Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Business

As used herein, the terms "PRA Group," the "Company," or similar terms refer to PRA Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Nature of operations

PRA Group, Inc. is a specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and incorporated in Delaware. The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of nonperforming loan portfolios. Most of the Company's purchases are from credit originators who have chosen not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in collecting, the full balance owed to them ("Core" accounts). To a lesser extent, it also purchases loans in situations where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding ("Insolvency" accounts). The Company's principal markets are the United States (“U.S.”) and Europe, and on a significantly smaller scale, it also operates in South America, Canada and Australia. As part of an ancillary business, the Company purchases and provides fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PRA Group and other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed, and realized results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K").

Prior period reclassifications

In the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026						2025
	Core		Insolvency		Total		Core		Insolvency		Total
Recoveries collected in excess of forecast	$	19,192	$	3,506	$	22,698	$	14,290	$	2,210	$	16,500

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $43.9 million, which included $22.7 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast and a $21.2 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were due primarily to cash collections overperformance in Europe, and to a lesser extent, in South America and the U.S. Changes in expected future recoveries were based on the Company's forecasting models and evaluations of recent performance and were due largely to an increase in the collections forecasts of certain European pools. In the U.S., the impact of an increase in the collections forecast for the 2024 Core pool was partially offset by a decrease in the forecast for the 2023 Core pool and the impact of changes in the expected timing of collections for the 2025 Core pool.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $27.9 million, which included $16.5 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast and $11.4 million in changes in expected future recoveries. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were largely due to cash collections overperformance in Europe and South America, partially offset by underperformance in the U.S. Changes in expected future recoveries were primarily due to the impact of an increase in the collections forecasts on certain U.S. Core and European pools.

Note 6. Derivatives

The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt (cash flow hedges) and foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates (economic hedges).

The line-items and fair values for these instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Interest rate swaps (designated as hedging instruments)
Prepaid expenses and other assets	$	6,528	$	2,190
Other liabilities	3,642		10,323
Foreign exchange forward contracts (not designated as hedging instruments)
Prepaid expenses and other assets	4,911		914
Other liabilities	891		2,062

Prepaid expenses and other assets and Other liabilities as of March 31, 2026, totaled $134.8 million and $99.5 million, respectively. The increases compared to December 31, 2025 were due primarily to the receipt of a derivative settlement payment made in error by the financial institution counterparty on March 31, 2026. The funds were recorded as restricted cash on March 31, 2026, and returned to the counterparty the following day.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

The effects of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Hedging instrument	2026		2025
Interest rate swaps	$	8,083	$	76

	Gain/(loss) reclassified from OCI into income
	Three Months Ended March 31,
Income statement line-item	2026		2025

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional amount of outstanding interest rate swaps was $675.8 million and $883.0 million, respectively. These swaps remained highly effective as of March 31, 2026 and have remaining terms ranging from 10 months to approximately four years. As of March 31, 2026, the Company estimates that approximately zero net derivative losses included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The effects of foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):



			Three Months Ended March 31,

The Company's policy is to report derivative asset and liability positions on a gross basis. As of March 31, 2026, none of the open derivative positions would have been eligible for offsetting under the terms of the Company's netting agreements.

Note 7. Fair Value

Financial instruments carried at fair value

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

(1)Fair value is estimated using the proprietary pricing models the Company utilizes to make portfolio acquisition decisions.

(2)Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and approximates carrying value due to the short-term deposit periods.

(3)Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and approximates carrying value due to the short-term interest rate periods.

(4)The carrying amounts and fair values do not include debt issuance costs.

(5)Fair value is based on quoted market prices obtained from secondary market broker quotes.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments, the fair value of these instruments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market or observable inputs existed for such instruments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled.

(1)Net of deferred taxes for unrealized gains from cash flow hedges of $0.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

9. Stockholders' Equity

In February 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 546,681 shares of its common stock at an average price of $18.29 per share for a total of $10.0 million. Share repurchases are subject to restrictive covenants contained in the Company's credit facilities and the indentures that govern its senior notes. The Company's practice is to retire the shares it repurchases. As of March 31, 2026, there was $37.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program.

