Exhibit 99.1
Cash America Reports Third Quarter Earnings up 33% and Declares Dividend
FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2005--Cash America
International, Inc. (NYSE:CSH) announced today that income from
continuing operations rose 33% in the third quarter ended September
30, 2005, compared to the same period last year. Income from
continuing operations was $9,563,000 (32 cents per share) for the
three-month period in 2005 compared to $7,181,000 (24 cents per share)
for the same period in 2004. Included in the 2005 period is a gain
from the settlement of an insurance claim filed in 2004 of $265,000
after taxes, about 1 cent per share. The third quarter results of
income from continuing operations exceeded the Company's published
earnings per share guidance of 27 to 30 cents per share as well as
analysts' published estimates for the quarter. Prior year net income
for the third quarter of 2004 was $23,664,000, which included an
after-tax gain from the sale of the Company's European lending
business in 2004 of $14,689,000 and income attributable to those
businesses of $1,794,000 which added 56 cents per share in the third
quarter of 2004.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2005 increased 31% to
$144.8 million from $110.5 million in the same period last year, as
all components of the Company's revenue were higher in the period.
Fees and service charges from combined lending activities were up 39%
to $76.4 million as higher pawn loan and cash advance balances
produced improved revenue levels. Merchandise sales rose 23% to $66.0
million in the quarter and increased gross profit margins on
merchandise sales drove the Company's total net revenue up 35% to
$103.9 million in the 2005 quarter compared to $76.9 million in 2004.
While the current quarter's increase in net revenue is partly due to
the late year 2004 acquisition of a 41 store lending business, same
store net revenue increased 14% in the current year third quarter
compared to the prior year quarter.
Commenting on the results of the quarter, Daniel R. Feehan,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, "We
continued to experience strong demand for our loan products in the
third quarter which allowed us to build on the positive momentum
initiated during the second quarter. As a result, we were successful
posting results above our expectations in the current quarter and we
are positioned well for the final three months of fiscal 2005."
For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, Cash America reported a
33% increase in income from continuing operations to $28,365,000 (94
cents per share) compared to $21,249,000 (72 cents per share) in the
prior year. Total revenue for the year to date period ended September
30, 2005 was up 29% to $423.3 million compared to $328.7 million for
the same period last year.
Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the third
quarter results on Thursday, October 20 at 3:45 p.m. CDT. A live
webcast 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 live call, please go to the web site at least fifteen
minutes early to register, download, and install any necessary audio
software. A replay will be available on the Company's web site for 90
days following the conference call.
Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors,
at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.025 (2.5
cents) per share cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The
dividend will be paid to shareholders of record on November 2, 2005,
and will be paid at the close of business on November 16, 2005.
Outlook for the Fourth Quarter and 2006
As management approaches the final three months of fiscal year
2005 it expects the growth in revenue to be largely governed by the
growth in lending assets. Demand for the loan products and credit
services offered by the Company is influenced by economic factors
which impact customer needs to satisfy immediate capital requirements.
In the current economic environment the demand for the products and
services has been strong and management assumes that these trends will
continue through the end of the year. Another factor influencing
revenue is regulatory requirements that could restrict customers from
qualifying for short-term cash advances. Management began offering
alternative services in the third quarter to assist customers who are
unable to qualify for loans from certain lenders due to more
restrictive regulatory requirements. In addition, the Company
transitioned to new regulatory oversight in other markets where the
alternative products could not be provided. In management's opinion,
these changes will cause revenue levels in some markets to fall and
cause loss rates to rise but management anticipates that this will
mostly be mitigated by continued demand in unaffected markets and the
development of new units added over the last twelve months. Based on
the preceding factors, management expects that the fourth quarter
income from continuing operations will be between 51 cents and 56
cents per share in 2005 compared to 46 cents per share last year. Full
year 2005 earnings per share from income from continuing operations is
expected to range between $1.45 and $1.50 compared to $1.18 per share
in fiscal 2004.
Expectations for fiscal 2006 are largely a function of anticipated
2005 year-end levels of lending assets and the outlook for the
magnitude of personal income tax refunds for many of the Company's
customers. Tax refund proceeds may be used to pay current and past due
cash advance obligations, redeem pawned merchandise and purchase
merchandise at the Company's pawn locations. As many of these factors
are difficult to estimate at this time, management places its initial
estimated range of earnings from continuing operations for the full
fiscal year of 2006 at between $1.70 and $1.80.
