Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Business
As used herein, the terms "PRA Group," the "Company," or similar terms refer to PRA Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Nature of operations
PRA Group, Inc. is a specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and incorporated in Delaware. The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of nonperforming loan portfolios. Most of the Company's purchases are from credit originators who have chosen not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in collecting, the full balance owed to them ("Core" accounts). To a lesser extent, it also purchases loans in situations where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding ("Insolvency" accounts). The Company's principal markets are the United States ("U.S.") and Europe, and on a significantly smaller scale, it also operates in South America, Canada and Australia. As part of an ancillary business, the Company purchases and provides fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PRA Group and other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed, and realized results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K").
Prior period reclassifications
In the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $14.3 million, which included a $7.8 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries and $6.5 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance). Changes in expected future recoveries were primarily due to increases and the impact of timing adjustments in the collections forecasts on the 2024 and 2025 U.S. Core pools and certain European pools, partially offset by decreases in the collections forecasts on the 2021-2023 U.S. Core pools. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were due primarily to cash collections overperformance in Europe.
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 2017-2020 U.S. Core pools. These increases were partially offset by negative changes in expected future recoveries on the 2021-2023 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Changes in expected recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $155.1 million, which included a $103.2 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries and $51.9 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast. As described in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026, the Company updated the forecasts for a majority of the pools in its European markets as of June 30, 2026, which resulted in a positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries of approximately $105 million. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were due primarily to cash collections overperformance in Europe.
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). These increases were partially offset by negative changes in expected future recoveries on the 2021-2023 U.S. Core pools, a portion of which was driven by changes in the expected timing of the recoveries.

(1)Fair value is estimated using the proprietary pricing models the Company utilizes to make portfolio acquisition decisions.
(2)Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and approximates carrying value due to the short-term deposit periods.
(3)Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and approximates carrying value due to the short-term interest rate periods.
(4)The carrying amounts and fair values do not include debt issuance costs.
(5)Fair value is based on quoted market prices obtained from secondary market broker quotes.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company assessed the goodwill in its DBC reporting unit for impairment and determined that the goodwill was fully impaired. The estimated fair value of the DBC reporting unit represents a Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurement.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments, the fair value of these instruments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market or observable inputs existed for such instruments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled.

Note 9. Stockholders' Equity
On August 3, 2026, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The new share repurchase program replaces the Company's prior share repurchase program, which was terminated on August 3, 2026, and under which no additional shares can be repurchased. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended September 30, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,134,323 shares of its common stock for a total of $20.0 million. Share repurchases are subject to restrictive covenants contained in the Company's credit facilities and the indentures that govern its senior notes. The Company's practice is to retire the shares it repurchases. As of September 30, 2026, there was $150.0 million remaining for share repurchases under the new share repurchase program.
Note 10. Earnings per Share
The following tables provide a reconciliation between basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic EPS are computed by dividing net 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.
Note 11. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Income/(loss) before income taxes | $ | 22,070 | | $ | (379,605) | | | $ | 150,932 | | $ | (305,101) |
| Income tax expense | 3,465 | | 24,361 | | | 41,614 | | 44,088 |
| Effective tax rate | 15.7 | % | | (6.4) | % | | | 27.6 | % | | (14.5) | % |
The relationship between Income/(loss) before income taxes and Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was impacted by the Company's pretax income, mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026, reflects a decrease in the forecasted annual effective tax rate due to changes in the forecasted mix of income across jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the prior year periods was impacted by the goodwill impairment charge recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period and tax expense or benefit is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year is applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projections for the remainder of the year. Since the Company operates in foreign countries with varying tax rates, the Company's quarterly effective tax rate is dependent, in part, on the level of income or loss from its international operations.
Note 12. 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, 2026, 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 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 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, 2026, there were no material developments in the legal proceeding disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Note 13. Business Segments
The Company has determined that its U.S. and European businesses are reportable segments. The U.S. reportable segment includes the operating results of the Company's class action claims recoveries business, which are not material to the segment as a whole.
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO"). The primary profitability measure used by the CEO to evaluate performance and allocate resources is Income from operations excluding goodwill impairment, when applicable, and certain unallocated corporate expenses ("Adjusted segment operating income"). The Company does not report a measure of segment assets as that information is not regularly provided to the CEO. Intersegment and other intercompany transactions are executed on an arms-length basis. All prior period disclosures have been recast to reflect the reportable segment reorganization that occurred as of December 31, 2025.

Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
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. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The guidance 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 of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the related disclosures; however, it does not expect there will be a material impact upon adoption.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans" ("ASU 2025-08"), under which loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed "seasoned" will be considered purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company currently applies the PCD accounting model to the loans it acquires and is evaluating the impact this ASU could have on its Consolidated Financial Statements; however, it does not expect there will be a material impact upon adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements" ("ASU 2025-11"), which improves the guidance of Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by providing clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. This ASU provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods and adds a principle to Topic 270 requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the related disclosures.
All other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We are a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans. Most of our purchases are from credit originators who have chosen not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in collecting, the full balance owed to them ("Core" accounts). To a lesser extent, we also purchase loans in situations where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding ("Insolvency" accounts). As part of an ancillary business, we purchase and provide fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.
Our operations are organized on a geographic basis, and we have two reportable segments comprised of our U.S. and European businesses. On a significantly smaller scale, we also operate in South America, Canada and Australia. Subject to globally-established parameters for capital allocation, portfolio return thresholds and leverage, each market functions under a similar debt management business model, which is predicated on purchasing nonperforming loans and generating returns through disciplined collection strategies over extended collection periods.
For additional information about our business and reportable segments, refer to Part I, Item 1 "Business" of our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 13.
Third quarter and year-to-date business trends and results
During the third quarter of 2026, we continued to execute against our PRA 3.0 strategic plan, generating higher portfolio income and lower operating expenses while continuing to invest in our legal collections channel, technology modernization and other initiatives. We purchased $228.7 million in portfolios and collected $535.6 million during the quarter. Our results also included the following:
•Third quarter Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $14.9 million, an increase of $422.6 million compared to the prior year period, which included a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $412.6 million. Year-to-date Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $101.0 million, an increase of $462.7 million compared to the prior year period, which included a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $412.6 million.
•Third quarter Adjusted net income attributable to PRA of $14.9 million, a decrease of $6.0 million compared to the prior year period. Year-to-date Adjusted net income attributable to PRA of $101.0 million, an increase of $63.8 million compared to the prior year period ("Adjusted net income attributable to PRA" is a non-GAAP financial measure; refer to section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).
•Third quarter Cash efficiency and Adjusted cash efficiency ratios of 62.6%; an improvement of more than 200 basis points in the Adjusted cash efficiency ratio compared to the prior year period, which reflected workforce reductions, organizational simplification and other cost initiatives implemented as part of our PRA 3.0 strategy ("Adjusted cash efficiency ratio" is a non-GAAP financial measure; refer to section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).
•Continued geographic diversification, with the U.S. and Europe accounting for 40.0% and 54.8%, respectively, of September 30, 2026 total estimated remaining collections ("ERC") of $8.8 billion.
•Maintenance of a diversified capital structure, consistent with our targeted leverage and liquidity objectives. Subsequent to quarter-end, we issued $400.0 million of 8.500% senior notes due October 15, 2033, further extending our debt maturity profile (refer to Note 15).
Market environment
We observed heightened competition in the U.S. market, while credit card balances have remained elevated and charge-off rates continued to support portfolio supply. In Europe, portfolio supply continued to trend higher, and we expect that trend will continue into the fourth quarter. Consistent with our PRA 3.0 strategy, we remained focused on deploying capital globally where we see the most attractive net returns.

(1)Reflects portfolio purchases in South America, Canada and Australia.
We use a global investment framework to optimize the deployment of capital across our markets with a focus on net returns. Our total portfolio purchases in Q3 2026 decreased by $26.7 million, or 10.5%, compared to Q3 2025. Total purchases of $228.7 million in Q3 2026 reflected the allocation of a greater portion of our capital to Europe, where we observed better relative returns in select markets. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio purchases decreased by $147.5 million, or 16.5%, compared to the prior year period. The Q3 2026 and year-to-date 2026 purchase price multiples ("PPMs") for our global Core vintage were 1.94x and 1.97x, respectively. PPMs can vary due to factors contributing to the cost to collect, including the loan type and age, geography and collections strategy, in addition to competitive and market dynamics. Our focus continues to be on net returns, which considers the amount and timing of the projected cash collections, estimated costs to collect, funding costs, risk and agreement terms.
•U.S.: Q3 2026 portfolio purchases decreased by $42.2 million as pricing remained competitive and we remained disciplined in our purchasing and long-term approach focused on net returns. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio purchases decreased by $157.5 million compared to the prior year period. The Q3 2026 PPM for our U.S. Core vintage of 2.20x was an increase compared to the second quarter of 2026. The year-to-date 2026 PPM for our U.S. Core vintage was 2.10x.
•Europe: Q3 2026 portfolio purchases increased by $28.8 million as we continued to invest in portfolios that met our return requirements. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio purchases increased by $34.3 million compared to the prior year period. The Q3 2026 and year-to-date 2026 PPMs for our European Core vintage were 1.76x and 1.84x, respectively. The decrease in the Q3 2026 PPM reflected purchase of a higher mix of portfolios with a lower cost to collect.

