Cash America Announces Second Quarter Results and Dividend Declared

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) announced today that net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $2,071,000 (8 cents per share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $11,746,000 (loss of 41 cents per share) for the second quarter of 2014. After adjusting for non-operating items in both the current and the prior year second quarter, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $1,761,000 (6 cents per share) for the second quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $2,050,000 (loss of 8 cents per share) for the second quarter of 2014.

Included in the reported net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 is a gain on the disposition of equity securities of $1.1 million before taxes (3 cents per share after taxes) and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million before taxes (1 cent per share after taxes), which in aggregate increased income by $0.5 million before taxes (2 cents per share after taxes). When excluding this additional income, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.8 million (6 cents per share) for the second quarter of 2015, which exceeded the high end of the Company’s published guidance of expected net income per share from continuing operations of between 1 cent and 5 cents per share provided in its press release dated April 30, 2015. Included in the results for the second quarter of 2014 was a loss on the early extinguishment of debt and a loss related to a litigation settlement, which in aggregate reduced net income by $15.4 million before taxes (33 cents per share after taxes). Excluding these expenses, adjusted net loss from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, would have been $2.1 million, representing a loss of 8 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2014.

Consolidated total revenue was $236.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $253.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Consolidated net revenue was $134.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $141.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. Included in the second quarter of 2014 were the results of the Company’s Mexico-based pawn business, which was sold in the third quarter of 2014. The Company’s net revenue from domestic operations was $134.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $138.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, with the $4.1 million decrease primarily due to lower pawn loan fees and service charges as a result of lower average pawn loan balances, as well as decreased consumer loan net revenue as a result of the Company's strategic decision to de-emphasize and eliminate its unsecured short-term consumer loan activities in many of its locations. Consumer loan fees represented only 8% of the Company’s consolidated total revenue for the second quarter of 2015.

While net revenue from the Company’s domestic operations was 3% below the prior year’s second quarter results, the domestic business produced a 58% increase in income from operations, which reached $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Commenting on the second quarter results, Daniel R. Feehan, Chief Executive Officer of Cash America, said, “The first half of 2015 has shaped up much as we expected as our efforts to emphasize improved marginal profitability through expense management allowed us to report a significant increase in earnings compared to the prior year. As we enter the second half of 2015, we are well positioned to leverage our focus on business fundamentals and execution to expand net revenue and continue to report year-over-year increases in earnings and marginal profitability.”

The Company announced a four million share repurchase authorization on January 29, 2015. As a part of that authorization, the Company repurchased 1,184,230 shares during the second quarter of 2015. In aggregate, these shares were purchased at an approximate average price of $26.77 per share and represented approximately 4% of the fully diluted shares as of the end of the first quarter of 2015. Through the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company has purchased 2,332,230 shares under this repurchase authorization at an average price of approximately $24.44 per share, representing approximately 8% of the fully diluted shares as of the end of December 31, 2014. The Company ended the second quarter with $44 million in cash and no borrowings outstanding under its $280 million line of credit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $9.9 million (35 cents per share) compared to a net loss of $8.5 million (a loss of 30 cents per share) for the same period in 2014. Included in the reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is a gain on the disposition of equity securities, a loss on early extinguishment of debt and severance expenses related to administrative and operations staff reductions, which in aggregate reduced net income from continuing operations by $0.2 million before taxes (1 cent per share after taxes). When excluding these items, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $10.1 million (36 cents per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This compares to adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, of $2.3 million (7 cents per share) for the six-months ended June 30, 2014, which adds back to the reported results the expense for the early extinguishment of debt of $10.4 million after taxes and litigation settlement expenses of $0.4 million after taxes, for a total of $10.8 million (37 cents per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Consolidated total revenue was $508.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $538.2 million for the same period in 2014, which included the Company’s Mexico-based pawn lending business in 2014. The Company’s domestic business posted total revenue of $508.2 million compared to $525.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Consistent with the second quarter of 2015, the domestic business produced an increase in operating income while overcoming lower total and net revenue. The Company’s domestic operations generated a 21% increase in income from operations, which reached $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter results on Thursday, July 30, 2015, 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 http://www.cashamerica.com.

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.05 (5 cents) per share cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on August 26, 2015 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2015.

Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2015 and the 2015 Fiscal Year

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 predominantly take the form of pawn loans, the disposition of unredeemed collateral by way of consumer spending on retail sales, the commercial sale of refined gold and diamonds and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans. During the second quarter, pawn loan balances increased sequentially from the first quarter in-line with traditional seasonal growth. Management expects traditional sequential pawn loan balance growth in the third quarter and believes that the rate and timing of this growth will have a significant influence on the third and fourth quarter results.

