20 Outcome from investments in purchased debt
Increased
revenue from
purchase of
receivables
Over the past five years Intrum Justitia has increased its
purchasing of receivables, in part because more clients
want to sell their portfolios, and in part because we
have increased our expertise in analyzing and purchasing
portfolios with these types of receivables. Since
2002 our revenues have increased from SEK 163 million to around
SEK 861 million in 2010. In 2010 Intrum Justitia acquired 240
portfolios for a value of SEK 1,050 M. Portfolio purchasing is divided
up geographically and by different sectors. At the end of 2010,
no single country accounted for more than 22 percent of our total
portfolio. During 2010, Intrum Justitia introduced a production
software for the Financial Services line, which includes workflow
management and evaluation tools. It further industrializes our routines
and increases the efficiency in the evaluation process.
A PLAYER IN THE GLOBAL MARKET
The market for overdue receivables is global, generates billions of
SEK in revenue and consists of all types of credit portfolios. The
companies selling their receivables are companies that grant credit,
either as their primary service or as part of their overall business.
