PRA Group Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results


NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRA Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2016.  The company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.79 versus $1.06 in the second quarter of 2015 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.83 for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $1.08 for the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP financial results are presented in constant currency with the second quarter of 2015 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. 

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Estimated remaining collections of $5.3 billion. 
  • Cash collections of $387.2 million, currency adjusted cash collections of $391.3 million. 
  • Total revenues of $228.5 million, currency adjusted revenues of $230.0 million. 
  • Income from operations of $72.8 million, non-GAAP income from operations of $75.1 million.
  • Net income of $36.5 million, non-GAAP net income of $38.3 million. 
  • Return on average equity, annualized, of 16.4%, non-GAAP return on average equity, annualized, of 17.3%. 
  • $249.5 million in investments.

“Second quarter global investment was solid at $250 million helping to increase estimated remaining collections to $5.33 billion. Our fee-based businesses in the U.S. delivered a good quarter, as both revenue and net operating income increased substantially,” said Steve Fredrickson, chairman and chief executive officer, PRA Group. “We are beginning to see signs that may indicate the credit cycle is turning which could ultimately increase the supply of nonperforming loans in the U.S. In Europe, we see a strong acquisition pipeline and strong cash collections in most markets. Global sellers are increasingly looking for buying partners that offer competitive pricing, a strong compliance system, and a reputation for treating customers respectfully.  Given this view, we believe PRA Group is competitively advantaged as a buyer of choice.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PRA Group, Inc. reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, which exclude penalty and redress associated with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau consent order, expenses associated with acquisitions, legal costs not associated with normal operations, and constant currency adjustments, improve comparability between current year results and prior periods and better reflect the company’s operational performance.  Management uses non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the company’s performance and to set performance goals.  Reconciliations from non-GAAP to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below.  These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, not as an alternative for reported GAAP results.

The constant currency results assume that foreign revenues and expenses are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar at rates consistent with the prior year, and that any benefit or loss caused by foreign currency fluctuations would be consistent with the prior year.  To do this the Company translates the current year’s income statements into U.S. dollars using the prior year’s average exchange rates and then replaces the foreign exchange gain or loss for the current year with the balance from the prior year.  Finally, the Company calculates the tax impact of the constant currency results to reflect the current effective tax rate of the reporting period.
