The change in expected recoveries also included a $20.5 million write down during the first quarter in 2022 on one portfolio in Brazil.

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.
•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.

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 equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and the observable quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs for its fair value 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.

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 expedieexpedient was $2.9 million annt was $4.0 million andd $4.4 million as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Impairment of Real Estate
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined that it would cease call center operations at one of its owned regional offices in the U.S. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $5.0 million on the associated building and improvements. The impairment was determined by comparing the fair value of the building and improvements to carrying value, as required under ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment". Fair value was based on an appraisal performed by a third-party valuation specialist, which considered Level 2 inputs in the form of prices paid for comparable properties in the same market.

10. Earnings per Share:
Basic EPS areis computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of PRA Group, Inc. by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS areis computed using the same components as basic EPS, with the denominator adjusted for the dilutive effect of the conversion spread of the Convertible Notes and nonvested share awards, if they are dilutive. There has beenwere no dilutive effect ofeffects caused by the Convertible Notes since issuance through March 31,their retirement on June 1, 2023. 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.
On February 25, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its common stock. WeAs of September 30, 2023, the Company had $67.7 million remaining for share repurchases, which is subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and senior note indentures. Considering these covenants, we did not repurchase any common stock during the first quarternine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023.

11. Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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.
At March 31,As of September 30, 2023, the tax years subject to examination by the major federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions areare 2014 andand subsequent years.
The Company intends for predominantly all international earnings to be indefinitely reinvested in its international operations; therefore, the recording of deferred tax liabilities for such unremitted earnings is not required. If international earnings were repatriated or deemed repatriated due to intercompany loans, the Company may need to accrue and pay taxes, although foreign tax credits and exemptions may be available to partially reduce U.S.or eliminate income and withholding taxes. Any deemed repatriations from additional intercompany loans would be expected to have little or no tax impact. The amount of cash on hand related to international operations with indefinitely reinvested earningsearnings was $88.4$88.8 million andand $75.3 million as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
12. Commitments and Contingencies:
Employment Agreements:
The Company has entered into employment agreements with eachcertain of its current and former U.S. executive officers, which expire on December 31, 2023.officers. Such agreements provide for base salary payments as well as potential discretionary bonuses that consider the Company’s overall performance against its short and long-term financial and strategic objectives. The agreements also contain customary confidentiality and non-compete provisions. At March 31,As of September 30, 2023, estimated future compensation under these agreements was approximately $8.8 $4.3 million. 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 $8.8$4.3 million tottoal above.tal above.

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-epre-established prices. As of stablished prices. TheSeptember 30, 2023, the maximum remaining amount the Company could be obligated to be purchasedpurchase under forward flow agreements at March 31, 2023, was $622.4$538.0 million. This amount is based on sellers' estimates of future flow sales and is dependent on actual delivery compared to these estimates. Accordingly, amounts purchased under these agreements may vary and are often less than the maximum amounts.
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
PRA Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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,September 30, 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.

Executive Overview
For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2023, we had:
•Total portfolio purchases of $230.2$311.2 million.
•Total cash collectionscollections of $411.3$419.6 million.
•Estimated remaining collections of $5.7 billion.
•Cash efficiency ratio of 54.3%58.9%.

During 2022, excess consumer• liquidity, primarily in the U.S., resulted in lower levelsDiluted earnings per share of charge-offs across most lending institutions. $(1.91).
As a result, this caused a decrease in the supply of portfolios available for purchase in the U.S., resulting in a lower levelSeptember 30, 2023, we had estimated remaining collections of portfolio purchases and pricing pressures due to competition. Recent Federal Reserve data indicates that charge-offs of consumer debt are beginning to increase, and we expect to see a greater level of supply and reduced pricing pressure in the U.S. The market in Europe has continued to have a consistent portfolio pipeline across most markets, supported by volumes of aged nonperforming loans. However, unlike the U.S., we have not begun to see an increase in fresh charge-offs.$6.0 billion.
We believe our cash forecast curves are appropriate given the information we have today.as of the date of this Quarterly Report. However, we continue to operate in an economic environment that includes elevated levels of inflation, rising interest rates, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and concerns of a global recession. Given the continuingcontinued weak economic conditions, there may be somewe have experienced near-term pressure on cash collections.collections in certain markets. 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. Volumes and pricing in the U.S. market are improving, and we increased our U.S. investment level for the fourth consecutive quarter. While the European market continues to be competitive, our European business continues to capitalize on stable investment volumes. We cannot predict the full extent to which these items will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Income Tax Expense/(Benefit)
Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 83.8%, compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded income tax expense for the period despite incurring a quarterly pre-tax loss due to changes in our projected mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions. Tax expense was recorded during the period to reflect an estimated annual effective tax benefit rate. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to lower income before taxes during 2023 when compared to 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our effective tax benefit rate was 28.1%, compared to an effective tax rate of 28.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions.

