Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution Business Segment

 

For the third quarter of 2011 (“Q3 2011”), our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment reported $3.1 million in earnings — comprised primarily of $17.3 million in revenues, $1.4 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, $13.0 million of operating costs and expenses, and $2.6 million of income tax expense and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Earnings for Q3 2011 were positively impacted by continued revenue streams from our core investment activities and servicing platform (due to increased collections). Additional information related to our Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business segment, including the major components of revenue, costs and expenses, 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 September 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 Business Segment

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:
