PRA Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. 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.").
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, 2022,2023, its Consolidated Income Statements and Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022, have been included. The Company's Consolidated Income Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 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, 20212022 (the "2021"2022 Form 10-K").
Reclassification of prior year presentation: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Fee income is now included within Other revenue on the Consolidated Income Statements.
Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PRA Group and other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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 or exercise control, are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting, which requires the Company to recognize its proportionate share of the entity’sentity's net earnings. TheseIncome or loss from these investments are included in Other assets, with income or lossis included in Other revenue.
The Company performs on-going reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with an entity would cause the Company’s consolidation conclusionconclusions to change.
Segments: The Company has determined that it has two operating segments that meet the aggregation criteria of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280") and, therefore, it has 1one reportable segment,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.

In order to make estimates ofestimate future cash collections, the Company considered historical performance and current economic forecasts, as well as expectations for short-term and long-term growth and consumer habits in the various geographies in which the Company operates. The Company considered recent collection activity in its determination to adjust assumptions related to estimated remaining collections ("ERC") for certain pools. Based on these considerations, the Company’s estimates of ERC incorporate changes in both amounts and in the timing of expected cash collections over the forecast period.
Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were a net positive $21.1 million. This includes $25.3 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance) and a $4.2 million negative adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. The $25.3 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast was largely due to overperformance generated from larger than expected one-time payments in Europe and performance on new vintages in South America.
Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were a net positive $56.6 million. This reflectsincludes $35.9 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast, reflecting strong cash collections overperformance in Europe and a $20.7 million positive adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. The changes in expected future recoveries reflects the Company's assessment of certain older pools, where continued strong performance has resulted in an increase to the Company's forecasted ERC. The Company continues to believe that the majority of the overperformance it has experienced in its more recent pools was due to acceleration in the timing of cash collections rather than an increase in total expected collections.
Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were a net positive $63.5 million. This reflected $75.4 million in recoveries received in excess of forecast, which was largely due to significant cash collections overperformance in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by an $11.8 million negative adjustment to changes in expected future recoveries. The changes in expected future recoveries reflectedincluded the Company's assumption that the majority of the overperformance was due to acceleration in the timing of cash collections. The Company also made near-term adjustments to expected future collections combined with adjustments in somecertain geographies, to increase near-term expected collections, to bringbringing them in line with recent performance trends, with corresponding reductionsadjustments made later in thatthe forecast period.

8. Fair Value:
As defined by ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement 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 differingdifferent input levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.
Those levels of input are summarizedvalue, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
22

PRA Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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
22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
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

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 due to the short-term nature of the instruments and the observable quoted prices for identical assets that can be found in active markets. Accordingly, the Company estimates theuses Level 1 inputs for its fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs.estimates.
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.estimate.
Term loan: 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 estimate.

Senior Notes and Convertible Notes: The fair value estimates for the Senior Notes and the Convertible 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.