Cash collections were $1,250.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $87.2 million, or 6.5%, compared to $1,337.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decline of $98.7 million, or 23.5%, in U.S. call center and other cash collections, and lower cash collections of $21.4 million, or 21.2%, in Americas Insolvency collections, both largely due to lower purchasing levels in recent years. U.S. legal cash collections decreased $28.5 million, or 12.6%, reflecting lower volumes of accounts placed in the legal channel due to lower purchasing levels in recent years. These decreases were partially offset by higher cash collections in South America of $59.6 million, or 83.6%, due mainly to higher recent purchases.

Total Portfolio Revenue
Total portfolio revenue was $568.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $153.3 million, or 21.2%, compared to $722.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was largely driven by lower purchasing, lower levels of cash overperformance and an increase to the ERC of certain pools during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, that did not recur during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, and primarily impacting the first quarter of 2023, we experienced a softer tax season than we had anticipated, with U.S. collections lower than our expectations, which then prompted a reduction in ERC. This resulted in a negative $25.6 million net present value adjustment for our U.S. Core portfolio, with more than half of this adjustment related to the 2021 U.S. Core vintage.
Other revenue
Other revenue was $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $9.2 million, or 42.9%, compared to $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of settlements in CCB.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $526.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $9.0 million, or 1.7%, compared to $517.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The increase mainly reflects higher severance expenses of $8.6 million, partially offset by decreases in temporary labor and healthcare and other benefit expenses.
Legal Collection Costs
Legal collection costs were $66.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $8.5 million, or 14.7%, compared to $57.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase primarily reflects higher volumes of accounts placed in the legal channel in the U.S.
Agency Fees
Agency fees were $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $7.1 million, or 15.0%, compared to $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in cash collections in Brazil.
Outside Fees and Services
Outside fees and services expenses were $62.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 13.1%, compared to $71.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease reflects lower corporate legal costs and consulting fees.
Impairment of Real Estate
Impairment of real estate was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to an impairment charge associated with our decision to cease call center operations at one of our owned regional offices in the U.S. No impairment was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 segregated into geographical regions based upon where the account was acquired. Ultimately, accounts are aggregated 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 acquisition are represented in the Insolvency tables below. All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included in our Core portfolio 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 as originally segregated regardless of any future changes in operational status.Specifically, if a Core account files for bankruptcy or insolvency protection after acquisition, we adjust our collection practices to comply with any respective bankruptcy or insolvency rules or policies; however, the account remains in the Core pool. In the event an insolvency account is dismissed from its bankruptcy or insolvency status whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we are typically free to pursue alternative collection activities; however, the account remains in the 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 operational efficiency. For example, increased pricing due to elevated levels of competition or supply constraints negatively impacts purchase price multiples as we pay more to buy similar portfolios of nonperforming loans.
Further, there is a direct relationship between the price we pay for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and the effective interest rate of the pool. When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and effective interest rates are generally lower. The opposite tends to occur when we pay less for a portfolio. Certain types of accounts have lower collection costs, and we generally pay more for these types of accounts, resulting in a lower purchase price multiple, while realizing similar net income margins when compared with other portfolio purchases. Within a given portfolio type, to the extent that lower purchase price multiples are the result of more competitive pricing, 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, portfolios are aggregated into annual pools, 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, 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 yearsyear following purchase, we typically do not increaseadjust our purchase price multiples. Following the initial years, as we gain collection experience and confidence with a pool of accounts, we may begin to increase our purchase price multiples.adjust ERC and TEC. Over time, our TEC has often increased as pools have aged resulting in the ratio of TEC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually 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 seasonal trend was not as pronounced. Additionally, 2021 deviated from usual seasonal patterns due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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
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;
•impairment of real estate;
•net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and
•recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months ("LTM") as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, we had $10.1had $3.4 million of derivativederivative liabilities, all of which mature within the next 12 months. For more information, see Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements includedincluded in Part I, Item 81 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
Cash Net cash provided by/(used inin) operating activities mainly reflects cash collections recognized as revenue and cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. To calculate net cash provided by/(used inin) operating activities, net income/(loss)/income 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 $47.5$118.3 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 increased $24.8$114.9 million from net cash used in operating activities of $22.7$3.4 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022. The changeincrease was mainlyprimarily driven by the impact of unrealized foreign currency transactions; higher cash paid for operating expenses, interest and taxes; and lower cash collections recognized as portfolio income and the impact of foreign exchange.income.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities mainly reflectsis primarily driven by recoveries applied to our negative allowance. Cash used in investing activities mainly reflectsprimarily relates to acquisitions of nonperforming loans and net investment activity.
