doValue – Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2023

NOTE TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT

7

Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2023, drawn up using the euro as the reporting currency, was prepared on a voluntary basis in order to provide periodic information in addition to the annual and half-yearly financial reports, and ensures continuity with the past, as Legislative Decree 25/2016 implementing Directive 2013/50/EU eliminated the requirement for periodic financial reporting at March 31 and September 30.

The Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2023 has not been prepared in accordance with the international financial reporting standards applicable for interim financial disclosures (IAS 34 - Interim financial reporting), in view of the fact that the doValue Group applies that standard in the preparation of the half-yearly financial report and not to the quarterly reporting, except in circumstances connected with the preparation of documentation for exceptional transactions.

The Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2023 is prepared on a going concern basis in compliance with the provisions of IAS 1, and on an accrual basis, in accordance with the principles of the relevance and materiality of accounting information and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form and with a view to facilitating consistency with future presentations.

The amounts stated are expressed in thousands of euros unless otherwise specified.

This Consolidated Interim Report is accompanied by the Certification of the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to article 154-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998.

There were no changes to the scope of consolidation in the first nine months of 2023.

However, it should be noted the change of the two Cypriot companies' name: from Altamira Asset Management Cyprus Limited to doValue Cyprus Limited and from doValue Cyprus Limited to doValue Special Projects Cyprus Limited.

The methods used to consolidate the figures of the subsidiaries (line-by-line consolidation) are the same as those adopted for the 2022 consolidated financial statements of the doValue Group, which readers are invited to consult.

The financial statements of the Parent Company and the other companies used to prepare the Consolidated Interim Report are those prepared at September 30, 2023. Where necessary, the financial statements of consolidated companies that may have been prepared on the basis of different accounting policies have been adjusted to ensure their consistency with the Group's accounting policies.

KEY

15

Gross Book Value EoP: indicates the book value of the loans under management at the end of the reference period for the entire scope of the Group, gross of any potential write-downs due to expected loan losses.

doValue – Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2023

Collections for period: used to calculate fees for the purpose of determining revenues from the servicing business, they illustrate the ability to extract value from the portfolio under management.

LTM collections Stock/GBV (Gross Book Value) EoP Stock: the ratio between total gross LTM collections on the Stock portfolio under management at the start of the reference year and the end-period GBV of that portfolio.

Group Staff FTE/Total FTE: the ratio between the number of employees who perform support activities and the total number of full-time employees of the Group. The indicator illustrates the efficiency of the operating structure and the focus on management activities.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) of the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company: together with other relative profitability indicators, they highlight changes in operating performance and provide useful information regarding the Group's financial performance. These data are calculated at the end of the period.

Non-recurring items: items generated in extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company excluding non-recurring items: are defined as EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to core operations, excluding all items connected with extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA Margin: obtained by dividing EBITDA by Gross Revenues.

EBITDA Margin excluding non-recurring items: obtained by dividing EBITDA excluding non-recurring items by Gross revenues.

Earnings per share: calculated as the ratio between net profit for the period and the number of outstanding shares at the end of the period.

Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items: the calculation is the same as that for earnings per share, but the numerator differs from net profit for the period excluding non-recurring items net of the associated tax effects.

Capex: investments in property, plant, equipment and intangibles.

EBITDA – Capex: calculated as EBITDA net of investments in property, plant and equipment and intangibles. Together with other relative profitability indicators, it highlights changes in operating performance and provides an indication on the Group's ability to generate cash.

Net Working Capital: this is represented by receivables for fees invoiced and accruing, net of payables to suppliers for invoices accounted for and falling due in the period.

Net Financial Position: this is calculated as the sum of cash, cash equivalents and highly-liquid securities, net of amounts due to banks and bonds issued.

Leverage: this is the ratio between the Net Financial Position and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items for the last 12 months (possibly adjusted pro-forma to take account of significant transactions from the start of the reference year). It represents an indicator of the Group's debt level.

Group Results at September 30, 2023

At September 30, 2023, the Group's Managed Portfolio (GBV) in the five core markets in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus amounted to €117.8 billion, with a slight decrease of 2.2% comparing with the balance of €120.5 billion at December 31, 2022.

New flows amounted to approximately 8.7 billion, of which roughly 17% related to the Italian market, 21% to the Iberian region and 62% to the Hellenic one.

The following chart shows the geographical breakdown of the GBV: in particular for each country the share managed at September 30, 2023 is highlighted.

