Return on purchased receivables

The second quarter of the year brought continued positive development for Intrum Justitia compared with the year-earlier period. Organic growth was 7 percent and operating earnings rose by 11 percent adjusted for currency effects and portfolio revaluations.

Cash flow from operations rose by 26 percent to SEK 410 M in the second quarter and the Group's financial position is strong. During the quarter, to be able to benefit from opportunities for expansion over the coming years, we have continued our efforts to strengthen our loan financing by extending our opportunities to borrow from banks and to improve the maturity structure of the loans.

Our Financial Services service line, which focuses primarily on purchased receivables, continues to develop well. Income rose by 12 percent in the second quarter, with continued high margins and a very favorable return. The investment level in the second quarter was the highest in Intrum Justitia's history and was mainly attributable to a high level of investment in Northern Europe.

In our Credit Management service line, we are seeing a continued stable trend with a 5 percent growth in revenues in the second quarter. Growth is being driven by increasing investment in purchased debt portfolios and by growth in credit management on assignment from external customers. In the short term, operating earnings will be affected negatively by continued increases in expenses for pursuing cases through the legal systems – a trend that will continue in the second half of the year. In the long term, this generates favorable conditions for strengthening profitability and increasing the stability in the return on our portfolios of purchased receivables.

In our regions, Northern Europe has continued to show a positive trend in both revenues and operating earnings as a consequence of increased investments in portfolios of purchased receivables, as well as good organic growth in Credit Management. In Central Europe, earnings and margins developed favorably in the second quarter, although the level of investment in portfolios with purchased receivables was unsatisfactory. In Western Europe, we are seeing good organic growth in Credit Management but a negative impact on revenue and earnings from selectively decreased investment levels in purchased receivables as a consequence of the uncertain macro trend in several countries in the region.

Work to develop our service offering in the early stages of the payment chain is continuing according to plan and towards the end of the second quarter, we launched a factoring service in the Swedish market.

The increase in revenues by 6 percent in the second quarter consists of organic growth of 7 percent, acquisition effects of 1 percent, revaluation of purchased debt of a negative 1 percent and a currency effect of 1 percent. The improved organic growth is primarily attributable to the increased investment volume in purchased receivables, but also by organic growth in credit management on assignment from external customers. Operating earnings improved by 4 percent in the second quarter, although, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of portfolios of purchased receivables, the increase was 11 percent. The improved operating earnings and operating margin are mainly attributable to a change in the mix of services, good cost control and improved internal efficiency. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 33 (24). The increase is mainly explained by increased loan volumes. In addition, exchange rate differences have affected net financial items by SEK 0 M (neg 2), and other financial items had a negative effect of SEK 7 M (neg 3).

Earnings for the quarter were charged with tax of 25 percent, corresponding to the estimated average tax cost for the 2012 full year. Taxes for the second quarter 2011 included a one-off cost of SEK 29 M attributable to a dispute in Finland. Further information on ongoing tax disputes is provided in the section "Taxation assessments".

Cash flow from operating activities over the quarter amounted to SEK 410 M (326). The increase compared with the preceding year is primarily attributable to improved operating earnings, excluding depreciation and amortization. Disbursements during the quarter for investments in purchased receivables amounted to SEK 667 M (276).

The increase in consolidated net debt is compared with the year-earlier period is primarily attributable to a high level of investment in purchased receivables. Thanks to a favorable earnings trend and strong cash flow, consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization was at a relatively unchanged and low level of 1.54.

In June, portions of the Group's bank loans were renegotiated with the purpose of improving the structure of the Group's long-term financing. The renegotiated syndicated loan facilities amount to SEK 5 billion, of which approximately SEK 2 billion has been utilized at the end of the quarter. The new bank financing entails a more flexible maturity structure whereby the loan, including a bond loan of SEK 1 billion, matures in an amount of SEK 2 billion per year over the period 2015-2017. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 615 M as per June 30, 2012.

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,405 M compared with SEK 2,204 M as per December 31, 2011. The change was attributable to the acquisition in the first quarter for SEK 224 M and net negative exchange rate differences of SEK 23 M.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 15 percent and operating earnings improved by 13 percent adjusted for currency effects and revaluations, compared with the year-earlier period. The strong growth in revenues in the region is driven by continued high investment levels in purchased receivables and a favorable trend in the Credit Management operations. Operating earnings are developing well through organic improvements, as well as positive effects from acquired operations in previous years, where the operating earnings for the second quarter of 2011 were burdened by integration costs of SEK 5 M. Costs for legal collection measures in the region continue to rise compared with last year, which has had a short-term negative impact on earnings.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 6 percent and operating earnings improved by 32 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations, compared with the year-earlier period. High levels of investment in purchased receivables in 2011 and a stable trend in Credit Management have contributed to the improved earnings. To compensate for decreased volumes in aging portfolios and to strengthen the market position, mainly in Germany, the region continues to focus on increasing volumes in purchased receivables.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 3 percent and operating earnings decreased by 4 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations, compared with the year-earlier period. The positive income trend is among others due to good volume development in Credit Management and the acquired unit in the Netherlands. The uncertain macroeconomic situation affects both revenues and operating earnings negatively as the uncertainty has had the consequence of the region having selectively reduced its investments in purchased receivables. Furthermore, operating earnings were negatively impacted by increasing costs of collection, something that Intrum Justitia is unable to compensate for in terms of volumes in the current market. Operating earnings were positively impacted by a nonrecurring effect of around SEK 7 M during the second quarter.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 6 percent in the quarter, while operating earnings were unchanged compared with the preceding year. The positive trend from both the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 in terms of organic growth has also continued in the second quarter. Operating earnings were affected negatively by increased costs for collection measures.

