PRA GROUP INC

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:

•Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our performance and to set performance goals;

•Adjusted cash efficiency ratio, to monitor and evaluate operating expenses;

•ROATE, to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity; and

•Adjusted ROATE, to standardize ROATE across periods by eliminating certain nonrecurring transactions.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operational and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of our operational and financial performance, as it excludes certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business, and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss)/income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with our GAAP financial measure, Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and is adjusted for:

•income tax expense (or less income tax benefit);

•foreign exchange loss (or less foreign exchange gain);

•interest expense, net (or less interest income, net);

•other expense (or less other income);

•depreciation and amortization;

•impairment of real estate;

•goodwill impairment;

•net income attributable to noncontrolling interests;

•gain on sale of equity method investment; and

•recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net less Changes in expected recoveries.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(1)Other expense reflects non-operating activities.

Cash efficiency

We use an Adjusted cash efficiency ratio, which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, to monitor and evaluate operating expenses, excluding goodwill impairment, relative to our cash collections plus fees and revenue recognized from our class action claims recovery services. Management believes the Adjusted cash efficiency ratio is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating our management of operating expenses. The Adjusted cash efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing cash receipts less Adjusted operating expenses by cash receipts. The following table provides a reconciliation of Total operating expenses to Adjusted operating expenses and presents our Adjusted cash efficiency ratios for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

Return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity

We use ROATE, which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity. Management believes ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the effective use of equity, and is an important component of our long-term stockholder return. Average tangible equity is defined as average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. less average goodwill and average other intangible assets. ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.

ROATE may include certain items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating results of our business. Accordingly, management also uses Adjusted ROATE to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity. Management believes Adjusted ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors because it excludes the impact of certain transactions that are either unusual or infrequent in nature, or both. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. 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 and a reconciliation of Net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc., and presents our ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

SUPPLEMENTAL PERFORMANCE DATA

The tables in this section provide supplemental performance data about our:

•ERC by geography, portfolio type and expected year of collection;

•Core cash collections separated between call center and other collections and legal collections, and constant currency adjusted cash collections; and

•nonperforming loan portfolios and collections by geography, portfolio type and year of purchase.

The collections data presented reflects gross cash collections and does not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, it may not represent relative profitability. The past performance of pools within certain geographies and portfolio types may not be comparable with other locations and portfolio types or indicative of future results. Customer payment patterns in all of the countries in which we operate can be affected by various factors, including general business and economic conditions, seasonal employment trends, income tax refunds and holiday spending habits.

Purchasing

We purchase portfolios of nonperforming loans from a variety of creditors, or acquire portfolios through strategic acquisitions, and segregate them into our Core or Insolvency portfolios, based on the status of the account upon acquisition. In addition, the accounts are segregated into geographical regions based upon where the account was acquired and, as applicable, foreign currency exchange rates are fixed for purposes of comparability in future periods. Ultimately, accounts are aggregated into annual pools based on portfolio type, geography and year of acquisition. Portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of acquisition are represented under Insolvency headings in the tables below. All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included under Core headings. Once an account is initially segregated, it is not later transferred from an Insolvency pool to a Core pool, or vice versa.

Purchase price multiple

The purchase price multiple represents our estimate of total cash collections over the original purchase price of the portfolio. Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, age of the accounts acquired, type and mix of portfolios purchased, expected costs to collect and returns, and changes in operational efficiency and effectiveness. When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and effective interest rate are generally lower. Certain types of accounts, such as Insolvency accounts, have lower collection costs, and we generally pay more for those types of accounts, which results in lower purchase price multiples but similar net income margins compared to other portfolio purchases.

ERC and TEC

Depending on the level of performance and expected future impacts from our operations, we may update ERC and TEC levels based on the results of our cash forecasting with a correlating adjustment to the purchase price multiple. We follow an established process to evaluate ERC, and we typically do not adjust our ERC and TEC until we gain sufficient collection experience with a pool of accounts. Over time, our TEC has often increased as pools have aged resulting in the ratio of TEC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase.

For additional information about our nonperforming loan portfolios, refer to Note 2 toour Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

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, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $107.5 million, of which $96.3 million was held by international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. For additional information about the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

As of September 30, 2025, 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, 2025, interest-bearing deposits totaled $139.7 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion (the equivalent of $233.9 million in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2025).

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 or senior notes 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, 2025, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $297.8 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 $235.4 million for the Americas and Australia and $62.4 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 make spot purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $3.6 billion in outstanding borr owings. The estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $249.8 million. After 12 months, principal payments on our debt are due from between one and seven years. Our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants. On September 30, 2025, we completed the private offering of our 2032 senior notes.

For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Share repurchases

On February 25, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program has no stated expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and, subject to compliance with applicable laws, may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases are also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes.

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 and applicable regulatory requirements. There were no repurchases during the third quarter of 2025, and as of September 30, 2025, we had $57.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program, subject to the restrictive covenants discussed above.

Leases

Our leases have remaining terms from one to 7 years. As of September 30, 2025, we had $31.2 million in lease liabilities, of which $7.2 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 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, 2025, we had $9.1 million of derivative liabilities, of which $1.5 million matures within the next 12 months. The remaining$7.5 million matures in 2028 and later. For additional information, refer to Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Investments

As of September 30, 2025, we held $63.2 million in Swedish treasury securities to meet the liquidity requirements of the Swedish Financial Services Authority for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

Cash flow analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):

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 cash flows provided by investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased $61.9 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher cash collections recognized as income, partially offset by higher cash paid for interest and taxes.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $166.9 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $84.9 million in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios, an increase of $49.2 million in proceeds from sales and maturities of investments and an increase of $42.9 million in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $272.5 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a $441.6 million decrease in net proceeds from lines of credit and a $65.7 million decrease related to interest-bearing deposits activity, partially offset by a $250.0 million increase in net proceeds from the issuance and retirement of senior notes. Additionally, we repurchased $10.0 million of our common stock year-to-date 2025 compared to no repurchases during the prior year period.

Effect of foreign exchange rates

The net effect of exchange rates on cash increased $18.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies on our foreign currency denominated borrowings and intercompany balances.

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, goodwill 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 2024 Form 10-K.
