Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 the non-GAAP financial measures referred to below, internally to evaluate our performance and set performance goals. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance and operational effectiveness and provide for greater comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled financial measures reported by other companies. Included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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 June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $132.4 million, of which $119.1 million was held by international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. For additional information about the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026, interest-bearing deposits totaled $100.5 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion ($226.8 million as of June 30, 2026).

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 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 June 30, 2026, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $218.7 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 $117.3 million in Europe, $86.1 million in the U.S. and $15.4 million in our other markets. 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.

As of June 30, 2026, we had $3.8 billion in outstanding borr owings. Our estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $247.7 million. With the exception of $2.5 million in quarterly principal payments on our North American term loan, as of June 30, 2026, principal payments on our borrowings have maturity dates ranging from February 2028 through September 2032. Our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.

We amended and extended our European revolving credit facility on April 30, 2026, resulting in the extension of the maturity date from November 23, 2027 to April 30, 2031; the reduction of the maximum ERC ratio (as defined in the agreement) from 45.0% to 40.0%; and, subject to certain conditions, the ability of the borrowers to make investments in, or loans to, joint ventures up to an aggregate amount of €100 million.

For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5.

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; does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares; remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors; is subject to compliance with applicable laws; and 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. Our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program on August 3, 2026. For additional information, refer to Note 15.

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. During the second quarter of 2026, we repurchased 587,642 shares of our common stock at an average price of $17.02 for a total of $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, we had $27.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program, subject to the restrictive covenants mentioned above.

Leases

Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one to approximately seven years. As of June 30, 2026, we had $30.7 million in lease liabilities, of which $6.6 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 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 June 30, 2026, we had $8.0 million of derivative liabilities, of which $3.5 million matures within the next 12 months and $4.4 million in 2028. For additional information, refer to Note 6.

Investments

As of June 30, 2026, we held $117.6 million in Swedish treasury securities and $26.5 million in Finnish corporate notes to meet liquidity requirements for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

Cash flow analysis

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

Year-to-Date
20262025$ Change
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities$(11,344)$(65,490)$54,146
Investing activities(31,510)(33,408)1,898

Effect of foreign exchange rates14,79620,885(6,089)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$27,036$27,887$(851)

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 investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $54.1 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to higher cash collections recognized as income and lower cash paid for taxes, partially offset by higher cash paid for operating expenses.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.9 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios, increases in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net, and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, partially offset by an increase in purchases of investments and the impact of the proceeds received from the sale of our interest in RCB Investimentos S.A., a servicing company for nonperforming loans in Brazil, in the prior year period.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $50.8 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower net proceeds from credit lines and higher levels of stock repurchases, partially offset by the activity in our interest-bearing deposit customer accounts and lower levels of noncontrolling interest distributions.

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 2025 Form 10-K.
