1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Cash America International, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the three- and six-month periods then ended are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Operating results for the three- and six-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

The presentation of the consolidated statements of income has been modified to include the consumer loan loss provision as a component of total cost of revenue, rather than as a component of total expenses. The information presented in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 has been updated to conform to this presentation. These changes have no impact on consolidated results previously reported.

The Company has a contractual relationship with a third party entity, Huminal, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Huminal”), to compensate and maintain the labor force of its Mexico pawn operations, of which the Company is a majority owner due to the December 16, 2008 acquisition by the Company of 80% of the outstanding stock of Creazione Estilo, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Creazione”), operating under the name “Prenda Fácil” (referred to as “Prenda Fácil”). The Company has no ownership interest in Huminal; however, Prenda Fácil qualifies as the primary beneficiary of Huminal in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. Therefore, the results and balances of Huminal are consolidated and allocated to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which will enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and those that report under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“ASU 2011-04”), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent

definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011–04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the ASC 820 disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (“ASU 2010-29”). This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, the Company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

2. Acquisitions

Prenda Fácil

Pursuant to its business strategy of expanding storefront operations for the pawn business in Latin America, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cash America of Mexico, Inc., completed the acquisition of 80% of the outstanding stock of Creazione, which operates retail services locations under the name “Prenda Facil,” in December 2008. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay a supplemental earn-out payment in an amount based on a five times multiple of the consolidated earnings of Prenda Fácil’s business as specifically defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement (generally Prenda Fácil’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses denominated in its local currency) for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2011, reduced by amounts previously paid. Based on earnings for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2011, no supplemental payment was due. As a result, the final purchase price for the Company’s interest in Creazione was $90.8 million, of which $82.9 million was paid in cash, with the remainder paid in the form of 391,236 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $7.9 million as of the closing date.

Maxit

Pursuant to its business strategy of expanding storefront operations in the United States, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cash America, Inc. of Nevada, completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Maxit Financial, LLC (“Maxit”) on October 4, 2010. Maxit owned and operated a 39-store chain of pawn lending locations that operate in Washington and Arizona under the names “Maxit” and “Pawn X-Change.” Per the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the acquisition consideration consisted of a cash payment of approximately $58.2 million, which was funded with borrowings under the Company’s line of credit, and 366,097 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair value of $10.9 million as of the closing date. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $1.5 million related to the acquisition, which were reflected in “Operations expenses” in the consolidated statements of income during the fourth quarter of 2010. The goodwill of $26.2 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Maxit. As further described in Note 7, the activities and goodwill of Maxit are included in the results of the Company’s retail services segment.

3. Credit Quality Information on Pawn Loans

The Company manages the pawn loan portfolio by monitoring the type and adequacy of collateral compared to historical gross profit margins. If a pawn loan defaults, the Company must rely on the disposition of pawned property to recover the principal amount of an unpaid pawn loan, plus a yield on the investment, because pawn loans are non-recourse against the customer. As a result, the customer’s creditworthiness is not a significant factor in the loan decision, and a decision to redeem pawned property does not affect the customer’s personal credit status. In addition, the customer’s creditworthiness does not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations, because generally, forfeited merchandise has historically sold for an amount in excess of the cost of goods sold (which is the lower of cash amount loaned or market value). Goods pledged to secure pawn loans are tangible personal property items such as jewelry, tools, televisions and other electronics, musical instruments, and other miscellaneous items. A pawn loan is considered nonperforming if the customer does not make a payment in accordance with the contractual requirements. Any accrued pawn loan fees and service charges are reversed on nonperforming loans. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, the Company had performing pawn loans outstanding of $223.6 million, $179.9 million, and $213.5 million, respectively, and nonperforming pawn loans outstanding of $5.7 million, $4.2 million, and $4.9 million, respectively.

 

4. Credit Quality Information and Allowances and Accruals for Losses on Consumer Loans

In order to manage the portfolios of consumer loans effectively, the Company utilizes a variety of proprietary underwriting criteria, monitors the performance of the portfolio and maintains either an allowance or accrual for losses on consumer loans (including fees and interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The portfolio includes balances outstanding from all Company-owned consumer loans. In addition, the Company maintains an accrual for losses related to loans guaranteed under the Company’s Credit Services Organization program. The allowance for losses on Company-owned consumer loans offsets the outstanding loan amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. The accrual for losses is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

A consumer loan is considered nonperforming if the customer does not make payments in accordance with the contractual requirements. Generally, consumer loan fees do not accrue on nonperforming loans. Once a loan is considered non-performing and placed on non-accrual status, the Company does not resume accrual of interest. For nonperforming loans, all cash received is first applied against the principal balance of the loan. After the principal balance is recovered, the Company recognizes additional payments as consumer loan fee revenue.

The Company stratifies the outstanding combined consumer loan portfolio by age, delinquency, and stage of collection when assessing the adequacy of the allowance or accrual for losses. It uses historical collection performance adjusted for recent portfolio performance trends to develop the expected loss rates used to establish either the allowance or accrual. Increases in either the allowance or accrual are recorded as a consumer loan loss provision expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company generally charges off all consumer loans, including accrued interest, once they have been in default for 60 consecutive days, or sooner if deemed uncollectible. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.

The allowance deducted from the carrying value of consumer loans was $37.2 million, $36.7 million, and $38.9 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, $47.3 million, $51.0 million, and $48.8 million, respectively, of active consumer loans owned by third-party lenders were guaranteed by the Company as of those dates. The accrual for losses on consumer loan guaranty obligations was $2.1 million, $3.3 million and $2.8 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

5. Earnings Per Share Computation

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period.

