• | Fourth quarter revenues increase 8% to a record $298 million |
• | Fourth quarter Non-GAAP Economic EPS increases 12% to $1.31 |

• | Encore deploys $345 million worldwide in fourth quarter |

SAN DIEGO, February 24, 2016 -- Encore Capital Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECPG), an international specialty finance company providing debt recovery solutions for consumers across a broad range of assets, today reported consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
“Our expanded international platform has positioned us to deploy capital in a number of different asset classes and geographies around the world at higher returns. In addition, our core business in the U.S. is seeing the benefits resulting from our investment in consumer-centric collections programs. To focus on our higher return investments and in order to maximize our returns on invested capital, we’ve reached an agreement to divest our tax lien subsidiary, Propel.” said Kenneth A. Vecchione, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The sale of Propel provides significant benefits to Encore. In addition to allowing us to take advantage of new opportunities for higher returns both in the U.S. and around the world, this transaction will allow us to improve our liquidity and lower our leverage. We expect the sale transaction to close before the end of March.”
Encore issued a separate press release today regarding the agreement to divest Propel.
“Additionally, we’ve already secured $270 million in committed capital deployments for our domestic business in 2016. These commitments are taking place with improved returns compared to last year. Presently, we see 15% higher returns from these portfolios based on moderated pricing and continued improvement in liquidations,” said Vecchione.
Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2015:
• | Estimated Remaining Collections (ERC) grew 10% to a record $5.7 billion, compared to $5.2 billion at the end of last year. |
• | Gross collections from the portfolio purchasing and recovery business grew 6% to $417 million, compared to $394 million in the same period of the prior year. |

Encore deployed $148 million in the U.S., $69 million in Europe and $76 million in other geographies during the fourth quarter of 2015. Encore’s subsidiary Propel Financial Services also purchased $52 million of tax liens during the fourth quarter of 2015, raising Encore’s total deployment in the quarter to $345 million. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company has included adjusted income attributable to Encore and adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Encore per share (also referred to as economic EPS when adjusted for certain shares associated with our convertible notes that will not be issued but are reflected in the fully diluted share count for accounting purposes) because management uses this measure to assess operating performance, in order to highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has included information concerning adjusted EBITDA because management utilizes this information, which is materially similar to a financial measure contained in covenants used in the Company’s revolving credit facility, in the evaluation of its operations and believes that this measure is a useful indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash collections in excess of operating expenses through the liquidation of its receivable portfolios. The Company has included information concerning adjusted operating expenses in order to facilitate a comparison of approximate cash costs to cash collections for the portfolio

purchasing and recovery business in the periods presented. Adjusted income attributable to Encore, adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to Encore per share/economic EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted operating expenses have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, net income per share, and total operating expenses as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has attached to this news release a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
