profit was mainly due to the factors noted above, which also led to a lower gross profit margin. The consolidated gross profit margin on commercial sales decreased to 20.1% in the current nine-month period compared to 26.4% in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to the lower market value of gold sold.

Consumer Loan Activities

Consumer Loan Fees

Consumer loan fees increased $81.5 million, or 14.6%, to $640.2 million in the current nine-month period compared to $558.7 million in the prior year nine-month period. The increase in consumer loan fees was primarily due to growth in consumer loans written and renewed in the e-commerce segment, with domestic e-commerce operations contributing $50.8 million and foreign e-commerce operations contributing $35.6 million of the consolidated increase. Offsetting the increase from the e-commerce segment was a $4.9 million decrease in consumer loan fees in the retail services segment, primarily due to a decrease in consumer loan demand in the Company’s retail services locations.

Consumer loan fees from the foreign component of the e-commerce segment were 49.1% of consumer loan fees for the e-commerce segment and 42.6% of consolidated consumer loan fees in the current nine-month period, compared to 50.5% of consumer loan fees for the e-commerce segment and 42.4% of consolidated consumer loan fees in the prior year nine-month period.

Consumer Loan Loss Provision

The consumer loan loss provision increased $32.7 million, or 14.9%, to $251.8 million in the current nine-month period from $219.1 million in the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to the growth and the composition of the consumer loan portfolio in the Company’s domestic and foreign e-commerce operations. The loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees remained relatively flat at 39.3% in the current nine-month period compared to 39.2% in the prior year nine-month period.

The following table sets forth consumer loan fees by segment adjusted for the deduction of the loan loss provision for the current and the prior year nine-month periods (dollars in thousands):

Combined Consumer Loans

Consumer Loans Written and Renewed

The amount of combined consumer loans written and renewed was $2.56 billion in the current nine-month period, an increase of $75.8 million, or 3.1%, from $2.48 billion in the prior year nine-month period, mainly due to an increase in demand for line of credit accounts and installment loan products in domestic and foreign markets in the e-commerce segment.

The average amount per consumer loan is calculated as the total amount of combined consumer loans written and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined consumer loans written and renewed for the period. The following table shows the average amount per consumer loan by product for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period:

^(a)  The disclosure regarding the average amount per consumer loan is statistical data that is not included in the Company’s financial statements.

The average amount per consumer loan increased to $525 from $523 during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, mainly due to a greater mix of longer-term multi-payment installment loans in the current nine-month period, which typically have a higher average loan amount than short-term loans.

Consolidated total expenses increased $36.0 million, or 6.3%, to $608.4 million in the current nine-month period compared to $572.4 million in the prior year nine-month period. Total expenses for the retail services segment decreased $0.9 million to $330.6 million during the current nine-month period compared to $331.5 million in the prior year nine-month period. Total expenses for the e-commerce segment increased $36.3 million, or 20.4%, to $214.1 million in the current nine-month period.

Operations and Administration Expenses

Operations and administration expenses for the retail services segment increased $6.9 million, or 2.3%, to $301.4 million during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. The increase was primarily due to the accrual of $18.0 million in the current nine-month period for the 2013 Litigation Settlement, which is included in other expenses. See “Recent Developments—2013 Litigation Settlement.” This increase in other expenses was partially offset by lower costs as a result of the Mexico Reorganization, decreased collection costs as a result of a decrease in loans written, lower processing charges related to the disposition of commercial merchandise and lower underwriting costs related to a decrease in loans written in the current nine-month period. Personnel expenses for the retail services segment decreased $3.8 million, or 2.3%, primarily due to lower short-term incentives and the reduction in business activities in the Company’s foreign pawn operations in 2012 as a result of the Mexico Reorganization, partially offset by the addition of retail services locations and personnel through organic growth and acquisitions. Occupancy expenses, which include rent, property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, increased $2.9 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to normal rent increases, organic growth and the locations acquired during 2012 and 2013. During the prior year nine-month period, the retail services segment operations expenses included $3.0 million related to the Mexico Reorganization.

Operations and administration expenses for the e-commerce segment increased $32.6 million, or 19.3%, to $201.1 million during the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period. Personnel expenses increased $10.9 million, or 18.8%, primarily due to incentive accruals due to the strong performance of the e-commerce segment and the addition of new personnel to support the e-commerce segment’s growth. Marketing expenses increased $17.7 million, or 23.0%, to $94.6 million in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to the Company’s efforts to expand its customer base in both domestic and foreign markets. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increased software maintenance expenses and an increase in loan underwriting and processing expenses. The prior year nine-month period included $3.1 million of expenses related to the withdrawal of the Enova IPO in the e-commerce segment.

58

Corporate administration expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 1.8%, to $51.5 million in the current nine-month period, primarily due to a decrease in other expenses related to an abandoned acquisition opportunity in the prior year nine-month period.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to a decrease in these expenses in the retail services segment. Depreciation and amortization expenses in the retail services segment decreased $7.8 million, or 21.1%, to $29.2 million, primarily due to the reduction in assets in the prior year nine-month period due to the Mexico Reorganization, partially offset by acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and in 2013. Depreciation and amortization expenses at the e-commerce segment increased $3.7 million, or 39.9%, to $13.0 million, primarily due to increased costs in the e-commerce segment mainly as a result of increased capitalized software and equipment to support this segment’s growth and the acceleration of depreciation related to the phase-out of certain loan platforms in the current nine-month period. Depreciation and amortization expenses for corporate operations increased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, to $12.2 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $4.5 million, or 21.6%, to $25.6 million in the current nine-month period as compared to $21.1 million in the prior year nine-month period. During the current nine-month period, the average amount of debt outstanding increased $71.1 million, to $565.5 million from $494.4 million during the prior year nine-month period, primarily due to pawn-related acquisitions that occurred during the fourth quarters of 2012 and in 2013. In addition, the Company issued the 2018 Senior Notes in May 2013. Following the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes, the Company decreased the outstanding indebtedness under its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, which was at a lower effective interest rate than the 2018 Senior Notes. As a result, the Company’s effective blended borrowing cost increased to 5.5% in the current nine-month period compared to 4.9% in the prior year nine-month period. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was $0.3 million of debt extinguishment costs in the current nine-month period related to amendments to the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit and its $50.0 million variable rate term loan facility (the “2018 Variable Rate Notes”).

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 9.9% in the current nine-month period compared to 46.5% in the prior year nine-month period. The decrease in the overall effective tax rate in the current nine-month period was primarily due to the recognized income tax benefit of $33.2 million associated with the Creazione Deduction. For additional information see “Recent Developments—Income Taxes”. In addition, during 2013 the statute of limitations expired related to the pre-2008 Mexico tax returns of Creazione and as a result, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company released reserves established for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million. In addition, in the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $12.6 million valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets of Creazione. Without the impact of these items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 36.6% and 37.8% for the current nine-month period and the prior year nine-month period, respectively. The effective tax rate of 37.8% for the prior year was negatively impacted by significant losses in the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations, which were taxed at a lower rate than the domestic operations.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest

Net (income) loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest improved by $5.6 million from the prior year nine-month period from a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $5.3 million in the prior year nine-month period to net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $0.3 million for the current year nine-month period, primarily due to the Company’s purchase of the outstanding shares held by minority shareholders in Creazione in September 2012.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $75.5 million, or 21.1%, from $357.8 million in the prior year nine-month period to $433.3 million in the current nine-month period. The significant components of the increase in net cash provided by operating activities included a $37.9 million increase in net income, a $32.7 million increase in the consumer loan loss provision, a non-cash expense, primarily as a result of growth in the e-commerce segment, and a $19.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, mainly due to an $18.0 million accrual related to the 2013 Litigation Settlement.

Management believes that its expected cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating liquidity needs.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $81.3 million, or 21.9%, from $371.7 million in the prior year nine-month period to $453.0 million in the current nine-month period. During the current nine-month period, the Company used $104.7 million for acquisitions, which was $47.7 million greater than the prior year nine-month period. Also contributing to the increase in cash used was a $39.7 million increase in cash used for consumer loan activities, primarily as a result of growth in loans written from the Company’s e-commerce segment. In addition, cash used by pawn lending activities increased by $17.9 million, primarily as a result of an increase in merchandise available for disposition in retail services locations, mainly due to lower cash received from sales of forfeited merchandise through commercial channels, offset by a decrease in loans written in foreign retail services operations as a result of the Mexico Reorganization during the third and fourth quarters of 2012. Offsetting these increases in the use of cash was a $15.6 million decrease in purchases of property and equipment, primarily due to lower systems development costs in both of the Company’s segments, and a $6.6 million increase in cash from proceeds received from the sale of marketable securities during the current nine-month period.

