In Europe, our purchased defaulted debt portfolios primarily consist of paying and non-paying consumer loan accounts. We also purchase: (1) portfolios that are in insolvency status, in particular, individual voluntary arrangements; and (2) non-performing secured mortgage portfolios and real estate assets previously securing mortgage portfolios. When we take possession of the underlying real estate assets or purchase real estate assets, we refer to those as real estate-owned assets, or REO assets.

Previous wording
With lending surpassing pre-pandemic levels and with rising delinquency rates, we have seen an increase in supply. Issuers have continued to sell predominantly fresh portfolios. Fresh portfolios are portfolios that are generally sold within six months of the consumer’s account being charged-off by the financial institution. Pricing in the first quarter remained at favorable levels as a result of elevated market supply. Issuers continue to sell their volume in mostly forward flow arrangements that are often committed early in the calendar year. We believe growth in lending and rising delinquency rates will drive continued growth in supply.

Previous wording
The UK market for charged-off portfolios prior to the COVID-19 pandemic generally provided a relatively consistent pipeline of opportunities, despite a historically low level of charge-off rates, as creditors had embedded debt sales as an integral part of their business models. The percentage of volume that is sold in multi-year forward flow arrangements is increasing.

Banks decreased portfolio sales at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to focus on customers’ needs. While we have seen a resumption of sales activity across all of our European markets, underlying default rates are generally low by historic levels, and sales levels are expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In general, supply remains slightly below pre-pandemic levels while portfolio pricing remains competitive across our European footprint.

In the United States, capital deployment increased during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Portfolio purchases in the U.S. were robust as supply increased and pricing improved.

Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $48.5 million, or 10.5%, to $510.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $462.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in collections in the United States was primarily a result of consistent increases in capital deployments in the United States in recent quarters. Collections in Europe was favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $4.5 million, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Current wording
Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $70.2 million, or 14.7%, to $546.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $476.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The increases in collections in the United States were primarily a result of consistent increases in capital deployments in the United States in recent quarters. The increases in collections from purchased receivables in Europe were primarily due to the acquisition of portfolios with higher returns in recent periods. Additionally, collections in Europe were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $4.6 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 2.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The foreign currency translation effect to collections in Europe was immaterial during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Our operating results are impacted by foreign currency translation, which represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different than our U.S. dollar reporting currency. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies has an unfavorable impact on our international revenues, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies has a favorable impact on our international revenues. Our revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $4.4 million, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Previous wording
The increase in revenue recognized from portfolio basis during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to a higher portfolio basis (i.e. a higher investment in receivable balance) in the U.S. driven by a consistent higher volume of purchases in the past several quarters. The increase was also attributable to the favorable impact from foreign currency translation as discussed above.
Current wording
The increases in revenue recognized from portfolio basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily due to a higher portfolio basis (i.e. a higher investment in receivable balance) in the U.S. driven by a consistent higher volume of purchases in the past several quarters.

Recoveries above or below forecast represent over and under-performance in the reporting period, respectively.

Collections during the three months ended March 31, 2023, under-performed the forecasted collections by approximately $15.4 million.
Current wording

Previous wording
When reassessing the forecasts of expected lifetime recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2024, management considered, among other factors, historical and current collection performance, changes in consumer behavior, and the macroeconomic environment. The updated forecast resulted in changes in timing and amount of total estimated remaining collections which in turn, when discounted to present value, resulted in a net negative change in expected future recoveries of approximately $13.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded approximately $5.9 million in net positive change in expected future period recoveries.
Current wording
When reassessing the forecasts of expected lifetime recoveries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, management considered, among other factors, historical and current collection performance, changes in consumer behavior, and the macroeconomic environment. Management believes that most of the current period collections over-performance was due to changes in timing of the estimated remaining collections, and therefore reduced the respective estimated remaining collections accordingly. These reductions, when discounted to present value, resulted in a net negative change in expected future recoveries of approximately $21.7 million and $35.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $3.0 million in net negative change and $2.8 million in net positive change in expected future period recoveries, respectively.

Collection agency commissions are commissions paid to third-party collection agencies. Collections through the collections agencies channel are predominately in Europe and vary from period to period depending on, among other things, the number of accounts placed with an agency versus accounts collected internally. Commission rates vary depending on, among other things, the amount of time that has passed since the charge-off of the accounts placed with an agency, the asset class, and the geographic location of the receivables. Generally, freshly charged-off accounts have a lower commission rate than accounts that have been charged off for a longer period of time, and commission rates for purchased bankruptcy portfolios are lower than the commission rates for charged-off credit card accounts. Collection agency commissions were consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
