(3) Changes in expected recoveries

The Company develops its estimates of expected recoveries by applying discounted cash flow methodologies to its estimated remaining collections and recognizes income over the estimated life of the pool at the constant effective interest rate of the pool. For additional information about these methodologies, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Changes in expected recoveries	$	65,747	$	7,573	$	73,320	$	17,798	$	3,338	$	21,136

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $ 73.3 million, which included $ 54.3 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance), due mainly to collections performance in the U.S., driven in large part by the Company's cash-generating initiatives, coupled with collections performance in Europe. Changes in expected future recoveries of $ 19.1 million mainly reflect the Company's assessment of certain pools in the U.S. and Europe, resulting in an increase to the expected cash flows based primarily on overperformance in recent periods. The increase in expected cash flows was driven in large part by forecast increases to the 2013 to 2019 U.S. Core pools, as well as increases to a number of pools in Europe.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were a net positive $ 21.1 million. This included $ 25.3 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance) and a $ 4.2 million negative adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. The $ 25.3 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast was largely due to overperformance generated from larger than expected one-time payments in Europe and performance on new vintages in South America.

Changes in expected recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024						2023

Changes in expected recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $ 125.0 million, which included $ 90.1 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast, due mainly to collections performance in the U.S., driven in large part by the Company's cash-generating initiatives, coupled with collections performance in Brazil and Europe. Changes in expected future recoveries of $ 34.9 million mainly reflect the Company's assessment of certain pools in the U.S. and Europe, resulting in an increase to the expected cash flows based primarily on overperformance in recent periods. The increase in expected cash flows was driven in large part by forecast increases to the 2013 to 2019 U.S. Core pools, as well as increases to a number of pools in Europe.

Changes in expected recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were a net negative $ 15.8 million. This included $ 29.2 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance), primarily due to strong performance in Europe and South America, and a $ 45.0 million negative adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. The changes in expected future recoveries reflect the Company's assessment of certain pools, which resulted in a reduction of expected cash flows due to collections performance in U.S. call centers resulting from weaker economic conditions.

7. Fair Value:

As defined by ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the consideration of different input levels in the determination of fair value, as follows:

• Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

• Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value were as follows (amounts in thousands):


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	118,865	$	118,865	$	112,528	$	112,528

(1) Carrying amounts and estimated fair values do not include debt issuance costs.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the above financial instruments:

Cash equivalents: Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and the observable quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Finance receivables, net: The Company estimates the fair value of these receivables using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio acquisition decisions. Accordingly, the Company's fair value estimates use Level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates.

Interest-bearing deposits: Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Revolving lines of credit: Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimate.

Term loan: Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimate.

Senior Notes: Fair value estimates for the Senior Notes incorporate quoted market prices obtained from secondary market broker quotes, which were derived from a variety of inputs, including client orders, information from their pricing vendors, modeling software and actual trading prices when they occur. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the above financial instruments:

Government securities: Fair value of the Company's investments in government securities is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.

Derivative contracts: Fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using industry standard valuation models. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and other factors. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

9. Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing net 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 of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of nonvested shares is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the vesting of nonvested shares would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.

The following tables provide a reconciliation between the computation of basic and diluted EPS f or the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2024					2023

10. 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 June 30, 2024, the minimum purchase obligation under these 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 and proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company initiates lawsuits against customers and is occasionally countersued by them in such actions. Also, customers, either individually, as members of a class action, or through a governmental entity on behalf of customers, may initiate litigation against the Company in which they allege that the Company has violated a law in the process of collecting on an account. From time-to-time, other types of lawsuits are brought against the Company. Additionally, the Company receives subpoenas and other requests or demands for information from regulators or governmental authorities who are investigating the Company's debt collection activities.

The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account the Company's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages),

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the number of unresolved issues in many of the proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings. In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claim, the Company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter's current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could exceed the current estimate.

In certain legal proceedings, the Company may have recourse to insurance or third-party contractual indemnities to cover all or portions of its litigation expenses, judgments, or settlements. Loss estimates and accruals for potential liability related to legal proceedings are typically exclusive of potential recoveries, if any, under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities.

The Company believes that the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued for its legal proceedings outstanding as of June 30, 2024, where the range of loss can be estimated, was not material. As of June 30, 2024, there were no material developments in the legal proceedings included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K, and there were no new material legal proceedings during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

11. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which, among other updates, requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires enhanced annual disclosures with respect to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating both ASU 2023-07 and ASU 2023-09 to determine the impacts on its disclosures.