60

In August 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of a chain of pawn lending locations in Texas that included 41 operating locations and the rights to one additional Texas pawn lending location (that was under construction but not open for business at the time of the acquisition), all of which were acquired from TDP Superstores Corp. and operate primarily under the name “Top Dollar Pawn.” The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $103.7 million, including consideration for non-competition covenants. The acquisition price was paid in cash and funded by available cash and through the Company’s line of credit. The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition, which were expensed. The activities and goodwill related to this acquisition are included in the results of the Company’s retail services segment.

Management anticipates that expenditures for property and equipment related to its domestic and foreign operations for the remainder of 2013 will be between $15 million and $25 million, excluding acquisitions, primarily for the remodeling of stores, facility upgrades, technology infrastructure and for the establishment of approximately five new retail services locations.

In August 2013, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of a 34-store chain of pawn lending locations in Georgia and North Carolina (31 locations in Georgia and three locations in North Carolina) owned by PawnMart, Inc. and operating primarily under the PawnMart brand in both markets. The Company estimates the aggregate purchase price of the acquisition to be approximately $62.0 million, including consideration for certain non-competition covenants. The purchase price is expected to be paid in cash and funded through borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The purchase price may be adjusted based on the aggregate value of the pawn loan balance and merchandise inventory balance held by the seller at closing. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, such as the receipt of certain approvals to be obtained by the seller and its parent company, Xponential, Inc., licensing and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. If all conditions are satisfied, the closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $13.4 million, or 51.2%, from $26.2 million in the prior year nine-month period to $39.6 million in the current nine-month period. The increase was primarily due to the issuance and sale of $300.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes, which is discussed in greater detail below. Offsetting this source of cash was a $209.9 million increase in cash used in the current nine-month period for payments of outstanding balances under the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, for other existing indebtedness, including debt extinguishment costs of $6.1 million of the 2029 Convertible Notes, and for debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes and the amendments to the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit.

Additionally, the Company used $27.6 million more in the current nine-month period than in the prior year nine-month period for repurchases of shares of Company common stock through open market transactions pursuant to a 2013 authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors. For the nine-month period the Company has repurchased $45.4 million of the Company’s common shares, primarily through open market purchases. See “Share Repurchases” section below for additional information.

On May 15, 2013, the Company issued and sold the 2018 Senior Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million. The Company offered and sold the 2018 Senior Notes to initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The initial purchasers then resold the 2018 Senior Notes pursuant to the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S. The 2018 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year on the principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2013. The 2018 Senior Notes will mature on May 15, 2018. The 2018 Senior Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. The 2018 Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

61

In addition, on May 10, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the terms of its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit. The primary provisions of the amendment to the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit include an extension of the maturity date from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2018 and a decrease in the total credit available from $380.0 million to $280.0 million, subject to an accordion feature whereby the revolving line of credit may be increased up to an additional $100.0 million with the consent of any increasing lenders. When the Company amended its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, it also extended the maturity date of its 2018 Variable Rate Notes and its letter of credit facility (each of which were entered into originally on the same date as the Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit) from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2018.

The Company’s debt agreements require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its debt agreements. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s available borrowings under its Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit were $159.8 million. Management believes that the borrowings available under the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line of Credit, anticipated cash generated from operations and current working capital of $820.3 million is sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital requirements for its business. Should the Company experience a significant decline in demand for the Company’s products and services or other unexpected changes in financial condition, management would evaluate several alternatives to ensure that it is in a position to meet liquidity requirements. The Company’s strategies to generate additional liquidity may include the sale of assets, reductions in capital spending, changes to the issuance of debt or equity securities and/or its management of its current assets. The characteristics of the Company’s current assets, specifically the ability to rapidly liquidate gold jewelry inventory and adjust outflows of cash in its lending practices, gives the Company flexibility to quickly modify its business strategy to increase cash flow from its business, if necessary.

