$58 Million Net Income Driven by $349 Million Increase in Europe ERC Following Comprehensive European Portfolio Review and Strong Long-Term Performance

Continued to Deliver on Significant Execution Milestones Under PRA 3.0 Strategy, Including Additional Cost Reductions, Call Center Footprint Consolidation and Technology Modernization

Repurchased $10 Million of Shares During the Quarter; Board of Directors Authorized New Share Repurchase Program for up to $150 Million

NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PRA Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRAA) (the "Company"), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026 ("Q2 2026").

Q2 2026 Highlights (vs. Q2 2025)

Total cash collections of $559 million, up 4%.
Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $58 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.51.
Estimated remaining collections (ERC)¹ of $8.9 billion, up 7%.
Adjusted EBITDA² of $1.4 billion, up 10%.
Cash efficiency ratio³ of 61%.
Total portfolio purchases of $297 million, in line with expectations.

1.	Refers to the sum of all future projected cash collections on the Company's nonperforming loan portfolios.
2.	For the 12 months ended June 30, 2026. A reconciliation of net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA can be found at the end of this press release.
3.	Calculated by dividing cash receipts less operating expenses by cash receipts. Cash receipts refers to cash collections on the Company's nonperforming loan portfolios, fees and revenue recognized from the Company's class action claims recovery services.

"We continued to execute against our PRA 3.0 strategy during the second quarter to drive higher returns and long-term shareholder value," said Martin Sjolund, president and chief executive officer. "We generated continued growth in cash collections, maintained strong cash efficiency, invested nearly $300 million in portfolio purchases, and delivered higher earnings. We also performed a comprehensive review of our European portfolios as part of our quarterly portfolio assessment. This review resulted in an approximately $349 million increase in European ERC, reflecting more than six years of sustained cash overperformance in Europe, as well as enhancements to our analytical processes and forecasting capabilities. We believe this is an important milestone that better aligns our European ERC with the long trend of historical overperformance of the European portfolios. As a result of this change, we expect higher levels of portfolio income going forward and more moderate levels of changes in expected recoveries over the long-term."

"We also achieved a number of important execution milestones during the quarter. We continued reducing costs and simplifying the organization, further consolidated our U.S. call center footprint, expanded our AI capabilities, and maintained a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Our teams are moving with pace and rigor across all three vectors of our PRA 3.0 strategy, and we are beginning to see the benefits of these actions reflected in our financial results through record ERC levels, growing adjusted EBITDA, and a strong funding profile. We remain focused on improving financial performance, further strengthening the balance sheet, and delivering long-term value for shareholders."

The Company purchased $297 million in portfolios of nonperforming loans in Q2 2026, as it continues to be disciplined with its investments and return thresholds.
At the end of Q2 2026, the Company had in place estimated forward flow commitments² of $219 million over the next 12 months, comprised of $117 million in Europe, $86 million in the U.S., and $15 million in other markets.

Reflects total portfolio purchases in South America, Canada and Australia.

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

Credit Availability

Total availability under the Company's credit facilities as of June 30, 2026 was $998 million, comprised of $733 million based on current ERC and subject to debt covenants, and $265 million of additional availability subject to borrowing base and debt covenants, including advance rates.

Share Repurchases

During Q2 2026, the Company repurchased $10 million of its outstanding common stock.
On August 3, 2026, the Company's board of directors authorized a new $150 million program.

The new share repurchase program has no stated expiration date and repurchases may be made through open market purchases or other available means at the Company's discretion, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. The amount and timing of share repurchases depend on several factors, including the Company's capital allocation priorities, financial performance, market conditions, valuation, leverage, liquidity, and the terms of its existing debt agreements. The new share repurchase program remains subject to the discretion of the Company's board of directors.

"We continue to maintain a disciplined capital allocation framework that prioritizes portfolio purchases at attractive returns and investments that enhance our operating performance, while also undertaking opportunistic share repurchases when we see an opportunity to drive value for our shareholders," said Rakesh Sehgal, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "This new share repurchase program provides additional flexibility in how we deploy capital and reflects our commitment to long-term shareholder value."

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 the non-GAAP financial measures referred to below, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operational and financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net loss attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus Income tax expense; less Foreign exchange gain; 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. 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.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net loss attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM) ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Adjusted net income attributable to PRA, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE

The Company uses Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. excluding the impact of certain transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature and not reflective of our ongoing operations ("Adjusted net income attributable to PRA") to monitor and evaluate our operating performance and allow for better comparability. Management believes Adjusted net income attributable to PRA is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating our operating results.

Adjusted net income attributable to PRA is calculated as Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. excluding the impact of certain transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature and not reflective of our ongoing operations.

In addition, the Company uses return on average tangible equity ("ROATE") 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 shareholder return. ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. less average goodwill and average other intangible assets ("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 is based on Adjusted net income attributable to PRA. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Adjusted net income attributable to PRA by average tangible equity. Return on equity ("ROE") is calculated by dividing Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc.

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 attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc., and provides our ROE, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):
