"Our performance in 2022 was led by our European operations, which achieved an annual record for cash collections on a constant currency-adjusted basis and purchased portfolios in nearly all of our operational markets. On a global basis, our fourth quarter portfolio purchases of $288 million represented our highest investment level since the third quarter of 2021," said Kevin Stevenson, president and chief executive officer. "We made significant progress in 2022 executing our key strategic objectives, including growing our digital platform, leveraging our geographic reach to invest in the most attractive markets, and completing our first full year of collections in Australia. Looking ahead, we are seeing U.S. card balances, delinquency rates, charge-off rates, and bank loan loss reserves continue to increase which we believe will lead to more portfolio supply in the coming months. We also expect to continue to purchase at healthy levels in Europe. We are well-positioned to capitalize on this anticipated increased supply due to our funding capacity, global presence, operational efficiency, and experienced team."

A 34.1% decrease in U.S. call center and other cash collections and an 11.8% decrease in Europe cash collections were partially offset by a 27.9% increase in Other Americas and Australia cash collections.

Expenses
- Operating expenses in Q4 2022 decreased $10.9 million, or 6.3%, compared to Q4 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PRA Group, Inc. reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, internally to evaluate the Company's performance and to set performance goals. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. plus income tax expense; less foreign exchange gain (or plus foreign exchange loss); plus interest expense, net; plus other expense (or less other income); plus depreciation and amortization; plus adjustment for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and plus recoveries applied to negative allowance less changes in expected recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. PRA Group, Inc. presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of operations and financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of operations and financial performance and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