The Company had standby letters of credit of $16.3 million issued under its $20.0 million letter of credit facility as of September 30, 2013.

Share Repurchases

On January 24, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a new share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of its common stock and cancelled the Company’s previous share repurchase authorization from January 2011. During the current nine-month period, the Company purchased 906,700 shares in open market transactions under this authorization for a total investment of $43.9 million, including commissions. Management anticipates that it will periodically purchase shares under this authorization based on its assessment of market characteristics, the liquidity position of the Company and alternative prospects for the investment of capital to expand the business and pursue strategic objectives.

Shelf Registration Statement

On August 24, 2012, the Company filed an automatic Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“the Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which permits the Company or its selling securityholders to offer from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, units, and subscription rights as described in the accompanying prospectus. Pursuant to Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act, the Shelf Registration Statement became effective automatically upon filing with the SEC. Management believes the Shelf Registration Statement will provide the Company with additional flexibility with regard to potential financings that it may undertake when market conditions permit or the Company’s financial condition may require.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In certain markets, the Company arranges for consumers to obtain consumer loan products from one of several independent third-party lenders through the CSO programs. For consumer loan products originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. The Company in turn is responsible for assessing whether or not the Company will guarantee such loans. When a consumer executes an

62

agreement with the Company under the CSO programs, the Company agrees, for a fee payable to the Company by the consumer, to provide certain services to the consumer, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans if they go into default. Short-term loans that are guaranteed generally have terms of less than 90 days. Secured auto equity loans, which are included in the Company’s installment loan portfolio, that are guaranteed typically have an average term of less than 24 months, with available terms of up to 42 months. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the gross amount of active consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs were $50.1 million and $55.3 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by the Company. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $2.8 million and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and gold prices. The Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposure to market risks since December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent or detect all possible misstatements due to error or fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below and on Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed on May 8, 2013 and incorporated herein by reference, there have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Significant changes in foreign laws or regulations or a deterioration of the political, regulatory or economic environment of Mexico, Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom could affect the Company’s operations in these countries.

Significant changes in foreign laws or regulations or a deterioration of the political, regulatory or economic environment of Mexico, Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom could restrict the Company’s ability to sustain or expand its operations in these countries, which could materially adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition and could impair its ability to continue operations in these countries.

In Mexico, restrictions and regulations affecting pawn services, including licensing restrictions, disclosure requirements and limits on interest rates have been and likely will in the future be proposed from time to time. The Company also maintains business relationships with third-party service providers. The failure of key service providers to fulfill their obligations as a result of regulatory, political, economic or other factors could disrupt the Company’s operations in Mexico. The Company’s business in Mexico is also subject to other potential risks and uncertainties that are beyond its control, such as violence, social unrest, enforcement of property rights and public safety and security, which could restrict or eliminate its ability to operate some or all of its locations in Mexico or significantly reduce customer traffic or demand.

In addition, the Company offers consumer loans over the Internet to customers in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom and Australia have recently increased regulation of our industry and have demonstrated an increasing interest in considering legislation or regulations that could further regulate or restrict the consumer loan products offered by the Company.

In Australia, the Company must comply with the responsible lending guidelines under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (2010), which has been recently amended. The amendment includes limitations on permissible fees charged on certain consumer loans, including consumer loans made by the Company. The Company recently altered the products it offers in Australia. The Company is still assessing the impact that the changes will have on the business in Australia, but expects the product offering will be less profitable. If the reduction in profitability is such that the Company’s product offering is not sustainable, the Company may need to exit Australia if the product cannot be further modified in a way that retains its profitability in that country.

In the United Kingdom, the Company must comply with the European Union Consumer Credit Directive, the Irresponsible Lending Guidance of the Office of Fair Trading (the “OFT”), and the Consumer Credit Act of 1974 that was amended by the Consumer Credit Act of 2006 (the “CCA”), among other rules and regulations. In February 2012, the OFT announced that it had launched a review of the payday lending sector to assess the sector’s compliance with the CCA, the Irresponsible Lending Guidelines and other relevant guidance and legal obligations. As part of this review, the OFT conducted examinations of a number of U.K. payday lenders, including the Company, to assess individual company compliance with these laws and guidelines. The OFT has announced that these inspections will be used to assess a licensee’s fitness to hold a consumer credit license and could result in formal enforcement action, including potential license revocation or significant fines or penalties where appropriate.

