Further highlights for the year were:

In addition, 14 ‘greenfield’ company owned stores were opened in the UK and one in Australia, taking total corporate store numbers as at 30 June 2011 to 88 – 46 in the UK and 42 in Australia. Since the year end a further 6 Greenfield corporate stores have opened in the UK taking their store numbers to 52 and total numbers to 94.

• The corporate store network in the UK and Australia has seen revenues grow by 61.3% to $100.9 million producing a combined EBIT of $8.6 million (up 24.7% on 2010), with only a part year contribution from 21 staggered store acquisitions.

• The personal loan book in Australia grew 36.1% to $52.7 million and the loan book in the UK grew 746% to £5 million. The personal loans business generated an EBIT of $24.4 million (2010 $15.4 million) which is 58.6% up on the previous year.

The directors of Cash Converters International Limited (‘Cash Converters’) are pleased to report a record profit result of $27.6 million for the 2011 financial year, an increase of 27.5% over the previous year.

 ...This result is particularly pleasing considering the impact of the Queensland floods which severely damaged our corporately owned store located in Goodna. Write-offs to inventory and fixtures and fittings, combined with damage to customers’ pawned goods and the prolonged store closure have all had a negative profit impact, resulting in a loss against budget of approximately $1.5 million. The insurance company has refused to honour our claim in respect
to damages and losses incurred pursuant to the flood. Cash Converters intend to challenge this decision. The store has been re-fitted and was re-opened in July. Partially compensating the above losses is a one-off gain of approximately $1.2 million relating to a reduction in contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the Goodna store.

The Group has also incurred the following unbudgeted, one-off costs, during the financial year:
 

Professional fees associated with the unwinding of the Dividend Access Scheme and the issue of a catch up prospectus in relation to Cash Converter’s London Stock Exchange listing, required by the United Kingdom Listing Authority (“UKLA”), amounted to approximately $800,000 in fees which were charged to the income statement; and Professional fees associated with the transaction with the EZCORP alliance announced to the ASX on 22 March 2011 have resulted in a charge to the income statement of approximately $500,000.
In total these unbudgeted one-off items have had an approximate $1.6 million negative impact on the 30 June 2011 profit before tax. Other than the gain noted above there were no unbudgeted or one-off revenue streams.

In addition to the above costs the income statement included the following additional costs not previously incurred:
The Long Term Incentive plan approved at the last Annual General Meeting as part of the remuneration package for the Managing Director has resulted in an expense of approximately $700,000;
An expense of approximately $460,000 in relation to stamp duty on acquisitions;
Amortisation of re-acquired rights and customer relationships of $444,700; and
An expense of approximately $700,000 in relation to a GST adjustment (Division 135) related to prior year store acquisitions.
$27.6 million for the 2011 financial year, an increase of 27.5% over the previous year.
