Exhibit 99.1
Cash America Reports Second Quarter Earnings up
40 Percent and Declares Dividend
FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2005--Cash America
International, Inc. (NYSE:CSH) announced today that income from
continuing operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 was
up 40% compared to the same period last year. Income from continuing
operations for the 2005 period was $6,900,000 (23 cents per share)
after the effect of a $280,000 after-tax charge from foreign currency
conversion in the quarter equal to 1 cent per share. Prior year income
from continuing operations for the same period of 2004 was $4,926,000
(17 cents per share).
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was up 32% to $133.6
million, from $101.1 million last year. The strong growth in revenue
was generated from a 39% increase in combined service charges and fees
on pawn loans and fees on cash advance products which benefited from
higher outstanding balances and the acquisition of a 41 store chain of
lending locations in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, revenue
from the sale of merchandise in the second quarter was up 26% over the
same period in the prior year. These components led to a 36% increase
in net revenue for the second quarter of 2005 in comparison to the
same period in 2004, as the profit margin on merchandise sold was
higher in the current year second quarter compared to the prior year.
Consolidated same store net revenue was up 10% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2005 over the same period in 2004.
Commenting on the results of the quarter, Daniel R. Feehan,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, "We
enjoyed the benefit of rising levels of lending assets during the
second quarter which led to solid performance in fees and service
charges on loans and cash advances. In addition, we were successful in
improving sales levels from the first quarter and benefited from
higher profit margins on merchandise sold, all of which combined to
contribute to the strong top line quarter. We are beginning to enjoy
the benefits of the 145 lending locations added over the last twelve
months through both start-ups and acquisitions."
For the first six months of fiscal year 2005, Cash America
produced an increase in income from continuing operations of 34% to
$18,802,000 (62 cents per share) compared to $14,068,000 (48 cents per
share) in the same period for the prior year. The increase was
achieved on a 28% increase in total revenue, which reached
$278,558,000 in the first six months of 2005 compared to $218,161,000
in the first six months of the prior year.
Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the second
quarter results on Thursday, July 21st at 3:45 PM CDT. A live web cast
of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the
Company's corporate web site (www.cashamerica.com). To listen to the

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors,
at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.025 (2.5
cents) per share cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The
dividend will be paid to shareholders of record on August 3, 2005, and
will be paid at the close of business on August 17, 2005.
Forward Looking Statements
As management approaches the last half of fiscal year 2005 it
expects the growth in revenue to be largely governed by the growth in
lending assets, particularly pawn loans and short-term cash advances.
Demand for these products is influenced by economic factors which
impact our customers' needs to satisfy immediate capital requirements.
In the current economic environment, the demand for the products has
been strong and management assumes that these trends will continue.
Another factor influencing revenue is regulatory requirements that
could restrict customers from qualifying for certain short-term cash
advances. Management has developed alternative credit services to
assist customers who are unable to qualify for loans from certain
lenders due to more restrictive regulatory requirements. The Company
began offering these credit services in most of its lending locations
affected by this regulatory change early in the third quarter.
Remaining lending locations will be transitioned to different
regulatory oversight or will be reviewed for other potential
alternative products. In management's opinion, these changes will
cause revenue levels in some markets to fall but management
anticipates that this will mostly be mitigated by continued demand in
unaffected markets and the development of new units opened over the
last twelve months. In addition, management expects there to be
transitional expenses related to the implementation of these new
services and programs. Based on the preceding factors, management
expects third quarter income from continuing operations to be between
27 cents and 30 cents per share in 2005 compared to 17 cents per share
last year. Full year 2005 earnings per share from income from
continuing operations are expected to range between $1.45 and $1.50
per share compared to $1.18 per share in fiscal year 2004.
