PRA GROUP INC PRAA
We are a specialty finance company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and incorporated in Delaware. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of nonperforming loan portfolios, and we are a global leader in the industry. Most of the loans we purchase are from credit originators who have chosen not to pursue, or have been unsuccessful in collecting, the full balance owed to them ("Core" accounts). To a lesser extent, we also purchase loans in situations where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding ("Insolvency" accounts). As part of an ancillary business, we purchase and provide fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the U.S.
We are organized on a geographic basis, with our principal markets in the U.S. and Europe, where we have operations in 12 countries and the United Kingdom ("UK"). On a significantly smaller scale, we also operate in South America, Canada and Australia. Subject to globally-established parameters for capital allocation, portfolio return thresholds and leverage, each market functions under a similar debt management business model, which is predicated on purchasing nonperforming loans and generating returns through disciplined collection strategies over extended collection periods.

As the company reported it, from the “Segments and Geographic Information - Schedule of Revenues and Long-lived Assets by Geographical Location (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
