Diluted earnings per share $ (0.10) $ 0.91 $ (1.60) $ 1.88

“The second quarter was an important and positive step in the right direction, as we remain focused on driving organic growth, optimizing business processes, and further capitalizing on the increase in the supply of portfolios with improved pricing,” said Vikram Atal, president and chief executive officer. "Cash collections exceeded our internal expectations, primarily driven by the strength of our European operations. During the quarter, we purchased $328 million of portfolios globally, which represents a record amount for a second quarter in the Company's history. The recent improvements in U.S. supply, pricing, and returns have enabled us to gradually increase our investment levels in that market, while investments in Europe remain healthy. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we have the funding capacity to continue growing ERC. Overall, we believe we are laying the foundation for a stronger, profitable, and higher performing PRA."

•Total cash collections in Q2 2023 decreased 5.6% (or 5.1% on a constant currency-adjusted basis) to $419.3 million, compared to $444.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 ("Q2 2022"). The decrease was primarily due to a 23.9% decrease in U.S. call center and other collections. This decrease was partially offset by a 58.6% increase in Other Americas and Australia Core cash collections. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash collections decreased $94.4 million compared to the same period last year.

Expenses

•Operating expenses in Q2 2023 decreased by $10.9 million, or 6.2%, compared to Q2 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by:

◦a $9.2 million decrease in outside fees and services, primarily due to higher corporate legal expenses in the prior year; and

◦an $8.3 million decrease in compensation and employee services, primarily due to lower compensation accruals and lower healthcare expenses compared to the prior year.

•This decrease was partially offset by:

◦a $3.8 million increase in legal collection costs; and

◦a $2.9 million increase in agency fees, driven by higher cash collections in South America

•For the six months ended June 30, 2023, operating expenses increased by $9.6 million to $352.8 million, compared to $343.2 million in the same period last year.

•The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 24.5%.

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 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 June 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
LTM For the Year Ended
Adjusted EBITDA for PRA Group ($ in millions) June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. $ (22) $ 117

Adjusted EBITDA $ 993 $ 1,107

Additionally, the Company evaluates its business using certain ratios that use Adjusted EBITDA. Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing borrowings by Adjusted EBITDA. The following table reflects the Company's Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the LTM as of June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 ($ in millions):
