The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. The Company also provides fee-based services on class action claims recoveries and by servicing consumer bankruptcy accounts in the United States ("U.S.").

On March 11, 2020, due to the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. Since the initial outbreak was reported, ~~all U.S. states have declared states of emergency and~~ COVID-19 has ~~spread~~continued to adversely impact all countries in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company ~~implemented~~continues to operate in business continuity mode globally.

Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020, its Consolidated Income Statements, and its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, have been included. The Consolidated Income Statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of future results.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements 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, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K").

Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ~~all of its subsidiaries.~~PRA Group and other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, through ownership of the majority of the entities’ voting equity interests, or through other contractual rights that give the Company control, consist of entities which purchase and collect on portfolios of nonperforming loans.

Investments in companies in which the Company has significant influence over operating and financing decisions, but does not own a majority of the voting equity interests, are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting, which requires the Company to recognize its proportionate share of the entity’s net earnings. These investments are included in other assets, with income or loss included in other revenue.

The Company performs on-going reassessments whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with an entity cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change.

Restricted cash: Cash that is subject to legal restrictions or is unavailable for general operating purposes is classified as restricted cash.

Segments: Under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC Topic 280 "Segment Reporting" ("ASC 280"), the Company has determined that it has several operating segments that meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, and, therefore, it has 1 reportable segment, accounts receivable management. This conclusion is based on similarities among the operating units, including economic characteristics, the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the types or class of customer for their products and services, the methods used to distribute their products and services and the nature of the regulatory environment.

(1) None of the countries included in "Other" comprise greater than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues or long-lived assets.

Revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the related operations. Long-lived assets consist of net property and equipment and right-of-use assets. The Company reports revenues earned from nonperforming loan acquisitions and collection activities, fee-based services and investments. For additional information on the Company's investments, see Note 4. It is impracticable for the Company to report further breakdowns of revenues from external customers by product or service.

Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("Topic 326") ("ASU 2016-13") and ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2019-11”), collectively referred to as "ASC ~~Topic~~ 326", on a prospective basis. Prior to January 1, 2020, the vast majority of the Company's investment in finance receivables were accounted for under ASC 310-30 "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality" ("ASC 310-30"). Refer to Note 2.

Finance receivables and income recognition: The Company accounts for its investment in finance receivables at amortized cost under the guidance of ASC Topic 310 “Receivables” (“ASC ~~Topic~~ 310”) and ASC Topic 326-20 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost” (“ASC ~~Topic~~ 326-20”). ASC ~~Topic~~ 326-20 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.

Credit quality information: The Company acquires portfolios of accounts that have experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the Company's acquisition of the accounts. The amount paid for a portfolio reflects the Company's determination that it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to an account's contractual terms.

~~PRA Group, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

The Company accounts for the portfolios in accordance with the guidance for purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") assets. The initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than recorded as a credit loss expense. The Company has established a policy to writeoff the amortized cost of individual assets when it deems probable that it will not collect on an individual asset. Due to the deteriorated credit quality of the individual accounts, the Company may writeoff the unpaid principal balance of all accounts in a portfolio at the time of acquisition. However, when the Company has an expectation of collecting cash flows at the portfolio level, a negative allowance is established for expected recoveries at an amount not to exceed the amount paid for the financial portfolios.

Portfolio segments: The Company develops systematic methodologies to determine its allowance for credit losses at the portfolio segment level. The Company’s nonperforming loan portfolio segments consist of two broad categories: Core and Insolvency. The Company’s Core portfolios contain loan accounts that are in default, which were purchased at a substantial discount to face value because either the credit grantor and/or other third-party collection agencies have been unsuccessful in collecting the full balance owed. The Company’s Insolvency portfolios contain loan accounts that are in default where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and were purchased at a substantial discount to face value. Each of the two broad portfolio segments of purchased nonperforming loan portfolios consist of large numbers of homogeneous receivables with similar risk characteristics.

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Effective ~~Interest Rate~~interest rate and ~~Accounting Pools~~accounting pools: Within each portfolio segment, the Company pools accounts with similar risk characteristics that are acquired in the same year. Similar risk characteristics generally include portfolio segment and geographic region. The initial effective interest rate of the pool is established based on the purchase price and expected recoveries of each individual purchase at the purchase date. During the year of acquisition, the annual pool is aggregated, and the blended effective interest rate will change to reflect new acquisitions and new cash flow estimates until the end of the year. The effective interest rate for a pool is fixed for the remaining life of the pool once the year has ended.

Methodology: The Company develops its estimates of expected recoveries in the Consolidated Balance Sheets by applying discounted cash flow methodologies to its estimated remaining collections (“ERC”) and recognizes income over the estimated life of the pool at the constant effective interest rate of the pool. Subsequent changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized within changes in expected recoveries in the Consolidated Income Statements by adjusting the present value of increases or decreases in ERC at a constant effective interest rate. Amounts included in the estimate of recoveries do not exceed the aggregate amount of the amortized cost basis previously written off or expected to be written off.

The measurement of expected recoveries is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Factors that may contribute to the changes in estimated cash flows include both external and internal factors. External factors that may have an impact on the collectability, and subsequently on the overall profitability of acquired pools of nonperforming loans, would include new laws or regulations relating to collections, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, and the overall condition of the economy. Internal factors that may have an impact on the collectability, and subsequently the overall profitability of acquired pools of nonperforming loans, would include necessary revisions to initial and post-acquisition scoring and modeling estimates, operational activities, expected impact of operational strategies and changes in productivity related to turnover and tenure of the Company's collection staff.

Portfolio income: The recognition of income on expected recoveries is based on the constant effective interest rate established for a pool.

Changes in expected recoveries: The activity consists of differences between actual recoveries compared to expected recoveries for the reporting period, as well as the net present value of increases or decreases in ERC at the constant effective interest rate.

Agreements to acquire the aforementioned receivables include general representations and warranties from the sellers covering matters such as account holder death or insolvency and accounts settled or disputed prior to sale. The representation and warranty period permitting the return of these accounts from the Company to the seller is typically 90 to 180 days, with certain international agreements extending as long as 24 months. Any funds received from the seller as a return of purchase price are referred to as buybacks. Buyback funds are included in changes in expected recoveries when received. In some cases, the seller will replace the returned accounts with new accounts in lieu of returning the purchase price. In that case, the old account is removed from the pool and the new account is added.

Fees paid to third parties other than the seller related to the direct acquisition of a portfolio of accounts are expensed when incurred.

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

Goodwill and intangible assets: Goodwill, in accordance with ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), is not amortized but rather is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill as of October 1. The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The loss will be recorded at the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the respective reporting unit.

~~Basis of presentation~~: The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020, its Consolidated Income Statements, and Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and its Statements of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been included. The Consolidated Income Statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not be indicative of future results.

