DFC GLOBAL CORP. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2014 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Berwyn, Pennsylvania – January 30, 2014 – DFC Global Corp. (NASDAQ: DLLR), a leading international diversified financial services company serving primarily unbanked and under-banked consumers for over 30 years, today announced its results for the fiscal 2014 second quarter ended December 31, 2013.

Fiscal Year 2014 Second Quarter Highlights

A table reconciling pro forma income before income taxes and diluted pro forma operating earnings per share to GAAP basis income before income taxes and GAAP basis diluted earnings per share is presented at the back of this news release.

“Our fiscal 2014 second quarter performance was impacted by the continued regulatory transition in the United Kingdom, a further decline in the commodity price of gold, and increasing weakness in the value of the Canadian dollar, which directly impacts the U.S. dollar translation of the financial results of our largest and most profitable business in Canada,” said Jeff Weiss, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect the competitive disadvantage in which we currently find ourselves in the United Kingdom will continue until the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) assumes full authority as the new regulator of our industry on April 1, 2014 and begins to promulgate and enforce specific rules for all providers. As we have said previously, we endorse regulatory efforts to ensure consumers are appropriately protected and believe we are well-positioned through our significant investment in a manual collections infrastructure, which we expect will be required under the evolving regulatory framework in the United Kingdom.”

“Despite the ongoing transition in the United Kingdom, there were some positive takeaways from the quarter,” continued Mr. Weiss. “In the U.K., we implemented a new mass media advertising campaign during the quarter which saw us increase new unsecured loan customers in our store-based business. Just as significantly, results in our expansionary markets of Poland and Spain are exceeding our expectations, as we saw revenue in those countries increase 28.0% and 37.7%, respectively, on a constant currency basis from the prior-year period. We continue to believe continental Europe represents significant potential to drive long-term top and bottom line growth for the Company while helping to further diversify our geographic concentration and product portfolio.”

Fiscal 2014 Second Quarter Financial Results
For the fiscal 2014 second quarter, the Company recorded revenue of $262.3 million, a decrease of 9.4% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period. Total unsecured consumer lending revenue was $169.4 million, down 9.6% on a constant currency basis over the prior-year period, and includes revenue from internet-based loans of $58.4 million, which decreased 25.9% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period.

Secured pawn lending, which was unfavorably impacted by lower gold prices, contributed $24.9 million of total revenue, an increase of 12.0% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior-year period. Total pawn interest and service charges increased approximately 18.0% over the prior-year period on a constant currency basis, while pawn scrapping and merchandise sales, which was largely affected by a decrease in the price of gold subsequent to when the item was originally pawned, decreased approximately 6.0% compared to the prior-year period.

The consolidated loan loss provision for unsecured loans, expressed as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue, was 27.0% for the fiscal 2014 second quarter compared to 27.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s consolidated loan loss provision benefited in the fiscal second quarter from the application of C$6.4 million of unused customer credits from an Ontario class action settlement against fully reserved consumer loan defaults; excluding this settlement, the consolidated loan loss provision would have been 30.6%. The loan loss provision for the quarter was unfavorably impacted by higher loan defaults in the United Kingdom principally resulting from the continuing implementation of a three interest-only loan rollover limitation, in addition to modifications of the Company’s collection practices, which place additional limitations on the number and duration of electronic debit collection attempts to a customer’s account. As a percentage of total unsecured loan originations or principal lent, the consolidated loan loss provision for the fiscal 2014 second quarter was 6.4%.

Collectively, including a net $1.9 million in non-operating and unusual credits for the fiscal 2014 second quarter, and $5.1 million of net non-operating and unusual charges for the prior-year period, income before income taxes on a GAAP basis was $4.7 million for the fiscal 2014 second quarter compared to income before income taxes of $30.8 million for the prior-year period, resulting in net income of $2.3 million for the quarter compared to $19.7 million for the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $0.06 for the fiscal 2014 second quarter compared to $0.45 per share for the prior-year period.

With respect to the Company’s operating earnings, excluding net non-operating and unusual charges for both periods, pro forma income before income taxes was $2.8 million for the fiscal 2014 second quarter, compared to pro forma income before income taxes of $35.9 million for the prior-year period. Considering a pro forma effective income tax rate from operations of 38.0%, diluted pro forma operating earnings per share was $0.04 for the fiscal 2014 second quarter compared to $0.56 per share for the prior-year period.

Fiscal Year 2014 Outlook

Given the slower-than-anticipated transition in the United Kingdom to specific regulatory requirements, which should establish an equal playing field amongst all competitors in the market, the Company is reducing its guidance range for fiscal year 2014 to adjusted EBITDA between $170.0 million and $200.0 million, as compared to its previous range of between $200.0 million and $240.0 million. This new range also considers recent unfavorable trends in the value of the Canadian dollar with respect to the U.S. currency, in addition to the current decrease in gold commodity prices, which combined are having a significant effect on the Company’s reported earnings. Considering a pro forma effective income tax rate from operations of 38.0%, the Company is now projecting diluted pro forma operating earnings per share, which excludes any non-operating and unusual charges, of between $0.35 and $0.80 for fiscal year 2014, as compared to the Company’s previous guidance range of between $0.65 and $1.27 per share.

Company Liquidity

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had drawn $30.7 million against its $180.0 million global revolving credit facility. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2013, the Company had drawn £1.8 million of its £2.5 million credit facilities in the United Kingdom, and had drawn SEK 25.0 million and EUR 6.8 million of its total SEK 115.0 million and EUR 10.8 million credit facilities, respectively, in Scandinavia. The Company also had an estimated $54.0 million of investable cash on its balance sheet.

The Company completed the purchase of its original 5.0 million common shares authorization during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional 5.0 million common shares that can be repurchased. The Company repurchased approximately 728,000 shares of its common stock at an average share price of $11.77 during the three months ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company is authorized to repurchase approximately 3.8 million additional shares of its common stock under its existing share repurchase plan.

Pro forma Net Income Reconciliation

Pro forma net income and diluted pro forma operating earnings per share are not items prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines pro forma net income as net income adjusted to exclude non-operating, unusual and non-cash charges and credits as described below, applying pro forma income tax rates that are based on a geographic mix of Company earnings we believe is based on a normalized operating year. The Company defines diluted pro forma operating earnings per share as pro forma net income divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The Company presents pro forma net income and diluted pro forma operating earnings per share as indications of its financial performance excluding non-operating, unusual and other net non-cash charges and to show comparative results of its operations. Not all companies calculate pro forma net income or diluted pro forma operating earnings per share in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The table below reconciles income before income taxes as reported on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations to pro forma net income (dollars in millions) and diluted pro forma operating earnings per share:

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as an indication of operating performance, as well as its ability to service its future debt and capital expenditure requirements. Adjusted EBITDA does not indicate whether the Company’s cash flow will be sufficient to fund all of its cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