Net cash provided byby/(used in) investing activities decreased $117.4$375.0 million duringfor the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023, primarily driven by an increase of $71.6$313.5 million in purchases of finance receivables, an increase of $58.5$57.8 million in purchases of investments and a decrease of $52.6$70.3 million in recoveries applied to the negative allowance. These items were partially offset by an increase of $62.0$58.2 million in proceeds from sales and maturities of investments.
Financing Activities
Cash 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.
Net cash provided byby/(used in) financing activities increased $538.5$518.3 million during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Notes of $400.0 million, a $92.4$351.9 million changeincrease from net payments on our lines of credit in the prior year quarter to net draws on our lines of credit in the current year quarter and a decrease in our purchases of common stock of $48.7$111.4 million. These items were partially offset by the retirement of our 2023 Notes in the amount 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 or deemed repatriated due to intercompany loans, 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. Changes in intercompany loan balances are expected to have little or no tax impact. The amount of cash on hand related to international operations with indefinitely reinvested earningsearnings was $88.4$88.8 million andand $75.3 million as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 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 2022 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) have 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 cash collections 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 collections). We then project ERC and then apply a discounted cash flow methodology to our ERC. Adjustments to ERC may include adjustments reflecting recent collection trends, our view of current and future economic conditions, changes in collection assumptions or other timing related adjustments that could impact TEC. In the first quarter of 2023, we assessed certain pools, where lower levels of performance occurred due to a softer tax season than anticipated in the U.S. coupled with a more normalized collection environment globally. The reduced performance levels in the first quarter resulted in write downs to our ERC primarily in the U.S. Core portfolio.
Significant changes in our 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 estimated cash forecasts for performance experienced in the current period result in an adjustment to revenue at an amount less than the impact of the overperformanceperformance in the period due to the effects of discounting. Additionally, cash collection forecast increases will generally result in more revenue being recognized and cash collection forecast decreases will generally result in less revenue being recognized over the life of the pool.
Valuation 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 approach depending on facts and circumstances of a reporting unit, including the excess of fair value over carrying amount in the 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 determine 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 comparable transaction data, 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 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.
As of September 30, 2023, we continue tohad goodwill of $412.5 million, consisting primarily of $385.6 million in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit.
We performed our most recent annual review, using a qualitative assessment, as of October 1, 2022, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. At that time, we estimated that our DBC reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying value by a substantial margin. As of September 30, 2023, our quarterly impairment assessment did not identify the occurrence of any triggering events, and we determined our goodwill was not more-likely-than-not impaired. The Company will perform against expectations, performance may vary, which could result in additional adjustmentsa quantitative goodwill impairment test of the reporting unit as of October 1, 2023, our next annual testing date.
While we concluded goodwill was not more-likely-than-not impaired as of September 30, 2023, we did identify a heightened risk for future impairment of the goodwill allocated to our cash flow forecasts with a corresponding adjustmentDBC reporting unit, considering macroeconomic conditions, higher interest rates and their impact on discount rates, recent financial performance, and the recent decline in our stock price. Should these factors worsen, they could adversely impact the fair value of the reporting unit, and we may have to total portfolio revenue.record impairment charges in future periods.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes throughout the U.S. and in numerous 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 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 2022 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 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 $1.6$1.8 billion as of March 31,September 30, 2023. Based on our debt structure at March 31,September 30, 2023, assuming a 50 basisbasis point decrease in interest rates, for example, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease by an estimated $4.3 million.$5.1 million. Assuming a 50 basis point increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would increase by an estimated $4.3 million.$5.1 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,facility, we have entered into interest rate derivative contracts for a portion of our borrowings under our floating rate financing arrangements. AsConsidering these contracts in addition to our fixed rate borrowings, as of March 31,September 30, 2023, we are 68%were 66% hedged on a notional basis. We apply hedge accounting to certainall of our interest rate derivative contracts. By applying hedge accounting, changes in market value are reflected as adjustments in Other comprehensive (loss)/income. All derivatives to which we havehave applied hedge accounting were evaluated and remained highly effective at March 31,September 30, 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 March 31,September 30, 2023, we generated $96.3erated $111.0 million of revenrevenues 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 March 31,September 30, 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
