Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $51.4 million, which included $27.4 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast and a $24.0 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were due largely to cash collections overperformance in Europe, and also included overperformance in South America and the U.S. Collections overperformance in the U.S. was net of a one-time payment of $15.0 million to a seller to modify the terms and conditions of certain previously purchased portfolios to allow for increased use of legal collections. Changes in expected future recoveries were driven by the results of the Company's forecasting models, combined with evaluations of recent performance, and were due in large part to increases in the collections forecasts for certain European and South American pools and the 2024 U.S. Core pool (driven by the increase in estimated remaining collections resulting from the above-mentioned contract modification) and 2017 to 2020 U.S. Core pools. These increases were partially offset by negative changes in expected future recoveries on the 2021 to 2023 U.S. Core pools, a portion of which was driven by changes in the expected timing of the recoveries.
Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $60.6 million, which included $34.2 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast, due primarily to collections performance in the U.S. and Europe. Changes in expected future recoveries of $26.5 million mainly reflect the Company's assessment of the 2013 to 2020 U.S. Core pools and a number of pools in Europe, which resulted in increases to the expected cash flows considering that recent performance of those pools is expected to continue.

Changes in expected recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $112.6 million, which included $84.2 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast and a $28.4 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were primarily due to cash collections overperformance in Europe, South America, and to a lesser extent the U.S., where collections overperformance was impacted by a one-time payment of $15.0 million to a seller to modify the terms and conditions of certain previously purchased portfolios to allow for increased use of legal collections. Changes in expected future recoveries were driven by the results of the Company's forecasting models, combined with evaluations of recent performance, and were due in large part to increases in the collections forecasts for certain European and South American pools and the U.S. 2024 Core pool (driven by the increase in estimated remaining collections resulting from the above-mentioned contract modification).

The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. As of September 30, 2025, as part of the Company’s interim impairment assessment, based on a sustained decrease in its stock price and market capitalization, the Company determined there to be an indicator of potential goodwill impairment in its Debt Buying and Collection (“DBC”) reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test of the DBC reporting unit as of September 30, 2025, using the income approach, and also compared the estimated fair value to the Company’s market capitalization.
The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and a residual terminal value. Forecasted financial results for the DBC reporting unit are developed considering several inputs and assumptions, including portfolio purchasing volume, purchase price multiples, ERC growth rate, terminal value and operating expenses.
Based on the quantitative impairment test performed as of September 30, 2025, driven in large part by the comparison to market capitalization and the impact on estimated fair value of a decrease in the terminal value assumption and an increase in the discount rate assumption since the most recent annual impairment test, the Company determined that the goodwill in its DBC reporting unit was fully impaired, and as a result, recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $412.6 million in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, goodwill of $26.9 million related to the Company’s Claims Compensation Bureau, LLC (“CCB”) reporting unit, and the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment related to this reporting unit as of September 30, 2025.

On or before September 30, 2028, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 106.250% plus accrued and unpaid interest with the net cash proceeds of a public offering of common stock of the Company provided, that at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and that such redemption will occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such public offering.
In addition, on or after September 30, 2028, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 103.1250% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed. The applicable redemption price changes if redeemed during the 12 months beginning September 30 of each year to 101.5625% for 2029 and then 100% for 2030 and thereafter.
In the event of a change of control, each holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder's notes at an offer price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company sells assets under certain circumstances and does not use the proceeds for specified purposes, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The related indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the notes may be due and payable immediately.