2. Change in Accounting Principle:

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which introduced a new methodology requiring the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and other receivables measured at amortized cost. The

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

new methodology requires an entity to present on the balance sheet the net amount expected to be collected. This methodology replaces the multiple impairment methods under prior GAAP, including for purchased credit impaired ("PCI") assets, and introduces the concept of PCD assets. The Company's PCI assets previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 are now accounted for as PCD assets upon ~~adoption of ASU 2016-13.~~adoption. ASU 2016-13 requires PCD assets to be recognized at their purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. ASU 2016-13 also requires that financial assets should be written off when they are deemed uncollectible.

In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which amended the PCD asset guidance in ASU 2016-13 to clarify that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account. Additionally, they should not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by an entity. Further, ASU 2019-11 clarifies that a negative allowance is recognized when an entity determines, after a full or partial writeoff of the amortized cost basis, that it will recover all or a portion of the basis.

The Company adopted ASC ~~Topic~~ 326 on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. In accordance with the guidance, substantially all the Company’s PCI assets were transitioned using the PCD guidance, with immediate writeoff of the amortized cost basis of individual accounts and establishment of a negative allowance for expected recoveries equal to the amortized cost basis written off. Accounts previously accounted for under ASC ~~Topic~~ 310-30, were aggregated into annual pools based on similar risk characteristics and an effective interest rate was established based on the estimated remaining cash flows of the annual pool. The immediate writeoff and subsequent recognition of expected recoveries had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements or the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the date of adoption. The Company develops its estimate of expected recoveries by applying discounted cash flow methodologies to its ERC and recognizes income over the estimated life of the pool at the constant effective interest rate of the pool. Changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized in current period earnings by adjusting the present value of the changes in expected recoveries.

In order to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expectations of future cash collections, the Company considered historical performance, current economic forecasts regarding the duration of the impact to short-term and long-term growth in the various geographies in which the Company operates, and evolving information regarding ~~government stimulus packages and the reduced~~its effect on economic activity ~~required by stay at home orders.~~and consumer habits as reopening initiatives occur. The Company also considered current collection activity in its determination to adjust the estimated timing of near term ERC for certain pools. Based on these considerations, the Company’s estimates incorporate changes in the timing of expected cash collections over the next 6 to 1218 months. ~~Changes~~

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, changes in expected recoveries ~~were a net write down of $12.8~~increased $19.8 million. This reflects $119.5 million in recoveries received during the quarter in excess of forecast, partially offset by a ~~$20.6~~$99.7 million ~~net, negative adjustment~~decrease to the present value of expected future ~~recoveries primarily related to an expected delay~~recoveries. The majority of the decrease reflects the Company's assumption that the overperformance was acceleration in cash collections ~~from~~rather than an increase to total expected collections. Additionally, the ~~impact of COVID-19, partially offset by $7.8~~Company made forecast adjustments deemed appropriate given the current environment in which the Company operates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, changes in expected recoveries increased $7.0 million. This reflects $127.3 million in recoveries in excess of ~~expectations~~forecast, which was largely due to significant cash collections overperformance during the most recent quarter. This was mostly offset by a $120.3 million decrease in the present value of expected future recoveries. The majority of the decrease reflects the Company's assumption that the current ~~quarter.~~ quarter overperformance was primarily due to acceleration in the timing of cash collections rather than an increase to total expected collections. Additionally, the Company made forecast adjustments in both quarters deemed appropriate given the current environment in which the Company operates.

Changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding the duration and impact of COVID-19 to cash collections could change significantly as conditions evolve.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company had aggregate net finance receivables balances in pools accounted for under the cost recovery method of ~~$43.5~~$39.4 million.

Accretable yield represented the amount of income on finance receivables the Company expected to recognize over the remaining life of its existing portfolios based on estimated future cash flows as of the balance sheet date. Additions represented the original expected accretable yield on portfolios acquired during the period. Net reclassifications from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield primarily resulted from the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows. When applicable, net reclassifications to nonaccretable difference from accretable yield resulted from the decrease in the Company's estimates of future cash flows and allowance charges that together exceeded the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows.

6. Leases:

The Company's operating lease portfolio primarily includes corporate offices and call centers. The majority of its leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years, and others include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Exercises of lease renewal options are typically at the Company's sole discretion and are included in its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities based upon whether the Company is reasonably certain of exercising the renewal options. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the North American Credit Agreement.

The total credit facility under the North American Credit Agreement includes an aggregate principal amount of ~~$1,540.5~~$1,538.0 million (subject to compliance with a borrowing base and applicable debt covenants), which consists of (i) a fully-funded ~~$422.5~~$420.0 million term loan, (ii) a $1,068.0 million domestic revolving credit facility, and (iii) a $50.0 million Canadian revolving credit facility. The facility includes an accordion feature for up to $500.0 million in additional commitments (at the option of the lender) and also provides for up to $25.0 million of letters of credit and a $25.0 million swingline loan sublimit that would reduce amounts available for borrowing. The term and revolving loans accrue interest, at the option of the Company, at either the base rate or the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement), for the applicable term plus 2.50% per annum in the case of the Eurodollar rate loans and 1.50% in the case of the base rate ~~loans.~~loans (unless the ERC Advance Rate Increase Period event, as defined in the North American Credit Agreement, triggers an additional 55 basis points that would be added to the margin). The base rate is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America's prime rate, or (c) the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. Canadian Prime Rate Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.50% (unless the ERC Advance Rate Increase Period event, as defined in the North American Credit Agreement, triggers an additional 55 basis points that would be added to the margin). The revolving loans within the credit facility are subject to a 1% floor. The revolving credit facilities also bear an unused line fee of 0.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The loans under the North American Credit Agreement mature May 5, 2022. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the unused portion of the North American Credit Agreement was ~~$371.2~~$562.3 million. Considering borrowing base restrictions, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the amount available to be drawn was ~~$175.7~~$313.6 million.

The North American Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's North American assets. The North American Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants and events of default including the following:

•borrowings under each of the domestic revolving loan facility and the Canadian revolving loan facility are subject to borrowing base calculations and may not exceed 35% of the ERC through July 30, 2020 on all domestic or Canadian, as applicable, Core eligible pools.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

On August 13, 2013, the Company completed the private offering of $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due August 1, 2020 (the "2020 Notes"). The 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated August 13, 2013 (the "2013 Indenture"), between the Company and Regions Bank, as successor trustee. The 2013 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Notes may be due and payable immediately. The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year. Prior to February 1, 2020, the 2020 Notes were convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 the 2020 Notes are convertible at any time.

The conversion rate for the 2020 Notes is initially 15.2172 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $65.72 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances pursuant to the 2013 Indenture. Upon conversion, holders of the 2020 Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election. The Company's intent is to settle conversions through combination settlement (i.e., the 2020 Notes would be converted into cash up to the aggregate principal amount, and shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the remainder). As a result and in accordance with authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging and earnings per share, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $65.72.

