Financial highlights
Current report
With continued focus on disciplined portfolio purchasing, in the second quarter of 2025 we purchased $346.5 million of finance receivables at attractive purchase price multiples and recorded a 19.9% increase in portfolio income over the same quarter last year. Under the direction of our new Chief Executive Officer, Martin Sjolund, we plan to continue the transformation of our U.S. business by focusing on our three strategic pillars – optimizing investments, operational execution, and managing expenses.
Current report
As of June 30, 2025, estimated remaining collections of $8.3 billion represented an increase of 11.2% compared to December 31, 2024 and 21.9% compared to June 30, 2024, with $4.1 billion related to the Americas and Australia and $4.2 billion to Europe.
Current report
Operating expenses of $202.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 represented an increase of 3.9% compared to the second quarter of 2024. For the year-to-date period, operating expenses were $397.6 million, an increase of 3.5% over the prior year's period.
Current report
During the second quarter, we completed the previously announced sale of our 11.7% interest in RCB Investimentos S.A. ("RCB"), a servicing company for nonperforming loans in Brazil, for a pre-tax gain on the sale of $38.4 million. The proceeds were used for portfolio purchases and general corporate needs. The sale does not impact our ownership of existing portfolio investments in Brazil, nor our existing operations or future portfolio investments in Brazil.

Total portfolio purchases were $346.5 million in Q2 2025, a decrease of $32.9 million, or 8.7%, compared to $379.4 million in Q2 2024. Europe portfolio purchases decreased $6.8 million and Americas and Australia portfolio purchases decreased $26.1 million.
Current report
Compensation and benefits
Current report
Compensation and benefits expense was $75.7 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to Q2 2024. Year-to-date compensation and benefits expense increased $1.2 million, or 0.8%, compared to the 2024 period. The increases were primarily due to higher non-collector wage costs in the current year periods, partially offset by a decrease in our collector compensation as we continue to leverage third parties and offshore call centers.
Current report
Professional and outside services expense includes expenses related to third-party service providers and corporate legal activities. Q2 2025 expense increased $2.9 million, or 16.3%, compared to Q2 2024, primarily due to increased investment in call center offshoring to provide greater operating flexibility. Year-to-date 2025 expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 2.3%, compared to 2024, mainly reflecting lower legal expenses and consulting fees in the U.S., partially offset by increased investment in call center offshoring.

ROATE may include certain items that are not indicative of the operating results of our portfolios of nonperforming loans. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors because it excludes the impact of gains/losses that are not indicative of the operating results of our portfolios of nonperforming loans.

Previous report
With continued focus on disciplined buying, higher cash generation and cost management, the first quarter of 2025 reflected significant growth in portfolio purchases, double-digit cash collections growth and attainment of record ERC. Cash collections overperformance in our European and South American businesses was partially offset by collections underperformance in the U.S., and combined with a moderated level of Changes in expected recoveries, Q1 2025 net income was lower compared to recent quarters. Similar to previous quarters, approximately half of our Q1 2025 cash collections were generated from outside the U.S., and we believe that a key part of the resiliency of our business continues to be our global diversification.

U.S.
Previous report
In the U.S., we purchased $161.0 million of portfolios during Q1 2025, and we expect portfolio supply to remain at elevated levels in 2025. U.S. Core cash collections increased 19.7% to $240.5 million in Q1 2025, driven by higher recent purchasing levels and the impact of our cash-generating initiatives, but were below our expectations. We remain focused on reducing cycle times and optimizing post-judgment activities in our legal collections channel, and together with higher recent purchasing levels, these actions helped drive U.S. legal collections of $111.2 million, a 32.6% increase compared to Q1 2024.
Previous report
In our U.S. non-legal operations, we enhanced our customer reach and engagement, implemented new dialer strategies, improved offer strategies to accommodate customer needs and experienced a significant increase in our digital interactions.

Total portfolio purchases were $291.7 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $45.9 million, or 18.7%, compared to $245.8 million in Q1 2024.

Our portfolio purchases reflect our global framework that seeks to optimize our deployment of capital to achieve appropriate returns and take advantage of opportunities in our markets.
Current wording
Total year-to-date portfolio purchases were $638.2 million in 2025, an increase of $13.0 million, or 2.1%, compared to $625.2 million in 2024.

Previous wording
Total cash collections were $497.4 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $47.9 million, or 10.7%, compared to $449.5 million in Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in U.S. Core cash collections of $39.6 million, mainly due to higher volumes in our legal collections channel, as well as an increase in collections from our non-legal channels due to higher recent purchasing levels. In Europe, higher recent purchasing levels helped drive increased cash collections of $18.1 million, spread broadly across most of our markets. These increases were partially offset by a $10.6 million decrease in cash collections in Brazil, due in large part to variation in the foreign exchange rate and lower recent purchasing levels.
Current wording
Total cash collections were $536.3 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $62.4 million, or 13.2%, compared to $473.9 million in Q2 2024.

Portfolio income increased $38.9 million, or 19.3%, driven largely by the impact of higher purchasing and improved pricing in the U.S. beginning in 2023, while changes in expected recoveries decreased $23.8 million. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast decreased $19.3 million due primarily to cash collections underperformance on our 2019-2023 U.S. Core pools in Q1 2025, compared to overperformance on most U.S. Core pools in Q1 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher cash collections overperformance on our European pools. Changes in expected future recoveries decreased $4.4 million due largely to a lower net increase in the collections forecast on our Americas pools compared to Q1 2024.
Current wording
Total portfolio revenue was $284.2 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, or 0.6%, compared to $282.6 million in Q2 2024.

