The agreement allows Intrum to scale its investment activity without increasing its debt, providing servicing revenues and additional investment management revenue, in line with the company’s ‘capital-light’ strategy.

The investment agreement includes a 3-year exclusivity period and covers investments in consumer unsecured non-performing loan (NPL) portfolios across Intrum’s European servicing footprint. Intrum and Cerberus will seek to jointly invest up to EUR 1bn annually depending on market conditions and investment criteria under the agreement. Intrum will provide up to 30 percent of the capital for the investments, subject to adjustment under certain conditions.

Servicing income and additional fees

Intrum will enter into 5-year servicing agreements for portfolios acquired under the capital partnership. Intrum is responsible for servicing nearly all portfolios purchased under the partnership, with selected exceptions, and will be paid market-based fees which will generate new revenue for the company.

In addition to the servicing fees, and in line with Intrum’s Investment Management strategy, Intrum will earn additional fees consisting of execution fees, portfolio management fees, and performance-based fees.

Andrés Rubio, President & Chief Executive Officer, Intrum:

“The finalisation of this partnership is yet another milestone in Intrum’s capital-light strategy. As a partner, Cerberus is an ideal strategic fit and the partnership further strengthens our position in a macro environment that is driving high demand for credit management services and investments. We have developed strong momentum since initiating our partnership with Cerberus in July last year, agreeing to acquire 12 portfolios together, and we have a strong pipeline of investment opportunities ahead.”

David Teitelbaum, President of Cerberus Global Investments and Global Head of Real Estate, Non-Performing Loans and Financial Opportunities:

“Our partnership with Intrum highlights our joint focus on emerging opportunities in unsecured loans. This collaboration strengthens our investment capabilities and positions us as leaders in a dynamic sector. We look forward to continuing our successful work with Intrum and delivering attractive solutions across Europe.”
