Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 6, 2015, QC Holdings, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The attached press release includes adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that management uses and that the company believes may be useful to investors. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, adjusted to exclude the charges related to stock options and restricted stock awards, non-cash gains or losses associated with property dispositions and foreign currency effects, and discontinued operations. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included in a schedule to the press release filed with this report.
This non-GAAP financial measure is intended to supplement the company's financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) included in the press release by providing management and investors with additional insight regarding results of operations. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure. Management regularly reviews adjusted EBITDA as it assesses its current and prospective operating results. Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its strategic planning for the company and in evaluating the results of operations of the company. The compensation committee has used adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of the company and management and in evaluating certain components of executive compensation, including performance-based annual incentive programs. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included in a schedule to the press release filed with this report. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and may be useful to investors because certain of the adjusted items represent non-cash charges to net income, and certain of the adjusted items can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period, due in part to the timing of equity-based awards for compensation purposes.
Management recognizes that its use of adjusted EBITDA has various limitations, including the fact that the adjusted items may be a normally recurring expense or may involve the actual use of cash. Nonetheless, management believes that this adjusted EBITDA measure provides additional insight for investors into the operating results and business trends of the company.
The information in Item 2.02 of this report and in the exhibit attached to this report is not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 or 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the accompanying exhibit is not incorporated by reference into any filing with the SEC made by the registrant, whether made before or after the date of this report, regardless of any general incorporation language in that filing.

EXHIBIT 99.1
QC Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCCO) reported a loss from continuing operations of $981,000 and revenues of $32.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, income from continuing operations totaled $106,000 and revenues were $66.5 million.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, income from continuing operations totaled $215,000 and $3.4 million, respectively, and revenues were $36.0 million and $74.5 million, respectively.
The three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 include discontinued operations relating to branches that were closed during each period. Schedules reconciling adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are provided below.
** Second Quarter **
Revenues declined $4.0 million, or 11.1%, quarter-to-quarter due to lower interest and fees from the company's consumer loan products, indicative of competitive pressures as customers explore alternative loan products and distribution channels.
Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses, totaled $16.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, slightly higher than prior year's second quarter.
Loan losses decreased $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, totaling $10.6 million versus $12.0 million in prior year's quarter. The loss ratio, 33.2%, was the same for each period. Improvements in the loss experience for the company's higher-dollar installment loan products due to improved underwriting were offset by higher losses in single-pay products, largely as a result of an unusually strong second quarter 2014.
Regional and corporate expenses totaled $6.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $867,000 from second quarter 2014. This decrease reflects lower overall compensation and reduced professional fees.
** Six Months Ended June 30 **
The company's revenues decreased $8.0 million, or 10.7%, to $66.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 for the same reasons noted in the quarterly discussion above.
Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses, were essentially the same period-to-period. Modest declines in compensation were offset by higher marketing costs.
During the first half of 2015, the company reported loan losses of $18.7 million compared to $20.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The company's loss ratio increased to 28.1% versus 27.0% in first half 2014. This increase reflects higher losses in single-pay products, largely as a result of an unusually strong second quarter 2014.
Regional and corporate expenses totaled $13.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $14.1 million in 2014. This decline reflects lower professional fees.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations |
Adjusted EBITDA |
(in thousands) |
(Unaudited) |
|
|
|
|
|
QC reports adjusted EBITDA (income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, charges related to stock options and restricted stock awards, and non-cash gains or losses associated with property disposition) as a financial performance measure that is not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). QC believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance metric for our investors and is a measure of operating and financial performance that is commonly reported and widely used by financial and industry analysts, investors and other interested parties because it eliminates significant non-cash charges to earnings. It is important to note that non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered as alternative indicators of financial performance compared to net income or other financial statement data presented in the company's consolidated financial statements prepared pursuant to GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures.