On March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new credit agreement for up to $330.0 million of credit with a group of commercial banks (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on March 31, 2015 and consists of a $280.0 million line of credit, which includes the ability to borrow up to $50.0 million in specified foreign currencies or U.S. dollars (the “Domestic and Multi-currency Line”), and a $50.0 million term loan facility (the “2015 Variable Rate Notes”). Interest on the Domestic and Multi-currency Line is charged, at the Company’s option, at either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin varying from 2.00% to 3.25%, or at the agent’s base rate plus a margin varying from 0.50% to 1.75%. Interest on the 2015 Variable Rate Notes is charged, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% or at the agent’s base rate plus a margin of 2.00%. The margin for the Domestic and Multi-currency Line is dependent on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company also pays a fee on the unused portion of the Domestic and Multi-currency Line ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% (0.38% at June 30, 2011) based on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratios. The weighted average interest rate (including margin) on the Domestic and Multi-currency Line and the 2015 Variable Rate Notes, respectively, was 2.72% and 3.69% at June 30, 2011. Beginning on March 31, 2012, the 2015 Variable Rate Notes require quarterly principal payments of $2.1 million with any outstanding principal remaining due at maturity on March 31, 2015.

In conjunction with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all outstanding revolving credit loans under its $300.0 million domestic line of credit due 2012 (the “USD Line of Credit”) and its variable rate senior unsecured note due 2012 (the “2012 Variable Rate Notes”) with proceeds of the Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2011, borrowings under the Company’s Domestic and Multi-currency Line consisted of multiple pricing tranches with maturity dates ranging from one to 29 days, and at June 30, 2010, borrowings under the Company’s USD Line of Credit consisted of three pricing tranches with maturity dates ranging from one to 30 days. However, the Company refinances borrowings pursuant to the terms of its Domestic and Multi-currency Line, and it also routinely refinanced borrowings under its USD Line of Credit before it was repaid on March 30, 2011. Therefore, these borrowings are reported as part of the applicable line of credit and as long-term debt.

In connection with the Domestic and Multi-currency Line and the 2015 Variable Rate Notes, the Company incurred approximately $2.6 million for issuance costs, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees, legal and other professional expenses. These costs are being amortized over a period of three years and are included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

On March 30, 2011, in conjunction with the establishment of the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a separate credit agreement for the issuance of $20.0 million in letters of credit (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). The Company had standby letters of credit of $16.1 million issued under the Letter of Credit Facility at June 30, 2011. Previously, these letters of credit were provided under the USD Line of Credit by reducing the amount available to the Company.

See Note 10 for a discussion of the Company’s interest rate cap agreements.

Each of the Company’s credit agreements and senior unsecured notes require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants or other requirements set forth in its debt agreements.

 

7. Operating Segment Information

The Company has two operating segments: retail services and e-commerce. The retail services segment includes all of the operations of the Company’s Retail Services Division, which is composed of both domestic and foreign storefront locations that offer some or all of the following services: pawn lending, consumer loans, the purchase and sale of merchandise, check cashing and other ancillary services such as money orders, wire transfers and pre-paid debit cards. Most of these ancillary services offered in the retail services segment are provided through third party vendors. The e-commerce segment includes the operations of the Company’s E-Commerce Division, which is composed of the Company’s domestic and foreign online channel (and includes the Company’s internet lending activities and other ancillary services) and the Company’s micro line of credit services channel.

8. Litigation

On August 6, 2004, James E. Strong filed a purported class action lawsuit in the State Court of Cobb County, Georgia against Georgia Cash America, Inc., Cash America International, Inc. (together with Georgia Cash America, Inc., “Cash America”), Daniel R. Feehan, and several unnamed officers, directors, owners and “stakeholders” of Cash America. The lawsuit alleges many different causes of action, among the most significant of which is that Cash America made illegal short-term loans in Georgia in violation of Georgia’s usury law, the Georgia Industrial Loan Act and Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Community State Bank (“CSB”) for some time made loans to Georgia residents through Cash America’s Georgia operating locations. The complaint in this lawsuit claims that Cash America was the true lender with respect to the loans made to Georgia borrowers and that CSB’s involvement in the process is “a mere subterfuge.” Based on this claim, the suit alleges that Cash America was the “de facto” lender and was illegally operating in Georgia. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, punitive damages and the trebling of any compensatory damages. In November 2009, the trial court certified the case as a class action lawsuit, and after an appeal by Cash America, the Supreme Court of Georgia upheld the class certification in March 2011. This case is currently set for jury trial on October 3, 2011. Cash America believes that the Plaintiffs’ claims in this suit are without merit and is vigorously defending this lawsuit.

Cash America and CSB also commenced a federal lawsuit on September 7, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia seeking to compel Mr. Strong to arbitrate his claims against Cash America and CSB. The U.S. District Court dismissed the federal action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and Cash America and CSB appealed the dismissal of their complaint to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. The 11th Circuit issued a panel decision in April 2007 reversing the district court’s dismissal of the action and remanding the action to the district court for a determination of the issue of the enforceability of the parties’ arbitration agreements. Plaintiff requested the 11th Circuit to review this decision en banc and this request was granted. The en banc rehearing took place in February 2008, and at the request of the 11th Circuit panel, the parties provided additional briefing in the summer of 2009 following a ruling by the United States Supreme Court that federal courts can compel arbitration of a state court action in certain instances. The parties are awaiting the 11th Circuit court’s decision. The Strong litigation is still at an early stage, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this litigation can be determined at this time.

On March 5, 2009, Peter Alfeche filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Cash America International, Inc., Cash America Net of Nevada, LLC (“CashNet Nevada”), Cash America Net of Pennsylvania, LLC and Cash America of PA, LLC, d/b/a CashNetUSA.com (collectively, “CashNetUSA”). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that CashNetUSA’s online consumer loan activities in Pennsylvania were illegal and not in accordance with the Pennsylvania Loan Interest Protection Law or the licensing requirements of the Pennsylvania Consumer Discount Company Act (the “CDCA”). The lawsuit also seeks declaratory judgment that several of CashNetUSA’s contractual provisions, including choice of law and arbitration provisions, are not authorized by Pennsylvania law. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorney’s fees and the trebling of any compensatory damages. CashNetUSA filed a motion to enforce the arbitration provision located in the agreements governing the lending activities, and the court has not yet ruled on this motion. The Alfeche litigation is still at an early stage, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this litigation can be determined at this time. CashNetUSA believes that the Plaintiffs’ claims in this suit are without merit and will vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On April 21, 2009, Yulon Clerk filed a purported class action lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, against CashNet Nevada and several other unrelated third-party lenders. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants’ lending activities in Pennsylvania, including CashNet Nevada’s online consumer loan lending activities in Pennsylvania, were illegal and in violation of various

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

Pennsylvania laws, including the Loan Interest Protection Law, the CDCA and the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Laws. The complaint seeks payment of potential fines, unspecified damages, attorney’s fees and the trebling of certain damages. The defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania where the lawsuit now resides. The case was subsequently reassigned to the same judge presiding in the Alfeche litigation. In August 2009, the Court severed the claims against the other defendants originally named in the litigation. CashNet Nevada filed a motion with the federal court to enforce the arbitration provision located in the agreements governing the lending activities, and the Court has not yet ruled on this motion. The Clerk litigation is still at an early stage, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this litigation can be determined at this time. CashNet Nevada believes that the Plaintiffs’ claims in this suit are without merit and will vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters are covered to an extent by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

9. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and December 31, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

(a) 

The non-qualified savings plan assets have an offsetting liability of equal amount, which is included in “Accounts payable and other liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(b) 

Unrealized total gains/ (losses) on these securities of ($0.6) million, $2.3 million and ($2.0) million as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Company’s consolidated statements of equity.

The Company measures the value of its interest rate contracts and forward currency exchange contracts under Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820-10. For its interest rate contracts the Company relies on a market place valuation based on yield curves using observable market interest rates for the interest rate contracts. For its forward currency exchange contracts, standard valuation models are used to determine fair value. The significant inputs used in these models are derived from observable market transactions. The fair value of the nonqualified savings plan assets and certain available for sale securities are measured under a Level 1 input. These assets are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily observable. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers of assets in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates and have maturities of less than 90 days. Pawn loans and consumer loans have relatively short maturity periods that are generally 90 days or less. Since cash and cash equivalents, pawn loans and consumer loans generally have maturities of less than 90 days, their fair value approximates their carrying value. Pawn loan fee and service charge rates are determined by regulations and bear no valuation relationship to the capital markets’ interest rate movements. Generally, pawn loans may only be resold to a licensed pawnbroker.

The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are estimated based on market values for debt issues with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. The Company’s senior unsecured notes have a higher fair market value than the carrying value due to the difference in the yield in excess of like maturity U.S. Treasury yields when compared to recent issuances of similar senior unsecured notes. The 2009 Convertible Notes have a higher fair value than carrying value due to the Company’s stock price as of each period presented above exceeding the applicable conversion price for the 2009 Convertible Notes, thereby increasing the value of the instrument for bondholders.

 

10. Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically uses derivative instruments to manage risk from changes in market conditions that may affect the Company’s financial performance. The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to manage its primary market risks, which are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company uses interest rate cap agreements for the purpose of managing interest rate exposure on its floating rate debt. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” (or “OCI”) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in the estimated fair value of the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, will be recorded as income or expense.

On December 3, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $15.0 million to hedge the Company’s outstanding floating rate line of credit for a term of 36 months at a fixed rate of 3.25%. On March 27, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $15.0 million to hedge the Company’s outstanding floating rate line of credit for a term of 36 months at a fixed rate of 3.25%. These interest rate contracts have been determined to be perfectly effective cash flow hedges, pursuant to ASC 815-20-25, Derivatives and Hedging – Recognition at inception and on an ongoing basis.

The Company periodically uses forward currency exchange contracts to minimize risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia. The Company’s forward currency exchange contracts are non-designated derivatives. Any gain or loss resulting from these contracts is recorded as income or loss and is included in “Foreign currency transaction gain (loss)” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company does not currently manage its exposure to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of forward currency exchange contracts in Canada. As the Company’s foreign operations continue to grow, management will continue to evaluate and implement foreign exchange rate risk management strategies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion of results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and certain factors that may affect future results, including economic and industry-wide factors, of Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010.

General

The Company provides specialty financial services to individuals through retail services locations and through electronic distribution platforms known as e-commerce activities. These services include secured non-recourse loans, commonly referred to as pawn loans, and secured and unsecured consumer loans.

Pawn loans are short-term loans (generally 30 to 90 days) made on the pledge of tangible personal property. Pawn loan fees and service charges revenue are generated from the Company’s pawn loan portfolio. A related activity of the pawn lending operations is the disposition of collateral from unredeemed pawn loans and the liquidation of a smaller volume of merchandise purchased directly from third parties or from customers.

The Company’s consumer loan portfolio includes short-term single payment loans, longer-term multi-payment installment loans, credit services and, in prior periods, participation interests purchased from third parties in the micro line of credit (or “MLOC”) services channel. Consumer loans provide customers with cash, typically in exchange for a promissory note or other repayment agreement. Through the Credit Services Organization program (the “CSO program”), the Company markets and services third-party lenders’ consumer loan products in certain states by acting as a credit services organization on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. The CSO program includes credit services, loans arranged with independent third-party lenders, assistance in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents and acceptance of loan payments. The Company also guarantees the customer’s payment obligations in the event of default if the customer is approved for and accepts the loan through the CSO program. A customer who obtains a loan through the CSO program pays the Company a fee for these credit services (“CSO fees”). Although consumer loan transactions may take the form of loans, deferred check deposit transactions, credit services transactions, or, in prior periods, the processing of, and the participation in receivables originated by, a third-party lender’s MLOC product, the transactions are referred to throughout this discussion as “consumer loans.”

E-Commerce Segment

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s e-commerce operating segment offers consumer loans to customers over the Internet:

 

   

in 30 states in the United States at http://www.cashnetusa.com,

   

in the United Kingdom at http://www.quickquid.co.uk and http://www.poundstopocket.co.uk,

   

in Australia at http://www.dollarsdirect.com.au, and

The e-commerce segment also includes the Company’s MLOC services channel, which processed MLOC advances on behalf of a third-party lender and had a participation interest in MLOC receivables during most of 2010. In the past, the MLOC services channel generated its earnings through loan processing services the Company provided for a third-party lender, as well as from fees generated from participation interests in receivables the Company acquired. This program ended in October 2010 because the third-party lender discontinued offering MLOC advances. The Company intends to continue pursuing the development of new MLOC opportunities during the remainder of 2011.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Except as described below, since December 31, 2010, there have been no changes in critical accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35, Goodwill – Subsequent Measurement, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of June 30 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company’s impairment evaluation of goodwill is based on comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying value. The fair value of the reporting units was determined based on the income approach and then compared to the results of the market approach for reasonableness. The income approach establishes fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital developed using the capital asset pricing model, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit. The income approach uses the Company’s projections of financial performance for a five-year period and includes assumptions about future revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates, which vary among reporting units. The market approach establishes fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from other publicly traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint.

As of June 30, 2011, the annual assessment date, the Company’s reporting units had combined fair values that exceeded carrying value by 115.9%. The retail services segment and the e-commerce segment had fair values that exceeded carrying value by 69.8% and 810.4%, respectively. Based on the results of this test, no impairment of goodwill was observed. The Company also performed a sensitivity analysis on the Company’s estimated fair value using the income approach. A key assumption in the Company’s fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting the Company’s cash flow estimates in the Company’s income approach. Holding all other assumptions constant at the annual assessment date, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rates would reduce the combined fair value for the Company’s reporting units by $238.9 million, which would exceed the carrying value by 88.0%.

The Company also evaluated its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of June 30, 2011 and noted no impairment.

The process of evaluating goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. Inherent in such fair value determination are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including the Company’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to the Company’s operations. To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the Company’s conclusions regarding whether existing goodwill is impaired could change and result in a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Highlights

The Company’s financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (the “current quarter”) are summarized below.

 

 

Consolidated total revenue increased 14.4%, to $334.3 million, for the current quarter compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 (the “prior year quarter”), due to strong demand across all product categories.

 

 

Consolidated net revenue increased $33.1 million, or 18.7%, to $209.8 million, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Net revenue from pawn related activities, which is the sum of pawn loan fees and service charges and the net proceeds from the disposition of merchandise, increased 16.0%, or $16.5 million, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to organic growth in domestic retail pawn operations and the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Maxit on October 4, 2010, which owned and operated a 39-store chain of pawn lending locations that operate in Washington and Arizona (“the Maxit acquisition”). Consumer loan fees, net of consumer loan loss provision, increased 23.1%, or $16.4 million, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher average consumer loan balances in the e-commerce segment from growth in foreign markets, partially offset by lower average consumer loan balances in the domestic e-commerce segment.

 

 

Net income increased 29.2%, to $27.0 million, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Diluted net income per share increased $0.18 per share, or 27.3%, to $0.84 in the current quarter compared to $0.66 in the prior year quarter.

Overview

Consolidated Net Revenue: Consolidated net revenue is composed of total revenue less cost of disposed merchandise and consumer loan loss provision. Net revenue is the income available to satisfy all remaining expenses and is the measure management uses to evaluate top-line performance.

The following tables show the components of net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 by segment and on a consolidated basis (dollars in thousands):

For the current quarter, net revenue increased $33.1 million, or 18.7%, to $209.8 million, from $176.7 million for the prior year quarter. Pawn lending activities accounted for 56.9% and 58.3% of total net revenue for the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. Net revenue from pawn lending activities increased $16.5 million, to $119.4 million during the current quarter from $102.9 million in the prior year quarter, which accounted for 49.6% of the overall increase in net revenue. The increase in pawn-related contribution was primarily due to an increase in pawn loan fees and service charges that resulted from higher average pawn loan balances as a result of organic growth in domestic retail operations, the Maxit acquisition, higher sales and increased gross profit on the disposition of merchandise. Net revenue from consumer loan activities increased $16.4 million, to $87.3 million during the current quarter, from $70.9 million in the prior year quarter, which accounted for 49.4% of the overall increase in net revenue, mainly due to an increase in loans written from the e-commerce segment in foreign markets and a lower loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees primarily due to modifications in the Company’s underwriting models that have contributed to lower default rates and improvements in the collectability and loan performance quality of the overall portfolio. This increase in net revenue from consumer loans activity was large enough to offset a decrease in revenue from certain domestic markets in which the consumer loan product is no longer offered due to changes in laws and the absence of fees in the current quarter from the Company’s MLOC business, which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 (the “current six-month period”), net revenue increased $60.0 million, or 16.4%, to $426.0 million from $366.0 million for the same period in 2010 (the “prior year six-month period”). Net revenue from pawn lending activities accounted for 58.1% and 58.2% of total net revenue for the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period, respectively. Net revenue from pawn lending activities increased $34.1 million, to $247.3 million during the current six-month period from $213.2 million in the prior year six-month period, which accounted for 56.9% of the increase in net revenue. The increase in the pawn-related contribution was primarily due to an increase in pawn loan fees and service charges that resulted from higher average pawn loan balances as a result of organic growth in domestic retail operations, the Maxit Acquisition, higher sales and increased gross profit from the disposition of merchandise. Net revenue from consumer loan activities increased $25.4 million, to $170.9 million during the current six-month period, from $145.5 million in the prior year six-month period, which accounted for 42.4% of the increase in net revenue, mainly due to an increase in loans written from the e-commerce segment in foreign markets in which the Company operates, and a lower loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees, primarily due to modifications in the Company’s underwriting models that have contributed to lower default rates and improvements in the collectability and loan performance quality of the overall portfolio. This increase was large enough to offset a decrease in revenue from certain domestic markets in which the consumer loan product is no longer offered due to changes in laws and the absence of fees in the current six-month period from the Company’s MLOC business, which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company provides historical non-GAAP financial information. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes and 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 the Company’s GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s 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 non-GAAP information in addition to, but not instead of, the Company’s 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.

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 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 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Adjusted EBITDA

The table below shows adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, equity in earnings or loss of unconsolidated subsidiary, taxes and net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest. 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. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess the Company’s liquidity and estimated enterprise value.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 Compared To Quarter Ended June 30, 2010

Pawn Lending Activities:

Pawn lending activities consist of pawn loan fees and service charges on pawn loans from the retail services segment during the period and the profit on disposition of collateral from unredeemed pawn loans, as well as the sale of merchandise acquired from customers directly or from third parties. Routinely, the largest component of net revenue from pawn lending activities is the pawn loan fees and service charges from pawn loans, which are impacted by the trend in pawn loan balances and the yield on pawn loans during the period.

The following table sets forth selected data related to the Company’s pawn lending activities as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands except where otherwise noted):

  (a)

With respect to the Company’s foreign pawn operations, collateral underlying unredeemed pawn loans is not owned by the Company; therefore, proceeds from disposition are recorded as pawn loan fees and service charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Pawn loan fees and service charges. Pawn loan balances in domestic and foreign locations at June 30, 2011 were $229.3 million, which was $45.2 million, or 24.6%, higher than at June 30, 2010. The average balance of pawn loans outstanding during the current quarter increased by $38.2 million, or 22.2%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to organic growth in domestic retail operations and additional pawn loan balances resulting from the Maxit acquisition that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, higher average gold prices have contributed to the growth in pawn loan balances, as increased collateral values have supported customer demand resulting in a higher average loan amount.

Pawn loan fees and service charges from pawn loans increased $8.8 million, or 14.9%, to $68.3 million in the current quarter, from $59.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase is mainly due to higher average pawn loan balances during the current quarter, which contributed $13.2 million of the increase, partially offset by lower annualized yield on pawn loans, which decreased pawn loan fees and service charges by $4.4 million during the current quarter.

Annualized pawn loan yield was 130.4% in the current quarter, compared to 138.7% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in pawn loan yield is mostly due to a change in mix of pawn loans by market. In the current quarter, the lower pawn loan yield is primarily due to the addition of the Maxit locations in the fourth quarter of 2010, which operate in markets with a lower pawn loan yield than the aggregate domestic portfolio in existence prior to the acquisition, and an increase in pawn loan balances in existing markets that have a lower average pawn loan yield relative to the aggregate domestic portfolio. In addition, a lower yield on the liquidation of forfeited loans at foreign pawn locations contributed slightly to the decrease.

Proceeds from disposition of merchandise. Profit from the disposition of merchandise represents the proceeds received from the disposition of merchandise in excess of the cost of disposed merchandise. Retail sales include the sale of jewelry and general merchandise direct to consumers through the Company’s retail services locations or over the Internet. Commercial sales include the sale of refined gold, platinum and diamonds to brokers or manufacturers. The following table summarizes the proceeds from the disposition of merchandise and the related profit for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (dollars in thousands):

Percentage of total gross profit

    59.0      41.0      100.0      60.8      39.2      100.0 

The total proceeds from disposition of merchandise increased $16.4 million, or 14.4%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, and the total profit from the disposition of merchandise increased $7.6 million, or 17.5%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The overall profit margin percentage increased to 39.2% in the current quarter from 38.1% in the prior year quarter, mainly due to a higher profit margin on commercial sales. The consolidated merchandise turnover rate decreased to 2.7 times during the current quarter, compared to 2.9 times in the prior year quarter.

Proceeds from retail dispositions of merchandise increased $10.5 million, or 16.4%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to organic growth in the Company’s domestic retail operations and the Maxit acquisition. In addition, the profit margin on the retail disposition of merchandise decreased to 40.4% in the current quarter from 41.3% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in profit margin was primarily related to an increase in the average cost of jewelry items sold through retail services locations due to an increase in advance amounts on loans related to the higher average market price for gold.

Proceeds from commercial dispositions increased $5.9 million, or 11.9%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The profit margin on commercial sales increased to 37.5% in the current quarter from 34.2% in the prior year quarter. These increases were primarily due to an increase in the average market prices for gold and diamonds, offset by lower refined gold sales volume as a result of lower forfeiture rates on the Company’s pawn loan portfolio secured by jewelry.

Management expects that total gross profit margin in future periods will continue to be heavily influenced by the gross profit margin on commercial dispositions. Management expects the profit margin on retail dispositions, excluding commercial activities, to be similar to or slightly lower than current levels as merchandise available for disposition has increased over the prior year, which can result in more competitive selling practices.

Consumer Loan Activities:

Consumer loan fees. Consumer loan fees increased $16.5 million, or 14.3%, to $132.4 million in the current quarter compared to $115.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in consumer loan fees is primarily due to growth in the e-commerce segment from lending in the foreign markets in which the Company operates, which was offset by a decrease in revenue from domestic markets in which consumer loans are no longer offered due to changes in laws and the absence of fees in the current quarter from the Company’s MLOC business, which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Consumer loan loss provision. The consumer loan loss provision increased by $0.2 million, to $45.1 million in the current quarter, from $44.9 million in the prior year quarter. The loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees decreased to 34.1% in the current quarter, from 38.8% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to modifications in the Company’s underwriting models that have contributed to lower default rates and improvements in the collectability and loan performance quality of the overall portfolio in both the domestic and foreign portfolios, partially offset by higher loan balances in foreign e-commerce markets, which generally have higher loss rates.

The following table sets forth consumer loan fees by segment adjusted for the deduction of the loan loss provision for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (dollars in thousands):

Combined consumer loans. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided combined consumer loan balances and combined consumer loans written, which are non-GAAP measures that include (i) Company-owned consumer loans, which are GAAP measures that consist of consumer loans written by the Company and, during 2010, the Company’s participation interests in consumer loans written by a third-party lender’s MLOC product, and (ii) consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which are GAAP measures that consist of consumer loans written by third-party lenders through the CSO program that the Company guarantees. Management believes these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the consumer loan portfolio on an aggregate basis, including its evaluation of the loss provision for the Company-owned portfolio and third-party lender-owned portfolios that the Company guarantees. The Company also provides allowances and accruals for losses on consumer loans on a combined basis, which are GAAP measures.

Consumer loan balances. The outstanding combined portfolio balance of consumer loans, net of allowances and accruals for losses, increased $42.5 million, or 26.1%, to $205.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $163.0 million at June 30, 2010, primarily due to increased demand for consumer loan products in the e-commerce segment. The Company has experienced growth in consumer loan balances from the foreign e-commerce business in recent years and expects that foreign consumer loan balances will continue to comprise a greater percentage of the e-commerce segment’s total consumer loan balances in the future.