The evolution of the Managed Portfolio, which includes only onboarded portfolios, in the first nine months of 2023 was characterised by contracts related to new customers totalling €6.1 billion, of which approximately €4.5 billion in the Hellenic Region, roughly €0.7 billion in Iberia and about €0.9 billion in Italy.

In addition to the flows listed above, a further €2.6 billion comes from existing customers which are onboarded through flow contracts.

With respect to the decrease in GBV, during the period, disposals and write-offs totalled €3.9 billion and €4.1 billion, respectively.

The Managed Portfolio is to be considered in further growth with respect to the picture described above, due to new mandates acquired and currently in the onboarding phase for a total of approximately €0.4 billion, related to portfolios of Italian leading institutions.

Group collections for the period amounted to €3.4 billion, down by approximately 13% on the same period of the previous year (€3.9 billion). The decrease is essentially due to the exit of the Sareb portfolio in Spain. Excluding the effect of the exit of the Sareb portfolio, the figure for the period would compare with €3.2 billion in the first nine months of 2022, with a 7% improvement in performance.

The geographical breakdown of collections for 2023 is as follows: €1.2 billion in Italy, €0.8 billion in Iberia and €1.4 billion in the Hellenic Region.

Performance

The first nine months of 2023 were persistently affected by international tension, inflationary pressures and increases in interest rates following monetary policy decisions by ECB.

In this complex framework, the doValue Group recorded gross revenues of €335.2 million, down 21% from €425.5 million at September 30, 2022. The comparison with the comparative period is particularly detrimental, but it should be remembered that in September 2022 the Group had signed an agreement regarding the "Mexico" securitization which had brought revenues of approximately €42.6 million and still included the contribution of the Sareb portfolio (on a like-for-like basis, excluding the latter, the revenues for the first nine months of 2022 would be equal to €379.4 million, denoting a much lower drop of approximately 12%).

At a geographical level, the comparison with the same period of the previous year highlights a lower contribution from the Hellenic Region (for the "Mexico" indemnity mentioned above) and a decrease recorded in Iberia (especially linked to the exit of the Sareb portfolio) and in Italy (lower NPL collections partially offset by better performance in the UTP sector and ancillary businesses).

It is therefore important to underline that comparing the gross revenues with the exclusion of the Sareb portfolio and the "Mexico" indemnity, the gross revenues for the period would compare with €336.8 million in the first nine months of 2022 and therefore would have been totally aligned with the performance of the current year which, unlike the previous year, would also not have been affected by the current and more unfavorable European macroeconomic conditions.

Servicing revenues of NPE and REO assets amounted to €291.5 million (€390.3 million at September 30, 2022), down 25%. On a product basis, NPE revenues amounted to €251.6 million (€326.2 million in September 2022), down by approximately 23%, while REO revenues totalled €39.9 million and, compared to €64.1 million in the same period of the previous year, show a 38% decrease. As mentioned earlier, these trends are impacted by the partial contribution of the Sareb portfolio during the year which was offboarded between July and October 2022 and by the "Mexico" indemnity of €42.6 million.

Co-investment revenues, equal to €1.1 million, are substantially in line with the comparative period and are represented by the revenues of the ABS securities of the Romeo SPV, Mercutio Securitization and Mexico Finance securitisations of which doValue holds 5%.

On the other hand, the contribution of ancillary and other revenues is more significant (€42.6 million) and a sharp increase compared to the €34.1 million balance at September 30, 2022. It originates mainly from income for data processing and provision services and other services closely related to the abovementioned servicing activities, such as due diligence, master and structuring services and legal services, as well as services provided in the Rental, Real Estate Development and diversified Advisory and Portfolio Management areas.

These revenues accounted for 13% of total gross revenues for the period, compared to approximately 8% in the same period of the previous year.

(€/000)

Net revenues decreased by 20% to €304.6 million, compared to approximately €380.0 million in the same period of the previous year.

NPE outsourcing fees fell sharply by 34% to €10.7 million (€16.1 million in the first nine months of 2022), with a decrease in all segments, as a result of lower collections through the external network and of a gradual internalization process underway in Italy.

This decrease in terms of cost is more than proportional to the decline in the related revenues, thereby indicating a partial recovery of efficiency in this segment.

