 card receivables, APRs range from 19.99% to 36.0%. We have experienced minor fluctuations in our average APR based on the relative product mix of receivables purchased during a period. For those receivables that did not contain fixed APRs we have seen some increases in rates charged, as the underlying rates are tied to the federal funds borrowing rate which increased in 2022 and 2023. Our average APRs for general purpose credit card receivables remained largely consistent throughout 2024 with some increases noted as new product, policy, and pricing changes were implemented which raised the APRs associated with new receivable acquisitions. We expect some continued improvements in our general purpose credit card receivable average APRs as newly acquired receivables with higher APRs become a larger part of our overall portfolio of receivables. Our average APRs for private label credit fell throughout 2024 and in 2025 due to a shift in the overall portfolio mix towards private label credit receivables acquired that tend to have lower effective yields but also for which we have limited loss exposure due to agreements with retail partners. This trend continued in the second quarter of 2025 with increased acquisitions of these receivables. We expect this declining trend to continue into the third quarter of 2025, however, the timing and relative mix of receivables acquired could cause some minor fluctuations. We do not acquire or service receivables that have an APR above 36.0%.

Receivables purchased during period. Receivables purchased during period reflect the gross amount of investments we have made in a given period, net of any credits issued to consumers during that same period. For 2025 we noted increases in the amount of receivables purchased associated with our General Purpose Credit Card receivables and also a larger increase in receivables purchased associated with our Private Label Credit receivables. This growth in Private Label Credit Receivables purchased primarily relates to growth in purchases associated with our largest retail partner. For most periods presented in 2024, our private label credit receivable purchases experienced overall growth, when compared to the same periods in 2023, largely based on the addition of new private label credit retail partners as well as growth within existing retail partnerships, as previously discussed. We may experience periodic declines in these acquisitions due to: the loss of one or more retail partners; seasonal purchase activity by consumers; labor shortages and supply chain disruptions; or the
