NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PRA Group, Inc.

Diluted earnings per share were $1.26 compared to $0.41 in the second quarter of 2019.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. was $77.0 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, compared to $33.8 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, during the same period in 2019.

• Record global cash collections of $509.9 million, an increase of 8%, or 11% on a currency adjusted basis, compared to the second quarter of 2019.
• Record total revenues of $271.9 million, an increase of 8% compared to the second quarter of 2019.
• Record income from operations of $111.3 million, an increase of 76% compared to the second quarter of 2019.
• Cash efficiency ratio of 68.7% during the quarter compared to 60.4% in the second quarter of 2019.

"During June, we continued to see the same collection trends we reported in April and May.  Cash collections were particularly strong in the U.S. and helped drive a global record during the second quarter.  As discussed on our Q1 2020 conference call, due to various circumstances, we believe U.S. consumers have additional discretionary funds, and many are taking this opportunity to voluntarily resolve their debts.  Demonstrating this, U.S. cash collections from PRA's digital channel grew over 90% from Q2 2019.  Europe cash collections were similar to those in the second quarter of last year and well ahead of our expectations, so we are pleased with the results there as well," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer.  "We continue to see delayed investment volumes particularly in Europe but expect that to pick up later in the year as sellers have been moving forward with their sale processes more recently.  We also anticipate a wave of charge-offs next year, and we will be well prepared to help our bank partners and provide our customers with the respect and solutions they have come to expect from PRA."

• Cash collections in the quarter increased $39.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 37% increase in U.S. call center and other cash collections. This was partially offset by a decrease in Americas Insolvency cash collections since investment levels are not offsetting the runoff of older portfolios. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash collections increased $73.1 million compared to the same period last year.
• Portfolio income was $248.3 million compared to $249.2 million in income recognized on finance receivables in the second quarter of 2019.
• Changes in expected recoveries were a net positive of $19.8 million. This reflects $119.5 million in recoveries in excess of forecast from overperformance during the quarter, partially offset by a negative $99.7 million adjustment for changes in expected future recoveries as the Company has assumed the majority of the current quarter overperformance is acceleration of future collections and made additional cash forecast adjustments deemed appropriate given the current environment in which the Company operates.

Expenses

• Operating expenses in the quarter decreased $26.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in legal collection costs mainly as a result of the Company's decision to temporarily cease moving accounts into a legal eligible status in the U.S., along with the closure of courts in many of our European countries, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, there was a decrease in compensation and employee benefits from a reduction in U.S. call center staff as a result of efficiencies realized through technology, training, and data and analytics.
• For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating expenses decreased $26.6 million compared to the same period last year.
• Interest expense decreased $0.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower average interest rates.
• The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 17.2%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

• The Company purchased $164.5 million in finance receivables in the second quarter of 2020.
• At the end of the second quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of up to $383.7 million with $272.3 million in the Americas and $111.4 million in Europe.