Executive Overview

We are a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. We are headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, and our shares of common stock are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "PRAA".


For the second quarter of 2024, we generated:						Year-to-date June 30, 2024, we generated:
• Total portfolio purchases of $379.4 million.						• Total portfolio purchases of $625.2 million.
• Total cash collections of $473.9 million.						• Total cash collections of $923.4 million.
• Cash efficiency ratio of 58.9%.						• Cash efficiency ratio of 58.4%.
• Diluted earnings per share of $0.54.						• Diluted earnings per share of $0.63.
• ERC of $6.8 billion as of June 30, 2024.

With continued focus on our strategic roadmap - optimizing investments, driving operational execution and managing expenses - we took another important step in demonstrating the turnaround of our U.S. business in the second quarter of 2024, delivering against our financial and operational targets for the year and positioning the Company for future growth.

Total portfolio purchases of $379.4 million during the quarter represented our third-highest quarterly level of purchases over the past five years. Cash collections increased 13.0% compared to the second quarter of 2023, reflecting higher recent purchasing levels and the positive impact of cash-generating initiatives in the U.S., as well as continued collections growth in our European business.

Looking ahead, we expect portfolio purchases to remain strong through the remainder of the year and cash collections to sustain the growth rate observed during the first half of 2024. We also expect that cash efficiency for the year will be approximately 60%, as our strategies driving operational improvements and effectiveness are partially offset by the investments in our legal collections channel.

Americas

In the U.S., we continued to capitalize on strong levels of portfolio supply, driven by higher industry credit card balances and rising delinquency and charge-off rates, with U.S. portfolio purchases reaching $206.8 million for the quarter. Although certain customer segments appear to be experiencing stress from high interest rates and inflation, we have seen significant growth in the number of committed payment plans from our customer base. In our U.S. call centers, we made significant enhancements to our operating processes during the quarter, and in the legal collections channel, we have leveraged our internal resources and expanded the use of external resources to generate incremental cash collections. To support increased buying in the U.S., we have expanded our call center staffing, focusing on offshoring initiatives to counter the expense impact, and more than 25% of collectors supporting our U.S. business are now based offshore. In Brazil, we have continued to leverage our partnerships in the market to invest in a significant amount of portfolios, realizing solid rates of return on our investments.

Europe

In Europe, strong supply in the spot market led to a record amount of second quarter purchases, spanning all of our major markets, and since Europe is primarily a spot-driven market, volumes are dependent on seller strategies and timing. Although the consumer environment in Europe reflects some of the same economic factors as the U.S., we are also experiencing some positive trends, with the proportion of paying customers remaining stable and larger payments in certain markets starting to show signs of improvement. We also just marked the 10-year anniversary of our acquisition of Aktiv Capital A.S. in 2014, which elevated the Company from a primarily U.S.-based organization to a global enterprise with a diverse European footprint.

(1) Cash collections adjusted refers to prior year period foreign currency cash collections remeasured at average U.S. dollar exchange rates for the current year period.

Cash collections were $473.9 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $54.6 million, or 13.0%, compared to $419.3 million in Q2 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in U.S. Core cash collections of $42.4 million, mainly due to the impact of higher recent purchasing levels and our cash-generating initiatives, particularly in the legal collections channel. Also contributing to the increase were increased cash collections in Europe of $11.0 million, primarily due to higher recent purchasing levels.

Year-to-date cash collections increased by $92.8 million, or 11.2%, reflecting an increase of $63.6 million in U.S. Core cash collections and higher cash collections in Europe and Brazil of $20.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The increase in cash collections was primarily due to the same factors impacting the second quarter comparison as described above.

Portfolio Revenue

Total portfolio revenue was as follows for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):


	Second Quarter								Year-to-Date
	2024		2023		$ Change		% Change		2024		2023		$ Change		% Change
Portfolio income	$	209,290	$	184,290	$	25,000	13.6	%	$	411,346	$	372,532	$	38,814	10.4	%
Changes in expected recoveries	73,320		21,136		52,184		246.9		124,994		(15,776)		140,770		892.3
Total portfolio revenue	$	282,610	$	205,426	$	77,184	37.6	%	$	536,340	$	356,756	$	179,584	50.3	%

Total portfolio revenue was $282.6 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $77.2 million, or 37.6%, compared to $205.4 million in Q2 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $52.2 million in changes in expected recoveries, driven mainly by cash collections overperformance in the U.S., driven in large part by our cash-generating initiatives, including higher legal collections, as well as cash collections overperformance in Europe. Furthermore, in the U.S. and Europe, based primarily on overperformance in recent periods, there was a net increase to the ERC of certain pools in Q2 2024 compared to a net decrease in Q2 2023. The increase of $25.0 million in portfolio income was primarily due to the impact of higher purchasing and improved pricing in the U.S. and Europe beginning in 2023.

