"I am highly encouraged by the scope and intensity of our initiatives to optimize our U.S. business, which expanded and accelerated through the third quarter," said Vikram Atal, president and chief executive officer. "Total portfolio purchases of $311 million in the quarter were up 70% year-over-year, representing one of the highest buying quarters in our history, and were accompanied by improved pricing that reflects current market conditions. Cash collections exceeded expectations, led by operational results in Brazil and Europe, as well as modest overperformance in the U.S. In addition, operating expenses remained carefully controlled. These developments, alongside the tailwind of a continuation of increased portfolio supply in the U.S. and our strong and diversified positioning across markets in Europe, provide a strong framework to deliver significantly improved results in 2024."

- Total cash collections in Q3 2023 increased 1.8% (or decreased 1.1% on a constant currency-adjusted basis) to $419.6 million compared to $412.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 ("Q3 2022"). The increase was primarily due to an increase in collections in Brazil and Europe. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash collections decreased $87.2 million compared to the same period last year.
- Total portfolio revenue in Q3 2023 was $212.1 million compared to $234.2 million in Q3 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total portfolio revenue was $568.9 million compared to $722.2 million in the same period last year due to lower portfolio purchases in 2021 and 2022.
Expenses
- Operating expenses in Q3 2023 decreased by $0.6 million, or 0.4%, to $173.4 million compared to $174.0 million in Q3 2022. This included a $5.0 million non-cash impairment charge associated with the Company's previously announced decision to cease call center operations at one of its owned regional offices in the U.S. Excluding this non-cash impairment charge, operating expenses would have been $168.4 million.
- For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating expenses increased by $9.0 million to $526.2 million, compared to $517.2 million in the same period last year.
- The effective tax benefit rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 20.1%.
Portfolio Acquisitions
- The Company purchased $311.2 million in portfolios of nonperforming loans in Q3 2023, an increase of 69.9% compared to Q3 2022.
- At the end of Q3 2023, the Company had in place maximum forward flow commitments1 of up to $538.0 million, comprised of $356.4 million in the Americas and Australia and $181.6 million in Europe.
1. |
Contractual agreements with sellers of nonperforming loans that allow for the purchase of nonperforming portfolios at pre-established prices. These amounts are based on sellers' estimates of future forward flow sales and are dependent on actual delivery compared to these estimates. Accordingly, amounts purchased under these agreements may vary and are often less than the maximum amounts. |

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 impairment of real estate; 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 net income, 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, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
