Exhibit 99.1

Cash America First Quarter EPS Increases 15% and Declares Dividend

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2012--Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) announced today that earnings per share increased 15% as net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 rose to $41,467,000 ($1.30 per share) compared to net income of $36,378,000 ($1.13 per share) for the same period in 2011. Earnings per share for the first three months of 2012 is above the consensus of published analyst estimates of $1.19 per share and is at the high end of the range of published analyst estimates of between $1.15 and $1.30 per share. The Company’s outlook for earnings expectations has not been updated since July 21, 2011 due to the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary that comprises its e-commerce segment, Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), on September 15, 2011 for the proposed offering of Enova’s common stock in an initial public offering. The results for the first quarter exceeded the consensus of published analysts’ expectations due to higher overall revenue, primarily related to domestic pawn lending activities and growth in the international operations of the Company’s e-commerce segment.

Consolidated total revenue increased 25% to $457.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $364.9 million in the same period in 2011. Contributing to the growth in consolidated total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was a 22% increase in proceeds from the disposition of merchandise and a 15% increase in pawn loan fees and service charges attributable to the Company’s U.S. pawn lending business during the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2011. The Company’s e-commerce segment generated a 47% increase in total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011, due primarily to the 91% growth in revenue attributable to its foreign operations during the quarter compared to the same period in 2011.

Consolidated net revenue increased 19% to $256.8 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared $216.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. Consolidated net revenue, which represents total revenue less the cost of disposed merchandise and the loss provision for consumer loans, benefited from a sequential increase in gross profit margin on the sale of merchandise from the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and a sequential decrease in the loan loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees from the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Gross profit margin on the disposition of merchandise increased sequentially from 32.6% to 33.6% from the three months ended December 31, 2011 to the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and losses as a percentage of consumer loan fees decreased from 44.7% to 36.1% over the same periods, respectively. These improved metrics contributed to the Company’s reported results exceeding analyst expectations for the first quarter of 2012 as it posted a 15% increase in operating income from the retail services segment and a 33% increase in operating income from the e-commerce segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, “The business activities in the first quarter of 2012 started out as we expected with continued strong seasonal growth in short term loan demand as we began the year, followed by a healthy increase in retail sales later in the quarter. Sustained demand for pawn loans led to a 14% year-over-year increase in our U.S. pawn loan balances as of March 31, 2012, and consumer loan balances continue to grow as both U.S. and foreign lending activities contributed to over a 50% increase in combined gross balances.”

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter results on Thursday, April 26 at 7:00 AM 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 live call, please go to the web site at least fifteen minutes prior to the call to register, download, and install any necessary audio software.


Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share cash dividend on common shares outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on May 23, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 9, 2012.

The Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was filed on September 15, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed initial public offering of Enova common stock by the Company and Enova has not yet become effective, which restricts the Company from issuing earnings guidance for the 2012 second quarter and year ending 2012 at this time.

In addition to providing consumer loans owned by the Company and consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which are either generally accepted accounting principles (“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 provided disclosure regarding consumer loans written, which is statistical data that is not included in the Company’s financial statements. The Company also provides allowances and liabilities for losses on consumer loans on a combined basis, which are GAAP measures.

Management believes 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. 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 loss provision for loans are impacted by the aggregate amount of loans owned by the Company and those guaranteed by the Company as reflected in its financial statements.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with 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, 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.


CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

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. The following table provides a reconciliation 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 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Change in Presentation of Operating Segments

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed the presentation of its operating segment information to report corporate operations separately from its retail services and e-commerce segment information. Corporate administrative expense, which was previously allocated to each segment based on personnel expense, is included under the “Corporate” heading in the following tables. For comparison purposes, operations and administration expenses for prior years have been conformed to the current presentation. Corporate operations include corporate expenses, such as personnel, legal, occupancy, and other costs related to corporate service functions, such as executive oversight, insurance and risk management, public and government relations, internal audit, treasury, payroll, compliance and licensing, finance, accounting, tax, certain information systems and collections support and other similar services. Corporate income includes miscellaneous income not directly attributable to the Company’s segments. Corporate assets primarily include: corporate property and equipment, non-qualified savings plan assets, marketable securities, foreign exchange forward contracts and prepaid insurance.

The following tables present operating income for the Company’s segments for each quarter of 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, as a result of the change in presentation described above.