Note 7. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Basic EPS are computed by dividing net (loss)/income available to common stockholders of PRA Group, Inc. by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed using the same components as basic EPS, with the denominator adjusted for nonvested share awards, if dilutive. Share-based awards that are contingent upon the attainment of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million antidilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, respectively.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| (Loss)/income before income taxes | $ | (379,605) | | $ | 28,250 | | | $ | (305,101) | | $ | 76,205 |
| Income tax expense/(benefit) | $ | 24,361 | | $ | (672) | | | $ | 44,088 | | $ | 10,416 |
| Effective tax rate | (6.4) | % | | (2.4) | % | | | (14.5) | % | | 13.7 | % |
The relationship between (Loss)/income before income taxes and Income tax expense/(benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was mainly impacted by the goodwill impairment charge.
The relationship between (Loss)/income before income taxes and Income tax expense/(benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was impacted by a $7.7 million reduction in tax expense due to the reversal of a valuation allowance associated with the resolution of a tax matter in Europe.
Recently enacted tax legislation
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA introduced a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including the expansion of bonus depreciation and revisions to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from international operations. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in fiscal year 2025 and others implemented through fiscal year 2027.
The Company does not expect the relevant provisions of the OBBBA will have a material impact on its 2025 income tax expense and is currently assessing the impact on future periods, which it expects will depend, in large part, on the amount and composition of taxable income generated by the Company.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Forward flow agreements
The Company enters into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period. The amounts purchased are also dependent on actual delivery by the sellers, and while purchases under these agreements comprise a significant portion of the Company's overall purchases, as of September 30, 2025, the estimated minimum contractual purchase obligation under forward flow agreements was not significant.
Litigation and regulatory matters
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time-to-time subject to a variety of legal and regulatory claims, inquiries, proceedings, and other matters, including those described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K. The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These estimates involve significant judgment, and accordingly, the Company's estimates will change from time-to-time, and actual expenses could exceed the current estimates. As of September 30, 2025, there were no material developments in any of the previously disclosed legal proceedings.
Note 12. Segments
The Company has determined that it is managed on a consolidated basis under a single operating segment, Accounts Receivable Management ("ARM"), and accordingly, it has one reportable segment. The ARM segment is comprised of the Company's primary business, DBC, which generates revenue through the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans, and CCB, which generates revenue through the purchase of, and provision of fee-based services for, class action claims recoveries in the U.S. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company’s chief executive officer, who assesses performance based on the Company's consolidated results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Segment revenue, significant segment expenses and profit or loss
ARM segment revenue is presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements under Total revenues. Significant segment expenses regularly considered by the CODM are those most directly related to the Company's revenue generating activities, including Compensation and benefits, Legal collection costs, Legal collection fees, Agency fees, Professional and outside services and Communication. All other operating expenses appearing in the Consolidated Income Statements constitute other segment items. ARM segment profit or loss is presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements under Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.
Segment assets
ARM segment assets are presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets under Total assets.
Other segment information
ARM segment profit or loss and segment assets for three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 include the following amounts (in thousands):

Note 13. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires enhanced annual disclosures with respect to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis in its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025 and is currently evaluating the impact on its income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 provides guidance that will expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact these ASUs will have on its disclosures.
All other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
General
We are a global financial services company with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. We also purchase and provide fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.
The nonperforming loans we acquire are primarily the unpaid obligations of individuals owed to credit originators. Our Core operation specializes in purchasing and collecting nonperforming loans, which are sold by credit originators when they choose not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in, collecting the full balance owed. Our Insolvency operation consists primarily of purchasing and collecting on nonperforming loans where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding.
With 2,814 full-time equivalent employees worldwide, we collaborate with customers to help them resolve their debt. For additional information about our business, refer to Part I, Item 1 "Business" in our 2024 10-K.
Third quarter of 2025
Our focus for the third quarter of 2025 was on executing and delivering against our near-term priorities, which, for the U.S. business, included the reorganization of our leadership and governance structure, establishing a talent hub in Charlotte, North Carolina, and bringing our corporate and support staff back to the office. We strengthened our capital structure through the issuance of €300.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2032 ("2032 senior notes"), our first bond offering in Europe. We also made progress on our information technology roadmap and capitalized on an opportunity to increase the ERC on certain portfolios by modifying an existing contract, and shortly after quarter-end, we implemented a cost reduction program in the U.S.
Due to a sustained decrease in our stock price and market capitalization, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test during the third quarter and determined that the goodwill in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit was fully impaired, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $412.6 million.
Overall, we remain focused on executing our strategy and continuing to improve the financial performance of our business. Our financial results for the quarter included the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| l | Portfolio purchases | | $255.5 million | | Decrease of 27.0% compared to the prior year period, comprised of $154.3 million in the Americas and $101.2 million in Europe. Purchasing levels reflected selective buying this quarter as we sought to balance portfolio returns and leverage. |
| l | Cash collections | | $542.2 million | | Increase of 13.7% compared to the prior year period, comprised of $333.7 million in the Americas and $208.6 million in Europe. Collections were well diversified globally and reflected recent purchasing levels and the continued momentum of our global initiatives, especially in our U.S. legal collections channel. |
| l | ERC | | $8.4 billion | | Increase of 15.2% year-over-year, comprised of $4.2 billion in each of the Americas and Europe. A globally diversified ERC enables us to benefit from the aggregation of individual market risk into a wider global portfolio. |
| l | Core Purchase Price Multiples (year-to-date) | | 2.14x Americas and Australia | | Purchasing discipline continued to drive improved multiples in both the Americas and Europe. We heightened our focus on net returns, supported by a global investment framework that targets achievement of minimum return thresholds. |
| 1.88x Europe | |
| l | Loss before income taxes | | ($379.6) million | | Decrease of $407.9 million compared to the prior year period. Increased revenues, driven by higher portfolio income, were offset by the goodwill impairment charge, increased costs in our U.S. legal channel and higher interest expense. |
| l | Net loss attributable to PRA | | ($407.7) million | | Decrease of $434.9 million compared to the prior year period, with diluted EPS of $(10.43). The decrease was driven largely by the tax impact of the goodwill impairment charge and a discrete income tax benefit item recognized in the prior year period. |

