"It has now been just over 100 days since I have stepped into the CEO role, and my focus has been on accelerating what is working well and tackling areas of our business that need to be improved," said Martin Sjolund, president and chief executive officer. "During this time, we achieved significant progress against our strategic priorities for the U.S. business that we shared last quarter, including driving cost efficiency, reorganizing our U.S. operations, creating a new talent hub, bringing our headquarters corporate and support staff back to the office, and developing our IT modernization roadmap. I am very pleased with how the team has responded and how fast we have been executing against these priorities."

"Q3 represented another step forward for PRA and our ability to create value for our stakeholders. Cash collections grew 14% year-over-year, reflecting recent purchases, the continued strong performance of our European business, and growing momentum in our U.S. operational initiatives. In particular, we have been ramping up our investments in the U.S. legal collections channel, which led to a 27% increase in U.S. legal cash collections for the quarter."

"During the quarter, we recorded a non-recurring, non-cash impairment charge of goodwill related to our Debt Buying and Collection reporting unit. This unit's goodwill was primarily attributed to a European acquisition we made in 2014. The Q3 impairment test was triggered by a sustained decline in our stock price. The impairment charge had no impact on our operations, portfolio valuations, or ERC, and I would like to point out that our European business outperformed our cash collections expectations by 11% year-to-date, and it continues to perform strongly. Overall, we are heading in the right direction and are focused on continuing to improve the financial performance of our business."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense; plus foreign exchange loss; plus interest expense, net; plus other expense; plus depreciation and amortization; plus impairment of real estate; plus goodwill impairment; plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; less gain on sale of equity method investment; and plus recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net less Changes in expected recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operational and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of the Company's 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 the Company's 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 attributable to PRA Group, Inc. determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net (loss)/income attributable to PRA Group, Inc., the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM) ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company uses 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 ("Adjusted operating expenses"), relative to 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 the Company's 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 the Company's Adjusted cash efficiency ratios for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

In addition, the Company uses return on average tangible equity ("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 its 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 the Company's business. Accordingly, the Company also uses Adjusted ROATE to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to the Company's equity. Management believes that 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 net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc."). 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 provides the Company's ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):
