James T. Sartain, CEO of FirstCity, commented, “I am very pleased with our earnings performance and investment activity this quarter. We continue to see improvement in the level of collections from our portfolio assets, and the portfolio companies in our special situations platform continue to contribute to our bottom line. Furthermore, we purchased over $80 million in portfolio assets with our investments partners this quarter — with our share approximating $22 million. We believe that this quarter’s acquisitions will continue to enhance the future earnings power of our servicing platform.”

 

Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution

 

For the second quarter of 2011 (“Q2 2011”), our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment reported $2.6 million in earnings — comprised primarily of $14.5 million in revenues, $1.7 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, $10.9 million of operating costs and expenses, and $3.0 million of income tax expense and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Earnings for Q2 2011 were positively impacted by continued revenue streams from our core investment activities and servicing platform (due to increased collections), combined with lower impairment provisions from our consolidated Portfolio Assets and loan investments in Q2 2011 compared to the prior year’s second quarter. Additional information related to our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment, including the major components of revenue, is included in the supplemental schedules of this release.

The Company’s unrealized gross profit associated with its core portfolio assets totaled $136.1 million at June 30, 2011. Unrealized gross profit is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the Schedule of Estimated Unrealized Gross Profit from Portfolio Assets on page 9 of this release for a reconciliation of this measure with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Special Situations Platform

 

Our Special Situations Platform business segment provided $1.6 million in earnings for Q2 2011 — comprised primarily of $2.3 million in revenues, $1.6 million in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, and $1.8 million of operating costs and expenses. Earnings for Q2 2011 were positively impacted by continued revenue streams from our consolidated and unconsolidated portfolio companies and loan investments, combined with no impairment provisions recorded during the quarter. Additional information related to our Special Situations Platform business segment, including the major components of revenue, 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:
