PRA Group Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

NORFOLK, Va., May 06, 2021 - PRA Group (Nasdaq: PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2021. The Company reported net income attributable to PRA Group Inc. of $58.4 million in the first quarter, compared with $19.1 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share were $1.27 versus $0.42 in the first quarter of 2020.

First Quarter Highlights (compared to the first quarter of 2020, unless otherwise indicated)

•Record total cash collections which increased 12% to $555.9 million.

•Record total revenues which increased 15% to $289.5 million.

•Income from operations increased 83% to $110.8 million.

•Cash efficiency ratio1 of 68.0% during the quarter compared to 61.5% in the first quarter of 2020.

•Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. increased 205% to $58.4 million.

•Diluted earnings per share increased 202% to $1.27.

•Debt to Adjusted EBITDA2 for the last 12 months decreased to 1.77x from 1.99x at December 31, 2020.

•Total portfolio purchases of $159.0 million.

•Estimated remaining collections (ERC) of $6.1 billion.

•$1.2 billion available for portfolio purchases.

“PRA started 2021 with another record setting quarter. We collected record levels of cash globally and had record revenues. In Europe, solid portfolio purchases in 2020 drove record collections. In the U.S., we continued to see strong collections particularly in our call centers and digital platform. These results combined with increases in productivity helped to produce a near record cash efficiency ratio for the quarter,” said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. “Portfolio purchases during the quarter increased sequentially in the U.S. The market remains stable with little change in seller behavior; however, lower charge off rates are pushing forward flow volumes to the lower end of the contracted range. In Europe, we were pleased with our investment volume in what is normally a seasonally slower quarter. We have solid volumes of forward flows secured, believe the pipeline in Europe is larger than what 2020 offered, and were awarded our first portfolio, a forward flow, in Australia.”

Cash Collections and Revenues

•The following table presents cash collections by quarter and by source on an as reported and constant currency-adjusted basis:

Total Cash Collections $ 555,887 $ 502,305

•Cash collections in the quarter increased $61.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a 32% increase in U.S. call center and other cash collections and a 19% increase in Europe 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 Core, this decrease was primarily driven by foreign exchange rates.

•Portfolio income was $231.7 million compared to $262.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the Company's assumption that the significant cash overperformance in 2020 was largely acceleration versus an increase in total estimated collections, combined with recent purchases not offsetting runoff, primarily in Americas Insolvency and Other Americas.

•Changes in expected recoveries were a net positive of $50.1 million. This amount reflects $103.0 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast from overperformance during the quarter, partially offset by a negative $52.9 million adjustment for changes in expected future recoveries. The Company has assumed that the majority 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 $12.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2020. 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 agency fees primarily outside of the U.S.

•Interest expense, net decreased $5.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the Company's early adoption of the new accounting for convertible debt as well as lower outstanding balances.

•The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 21.9%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

•The Company purchased $159.0 million in finance receivables in the first quarter of 2021.

•At the end of the first quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of up to $640.7 million with $452.7 million in the Americas and Australia and $188.0 million in Europe.

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 March 31, 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.
