PRA Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results
Acquires Recovery Management Systems Corporation
NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRA Group (Nasdaq:PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015. The company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.86 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.03 for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year, the company reported diluted earnings per share of $3.47 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $4.30. Non-GAAP financial results are presented in constant currency with the third and fourth 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 the acquisition of certain assets of Recovery Management Systems Corporation (RMSC). The transaction also includes the hiring of most RMSC employees. Mike Petit, president of PRA Insolvency Investment Services, said, “We are extremely impressed with RMSC’s technology platform supporting its bankrupt account processing and recovery management business. This acquisition strengthens and broadens our ability to offer bankruptcy processing services to our clients and complements our existing Insolvency business.”
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Full Year Highlights
“One thing remains evident for our future long term results, the industry consolidation in the U.S. Core market remains a critical positive for us,” said Steve Fredrickson, chairman and chief executive officer, PRA Group. “When any of the events decreasing supply in the U.S. change, PRA will be there to win our fair share and our results should begin to show the effects soon thereafter. We feel confident that with our industry low leverage, we will be ready and able to purchase portfolios that are within our return profile both now and when volume inevitably picks up. In the meantime, we are highly profitable, producing strong results for shareholders, while we grow rapidly in Europe and South America, and improve our operating effectiveness consistently.”

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 fees associated with the CFPB consent order, expenses associated with acquisitions, one-time tax items, legal costs not associated with normal operations, and constant currency adjustments may provide additional meaningful comparisons between current year results and prior periods. 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.