Our total cash collections of $535.6 million in Q3 2026 were slightly above our expectations for the quarter and decreased by $6.6 million, or 1.2%, compared to Q3 2025, reflecting lower levels of portfolio purchases over the past 18 months, consistent with our focus on net returns. Year-to-date 2026 cash collections increased by $70.1 million, or 4.5%, compared to the prior year period.
•U.S.: Q3 2026 cash collections decreased by $4.6 million driven by a net decrease of $26.9 million from call center and other channels, partially offset by a $23.5 million increase in legal collections due to higher volume. Legal collections represented 58.2% of Core cash collections. Year-to-date 2026 cash collections increased by $39.0 million driven by an $84.4 million increase in legal collections, partially offset by a net decrease of $44.0 million from call center and other channels.
•Europe: Q3 2026 cash collections increased by $4.5 million driven by an increase of $9.6 million in Core collections distributed broadly across our markets, partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million in Insolvency collections. Year-to-date 2026 cash collections in Europe increased by $39.3 million driven by an increase of $52.0 million in Core collections, partially offset by a decrease of $12.7 million in Insolvency collections, and was due, in part, to favorable foreign exchange rate variation.

(1)Reflects portfolio revenue in South America, Canada and Australia.
Our total portfolio revenue in Q3 2026 decreased by $24.8 million, or 8.0%, compared to Q3 2025, driven by lower Changes in expected recoveries, which decreased by $37.1 million, partially offset by higher Portfolio income, which increased by $12.2 million. The decrease in Changes in expected recoveries reflected lower recoveries collected in excess of forecast and lower changes in expected future recoveries following the June 30, 2026 update to the forecasts for the majority of our European pools, which reflected sustained cash collections overperformance across multiple markets, among other factors. The increase in Portfolio income was driven primarily by recent portfolio purchases in Europe. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio revenue increased by $100.3 million, or 11.6%, compared to the prior year period, driven by higher Portfolio income, which increased by $57.7 million, and higher Changes in expected recoveries, which increased by $42.5 million. Portfolio income, the yield component of our revenue, which is more predictable than Changes in expected recoveries, increased by 4.7% for the quarter and 7.7% year-to-date.
•U.S.: Q3 2026 portfolio revenue decreased by $8.2 million due primarily to a decrease of $7.4 million in Changes in expected recoveries, reflecting lower net increases in the collections forecasts compared to the prior year period and net underperformance in Q3 2026 compared to net overperformance in Q3 2025. Q3 2026 Changes in expected recoveries were mainly impacted by an increase in the collections forecasts and the impact of timing adjustments on the 2024 and 2025 Core pools, partially offset by decreases in the collections forecasts on the 2021-2023 Core pools. Net underperformance in Q3 2026 was driven mainly by the 2021-2024 Core pools, partially offset by overperformance on the 2020 and earlier Core pools and the 2025 Core pool. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio revenue increased by $21.2 million due to increases of $15.3 million in Portfolio income and $5.9 million in Changes in expected recoveries. The increase in Portfolio income was due primarily to improved pricing. The increase in Changes in expected recoveries was due primarily to higher net overperformance, reflecting the absence of a one-time payment of $15.0 million to a seller in Q3 2025 to modify the terms and conditions of certain previously purchased portfolios, and a net decrease in the collections forecasts on certain U.S. Core pools in the prior year period.
•Europe: Q3 2026 portfolio revenue decreased by $7.2 million due to a decrease of $20.6 million in Changes in expected recoveries, partially offset by an increase of $13.5 million in Portfolio income. The decrease in Changes in expected recoveries was due to lower net overperformance and lower net increases in the collections forecasts compared to Q3 2025. Overperformance in Europe moderated following the update to the forecasts for the majority of our European pools as of June 30, 2026. The increase in Portfolio income was due primarily to higher recent purchasing in several markets. Year-to-date 2026 portfolio revenue increased by $115.3 million, due to increases of $79.1 million in Changes in expected recoveries, driven by the June 30, 2026 forecast updates, and $36.2 million in Portfolio income, due to higher recent purchasing and favorable foreign exchange rate variation.
•Other markets: Q3 2026 and year-to-date 2026 portfolio revenue decreased by $9.4 million and $36.3 million, respectively. The quarterly decrease reflected lower net overperformance and net decreases in the collections forecasts in Q3 2026 compared to net increases in Q3 2025. The year-to-date decrease reflected net decreases in the collections forecasts on certain pools within these markets.

