Encore Capital Group, an international financial company specializing in the purchase and management of non-performing loans, closed a strong first quarter of 2025.
Thanks to a favorable market environment in the US, portfolio purchases reached a record $316 million, up 34% compared to the same period last year. Collections increased by 23%, reaching $454 million in the US, and contributing to a sharp rise in earnings per share: $1.93, more than double the result from a year ago.
Positive results also came from Europe, where the group’s operations — conducted through Cabot — maintained a steady pace, with collections up 7% year over year.
Buoyed by this solid start, Encore confirmed its full-year guidance: more than $1.35 billion in portfolio purchases and $2.4 billion in expected collections.