The combined consumer loan balance includes $197.6 million and $152.0 million of Company-owned consumer loan balances at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, before the allowance for losses of $37.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively, which has been provided in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The combined loan balance also includes $47.3 million and $51.0 million of consumer loan balances which are guaranteed by the Company at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, before the accrual for losses of $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which has been provided in the consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Consumer loans written. The amount of combined consumer loans written was $686.9 million in the current quarter, which is a decrease of $31.6 million, or 4.4%, from $718.5 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to the absence of consumer loans written in the MLOC services channel and decreased loans written in domestic markets in which consumer loans are no longer offered due to changes in laws. Mitigating the decrease in combined consumer loans written was continued growth in consumer loans written from e-commerce business in foreign markets and an increase in multi-payment longer-term installment loans.

 

32


Table of Contents

The average amount per consumer loan increased to $512 from $411 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, due to the absence of loans purchased through the MLOC channel, which generally have a lower average loan amount per loan, and an increase in multi-payment longer-term installment loans, which have a larger average loan amount than single-payment short-term loans. Management expects the average amount per consumer loan to increase for the remainder of 2011 due to the increase in installment lending.

Consumer loan loss experience. The Company maintains an allowance for losses on consumer loans at a level projected to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding consumer loan portfolio, as well as an accrual for expected losses related to loans guaranteed under the CSO program. The allowance and the accrual are based on historical trends in portfolio performance and the status of the balance owed by the customer. The Company generally charges off all consumer loans, including accrued interest, once they have been in default for 60 consecutive days, or sooner if deemed uncollectible. Generally, interest does not continue to accrue on consumer loans in default. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.

 

33


Table of Contents

The combined allowance and accrual for losses as a percentage of combined consumer loans and fees receivable balance decreased for the current quarter, to 16.1%, from 19.7% in the prior year quarter, predominately due to modifications in the Company’s underwriting models that have contributed to lower default rates and improvements in the collectability and loan performance quality of the overall portfolio, as discussed in the “Consumer loan loss provision” section above.

Due to the short-term nature of the consumer loan product and the high velocity of loans written, seasonal trends are evidenced in quarter-to-quarter performance. In the typical business cycle, the combined consumer loan loss provision as a percent of combined consumer loans written is lowest in the first quarter and increases throughout the year, with the final two quarters generally combining for the peak levels of loss provision expense. The fourth quarter 2010 consumer loan loss provision as a percent of combined consumer loans written was extraordinarily high due to the additional loan losses associated with the sudden interruption of the MLOC loan portfolio; however, this ratio has returned to a typical seasonal trend for the first two quarters of 2011.

The $8.9 million increase in operations expense at the retail services segment was primarily related to a combination of increases in personnel, occupancy and other expenses. Personnel expense increased $3.8 million during the current quarter, which was related to the newly acquired Maxit locations and to normal personnel additions, merit increases and incentive program accruals. Occupancy expense increased $2.0 million during the

current quarter, which related to the newly acquired Maxit locations and to normal rent increases. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to increases in maintenance, selling, travel and office expenses, due in part to the Maxit acquisition and other general expense increases.

The $4.3 million increase in operations expense at the e-commerce segment was primarily due to increases in personnel, marketing and other expenses. Personnel expense increased $1.8 million, primarily due to the addition of new personnel to support the e-commerce segment’s growth in foreign markets. The increase in marketing expense was mainly due to the online lending channel’s efforts to expand the Company’s customer base, both domestically and internationally.

Administration Expense: Total administration expense increased $7.2 million, or 28.3%, to $32.6 million in the current quarter, compared to $25.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel expense, including salaries, short-term management bonuses, and employee benefit costs. In addition, the increase was also due in part to product development costs at the Company’s e-commerce segment to support the segment’s continued growth.

The table below shows the administration expenses by significant category for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (dollars in thousands):

Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million, or 20.5%, to $12.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $10.2 million in the prior year quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense at the retail services segment increased $1.3 million, mainly due to the Maxit acquisition and normal facility upgrades and remodels. Additional depreciation of $0.8 million in the e-commerce segment was primarily related to systems development in support of new products, as well as normal system upgrades.

Management expects that the implementation of the Company’s new proprietary point-of-sale system will result in a significant increase in depreciation expense in the last six months of 2011. Management currently estimates the additional depreciation expense related to the proprietary point-of-sale system will add approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million in depreciation expense for the six-month period remaining in 2011.

Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 7.9%, to $5.8 million in the current quarter as compared to $5.4 million in the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective blended borrowing cost decreased to 5.2% in the current quarter from 5.3% in the prior year quarter, mainly due to the Company’s increased borrowings under its variable rate line of credit, which had a lower average interest rate in the current quarter compared to prior year quarter. During the current quarter, the average amount of debt outstanding increased $44.5 million, to $421.0 million from $376.5 million during the prior year quarter, primarily due to the Maxit acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2010, which was predominantly funded by borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The Company incurred non-cash interest expense of $0.9 million in the current quarter from its Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “2009 Convertible Notes”).

With respect to the Company’s foreign pawn operations, collateral underlying unredeemed pawn loans is not owned by the Company; therefore, proceeds from disposition are recorded as pawn loan fees and service charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Pawn loan fees and service charges. The average balance of pawn loans outstanding for the current six-month period increased by $35.5 million, or 20.5%, compared to the prior year six-month period, primarily due to organic growth in domestic retail operations and the additional pawn loan balances resulting from the Maxit acquisition that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, higher average gold prices have contributed to the growth in pawn loan balances as increased collateral values have supported customer demand, resulting in a higher average pawn loan amount.

Pawn loan fees and service charges increased $17.4 million, or 14.8%, to $135.2 million in the current six-month period from $117.8 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase is mainly due to higher average pawn loan balances during the current six-month period, which contributed $24.1 million of the increase, partially offset by lower annualized yield on pawn loans, which decreased pawn loan fees and service charges by $6.7 million during the current six-month period.