Based on its views on the preceding factors, management expects net income per share for the third quarter of 2015 to be between 17 cents and 20 cents per share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of 32 cents per share in the third quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, management implemented actions that generated $14.1 million in after-tax expenses (48 cents per share) related to the sale of non-strategic operations in Mexico and Colorado, the early extinguishment of long-term debt and a corporate reorganization to create expense efficiencies. Excluding the $14.1 million in expenses related to these items incurred in the third quarter of 2014, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, would have been $4.7 million (16 cents per share) for the third quarter of 2014.

At this time, management modifies and increases its previously reported expectations for its fiscal year 2015 adjusted EBITDA to an anticipated range of between $117 million to $125 million, which management estimates will generate between $0.95 and $1.10 in adjusted net income per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes the disposition of equity securities, a loss on early extinguishment of debt and severance expenses related to administrative and operations staff reductions, which in aggregate reduced income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 by 1 cent per share. This compares to a reported net loss from continuing operations of 36 cents per share for fiscal year 2014, which included expense items totaling 87 cents per share related to the early extinguishment of debt, a loss on divestitures and the severance expenses related to administrative and operations staff reductions. Adding back the expense per share of 87 cents incurred during 2014, adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been 51 cents per share.

In addition to reporting consumer loans owned by the Company and consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP, the Company has provided combined consumer loans, which is a non-GAAP measure.

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.

CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNON-GAAP DISCLOSURE

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, the Company has provided certain historical non-GAAP measures in the tables below, including (i) adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations, adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations (collectively, the “Adjusted Earnings Measures”), and (ii) adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain on disposition of equity securities and provision or benefit for income taxes. Management also provides estimated adjusted EBITDA, estimated adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, and estimated free cash flow per share, which are non-GAAP measures. Management defines estimated free cash flow per share as estimated adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding estimated depreciation and amortization, less estimated cash paid for capital expenditures.

Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides users of the financial statements with greater transparency and facilitates a more meaningful comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods. In addition, management believes this information provides a more in-depth and complete view of the Company’s financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future and may highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management also believes that non-GAAP measures are frequently used by investors to analyze operating performance, evaluate the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and its capacity for making capital investments, and to help assess the Company’s estimated enterprise value.

CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNON-GAAP DISCLOSURE

For adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, management excludes intangible asset amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation, convertible debt non-cash interest and issuance cost amortization, and foreign currency transaction gains or losses. In addition, management has determined that the adjustments to the Adjusted Earnings Measures and adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, included in the tables below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the current quarter with the prior year quarter without the effect of the below items, which management believes are less frequent in nature:

• the expenses related to the Company’s reorganization to better align the corporate and operating cost structure with its remaining storefront operations after the Enova Spin-off (the “Reorganization”);
• the gain on disposition of equity securities;
• the gain or loss on significant divestitures;
• the loss on early extinguishment of debt;
• the charges related to the closure of 36 locations in Texas in 2013 that offered consumer loans as their primary source of revenue (the “Texas Consumer Loan Store Closures”);
• the adjustments for a penalty paid to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) in connection with the issuance of a consent order by the CFPB in November 2013 (the “Regulatory Penalty”);
• charges related to a significant litigation settlement in 2013 (the “2013 Litigation Settlement”);
• an adjustment made in 2013 (the “Ohio Adjustment for the Ohio Reimbursement Program”) to decrease the Company’s remaining liability following an assessment of the claims made under a voluntary program initiated in 2012 to reimburse Ohio customers in connection with certain legal collections proceedings initiated by the Company in Ohio; and
• a recognized income tax benefit related to a tax deduction included on the Company’s 2013 federal income tax return for its tax basis in the stock of its subsidiary that previously owned its Mexico-based pawn operations, Creazione Estilo, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (the “Creazione Deduction”).

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Therefore, certain adjusting items that occurred in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 and 2013 are presented in the adjusted EBITDA table.

Management believes the non-GAAP measures, including these adjustments, provide more meaningful information regarding the ongoing operating performance, provide more useful period-to-period comparisons of operating results, both internally and in relation to operating results of competitors, enhance investors' understanding of the core operating results of the business and provide a more accurate indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations.

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.

The table below shows an estimated range of adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, in addition to an estimated range of free cash flow per share. The financial measure of free cash flow per share has limitations as it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as certain components of the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows are omitted. Therefore, estimated free cash flow per share should be evaluated in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