Year-to-date portfolio revenue increased by $179.6 million, or 50.3%, primarily due to an increase of $140.8 million in changes in expected recoveries, driven mainly by a net increase to the ERC of certain pools in the U.S., Europe and Brazil compared to a net decrease in the prior year period, as well as cash collections overperformance in the U.S. and Europe. The $38.8 million increase in portfolio income was primarily due to the impact of higher purchasing and improved pricing in the U.S. and Europe beginning in 2023.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were as follows for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):


	Second Quarter								Year-to-Date
	2024		2023		$ Change		% Change		2024		2023		$ Change		% Change

Compensation and employee services

Q2 2024 compensation and employee services expense increased $8.4 million, or 12.8%, mainly reflecting lower compensation accruals in Q2 2023. The Q2 2024 expense is comparable to the two most recent quarters and reflects our leveraging of third parties and offshore call centers to help offset the costs associated with a significant increase in account volumes and customer contacts. The 2024 year-to-date expense was largely consistent with the prior year period, decreasing by $0.4 million.

Legal collection fees

Legal collection fees represent contingent fees incurred for cash collections generated by our third-party attorney network. Q2 2024 fees increased $4.2 million, or 44.1%, mainly reflecting higher external legal collections within our U.S. Core portfolio. Increased external legal collections in the U.S. were also the primary driver of the $7.5 million, or 40.7%, increase for the year-to-date period.

Legal collection costs

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. Q2 2024 costs increased $13.8 million, or 63.9%, primarily due to increased activity in our U.S. legal collections channel, as well as the expansion of legal collection activities in Europe. The growth in legal collections activity also drove the $16.5 million, or 36.3%, increase for the year-to-date period.

Agency fees

Agency fees primarily represent third-party collection fees. Q2 2024 fees increased $3.3 million, or 18.8%, mainly reflecting higher fees paid on collections in Brazil. Collection fees in Brazil were also the primary driver of the $5.7 million, or 16.2%, increase for the year-to-date period.

Communication

Communication expense relates mainly to correspondence, network and calling costs associated with our cash-generating initiatives. An expansion in account volumes drove both the Q2 2024 increase of $1.5 million, or 14.4%, and the $3.5 million, or 17.0%, increase for the year-to-date period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was as follows for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

Interest income	(2,404)		(4,694)		2,290		(48.8)		(4,483)		(8,768)		4,285		(48.9)
Interest expense, net	$	55,353	$	43,022	$	12,331	28.7	%	$	107,631	$	81,305	$	26,326	32.4	%

Interest expense, net was $55.4 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $12.4 million, or 28.8%, compared to $43.0 million in Q2 2023. Interest expense, net increased by $26.3 million, or 32.3%, for the year-to-date period. The main drivers of the increases in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods were higher average debt balances and increased interest rates.

Income Tax Expense/(Benefit)

Income tax expense was $8.7 million in Q2 2024 compared to $1.6 million in Q2 2023. In Q2 2024, our effective tax rate was 25.7% compared to 57.6% in Q2 2023. Year-to-date income tax expense was $11.1 million in 2024 compared to a tax benefit of $17.1 million in the prior year period. The 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was 23.1% compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 24.5% in the prior year period. Higher income before taxes drove increased income tax expense in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods, and the effective tax rate comparison was impacted by higher income before taxes in the current year periods, as well as changes in the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items.

Balance Sheet

Finance receivables, net

Finance receivables, net were $3.8 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $163.6 million, or 4.5%, compared to $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2023. Portfolio acquisitions of $625.2 million and changes in expected recoveries of $125.0 million were partially offset by recoveries applied to the negative allowance of $520.9 million.

Compared to June 30, 2023, finance receivables, net increased by $395.6 million, resulting from portfolio acquisitions of $1.2 billion and changes in expected recoveries of $169.9 million, partially offset by recoveries applied to the negative allowance of $974.0 million.

Borrowings

Borrowings were $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $199.5 million, or 6.8%, compared to $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2023. Net proceeds of $395.9 million from the issuance of our Senior Notes due 2030 ("2030 Notes") were partially offset by a net reduction of $189.1 million in the amount drawn under our revolving credit facilities.