The Company determined that the fair value of the 2020 Notes at the date of issuance was approximately $255.3 million, and designated the residual value of approximately $32.2 million as the equity component. Additionally, the Company allocated approximately $7.3 million of the $8.2 million 2020 Notes issuance cost as debt issuance cost and the remaining $0.9 million as equity issuance cost.

The 2020 Notes matured on August 1, 2020. For more information refer to Note 15.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed the private offering of $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2023 (the "2023 Notes" and, together with the 2020 Notes, the "Notes"). The 2023 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 26, 2017 (the "2017 Indenture"), between the Company and Regions Bank, as trustee. The 2017 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2023 Notes may be due and payable immediately. The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Prior to March 1, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events. On or after March 1, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at any time. The Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all or any part of the outstanding 2023 Notes at any time on or after June 1, 2021 for cash, but only if the last reported sale price (as defined in the 2017 Indenture) exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the Company does not believe that any of the conditions allowing holders of the 2023 Notes to convert their notes have occurred.

~~PRA Group, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

The conversion rate for the 2023 Notes is initially 21.6275 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.24 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances pursuant to the 2017 Indenture. Upon conversion, holders of the 2023 Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election. The Company's intent is to settle conversions through combination settlement (i.e., the 2023 Notes would be converted into cash up to the aggregate principal amount, and shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the remainder). As a result and in accordance with authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging and earnings per share, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $46.24.

The Company determined that the fair value of the 2023 Notes at the date of issuance was approximately $298.8 million, and designated the residual value of approximately $46.2 million as the equity component. Additionally, the Company allocated approximately $8.3 million of the $9.6 million 2023 Notes issuance cost as debt issuance cost and the remaining $1.3 million as equity issuance cost.

8. Derivatives:

The Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments, typically interest rate swap agreements, interest rate caps, and foreign currency contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments with a level of complexity or with a risk greater than the exposure to be managed nor does it enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company periodically reviews the creditworthiness of the counterparty to assess the counterparty’s ability to honor its obligation. Counterparty default would expose the Company to fluctuations in interest and currency rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).

9. Fair Value:

As defined by ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.

~~PRA Group, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

Those levels of input are summarized as follows:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried at Fair Value

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"), the table below summarizes fair value estimates for the Company's financial instruments that are not required to be carried at fair value. The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. The carrying amount and estimates of the fair value of the Company's debt obligations outlined above do not include any related debt issuance costs associated with the debt obligations. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and quoted prices for identical assets can be found in active markets. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs.

Finance receivables, net: The Company estimates the fair value of these receivables using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio acquisition decisions. Accordingly, the Company's fair value estimates use Level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates.

Interest-bearing deposits: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Revolving lines of credit: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Convertible senior notes: The fair value estimates for the Notes incorporate quoted market prices which were obtained from secondary market broker quotes which were derived from a variety of inputs including client orders, information from their pricing vendors, modeling software, and actual trading prices when they occur. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Furthermore, in the table above, carrying amount represents the portion of the Notes classified as debt, while estimated fair value pertains to the face amount of the Notes.

Available-for-sale investments

Government bonds: Fair value of the Company's investment in government bonds is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.

Fair value through net income investments

Mutual funds: Fair value of the Company's investment in mutual funds is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.

Derivative contracts: The estimated fair value of the derivative contracts is determined using industry standard valuation models. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and other factors. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Investments measured using net asset value

Private equity funds: This class of investments consists of private equity funds that invest primarily in loans and securities including single-family residential debt; corporate debt products; and financially-oriented, real-estate-rich and other operating companies in the Americas, Western Europe, and Japan. These investments are subject to certain restrictions regarding transfers and withdrawals. The investments cannot be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that

11. Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings per share ("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 the dilutive effect of the Notes and nonvested share awards, if dilutive. There has been no dilutive effect of the convertible senior notes since issuance through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. 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. The dilutive effect of nonvested shares is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the vesting of nonvested shares would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.

12. Income Taxes:

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to the provision for income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

On May 10, 2017, the Company reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding the IRS assertion that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method did not clearly reflect taxable income. In accordance with the settlement, the Company changed its tax accounting method used to recognize finance receivables revenue effective with tax year 2017. Under the new method, a portion of the annual collections amortizes principal and the remaining portion is taxable income. The deferred tax liability related to the difference in timing between the new method and the cost recovery method has been incorporated evenly into the Company’s tax filings over four years effective with tax year ~~2017.~~2017 and ending with tax year 2020. The Company was not required to pay any interest or penalties in connection with the settlement.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ~~(CARES)~~("CARES") Act was enacted into U.S. law in response to COVID-19 with varying legislation enacted in many of the countries in which the Company operates. While the Company is continuing to evaluate impact, ~~it intends to implement~~the Company has implemented the tax payment and filing deferral provisions as applicable on a global basis and does not believe that any of the other provisions will have a material impact to its financial reporting. As ~~international~~ tax legislative updates continue to be released, they will be monitored by the Company.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the tax years subject to examination by the major federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions are 2013 and subsequent years.

The Company intends for predominantly all international earnings to be indefinitely reinvested in its international ~~operations and,~~operations; therefore, the recording of deferred tax liabilities for such unremitted earnings is not required. If international earnings were repatriated, the Company may need to accrue and pay taxes, although foreign tax credits may be available to partially reduce U.S. income taxes. The amount of cash on hand related to international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings was ~~$115.4~~$96.7 million and $109.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies:

Employment Agreements:

The Company has entered into employment agreements, most of which expire on December 31, 2020, with all of its U.S. executive officers and with several members of its U.S. senior management group. Such agreements provide for base salary payments as well as potential discretionary bonuses that take into consideration the Company’s overall performance against its short and long-term financial and strategic objectives. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, estimated future compensation under these agreements was approximately ~~$6.2~~$4.0 million. The agreements also contain confidentiality and non-compete provisions. Outside the U.S., employment agreements are in place with employees pursuant to local country regulations. Generally, these agreements do not have expiration dates and therefore it is impractical to estimate the amount of future compensation under these agreements. Accordingly, the future compensation under these agreements is not included in the ~~$6.2~~$4.0 million total above.

~~PRA Group, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

Forward Flow Agreements:

The Company is party to several forward flow agreements that allow for the purchase of nonperforming loans at pre-established prices. The maximum remaining amount to be purchased under forward flow agreements at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, was approximately ~~$629.2~~$383.7 million.

Finance Receivables:

Certain agreements for the purchase of finance receivables portfolios contain provisions that may, in limited circumstances, require the Company to refund a portion or all of the collections subsequently received by the Company on particular accounts. The potential refunds as of the balance sheet date are not considered to be significant.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters:

The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time subject to a variety of routine legal and regulatory claims, inquiries and proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company initiates lawsuits against customers and is occasionally countersued by them in such actions. Also, customers, either individually, as members of a class action, or through a governmental entity on behalf of customers, may initiate litigation against the Company in which they allege that the Company has violated a state or federal law in the process of collecting on an

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

account. From time to time, other types of lawsuits are brought against the Company. Additionally, the Company receives subpoenas and other requests or demands for information from regulators or governmental authorities who are investigating the Company's debt collection activities.