Annualized pawn loan yield was 130.6% in the current six-month period, compared to 137.0% in the prior year six-month period. The decrease in pawn loan yield is mostly due to a change in mix of pawn loans by market. In the current six-month period, the lower pawn loan yield is primarily due to the addition of the Maxit locations in the fourth quarter of 2010 which operate in markets with a lower pawn loan yield than the aggregate domestic portfolio in existence prior to the acquisition and an increase in pawn loan balances in existing markets that have a lower pawn loan yield relative to the aggregate domestic portfolio. In addition, a lower yield on the liquidation of forfeited loans at foreign pawn locations contributed slightly to the decrease.

The total proceeds from disposition of merchandise increased $35.2 million, or 13.8%, during the current six-month period from the prior year six-month period, and the total profit from the disposition of merchandise increased $16.7 million, or 17.5%, during the current six-month period from the prior year six-month period, mainly due to higher proceeds and profit margin on commercial sales and higher proceeds from retail sales. The consolidated merchandise turnover rate decreased to 3.0 times in the current six-month period, compared to 3.1 times in the prior year six-month period.

Proceeds from retail dispositions of merchandise increased $19.8 million, or 13.2%, during the current six-month period from the prior year six-month period, primarily due to organic growth in the Company’s domestic retail operations and the Maxit acquisition. In addition, the profit margin on the retail disposition of merchandise increased slightly to 40.0% in the current six-month period from 39.9% in the prior year six-month period.

Proceeds from commercial dispositions increased $15.5 million, or 14.6%, during the current six-month period over the prior year six-month period. The profit margin on commercial sales increased to 36.5% in the current six-month period from 33.6% in the prior year six-month period. These increases were primarily due to an increase in the average market prices for gold and diamonds, offset by lower refined gold sales volume as a result of lower forfeiture rates on the Company’s pawn loan portfolio secured by jewelry.

Consumer Loan Activities:

Consumer loans fees. Consumer loan fees increased $31.2 million, or 13.9%, to $255.5 million in the current six-month period, compared to $224.3 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase in consumer loan fees is primarily due to growth in the e-commerce segment from lending in the foreign markets in which the Company operates, which was offset by a decrease in revenue from domestic markets in which consumer loans are no longer offered due to changes in laws and the absence of fees from the Company’s MLOC business, which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Consumer loans written. The amount of combined consumer loans written was $1.32 billion in the current six-month period, which is a decrease of $39.5 million, or 2.9%, from $1.36 billion in the prior year six-month period, mainly due to the absence of consumer loans written in the MLOC services channel and a decrease in loans written in domestic markets in which consumer loans are no longer offered due to changes in laws. Mitigating the decrease in combined consumer loans written was continued growth in consumer loans written from e-commerce business in foreign markets and an increase in multi-payment longer-term installment loans.

The average amount per consumer loan increased to $506 from $416 during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, due to the absence of loans purchased through the MLOC channel, which generally have a lower average loan amount per loan, and an increase in multi-payment longer-term installment loans, which have a larger average loan amount than single-payment short-term loans. Management expects the average amount per consumer loan to increase for the remainder of 2011 due to the increase in installment lending.

Consumer loan loss provision. The consumer loan loss provision increased by $5.8 million to $84.6 million in the current six-month period, from $78.8 million in the prior year six-month period. The loss provision as a percentage of consumer loan fees decreased to 33.1% in the current six-month period from 35.1% in the prior year six-month period, primarily due to modifications in the Company’s underwriting models that have contributed to lower default rates and improvements in the collectability and loan performance quality of the overall portfolio in both the domestic and foreign portfolios, partially offset by higher loan balances in the foreign e-commerce markets, which generally have higher loss rates.

The $20.5 million increase in operations expense at the retail services segment was primarily related to a combination of increases in personnel, occupancy and other expenses. Personnel expense increased $8.3 million during the current six-month period, which was mainly related to the newly acquired Maxit locations and to normal

personnel additions, merit increases and incentive program accruals. Occupancy expense increased $4.1 million during the current six-month period, which mainly related to the newly acquired Maxit locations and to normal rent increases. The increase in other operating expenses was due in part to adjustments made by the Company during the current six-month period totaling $2.5 million in the foreign operations that are included in the retail services segment, predominately related to the impairment of the existing point-of-sale system, which will be replaced beginning in the second six-month period of 2011, as well as adjustments for other impaired assets, severance and miscellaneous operating expenses. Management expects that these expenses are non-recurring as they reflect the continued transition from the previous management of Prenda Fácil and strategic re-orientation of the business activities which was initiated at the end of 2010. In addition, other operating expenses increased mainly due to increased maintenance, selling, travel and office expenses due in part to the Maxit acquisition and general expense increases.

The $9.5 million increase in operations expense at the e-commerce segment was primarily due to increases in marketing expense and personnel expense. Marketing expense increased $3.5 million during the current six-month period, mainly due to the online lending channel’s efforts to expand the Company’s customer base, both domestically and internationally. Personnel expense increased $3.2 million, primarily due to the addition of new personnel to support the e-commerce segment’s growth in foreign markets. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily related to increased selling expenses to support the segment’s growth in foreign markets.

Administration Expense: Total administration expense increased $8.7 million, or 17.1% to $59.7 million in the current six-month period, compared to $51.0 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel expense, including salaries, short-term management bonuses, and employee benefit costs. In addition, the increase was also due to product development costs at the Company’s e-commerce segment to support the segment’s continued growth.

The table below shows the administration expense by significant category for the current and the prior year six-month periods (dollars in thousands):

Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.9 million, or 18.2% to $24.8 million in the current six-month period, compared to $20.9 million the prior year six-month period. Depreciation and amortization expense at the retail services segment increased $2.2 million, mainly due to the Maxit acquisition and normal facility upgrades and remodels. Additional depreciation of $1.7 million in the e-commerce segment was primarily related to systems development in support of new products, as well as normal system upgrades.

Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 5.3%, to $11.4 million in the current six-month period as compared to $10.9 million in the prior year six-month period. The Company’s effective blended borrowing cost was 5.0% in the current six-month period, down from 5.2% in the prior year six-month period, mainly due to the Company’s increased borrowings under its variable rate line of credit which had a lower average interest rate compared to prior year six-month period. During the current six-month period, the average amount of debt outstanding increased $38.8 million to $426.7 million from $387.9 million during the prior year six-month period, primarily due to the Maxit acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2010, which was primarily funded by borrowings under the Company’s line of credit. The Company incurred non-cash interest expense of $1.8 million in the current six-month period from its 2009 Convertible Notes.