Exchange traded funds: Fair value of the Company's investment in exchange traded funds is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.
Mutual funds: Fair value of the Company's investment in mutual fundssecurities is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.
Derivative contracts: The estimated fairFair value of the derivative contracts is determinedestimated 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 ("NAV")
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 distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. The investments are expected to be returned through distributions as a result of liquidationsliquidation of the funds' underlyingunderlying assets over one to five years. The fair value of these private equity funds following the application of the NAV practical expedient was $5.0$3.4 million and $5.1and $4.4 million as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Outside the U.S., the Company has entered into employment agreements with certain employees pursuant to local country regulations. Generally, these agreements do not have expiration dates. As a result, 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 $10.2$4.4 million total above.total above.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 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,claim, 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 June 30, 2022,2023, 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.
Matters that are not considered routineAs of June 30, 2023, there were no material developments in natureany of the legal proceedings were disclosed previously in the 2021Company's 2022 Form 10-K.10-K, or March 31, 2023 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and there were no new material legal proceedings during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
Recently issued accounting standards adopted:
Reference Rate Reform
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Overall" ("ASU 2021-01"). ASU 2021-01 expands the scope of Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 848") to include derivatives affected by the discounting transition for certain optional expedients and exceptions. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for a limited time through December 31, 2022. The Company assessed whether amendments and modifications to its swap agreements and borrowing agreements qualify for any optional expedients. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company elected certain optional expedients under ASC 848 to maintain cash flow hedge accounting for swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $422.8 million after interest rate swaps that were indexed to GDP-LIBOR converted to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), effective January 1, 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company exited the relief provisions under ASC 848 after updating the hedged risk on these cash flow hedges to reflect SONIA-based cash flows expected to occur under the UK Credit Agreement.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:
The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe our cash forecast curves are appropriate given the information we have as of the date of this Quarterly Report. However, we continue to monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to date, have been able to mitigate the effects on our overall operations. During the first half of 2022, the trends we experiencedoperate in the latter part of 2021 have largely continued with the easing or lifting of COVID-19 restrictions leading to increased consumer spending and travel. Leading financial industry publications have indicatedan economic environment that excess consumer liquidity has resulted in lower levels of charge offs across most lending institutions. As a result, this has caused a decrease in the supply of fresh portfolios available for purchase in the U.S. resulting in a lower level of portfolio purchases and pricing pressures. We expect these trends to continue in the near-term; however, consistent with our experience during previous economic cycles, we believe charge offs will increase leading to a greater level of supply, which we anticipate could occur in the coming months. For additional information regarding our response to COVID-19, see Part I, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to our 2021 Form 10-K.
Furthermore, the combination of robust demand for goods and services and supply chain constraints lingering from the prior year have contributed toincludes elevated levels of inflation. The Russian invasioninflation, rising interest rates, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and concerns of Ukraine, includinga global recession. Given the resulting sanctions on Russia, has caused a shock to the energy markets increasing the inflationarycontinuing weak economic conditions, there may be some near-term pressure on energy costs.cash collections. Note that factors that can cause near-term collections pressure are also typically the same factors that historically have led to more portfolio supply, as consumers struggle to manage and pay down their debt. We cannot predict the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, the inflationary environment or the Russian invasion of the Ukrainethese items will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition due to numerous evolving factors. See Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our 2021 Form 10-K.condition.

Additionally, and primarily impacting the first quarter of $3.72023, we experienced a softer tax season than we had anticipated, with U.S. collections lower than our expectations, which then prompted a reduction in forward-looking ERC. This resulted in a negative $31.1 million comparednet present value adjustment for our U.S. Core portfolio, with nearly half of this adjustment related to $4.6the 2021 U.S. Core vintage. This vintage includes the cohort of customers whose accounts were charged-off in peak stimulus periods. We believe this effect, along with inflation and other macroeconomic factors, to be the drivers of the underperformance. In total, Europe overperformed our expectations by 7.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This is a lower margin than we experienced in prior quarters, and given the uncertain economic conditions globally, we made fewer adjustments to the forward-looking ERC than in the prior year.

