NORFOLK, VA -- (Marketwire - July 28, 2011) - Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRAA), a specialized financial services company and market leader in the consumer debt purchase and collection industry, today reported record second quarter results including net income of $25.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company's net income for the second quarter of 2011 increased 31% from $19.5 million in the same period a year earlier. Earnings per diluted share were $1.48 in the second quarter of 2011, up 30% from $1.14 in the second quarter of 2010. The Company's second quarter 2011 earnings included ongoing non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $1.2 million, after tax, or $0.07 per share, and a gain from the sale of real property of $690,000, after tax, or $0.04 per share.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 grew 23% from the year-earlier period to a record $114.8 million. Total revenues consist of cash collections reduced by amounts applied to principal on the Company's owned debt portfolios, plus fee income earned from its fee-for-service businesses. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company applied 43.1% of cash collections to reduce the carrying value of its owned debt portfolios, up from 40.1% in the second quarter of 2010. The second quarter 2011 principal amortization rate included a $2.3 million net allowance charge against certain pools of finance receivables accounts.
"Portfolio Recovery Associates ended the first half of 2011 with yet another record quarter, which saw strong growth in net income, earnings per share, revenues and cash collections," said Steven D. Fredrickson, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Collections were a key driver of our second-quarter performance. Bankruptcy collections were up strongly in the quarter, internal and external legal collections both produced impressive growth, and our call centers performed well despite the difficult economy. Collector productivity advanced to another new record as well."
Fredrickson continued: "This outstanding performance reflects the efforts of our entire PRA staff, including the Company's more than 1,500 call-center collectors. I'm proud of the hard work and dedication of our very talented team and look forward to our future successes."

- Internal legal collections grew to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $11.4 million in the year ago quarter. Internal legal collections, in which the Company uses its own staff attorneys or in select cases, third-party attorneys working on a fixed price basis, represent an important, developing collections channel.
- Productivity rose to a record $242 per collector hour paid for the first half of 2011 from $194 for all of 2010. Productivity, the Company's key measure of collector performance, is measured by cash collections per collector hour paid. Excluding the impact of trustee remittances from purchased bankrupt accounts, the comparison is $158 for the first two quarters of 2011, compared to $129 for all of 2010. Excluding trustee remittances on purchased bankrupt accounts and external legal collections, the comparison is $121 for the first six months of 2011 and $100 for all of 2010.
- In the second quarter of 2011, revenues were a record $114.8 million, up 23% compared with the same period a year ago. This was driven by record cash receipts of $190.8 million in the second quarter, up 32% from $144.5 million a year earlier. Cash receipts are comprised of both cash collections and revenues from the Company's fee-based businesses.
- The Company's net allowance charge totaled $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing 0.26% of net finance receivables at period-end and 1.3% of cash collections. The table below displays net allowance charges incurred by quarter, by buying period since 2005, as well as purchases of charged-off consumer debt, net of buybacks:

- The Company's fee-for-service businesses generated revenues of $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decline of 10% from the same period a year ago due largely to a decrease in revenues generated by PRA Location Services. Together, the fee-for-service businesses accounted for 12.6% of the Company's overall revenues in the second quarter of 2011, down from 17.3% in the second quarter of 2010.
- Cash balances were $25.5 million as of June 30, 2011, down from $41.1 million as of December 31, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company had net repayments of $40 million on its line of credit, leaving it with $250 million in outstanding borrowings at quarter end. Remaining borrowing availability under the line was $157.5 million as of June 30, 2011.
Kevin P. Stevenson, chief financial and administrative officer, said: "Portfolio Recovery Associates turned in another strong performance in the second quarter of 2011, due in large part to the long-term investments we have made in people, technology and portfolios. The Company purchased $89.5 million of charged-off debt in the second quarter, bringing our total purchases for the first half of the year to $197.4 million. These portfolios will provide additional opportunities for our collectors in the quarters and years to come. Importantly, we were able to accomplish this while paying down $40 million in principal on our line of credit during the quarter, strengthening our ability to continue making smart investments in the future."
