Previous wording
In Europe, our purchased defaulted debt portfolios primarily consist of credit card and consumer loan accounts. We purchase receivable portfolios using a proprietary pricing model that utilizes account-level statistical and behavioral data. This model generally allows us to value portfolios accurately and quantify portfolio performance in order to maximize future collections. As a result, we have generally been able to realize significant returns from the assets we have acquired. We maintain strong relationships with many of the largest financial services providers in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Previous wording
With lending reaching record levels and the highest U.S. charge-off rate in ten years, supply remains elevated at a record level. Issuers have continued to sell predominantly fresh portfolios. Fresh portfolios are portfolios that are generally sold within six months of the consumer’s account being charged-off by the financial institution. Pricing in the second quarter remained at favorable levels as a result of elevated market supply. Issuers continue to sell their volume in mostly forward flow arrangements that are often committed early in the calendar year. We believe steadying lending and delinquency rates will result in stable market supply.

In the United States, capital deployments increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The majority of our deployments in the U.S. come from forward flow agreements, and the timing, contract duration, and volumes for each contract can fluctuate leading to variation when comparing to prior periods. Portfolio purchases in the U.S. were robust as supply increased and pricing remained at favorable levels.

Previous wording
In Europe, capital deployment increased during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency translation effect resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound during the comparable periods. Capital deployment remained relatively consistent during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Pricing continues to remain competitive in Europe.
Current wording
In Europe, capital deployments increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Pricing continues to remain competitive in our European footprint; constraining the amount of capital we choose to deploy. Capital deployment in Europe increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Capital deployment can fluctuate based on the timing of the forward flow contracts and spot purchases. The increases in capital deployment were also partially driven by favorable foreign currency translation effect resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound during the comparable periods.

Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $108.3 million, or 19.8%, to $655.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $546.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $202.2 million, or 19.1%, to $1,259.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1,057.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in collections in the United States were primarily a result of consistent increases in capital deployments in the United States in recent periods. The increases in collections from purchased receivables in Europe were primarily driven by a combination of increases in capital deployments and acquisitions of portfolios with higher returns in recent periods. Additionally, collections in Europe were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $8.8 million and $6.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 5.5% and 2.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Current wording
Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $112.8 million, or 20.5%, to $663.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $550.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross collections from purchased receivables increased by $314.9 million, or 19.6%, to $1,922.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1,607.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increases in collections in the United States were primarily a result of consistent increases in capital deployments in the United States in recent periods. The increases in collections from purchased receivables in Europe were primarily driven by a combination of increases in capital deployments and acquisitions of portfolios with higher returns in recent periods. Additionally, collections in Europe were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $6.8 million and $13.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 3.5% and 2.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Previous wording
Our operating results are impacted by foreign currency translation, which represents the effect of translating operating results where the functional currency is different than our U.S. dollar reporting currency. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies has an unfavorable impact on our international revenues, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies has a favorable impact on our international revenues. Our revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $6.9 million and $5.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 5.5% and 2.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Our revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $5.2 million and $10.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 3.5% and 2.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Previous wording
The increases in revenue recognized from portfolio basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily due to a higher portfolio basis (i.e. a higher receivable portfolios balance) in the U.S. driven by a consistent higher volume of purchases in recent periods.

Previous wording
Recoveries above or below forecast represent over and under-performance in the reporting period, respectively, and are expected to vary from period to period. Collections during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, over-performed the forecasted collections by approximately $52.3 million and $79.2 million, respectively, primarily driven by collections over-performance in the U.S. resulting from enhanced collections strategies. Collections during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, over-performed the forecasted collections by approximately $27.4 million and $28.3 million, respectively.
Current wording
Recoveries above or below forecast represent over and under-performance in the reporting period, respectively, and are expected to vary from period to period. Collections during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, over-performed the forecasted collections by approximately $61.5 million and $140.7 million, respectively, primarily as a result of collections over-performance in the U.S. The collections over-performance in the U.S. was driven by the deployment of new technologies, enhanced digital capabilities and continued operational innovation, which enabled us to reach more consumers, leading to more payments as well as a larger payer book. These initiatives had a greater impact on the early stages of a portfolio’s lifecycle, leading to over-performance for our recent vintages. We expect that our collections forecasts will gradually adjust to reflect the positive impact of these initiatives. Collections during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, over-performed the forecasted collections by approximately $23.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively.
Previous wording
When reassessing the forecasts of expected lifetime recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2025, management considered, among other factors, historical and current collection performance, changes in consumer behavior, and the macroeconomic environment. The updated forecast resulted in changes in timing and amount of total estimated remaining collections which in turn, when discounted to present value, resulted in a net positive change in expected future recoveries of approximately $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This net positive change, combined with the net negative change recorded in the first quarter, resulted in a net negative change in expected future recoveries of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded approximately $21.7 million and $35.0 million in net negative change in expected future recoveries, respectively.
Current wording
When reassessing the forecasts of expected lifetime recoveries during the three months ended September 30, 2025, management considered, among other factors, historical and current collection performance, changes in consumer behavior, and the macroeconomic environment. The significant recoveries above forecast in recent periods were carefully evaluated. Management concluded that the recoveries above forecast were primarily current period collections over-performance and did not represent any material shift in timing of the collections. Therefore, the updated forecast did not result in a material change in expected future recoveries. We recorded a net positive change in expected future recoveries of approximately $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. This $2.2 million net positive change recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was offset by approximately $2.2 million net negative change recorded in the first half of fiscal year 2025 and as a result, the net change in expected future recoveries recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was negligible. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded approximately $10.3 million and $45.2 million in net negative change in expected future recoveries, respectively.

Our operating expenses were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation by approximately $5.0 million and $3.6 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound by approximately 5.5% and 2.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Collection agency commissions are commissions paid to third-party collection agencies. Collections through the collections agencies channel are predominately in Europe and vary from period to period depending on, among other things, the number of accounts placed with an agency versus accounts collected internally. Commission rates vary depending on, among other things, the amount of time that has passed since the charge-off of the accounts placed with an agency, the asset class, and the geographic location of the receivables. Generally, freshly charged-off accounts have a lower commission rate than accounts that have been charged off for a longer period of time, and commission rates for purchased bankruptcy portfolios are lower than the commission rates for charged-off credit card accounts. Collection agency commissions remained relatively consistent during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