REO outsourcing fees decreased to €7.3 million (€19.5 million in 2022), due to the combination of two opposing effects: the decrease in the managed portfolio in Spain and the stability of turnover in Greece due to the ongoing activities carried out by the subsidiary doValue Greece Real Estate. This segment was also affected by the lower number of auctions in Italy and Spain due to the macroeconomic conditions and to a strike by the Spanish courts, occured in the first part of the year.

Ancillary outsourcing fees amounted to €12.6 million compared to €9.9 million in the same period of 2022, up 27%, in line with the increase in volumes of the related revenues.

The impact of outsourcing fees on revenues fell from 11% in September 2022 to 9% in the current period as a result of the Sareb portfolio offboarding and of the Group's policy which increased the use of in-house personnel in the recovery of receivables under management.

Operating expenses amounted to €189.3 million compared to €230.5 million in the same period of 2022. The incidence on gross revenues is 56% compared to 54% of 2022. In details, administrative expenses amounted to €47.6 million (compared to €71.9 million at September 30, 2022). The decrease of approximately 34% shows a general reduction in all segments, particularly in Iberia, as a result of the restructuring that began in 2022.

Staff expenses amounted to €141.8 million, down 11% from €158.6 million in same period of the previous year.

Total 3,128 3,217 (89) (2.8)%

As a result of the trends described above, EBITDA stood at €115.3 million compared to €149.6 million in 2022, with an incidence on revenues equal to 34% against 36% in September 2022, whose amount was influenced by the aforementioned "Mexico" indemnity as well as by the contribution of the Sareb portfolio, absent in 2023.

In the first nine months of 2023 were recognised €79 thousand of non-recurring items for strategic consultancies; consequently, EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounts to €115.4 million, compared to €151.9 million at September 2022 when these items not directly related to the business amounted to €2.4 million.

The Group's EBIT amounted to €52.8 million compared to €94.6 million in the same period of the previous year.

EBT amounted to €30.8 million compared to €72.1 million at September 30, 2022. This item includes the financial costs related to the two bond issues and to the Earn-out recognised following acquisition operations in Spain and Greece, the fair value difference related to minority co-investments in securitisation vehicles where the Group is the Servicer, and other minor items related to the application of IFRS 16.

EBT includes additional non-recurring items totalling €14.3 million (€8.5 million in 2022), which mainy refer to costs related to the early retirement incentive affecting all regions (especially Spain, following the exit of the Sareb portfolio) and to the tax claims in Italy and Spain.

Net write-downs on property, plant and equipment and intangibles amounted to €48.2 million substantially stable compared to the balance at September 30, 2022 (€47.9 million).

This item mainly includes the amortisation of the doValue Spain and doValue Greece servicing contracts for a total of €25.7 million which are classified in the balance sheet as intangible assets.

The total balance also includes the amortisation of right-of-use assets deriving from the recognition of leases in accordance with IFRS 16 for a total of €10.7 million. The remaining part of amortisation, €11.8 million, primarily concerns software licenses for technology investments made by the Group during the period aimed at upgrading the IT platform.

Net provisions for risks and charges amounted to €15.5 million, compared to €7.3 million at September 30, 2022, and were mainly related to provisions for early retirement incentives, legal disputes and prudential provisions on receivables.

Net financial interest and commissions amounted to €23.6 million, against €21.3 million at September 30, 2022. This item mainly reflects the costs associated with the two bonds issued for the acquisitions made in Spain and Greece, implementing the Group's internationalisation strategy.

Including nonrecurring items, the profit for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company is €5.7 million, compared to a profit of €39.2 million of September 2022.

SEGMENT REPORTING

doValue's international expansion in the large market of Southern Europe, with the acquisition first of doValue Spain and later of doValue Greece, has led management to consider it appropriate to evaluate and analyse the business with a geographical segmentation.

This classification is tied to specific factors of the entities included in each category and to the type of market. The geographical regions thus identified were: Italy, Hellenic Region and Iberia. It should be noted that the Italy Region includes €3.7 million linked to the cost of the resources allocated to the Group and to the cost relating to the employment relationship with the previous Chief Executive Officer.

Based on these criteria, the following table shows the revenues and EBITDA (excluding non-recurring items) for the period for each of these business segments.

Gross revenues recorded in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €335.2 million (€425.5 million in September 2022) and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounted to €115.4 million (€151.9 million in September 2022). Italy contributed 34% to the Group's gross revenues, Hellenic Region 51% and Iberia 15%.

