     FIRST CASH FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING
                             TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT

ARLINGTON, Texas, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As previously announced, the
Board of Directors of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCFS)
approved a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock in the form of a
stock dividend. As a result of the stock split, shareholders will receive one
additional common share for every share held on the record date of February 6,
2006.

The additional shares will be mailed or delivered on or about February 20, 2006,
by the Company's transfer agent, Registrar & Transfer Company. Since this
payment date is a federal holiday (President's Day), the ex-split date will now
be February 22, 2006, which is the first date that First Cash's common shares
will trade on Nasdaq at the new split-adjusted price.