The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account the Company's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the number of unresolved issues in many of the proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings. In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter's current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more than the current estimate.

The Company believes that the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued for its legal proceedings outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, where the range of loss can be estimated, was not material.

In certain legal proceedings, the Company may have recourse to insurance or third-party contractual indemnities to cover all or portions of its litigation expenses, judgments, or settlements. Loss estimates and accruals for potential liability related to legal proceedings are typically exclusive of potential recoveries, if any, under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities. ~~During the year ended~~At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company ~~recorded~~had $1.8 million and $1.0 million in recoveries receivable under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities, ~~which is~~respectively. These amounts are included in other receivables, net ~~at December 31, 2019.~~in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~Matters that are not considered routine legal proceedings were~~The matter below, in addition to the matters disclosed previously in the 2019 Form ~~10-K.~~10-K, fall outside of the normal parameters of the Company's routine legal proceedings.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") Litigation

On January 25, 2017, the Company settled the matter of In Re Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation, which consisted of a number of class actions and single plaintiff claims consolidated by order of the Panel for Multi-District Litigation ("MDL"). While the settlement disposed of a large number of claims, several hundred class members opted out ("Opt-Out Plaintiffs") of that settlement. Many of these Opt-Out Plaintiffs have been consolidated before the MDL appointed court, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and are pending a determination on cross-motions for summary judgment. On July 9, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in the matter of Facebook v. Duguid to resolve the split between the Circuit Courts of Appeal on the issue of the definition of an Automatic Telephone Dialing System. A decision in that case is expected to be dispositive of many or all TCPA matters currently pending, most of which are now stayed as a result of the grant of certiorari. The range of loss, if any, cannot be estimated at this time due to the uncertainty surrounding liability.

14. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

Recently issued accounting standards adopted:

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 on a prospective basis. Prior to January 1, 2020, substantially all of the Company's investment in finance receivables were accounted for under ASC 310-30. Refer to Note 2 for comprehensive details.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04 which eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity performs its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the

~~PRA Group, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

test is necessary. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 which had no impact to the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:

Income Taxes

InIn December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”)~~, which simplifies the accounting~~. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments and calculating income ~~taxes. This standard~~taxes in interim periods. Additionally, it adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning af~~ter~~after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its c~~onsolidated~~consolidated financial statements and expects ~~that the~~to adopt January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect adoption ~~of the standard will result in additional and modified disclosures.~~to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Investments-Equity Securities

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815” (“ASU 2020-01”). ASU 2020-01 clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. Additionally, it clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. This standard is effective for public entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-01 but does not expect adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective immediately for a limited time through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04.

Overview

We are a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans.

We are headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, and as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, employed ~~4,014~~3,793 full time equivalents. Our shares of common stock are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "PRAA".

COVID-19 Update

The ~~recent outbreak of~~ COVID-19 ~~which was declared a~~ pandemic ~~by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020,~~ has ~~led~~continued to ~~adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and created uncertainty. Since the initial outbreak was reported, all states in the U.S. have declared states of emergency and COVID-19 has spread to~~adversely impact all countries in which we operate. As a result, we ~~have implemented our~~continue to operate in business continuity mode globally. Our business continuity plans including remote work practices where possible and have leveraged existing space to follow social distancing guidelines. To date, the pandemic has not prevented our ability to operate the business and we have continued to take steps necessaryseek to minimize ~~impact or disruption~~disruptions to our global ~~operations. We believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand, or access~~operations while complying with country-specific, federal, state and local laws, regulations and governmental actions related to the capital markets to provide liquidity, to continue normal business operations. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for further discussion. Furthermore, the pandemic presents potential new risks which are difficult to reasonably estimate. As a result, the impact COVID-19 may havepandemic. Impacts on our business, results of operations orand financial condition have included:

•a reduction in U.S. staffing in mid-March 2020, which returned to almost normal levels by the end of April and remains at these levels;

•an increase in U.S. Core cash collections, which we believe is ~~also difficult~~due to ~~predict.~~our increased ability to contact customers and customers choosing to use additional discretionary funds to voluntarily resolve their debts;

•a decrease in the volume of U.S. accounts sent through the legal channel, due to our decision to temporarily pause placing accounts into a legal eligible status, along with the closure of courts in many of our European countries, which resulted in decreased legal collection costs;

•decreases in certain expenses such as communications expenses due to mailing decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic and interruptions in postal mailings and deliveries; and

•decreased portfolio purchases due to deferrals by sellers of nonperforming loan portfolio sales.

Funds generated from operations and from cash collections on finance receivables, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and recent modifications to the terms of those facilities, have been sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, debt maturities and additional portfolio purchases during the pandemic.

Our analysis of the current and future impact of COVID-19 on our operations is based on management’s constant monitoring of key data and information, including (1) changes in laws, regulations and governmental actions, (2) trends in the macroeconomic environment, consumer behavior and key operational metrics such as cash collections and (3) conditions in the nonperforming loan market. However, we cannot predict the full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition due to the numerous evolving factors associated with the pandemic. See ~~discussion in~~Part I, Item 2 “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A ~~- “Risk Factors”.~~

"Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

(1) Cash collections adjusted refers to 2019 cash collections remeasured using 2020 exchange rates.

Cash collections were ~~$494.6~~$509.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, an increase of ~~$33.4~~$39.7 million, or ~~7.2%~~8.4%, compared to ~~$461.2~~$470.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. The increase was largely due to increases in Americas Core and Europe Core cash collections, partially offset by the overall economic disruption in the last two weeks of the quarter. Americas Core cash collections increased $15.1 million, or 5.2%, mainly driven by higher U.S. legal collections and an increase in Other Americas, slightly offset by lowerour U.S. call center and other ~~collections. The U.S. legal~~ collections, ~~increase of $9.9~~including increased collections through our digital platform, increasing $59.4 million, or ~~10.4%~~37.0%, primarily due to what we believe to be various circumstances that have provided U.S. consumers with additional discretionary funds and a willingness to voluntarily resolve their debts. The increase was ~~due primarily to a higher number of accounts placed in the legal channel. Other Americas increased $6.8~~partially offset by an $11.1 million, or ~~25.6%~~22.3%, ~~primarily~~decrease in cash collections for Americas Insolvency, mainly as a result of ~~increased portfolio purchasing in South America. Furthermore,~~investment levels not offsetting the ~~increase~~runoff of ~~$14.5~~older portfolios and a $6.1 million, or ~~12.4%~~18.8%, decrease in ~~Europe Core~~ cash collections ~~reflects higher 2019 purchases.~~for Other Americas Core, due to the strengthening of the U.S dollar and investment levels not offsetting the runoff of older portfolios. Furthermore, our U.S. legal collections were slightly lower by $4.3 million, or 4.2%, reflecting a decision we made to temporarily pause placing accounts into a legal eligible status in the U.S. as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These legal collection activities largely returned to normal operations in June.

