NORFOLK, Va., May 9, 2022 - PRA Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRAA), a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. The Company reported net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $40.0 million in the first quarter, compared with $58.4 million in the prior year period.

First Quarter Highlights

•Total cash collections were $481.0 million.

•Total revenues were $240.6 million.

•Cash efficiency ratio1 of 65.1%.

•Diluted earnings per share were $0.97.

•Common stock repurchases2 of $39.5 million, or 0.9 million shares, at an average price of $45.88.

•At March 31, 2022, $127.7 million remaining under share repurchase authorization.

•Debt to Adjusted EBITDA3 for the last 12 months was 1.94x.

•Total portfolio purchases of $147.5 million.

•Estimated remaining collections (ERC) of $5.7 billion.

In the interim, we will continue to maintain our discipline and look for alternative ways to provide value to our shareholders."

•Cash collections in the quarter decreased $74.9 million, or $67.8 million on a currency adjusted basis, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This was driven by a decrease in U.S. call center and other collections of 27% and a 14% decrease in U.S. legal collections. The decrease in U.S. cash collections was due to the excess consumer liquidity in 2021 and lower levels of portfolio purchases during the pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by a 1% increase in Europe cash collections, 6% on a currency adjusted basis, driven by high levels of portfolio purchases in the last few years.

•Total portfolio revenue in the quarter was $237.4 million compared to $281.8 million during the first quarter of 2021.

Expenses

•Operating expenses in the quarter decreased $10.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by:

◦a decrease in legal collection costs due to fewer accounts in the legal channel;

◦a decrease in compensation and employee services expenses primarily due to lower collector compensation expenses in the U.S. call centers; and

◦a decrease in legal collection fees due to lower external legal cash collections.

•The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 11.7%, reflecting discrete items in the quarter.

Portfolio Acquisitions

•The Company purchased $147.5 million in portfolios of nonperforming loans in the first quarter of 2022.

•At the end of the first quarter, the Company had in place maximum forward flow commitments of up to $618.9 million with $366.3 million in the Americas and Australia and $252.6 million in Europe.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PRA Group, Inc. reports 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 March 31, 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.

Foreign exchange losses/(gains)	1		1

Adjustment for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	4		12

Recoveries applied to negative allowance less Changes in expected recoveries	958		988
Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,309	$	1,378

Additionally, management evaluates the Company's business using certain ratios that use Adjusted EBITDA, including Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated by dividing borrowings by Adjusted EBITDA. The following table reflects our Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for LTM as of March 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (amounts in millions):


Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
	LTM		For the Year Ended

Borrowings	$	2,539	$	2,609
LTM Adjusted EBITDA	1,309		1,378