Our Total operating expenses decreased by $426.3 million, or 68.0%, compared to Q3 2025. Year-to-date 2026 operating expenses decreased by $393.8 million, or 38.4%, compared to the prior year period. These decreases were due largely to the goodwill impairment charge of $412.6 million recognized in Q3 2025.
•U.S.: Q3 2026 operating expenses decreased by $25.9 million compared to Q3 2025 due primarily to $15.8 million of goodwill impairment allocated to the U.S. in Q3 2025 and an $8.8 million decrease in Compensation and benefits, driven by workforce reductions, organizational simplification and other cost initiatives implemented as part of our PRA 3.0 strategy; and to lower Professional and outside services. Year-to-date 2026 operating expenses decreased by $1.8 million due primarily to a decrease of $18.0 million in Compensation and benefits and the goodwill impairment allocated to the U.S. in 2025. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $26.8 million in Legal collection costs and $6.5 million in Legal collection fees, both associated with the expansion of activity in our legal collections channel.
•Europe: Q3 2026 operating expenses decreased by $359.4 million compared to Q3 2025 due largely to $361.2 million of goodwill impairment allocated to Europe in Q3 2025, partially offset by an increase in Legal collection costs. Year-to-date 2026 operating expenses decreased by $351.1 million due primarily to the goodwill impairment allocated to Europe in 2025, partially offset by increases in Legal collection costs; Other operating expenses, reflecting a value added tax reimbursement in the prior year period; Agency fees, reflecting higher outsourced collections; and Compensation and benefits.
•Other markets: Q3 2026 and year-to-date 2026 operating expenses decreased by $41.0 million and $40.8 million, respectively, due primarily to the goodwill impairment charge in Q3 2025.

Our Interest expense, net decreased by $0.3 million, or 0.4%, compared to Q3 2025. Year-to-date 2026 Interest expense, net increased by $4.3 million, or 2.3%, compared to the prior year period. Both periods reflect higher interest on senior notes following the issuance of our 2032 senior notes in September 2025, the proceeds of which were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. In Q3 2026, this increase was offset by lower interest on our revolving credit facilities and term loan, along with higher interest income. Year-to-date 2026, the increase in interest on our senior notes was partially offset by these same factors.

Income tax expense
Income tax expense and our effective tax rate were as follows (in thousands, except percentages): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Effective tax rate | 15.7 | % | | (6.4) | % | | | | | | | 27.6 | % | | (14.5) | % | | | | |
Our Income tax expense decreased by $20.9 million, or 85.8%, compared to Q3 2025, and our effective tax rate was 15.7% in Q3 2026 compared to (6.4)% in Q3 2025. Year-to-date 2026 Income tax expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 5.6%, and our year-to-date 2026 effective tax rate was 27.6% compared to (14.5)% in the prior year period. The negative effective tax rates in the prior year periods were due primarily to the impact of the goodwill impairment recognized in Q3 2025. The current year effective tax rates reflect the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items, including the reversal of a $3.2 million tax accrual during the first quarter of 2026. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026, reflects a decrease in the forecasted annual effective tax rate due to changes in the forecasted mix of income across jurisdictions.
Business segment operating income
Our CEO evaluates the profitability of our U.S. and European business segments based primarily on Income from operations excluding goodwill impairment, when applicable, and certain unallocated corporate expenses ("Adjusted segment operating income"). Refer to Note 13 for further information and a reconciliation of Adjusted segment operating income to consolidated Income before income taxes.

Consolidated balance sheet
Investments
Investments were $160.0 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $93.4 million compared to December 31, 2025. The increase reflects purchases of government securities and corporate notes by our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB, which is part of our European operations and is expected to continue to operate with similarly higher levels of liquidity moving forward.
Finance receivables, net
Finance receivables, net of $4.7 billion as of September 30, 2026, were stable compared to December 31, 2025. Compared to September 30, 2025, Finance receivables, net increased by $111.4 million, or 2.4%, due to portfolio purchases of $1.1 billion and Changes in expected recoveries of $219.0 million, partially offset by $1.1 billion of recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net, and foreign currency translation of $50.0 million.
Interest-bearing deposits
Interest-bearing deposits were $152.5 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $46.4 million compared to December 31, 2025. The increase reflects net deposit inflows at our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB, partially offset by foreign exchange rate variation.
Borrowings
Borrowings of $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2026, were stable compared to December 31, 2025, as net borrowings of $34.7 million under our revolving credit facilities were largely offset by the impact of foreign currency translation on our euro-denominated senior notes and principal payments of $7.5 million on our term loan. Compared to September 30, 2025, borrowings increased by $107.8 million, or 3.0%, due primarily to net borrowings under our UK and North American revolving credit facilities, partially offset by principal payments of $10.0 million on our term loan and the impact of foreign currency translation on our euro-denominated senior notes.
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 the non-GAAP financial measures referred to below, internally to evaluate our performance and set performance goals. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance, operational effectiveness and management of operating expenses and provide for greater comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled financial measures reported by other companies. Included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net income/(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.

Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE
Adjusted net income attributable to PRA is calculated as Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. excluding the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. Calculation of Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes those same items and, if dilutive based on Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, may also include the impact of additional potentially dilutive shares.
ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by Average tangible equity. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Adjusted net income attributable to PRA 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, a reconciliation of Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, and provides our ROE, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

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, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $139.1 million, of which $127.7 million was held by international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. For additional information about the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Borrowings
As of September 30, 2026, we had the following committed amounts, outstanding borrowings and availability under our financing arrangements (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(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, 2026, interest-bearing deposits totaled $152.5 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion ($219.9 million as of September 30, 2026).
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 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, 2026, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $438.5 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 $175.5 million in Europe, $247.3 million in the U.S. and $15.7 million in our other markets. 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.
Borrowings
As of September 30, 2026, we had $3.7 billion in outstanding borrowings. Our estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $251.7 million. With the exception of $2.5 million in quarterly principal payments on our North American term loan, as of September 30, 2026, principal payments on our borrowings have maturity dates ranging from February 2028 through September 2032. Our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
On October 2, 2026, the Company completed the private offering of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior notes due October 15, 2033. Refer to Note 15 for additional information.
For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5.
Share repurchases
On August 3, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The new share repurchase program replaces the Company's prior share repurchase program, which was terminated on August 3, 2026, and under which no additional shares can be repurchased. 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, applicable regulatory requirements and the restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes. The new share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
The amount and timing of any share repurchases under the new share repurchase program also depend on several other factors, including our capital allocation priorities; financial performance; leverage and liquidity levels; and the price of our common stock. As of September 30, 2026, we had $150.0 million remaining for share repurchases under the new program, subject to the restrictive covenants mentioned above.
Leases
Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one to approximately seven years. As of September 30, 2026, we had $27.3 million in lease liabilities, of which $6.1 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 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, 2026, we had $1.8 million of derivative liabilities, of which $0.6 million matures within the next 12 months and $1.1 million in 2028. For additional information, refer to Note 6.
Investments
As of September 30, 2026, we held $133.1 million in Swedish treasury securities and $25.7 million in Finnish corporate notes to meet liquidity requirements for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.
Cash flow analysis
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year-to-Date | | | | |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | $ Change | | |
| Net cash provided by/(used in): | | | | | | | |
| Operating activities | $ | (33,910) | | | $ | (75,622) | | | $ | 41,712 | | | |
| Investing activities | (13,746) | | | (16,975) | | | 3,229 | | | |
| Financing activities | 60,264 | | | 74,562 | | | (14,298) | | | |
| Effect of foreign exchange rates | 18,610 | | | 21,431 | | | (2,821) | | | |
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 31,218 | | | $ | 3,396 | | | $ | 27,822 | | | |
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 investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $41.7 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to higher cash collections recognized as income and lower cash paid for taxes, partially offset by higher cash paid for operating expenses.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $3.2 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios, increases in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net, and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, partially offset by an increase in purchases of investments and the impact of the proceeds received from the sale of our interest in RCB Investimentos S.A., a servicing company for nonperforming loans in Brazil, in the prior year period.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $14.3 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower net proceeds from credit lines and senior notes, partially offset by fluctuations in our interest-bearing deposits.
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 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 2025 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our business is primarily subject to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Our exposure to these risks, as described in Part II, Item 7A in the 2025 Form 10-K, has not changed materially.
Interest rate exposure
Of our $3.7 billion in total borrowings as of September 30, 2026, approximately $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 approximately four years, as of September 30, 2026, 60% of our total debt was either fixed rate or converted to a fixed rate. Based on our debt structure, assuming a 50 basis point decrease/increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease/increase by an estimated $7.9 million.
Foreign currency exposure
We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. During Q3 2026, our revenues from operations outside the U.S. were $135.9 million.
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, 2026, 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, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
