(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AIK Q3'11: Efficient operations, well positioned for growth
(Oslo, 28 October 2011) Aktiv Kapital reports operating revenues of NOK 219.8
million and operating profit of NOK 94.6 million in the third quarter of 2011,
compared to operating revenue of NOK 234.6 million and operating profit of NOK
101.0 million in third quarter 2010. The decrease is primarily related to few
acquisitions of portfolios. "The results for the third quarter demonstrate how
Aktiv Kapital is operating efficiently and adjusts costs to revenue. The Group
will continue to streamline the organisation and drive operational improvements
in order to maximise profitability," says newly appointed CEO Geir Langfeldt
Olsen.
"The current macroeconomic climate is driving more debt to the market. We are
well positioned with an effective platform and solid balance sheet, and we are
strengthening the portfolio investment team to capitalise on the opportunities
ahead of us," the CEO adds.
Cash collection on portfolios amounted to NOK 347.8 million in the third quarter
(NOK 381.7 million). The decrease in cash collection is mainly related to a
lower number of acquired portfolios, and a negative currency impact of NOK 11.2
million.
Operating revenue came in at NOK 219.8 million in the third quarter (NOK 234.6
million). Operational improvements have resulted in consistent performance
across regions, with Central Europe, the Nordics and Canada performing ahead of
plan. Operating expenses were lower by 6.1% from third quarter 2010, and Aktiv
Kapital will continue to drive operational improvements and streamline the
organisation.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to NOK
228.3 million (NOK 258.0 million), while pre-tax cash flow per share was NOK
4.53 (NOK 4.89).
Operating profit came in at NOK 94.6 million in the third quarter of 2011,
compared to NOK 101.0 million in the same period last year.
In the third quarter, Aktiv Kapital has invested NOK 49.7 million in new
portfolios (NOK 8.0 million).
The net book value of the portfolios at 30 September 2011 amounted to NOK
2 958.7 million.