Supplemental Performance Data
Finance Receivables Portfolio Performance
We purchase portfolios of nonperforming loans from a variety of credit originators or acquire portfolios through business acquisitions and segregate them into two main portfolio segments:segments; Core or Insolvency, based on the status of the account upon acquisition. In addition, the accounts are further segregated into geographical regions based upon where the account was purchased. Theacquired. Ultimately, accounts represented in the Insolvency tables below are those portfoliosaggregated into annual pools based on portfolio segment, geography, and year of acquisition.Portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of purchase. This contrasts withacquisition are represented in the Insolvency tables below.All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included in our Core portfolios that fileportfolio tables as represented below.Once an account is initially segregated, it is not later transferred from an Insolvency pool to a Core pool or vice versa, and the account continues to be accounted for bankruptcy/as originally segregated regardless of any future changes in operational status. Specifically, if a Core account files for bankruptcy or 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,acquisition, we adjust our collection practices to comply with bankruptcy/any respective bankruptcy or insolvency rules and procedures;or policies; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remainthe account remains in the original Core pool. Insolvency accounts may beIn the event an insolvency account is dismissed from its bankruptcy or insolvency status whether 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 alternative collection outside of bankruptcy procedures;activities; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remainthe account remains in the original Insolvency pool.
The purchase price multiple represents our estimate of total cash collections over the original purchase price of the portfolio. Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, paper type, age of the accounts acquired, mix of portfolios purchased, costs to collect, expected returns and changes in our operational efficiency.For example, increased pricing due to elevated levels of competition during the 2005 to 2008 periodor supply constraints negatively impactedimpacts purchase price multiples as we pay more to buy similar portfolios of our Corenonperforming loans.
Further, there is a direct relationship between the price we pay for a portfolio, compared to prior years. Conversely, during the 2009 to 2011 period, additional supply occurred as a resultpurchase price multiple and the effective interest rate of the economic downturn. This variance created uniquepool.When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and advantageous purchasing opportunities, particularly within the Insolvency market, relativeeffective interest rates are generally lower. The opposite tends to the prior four years. Purchase price multiples can also vary amongoccur when we pay less for a portfolio. Certain types of finance receivables. For example, we generally incuraccounts have lower collection costs, on our Insolvency portfolio compared with our Core portfolio. This allows us, in general, toand we generally pay more for an Insolvency portfolio and experiencethese types of accounts, resulting in a lower purchase price multiples,multiple, while generatingrealizing 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 effective interest rates tend to trend lower. The opposite tends to occur when competition decreases and/or supply increases.
other portfolio purchases. 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 accounts, which impact the cost to collect those accounts. Fresher accounts, for example, typically carry lower associated collection costs, 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 is driven by estimates of the amount and timing of future cash 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, theportfolios are aggregated into annual pool is aggregatedpools, 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 purchase price amount is fixed at the aggregated amounts paid to acquire the portfolio, 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. estimate, and the currency rates are fixed for purposes of comparability in future periods.Depending on the level of performance and expected future impacts from our operations, we may update ERC and TEC levels based on the results of our cash forecasting with the correlating adjustment to the purchase price multiple.We follow an established process to evaluate ERC.During the first yearyears following purchase, we typically do not allowadjust our purchase price multiples to expand. Subsequent tomultiples. Following the initial year,years, as we gain collection experience and confidence with a pool of accounts, we may update ERC. As a result,begin to increase our estimate of total collectionspurchase price multiples.Over time, our TEC has often increased as pools have aged. These processes have tended to causeaged resulting in the ratio of ERCTEC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase over time.increase. 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 of the factors described above, readers should be cautious when making comparisons of purchase price multiples among periods and between types of categories of portfolio segments and related geographies.

Seasonality
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. Typically 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. In the first quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2022, this spikeseasonal trend was not as pronounced. Additionally, 2021 and 2020 deviated from usual seasonal patterns due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, our management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), to evaluate our operating and financial performance as well as to set performance goals. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of operations and financial performance. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of operations and financial performance, as it excludes certain items whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business, and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report
43


similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with our GAAP financial measure, net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc., and is adjusted for:
income tax expense (or less income tax benefit);
foreign exchange loss (or less foreign exchange gain);
interest expense, net (or less interest income, net);
other expense (or less other income);
depreciation and amortization;
net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and
recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries.

Leases. The majority of ourOur leases have remaining lease terms of one to 15thirteen years. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had $60.7$55.7 million in lease liabilities, of which approximately $10.0approximately $10.4 million matures within the next 12 months. For more information, see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, ItemItem 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Employment AgreementsDerivatives. We haveDerivative financial instruments are entered into employment agreements with certain executive officers for approximately $10.2to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 2023, we had $9.1 million of derivative liabilities, all of which $6.8 million is payable if executedmature within the next 12 months. Our U.S. executive officer agreements mature in December 2023, while executive officer agreements entered into outside of the U.S. are pursuant to local country regulations and typically do not have expiration dates. For more information, see Note 127 to our Consolidated Financial Statements includedincluded in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
We believe that funds generated from operations and from cash collections on nonperforming loan portfolios, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the capital markets will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, debt maturities and additional portfolio purchases during the next 12 months and beyond. We may seek to access the debt or equity capital markets as we deem appropriate, market conditions permitting. Business acquisitions or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing from other sources.

Operating Activities
CashNet cash provided byby/(used in) operating activities mainly reflects cash collections recognized as revenue partially offset byand cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. Key drivers ofTo calculate net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, werenet income/(loss) was 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 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 used in operating activities of $80.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $39.1 million from net cash used in operating activities of $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased $63.4 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $21.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2021. 2022. The change was mainly driven by lower cash collections recognized as portfolio income and lower cash paid for income taxes and the impact of foreign exchange.

These items were partially offset by our $86.4 million of repurchasesthe retirement of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023 Notes of $345.0 million.
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 earningsearnings was $54.0$83.2 million and $61.9and $75.3 million as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Refer to Note 11 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of our significant accounting policies require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our 2021 Annual Report on2022 Form 10-K.
We consider accounting estimates to be critical if (1) the accounting estimates made involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (2) hashave had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements may be material.
We have determined that the following accounting policies involve critical estimates:
Revenue Recognition - Finance Receivables
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 amount and timing of future cash flows and economic lives ofcollections we expect to receive from our pools of accounts. We review individual pools for trends, actual performance versus projections and curve shape (a graphical depiction of the amount and timing of cash flows)collections). We then re-forecast future cash flows by applyingproject ERC and then apply a discounted cash flow methodology to our ERC.
During 2021, we made assumptions that the majority of cash collections overperformance was due Adjustments to acceleration of future collections rather than an increase to total expected collections. Therefore, we adjusted the next three to six month forecast to reflectERC may include adjustments reflecting recent collection trends, from actual results with corresponding reductions to theour view of current and future economic conditions, changes in collection forecast later in the forecast period. During the first half of 2022, this assumption remained relatively consistent, particularly with our more recent pools. In the second quarter of 2022, we assessed certain older pools, where continued strong performance has resulted in an increase to our forecasted ERC.assumptions or other timing related adjustments that could impact TEC.
Significant changes in suchour cash flow 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. Generally, adjustments to reduce estimated cash forecasts for overperformanceperformance experienced in the current period result in a negativean adjustment to revenue at an amount less than the impact of the overperformanceperformance in the period due to the effects of discounting. Additionally, cash flowcollection forecast increases will generally result in more revenue being recognized. As we continue to perform against expectations, performance may vary,recognized and cash collection forecast decreases in less revenue being recognized over the life of the pool.

which could resultValuation of Goodwill
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), we evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment at the reporting unit level.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment either under the qualitative assessment option or using a quantitative forecast approach depending on facts and circumstances of a reporting unit, including the excess of fair value over carrying amount in additional adjustmentsthe last valuation, changes in the business environment and changes of the reporting unit or its composition. If upon evaluation of the qualitative factors, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we are required to ourdetermine the reporting unit’s fair value and record as an impairment loss the amount the carrying value exceeds fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the respective reporting unit.
We determine the fair value of a reporting unit by applying the approaches prescribed under ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures": 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 forecastsprojections 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 a corresponding adjustmentbusiness-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to total portfolio revenue.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 income taxes throughout the U.S. and in numerous internationalinternational 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 non-U.S. income tax expense, we make judgments about the application of these inherently complex laws.
We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is estimated 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 carryforwards. 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 are expected to be realized or settled.
We exercise significant judgment in estimating the potential exposure to unresolved tax matters and apply a more likely than not criteria approach for recording tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in the application of the complex tax laws. While actual results could vary, we believe we have adequate tax accruals with respect to the ultimate outcome of such unresolved tax matters. We record interest and penalties related to unresolved tax matters as a component of income tax expense when the more likely than not standards are met.
If all or part of the deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, we would establish a valuation allowance and charge to earnings the impact in the period such a 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. 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 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. For further information regarding our uncertain tax positions, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our 2021 Annual Report on2022 Form 10-K.

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-ratevariable 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 $1.5approximately $1.7 billion as ofof June 30, 2022.2023. Based on our debt structure at June 30, 2022,2023, assuming a 50 basis point decrease in interest rates, for example, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease by an estimated $3.8$5.4 million. Assuming a 50 basis point increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would increase by an estimated $4.1$5.4 million.
To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest and to be in compliancecomply with the terms of our European and our UK revolving credit facilities, we have entered into interest rate derivative contracts for a portion of our borrowings under our floating rate financing arrangements. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we are 66%62% hedged on a notional basis and nearly 100% hedged in the U.S. dollar.basis. 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 (Loss)comprehensive (loss)/Income.income. All derivatives to which we have applied hedge accounting were evaluated and remained highly effective at June 30, 2022.2023. 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 and zero interest rate floors on revolving loans under our North America, UK and European credit facilities.
Currency Exchange Risk
We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. During the three months ended June 30, 2022,2023, we generated $121.4generated $115.0 million of revenuesrevenues from operations outside the U.S. and used 12 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 such that portfolio ownership and collections generally occur within the same entity. Our UK and European credit facilities are multi-currency facilities, 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 June 30, 2022,2023, 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 June 30, 20222023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