Activity in the procurement of portfolios of purchased receivables is good and investments for the quarter were the highest in Intrum Justitia's history as a consequence of an acquisition of a large Polish bank portfolio and favorable activity in the procurement of small and medium-sized portfolios. The acquisition of the Polish bank portfolio was completed in June, meaning that the transaction will have an effect of operating earnings as of the third quarter. The portfolio has an outstanding value of about SEK 1.5 billion. The return of the portfolio is negatively impacted by the fact that the Polish banking portfolio has been included in the reported value, but without having had any effect on the operating result.

For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for purchased receivables, please see page 56-57 of the Annual Report 2011.

Europe is characterized by considerable regional differences and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic situation in several countries. In a substantially weakened macroeconomic situation in Europe, with increased unemployment, Intrum Justitia is negatively affected.

In Intrum Justitia's view, the Group's strategic focus is well attuned to the market trend, with a broadening of credit management services and a link to risk reduction and financial services based on strong, market-leading collection operations. Companies' need to generate stronger and more predictable cash flow is increasing, as is the need to create additional alternatives for the financing of working capital, for example by selling receivables. These are trends that, in the long term, will benefit Intrum Justitia.

Following a tax audit of the Group's Swedish parent company for the 2009 financial year, the Swedish National Tax Board decided to impose a tax surcharge of SEK 19 M in 2011. Intrum Justitia takes the view, however, that its tax returns contained no misstatements and that the conditions for a tax surcharge have therefore not been met. Consequently, the company has appealed the ruling with regard to the tax surcharge and has not made any provision for this cost.

In connection with a tax audit in Belgium in 2011, the company's right to make so-called notional interest deductions was brought into question. The company is discussing the matter with the tax authorities but risks, in the worst-case scenario, being liable to pay additional tax for 2008 and 2009 as well as a tax surcharge and interest totaling EUR 10 M. In the opinion of the company, the tax authorities' assessment is incorrect since it refers to legal cases regarding situations different from that at hand. Consequently, Intrum Justitia has not made any provisions for additional taxes.

In the second quarter of 2012, Intrum Justitia has not had cause to change its view of the most likely outcome of the ongoing tax disputes and has not therefore made any provisions for additional tax expenses in the closing account for the quarter.

The Group's publicly listed Parent Company, Intrum Justitia AB (publ), owns the subsidiaries, provides the Group's head office functions and handles certain Group-wide development work, services and marketing.

The Parent Company reported net revenues of SEK 36 M (35) for the six-month period and earnings before tax of SEK -78 M (-47). During the period the Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets and had liquid assets of SEK 187 M (65) at the end of the period. The average number of employees was 39 (30).

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting for the Group and in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company. The same accounting principles and calculation methods have been applied as in the most recent Annual Report.

The Group's and the Parent Company's risks include strategic risks related to economic developments and acquisitions as well as operational risks related to, among other things, possible errors and omissions as well as operations in different countries. Moreover, there are risks related to the regulatory environment and financial risks such as market risk, financing risk, credit risk, risks inherent in purchased receivables and guarantees in conjunction with the screening of charge card applications. The risks are described in more detail in the Board of Directors' report in Intrum Justitia's 2011 Annual Report. No significant risks are considered to have arisen besides those described in the Annual Report.

Definitions

Increases in revenues, operating earnings and earnings before tax refer to the percentage increase in each income statement item year-over-year.

Organic growth refers to the average increase in revenues in local currency, adjusted for revaluations of portfolios of purchased receivables and the effects of acquisitions and divestments of Group companies.

Consolidated revenues include variable collection commissions, fixed collection fees, debtor fees, guarantee commissions, subscription revenue and income from purchased receivables operations. Income from purchased receivables consists of collected amounts less amortization, i.e., the decrease in the portfolios' book value for the period.

Operating margin is operating earnings as a percentage of revenues.

Return on purchased receivables is the service line earnings for the period, recalculated on a full-year basis, as a percentage of the average carrying amount of the balance-sheet item purchased receivables.

Net debt is interest-bearing liabilities and pension provisions less liquid assets and interest-bearing receivables.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are operating earnings where depreciation on fixed assets as well as amortization and revaluations of purchased receivables are added back. The figure is presented on a rolling twelve month basis, abbreviated RTM.

Interest coverage ratio is earnings after financial items plus financial expenses divided by financial expenses.

Service line earnings are that part of operating earnings that can be attributed to the service lines, i.e. excluding common costs for marketing and administration.

Region Northern Europe comprises the Group's activities for external clients and debtors in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
