Event
Debt collector Credit Corp has performed well today following the release of their first half numbers this morning.
The company printed a profit number of $33.6m, which was in line with expectations, but surprised the market with an upgrade to full year guidance.
The company revised full year guidance to $69-70m, around the same level as consensus, but higher than the previously guided $67-69m.
Credit Corp noted much of the growth has been driven by US debt buying which has seen substantial growth since FY15 and is expected to add ~$5m to NPAT in FY19, exceeding expectations. Locally, the ANZ “debt buying segment sustained near-record collections.”