Compared to June 30, 2023, borrowings increased by $374.1 million. This was primarily due to net proceeds of $395.9 million from the issuance of our 2030 Notes, partially offset by a net reduction of $13.7 million in the amount drawn under our revolving credit facilities.

Supplemental Performance Data

Finance Receivables Portfolio Performance

We purchase portfolios of nonperforming loans from a variety of credit originators, or acquire portfolios through strategic acquisitions, and segregate them into two main portfolio segments: Core or Insolvency, 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. Ultimately, accounts are aggregated into annual pools based on portfolio segment, geography and year of acquisition. Portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of acquisition are represented in the Insolvency tables below. All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included in our Core portfolio tables as represented below. Once an account is initially segregated, it is not later transferred from an Insolvency pool to a Core pool, or vice versa, and the account continues to be accounted for as originally segregated regardless of any future changes in operational status. Specifically, if a Core account files for bankruptcy or insolvency protection after acquisition, we adjust our collection practices to comply with any respective bankruptcy or insolvency rules or policies; however, for accounting purposes, the account remains in the Core pool. In the event an Insolvency account is dismissed from its bankruptcy or insolvency status whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we are typically free to pursue alternative collection activities; however, the account remains in the Insolvency pool.

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, paper type, age of the accounts acquired, mix of portfolios purchased, costs to collect, expected returns and changes in operational efficiency. For example, increased pricing due to elevated levels of competition or supply constraints negatively impacts purchase price multiples as we pay more to buy similar portfolios of nonperforming loans.

Further, there is an inverse relationship between the price we pay for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and the effective interest rate of the pool. When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and effective interest rates are generally lower. The opposite tends to occur when we pay less for a portfolio. Certain types of accounts have lower collection costs, and we generally pay more for these types of accounts, resulting in a lower purchase price multiple but similar net income margins when compared with other portfolio purchases. Within a given portfolio type, when lower purchase price multiples are the result of more competitive pricing, this generally leads to lower profitability. As portfolio pricing becomes more favorable, our profitability will tend to increase. Profitability within given Core portfolio types may also be impacted by the age and quality of the accounts, which impact the cost to collect those accounts. Fresher accounts, for example, typically carry lower associated collection costs, while older accounts and lower balance accounts typically carry higher costs and, as a result, require higher purchase price multiples to achieve the same net profitability as fresher paper.

Revenue recognition is driven by estimates of the amount and timing of future cash collections. We record new portfolio acquisitions at the purchase price, which reflects the amount we expect to collect discounted at an effective interest rate. During the year of acquisition, portfolios are aggregated into annual pools, and the blended effective interest rate will change to reflect new buying and new cash flow estimates until the end of the year. At that time, the purchase price amount is fixed at the aggregated amounts paid to acquire the portfolio, the effective interest rate is fixed at the amount we expect to collect, discounted at the rate to equate purchase price to the recovery estimate, and the currency rates are fixed for purposes of comparability in future periods. 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.

The numbers presented in the following tables represent gross cash collections and do not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, they may not represent relative profitability. Due to all of the factors described above, readers should be cautious when making comparisons of purchase price multiples among periods and between types of categories of portfolio segments and related geographies.

(4) Other accounts are 480 days or more past due, charged-off and have previously been worked by three or more contingent fee servicers.

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:

• adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals; and

• return on average tangible equity ("ROATE"), as a measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to the Company's equity.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of operations and financial performance. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of operations 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 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 income/(loss) 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;

• net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and

• recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries.

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

Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,065,186	$	1,006,998

(1) Other expense reflects non-operating activities.

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 the Company's 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 shareholder return. Average tangible equity ("ATE") 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 income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by ATE.

The following table displays our ROATE and provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to ATE for the periods indicated (amounts 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 June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $118.9 million, of which $103.1 million consisted of cash on hand related to 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 2023 Form 10-K.

Borrowings. As of June 30, 2024, we had the following committed amounts, borrowings and availability under our credit facilities (amounts in thousands):

(1) Available borrowings after calculation of borrowing base, 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.

For additional details about our credit facilities, term loan and senior notes, see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Interest-bearing deposits. As of June 30, 2024, interest-bearing deposits totaled $115.0 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion (the equivalent of $207.5 million in U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2024).

Furthermore, we have the ability to slow the purchase of nonperforming loans and to use the net cash flow generated from cash collections on our portfolio of existing nonperforming loans to temporarily service our debt and fund existing operat ions.