Europe Core collections increased $27.7 million, spread broadly across most of our markets and due, in part, to favorable foreign exchange variation. These increases were partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in cash collections in South America, due primarily to lower recent purchasing levels.
Total year-to-date cash collections were $1.6 billion in 2025, an increase of $175.5 million, or 12.5%, compared to $1.4 billion in 2024. U.S. Core collections increased $125.2 million, which included a $77.0 million increase in legal collections, driven in large part by higher volumes resulting from the expansion of our U.S. legal collections activity.

exchange rate variation. These increases were partially offset by a $19.2 million decrease in cash collections in South America, due primarily to lower recent purchasing levels and unfavorable foreign exchange rate variation.

Total portfolio revenue was $309.9 million in Q3 2025, an increase of $33.2 million, or 12.0%, compared to $276.7 million in Q3 2024. Portfolio income increased $42.4 million, or 19.6%, driven largely by the impact of higher recent purchasing and improved pricing. Changes in expected recoveries decreased $9.3 million, or 15.3%. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast decreased $6.8 million due largely to a one-time payment of $15.0 million to a seller in Q3 2025 to allow for the increased use of legal collections on certain previously purchased U.S. Core portfolios, partially offset by higher overperformance on our South American pools. Changes in expected future recoveries, which included the increase in estimated remaining collections resulting from the one-time payment in the U.S., decreased $2.4 million due primarily to a lower net increase in the collections forecasts on certain U.S. Core pools. These decreases were partially offset by a net increase in the collections forecasts on our South American pools in Q3 2025 compared to a net decrease in Q3 2024.
Total year-to-date portfolio revenue was $863.0 million in 2025, an increase of $49.9 million, or 6.1%, compared to $813.1 million in 2024. Portfolio income increased $123.0 million, or 19.6%, driven largely by the impact of higher recent purchasing and improved pricing. Changes in expected recoveries decreased $73.0 million. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast decreased $40.1 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower overperformance on our U.S. pools and the one-time payment of $15.0 million to a seller in the current year period to allow for the increased use of legal collections on certain previously purchased U.S. Core portfolios, partially offset by higher overperformance on our European pools across most of our markets. Changes in expected future recoveries, which included the increase in estimated remaining collections resulting from the one-time payment in the U.S., decreased $32.9 million due largely to a net decrease in the collections forecast on our U.S. Core pools compared to a net increase in the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by a higher net increase in the collections forecast on our European pools and a net increase in the collections forecasts on our South American pools compared to a net decrease in the prior year period.

Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits expense was $74.2 million in Q3 2025, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 2.5%, compared to Q3 2024, while the year-to-date expense decreased $0.7 million, or 0.3%. These decreases were primarily due to lower collector compensation costs in the U.S., driven by the consolidation of our U.S. call centers and offshoring of a portion of our U.S. collection activities, partially offset by higher non-collector wage costs.
Legal collection costs
Legal collection costs consist primarily of costs paid to courts where a lawsuit is filed for the purpose of attempting to collect on an account. Q3 2025 legal collection costs increased $18.0 million, or 62.5%, compared to Q3 2024, while the year-to-date costs increased $27.0 million, or 29.7%. These increases were driven by an expansion in activity in our U.S. legal collections channel resulting, in large part, from our cash generating initiatives.
Legal collection fees
Legal collection fees represent contingent fees incurred for cash collections generated by our third-party attorney network. Q3 2025 fees increased $2.1 million, or 14.4%, compared to Q3 2024, while year-to-date fees increased $7.1 million, or 17.5%. These increases mainly reflected higher external legal collections within our U.S. Core portfolio resulting, in large part, from the expansion in activity in our U.S. legal collections channel.
Agency fees
Agency fees primarily represent third-party collection fees. Q3 2025 fees increased $3.5 million, or 16.8%, compared to Q3 2024, while year-to-date fees increased $6.9 million, or 11.1%. Higher collection fees in Brazil and increased outsourcing in certain European markets drove the increase for the quarterly period. The increase for the year-to-date period was primarily due to additional fees paid to debt collection agencies in the U.S. and increased outsourcing in Europe.
Communication
Communication expense relates mainly to correspondence, network and calling costs associated with our collection efforts. Q3 2025 communication expense decreased $1.7 million, or 16.6%, compared to Q3 2024, while year-to-date expense decreased $5.9 million, or 17.3%. These decreases were primarily due to a mix of lower-cost communications strategies utilized across our U.S. Core operation.
Goodwill impairment
We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $412.6 million in Q3 2025 related to our DBC reporting unit. For additional information, refer to Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $64.1 million in Q3 2025, an increase of $3.0 million, or 5.0%, compared to Q3 2024, while year-to-date expense increased $18.7 million, or 11.1%. These increases were primarily due to higher average debt balances.
Income tax expense/(benefit)
Income tax expense/(benefit) and our effective tax rate were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Effective tax rate | (6.4) | % | | (2.4) | % | | | | | | | (14.5) | % | | 13.7 | % | | | | |
Income tax expense was $24.4 million in Q3 2025, an increase of $25.0 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.7 million in Q3 2024, while year-to-date expense increased $33.7 million to $44.1 million. The effective tax rate in Q3 2025 was (6.4)% compared to an effective tax benefit rate of (2.4)% in Q3 2024. Our effective tax rate depends on the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items. The change in the effective tax rate for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods was due largely to the goodwill impairment charge in the current year and a $7.7 million prior year reduction in tax expense due to the reversal of a valuation allowance associated with the resolution of a tax matter in Europe.
Balance sheet
Finance receivables, net
Finance receivables, net were $4.6 billion as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $431.4 million, or 10.4%, compared to $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2024, driven largely by portfolio acquisitions of $893.7 million, foreign currency translation adjustments of $252.3 million and Changes in expected recoveries of $112.6 million, partially offset by recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net of $827.2 million.
Goodwill
Goodwill was $26.9 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of $369.5 million, or 93.2%, compared to $396.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due to a goodwill impairment charge. As of September 30, 2025, as part of our interim impairment assessment, based on a sustained decrease in our stock price and market capitalization, we determined there to be an indicator of potential goodwill impairment in our DBC reporting unit. As a result, we performed a quantitative impairment test as of September 30, 2025, and determined that the goodwill in our DBC reporting unit was fully impaired. For additional information, refer to Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. As of September 30, 2025, goodwill consisted of $26.9 million in our Claims Compensation Bureau, LLC reporting unit.
Borrowings
Borrowings were $3.6 billion as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $280.4 million, or 8.4%, compared to $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. On September 30, 2025, we completed the issuance of €300.0 million ($352.0 million) in aggregate principal amount of our 2032 senior notes and initially paid down approximately $172.0 million principal amount of outstanding borrowings under each of our North American and European revolving credit facilities with the net proceeds. Issuance of the 2032 senior notes drove an increase of $352.0 million in borrowings under senior notes, which was partially offset by net payments of $53.3 million on our United Kingdom revolving credit facility.
Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc.
Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. was $928.5 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of $206.5 million, or 18.2%, compared to $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by the net loss for the period, partially offset by foreign currency translation adjustments.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, our management also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:
•Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our performance and to set performance goals;
•Adjusted cash efficiency ratio, to monitor and evaluate operating expenses;
•ROATE, to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity; and
•Adjusted ROATE, to standardize ROATE across periods by eliminating certain nonrecurring transactions.
Adjusted EBITDA
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operational and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of our 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 our 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 (loss)/income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with our GAAP financial measure, Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and is adjusted for:
•income tax expense (or less income tax benefit);
•foreign exchange loss (or less foreign exchange gain);
•interest expense, net (or less interest income, net);
•other expense (or less other income);
•depreciation and amortization;
•impairment of real estate;
•goodwill impairment;
•net income attributable to noncontrolling interests;
•gain on sale of equity method investment; and
•recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net less Changes in expected recoveries.

