UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to Encore Capital Group, Inc’s acquisition of certain assets from Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC (“Jefferson Capital”). In these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, Encore Capital Group, Inc. is referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Encore.”
On June 7, 2005, pursuant to an agreement entered into on June 2, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets, including receivable portfolios, from Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC (“Jefferson Capital”), a subsidiary of CompuCredit Corporation. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired a portfolio of charged-off consumer credit card debt with a face value of approximately $2.8 billion (the “Portfolio Purchase”), entered into a forward flow agreement to purchase a minimum of $3.0 billion and up to $3.25 billion in face value of credit card charge-offs from Jefferson Capital over a five-year period beginning in July 2005 at a fixed price (the “Forward Flow”) and entered into an agreement to offer employment to approximately 120 employees of Jefferson Capital (the “Employment Offer”) at its collection site in St. Cloud, Minnesota in September 2005, after completion of a three-month transition period. In addition, the Company entered into a two-year agreement to sell Chapter 13 bankruptcies to Jefferson Capital based on a pre-set pricing schedule (the “BK Sales Agreement”) and agreed to provide Jefferson Capital with a prescribed number of accounts on a monthly basis for its balance transfer program, also on a pre-set pricing schedule (the “Balance Transfer Agreement”). The Portfolio Purchase, Forward Flow, Employment Offer, BK Sales Agreement and Balance Transfer Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Acquisition” or the “Business” acquired from Jefferson Capital.
The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations” and accordingly, the tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of the Acquisition. The final allocation of the purchase price is pending completion of a third party valuation of the assets acquired. Depending on the outcome of that valuation the preliminary purchase price allocation could change .
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations have been prepared to assist you in your analysis of the financial effects of the Acquisition, and have been presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, combines the historical results of Encore for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the historical results of the Business acquired from Jefferson Capital for the period from January 1, 2005 through the date of acquisition on June 7, 2005, as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, combines the historical results of Encore for the year ended December 31, 2004, and the historical results of the Business acquired from Jefferson Capital for the year ended December 31, 2004, as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2004.
Encore’s information was derived from its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, and its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
