"Cash collections grew in the quarter driven primarily by increases in nonlegal collections in the U.S. and by Core and Insolvency in Europe.  In the U.S., we continue to see customers choosing to voluntarily resolve their debts through the call centers and digital platforms.  In Europe, cash collections were driven by record portfolio purchases in 2019, as well as strong investment levels in 2020 at increased underwritten net returns," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer.  "Looking ahead, we entered 2021 with a similar base of maximum forward flow commitments as 2020, but we expect they will deliver more actual investment volume.  We believe that the pipeline for 2021 is strong, particularly in Europe, and we remain optimistic about supply globally."

  • Cash collections in the quarter increased $25.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 22% increase in U.S. call center and other cash collections, a 12% increase in Europe Core cash collections and a 42% increase in Europe Insolvency cash collections. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in U.S. legal and Americas Insolvency cash collections. While cash collections decreased in Other Americas, this was primarily driven by foreign exchange rates. For the full year, cash collections increased $164.5 million compared to the full year of 2019.
  • Portfolio income was $233.5 million compared to $262.8 million in income recognized on finance receivables in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the full year, portfolio income was $984.0 million compared to $998.4 million in income recognized on finance receivables for the same period in 2019.
  • Changes in expected recoveries were a net positive of $36.9 million. This amount reflects $66.3 million in recoveries in excess of forecast from overperformance during the quarter, partially offset by a negative $29.4 million adjustment for changes in expected future recoveries. The Company has assumed that a portion of the current quarter overperformance is acceleration of future collections and made cash forecast adjustments deemed appropriate given the current environment.

Expenses

  • Operating expenses in the quarter decreased $1.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in legal collection costs mainly as a result of a shift in collections from the legal channel to the call centers and digital platforms. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in outside fees and services which was driven by a number of factors, none of which was individually material. For the full year, operating expenses decreased $29.7 million compared to the same period in 2019.
  • Interest expense, net decreased $0.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower average interest rates. For the full year, interest expense, net was almost flat to the same period in 2019.
  • The effective tax rate for the full year was 19.7%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

  • The Company purchased $289.8 million in finance receivables in the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of up to $501.9 million with $324.1 million in the Americas and $177.8 million in Europe.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresPRA Group, Inc. reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  However, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus interest expense, net and other; plus income tax expense (or less income tax benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus recoveries applied to negative allowance; less gain on sale of subsidiaries; less foreign exchange gain (or plus foreign exchange loss); and plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. PRA Group, Inc. presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of operations and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of operations and financial performance and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