Cash efficiency
We use an Adjusted cash efficiency ratio, which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, to monitor and evaluate operating expenses, excluding goodwill impairment, relative to our 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 our 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 our Adjusted cash efficiency ratios for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

Return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity
We use 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 our equity. Management believes ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the effective use of equity, and is an important component of our 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 (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.
ROATE may include certain items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our business. Accordingly, management also uses Adjusted ROATE to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity. Management believes Adjusted ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors because it excludes the impact of certain transactions that are either unusual or infrequent in nature, or both. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to average tangible equity and a reconciliation of Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc., and presents our ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

SUPPLEMENTAL PERFORMANCE DATA
The tables in this section provide supplemental performance data about our:
•ERC by geography, portfolio type and expected year of collection;
•Core cash collections separated between call center and other collections and legal collections, and constant currency adjusted cash collections; and
•nonperforming loan portfolios and collections by geography, portfolio type and year of purchase.
The collections data presented reflects gross cash collections and does not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, it may not represent relative profitability. The past performance of pools within certain geographies and portfolio types may not be comparable with other locations and portfolio types or indicative of future results. Customer payment patterns in all of the countries in which we operate can be affected by various factors, including general business and economic conditions, seasonal employment trends, income tax refunds and holiday spending habits.
Purchasing
We purchase portfolios of nonperforming loans from a variety of creditors, or acquire portfolios through strategic acquisitions, and segregate them into our Core or Insolvency portfolios, based on the status of the account upon acquisition. In addition, the accounts are segregated into geographical regions based upon where the account was acquired and, as applicable, foreign currency exchange rates are fixed for purposes of comparability in future periods. Ultimately, accounts are aggregated into annual pools based on portfolio type, geography and year of acquisition. Portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of acquisition are represented under Insolvency headings in the tables below. All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included under Core headings. Once an account is initially segregated, it is not later transferred from an Insolvency pool to a Core pool, or vice versa.
Purchase price multiple
The purchase price multiple represents our estimate of total cash collections over the original purchase price of the portfolio. Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, age of the accounts acquired, type and mix of portfolios purchased, expected costs to collect and returns, and changes in operational efficiency and effectiveness. When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and effective interest rate are generally lower. Certain types of accounts, such as Insolvency accounts, have lower collection costs, and we generally pay more for those types of accounts, which results in lower purchase price multiples but similar net income margins compared to other portfolio purchases.
ERC and TEC
Depending on the level of performance and expected future impacts from our operations, we may update ERC and TEC levels based on the results of our cash forecasting with a correlating adjustment to the purchase price multiple. We follow an established process to evaluate ERC, and we typically do not adjust our ERC and TEC until we gain sufficient collection experience with a pool of accounts. Over time, our TEC has often increased as pools have aged resulting in the ratio of TEC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase.
For additional information about our nonperforming loan portfolios, refer to Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Estimated remaining collections
The following table displays our ERC by geography, year and portfolio for the 12 months ending September 30, (in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We actively manage our liquidity to meet our business needs and financial obligations.
Sources of liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents
As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $107.5 million, of which $96.3 million was held by international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. For additional information about the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

