Europe's debt collectors have gone from feast to famine amid a collapse in the number of bank loans turning sour. Companies that recover unpaid bank debts, and which thrived in the aftermath of the euro zone sovereign debt crisis, are rethinking their business models and examining tie-ups with rivals after COVID-19, an energy crisis and two-decade-high interest rates failed to unleash a new wave of loan defaults. Banks in Europe's south have largely completed the clean-ups that once fed the bad loan bonanza and pulled in overseas investment firms such as Apollo, Cerberus, PIMCO, Elliott and Lone Star, while government support measures have helped keep companies and households on their feet.
Intrum said on Monday it would sell a large portion of its investment portfolio to affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management for 8.2 billion Swedish crowns ($785.41 million). Intrum said it would use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce its debt and will retain a 35% stake in the purchasing entity. The company also said it expects to book an accounting loss of 845 million Swedish crowns due to the transaction, aimed at helping Intrum meet its debt maturities up to 2025 without having to rely on the markets.
