MINNEAPOLIS, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jefferson Capital, Inc. (\u201cJefferson Capital\u201d)<\/strong>, a leading analytically driven purchaser and manager of charged-off, insolvency and active consumer accounts, today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results.<\/p>\n

\u201cJefferson Capital delivered excellent performance for the quarter with record collections and record revenue,\u201d said David Burton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThe strength of our business model with a differentiated investment strategy, disciplined underwriting and best-in-class efficiency positions us well to drive shareholder value now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe investment environment remains favorable: consumer credit is at near record levels across all asset classes with elevated delinquencies and charge-offs, which create a long runway for portfolio supply. At the same time, the unemployment rate remains low which supports collection performance on our existing book and allows us to confidently deploy capital. We have never been better positioned to take advantage of the opportunities ahead with low leverage and ample capital resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