Revenues

A summary of our revenue generation during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (amounts in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,						For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019			2020		2019
Portfolio income	$	262,022		—		Portfolio income	$	248,284	$	—

Total revenues	$	251,784		$	245,877	Total revenues	$	271,910	$	252,057

Total revenues were ~~$251.8~~$271.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, an increase of ~~$5.9~~$19.8 million, or ~~2.4%~~7.9%, compared to ~~$245.9~~$252.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. ~~This~~The increase ~~was driven by higher~~is largely due to significant cash collections ~~somewhat~~overperformance in the quarter, partially offset by adjustments to our estimated remaining collections ~~mainly~~ to reflect our assumption that the ~~impact~~majority of ~~COVID-19 and lower fee income reflecting settlement~~the current quarter overperformance was primarily due to acceleration in the timing of cash collections rather than an increase to total expected collections. Additionally, we made forecast adjustments deemed appropriate given the current environment in ~~our claims processing company, Claims Compensation Bureau.~~which we are operating.

Net Allowance Charges

In 2019, under ASC ~~Topic~~ 310-30, net allowance charges were recorded for significant decreases in expected cash flows or a change in timing of cash flows which would otherwise require a reduction in the stated yield on a pool of accounts. Effective January 1, 2020, under ASC ~~Topic~~ 326, changes to expected cash flows are recorded in changes in expected recoveries within revenues.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were ~~$191.2~~$160.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$0.3~~$26.9 million, or ~~0.2%~~14.3%, compared to ~~$190.9~~$187.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Compensation and Employee Services

Compensation and employee services expenses were ~~$75.2~~$70.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, a decrease of ~~$4.4~~$9.3 million, or ~~5.5%~~11.7%, compared to ~~$79.6~~$79.8 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in the U.S. call center workforce ~~as we balance the volume between the legal collection channel~~due to efficiencies realized through technology, training and ~~call centers.~~data and analytics. Total full-time equivalents decreased to ~~4,014~~3,793 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, from ~~5,236~~4,863 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Legal Collection Fees

Legal collection fees represent contingent fees incurred for the cash collections generated by our independent third-party attorney network. Legal collection fees were ~~$14.6~~$13.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$1.5~~$0.6 million, or ~~11.5%~~4.2%, compared to ~~$13.1~~$14.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 primarily due to ~~an increase~~a slight decrease in external legal cash collections in the U.S.

Legal Collection Costs

Legal collection costs primarily consist of costs paid to courts where a lawsuit is filed for the purpose of attempting to collect on an account. Legal collection costs were ~~$34.4~~$19.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, a decrease of ~~$0.8~~$13.6 million, or ~~2.3%~~41.1%, compared to ~~$35.2~~$33.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects ~~slightly lower court costs~~a decision we made to temporarily pause placing accounts into a legal eligible status in the U.S., along with the closure of courts in many of our European countries, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These legal collection activities largely returned to normal operations in June.

Agency Fees

Agency fees primarily represent third-party collection fees. Agency fees were $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 20.8%, compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to lower cash collections in areas outside the ~~disruption in the last two weeks of the quarter resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, mostly offset by higher costs in Europe.~~U.S. where we utilize third party collection agencies.

Outside Fees and Services

Outside fees and services expenses were ~~$19.4~~$18.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, an increase of ~~$4.2~~$2.4 million, or ~~27.6%~~14.7%, compared to ~~$15.2~~$16.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to ahigher corporate legal expenses and higher fees associated with processing an increased number of ~~items that~~debit card transactions due to the increase in cash collections.

Communication

Communication expense primarily represents postage and telephone related expenses incurred as a result of our collection efforts. Communication expenses were ~~not material individually and higher consulting fees in 2020.~~$8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 18.5%, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects lower postage costs due to mailing decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash collections adjusted ⁽¹⁾	$	1,004,513	$	914,201	$	90,312

(1) Cash collections adjusted refers to 2019 cash collections remeasured using 2020 exchange rates.

Cash collections were $1,004.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $73.1 million, or 7.8%, compared to $931.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was largely due to our U.S. call center and other collections, including increased collections through our digital platform, increasing $57.8 million or 17.5%, primarily due to what we believe to be various circumstances that have provided U.S. consumers with additional discretionary funds and a willingness to voluntarily resolve their debts. Additionally, Europe cash collections increased $21.5 million, or 8.5%, reflecting higher 2019 purchases. Furthermore, our U.S. legal collections increased $5.6 million, or 2.8%, mainly due to a higher number of accounts placed in the legal channel in 2019 partially offset by, a decision we made to temporarily pause placing accounts into a legal eligible status in the U.S. as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These legal collection activities largely returned to normal operations in June. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $12.5 million, or 13.2%, in Americas Insolvency cash collections mainly reflectinginvestment levels not offsetting the runoff of older portfolios.

Revenues

A summary of our revenue generation during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (amounts in thousands):


	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
Portfolio income	$	510,306	$	—
Changes in expected recoveries	6,985		—


Income recognized on finance receivables	—		488,055
Fee income	4,848		9,081
Other revenue	1,555		798
Total revenues	$	523,694	$	497,934

Total revenues were $523.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $25.8 million, or 5.2%, compared to $497.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by a record level of portfolio purchases in 2019.

Net Allowance Charges

In 2019, under ASC 310-30, net allowance charges were recorded for significant decreases in expected cash flows or a change in timing of cash flows which would otherwise require a reduction in the stated yield on a pool of accounts. Effective January 1, 2020, under ASC 326, changes to expected cash flows are recorded in changes in expected recoveries within revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $351.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $26.5 million, or 7.0%, compared to $378.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Compensation and Employee Services

Compensation and employee services expenses were $145.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $13.9 million, or 8.7%, compared to $159.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in U.S. call center workforce due to efficiencies realized through technology, training and data and analytics. Total full-time equivalents decreased to 3,793 as of June 30, 2020, compared to 4,863 as of June 30, 2019.

Legal Collection Fees

Legal collection fees were $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.9 million, or 3.3%, compared to $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in external legal cash collections in the U.S. during the first quarter.

Legal Collection Costs

Legal collection costs were $54.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $14.4 million, or 21.1%, compared to $68.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease primarily reflects a decision we made to temporarily pause placing accounts into a legal eligible status in the U.S., along with the closure of courts in many of our European countries, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These legal collection activities largely returned to normal operations in June.

Agency Fees

Agency fees were $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 12.2%, compared to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash collections in areas outside the U.S. where we utilize third party collection agencies.

Outside Fees and Services

Outside fees and services expenses were $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $6.6 million, or 21.0%, compared to $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of higher corporate legal expenses and higher fees associated with processing an increased number of debit card transactions due to the increase in cash collections.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.7%, compared to $70.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher levels of outstanding borrowings partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Interest expense, net consisted of the following for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (amounts in thousands):


	For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Net Foreign Currency Transaction Gains

Foreign currency transaction gains were $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower foreign currency gains in Europe and slightly lower gains on U.S. dollar linked investments held in ~~Brazil.~~Brazil during the first quarter.