The EBITDA margin excluding non-recurring items in Italy was 20% (23% excluding charges of €3.7 million mentioned above), 56% in the Hellenic Region and a negative 5% in Iberia.

INTRODUCTION

The balance sheet figures have been reclassified from a management perspective, in line with the representation of the reclassified income statement and the net financial position of the Group.

At the end of this Directors' Interim Report on the Group, in accordance with the same presentation approach for the income statement, we have included a reconciliation between the condensed balance sheet reported below and the table reported in the consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and liquid securities are down by €38.6 million on the previous year end as a result of the financial trend of the period described in the note to the Net Financial Position.

Financial assets amounted to €52.4 million, a decrease of €5.6 million compared to December 31, 2022 (€58.0 million).

The item is broken down in the following table.

Total 52,374 57,984 (5,610) (9.7)%

Financial assets "at fair value through profit or loss" decreased by an overall €0.8 milioni. In detail, debt securities show an increase of €2.8 million, almost entirely attributable to positive valuation effects detected on one of the Cairo portfolios. CIU units relating to the reserved closed-end alternative securities fund Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II), decreased by €1.7 million mainly due to the cancellation and distribution of some units for €2.3 million, compensated by valuation effects for €0.6 million. Finally, the category includes the fair value attributed to the non-hedging derivative on BidX1 and representative of the value of the residual call option, which highlights a valuation decrease of €0.3 million in the period. Financial assets "at fair value through OCI", which include the non-controlling interests held in the Brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. (11.46%) and in the Irish proptech company BidX1 (17.7%), showed a reduction in valuation of €1.9 million attributable exclusively to the latter company.

Financial assets "at amortised cost" decreased by €4.6 million mainly attributable to the sale to third parties, completed in January 2023, of the limited recourse loan for a specific business activity, following the termination of the latter by mutual consent.

Property, plant and equipment amounted to €52.4 million, down by €6.8 million on December 31, 2022. The decrease is mainly due to the amortisation charge of the period (€12.6 million), partially offset by new purchases of €5.9 million relating largely to lease contracts on buildings and cars (€4.2 million).

Intangible assets went from €526.9 million to €500.7 million, down €26.2 million. The decrease is mainly attributable to the combined effect of reductions of €35.8 million for amortisation and increases of €9.7 million related to software purchases (including the portion classified as assets under development and payments on account).

The following is a breakdown of intangible assets:

(€/000)

Intangible assets 9/30/2023 12/31/2022 Change € Change %
Software 41,811 44,441 (2,630) (5.9)%
Brands 21,942 24,581 (2,639) (10.7)%
Assets under development and payments on account 11,411 10,791 620 5.7%
Goodwill 236,897 236,897 - n.s.

In particular, the most significant portion of intangible assets is due to Group's two acquisitions, relating respectively to doValue Spain and its subsidiaries, carried out at the end of June 2019, and the business combination of doValue Greece completed in June 2020, as summarised below:

The tax assets listed below amounted to €115.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to €118.2 million at December 31, 2022. The €3.1 million decrease is mainly due to releases of "Deferred tax assets", partially offset by higher VAT assets and withholding taxes included in "Other tax receivables".

The breakdown of tax liabilities equal to €62.8 million, is also shown below, which shows a decrease of €5.0 million compared to the 2022 balance of €67.8 million. The change of the period is mainly due to the decrease of €4.6 million in deferred tax liabilities related to the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) of doValue Spain and doValue Greece to which must be added the reduction in the tax payable for the period (€1.3 million).

At September 30, 2023, financial liabilities – due to banks/bondholders went from €564.1 million to €581.2 million, up by €17.1 million.

This increase is due, on the one hand, to the portion of accrued unpaid interest and to the temporary use of a 12-month revolving credit line of €25 million, and, on the other hand, to the reduction of €5.0 million deriving from two buy-back transactions of existing bonds which were concluded by repurchasing part of the debt on the market at a discount so as to reduce the total amount of liabilities by more than the required financial outlay, with the consequent recognition of an income equal to €0.5 million.

At September 30, 2023, the residual liability at amortised cost for the two bonds issued was as follows:

  • 2020-2025 bond with a nominal value of €264.0 million, interest rate 5.0%: €261.1 million;

  • 2021-2026 bond with a nominal value of €296.0 million, interest rate 3.4%: €294.6 million.