The OFT announced the findings of its review of the payday lending sector’s compliance during the first quarter of 2013 and enumerated a number of expectations it has for payday lenders related to affordability assessments, rollover practices, advertising, debt collection practices and consumer disclosures, among other expectations. Since that time, the OFT has been contacting the larger U.K. payday lenders to communicate the findings of its industry review and to conduct individual company examinations. On May 3, 2013, the OFT sent the Company a letter of findings related to its examination of the Company’s U.K. payday lending business. In that letter, the OFT indicated that the Company may not be complying fully with all aspects of the Irresponsible Lending Guidelines, the CCA and other relevant laws and guidance. This letter indicated the OFT’s general and specific concerns in the following categories: advertising and marketing, pre-contract information and explanations, affordability assessments, rollovers, including deferred refinance and extended loans, forbearance and debt collection, and regulatory and other compliance issues. The OFT asked the Company to provide an independent audit of its compliance in relation to each concern identified in the letter by July 29, 2013. The Company believes it has addressed the concerns identified by the OFT, and the Company has provided this audit to the OFT by the required date. This audit is intended to evidencehow the Company has rectified the areas of concern identified by the OFT. Based upon its response to the OFT, the Company does not expect any of the changes that it has implemented in its business to have a material adverse effect on its future operations and financial condition. However, the Company can provide no assurance as to whether it will successfully resolve the concerns expressed by the OFT or whether, in addressing these concerns, the Company will need to change its business processes or payday lending products in the United Kingdom in a manner that could materially adversely affect the Company’s future operations and financial condition.

In addition, in June 2013, the OFT referred the payday lending industry in the United Kingdom to the Competition Commission for review. The Competition Commission has begun gathering data from industry participants, including the Company, in connection with its review of the U.K. payday lending industry to determine whether certain features of the payday lending industry prevent, restrict or distort competition and, if so, what remedial action should be taken. The Competition Commission is required to complete its report by June 26, 2015, although it has stated that it aims to complete the investigation in a shorter period. If the investigation finds remedial action is necessary, the Competition Commission will decide whether to order such remedial action itself or whether it should recommend certain actions or remedies be taken by the industry regulator, which will be the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”).

In December 2012, the U.K. Parliament passed the Financial Services Act of 2012 (the “Act”), which created a new regulatory framework for the supervision and management of the banking and financial services industry in the United Kingdom, including the consumer lending industry in which the Company operates. The Act mandates that the FCA take over responsibility for regulating consumer credit from the OFT in April 2014. Certain provisions of the Act took effect on April 1, 2013, and other provisions of the Act will take effect on April 1, 2014. The Act makes changes to the CCA and the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 (the “FSMA”), and gives the OFT the power to suspend consumer credit licenses with immediate effect or from a date specified. During the period of transition of regulatory responsibility over consumer credit from the OFT to the FCA, the OFT has continued and will continue to fully and rigorously regulate consumer credit, including the short-term loan market.

It appears that when the FCA takes over responsibility, it will regulate consumer credit pursuant to the guidance of the FSMA, which includes prescriptive regulations that currently govern the secured credit market while carrying across many of the standards set out in the CCA and its secondary legislation as well as OFT guidance. Prescriptive regulations, as contrasted with principles-based regulations that currently regulate the lending process in the United Kingdom, define what a lender may and may not do with a specific product, similar to U.S. law. On October 3, 2013, the FCA issued a consultation paper on a proposed rulebook of prescriptive regulations that includes more stringent requirements for lenders such as the Company, including mandatory affordability checks on borrowers, limiting the number of rollovers to two, restricting how lenders can advertise and proposing the power to ban advertisements it deems misleading, and introducing a limit of two unsuccessful attempts on the use of continuous payment authority to pay off a loan. If the FCA regulations are adopted as they are currently proposed, the Company would be required to make adjustments to its collections processes, which could possibly result in lower collections on loans it makes and a decrease in the number of customers that the Company is able to approve. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of the proposed changes and what effect such changes may have on its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The FCA is expected to publish the finalized rulebook in early 2014, with certain provisions expected to take effect on April 1, 2014 and other provisions, such as the potential limits on rollovers, continuous payment authority and advertising, expected to take effect on July 1, 2014. If prescriptive regulations are adopted by the FCA, the Company expects that its compliance costs will be increased.

