The corresponding amount is inside parenthesis, i.e. it is a negative amount or a \"cash outflow\"

One thing that does puzzle me is this, it should be counted as income, though it would be of course subtracted from losses. At a given moment it would be written off and later it would become positive due to recovery. You would have to look at what these accounting figures are actually reflecting, perhaps not an easy task.

Maybe it is being subtracted again from some loss figure.

agree  Antonio Castillo González: Sí, porque cobrar un incobrable es casi un contrasentido. No vas a poner recovery of unrecoverable debts:-) En realidad se trata del cobro de cantidades que se han regularizado (have been written off the books). También podrías poner "bad debt recovery".
