"2024 was a transformational year reflecting decisive action and rigorous execution, which drove significantly improved results. We expanded our senior leadership team, delivered on our cash-generating and operational initiatives in the U.S., further differentiated our European platform, and strengthened our capital structure," said Vikram Atal, president and chief executive officer. "We achieved record portfolio purchases of $1.4 billion, up 22% year-over-year, as we continued to invest with discipline and capitalize on the strong portfolio supply in the U.S., with pricing remaining attractive globally. Cash collections of $1.9 billion represented 13% year-over-year growth, as we not only benefited from recent purchases but, just as importantly, extracted additional value from our existing portfolios. With strong topline growth and expense management, we achieved net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $70.6 million. The progress we have made over the last two years positions us to further optimize the platform, sustain profitable growth and drive shareholder value. As a result, we remain optimistic about the future and are updating our 2025 targets, including raising our portfolio purchases target to $1.2 billion."

• ~12% return on average tangible equity²

1.

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.

These targets exclude the impact of the Company exercising its right to sell its equity interest in RCB Investimentos S.A., the servicing company for the Company's nonperforming loans in Brazil.

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 Adjusted EBITDA, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (or loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense (or less income tax benefit); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense; plus depreciation and amortization; plus impairment of real estate; plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and plus recoveries collected and applied to finance receivables, net less changes in expected recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. 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. 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests					18	17

Adjusted EBITDA					$ 1,138	$ 1,007

In addition, the Company uses return on average tangible equity ("ROATE"), which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, 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.

The following table displays the Company's ROATE and provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to average tangible equity for the years indicated (amounts in thousands, except for ratio data):