Note 10. Earnings per Share

The following tables provide a reconciliation between basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026					2025
	Net Income Attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS		Net Income Attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	28,210	38,368	$	0.74	$	3,659	39,549	$	0.09
Dilutive effect of nonvested share awards			143	(0.01)				139	—

Diluted EPS	$	28,210	38,511	$	0.73	$	3,659	39,688	$	0.09

Basic EPS are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of PRA Group, Inc. by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed using the same components as basic EPS, with the denominator adjusted for nonvested share awards, if dilutive. Share-based awards that are contingent upon the attainment of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Income before income taxes	$	40,536		$	13,376
Income tax expense	8,764			4,312
Effective tax rate	21.6		%	32.2		%

The relationship between Income before income taxes and Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was impacted by the Company's pretax income, mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items.

Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period and tax expense or benefit is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year is applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projections for the remainder of the year. Since the Company operates in foreign countries with varying tax rates, the Company’s quarterly effective tax rate is dependent, in part, on the level of income or loss from its international operations.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Forward flow agreements

The Company enters into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period. The amounts purchased are also dependent on actual delivery by the sellers, and while purchases under these agreements comprise a significant portion of the Company's overall purchases, as of March 31, 2026, the estimated minimum contractual purchase obligation under forward flow agreements was not significant.

Litigation and regulatory matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are from time-to-time subject to a variety of legal and regulatory claims, inquiries, proceedings, and other matters, including those described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K. The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These estimates involve significant judgment, and accordingly, the Company's estimates will change from time-to-time, and actual expenses could exceed the current estimates.

As of March 31, 2026, there were no material developments in any of the previously disclosed legal proceedings.

Note 13. Business Segments

The Company has determined that its U.S. and European businesses are reportable segments. The U.S. reportable segment includes the operating results of the Company's class action claims recoveries business, which are not material to the segment as a whole.

The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company’s chief executive officer ("CEO"). The primary profitability measure used by the CEO to evaluate performance and allocate resources is Income from operations excluding goodwill impairment, when applicable, and certain unallocated corporate expenses ("Adjusted segment operating income"). The Company does not report a measure of segment assets as that information is not regularly provided to the CEO. Intersegment and other intercompany transactions are executed on an arms-length basis. All prior period disclosures have been recast to reflect the reportable segment reorganization that occurred as of December 31, 2025.

Note 14. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the related disclosures; however, it does not expect there will be a material impact upon adoption.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans” ("ASU 2025-08"), under which loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned” will be considered purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company currently applies the PCD accounting model to the loans it acquires and is evaluating the impact this ASU could have on its Consolidated Financial Statements; however, it does not expect there will be a material impact upon adoption.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements" ("ASU 2025-09"), which enables entities to apply hedge accounting to a greater number of highly effective economic hedges in the following five areas: (1) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges; (2) hedging forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments; (3) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions; (4) net written options as hedging instruments; and (5) foreign currency denominated debt instrument as hedging instrument and hedged item (dual hedge). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements" (“ASU 2025-11"), which improves the guidance of Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by providing clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. This ASU provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods and adds a principle to Topic 270 requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and the related disclosures.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Note 15. Subsequent Event

On April 30, 2026, the Company amended and restated its European revolving credit facility. Among other modifications, the maturity date was extended from November 23, 2027 to April 30, 2031, the maximum ERC Ratio (as defined in the agreement) was reduced from 45.0% to 40.0%, and subject to certain conditions, joint venture investments and loans are permitted up to an aggregate amount of €100.0 million. The aggregate revolving borrowings available and funding costs remained unchanged.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in acquiring and collecting nonperforming loans. Most of our purchases are from credit originators who have chosen not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in collecting, the full balance owed to them ("Core" accounts). To a lesser extent, we also purchase loans in situations where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding ("Insolvency" accounts). As part of an ancillary business, we purchase and provide fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.

Our operations are organized on a geographic basis, and we have two reportable segments comprised of our U.S. and European businesses. On a significantly smaller scale, we also operate in South America, Canada and Australia. Subject to globally-established parameters for capital allocation, portfolio return thresholds and leverage, each market functions under a similar debt management business model, which is predicated on purchasing nonperforming loans and generating returns through disciplined collection strategies over extended collection periods.

For additional information about our business and reportable segments, refer to Part I, Item 1 "Business" of our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 13.

