Mergers and Acquisitions
The Contradictory Impact of Credit Card Charge-offs, Unemployment Data, and the U.S. Savings Rate As hopes rise for the economy to begin emerging from the recession that has crippled consumers and financial institutions, recent information on charge-off rates, unemployment, and household savings paint a complicated picture of where the economic recovery process is headed. Read in isolation, a single data point related to any one of the measures above may hint at a light at the end of the tunnel. Taken as a whole, the nexus of these three economic indicators might forecast good and bad news all in the same breath. For example, outstanding revolving credit—primarily credit card debt—shrunk at an annual rate of 11 percent in April. This fact makes sense given that the U.S. savings rate sharply increased to 5.7 percent in the same month. As consumers’ access to credit continues to be squeezed by card issuers and amid concerns that the current recession may be a long-drawn-out affair, consumers are spending less and saving more. But in the same month, Fitch Ratings reported that credit card charge-offs rose to more than nine and a half percent, 50 percent higher than they were at the same time in 2008. If American consumers are saving more and spending less on plastic, why aren’t they paying their bills? This question and others like it are of major concern to the ARM industry, and this section of the Executive Conference Call will help owners and executives of collection agencies and other ARM service providers better understand the paradoxical economic information that confronts them every day and help them devise solutions that maximize profitability in a down economy. The Art of a Deal – Acquiring a Distressed Agency Many former industry executives whose non-competes expired as well agencies that are in a good financial position are aggressively on the hunt to acquire distressed agencies to obtain new clients, personnel, gain a time zone, or to expand into a new vertical market. The question many want to know is how these deals are being valued and structured in today’s market. In this Executive Conference Call, we will tackle this question and share our insights from recent transactions on how buyers are approaching value and deal structure as well as how they are working through legal, out-of trust, and vendor issues to get deals done.
