    "The third quarter was another solid quarter for PRA Group, driven once again by the performance of our European operations" said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "We continued to outperform our expectations. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. credit card balances now exceed 2019 levels, while delinquency and charge-off rates are continuing to tick up, especially for card issuers that cater to non-prime consumers. This strengthens our conviction that more supply will enter the U.S. market in the coming months. As more of these economic signs point to meaningful supply increases in the near future, we intend to remain disciplined in our underwriting and portfolio purchases, leveraging our deep experience, strong balance sheet and geographic diversity to generate the best possible risk-adjusted returns."

    • Total cash collections in Q3 2022 decreased 15.6%, or 10.7% on a constant currency-adjusted basis, to $412.3 million compared to $488.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 ("Q3 2021"). The decrease was driven primarily by a 29.3% decrease in U.S. call center and other collections, which was due to lower levels of portfolio purchases. Europe cash collections decreased by 11.2%; however, on a currency adjusted basis, they increased by 4.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total cash collections decreased $250.7 million compared to the same period last year.
    • Total portfolio revenue in Q3 2022 was $234.2 million compared to $256.7 million in Q3 2021.

    Expenses

    • Operating expenses in Q3 2022 decreased by $12.1 million, or 6.5%, compared to Q3 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by:
      • a 16.4% decrease in outside fees and services; and
      • a 5.6% decrease in compensation and employee services expenses primarily due to the level and timing of compensation accruals in the prior year and lower collector compensation expenses in the U.S. call centers.
    • For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, operating expenses decreased $29.1 million to $517.2 million compared to $546.2 million in the same period last year.
    • The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 22.8%.

    Portfolio Acquisitions

    • The Company purchased $183.1 million in portfolios of nonperforming loans in Q3 2022.
    • At the end of Q3 2022, the Company had in place maximum forward flow commitments1 of up to $1.0 billion, comprised of $427.4 million in the Americas and Australia and $607.2 million in Europe.

    1. Contractual agreements with sellers of nonperforming loans that allow for the purchase of nonperforming portfolios at pre-established prices.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    PRA Group, Inc. 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 income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense; less foreign exchange gain (or plus foreign exchange loss); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense (or less other income); plus depreciation and amortization; plus adjustment for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and plus recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. PRA Group, Inc. presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of operations and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of operations and financial performance 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. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM) ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
