<font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><b>First Cash Completes Share Repurchase Program; Board Approves Additional Repurchase Authorization</b></font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">ARLINGTON, Texas, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCFS) today announced that it has completed the share repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors in July 2004, under which the Company bought back approximately 10 percent, or 3,200,000 shares, of the Company&#146;s stock. The Company also announced that the Board has authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 additional shares of First Cash&#146;s outstanding common stock. </font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Since the commencement of the share repurchase program in July 2004, First Cash has repurchased 3,200,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $39.4 million, or approximately $12.32 per share. During the second quarter of 2006, First Cash repurchased approximately 802,000 shares to close out the 2004-authorized program. </font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Rick Powell, Chairman of the Board, commented, &#147;The timely completion of our initial share repurchase program provides an important and recurring benefit to our shareholders. Given our confidence in First Cash&#146;s ability to simultaneously sustain its consistent growth and generate strong levels of free cash flow, the Board continues to believe that future share repurchases are an excellent use of capital that should enhance shareholder value over the long-term.&#148; </font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Under its share repurchase programs, the Company can purchase common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with independent third-parties. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on the level of cash balances, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. No time limit was set for completion of repurchases under the new authorization. </font></p>
<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">About First Cash</font></p>

<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Forward-Looking Information</font></p>

<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">This release may contain forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (&#147;First Cash&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;). Forward-looking statements, as that  term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;projects,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; or &#147;anticipates,&#148; or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Forward- looking statements can also be identified by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements
relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this release
include, without limitation, the Company&#146;s expectations for growth and the
effect of share repurchases on shareholder value. These statements are made to
provide the public with management&#146;s current assessment of the
Company&#146;s business. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in forward- looking statements are reasonable, there can be no
assurances that such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders
are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties. The forward- looking statements contained in this release speak
only as of the date of this statement, and the Company expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such
statement to reflect any change in the Company&#146;s expectations or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by
some of the statements made in this release. Such factors are difficult to
predict and many are beyond the control of the Company and may include changes
in regional, national or international economic conditions, changes in consumer
borrowing and repayment behaviors, changes or increases in competition, the
ability to locate, open and integrate new stores, the ability to operate as a
credit services organization in Texas, the ability to successfully refer credit
services customers to an independent lender who can provide credit to these
customers, new legislative initiatives or governmental regulations, or changes
to existing laws and regulations affecting payday advance businesses, credit
services organizations and pawn businesses in both the U.S. and Mexico,
unforeseen litigation, changes in interest rates, changes in tax rates or
policies, changes in gold prices, changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
future business decisions, and other uncertainties. These and other risks and
uncertainties are indicated in the Company&#146;s 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K (see &#147;Item 1A. - Risk Factors&#148;) and updated in subsequent
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. </font></p>