First quarter business trends and results

During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to gain momentum in improving our U.S. business and benefited from the strength of our European business, executing on our near-term priorities and long-term PRA 3.0 strategy. Our results for the first quarter of 2026 included the following:

•Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $28.2 million, an increase of $24.6 million compared to the prior year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion for the last 12 months, an increase of 13.9% compared to the prior 12 month period ("Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure; refer to section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).

•Continued geographic diversification, with the U.S. and Europe accounting for 42.7% and 50.7%, respectively, of total ERC of $8.5 billion as of March 31, 2026.

•A diversified capital structure, consistent with our targeted leverage and liquidity objectives. In April 2026, we refinanced our European revolving credit facility for an additional five years with no change to the commitment levels or funding costs (refer to Note 15 for additional details).

Market environment

We expect portfolio supply to remain relatively stable in the U.S. and Europe over the next 12 to 18 months. We observed stability in our customers' payment activity in the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter of 2026, and we continue to monitor the ongoing geopolitical conflict and instability in the Middle East, and in particular, how it has led to elevated energy costs and gas prices.

Consolidated and business segment results

Portfolio purchases

Portfolio purchases were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


	First Quarter
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change
U.S.	$	118,512	$	160,962	$	(42,450)	(26.4)	%

Total portfolio purchases	$	220,850	$	291,702	$	(70,852)	(24.3)	%

(1)Reflects portfolio purchases in South America, Canada and Australia.

We use a global investment framework to optimize the deployment of capital across our markets with a focus on net returns. Our total portfolio purchases in Q1 2026 decreased by $70.9 million, or 24.3%, compared to Q1 2025. Total purchases of $220.9 million in Q1 2026 were in-line with our expectations for the quarter, and the PPM for our global Core vintage was 1.96x, slightly lower than the 2.01x for Q1 2025. PPMs can vary due to factors contributing to the cost to collect, including the loan type and age, geography and collections strategy, in addition to competitive and market dynamics. Our focus continued to be on net returns, which considers the amount and timing of the projected cash collections, estimated costs to collect, funding costs, risk and agreement terms.

•U.S.: Portfolio purchases decreased by $42.5 million as we remained disciplined in our purchasing and long-term approach focused on net returns. As of March 31, 2026, the PPM for our 2026 U.S. Core vintage was 2.02x, reflecting a 7% decrease compared to Q1 2025 due to purchases of a higher percentage of portfolios with lower costs to collect.

•Europe: Portfolio purchases decreased by $21.7 million reflecting the occurrence of a large spot purchase in Q1 2025 and continued purchasing discipline in Q1 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the PPM for our 2026 European Core vintage was 1.85x, reflecting a 6% increase compared to Q1 2025.

Total cash collections	$	551,928	$	497,436	$	54,492	11.0	%

(1)Reflects cash collections in South America, Canada and Australia.

Our total cash collections in Q1 2026 increased by $54.5 million, or 11.0%, compared to Q1 2025. Total collections of $551.9 million in Q1 2026 exceeded our expectations for the quarter.

•U.S.: Cash collections increased by $27.5 million driven by a $29.8 million increase in legal collections due primarily to an expansion in activity associated with our operational initiatives.

•Europe: Cash collections increased by $27.0 million due to the performance in several markets and in part, to favorable foreign exchange rate variation.

Portfolio revenue

Total portfolio revenue was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


	First Quarter
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change





U.S.	155,986		135,806		20,180		14.9





Europe	125,435		99,986		25,449		25.5

Other markets (1)	32,044		33,088		(1,044)		(3.2)
Total portfolio revenue	$	313,465	$	268,880	$	44,585	16.6	%

By component
Portfolio income	$	269,579	$	240,958	$	28,621	11.9	%
Recoveries collected in excess of forecast	22,698		16,500		6,198		37.6
Changes in expected future recoveries	21,188		11,422		9,766		85.5
Changes in expected recoveries	43,886		27,922		15,964		57.2
Total portfolio revenue	$	313,465	$	268,880	$	44,585	16.6	%

(1)Reflects portfolio revenue in South America, Canada and Australia.

Our total portfolio revenue in Q1 2026 increased by $44.6 million, or 16.6%, compared to Q1 2025. Portfolio income, the yield component of our revenue, which is more predictable than Changes in expected recoveries, increased by 11.9%.

