Intrum has initiated a financial turnaround strategy centered on debt reduction and capital restructuring. Following a reconstruction process, the company planned a 7.5 billion SEK equity issue for the summer of 2026 and completed a portfolio sale exceeding 200 million euros to lower debt levels. Projections indicated that quarterly interest costs would decrease from approximately 900 million SEK to 750 million SEK.

However, recent third-quarter results revealed significant financial challenges. The company reported an adjusted operating profit of 976 million SEK, missing analyst expectations, while the reported operating profit fell to -266 million SEK. This downturn included a 1.5 billion SEK goodwill write-down in Germany.

While the company continues its ‘Intrum 2030’ strategy—including a 2.5 billion SEK portfolio sale to Brocc—servicing revenues remain under pressure. Declining portfolios in Greece, Spain, and Germany have contributed to a decrease in servicing segment revenue, leading to expectations that full-year external servicing revenues will be lower than in 2025.