The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to higher income before income taxes which increased $52.4 million or 108.9%. The increase was partially offset by estimated return to provision adjustments ~~partially offset by changes in~~during the ~~mix of income between countries of operation.~~first quarter. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, our effective tax rate was ~~12.1%~~17.2%, compared to 18.6% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

The decrease was due to the mix of international earnings between jurisdictions.

Supplemental Performance Data

Finance Receivables Portfolio Performance

The following tables show certain data related to our finance receivables portfolios. Certain adjustments, as noted in the footnotes to these tables, have been made to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on ERC and purchase price multiples.

The accounts represented in the ~~insolvency~~Insolvency tables are those portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of purchase. This contrasts with accounts in our Core portfolios that file for bankruptcy/insolvency protection after we purchase them, which continue to be tracked in their corresponding Core portfolio. Core customers sometimes file for bankruptcy/insolvency protection subsequent to our purchase of the related Core portfolio. When this occurs, we adjust our collection practices to comply with bankruptcy/insolvency rules and procedures; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remain in the original Core portfolio. Insolvency accounts may be dismissed voluntarily or involuntarily subsequent to our purchase of the Insolvency portfolio. Dismissal occurs when the terms of the bankruptcy are not met by the petitioner. When this occurs, we are typically free to pursue collection outside of bankruptcy procedures; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remain in the original Insolvency pool.

Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, age of the receivables acquired, and changes in our operational efficiency. For example, increased pricing competition during the 2005 to 2008 period negatively impacted purchase price multiples of our Core portfolio compared to prior years. Conversely, during the 2009 to 2011 period, additional supply occurred as a result of the economic downturn. This created unique and advantageous purchasing opportunities, particularly within the Insolvency market, relative to the prior four years. Purchase price multiples can also vary among types of finance receivables. For example, we generally incur lower collection costs on our Insolvency portfolio compared with our Core portfolio. This allows us, in general, to pay more for an Insolvency portfolio and experience lower purchase price multiples, while generating similar net income margins when compared with a Core portfolio.

When competition increases and/or supply decreases, pricing often becomes negatively impacted relative to expected collections, and yields tend to trend lower. The opposite tends to occur when competition decreases and/or supply increases.

Within a given portfolio type, to the extent that lower purchase price multiples are the result of more competitive pricing and lower net yields, this will generally lead to lower profitability. As portfolio pricing becomes more favorable on a relative basis, our profitability will tend to increase. Profitability within given Core portfolio types may also be impacted by the age and quality of the receivables, which impact the cost to collect those accounts. Fresher accounts, for example, typically carry lower associated collection expenses, while older accounts and lower balance accounts typically carry higher costs and, as a result, require higher purchase price multiples to achieve the same net profitability as fresher paper.

Revenue recognition under ASC 310-10 and ASC ~~Topic~~ 326 is driven by estimates of the amount and timing of collections. We record new portfolio acquisitions at the purchase price which reflects the amount we expect to collect discounted at an effective interest rate. During the year of acquisition, the annual pool is aggregated and the blended effective interest rate will change to reflect new buying and new cash flow estimates until the end of the year. At that time, the effective interest rate is fixed at the amount we expect to collect discounted at the rate to equate purchase price to the recovery estimate. During the first year of purchase, we typically do not allow purchase price multiples to expand. Subsequent to the initial year, as we gain collection experience and confidence with a pool of accounts, we regularly update ERC. As a result, our estimate of total collections has often increased as pools have aged. These processes have tended to cause the ratio of ERC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase over time. Thus, all factors being equal in terms of pricing, one would typically tend to see a higher collection to purchase price ratio from a pool of accounts that was six years from acquisition than a pool that was just two years from acquisition.

The numbers presented in the following tables represent gross cash collections and do not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, they may not represent relative profitability. Due to all the factors described above, readers should be cautious when making comparisons of purchase price multiples among periods and between types of receivables.

The following chart shows our ERC of ~~$6,531.2~~$6,352.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 by geographical region (amounts in millions).

Seasonality

Cash collections in the Americas tend to be higher in the first half of the year due to the high volume of income tax refunds received by individuals in the U.S., and trend lower as the year progresses. Customer payment patterns in all of the countries in which we operate can be affected by seasonal employment trends, income tax refunds, and holiday spending habits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We actively manage our liquidity to help provide access to sufficient funding to meet our business needs and financial obligations. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$180.0~~$115.7 million. Of the cash and cash equivalent balance as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, ~~$115.4~~$96.7 million consisted of cash on hand related to international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. See the "Undistributed Earnings of International Subsidiaries" section below for more information.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we had approximately ~~$2.8~~$2.6 billion in borrowings outstanding with ~~$655.4~~$905.3 million of availability under all of our credit facilities (subject to the borrowing base and applicable debt covenants). Considering borrowing base restrictions, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the amount available to be drawn was ~~$234.6~~$414.0 million. Of the ~~$655.4~~$905.3 million of borrowing availability, ~~$281.7~~$340.0 million was available under our European credit facility, ~~$371.2~~$562.3 million was available under our North American credit facility and ~~$2.5~~$3.0 million was available under our Colombian revolving credit facility. Of the ~~$234.6~~$414.0 million available considering borrowing base restrictions, ~~$56.4~~$97.4 million was available under our European credit facility, ~~$175.7~~$313.6 million was available under our North American credit facility and ~~$2.5~~$3.0 million was available under the Colombian revolving credit facility. For more information, see Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

An additional funding source for our Europe operations is interest-bearing deposits. Per the terms of our European credit facility, we are permitted to obtain interest-bearing deposit funding of up to SEK 1.2 billion (approximately ~~$119.7~~$128.5 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020). Interest-bearing deposits as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 were ~~$97.5~~$120.5 million.

We determined that we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing arrangements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

We have the ability to slow the purchase of finance receivables if necessary, ~~with low impact to current year~~and use the net cash ~~collections. For example, we invested $1,289.3 million in portfolio acquisitions in 2019. The portfolios acquired in 2019~~flow generated ~~$210.2 million of~~from our cash collections ~~representing only 11.4% of 2019 cash collections.~~from our existing finance receivables to temporarily service our debt and fund existing operations.

Contractual obligations over the next year are primarily related to debt maturities and purchase commitments. Our North American credit facility expires in May 2022. Our European credit facility expires in February 2023. Of our ~~$422.5~~$420.0 million in term loans outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, $10.0 million in principal is due within one year.

~~Additionally, the~~At June 30, 2020, we had outstanding $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of ~~the~~ 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due ~~2020 is due on~~ August 1, 2020. ~~Based upon our current availability considering borrowing base restrictions~~Subsequently, we retired the notes in ~~North America ($175.7 million), our~~full through repurchase and cash ~~on hand, the recent modifications~~settlement in connection with their maturity. For more information, see Note 15 to our ~~credit facilities, our ability~~Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part. I, Item 1 to ~~secure additional financing in the open market, and our strong operating cash flows, we believe that we have the ability to settle~~ this ~~instrument in cash at maturity.~~Quarterly Report.

