"2019 was a year that demonstrated what our focus on the long-term can deliver. In the Americas, we continued to reap the benefits of our investment in the legal collections channel, the change in ownership in Brazil and the acquisition in Canada. In Europe, our patience and discipline placed us in a unique competitive position to drive record portfolio purchases," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "Our willingness to invest in people, digital, data, and legal over the past few years prepared us to capitalize on the U.S. market where we see steady supply, rational returns, and healthy market share; and in Europe, where we see increasing supply, increasing returns and increasing market share. Our efforts drove additional records in cash collections, revenue, and ERC for the year."

All values are in US Dollars.

  • Cash collections in the quarter increased $53.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily due to a 19% increase in U.S. legal cash collections, a doubling of cash collections in Other Americas Core, and a 15% increase in Europe cash collections.  This growth was primarily driven by increased portfolio acquisitions in Other Americas and Europe and the sustained legal channel investment in the U.S. For the full year, cash collections increased $216.1 million compared to the full year of 2018.
  • For the quarter, cash collections on fully amortized pools were $10.5 million and cash collections on nonaccrual pools were $3.2 million.
  • Income recognized on finance receivables increased $31.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to yield increases and increased portfolio acquisitions.  For the full year, income recognized on finance receivables increased $106.5 million compared to the full year of 2018.

Expenses

  • Operating expenses in the quarter increased $2.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 largely due to an increase in agency fees and legal collection fees.  This was partially offset by a decrease in compensation and employee benefits in the U.S.  Agency fees increased primarily due to an increase in cash collections in areas where the Company utilizes third party collection firms.  The increase in legal collection fees is directly related to the significant increase in external legal cash collections.
  • For the full year, operating expenses increased $55.8 million compared to the full year of 2018.
  • Interest expense increased $2.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 mainly due to higher levels of average borrowings related to increased portfolio acquisitions.
  • The effective tax rate for the full year of 2019 was 16.8%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

  • The Company purchased $402.3 million in finance receivables in the fourth quarter and $1.3 billion for the full year of 2019.
  • At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of $506.9 million with $226.0 million in the Americas and $280.9 million in Europe.
