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, operational effectiveness and management of operating expenses 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.

Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE

Adjusted net income attributable to PRA is calculated as Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. excluding the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. Calculation of Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes those same items and, if dilutive based on Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, may also include the impact of additional potentially dilutive shares.

ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by Average tangible equity. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Adjusted net income attributable to PRA 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, a reconciliation of Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, and provides our ROE, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

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, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $139.1 million, of which $127.7 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 September 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 September 30, 2026, interest-bearing deposits totaled $152.5 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion ($219.9 million as of September 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 September 30, 2026, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $438.5 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 $175.5 million in Europe, $247.3 million in the U.S. and $15.7 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 September 30, 2026, we had $3.7 billion in outstanding borr owings. Our estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $251.7 million. With the exception of $2.5 million in quarterly principal payments on our North American term loan, as of September 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 September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.

On October 2, 2026, the Company completed the private offering of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior notes due October 15, 2033. Refer to Note 15 for additional information.

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

Share repurchases

On August 3, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The new share repurchase program replaces the Company's prior share repurchase program, which was terminated on August 3, 2026, and under which no additional shares can be repurchased. 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, applicable regulatory requirements and the restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes. The new share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

The amount and timing of any share repurchases under the new share repurchase program also depend on several other factors, including our capital allocation priorities; financial performance; leverage and liquidity levels; and the price of our common stock. As of September 30, 2026, we had $150.0 million remaining for share repurchases under the new program, subject to the restrictive covenants mentioned above.

Leases

Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one to approximately seven years. As of September 30, 2026, we had $27.3 million in lease liabilities, of which $6.1 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 September 30, 2026, we had $1.8 million of derivative liabilities, of which $0.6 million matures within the next 12 months and $1.1 million in 2028. For additional information, refer to Note 6.

Investments

As of September 30, 2026, we held $133.1 million in Swedish treasury securities and $25.7 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):

Effect of foreign exchange rates18,61021,431(2,821)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$31,218$3,396$27,822

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 $41.7 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 $3.2 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 $14.3 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower net proceeds from credit lines and senior notes, partially offset by fluctuations in our interest-bearing deposits.

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 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.
