NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This presentation includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore
have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The
Company has included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA because management utilizes this
information, which is materially similar to a financial measure contained in covenants used in the
Company's revolving credit facility, in the evaluation of its operations and believes that this measure is a
useful indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash collections in excess of operating expenses
through the liquidation of its receivable portfolios. The Company has included information concerning
Adjusted Operating Expenses in order to facilitate a comparison of approximate cash costs to cash
collections for the portfolio purchasing and recovery business in the periods presented. The Company has
included Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per Share because management believes that
investors regularly rely on these measures to assess operating performance, in order highlight trends in the
Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Income from
Continuing Operations and Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per Share have not been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as
alternatives
to,
or
more
meaningful
than,
net
income,
net
income
per
share,
and
total
operating
expenses
as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures, as
presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. The Company has attached to this presentation a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
