"The fourth quarter concluded a transformative year for Intrum, marked by continued progress on key growth initiatives, strong operational execution, and a sustained focus on deleveraging and active management of our portfolio and capital structure. Both business lines made good progress in the quarter, with Servicing delivering continued growth, improving margins and further efficiency gains. Investing had another quarter of strong collections and new investment volumes at attractive returns. With the revised strategy and financial targets in place, Intrum is well positioned to enter its next chapter and accelerate as the European leader in credit management services."
