Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE: CSH) announced today that net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $23,911,000 (79 cents per share) compared to net income of $25,811,000 (86 cents per share) for the same period in 2008. Earnings per share for the first three months of 2009 exceeded management�s updated guidance of 76 to 78 cents per share as discussed in the Company�s press release dated April 9, 2009 and even though earnings ended down 7% year over year, they are significantly better than management�s initial expectation published in January 2009 of down 25%. Increased total revenue, led by better than expected results from pawn lending operations and prolonged availability of certain online cash advance markets contributed to the higher than expected first quarter results. In addition, earnings in the first quarter of 2009 benefited from an improvement in loss rates related to the Company�s short-term cash advance product that led to a decrease in the provision for loan losses in the period compared to the same period in 2008.

Total revenue increased 7% to $268.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $250.9 million in the year ago period. Revenue from the Company�s pawn segment, which includes finance and service charges on pawn loans and proceeds from the sale of merchandise, increased 14% to $182.7 million from $160.0 million in year-over-year first quarter comparisons. This was partially offset by a decline in the total revenue from the Company�s cash advance segment, which posted a 6% decrease in total revenue to $80.3 million during the first three months of 2009 compared to $85.5 million in the same period in 2008. The decline in revenue in the cash advance segment was largely attributable to operations in states impacted by changes in the regulatory environment late in 2008.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Daniel R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, �The first quarter results were above our initial expectations due to the strong contribution of both our U.S. and Mexico based pawn operations and the unexpected continuation of our online cash advance offering in certain states. Revenue from pawn loans was up 22% because of the higher balances outstanding and portfolio performance, which led the greater earnings results in this segment. As we expected, revenue and earnings from our cash advance segment were adversely affected by rule changes to our cash advance product offering in Ohio and Florida and to a lesser extent in Pennsylvania. The first quarter of 2009 has been a period of significant adjustment which we have handled better than we expected.�

Cash America will host a conference call to discuss the first quarter results on Thursday, April 23rd at 7:45 AM CDT. A live web cast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company�s corporate web site (www.cashamerica.com). To listen to the live call, please go to the web site at least fifteen minutes early to register, download, and install any necessary audio software. A replay will be available on the Company�s web site for 90 days following the conference call.

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.035 (3.5 cents) per share cash dividend on common shares outstanding. The dividend will be paid at the close of business on May 20, 2009 to shareholders of record on May 6, 2009.

Outlook for the Second Quarter of 2009 and the 2009 Fiscal Year

Management believes that the opportunities for sustained growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with the customer demand for the credit products provided by the Company, which take the form of pawn loans and short-term cash advances. Other elements expected to affect the growth in revenue include the potential impact of the regulatory governance of loan products, the continued growth and development of the Mexican pawn operations and the development and expansion of the Company�s online and card based distribution channels for its cash advance products. The impact of regulatory changes in our Ohio storefront locations and the anticipated decrease in customers in Pennsylvania and Minnesota in the online channel will cause revenue and earnings for the cash advance segment to be down in the second quarter. In addition, the absence of Federal Stimulus Payments will likely cause revenue and earnings from U.S. pawn operations to be below the prior year. However, management believes the anniversary revenue challenges discussed for the first half of 2009 could begin to improve in the second half of the year if loan demand firms for both pawn and cash advance products. While the Company intends to maintain its current underwriting standards, higher loan demand for the cash advance product could lead to higher loan losses associated with the difficult consumer economic environment. Based on its views and on the preceding factors, management expects that the second quarter 2009 earnings per share will be between 50 and 53 cents per share compared to 67 cents per share in the second quarter 2008. Management estimates that for the full year 2009 earnings per share will be between $3.10 and $3.30 per share compared to $2.70 per share in fiscal 2008.
