Total revenues increased 5% to $285.6 million.
Cash efficiency ratio¹ of 66.8%.

"Based on our strong results and capital position, the Board of Directors approved a $150 million share repurchase program."

Cash collections in the quarter increased $33.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a 42% increase in Europe cash collections and a 20% increase in Other Americas & Australia Core cash collections. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in U.S. call centers and U.S. legal cash collections. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash collections increased $95.2 million compared to the same period last year.
Total portfolio revenue was $282.7 million, an increase of $14.6 million, compared to $268.1 million during the second quarter of 2020. The Company has assumed that the majority of the current quarter overperformance was acceleration of future collections and made adjustments in some geographies to increase near term expected collections, bringing them in line with recent performance and trends in collections, with the corresponding reductions later in the forecast period.

Expenses

Operating expenses in the quarter increased $20.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase is primarily driven by:
- an increase in compensation and employee services primarily due to medical benefits, unfavorable foreign exchange and the timing of performance based compensation accruals;
- an increase in agency fees due to increased fees outside the U.S.; and
- an increase in other operating expenses primarily due to investments in digital and data.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating expenses increased $8.3 million compared to the same period last year.
Interest expense, net decreased $4.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower average borrowings this year and a change in accounting for convertible notes.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 19.3%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

The Company purchased $219.7 million in finance receivables in the second quarter of 2021.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company had in place forward flow commitments of up to $521.1 million with $377.2 million in the Americas and Australia and $143.9 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; 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 June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,428	$	1,337

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 June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in millions):

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
