Cash America Reports Second Quarter Net Income and Declares Dividend

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2013--Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) reported today that its net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $25,132,000 (81 cents per share), which compares to the second quarter 2012 net income of $29,820,000 (94 cents per share). Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were in line with the Company’s pre-announced earnings issued on July 15, 2013. The reduction in earnings for the second quarter of 2013, when compared to the second quarter of 2012, is primarily attributable to a decline in gross profit on disposition proceeds primarily associated with the commercial sales of refined gold in the Company’s Domestic Retail Services Segment. The second quarter earnings fell short of the Company’s published earnings guidance primarily due to reduced customer demand for the loan products provided through the Company’s Domestic Retail Services Segment, higher expenses for health insurance and personnel costs and additional interest expense associated with the $300 million senior note offering which closed in early May.

Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $411.0 million compared to $411.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. Net revenue, which is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and loan loss provision expense, was up 5% to $244.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year primarily due to growth in the Company’s E-Commerce Segment. The E-Commerce Segment posted higher total revenue levels and lower loan losses as a percentage of revenue leading to a 22% increase in net revenue, which reached $106.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to $86.6 million in the same quarter in 2012. The E-Commerce Segment generated income from operations of $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 21% compared to the same period in 2012.

Commenting on the results of the quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, “The overall financial results for the second quarter reflect the trends that we have experienced over the past four quarters. Our Domestic Retail Services Segment has faced an industry-wide challenge of adjusting to the rapidly changing environment for the commercial sales of scrap gold and to historically tepid loan demand. At the same time, our E-Commerce Segment remains a bright spot for our enterprise with ongoing growth in its revenue and earnings associated with its diversification of loan products in both the U.S. and international markets. We expect the trends reflected in our second quarter results will continue through the balance of 2013.”

For the first six months of fiscal year 2013, total revenue increased 1% to $879.1 million compared to $869.1 million for the same period in 2012 and net revenue for the same comparison period was up 5% reaching $516.7 million in 2013 versus $490.4 million in 2012. The Company posted net income of $69,058,000 ($2.23 per share) for the first six months of fiscal year 2013 compared to $71,287,000 ($2.24 per share) for the same period in 2012.

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter results on Thursday, July 25, at 7:00 AM CDT. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s corporate website (http://www.cashamerica.com). To listen to the live call, please go to the website at least fifteen minutes early to register, download, and install any necessary audio software. A replay will be available on the Company’s website following the call.

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on August 21, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 7, 2013.

Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2013 and Related Fiscal Year

Management believes that the opportunities for growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with the customer demand for the credit products provided by the Company, which take the form of pawn loans and consumer loans and the disposition of unredeemed collateral by way of consumer spending on retail sales and the commercial sale of refined gold and diamonds. Other elements that could affect the growth in revenue include the regulatory governance of consumer loan products, the continued development and growth of new lending products offered by the Company’s E-Commerce Segment, the development and growth of the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations, and the prevailing market price of gold. As the Company enters the third quarter of 2013, management anticipates that demand for the Company’s consumer loan products in its Retail Services Segment will continue on a moderate pace similar to the pace we experienced in the second quarter of 2013, which will be partially offset by growth in the E-Commerce Segment. Demand for the Company’s pawn lending products continued to prove challenging in the second quarter and management expects future growth in its pawn lending business, but is reserved about expectations for the remainder of 2013.

Based on its views and on the preceding factors, management expects the third quarter 2013 net income per share to be between 75 cents and 85 cents per share compared to 37 cents per share in the third quarter of 2012, which included unusual items mostly related to the Company’s reorganization of its Mexico based pawn operations in 2012 that reduced net income and earnings per share by $20.4 million and 65 cents per share, respectively. Based on the Company’s results through the first half of 2013, which produced earnings per share of $2.23, and the factors noted above for the remainder of 2013, management expects its fiscal year 2013 earnings per share to be in a range of between $4.15 and $4.35 per share, compared to $3.42 per share in fiscal 2012, which included $25.4 million (81 cents per share) related to the Mexico reorganization, $8.4 million (27 cents per share) related to the Ohio refund expense, and $2.5 million (7 cents per share) related to expenses associated with the July 2012 withdrawal of the Enova International, Inc. proposed initial public offering.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This release contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition, operations and prospects of the Company. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties including, without limitation: the effect of or changes in domestic and foreign pawn, consumer credit, tax and other laws and governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company's business or changes in the interpretation or enforcement thereof; the anticipated regulation of providers of consumer financial products and services by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; public perception of the Company’s business, including its consumer loan business and its business practices; the deterioration of the political, regulatory or economic environment in foreign countries where the Company operates or in the future may operate; fluctuations, including a sustained decrease, in the price of gold or deterioration in economic conditions; the effect of any current or future litigation proceedings or any judicial decisions or rule-making that affect the Company, its products or its arbitration agreements; the actions of third parties who provide, acquire or offer products and services to, from or for the Company; changes in demand for the Company’s services, the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers; a prolonged interruption in the Company’s operations of its facilities, systems and business functions, including its information technology and other business systems; the ability of the Company to open new locations in accordance with its plans or to successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into the Company’s operations; changes in competition; interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; changes in the capital markets; changes in the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt obligations or to refinance existing debt obligations or obtain new capital to finance growth; security breaches, cyber attacks or fraudulent activity; compliance with laws and regulations applicable to international operations; the implementation of new, or changes in the interpretation of existing, accounting principles or financial reporting requirements; acts of God, war or terrorism, pandemics and other events; the effect of any of such changes on the Company’s business or the markets in which it operates; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, nor can the Company predict, in many cases, all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this release, terms such as “believes,” “estimates,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “may,” “forecasts,” “projects” and similar expressions and variations as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this release.

The following table summarizes the age of merchandise held for disposition before valuation allowance of $0.9 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands).

In addition to reporting 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 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 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.

Corporate operations primarily include corporate expenses, such as 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 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.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE
ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

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.

The following table provides a reconciliation for the three and six months ended June 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

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 for charges related to events that occurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2012, such as the withdrawn proposed initial public offering of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Enova International, Inc. (the “Enova IPO”), the reorganization of the Company's Mexico-based pawn operations (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):

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 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.