•U.S.: Portfolio revenue increased by $20.2 million due to increases of $11.1 million in Portfolio income and $9.1 million in Changes in expected recoveries. The increase in Portfolio income was driven largely by higher recent purchasing and improved pricing on the 2025 Core vintage. The increase in Changes in expected recoveries was due to net cash collections overperformance in Q1 2026, driven primarily by the 2024 Core pool, compared to net underperformance in Q1 2025, driven by the 2019-2023 Core pools. This increase was partially offset by a lower net increase in the collections forecasts on certain Core pools compared to Q1 2025 and the impact of changes in the expected timing of collections on certain Core pools in Q1 2026.

•Europe: Portfolio revenue increased by $25.4 million due to increases of $14.1 million in Portfolio income and $11.3 million in Changes in expected recoveries, which were distributed across multiple pools. The increase in Portfolio income was driven by higher purchasing and favorable foreign exchange rate variation. The increase in Changes in expected recoveries was due primarily to a higher net increase in the collections forecasts on certain Core pools in Q1 2026.

(6)Mainly IT-related costs and subscriptions, other taxes and fees.

Our Total operating expenses increased by $16.2 million, or 8.3%, compared to Q1 2025.

•U.S.: Operating expenses increased by $7.4 million due primarily to an increase in Legal collection costs associated with the expansion in activity in our legal collections channel, partially offset by a decrease in Compensation and benefits driven by continued rationalization of our U.S. call centers, increased use of external collectors, including offshore service providers, and the impact of our corporate headcount reduction in 2025.

•Europe: Operating expenses increased by $7.4 million due primarily to an increase in Compensation and benefits associated with organizational changes and higher non-collector wage costs, and to a lesser extent, an increase in Other operating expenses.

•Other markets: An increase in Agency fees of $3.2 million was due primarily to higher collection fees in South America.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):


	First Quarter
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change

Foreign exchange gain/(loss), net included the following components (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2026		2025		$ Change		% Change

These results were primarily due to our pretax income, the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items, including the reversal of a $3.2 million tax accrual in Q1 2026.

Business segment operating income

Our CEO evaluates the profitability of our U.S. and European business segments based primarily on Income from operations excluding goodwill impairment, when applicable, and certain unallocated corporate expenses ("Adjusted segment operating income").

Consolidated balance sheet

Investments

Investments were $143.4 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $76.7 million compared to December 31, 2025.

Our banking subsidiary is part of our European operations, and it expects to continue to operate with higher levels of liquidity moving forward.

Finance receivables, net

Finance receivables, net were $4.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, decreasing marginally compared to December 31, 2025. Compared to March 31, 2025, Finance receivables, net increased $328.8 million, or 7.6%, due to portfolio purchases of $1.1 billion, Changes in expected recoveries of $192.4 million and foreign currency translation of $120.3 million, partially offset by $1.1 billion of recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net.

Prepaid expenses and other assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets were $134.8 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $66.2 million compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by the receipt of a derivative settlement payment made in error by the financial institution counterparty on March 31, 2026. The funds were returned the following day.

Borrowings

Borrowings were $3.8 billion as of March 31, 2026, increasing marginally compared to December 31, 2025. Compared to March 31, 2025, Borrowings increased $313.1 million, or 9.0%, primarily to fund portfolio purchases, and to a lesser extent, the purchases of investments discussed above under Investments.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities were $99.5 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $50.5 million compared to December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the same payment error discussed above under Prepaid expenses and other assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We actively manage our liquidity to meet our business needs and financial obligations.

Sources of liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $124.8 million, of which $113.7 million was held by international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. For additional information about the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2026, we had the following committed amounts, outstanding borrowings and availability under our financing arrangements (in thousands):


							Composition of Total Availability
	Committed Amounts		Outstanding Borrowings		Total Availability		Based on Current ERC (1)		Additional Availability (2)
North American revolving credit facility	$	1,075,000	$	547,059	$	527,941	$	355,383	$	172,558

Total	$	4,787,900	$	3,779,167	$	995,995	$	714,258	$	281,737

(1)Available borrowings after calculation of borrowing base, subject to the committed amounts and debt covenants, which may be used for general corporate purposes, including portfolio purchases.

