Recent Company History

Over the last few earnings cycles, PRA Group reported growing cash collections and record ERC, but results were punctuated by items like the $412.6 million non‑cash goodwill impairment in Q3 2025. Despite generally strong operating metrics, three of the last five earnings events saw negative price reactions, while only two aligned positively. This announcement continues the 2025 story of higher portfolio purchases, robust collections, and the impact of prior impairment on GAAP results.

Average Historical Move earnings

In the past five earnings announcements, PRAA’s average move was -5.81%, with several instances of negative reactions despite solid operating metrics, underscoring historically cautious sentiment around results.

Recent earnings show growing cash collections, larger portfolio purchases, and rising ERC, offset in 2025 by a significant goodwill impairment that distorted GAAP profitability while adjusted metrics remained positive.

Analysis

The stock is surging +17.6% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the article’s focus on double‑digit cash collections growth, record $8.6B ERC, and $1.3B Adjusted EBITDA despite the earlier goodwill impairment. Historically, earnings headlines have produced an average move of -5.81%, with several downside reactions, so a sharp upside move would represent a break from that pattern and could be sensitive to shifts in sentiment around adjusted versus GAAP results.

Key Terms

estimated remaining collections, goodwill impairment, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, +2 more

6 terms

estimated remaining collections financial

"Record estimated remaining collections ("ERC")2 of $8.6 billion."

Estimated remaining collections is the amount of money a company expects to still receive from its customers for goods or services already provided. It helps investors understand how much income is still expected to come in from current sales, similar to predicting how much money is left to collect from a partially paid bill. This figure provides insight into the company's future cash flow and financial health.

goodwill impairment financial

"non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $413 Million in Q3 2025"

Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.

adjusted net income financial

"adjusted net income attributable to PRA 3 of $72.6 million"

Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA 5 of $1.3 billion, up 16%."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

During the fourth quarter, we repurchased $10 million of our shares, bringing the total amount repurchased in 2025 to $20 million, in line with our capital allocation strategy to drive shareholder value."

"Overall, we are moving in the right direction as we continue to improve our financial profile and focus on delivering higher returns while reducing leverage. Looking ahead, we are introducing our PRA 3.0 strategy to evolve the Company into a high-performing, technology-enabled global allocator of capital. We believe that the actions we are taking will drive stronger financial results and unlock meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including the non-GAAP financial measures referred to below, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Included below are reconciliations of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the corresponding non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures included below should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures included below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled financial measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (or loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense (or less income tax benefit); less foreign exchange gain (or plus foreign exchange loss); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense; plus depreciation and amortization; plus impairment of real estate; plus goodwill impairment; plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; less gain on sale of equity method investment; and plus recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net less Changes in expected recoveries. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operational and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of the Company's operational and financial performance and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Adjusted Cash Efficiency Ratio

The Company uses an adjusted cash efficiency ratio to monitor and evaluate operating expenses, excluding goodwill impairment ("Adjusted operating expenses"), relative to cash collections plus fees and revenue recognized from our class action claims recovery services. Management believes the adjusted cash efficiency ratio is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the Company's management of operating expenses. The adjusted cash efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing cash receipts less Adjusted operating expenses by cash receipts. The following table provides a reconciliation of Total operating expenses to Adjusted operating expenses and presents the Company's Adjusted cash efficiency ratios for the years indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

	Adjusted Operating Expenses Reconciliation and Adjusted Cash Efficiency Ratio

Adjusted cash efficiency ratio	61.3 %	58.8 %	58.0 %

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to PRA, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE

We use Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and Diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of certain transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature and not reflective of our ongoing operations ("Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA" and "Adjusted diluted earnings per share", respectively) to monitor and evaluate our operating performance and allow for better comparability. Management believes Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful financial measures for investors in evaluating our operating results.

In addition, the Company uses return on average tangible equity ("ROATE") to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to the Company's equity. Management believes ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the effective use of equity, and is an important component of its long-term shareholder return. Average tangible equity is defined as average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. less average goodwill and average other intangible assets. ROATE is calculated by dividing Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.

ROATE may include certain items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of the Company's business. Accordingly, the Company also uses Adjusted ROATE to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to the Company's equity. Management believes that Adjusted ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors because it is based on Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA by average tangible equity.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. to average tangible equity and a reconciliation of Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA and provides the Company's ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the years indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):