(1)Available borrowings after calculation of borrowing base, subject to the committed amounts and debt covenants, which may be used for general corporate purposes, including portfolio purchases.
(2)Subject to borrowing base and debt covenants, including advance rates ranging from 35-55% of applicable ERC.
Interest-bearing deposits
As of September 30, 2025, interest-bearing deposits totaled $139.7 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion (the equivalent of $233.9 million in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2025).
Uses of liquidity and material cash requirements
We believe that funds generated from our business activities, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the capital markets, will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, debt maturities and additional portfolio purchases for at least the next 12 months. Our long-term capital requirements will depend in large part on the level of nonperforming loan portfolios that we purchase.
Market conditions permitting, as we deem appropriate, we may seek to access the debt or equity capital markets or other sources of funding, and it may be necessary to raise additional funds to achieve our business objectives. Business acquisitions or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing. We may also from time-to-time repurchase common stock or senior notes in the open market or otherwise. We also have the ability to slow the purchase of nonperforming loans without significantly impacting current year collections.
Forward flows
We enter into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period.
As of September 30, 2025, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $297.8 million over the next 12 months. This total can vary significantly based on the remaining terms and renewal dates of the agreements and is comprised of $235.4 million for the Americas and Australia and $62.4 million for Europe. These amounts represent our estimated forward flow purchases over the next 12 months under the agreements in place based on projections and other factors, including sellers' estimates of future forward flow sales, and are dependent on actual delivery by the sellers and, in some cases, the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Accordingly, amounts purchased under these agreements may vary significantly. In addition to these agreements, we may also enter into new or renewed forward flow commitments and/or make spot purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios.
Borrowings
As of September 30, 2025, we had $3.6 billion in outstanding borrowings. The estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $249.8 million. After 12 months, principal payments on our debt are due from between one and seven years. Our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants. On September 30, 2025, we completed the private offering of our 2032 senior notes.
For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Share repurchases
On February 25, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program has no stated expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and, subject to compliance with applicable laws, may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases are also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes.
Repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, in block transactions, through purchases made in accordance with trading plans adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other methods, subject to market and/or other conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. There were no repurchases during the third quarter of 2025, and as of September 30, 2025, we had $57.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program, subject to the restrictive covenants discussed above.
Leases
Our leases have remaining terms from one to 7 years. As of September 30, 2025, we had $31.2 million in lease liabilities, of which $7.2 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Derivatives
We enter into derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange rates. As of September 30, 2025, we had $9.1 million of derivative liabilities, of which $1.5 million matures within the next 12 months. The remaining $7.5 million matures in 2028 and later. For additional information, refer to Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Investments
As of September 30, 2025, we held $63.2 million in Swedish treasury securities to meet the liquidity requirements of the Swedish Financial Services Authority for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 3,396 | | | $ | 28,740 | | | $ | (25,344) | | | |
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities mainly reflects the portion of our cash collections recognized as revenue and cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. It does not include cash collections applied to the negative allowance, which are classified as cash flows provided by investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased $61.9 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher cash collections recognized as income, partially offset by higher cash paid for interest and taxes.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $166.9 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $84.9 million in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios, an increase of $49.2 million in proceeds from sales and maturities of investments and an increase of $42.9 million in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $272.5 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a $441.6 million decrease in net proceeds from lines of credit and a $65.7 million decrease related to interest-bearing deposits activity, partially offset by a $250.0 million increase in net proceeds from the issuance and retirement of senior notes. Additionally, we repurchased $10.0 million of our common stock year-to-date 2025 compared to no repurchases during the prior year period.
Effect of foreign exchange rates
The net effect of exchange rates on cash increased $18.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies on our foreign currency denominated borrowings and intercompany balances.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of our significant accounting policies require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We consider accounting estimates to be critical if they (1) involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (2) have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements may be material.
Our critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition on finance receivables, goodwill and income taxes. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the 2024 Form 10-K.

These accounts include IVAs, Trust Deeds in the UK, Consumer Proposals in Canada and bankruptcy accounts in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the UK.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our business is subject primarily to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Except for the issuance of our 2032 senior notes, as further discussed below, our exposure to these risks, as described in Part II, Item 7A in the 2024 Form 10-K, has not changed materially since December 31, 2024.
Interest rate exposure
Of our $3.6 billion in total borrowings as of September 30, 2025, $1.6 billion was fixed rate debt. Considering these fixed rate borrowings and the interest rate hedges on our variable rate debt, with maturities ranging from four months to five years, as of September 30, 2025, 67% of our total debt was either fixed rate or converted to a fixed rate. This represents an increase in our percentage of fixed rate debt compared to recent quarters, driven in large part by the issuance of our 2032 senior notes.
Foreign currency exposure
We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. During Q3 2025, our revenues from operations outside the U.S. were $152.3 million. Our 2032 senior notes expose us to foreign currency gains and losses on the remeasurement of the notes and interest payments thereon to the U.S. dollar. We hold certain Euro-denominated assets whose foreign currency gains and losses partially offset this exposure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