(2)Subject to borrowing base and debt covenants, including advance rates ranging from 35-55% of applicable ERC.

Interest-bearing deposits

As of March 31, 2026, interest-bearing deposits totaled $78.7 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion ($232.6 million as of March 31, 2026).

Uses of liquidity and material cash requirements

We believe that funds generated from our business activities, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the capital markets, will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, debt maturities and additional portfolio purchases for at least the next 12 months. Our long-term capital requirements will depend in large part on the level of nonperforming loan portfolios that we purchase.

Market conditions permitting, as we deem appropriate, we may seek to access the debt or equity capital markets or other sources of funding, and it may be necessary to raise additional funds to achieve our business objectives. Business acquisitions or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing. We may also from time-to-time repurchase common stock in the open market or otherwise. We also have the ability to slow the purchase of nonperforming loans without significantly impacting current year collections.

Forward flows

We enter into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period.

As of March 31, 2026, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $321.8 million over the next 12 months. This total can vary significantly based on the remaining terms and renewal dates of the agreements and is comprised of $172.6 million in Europe, $132.2 million in the U.S. and $17.0 million in our other markets. 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.

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.8 billion in outstanding borrowings. Our estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $251.0 million. With the exception of $2.5 million in quarterly principal payments on our North American term loan, as of March 31, 2026, principal payments on our borrowings have maturity dates ranging from November 2027 through September 2032. Our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants. For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5.

Share repurchases

On February 25, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program has no stated expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and, subject to compliance with applicable laws, may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases are also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes.

Repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, in block transactions, through purchases made in accordance with trading plans adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other methods, subject to market and/or other conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased 546,681 shares of our common stock at an average price of $18.29 for a total of $10.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had $37.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program, subject to the restrictive covenants mentioned above.

Leases

Our leases have remaining terms ranging from one to approximately seven years. As of March 31, 2026, we had $31.6 million in lease liabilities, of which $6.7 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Derivatives

We enter into derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2026, we had $4.5 million of derivative liabilities, of which $0.9 million matures within the next 12 months and $3.6 million in 2028. For additional information, refer to Note 6.

Investments

As of March 31, 2026, we held $114.8 million in Swedish treasury securities and $27.2 million in Finnish corporate notes to meet liquidity requirements for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

Cash flow analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2026		2025		Change
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	24,937	$	(52,580)	$	77,517
Investing activities	(18,439)		(24,385)		5,946
Financing activities	60,423		85,630		(25,207)
Effect of foreign exchange rates	10,733		14,216		(3,483)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	77,654	$	22,881	$	54,773

Operating activities

Net cash provided by/(used in) in operating activities mainly reflects the portion of our cash collections recognized as revenue and cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. It does not include cash collections applied to the negative allowance, which are classified as investing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $77.5 million in Q1 2026 due primarily to lower cash paid for operating expenses and higher cash collections recognized as income.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $5.9 million in Q1 2026 due primarily to a decrease in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios and an increase in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net, partially offset by an increase in purchases of investments.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $25.2 million in Q1 2026 due primarily to activity within our interest-bearing deposits and the repurchase of $10.0 million shares of our common stock, partially offset by higher net proceeds from credit lines and lower noncontrolling interest distributions in Q1 2026.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of our significant accounting policies require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We consider accounting estimates to be critical if they (1) involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (2) have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements may be material.

Our critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition on finance receivables, goodwill and income taxes. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the 2025 Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Note 14.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our business is primarily subject to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Our exposure to these risks, as described in Part II, Item 7A in the 2025 Form 10-K, has not changed materially.

Interest rate exposure

Of our $3.8 billion in total borrowings as of March 31, 2026, approximately $1.6 billion was fixed rate debt. Considering these fixed rate borrowings and the interest rate hedges on our variable rate debt, with maturities ranging from 10 months to approximately four years, as of March 31, 2026, 60% of our total debt was either fixed rate or converted to a fixed rate. Based on our debt structure, assuming a 50 basis point decrease/increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease/increase by an estimated $7.7 million.

Foreign currency exposure

We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. During Q1 2026, our revenues from operations outside the U.S. were $157.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
