Intrum Justitia adjusts its reporting of Purchased Debt investments
From quarter 1 2015, Intrum Justitia will adjust its reporting of the key figure “Purchased Debt investments”. In previous years, Intrum Justitia has reported this key figure based on outgoing cash-flows. From 2015, the group will report Purchased Debt investments based on when investments are contractually agreed and recorded on the balance sheet, as this represents a more relevant definition for when a Purchased Debt acquisition is completed.
The table below illustrates the historical development for both metrics during 2013-2014, which shows that the difference between the two metrics is insignificant when comparing over a full year.
