PR Newswire

NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 8, 2018

NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PRA Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2018. Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. was $9.9 million compared to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $0.22 compared to $0.34 in the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. was $50.6 million, or $1.11 in diluted earnings per share, compared to $75.4 million, or $1.64 in diluted earnings per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The prior year nine months results included a pre-tax gain of $48.5 million related to the sale of two fee-based businesses.

Third Quarter Highlights

Continued healthy supply in the U.S. allowed for the second highest quarterly investment in Americas Core portfolios of $170.4 million. Total investment for the quarter was $237.5 million compared to $210.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Record Estimated Remaining Collections (ERC) of $5.81 billion which increased $388 million from the third quarter of 2017.
The Company invested more than originally anticipated in the legal collections channel during the third quarter, increasing U.S. legal collection expenses by $14.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2017.
Global cash collections of $389.3 million, an increase of 2% compared to the third quarter of 2017, driven by a 12% increase in U.S. call center collections and an 11% increase in U.S. legal cash collections.
Income recognized on finance receivables of $223.2 million compared to $200.7 million in the third quarter of 2017.

"The Company made significant investments in the U.S. during the quarter. Americas Core portfolio investment was the second highest quarter ever directly following the record we set in the second quarter of 2018. Additionally, we invested significant amounts in the U.S. legal collections channel and are ahead of our original projections. Based on this, it is possible we will start to see the legal cash collection portion of the more recent vintages realized earlier than previously expected which could have a positive impact on yields in the future," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "This continues the trend of the past couple of years which have been a story of investment in people, digital, data and legal. These investments are designed to build long-term sustainable value for our shareholders and allow us to be poised for action in each of our markets."

Cash collections in the quarter increased 2% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The increase was largely due to U.S. call center collections increasing 12% and U.S. legal collections increasing 11% compared to the third quarter of 2017. This was partially offset by a 17% decrease in Global Insolvency cash collections primarily due to decreased purchasing in 2018 and a 13% decrease in other Americas Core cash collections primarily due to currency changes in Brazil. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total cash collections increased 8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
For the quarter, cash collections on fully amortized pools were $11.8 million and cash collections on nonaccrual pools were $6.5 million.
Income recognized on finance receivables excluding allowance charges increased 11% compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to yield increases on certain pools in Americas Core and Europe Core, as well as Americas Core portfolio investment during 2017 and 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, income recognized on finance receivables excluding allowance charges increased 12% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Allowance charges in the quarter were $8.3 million primarily due to allowances incurred in the 2013 and 2014 U.S. Core vintages.
Fee income and other income in the quarter was $2.7 million.

Expenses

Operating expenses in the quarter increased $26.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2017 largely due to increased legal collection expenses, as the Company has more accounts qualifying for the legal collection channel and increases in compensation and employee services primarily due to a significant expansion in U.S. collection staff. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, operating expenses increased $54.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
During the quarter, the Company recorded $3.0 million in noncash interest expense, $2.5 million in amortization of debt issuance costs, and $1.0 million in amortization of intangible assets. The Company also recorded a $0.5 million gain on the change in fair value on interest rate swap agreements.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 17.0%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

The Company invested $237.5 million in finance receivables in the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of $583.5 million.