We have in place forward flow commitments for the purchase of nonperforming loans primarily over the next 12 months with a maximum purchase price of ~~$626.5~~$383.1 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. The ~~$626.5~~$383.1 million is comprised of ~~$443.0~~$271.7 million for the Americas and ~~$183.5~~$111.4 million for ~~Europe.We~~Europe. We may also enter into new or renewed forward flow commitments and close on spot transactions in addition to the aforementioned forward flow agreements.

In May 2017, we reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in regard to the IRS assertion that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method did not clearly reflect taxable income. In accordance with the settlement, our tax accounting method to recognize finance receivables revenue changed effective with tax year 2017. Under the new method, a portion of the annual collections amortizes principal and the remaining portion is taxable income. The revenue related to the difference in timing between the new method and the cost recovery method has been included evenly into our tax filings over four years effective with tax year ~~2017.~~2017 and ending with tax year 2020. We estimate the related tax payments to be approximately $9.2 million per quarter through the year 2020. No interest or penalties were assessed as part of the settlement.

We continue to monitor the recent outbreak of COVID-19 on our operations and how that may impact our cash flows and our ability to settle debt. As a result of COVID-19, global financial markets have experienced overall volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets. We believe that funds generated from operations and from cash collections on finance receivables, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, ~~and~~including recent modifications to the terms of those 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 during the next 12 months. We may, however, seek to access the debt or equity capital markets as market conditions permit. Business acquisitions, adverse outcomes in pending litigation or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing from other sources.

Cash Flows Analysis

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities mainly reflects cash collections recognized as revenue partially offset by cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. Key drivers of operating activities were adjusted for (i) non-cash items included in net income such as provisions for unrealized gains and losses, changes in expected recoveries, depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes, fair value ~~change of derivatives,~~changes in equity securities, and stock-based compensation as well as (ii) changes in the balances of operating assets and liabilities, which can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased ~~$31.8~~$91.6 million ~~for~~during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, mainly driven by ~~a $31.5 million~~higher cash collections, lower operating expenses, the impact of unrealized foreign currency transactions and ~~changes in expected recoveries compared to the prior~~

~~year net allowance charges. These increases are partially offset by deferred taxes and changes in other operating assets and liabilities.~~lower levels of income tax payments.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities mainly reflects recoveries applied to our negative allowance. Cash used in investing activities mainly reflects acquisitions of nonperforming loans. ~~Cash~~

Net cash provided by investing activities ~~mainly reflects~~increased $265.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily from a $113.3 million decrease in purchases of nonperforming loans, a $58.2 million increase in recoveries applied to negative ~~allowances.~~

~~Net cash used~~allowance in ~~investing activities decreased $70.7 million or 62.6% during~~ the ~~three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily from~~current year versus of collections applied to principal in the prior year, a ~~$82.7~~$72.8 million decrease in ~~investment~~net purchases of investments and $57.6 million of cash used related to a business acquisition during the first quarter of 2019. These ~~decreases~~changes were partially offset by ~~a $42.3 million increase in proceeds from sales and maturities of investments and~~ $31.2 million of cash received during the first quarter of 2019 related to the sale of a subsidiary in the fourth quarter of ~~2018.~~2018 and a $5.0 million increase in net purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash ~~for~~provided by financing activities is normally provided by draws on our lines of credit and proceeds from debt offerings. Cash used in financing activities is primarily driven by principal payments on our lines of credit and long-term debt.

Cash ~~provided by~~used in financing activities ~~decreased $33.3~~increased $349.8 million ~~or 31.6%~~ during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, primarily from a ~~$222.8~~$373.9 million decrease in proceeds from our lines of credit, ~~and~~ a ~~$17.8~~$14.8 million decrease in cash provided by interest-bearing deposits and an $8.0 million increase in distributions paid to noncontrolling interests. These changes were partially offset by a ~~$208.2~~$48.6 million ~~decrease~~increase in ~~principal~~net payments on our lines of credit, ~~notes payables~~origination costs and long-term debt.

Undistributed Earnings of International Subsidiaries

We intend to use predominantly all of our accumulated and future undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries to expand operations outside the U.S.; therefore, such undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Accordingly, no provision for income tax and withholding tax has been provided thereon. If management's intentions change and eligible undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries are repatriated, we could be subject to additional income taxes and withholding taxes. This could result in a higher effective tax rate in the period in which such a decision is made to repatriate accumulated or future undistributed international earnings. The amount of cash on hand related to international operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings was ~~$115.4~~$96.7 million and $109.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Refer to Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements

included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further information related to our income taxes and undistributed international earnings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements see Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities.

Three of these policies are considered to be critical because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and because they require management to make judgments and estimates that are difficult, subjective, and complex regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

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.

Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition - Finance Receivables

We account for the majority of our investment in finance receivables under the guidance of ASC Topic 310 “Receivables” (“ASC ~~Topic~~ 310”) and ASC Topic 326-20 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost” (“ASC ~~Topic~~ 326-20”). Revenue recognition for finance receivables involves the use of estimates and the exercise of judgment on the part of management. These estimates include projections of the quantity and timing of future cash flows and economic lives of our pools of finance receivables. Significant changes in such estimates could result in increased or decreased revenue as we immediately recognize the discounted value of such changes using the constant effective interest rate of the pool.

We account for our finance receivables as follows:

We create each annual accounting pool using our projections of estimated cash flows and expected economic life. We then compute a constant effective interest rate based on the net carrying amount of the pool and reasonable projections of estimated cash flows and expectation of its economic life. As actual cash flow results are received we record the time value of the expected cash as portfolio income and over and under performance and changes in expected future cash flows from expected cash as ~~change~~changes in expected recoveries. We review each pool watching for trends, actual performance versus projections and curve shape (a graphical depiction of the timing of cash flows). We then re-forecast future cash flows by applying discounted cash flow methodologies to our ERC and recognize income over the estimated life of the pool at the constant effective interest rate of the pool.

Significant judgment is used in evaluating expected recoveries using the discounted cash flow approach and the estimated life of the pool.

Valuation of Acquired Intangibles and Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), we amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill, pursuant to ASC 350, is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment under the qualitative assessment option. If we qualitatively determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

We determine the fair value of a reporting unit by applying the approaches prescribed under the fair value measurement accounting framework: the income approach and the market approach. Depending on the availability of public data and suitable comparables, we may or may not use the market approach or we may emphasize the results from the approach differently. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and a residual terminal value. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates, operating margins, necessary working capital, and capital expenditure requirements, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on prices and other relevant market transactions involving comparable publicly-traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to the reporting unit.

