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 attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense (or less income tax benefit); plus foreign exchange loss (or less foreign exchange gain); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense (or less other income); plus depreciation and amortization; plus impairment of real estate; 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. The Company 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 net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM) ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 . The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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 ("ATE") is defined as average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. less average goodwill and average other intangible assets. ROATE is calculated by dividing annualized Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by ATE. 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 ATE for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands, except for ratio data): Average Balance Balance at Period End Second Quarter Year-to-Date June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. $ 1,145,463 $ 1,165,525 $ 1,137,395 $ 1,161,934 $ 1,147,300 $ 1,183,843 Less: Goodwill 415,646 414,905 413,746 417,776 419,685 423,824 Less: Other intangible assets 1,597 1,836 1,632 1,835 1,668 1,839 Average tangible equity $ 722,017 $ 742,323 $ 725,947 $ 758,180 Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc. $ 21,516 $ (3,804) $ 24,991 $ (62,433) Return on average tangible equity (1) 11.9 % (2.0) % 6.9 % (16.5) % (1) Based on annualized Net income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc.
