NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 5, 2015 -- PRA Group (Nasdaq:PRAA), a global leader in acquiring nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2015. The company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.36 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.99 for the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP financial results are presented in constant currency with the third quarter of 2014 and exclude items unrelated to normal operations. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found at the end of this press release.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new $125 million share repurchase program. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased $7.7 million, or approximately 133,000 shares, of common stock.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Cash collections of $380.8 million, up 2% from the third quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP cash collections were $392.1 million, an increase of 5% over the prior year period.

"Many of the same trends that have been prevalent throughout the last year continued in the third quarter. Our operational performance remained solid, cash collections in the U.S. call centers continued to grow dramatically, up over 27% year over year, and investment was formidable at $345 million in the quarter," said Steve Fredrickson, chairman and chief executive officer, PRA Group. "Additionally, the original underwritten portfolio associated with the acquisition of Aktiv Kapital continues to perform better than expected and we continue to invest a substantial amount of capital in European markets. The progress we have made in the last year and the performance of our European team has exceeded our expectations."