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $53.3 million, or 42.2%, from $126.3 million for the prior year six-month period to $179.6 million for the current six-month period. The significant components of the increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the current six-month period compared to the prior six month period included a $10.1 million increase in net income, a $5.8 million increase in the consumer loan loss provision, a non-cash expense, primarily as a result of growth in foreign consumer loans, and a $3.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a non-cash expense. In addition, changes in current and deferred income taxes resulting from a change in the timing of tax deductions related to internally-developed software costs provided cash of $25.0 million.

Management believes that its expected cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating liquidity needs.

Cash flows from investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $58.0 million, or 67.5%, in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Significant components of this increase included a $27.7 million increase in cash used in pawn lending activities due to growth in the Company’s domestic pawn loan portfolio, and a $23.0 million increase in cash used in consumer loan lending activities, mainly due to an increase in the Company’s foreign consumer loan portfolio. In addition, during the current six-month period, the Company increased cash used for the purchase of property and equipment by $11.5 million, primarily for the establishment and remodeling of lending locations and for the development of a new point-of-sale system for domestic retail services locations and system developments to support the growth and introduction of new products in the e-commerce segment, which was offset by a $3.9 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions during the six-month period.

Table of Contents

Management anticipates that expenditures for property and equipment for the remainder of 2011 will be between $20.0 million and $35.0 million, primarily for the remodeling of selected operating units, for the completion and rollout of product delivery and information systems, including the multi-year project to upgrade the Company’s proprietary point-of-sale system, the deployment of the Company’s modified U.S. point-of-sale system into its foreign retail services business and for the establishment of approximately 10 to 20 new retail services locations.

Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities decreased $11.5 million during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. During the current six-month period, the amount of net debt repayments, including debt financing costs, decreased by $22.0 million, from $31.2 million in the prior year six-month period to $9.2 million in the current six-month period. This decrease was partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in net cash used for the repurchase of shares of Company common stock through open market transactions, pursuant to an authorization by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 26, 2011, and through the repurchase of shares of common stock for tax payments related to stock-based compensation.

On March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new credit agreement for up to $330.0 million of credit with a group of commercial banks (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on March 31, 2015 and consists of a $280.0 million line of credit, which includes the ability to borrow up to $50.0 million in specified foreign currencies or U.S. dollars (the “Domestic and Multi-currency Line”), and a $50.0 million term loan facility (the “2015 Variable Rate Notes”). Beginning on March 31, 2012, the 2015 Variable Rate Notes require quarterly installment payments of $2.1 million, with any outstanding principal remaining due at maturity on March 31, 2015.

In conjunction with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all outstanding revolving credit loans under its $300.0 million domestic line of credit due 2012 (the “USD Line of Credit”) and its variable rate senior unsecured note due 2012 (the “2012 Variable Rate Notes”) with proceeds of the Credit Agreement. The outstanding amounts under the USD Line of Credit and 2012 Variable Rate Notes, respectively, as of March 30, 2011, were $154.0 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

During the prior year six-month period, the Company issued $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2017 senior unsecured notes in a private placement pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated January 28, 2010 by and among the Company and certain purchasers listed therein.

On March 30, 2011, in conjunction with the establishment of the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a separate credit agreement for the issuance of up to $20.0 million in letters of credit (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). The Company had standby letters of credit of $16.1 million issued under the Letter of Credit Facility at June 30, 2011. Previously, these letters of credit were provided under the USD line of credit by reducing the amount available to the Company.

Each of the Company’s credit agreements and senior unsecured notes require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its debt agreements. Management believes that the borrowings available ($95.7 million at June 30, 2011) under the Credit Agreement and anticipated cash generated from operations and current working capital of $565.3 million is sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital requirements for its businesses. Should the Company experience a significant decline in demand for the Company’s products and services or other unexpected changes in financial condition, management would evaluate several alternatives to ensure that it is in a position to meet liquidity requirements. The Company’s strategies to generate additional liquidity may include the sale of assets, reductions in capital spending, changes to the issuance of debt or equity securities and/or its management of its current assets. The characteristics of the Company’s current assets, specifically the ability to rapidly liquidate gold jewelry inventory and adjust outflows of cash in its lending practices, gives the Company flexibility to quickly modify its business strategy to increase cash flow from its business, if necessary.

Share Repurchases

On January 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of its common stock and cancelled the Company’s previous share repurchase authorization. During the current six-month period, the Company purchased 330,000 shares in open market transactions under this authorization for a total investment of $14.3 million, including commissions. Management anticipates that it will continue to periodically purchase shares under this authorization based on its assessment of market characteristics, the liquidity position of the Company and alternative prospects for the investment of capital to expand the business and pursue strategic objectives.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company arranges for consumers to obtain consumer loan products from multiple independent third-party lenders through the CSO program. When a consumer executes a credit services agreement with the Company under the CSO program, the Company agrees, for a fee payable to the Company by the consumer, to provide a variety of credit services to the consumer, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For consumer loan products originated by third-party lenders under the CSO program, each lender is responsible for evaluating each of its customers’ applications, determining whether to approve a consumer loan based on an application and determining the amount of the consumer loan. While the Company performs its own analysis of customers before agreeing to guarantee such loans, the Company is not involved in the lenders’ consumer loan approval processes or in determining the lenders’ approval procedures or criteria. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount of active consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO program was $47.3 million and $51.0 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by the Company.

Regulatory Developments

In 2010 the United States Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. This legislation authorizes the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad regulatory powers over consumer credit products such as those offered by the Company. The Company cannot currently predict whether the Bureau will impose additional regulations that could affect the credit products offered by the Company. However, if the Bureau were to promulgate regulations that adversely impact the credit products offered by the Company, such regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and gold prices. The Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposure to market risks since December 31, 2010.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2011 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent all possible error and fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
