"The second quarter represented another positive step in our journey of creating sustained shareholder value," said Martin Sjolund, president and chief executive officer. "We had another period of robust portfolio investments at attractive purchase price multiples, record ERC, and improved portfolio income as we continue to focus on high-return opportunities. Improvement in our cash efficiency ratio reflects the work we have been doing to increase cash collections and manage expenses, leading to Adjusted EBITDA growth that outpaced cash collections growth." 

"More importantly, we have hit the ground running since I've stepped into the CEO role. Building on PRA's global scale and strong foundation, we are working with urgency to drive a meaningful improvement in our financial and operational results over the long term. Leveraging my experience strengthening and growing our European business with a proven multi-year track record of performance, we are accelerating the transformation of our U.S. business across our three strategic pillars: optimizing investments, operational execution, and managing expenses. I have confidence in our ability to develop PRA into the leading player in our industry, and look forward to building on our momentum."

Use of 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 Adjusted EBITDA, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense; plus interest expense, net; plus other expense; plus depreciation and amortization; plus impairment of real estate; 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. 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 as it excludes certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the Company's business, and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM) ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

In addition, the Company uses return on average tangible equity ("ROATE"), which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, 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 stockholder 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 annualized Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.

ROATE may include certain items that are not indicative of the operating results of the Company's portfolio. Accordingly, the Company also uses Adjusted ROATE, which is defined as ROATE excluding the impact of gains/losses from the sale of equity method investments, 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 excludes the impact of gains/losses that are not indicative of the operating results of the Company's portfolio.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to average tangible equity. The table also provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and provides the Company's ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):
