FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CSH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that net income attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2009 increased 19% to $22,478,000 (73 cents per share) compared to the third quarter of 2008 which was $18,925,000 (63 cents per share).

Total revenue increased 10% during the third quarter 2009 to $276.1 million, up from $252.2 million during the same period in 2008. Contributing to the rise in total revenue was a 28% increase in finance and service charges from pawn loans and an increase of 9% in the proceeds from the sale of merchandise during the quarter. This was driven by continued customer demand for pawn lending products and the addition of Prenda Facil in December 2008, the Company's Mexico based pawn lending operation. Excluding Prenda Facil, the Company reported an 11% increase in finance and service charges from pawn loans during the quarter. Consolidated pawn loan balances increased year-over-year by 20% during the third quarter 2009. Excluding the addition of Prenda Facil, pawn loan balances were up 6% during the period. Consolidated income from operations rose 14% to $41.4 million during the third quarter 2009, up from $36.2 million during the same period in 2008. This is partially due to lower loan losses on cash advances written. Loan losses as a percent of cash advance fees decreased to 38.4% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 42.5% in the third quarter of 2008.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, Cash America produced net income of $62,995,000 ($2.06 per share) compared to $64,873,000 ($2.16 per share) for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income was due to a 4% decrease in cash advance fees during the nine-month period which is largely related to the absence of or significantly reduced profitability in certain cash advance markets in 2009 that generated revenue and earnings for the Company in 2008. Total revenue increased 6% to $796.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, up from $751.1 million for the same period in 2008.

Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We have restored the year over year quarterly earnings growth that challenged us in the first half of 2009 due to changes in certain markets for our cash advance product. Our pawn lending activities have continued to produce earnings growth throughout 2009 and in the third quarter we were able to add year over year growth in our cash advance business segment as our storefront business posted a successful third quarter." Mr. Feehan added, "We are proud to have posted this earnings growth while adding 158 net new pawn lending locations, including 113 acquired locations and 49 start-up locations while closing 4 locations, in an effort to expand the concentration of our pawn lending activities over the last twelve months."

Cash America will conduct a conference call to discuss its third quarter earnings Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 7:45 AM CDT. A live web cast of the call will be available on the Company's corporate web site in the Investor Relations section (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.

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 18, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 4, 2009.

Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of 2009 and 2010 Fiscal Year

Expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2009 will be impacted by earning asset levels based on customer demand for credit products and by customer demand for the sale of merchandise in pawn lending locations. The fourth quarter represents an important period of retail sales for the Company, and results will be affected by consumer sentiments during the period. Based on its views and expectations related to the preceding factors management expects that the fourth quarter 2009 net income per share will be between 94 cents and $1.02 per share compared to 54 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2008. The fourth quarter of 2008 included 20 cents of one-time charges, which included severance and related expenses for the closing of 42 cash advance locations, the restructuring and elimination of senior management positions, referendum initiatives related to the November 4,( )2008 election in the state of Ohio and new product transition costs in certain cash advance markets . Therefore, management's expectation for the full year 2009 earnings per share will be between $3.00 and $3.08 compared to $2.70 per share in fiscal 2008.

In addition, management is initiating its preliminary expectations for fiscal year 2010. Based on its current views of the coming year, management establishes its initial anticipated range of earnings per share of $3.45 to $3.60 for fiscal 2010.