Uses of Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements

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, 2024, we have forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $385.6 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 $272.1 million for the Americas and Australia and $113.5 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 flow sales, and are dependent on actual delivery by the sellers. 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.

Borrowings . As of June 30, 2024, we had $3.1 billion in outstanding borr owings. The estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $223.8 million, of which $10.0 million rel ates to principal on our term loan. After 12 months, principal payments on our debt are due from between one and six years. Many of our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of June 30, 2024, we determined that we were in compliance with these covenants.

We intend to borrow $298.0 million under our North American revolving credit agreement on or about September 1, 2024 to redeem our Senior Notes due 2025, which, all other effects being equal, would cause a corresponding decrease to the availability under our credit facilities.

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 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. Repurchases are also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes. There were no repurchases during the second quarter of 2024, and as of June 30, 2024, we had $67.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program.

Leases. Our leases have remaining terms from one to 12 years. As of June 30, 2024, we had $46.7 million in lease liabilities, of which $9.2 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information about our leases, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 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, 2024 , we h ad $5.9 million of de rivative liabilities , of which $0.5 million matures within one year . The remaining $5.4 million matures in 2028 . For additional information, see Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements i ncluded in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Investments. As of June 30, 2024, we held $47.9 million in Swedish treasury securities to meet the liquidity requirements of the Swedish Financial Services Authority for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

We believe that funds generated from operations and cash collections on nonperforming loan portfolios, 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 during the next 12 months and beyond. Market conditions permitting, we may seek to access the debt or equity capital markets as we deem appropriate. Business acquisitions or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing from other sources. We may also, from time-to-time, repurchase senior notes in the open market or otherwise.

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for 2024 year-to-date compared to the prior year period (amounts in thousands):


	Year-to-Date
	2024		2023		$ Change
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	(102,488)	$	(80,839)	$	(21,649)
Investing activities	(96,195)		(93,967)		(2,228)
Financing activities	203,826		208,496		(4,670)
Effect of exchange rate on cash	1,082		6,216		(5,134)
Net increase/(decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	6,225	$	39,906	$	(33,681)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities mainly reflects cash collections recognized as revenue and cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. To calculate net cash used in operating activities, net income/(loss) was adjusted for (i) non-cash items included in net income such as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains/(losses), changes in expected recoveries, depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes, fair value changes in equity securities, and stock-based compensation, as well as (ii) changes in the balances of operating assets and liabilities, which can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of payments.

Cash used in operating activities was $102.5 million 2024 year-to-date compared to $80.8 million in the prior year period. Higher cash paid for interest and operating expenses was partially offset by higher cash collections recognized as income and a lower impact from foreign currency transactions.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $2.2 million compared to the prior year period. An increase of $65.6 million in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios was partially offset by an increase of $57.0 million in recoveries applied to the negative allowance and a $7.2 million increase in net cash flow from purchases and disposals of investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $4.7 million compared to the prior year period. A net decrease of $8.1 million in proceeds from lines of credit and senior notes and a $16.2 million increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests were partially offset by a $14.9 million increase in interest-bearing deposits.

In Q2 2024, we repaid $395.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under our North American revolving credit agreement with the net proceeds from the issuance of our 2030 Notes . For additional details about these transactions, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

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. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, refer to Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

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. We have determined that the following accounting policies involve critical estimates:

Revenue Recognition - Finance Receivables

Revenue recognition for finance receivables involves the use of estimates and the exercise of judgment on the part of management. These estimates include projections of the amount and timing of cash collections we expect to receive from our pools of accounts. We review individual pools for trends, actual performance versus projections and curve shape (a graphical depiction of the amount and timing of cash collections). We then project ERC and apply a discounted cash flow methodology to our ERC. Adjustments to ERC may include adjustments reflecting recent collection trends, our view of current and future economic conditions, changes in collection assumptions or other timing related adjustments.

Significant changes in our cash flow estimates could result in increased or decreased revenue as we immediately recognize the discounted value of such changes using the constant effective interest rate of the pool. Generally, adjustments to cash forecasts result in an adjustment to revenue at an amount less than the impact of the performance in the period due to the

effects of discounting. Additionally, cash collection forecast increases will result in more revenue being recognized and cash collection forecast decreases in less revenue being recognized over the life of the pool.

Goodwill

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), we evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1, and more frequently if circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.

