Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

Changes in expected recoveries$44,730$6,628$51,358$55,992$4,622$60,614

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 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $185.6 million, which included $124.3 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 $61.4 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.

Balance as of end of period$26,871$423,011$26,871$423,011

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.

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.

Note 9. 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, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Three Months Ended September 30,
2025 · 2024

Dilutive effect of nonvested share awards——142(0.01)
Diluted EPS$(361,670)39,316$(9.20)$52,14539,495$1.32

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 ofperformance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. For thethree 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,
2025202420252024
(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
