"We had a solid purchasing quarter, driven by increased portfolio acquisitions in Europe, specifically in Northern Europe," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "We continue to see deterioration in consumer savings, higher credit card balances, and rising delinquency rates, which we believe suggests that more supply will be available in the coming months. Our strong balance sheet and geographic diversity provide us with a significant competitive advantage in capitalizing on what appears to be an increasingly favorable purchasing environment, and permit us to be disciplined in our capital allocation strategy. During the quarter, we repurchased nearly $35 million of shares of our common stock, underscoring our commitment to deploy capital in the areas that can generate the highest returns for our shareholders. Looking ahead, we will continue executing this measured strategy, while remaining active in the market and preparing to ramp up our purchasing as supply increases."

Total cash collections in Q2 2022 decreased 18.3%, or 15.4% on a constant currency adjusted basis, to $444.1 million compared to $543.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 ("Q2 2021"). The decrease was driven primarily by a 32.5% decrease in U.S. call center and other collections, and a 15.8% decrease in U.S. legal collections. The overall decrease in U.S. cash collections was due to excess consumer liquidity in 2021, which generated high levels of collections then, as well as lower levels of portfolio purchases. Europe cash collections decreased by 8.7%; however, on a currency adjusted basis, they increased by 2.5%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash collections decreased $174.7 million compared to the same period last year.
Total portfolio revenue in Q2 2022 was $250.6 million compared to $282.7 million in Q2 2021.

Expenses

Operating expenses in Q2 2022 decreased by $6.9 million, or 3.8%, compared to Q2 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by:
- a 6.9% decrease in compensation and employee services expenses primarily due to the level and timing of compensation accruals in the prior year and lower collector compensation expenses in the U.S. call centers; and
- a 22.3% decrease in legal collection fees due to lower external legal cash collections, which was partially offset by a 31.1% increase in outside fees and services related to higher corporate legal expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, operating expenses decreased $17.0 million to $343.2 million compared to $360.1 million in the same period last year.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 20.3%.

Portfolio Acquisitions

The Company purchased $231.3 million in portfolios of nonperforming loans in Q2 2022.
At the end of Q2 2022, the Company had in place maximum forward flow commitments¹ of up to $960.2 million, comprised of $300.9 million in the Americas and Australia and $659.3 million in Europe.


1.	Contractual agreements with sellers of nonperforming loans that allow for the purchase of nonperforming portfolios at pre-established prices.

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 June 30, 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
	LTM	For the Year Ended

Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.	$ 145	$ 183

Recoveries applied to negative allowance less Changes in expected recoveries	893	988
Adjusted EBITDA	$ 1,224	$ 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 June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (amounts in millions):

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
	LTM	For the Year Ended

Borrowings	$ 2,482	$ 2,609
LTM Adjusted EBITDA	1,224	1,378
Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA	2.03	1.89
