PRA Group Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

PRAA

NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PRA Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2021. The Company reported net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $56.0 million in the second quarter, compared with $57.9 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $1.22 versus $1.26 in the second quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. was $114.4 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, compared with $77.0 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, during the same period in 2020.

Second Quarter Highlights (compared to the second quarter of 2020, unless otherwise indicated)

  • Total cash collections increased 7% to $543.8 million.
  • Total revenues increased 5% to $285.6 million.
  • Cash efficiency ratio1 of 66.8%.
  • Diluted earnings per share were $1.22.
  • Debt to Adjusted EBITDA2 for the last 12 months improved to 1.69x from 1.99x at December 31, 2020.
  • Total portfolio purchases of $219.7 million, an increase of $61 million, or 38%, from the first quarter of 2021.
  • Estimated remaining collections (ERC) of $6.1 billion.
  • $1.2 billion available for portfolio purchases.

"This quarter's strong performance is yet another in a line of outstanding results that we have delivered in the past year and a half. Global cash collections were only $12 million behind our record setting first quarter and Europe delivered the largest quarter ever. Portfolio purchases during the quarter increased on a sequential basis, with the Americas registering its largest quarter since the second quarter of 2020, and Europe recording its second best Q2 since PRA became a global enterprise in July 2014," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "Based on our strong results and capital position, the Board of Directors approved a $150 million share repurchase program."

  1. Calculated by dividing cash receipts less operating expense by cash receipts.
  2. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found at the end of this press release.

  • Cash collections in the quarter increased $33.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a 42% increase in Europe cash collections and a 20% increase in Other Americas & Australia Core cash collections. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in U.S. call centers and U.S. legal cash collections. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash collections increased $95.2 million compared to the same period last year.
  • Total portfolio revenue was $282.7 million, an increase of $14.6 million, compared to $268.1 million during the second quarter of 2020. The Company has assumed that the majority of the current quarter overperformance was acceleration of future collections and made adjustments in some geographies to increase near term expected collections, bringing them in line with recent performance and trends in collections, with the corresponding reductions later in the forecast period.

Expenses

  • Operating expenses in the quarter increased $20.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase is primarily driven by:
    • an increase in compensation and employee services primarily due to medical benefits, unfavorable foreign exchange and the timing of performance based compensation accruals;
    • an increase in agency fees due to increased fees outside the U.S.; and
    • an increase in other operating expenses primarily due to investments in digital and data.
  • For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating expenses increased $8.3 million compared to the same period last year.
  • Interest expense, net decreased $4.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower average borrowings this year and a change in accounting for convertible notes.
  • The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 19.3%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

  • The Company purchased $219.7 million in finance receivables in the second quarter of 2021.
  • At the end of the second quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of up to $521.1 million with $377.2 million in the Americas and Australia and $143.9 million in Europe.

(1)

For our non-U.S. amounts, cash collections are presented using the average exchange rates during the cash collection period.

(2)

Includes the finance receivables portfolios that were acquired through our business acquisitions.

(3)

For our non-U.S. amounts, purchase price is presented at the exchange rate at the end of the year in which the portfolio was purchased. In addition, any purchase price adjustments that occur throughout the life of the pool are presented at the year-end exchange rate for the respective year of purchase.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PRA 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 income tax expense; less foreign exchange gain (or plus foreign exchange loss); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense; plus depreciation and amortization; plus adjustment for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and plus recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries. 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 for the last twelve months (LTM) ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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.
