FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 25, 2012--Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) announced today that net income attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2012 was $11,703,000 (37 cents per share), compared to the third quarter of 2011 net income of $34,777,000 ($1.08 per share). The third quarter results included unusual items which reduced net income and earnings per share by $20.4 million and 65 cents per share, respectively. Excluding the impact of these unusual expenses, third quarter adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP measure, would have been $32.1 million ($1.02 per share), which is at the high end of management’s publicly released earnings per share guidance of between 95 cents per share and $1.05 per share as reported in the Company’s press release dated July 26, 2012 and above analysts’ consensus estimates of 95 cents per share as reported by Thomson Reuters. The unusual items included $18.5 million (59 cents per share) in after tax costs associated with the Company’s previously announced reorganization of its Mexico-based pawn operations that operate under the name Prenda Fácil and $1.9 million (6 cents per share) after taxes related to the write off of deferred costs and transition expenses associated with the announced withdrawal of the proposed initial public offering of Enova International, Inc. in late July of 2012.

Consolidated total revenue increased 10% during the third quarter of 2012 to $439.7 million, up from $398.3 million during the same period in 2011. Contributing to the increase in total revenue was an increase in consumer loan fees from the Company’s E-Commerce segment. Revenue from online consumer loan fees rose 33% during the third quarter of 2012, to $173.6 million, due to higher demand in the United States and continued growth in foreign markets during the quarter.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported net income of $82,990,000 ($2.62 per share) compared to $98,136,000 ($3.07 per share) for the same period in 2011. When adding back the unusual items discussed above, adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP measure, would have been $103.4 million and adjusted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, would have been $3.27 per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, up 7% for the period. Total revenue increased 18% to $1.3 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, up from $1.1 billion for the same period in 2011.

Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We entered the third quarter keenly aware of the challenging environment but determined to make advances on a variety of important initiatives to position the Company for next year. We recently announced that the Company has entered into agreements to add 34 pawn lending locations in the United States through two independent transactions, one of which was substantially completed during the quarter, and we began implementing a new strategy for our Mexico-based pawn lending locations to focus on full-format pawn locations and place more emphasis on lending activities secured by general merchandise. We believe these developments plus the continued growth of our E-Commerce segment will set the stage for fiscal 2013.”

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter results on Thursday, October 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 November 21, 2012 to shareholders of record on November 7, 2012.

Management believes that the opportunities for growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with 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. The fourth quarter, during the seasonally important holiday selling season, represents an important period of retail sales for the Company, and results will be affected by consumer sentiments during the period. There are various other elements that could affect the growth in revenue, such as the regulatory governance of consumer loan products and the development and growth of new and foreign markets for the Company’s e-commerce distribution platform for consumer lending products, as well as developments related to the reorganization of the Company’s Mexico-based pawn operations. As the Company enters the fourth quarter of 2012, management anticipates that demand for the Company’s consumer loan products will continue on a similar pace to the one it has experienced during the first nine months of 2012 with a continued heavier weighting to the international portfolio. Demand for the Company’s pawn lending products has proven more challenging in the second and third quarters of 2012, and management expects growth in the Company’s pawn lending business, but remains conservative in its expectations for the balance of 2012.

Based on management’s views and on the preceding factors, management expects the fourth quarter 2012 net income per share to be between $1.15 and $1.25 per share compared to $1.18 per share in the fourth quarter of 2011, which does not include costs and other charges expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter associated with the Company’s previously announced reorganization of its Mexico-based pawn operations (estimated to be between 19 cents and 32 cents per share). Based on the Company’s growth through the first nine months of 2012, which produced earnings per share of $2.62 ($3.27 per share on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, adding back the unusual items discussed above of 65 cents per share in the third quarter), and factors noted above, management expects its fiscal year 2012 earnings per share to be in a range of between $3.77 and $3.87 per share ($4.42 and $4.52 per share on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, adjusted for the third quarter unusual items but excluding the unusual items expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter, as noted above), compared to $4.25 per share in fiscal 2011.

In addition, management is initiating its expectations for fiscal year 2013. Based on its current views of the coming year, management establishes its initial anticipated range of earnings per share of between $4.75 to $5.15 for fiscal 2013.

As of September 30, 2012, Cash America International, Inc. operated 1,074 total locations offering specialty financial services to consumers, which included the following:

Additionally, as of September 30, 2012, the Company offered consumer loans over the Internet to customers:

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.

The following tables summarize selected data related to the Company’s consumer loan activities as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

^(a)

GAAP measure. The consumer loan balances guaranteed by the Company represent loans originated by third-party lenders through the Company's credit services organization programs (the "CSO programs"), so these balances are not recorded in the Company’s financial statements. However, the Company has established a liability for estimated losses in support of its guarantee of these loans, which is reflected in the table above and included in its financial statements.

^(b)

Except for allowance and liability for estimated losses, amounts represent non-GAAP measures.

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.

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. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below, especially the adjustments for events that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012, such as the reorganization of the Mexico-based pawn operations and the withdrawal of the proposed initial public offering of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Enova International, Inc. (the "proposed Enova IPO"), are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the quarter with the previous periods shown.

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, which are shown net of tax (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, represents $3.1 million of charges, net tax benefit of $1.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, represents $3.9 million of charges, net tax benefit of $1.2 million.

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, 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. The computation of adjusted EBITDA as presented below may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (dollars in thousands):