This decrease was partially offset by higher overperformance on our European pools. Changes in expected future recoveries decreased $26.1 million due largely to a decrease to the collections forecast on the 2023 U.S. Core pool.
Previous wording
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. Q1 2025 costs increased $6.7 million, or 25.1%, compared to Q1 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our U.S. legal collections channel.

Q2 2025 legal collection costs increased $2.3 million, or 6.5%, compared to Q2 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our U.S. legal collections channel. The growth of legal collections activity in the U.S. also drove the $9.0 million, or 14.5%, increase for the year-to-date 2025 period.
Previous wording
Legal collection fees represent contingent fees incurred for cash collections generated by our third-party attorney network. Q1 2025 fees increased $3.1 million, or 25.7%, compared to Q1 2024, mainly reflecting higher external legal collections within our U.S. Core portfolio.

Q2 2025 communication expense decreased $2.2 million, or 18.7%, compared to Q2 2024, primarily due to a mix of lower-cost communications strategies utilized in our U.S. business. The use of lower-cost communications strategies utilized in our U.S. business was also primarily responsible for the decrease of $4.3 million, or 17.6% in the year-to-date 2025 period.
Previous wording
Interest expense, net was $61.0 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $8.7 million, or 16.6%, compared to Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to a higher average debt balance in the current year period to support higher levels of portfolio investments.
Current wording
Interest expense, net was $62.4 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $7.0 million, or 12.7%, compared to Q2 2024. Year-to-date 2025 interest expense, net increased 14.6% to $123.3 million.

Finance receivables, net were $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $167.6 million, or 4.0%, compared to $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2024, driven largely by portfolio acquisitions of $291.7 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $113.1 million, partially offset by recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net of $265.1 million.
Current wording
Finance receivables, net were $4.6 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $421.8 million, or 10.2%, compared to $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2024, driven largely by portfolio acquisitions of $638.2 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $277.1 million, partially offset by recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net of $554.7 million.

Goodwill was $420.7 million as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $24.3 million, or 6.1%, compared to $396.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due to foreign currency translation adjustments. As of March 31, 2025, goodwill consists primarily of $393.8 million in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit. We performed our most recent annual impairment review of the DBC reporting unit as of October 1, 2024, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As of March 31, 2025, our quarterly assessment did not identify the occurrence of any triggering events, and we determined our goodwill was not more-likely-than-not impaired. However, consistent with our most recent annual review, the DBC reporting unit may be at-risk for future impairment if our cash flow projections are not met or if market factors utilized in the impairment test were to deteriorate, including adverse changes in the debt sales market that impact our estimated purchasing volumes and purchase price multiples, an increase in the discount rate, or a sustained decline in our stock price.
Current wording
Goodwill was $439.4 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $43.1 million, or 10.9%, compared to $396.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due to foreign currency translation adjustments. As of June 30, 2025, goodwill consisted primarily of $412.6 million in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit. We performed our most recent annual impairment review of the DBC reporting unit as of October 1, 2024, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As of June 30, 2025, we did not identify the occurrence of any triggering events requiring us to perform an interim assessment of goodwill. However, consistent with our most recent annual assessment, the goodwill in our DBC reporting unit may be at-risk for future impairment. If our stock price does not return to higher levels on a sustained basis, this market indicator could be a triggering event indicating possible impairment. Additionally, if our cash flow projections are not met or if other market factors utilized in the impairment test were to deteriorate, including adverse changes in the debt sales market that impact our estimated purchasing volumes and purchase price multiples and an increase in the discount rate, this reporting unit could become impaired.
Previous wording
Borrowings were $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $139.5 million, or 4.2%, compared to $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to incremental net borrowings under our North American and European revolving credit facilities of $102.0 million and $59.4 million, respectively, offset by net payments of $20.1 million on our United Kingdom ("UK") revolving credit facility.
Current wording
Borrowings were $3.6 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $287.6 million, or 8.6%, compared to $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $347.0 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 $258.0 million for the Americas and Australia and $89.0 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 close on spot purchase transactions.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $311.2 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 $210.6 million for the Americas and Australia and $100.5 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 close on spot purchase transactions.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Total year-to-date cash collections were $1.03 billion in 2025, an increase of $110.3 million, or 11.9%, compared to $923.4 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in U.S. and Europe Core cash collections mainly due to higher recent purchasing levels. U.S. Core collections increased $80.5 million. Europe Core collections increased $47.4 million, spread broadly across most of our markets. These increases were partially offset by an $18.8 million decrease in cash collections in Brazil, due in large part to variation in the foreign exchange rate and lower recent purchasing levels.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Total year-to-date portfolio revenue was $553.1 million in 2025, an increase of $16.8 million, or 3.1%, compared to $536.3 million in 2024. Portfolio income increased $80.5 million, or 19.6%, driven largely by the impact of higher purchasing and improved pricing in the U.S. beginning in 2023, while changes in expected recoveries decreased $63.8 million. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast decreased $33.3 million due primarily to lower overperformance in 2025 on most U.S. Core pools compared to 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher overperformance on our European pools. Changes in expected future recoveries decreased $30.5 million due largely to decreases to our collections forecasts on certain U.S. Core pools.
