Regulatory Landscape and Consumer Behavior Portfolio Supply6
-
Complex and stringent regulatory environment
Federal Regulator: CFPB
U.S. Laws: FDCPA (Reg F), FCRA, GLBA, TCPA, etc.
State/Local: 50 Attorneys General (+ D.C.) & 3,000+ counties each with potentially separate set of guidelines and rules
- Regulatory complexity and consumer behavior reflected in pricing
- High number of disputes
-
Strong portfolio supply
$1.0+ trillion of credit card debt outstanding
Markets tend to be forward-flow driven, providing visibility
Many large U.S. banks do not sell NPLs - smaller number of sellers
-
Stable competitive landscape
o Banks are highly selective of whom they sell to
Stringent regulatory environment
Success driven by long track record, extensive data, strong seller relationships, significant scale and compliance
-
Fragmented regulatory environment
Very different application of collections rules in different markets, especially around legal collections
Generally much less onerous than the U.S.
- Regulators encourage banks to sell NPLs (EU Credit directive, EU Prudential Backstop)
- Local customer behaviours reflected in portfolio pricing
-
Fragmented banking market
Leads to fragmented selling universe, with hundreds of sellers
Most major banks & consumer finance companies sell NPLs
-
Competitive market dynamics
Highly competitive, especially in markets where sellers are less selective about who they sell to
Market tends to be spot-driven but moving more toward forward flows

Core PPMs1 and Portfolio Purchases - in Line with Our Expectations
PPMs can vary due to multiple factors (geography/product mix, age of portfolios, collection channel, etc.), which impacts the cost to collect
A higher cost to collect typically leads to a higher PPM, and vice versa
Some portfolios (e.g., European portfolios, insolvencies, certain U.S. portfolios) have lower PPMs but also materially lower costs to collect.
-
Portfolios are underwritten to meet similar net return thresholds
Incorporates cost to collect, funding costs, timing of cash flows, risk, contract terms, and other items.
Our Focus is on Net Returns
PPMs can vary based on mix
