NORFOLK, VA, Feb 16, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRAA), a specialized financial and business services company and market leader in the consumer debt purchase and collection industry, today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2011 results.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
-- Record net income of $26.6 million, an increase of 29% over the fourth
quarter of 2010
-- Record diluted EPS of $1.54, compared with $1.20 in the fourth quarter
of 2010
-- Record revenue of $118.1 million, up 17% from the year-earlier quarter
-- Cash collections of $180.3 million, up 25% from the fourth quarter of
2010
-- Annualized return on average equity of 18.2% for the quarter
The Company's earnings for the full year 2011 totaled $100.8 million, or $5.85 per diluted share, compared with $73.5 million, or $4.35 per diluted share, for the full year 2010. Full year 2011 revenues were $458.9 million, compared to $372.7 million for the full year 2010.
"In 2011, PRA again experienced significant growth in revenues and net income, as well as improved operating efficiencies and a strengthened capital structure," said Steven D. Fredrickson, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Our steadfast adherence to our core principles, our ability to evaluate and purchase high-value portfolios and our unwavering commitment to best practices for our industry helped to drive net income crossing the $100 million threshold for the first time in our history. We believe PRA has never been better positioned for long-term growth, and we intend to continue investing in our future through organic growth and select merger and acquisition opportunities. This is best illustrated through our acquisition of Mackenzie Hall in January 2012."
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
Revenues
-- Total revenues were $118.1 million for the quarter, up 17% when
compared with the same period a year ago. This was driven by cash
receipts of $195.7 million in the fourth quarter, up 22% from $160.3
million a year earlier. The Company defines cash receipts as the total
of cash collections and fee income.
Finance Receivable Income
-- Cash collections from finance receivables rose 25% to $180.3 million
in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $144.4 million in the year-ago
period. Cash collections reflected the seasonal weakness typically
experienced in the fourth quarter. The table below displays cash
collections by source, by quarter for the past five quarters:
-------------------------------------------- Cash Collection Source ($ in thousands) Q42011 Q32011 Q22011 Q12011 Q42010 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Call Center & Other Collections $ 61,227 $ 63,967 $ 64,566 $ 67,377 $ 53,775 External Legal Collections 26,316 27,245 27,329 25,378 21,446 Internal Legal Collections 17,615 16,444 16,007 15,598 12,841 Purchased Bankruptcy Collections 75,166 74,512 68,379 58,364 56,301 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Cash Collections $180,324 $182,168 $176,281 $166,717 $144,363 ======== ======== ======== ======== ========
--------------------------------------------
-- Internal legal collections, in which the Company uses its own staff
attorneys, continue to represent an important, developing collections
channel. Internal legal collections increased to $17.6 million in the
fourth quarter of 2011 from $12.8 million in the year-ago quarter.
-- During the quarter, the Company applied 43.0% of cash collections to
reduce the carrying value of its owned debt portfolios, up from 41.3%
in the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2011 principal
amortization rate included $3.1 million in net allowance charges
against certain pools of finance receivables accounts.
-- Cash collections produced income on finance receivables of $102.7
million in the fourth quarter of 2011, net of allowance charges of
$3.1 million. Income on finance receivables, net of allowance charges,
increased 21% from the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- For the fourth quarter of 2011, Core portfolio income was $63.9
million, net of allowance charges of $2.1 million. Net Core portfolio
income increased 21% over the fourth quarter of 2010. Net Bankruptcy
portfolio revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $38.9 million,
net of allowance charges of $1.0 million. Net Bankruptcy portfolio
income increased 22% over the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- The Company purchased $1.21 billion of face-value finance receivables
during the fourth quarter of 2011 for $88.9 million. These receivables
were acquired in 83 portfolios from 12 different sellers.
Fee Income
-- The Company's fee-for-service businesses generated revenue of $15.3
million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a decline of 4% from the same
period a year ago due largely to a decrease in revenues generated by
PRA Location Services. Together, the fee-for-service businesses
accounted for 13% of the Company's overall revenues in the fourth
quarter of 2011, down from 16% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Compared
with the third quarter of 2011, fee income increased by $3.9 million
or 35%, due primarily to seasonal increases in the Government Services
business along with an increase in fee income generated by CCB.
Efficiency and Productivity
-- Operating income was $46.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011,
compared with $36.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010,
representing an increase of 27%. The operating margin increased from
36.0% in the year-earlier quarter, to 38.9% in the recently completed
quarter.
-- The Company measures finance receivable collections productivity in a
variety of ways, due to the varying nature of the Company's
collections channels. All measurements of collections productivity
improved over the fourth quarter of 2010, and are presented in the
accompanying Financial Highlights.
Balance Sheet
-- Cash balances were $26.7 million as of December 31, 2011.
-- During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company had net repayments of
$40 million on its line of credit, which had a balance outstanding of
$220 million at year-end. Remaining borrowing availability, subject to
normal borrowing and collateral provisions, under the line was $187.5
million as of December 31, 2011.
Subsequent Events
-- On January 16, 2012, the Company announced the acquisition of
Mackenzie Hall Holdings Limited, a leading UK debt collection and
purchase group.
-- Under the terms of the transaction, PRA purchased 100% of the equity
interest in Mackenzie Hall, for approximately GBP 33.1 million
(approximately $51 million) in cash. PRA anticipates the acquisition
will be immediately accretive to earnings.
-- Based in Kilmarnock, Scotland, Mackenzie Hall offers outsourced and
contingent consumer debt recovery on behalf of banks, credit providers
and debt purchasers, as well as distressed and dormant niche portfolio
purchasing. Mackenzie Hall employs approximately 170 people at its
headquarters and contact center in Kilmarnock.
-- The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up
to $100 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock.
The program will be administered by a special committee of the Board.
Repurchases would depend on prevailing market conditions and other
factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at
any time.
