Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR), a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers, today announced record results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Fiscal 2008 third quarter highlights:
- Consolidated revenue was $135.3 million, an increase of 26.4% or $28.2 million compared to the prior year period.
- The consolidated loan loss provision, as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue, improved to 19.1% compared to 21.8% for the fiscal 2008 second quarter and 20.8% for the fiscal 2007 third quarter.
- Store and regional margin increased 22.1% or $9.3 million compared to the prior year period.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $38.3 million, an increase of 23.2% or $7.2 million compared to the prior year.
- Pre-tax income was $22.6 million, an increase of 19.7% or $3.7 million compared to the prior year period.
- Net income was $13.8 million compared to $11.7 million for the prior year's quarter, representing an increase of 18.3%, and fully-diluted earnings per share was $0.56 compared to $0.48 for the prior year.
- The Company acquired 15 stores and opened 14 de novo stores across the U.S., Canadian and U.K. markets.
- The Company continued its focus on pawn lending in its U.K. stores, which primarily consists of loans on collateralized gold jewelry, building the product line to what the Company believes to be the third largest pawn operation, in terms of pawn broking revenue, in the U.K.
Commenting on the results for the quarter, Jeff Weiss, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with the strong results for the third quarter driven by growth in both our domestic and international markets. Consolidated revenue for the third quarter grew by 26.4% or $28.2 million, while net income increased by 18.3%. Moreover, our U.S. business unit realized year-over-year revenue growth of 29.0%, principally driven by the acquisitions in Southeast Florida and the Midwestern states. We are very pleased with the performance of these two acquisitions, which have thus far exceeded our expectations."
Mr. Weiss continued, "During the quarter, we continued to execute on our multi-country, multi-product, and multi-channel growth strategy by increasing our global store footprint by 29 stores, consisting of 14 de novo stores along with the acquisition of 15 additional stores collectively in the U.S., Canadian, and U.K. markets. Additionally, on April 3, 2008, we opened our first store in the Euro-Zone in the Republic of Ireland. We are excited about the growth potential of this new market, which has both excellent customer demographics with no significant competition. We expect to expand further into the Irish market through both additional de novo store openings and opportunistic acquisitions of smaller store chains in the coming months."
Mr. Weiss continued, "The past few months have been very volatile with regard to the financial markets and, as many commentators have noted, the effect of this turbulence is now being felt in the economy. While we do not expect to be completely immune from the economic turbulence, our customers primarily work service sector jobs, which according to recent employment data have fared better than other areas of the economy. Internationally, the Canadian and U.K. economies, while still growing, seem to be slowing down somewhat. In the U.S., based principally upon what we read and hear, a recession has either started or is unavoidable. Much of the financial difficulty in the U.S. appears to revolve around the housing market. While we would expect the effect of the decline in the housing market to ripple through the overall economy at varying degrees, fewer than 25% of our customers own their own homes and as such should be impacted to a lesser degree. We continue to remind our investors that our consumer loan products are very short-term in nature and if we see evidence of economic weakness in any of our markets, we can quickly curtail our lending practices and reduce our overall risk exposure. During this quarter, we did just that, and as a result, our consolidated loan loss provision as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue for the quarter was 19.1%, which declined sequentially from 21.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and year-over-year from 20.8% for the fiscal 2007 third quarter."
Mr. Weiss continued, "We believe that we are in a period of reduced visibility, both in the broader economy and the markets we serve. As a result, for the foreseeable future, we will maintain a conservative stance in terms of both credit risk and cost management. However, we have ample liquidity with no near-term debt repayment obligations, which should allow us to continue to invest in the future growth of our Company through the development of new products, additional de novo store openings and the continued acquisition of well managed store chains."
For the fiscal 2008 third quarter ended March 31, 2008, consolidated check cashing revenue was $51.5 million representing an increase of 20.7%, or $8.8 million, year-over-year. The U.S. business segment, which includes the contributions from the recent acquisitions in Southeast Florida and the Midwestern states, realized growth of 33.1%, while the Canadian business grew by 18.1% over the previous year's period. Additionally, check cashing fees in the U.K. increased by 9.9% over the prior year. On a consolidated basis, the face amount of the average check cashed increased 11.5% to $541 for the quarter compared to $485 for the prior year period, and the average fee per check cashed increased by 6.1% to $19.96.
Consolidated consumer lending revenue was $73.3 million for the third quarter, representing an increase of 21.8% or $13.1 million compared to the prior year period. Consumer lending revenue in the U.K. increased by 40.5%, while the U.S. consumer lending business increased by 18.1%. Along with strong growth in the single-payment loan product for the quarter, the U.K. consumer lending business benefited from an increase in pawn lending activities, which primarily consist of loans on collateralized gold jewelry. The recent increase in the price of gold has enabled the U.K. subsidiary to increase the amount loaned on pawned gold stock and has also increased the resale and smelting value of the collateral jewelry. The Company's pawn business represents the third largest pawn operation in the United Kingdom.
With nearly all of the Canadian provinces engaged in either drafting their respective payday loan legislation or formulating product regulations and rate structure, the Company previously announced its intention to significantly diminish the magnitude and tone of its marketing and advertising campaigns until there is more certainty as to the timing of new regulation to be enacted in each province. The Company believes that the reduction of its marketing campaigns, combined with increased media coverage highlighting new potential regulations, has lead to an increased level of confusion among customers with respect to the cost and availability of small consumer loans in Canada. Additionally, a significant focus of our Canadian management team has increasingly been directed and applied in support of the industry-wide effort to establish sensible provincial regulation, in order to secure a solid foundation for the future of the industry. However, in spite of all of these conflicting influences and priorities, consumer lending revenue in Canada still grew by 16.8% over the previous year's quarter, and total Canadian revenues grew by 19.7% over the prior year's quarter.
Total Company funded loan originations were $481.4 million for the quarter, representing an increase of 39.5%, or $136.4 million, compared to the prior year period. Company funded loan originations in Canada increased by 10.4% or $21.2 million and in the U.K., loan originations increased by 45.9% or $32.3 million. U.S. loan originations for the quarter increased by 118.7% or $82.9 million compared to the prior year's quarter, driven primarily by the continuing transition of a portion of the U.S. loan portfolio from bank-funded to Company funded loans, as well as the recent store acquisitions in Southeast Florida and the Midwestern states.
Money transfer fees for the quarter increased significantly by 35.0% year-over-year, driven by growth in all of the Company's geographic markets. Other revenue increased by 51.5% for the quarter, due to strong growth in the Canadian income tax product and other ancillary products across the U.S., Canada, and United Kingdom.
The Company's store and regional margin of $51.2 million for the quarter represented an increase of 22.1% or $9.3 million over the prior year's quarter. Corporate expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 13.4% as compared to the previous year's quarter of 12.9%, reflecting a continuing investment in increased regulatory and lobbying costs, and additional investment in management and infrastructure to support the Company's global de novo store growth, and the management and integration of recent acquisitions.
Income before income taxes increased $3.7 million, or 19.7% to $22.6 million, while net income was $13.8 million for the quarter compared to $11.7 million for the previous year. Fully-diluted earnings per share were $0.56 for the quarter compared to $0.48 per share for the prior year's quarter.
Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance for fiscal year 2008 of revenue between $510.0 million and $530.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of between $145.0 million and $152.0 million, income before income taxes of between $91.0 million and $96.0 million, and earnings per share of between $2.15 and $2.30.
The reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and income before income taxes is consistent with the historical reconciliation which is presented at the end of this news release.

Pro forma Net Income Reconciliation
Pro forma Net Income is not an item prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pro forma Net Income is net income adjusted to exclude one-time charges as described below. Dollar presents Pro forma Net Income as an indication of the Company's financial performance excluding one-time charges so as to show comparative results of its operations. Not all companies calculate Pro forma Net Income in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The table below reconciles income before income taxes as reported on Dollar's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations to Pro forma Net Income (dollars in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Adjusted EBITDA is not an item prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation, amortization, charges related to non-qualified stock options and restricted shares, and other items described below. Dollar presents Adjusted EBITDA as an indication of operating performance and its ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements. Adjusted EBITDA does not indicate whether Dollar's cash flow will be sufficient to fund all of its cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP. Dollar believes that Adjusted EBITDA amounts should be considered by prospective investors because Dollar uses them as one means of analyzing its ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements, and Dollar understands that they are used by some investors as one measure of a Company's historical ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements. Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