We determine the fair value of a reporting unit by applying approaches prescribed under ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures": the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and a residual terminal value. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of a variety of factors, including growth rates and operating margins, which take into consideration industry and market conditions. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market trading multiples and other relevant market transactions involving comparable publicly traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to the reporting unit. Depending on the availability of public data and suitable comparable transaction data, we may give more weight to the income approach than the market approach. We also assess the reasonableness of the aggregate estimated fair value of our reporting units by comparison to our market capitalization over a reasonable period, considering historic control premiums in the financial services industry and the current market environment.

As of June 30, 2024, we had goodwill of $415.6 million, consisting primarily of $388.8 million in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit. We performed our most recent annual review of the DBC reporting unit as of October 1, 2023, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

As of June 30, 2024 , our quarterly impairment 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 deteriorate, including adverse changes in the debt sales market that impact our estimated purchasing volumes and purchase price multiples, and/or an increase in the discount rate. For additional information, refer to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" of the 2023 Form 10-K.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous international jurisdictions. The tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. When determining our domestic and non-U.S. income tax expense, we make judgments about the application of these inherently complex laws.

We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is estimated using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled.

We exercise significant judgment in estimating the potential exposure to unresolved tax matters and apply a more likely than not standard for recording tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in the application of complex tax laws. While actual results could vary, we believe we have adequate tax accruals with respect to the ultimate outcome of such unresolved tax matters. We record interest and penalties related to unresolved tax matters as a component of income tax expense when the more likely than not standards are not met.

If all or part of the deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, we would establish a valuation allowance and charge the impact to earnings in the period such a determination is made. If we subsequently realize deferred tax assets that were previously determined to be unrealizable, the respective valuation allowance would be reversed, resulting in a positive adjustment to earnings. The establishment or release of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the use of loss carryforwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. For further information regarding our uncertain tax positions, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our business is subject to various financial risks, including market, currency, interest rate, credit, liquidity and cash flow risk. We use various strategies, including derivative financial instruments, to manage these risks; however, they can still impact our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We do not utilize derivative financial instruments with a level of complexity or with a risk greater than the exposure to be managed, nor do we enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of non-performance, or credit risk. We do not believe that we currently face a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these instruments, as these transactions were executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment-grade credit ratings. Our intention is to spread our counterparty credit risk across a number of counterparties so that exposure to a single counterparty is mitigated.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk from borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities, as well as our interest-bearing deposits. As such, our consolidated financial results are subject to fluctuations due to changes in market interest rates. To reduce our exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, we have entered into interest rate derivative contracts to hedge a portion of our borrowings under floating rate financing arrangements. Under the terms of the interest rate derivatives, we receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. Of our $3.1 billion in total borrowings as of June 30, 2024, $1.4 billion was fixed rate debt. Considering these fixed rate borrowings and the interest rate hedges on our variable rate debt, with maturities ranging from six months to four years, as of June 30, 2024, 70% of our total debt was either fixed rate or converted to a fixed rate.

We assess interest rate risk by estimating the increase or decrease in interest expense that would occur due to a change in short-term interest rates. Borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities were $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2024, and based on our debt structure, assuming a 50 basis point decrease/increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease/increase by an estimated $4.9 million.

Currency Exchange Risk

We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. Our subsidiaries use multiple functional currencies, and weakness in one particular currency might be offset by strength in other currencies over time. During Q2 2024, our revenues from operations outside the U.S. were $131.4 million.

Fluctuations in foreign currencies could cause us to incur foreign currency gains and losses, and could affect our comprehensive income and stockholders' equity. Additionally, our reported financial results could change from period-to-period due solely to fluctuations between currencies. Foreign currency gains and losses are primarily the result of the remeasurement of transactions in other currencies into an entity's functional currency. Foreign currency gains and losses are included as a component of Other income and (expense) in our Consolidated Income Statements. From time-to-time, we may elect to enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to reduce these variations in our Consolidated Income Statements.

When an entity's functional currency is different than the reporting currency of its parent, foreign currency translation adjustments may occur. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of Other comprehensive income/(loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and as a component of Equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have taken measures to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We have organized our European operations so that portfolio ownership and collections generally occur within the same entity. Additionally, our European and UK credit facilities are multi-currency facilities, allowing us to better match funding and portfolio acquisitions by currency. We actively monitor the value of our finance receivables by currency. In the event adjustments are required to our liability composition by currency, we may, from time-to-time, execute re-balancing foreign exchange contracts to more closely align funding and portfolio acquisitions by currency.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
