James T. Sartain, CEO of FirstCity, commented, “I am very pleased with the strong financial results we reported for the quarter. Increased servicing fees and collections drove the solid results, and our investment activity for the quarter was also solid. Amid the abundant investment opportunities we see in the market, we remain focused on our investment discipline, while continuing to seek optimal funding mechanisms to take advantage of this robust market.”

 

Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution Business Segment

 

For the first quarter of 2012 (“Q1 2012”), our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment reported $10.8 million in earnings — comprised primarily of $17.2 million in revenues, $4.5 million of equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and $9.5 million of operating costs and expenses. Earnings for Q1 2012 were positively impacted by continued revenue streams from our core investment activities and servicing platforms, due to increased collections and loan sales from majority-owned U.S. portfolios and recognition of incentive service fees. Additional information related to our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment for Q1 2012, including investment activity and the major components of revenue, costs and expenses, is included in the supplemental schedules of this release.

This schedule provides selected information related to the Company’s economic interests in consolidated and unconsolidated Portfolio Assets and is provided for informational purposes to provide an indication of the future potential unrealized gross profit attributable to those portfolios. In preparing this schedule, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions surrounding the underlying assets in the Portfolios that impact the reported amounts. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future, as more information becomes known, which could impact the reported amounts. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

 


(1) Basis in Portfolio Assets represents FirstCity’s share of the unamortized purchase price of the Portfolios held by the various acquisition entities, some of which are consolidated by FirstCity and others held through equity and beneficial interests in unconsolidated partnerships.

(2) Estimated Remaining Collections represents FirstCity’s share of future projected net cash collections expected from the Portfolios Assets.

(3) Unrealized Gross Profit represents the excess difference between the Estimated Remaining Collections and the Basis in Portfolio Assets.

(4) FirstCity considers Basis in Portfolio Assets a useful measurement of the Company’s underlying holdings and interests in Portfolio Assets. As FirstCity’s share of Basis in Portfolio Assets is considered a non-GAAP measure, the following reconciliation is provided:
