PRA Group, Inc. is a global specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, that purchases, collects, and manages nonperforming loan portfolios. The company primarily acquires "Core" accounts from credit originators who have not collected the full balance owed, and to a lesser extent, "Insolvency" accounts from customers in bankruptcy or similar proceedings. PRA Group operates globally with principal markets in the U.S. and Europe, maintaining operations in 12 countries across Europe, and on a smaller scale in South America, Canada, and Australia. Its business model centers on disciplined collection strategies over extended periods, leveraging proprietary data and models for portfolio valuation and collection efforts. The company also engages in an ancillary business of purchasing and servicing class action claims recoveries in the U.S.

Revenue is primarily driven by portfolio income, which represents the accretion of the discount on the negative allowance due to the passage of time, and changes in expected recoveries, including actual recoveries above or below forecast and changes in future recovery expectations. Fee income from class action claims recovery services also contributes to revenue.