Income Taxes

We are subject to the income tax laws of the various jurisdictions in which we operate, including U.S. federal, state, local, and international jurisdictions. These tax laws are complex and are subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. When determining our domestic and international income tax expense, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex laws.

We follow the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to the provision for income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes. Accordingly, we record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. In accordance with ASC 740, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with the guidance is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: ~~the Company determines~~we determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, ~~the Company~~

we should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

In the event that all or part of the deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, a valuation allowance would be established and charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. If we subsequently realize deferred tax assets that were previously determined to be unrealizable, the respective valuation allowance would be reversed, resulting in a positive adjustment to earnings in the period such determination is made. The establishment or release of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the use of loss ~~carry-forwards~~carryforwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our activities are subject to various financial risks including market risk, currency and interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk. Our financial risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance. We may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, typically interest rate and currency derivatives, to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt, fluctuations in currency rates and their impact on earnings and cash flows. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments with a level of complexity or with a risk greater than the exposure to be managed nor do we enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of non-performance, or credit risk. We do not believe that we currently face a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments, as these transactions were executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions with an investment-grade credit rating. Our intention is to spread our counterparty credit risk across a number of counterparties so that exposure to a single counterparty is minimized.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk from outstanding borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities. As such, our consolidated financial results are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the market rate of interest. We assess this interest rate risk by estimating the increase or decrease in interest expense that would occur due to a change in short-term interest rates. The borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities were approximately ~~$2.2~~$2.0 billion as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. Based on our ~~current~~ debt structure at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, assuming a 50 basis point decrease in interest rates, for example, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease by an estimated ~~$7.5~~$3.4 million. Assuming a 50 basis point increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would increase by an estimated ~~$7.7~~$3.4 million.

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest and to be in compliance with the terms of our European credit facility, we have entered into interest rate derivative contracts for a portion of our borrowings under our floating rate financing arrangements. We apply hedge accounting to certain of our interest rate derivative contracts. By applying hedge accounting, changes in market value are reflected as adjustments in Other Comprehensive Income. All derivatives to which we have applied hedge accounting were evaluated and ~~remain~~remained highly effective at ~~March~~June 30, 2020. Terms of the interest rate derivative contracts require us to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. The sensitivity calculations above consider the impact of our interest rate derivative contracts.

Currency Exchange Risk

We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we generated ~~$98.4~~$79.6 million of revenues from operations outside the U.S. and used eleven functional currencies, excluding the U.S. dollar. Weakness in one particular currency might be offset by strength in other currencies over time.

As a result of our international operations, fluctuations in foreign currencies could cause us to incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses, and could adversely affect our comprehensive income and stockholders' equity. Additionally, our reported financial results could change from period to period due solely to fluctuations between currencies.

Foreign currency gains and losses are primarily the result of the re-measurement of transactions in certain other currencies into an entity's functional currency. Foreign currency gains and losses are included as a component of other income and (expense) in our Consolidated Income Statements. From time to time we may elect to enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to reduce these variations in our Consolidated Income Statements.

When an entity's functional currency is different than the reporting currency of its parent, foreign currency translation adjustments may occur. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of other comprehensive (loss)/income in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and as a component of equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have taken measures to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We have organized our European operations so that portfolio ownership and collections generally occur within the same entity. Our European credit facility is a multi-currency facility, allowing us to better match funding and portfolio acquisitions by currency. We actively monitor the value of our finance receivables by currency. In the event adjustments are required to our liability composition by currency we may, from time to time, execute re-balancing foreign exchange contracts to more closely align funding and portfolio acquisitions by currency.

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,~~June 30, 2020, 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,~~June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For information regarding legal proceedings as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~With the exception of the following, there~~There have been no ~~other~~ material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our ~~fiscal 2019 Form 10-K.~~

~~The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial results.~~

In December 2019, a COVID-19 outbreak was reported in China. By March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and to date, all countries in which we operate have acted to address the spread of COVID-19 including restricting travel, closing country borders, banning gatherings of unrelated individuals, quarantining and isolating infected individuals, closing schools and non-essential businesses and establishing criteria that must be met before businesses reopen. The global spread of COVID-19 has disrupted normal business operations and resulted in significant unemployment, recessionary economic trends and overall volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption.

To date, we have continued to operate our business considering governmental, legal and regulatory actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are able to monitor on a daily basis the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, operations, and financial results and to take steps to mitigate adverse effects including communicating with regulators and government officials concerning legislation and regulations that impact our business, enabling employees to work remotely, implementing social distancing in workplaces that remain open, monitoring global operations on a daily basis to quickly identify COVID-19 impacts and expanding our credit capacity.

Although it is difficult to predict the extent to which COVID-19 will impact us due to numerous evolving factors that we are unable to predict, the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition if:

~~the duration and scope of the pandemic result in deterioration in the economic or inflationary environment in the Americas or Europe;~~

political, legal and regulatory actions and policies in response to the pandemic prevent us from performing our collection activities or result in material increases in our costs to comply with such laws and regulations;

~~consumers respond to COVID-19 by failing to pay amounts owed to us as a result of their unemployment or other factors that impact their ability to make payments;~~

we are unable to maintain staffing at the levels necessary to operate our business due to extended lockdowns, governmental actions that result in our business operations being deemed non-essential or continued spread of COVID-19 causing employees to be unable or unwilling to work;

~~we are unable to collect on existing nonperforming loans or experience material decreases in our cash collections;~~

~~we are unable to purchase nonperforming loans needed to operate our business because debt owners become unable or unwilling to sell their nonperforming loans consistent with recent levels; or~~

~~we suffer a cyber incident as a result of increased vulnerability while a larger number of our employees work remotely.~~

~~Any of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties identified in our fiscal~~ 2019 Form 10-K and ~~could materially adversely affect~~in Part II, Item 1A of our ~~business, operations, and financial results.~~2020 First Quarter Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

~~On May 6, 2020, we entered into the Second Amendment to the North American Credit Facility that includes:~~None.

The consolidated total leverage ratio limit will increase to 3.25 from 2.75 effective after June 30, 2020 and through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the consolidated total leverage ratio limit will decrease to 3.0 until maturity.

~~The LIBOR floor increases from zero to 1.00% on the revolving loans.~~

~~The consolidated senior secured leverage ratio limit will increase from 2.25 to 2.75 until March 31, 2021. On March 31, 2021, the senior secured leverage ratio will decrease to 2.25 until maturity.~~

The ERC borrowing base on all domestic Core eligible pools will increase from 35% to 40% effective July 31, 2020 until January 31, 2021. If the ERC advance rate drops to 35% or below during this period, the ERC borrowing base will return to 35%.

Bank of America, National Association, Capital One, N.A., Fifth Third Bank and SunTrust Bank, DNB Capital, ING Capital, MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and Regions Bank and their respective affiliates, who are lenders and serve in various capacities under the North American Credit Agreement, have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company, the Borrowers or their affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2020.
