When we purchase portfolios with credit deterioration, we find that our expertise in evaluating and managing charged-off accounts allows us to confidently manage such portfolios with a higher level of credit risk than a buyer without that level of expertise would be comfortable. In such instances, a portfolio may include a mix of loans that are delinquent and restructured as well as a significant amount of charged-off or nonperforming loans, as was the case with the Conn’s Portfolio, and with a high level of risk that more of the current loans will become delinquent over time and eventually need to be charged-off.

Previous wording

We believe that smaller competitors continue to face difficulties in the portfolio purchasing market because of the high cost to operate due to regulatory pressure, issuers’ selectiveness with buyers and lack of consistent access to capital. We believe these operational costs favor larger participants, such as us, because the larger market participants are better able to adapt to these pressures and commit to larger purchases and forward flow agreements.

Current wording

Creditors sell their volume in a mix of forward flow arrangements and competitive bid transactions. Sales levels are expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with portfolio pricing remaining competitive. We believe that smaller competitors continue to face difficulties in the portfolio purchasing market because of the high cost to operate due to regulatory pressure, issuers’ selectiveness with buyers and lack of consistent access to capital. We believe these operational costs favor larger participants, such as us, because the larger market participants are better able to adapt to these pressures and commit to larger purchases and forward flow agreements.

Previous wording

The average purchase price, as a percentage of face value, varies from period to period depending on, among other factors, the type and quality of the accounts purchased and the length of time from charge-off to the time we purchase the portfolios. For example, the average purchase price as a percentage of face value is higher for newly charged-off portfolios as compared to more seasoned portfolios because newly charged-off portfolios generally have higher liquidation rates. Similarly, portfolios consisting of paying accounts tend to have a higher purchase price relative to face value than non-paying accounts due to the higher expectations for collections, as well as lower anticipated collection costs. As a result, in periods that we purchase a higher percentage of newly charged-off assets or paying portfolios, we expect that our purchase price as a percentage of face value would be higher than would be in periods where a higher ratio of seasoned paper or non-paying portfolios were purchased. The Company’s average purchase price, as a percentage of face value, increased during the period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily related to portfolio mix.

For a majority of the portfolios we purchase, when we acquire them, we apply our charge-off policy and fully write off the amortized costs of the individual receivables we acquire immediately after purchasing the portfolio. We then record a negative allowance that represents the present value of all expected future recoveries for pools of receivables that share similar risk characteristics using a discounted cash flow approach, which is presented as “investments in previously charged-off receivables, net” on our combined and condensed consolidated balance sheet. The discount rate is a purchase EIR established based on the purchase price of the portfolio and the expected future cash flows at the time of purchase. From time to time, we will also purchase performing portfolios for a discount, where we will apply the interest method and accrete the discount.

Net debt is calculated as total borrowings, adjusted to remove the contra-liability for unamortized debt issuance costs and subtract unrestricted cash. We present net debt because we consider it an important supplemental measure used for assessing our leverage. Our management believes net debt helps us provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of leverage and is useful to investors as other companies in our industry report similar financial measures. Net debt should not be considered as an alternative to total borrowings determined in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of net debt may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