Any of these regulatory changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial conditions and could impair its ability to continue current operations in the United Kingdom.

An inability to disburse consumer loan proceeds or collect consumer loan payments through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) system would materially adversely affect the Company’s consumer loan business.

When making consumer loans, the Company’s online consumer loan business uses the ACH system to deposit loan proceeds into its customers’ bank accounts, and both its online and storefront consumer loan businesses, including loans made through the CSO programs, depend on the ACH system to collect amounts due to the Company by withdrawing funds from its customers’ bank accounts when it has obtained written authorization to do so from its customers. The Company’s ACH transactions are processed by banks, and if these banks cease to provide ACH processing services to the Company, it would have to materially alter, or possibly discontinue, some or all of its consumer loan business if alternative ACH processors are not available.

It has been reported that recent actions by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Justice Department”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and certain state regulators appear to be intended to discourage banks and ACH payment processors from providing access to the ACH system for certain short-term consumer loan (or payday loan) providers that they believe are operating illegally, cutting off their access to the ACH system to either debit or credit customer accounts (or both). According to published reports, the Justice Department has issued subpoenas to banks and payment processors, and the FDIC and other regulators are said to be using bank oversight examinations to discourage banks from providing access to the ACH system to certain online lenders. Recently, the Department of Financial Services of the State of New York (the “NY DFS”) sent letters to approximately 35 online short-term consumer loan companies (that did not include the Company as it does not offer consumer loans in New York) demanding that they cease and desist offering illegal payday loans to New York consumers and also sent letters to over 100 banks, as well as the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) (which oversees the ACH network), requesting that they work with the NY DFS to cut off ACH system access to New York customer accounts for illegal payday lenders. NACHA, in turn, has requested that its participants review origination activity for these 35 online short-term consumer loan companies and to advise NACHA whether it has terminated these lenders’ access to the ACH system or, if not, the basis for not doing so. NACHA also requested that participants review ACH origination activities related to other online loan companies and to terminate any ACH system access that would violate NACHA rules, which would include, according to NACHA, any authorizations to use the ACH system to pay illegal loans that are unenforceable under state law. Maryland’s Division of Financial Regulation has also been reported to have taken steps to stop banks in Maryland from processing illegal payday loans in its state, and the California Department of Business Oversight similarly directed state-licensed banks and credit unions to monitor transactions with any unlicensed lenders.

This heightened regulatory scrutiny by the Justice Department, the FDIC and other regulators has the potential to cause banks and ACH payment processors to cease doing business with consumer lenders who are operating legally, without regards to whether that lender is complying with applicable laws, simply to avoid the risk of heightened scrutiny or even litigation. There can be no assurance that our access to the ACH system will not be impaired as a result of this heightened scrutiny, and if this access is impaired, our consumer loan business will be materially adversely affected and we may find it difficult or impossible to continue some or all of our consumer loan business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, and results of operations and financial condition.

Certain tax positions taken by the Company require the judgment of management and could be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service.

Management’s judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, the deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. Management’s judgment is also required in evaluating whether tax benefits meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition under ASC 740-10-25,Income Taxes. For example, in connection with the liquidation of the Company’s subsidiary that formerly owned and operated its

64

Mexico-based pawn operations, Creazione Estilo, S.A. de C.V.,a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Creazione”), the Company intends to claim a deduction on its 2013 federal income tax return for its tax basis in the stock of Creazione and has recognized a tax benefit of approximately $33.2 million as a result of the deduction. Management believes that the Company meets the requirements for this deduction and that it should be treated as an ordinary loss, which will reduce the Company’s cash taxes paid in 2013, and the Company has obtained a Private Letter Ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to one of the various factors that it considered in making this determination. Because there are a number of factors that must be considered in making this determination, some of which were not specifically addressed in the Private Letter Ruling, the Internal Revenue Service could challenge the availability and/or characterization of the loss. If the deduction is ultimately denied or is determined to be a capital loss by the IRS, the Company may be required to reverse the previously recognized tax benefit and may be required to make additional income tax payments.
