"PRA made significant progress in 2025. Since stepping into the CEO role in June, we have further strengthened our U.S. operational platform, built on the track record of our European franchise, and developed our longer-term strategy and key financial goals," said Martin Sjolund, president and chief executive officer. "In the U.S., we successfully executed against our near-term strategic priorities, including driving cost savings, reorganizing our operations, creating a new talent hub, and implementing our IT modernization roadmap."

"Our adjusted non-GAAP results demonstrate a stable earnings platform, underpinned by a strong and well-diversified capital structure with moderate leverage that has declined in recent quarters. During the fourth quarter, we repurchased $10 million of our shares, bringing the total amount repurchased in 2025 to $20 million, in line with our capital allocation strategy to drive shareholder value."

"Overall, we are moving in the right direction as we continue to improve our financial profile and focus on delivering higher returns while reducing leverage. Looking ahead, we are introducing our PRA 3.0 strategy to evolve the Company into a high-performing, technology-enabled global allocator of capital. We believe that the actions we are taking will drive stronger financial results and unlock meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."

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. Included below are reconciliations of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the corresponding non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures included below should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures included below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled financial measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (or loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense (or less income tax benefit); less foreign exchange gain (or 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. 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 and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Adjusted Cash Efficiency Ratio

The Company uses an adjusted cash efficiency ratio 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 years indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to PRA, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, ROATE and Adjusted ROATE

We use Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and Diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of certain transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature and not reflective of our ongoing operations ("Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA" and "Adjusted diluted earnings per share", respectively) to monitor and evaluate our operating performance and allow for better comparability. Management believes Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful financial measures for investors in evaluating our operating results.

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. 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 Net income/(loss) 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 is based on Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA. Adjusted ROATE is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA by average tangible equity.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. to average tangible equity and a reconciliation of Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. to Adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to PRA and provides the Company's ROATE and Adjusted ROATE for the years indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):