Other financial liabilities at the end of the first nine months of 2023 are detailed below:

(€/000)

Other financial liabilities 9/30/2023 12/31/2022 Change € Change %
Lease liabilities 44,032 49,938 (5,906) (11.8)%
Earn-out 50,198 44,649 5,549 12.4%
Put option on non-controlling interests - 21,894 (21,894) (100.0)%
Other financial liabilities 21,520 4,380 17,140 n.s.
Total 115,750 120,861 (5,111) (4.2)%

"Lease liabilities" include the discounted value of future lease payments, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16.

The liability for the Earn-out refers (i) to the doValue Spain operation in the amount of €21.6 million, which represents a portion of the acquisition price, integrated of the interest component and (ii) to the acquisition of doValue Greece for €28.6 million that is related to the achievement of some EBITDA targets within a ten-year time frame and the first payments of which will not be due before 2024.

Last September 29th, the notification was received for the exercise of the sale option of the residual minority share (equal to 15%) of doValue Spain. The "Put option on non-controlling interests" liability, equal to €21.9 million at December 31, 2022, was therefore cancelled in the reference period as the related amount of €21.5 million defined between the parties was included among the "Other financial liabilities" category following the exercise of the option.

Please note that the expiry of the put option was extended to the end of September 2023 through the agreement signed on June 26, 2023, with which the exercise price of the option was also defined; it should also be noted that the formalization and execution of the transfer of the minority share of doValue Spain took effect from October 24, 2023 ("Transfer date").

The component of "Other financial liabilities" which at December 31, 2022 was equal to €4.4 million, was eliminated at September 30, 2023 following the termination of the limited recourse loan for a specific business activity in January 2023, as a result of the sale of the related loan recognised under financial assets.

Provisions for risks and charges amounted to €32.9 million (€37.7 million at the end of 2022), with a reduction of €4.7 million substantially referred to the release of the the provision for "Curing fees" pursuant to IFRS 15 on variable fees.

Total 32,940 37,655 (4,715) (12.5)%

Other liabilities went from €75.8 million to €48.4 million with a decrease of €27.4 million mainly due to the settlement of debts towards employees for performance bonuses and early retirement incentives, as well as the release of the portion referring to first nine months of 2023 of the deferred income on the advance payment of servicing fee and other residual items.

Shareholders' equity attributable to Shareholders of the Parent Company amounted to €85.6 million, compared to €136.6 million at December 31, 2022.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

Net Working Capital 9/30/2023 9/30/2022 12/31/2022

Trade payables (48,282) (57,775) (70,381)
Total 110,620 140,074 129,762

The balance for the period was €110.6 million, a marked improvement compared to €129.8 million in December 2022: this decrease is the result of the reduction showed in all the geographical areas of reference. In terms of revenues over the last 12 months, the NWC accounts for 24% in line with the 23% at the end of 2022. This trend is particularly appreciable if considered within the current macroeconomic framework.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

(€/000)

(€/000)

B Liquidity (A) 95,667 159,518 134,264

H Net financial position (E)+(F)+(G) (485,512) (422,778) (429,859)

At September 30, 2023, the net financial position amounted to €485.5 million, compared to €429.9 million at the end of 2022.

The trend for the period was characterised by planned investments of approximately €9.2 million, mainly in Italy and in the Hellenic Region, the working capital trends explained above, as well as the payment of taxes of €20.0 million (largely attributable to the Hellenic Region) and financial expenses related to the two bond issues for €23.3 million. It should be noted that dividends of approximately €52.6 million were paid during the period (of which €5.0 million to the minority shareholders of the Greek subsidiary doValue Greece).

Therefore, "Cash" amounted to €95.7 million, compared to €134.3 million at the end of 2022, as a result of the above trends. It should be noted that the comparative period of 2022 had benefited from the cash flows generated by the securitization operation called "Mexico" carried out in the third quarter of the previous year.

In addition to the current cash level, the Group had €93.5 million of available credit lines of, bringing total liquidity (cash plus available lines) to approximately €190 million.

The net current financial position remains positive at €66.4 million (€124.4 million at the end of 2022), reflecting a balanced overall capital structure.

With respect to its debt structure, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, doValue or one of its affiliates may repurchase or acquire an interest in its outstanding debt securities, whether such securities are traded above or below their nominal value, using its cash or in exchange for

other securities or other consideration, in any case through market purchases or through privately negotiated or other transactions.

Despite the ongoing turbulence which affected the reference markets also in this quarter of the year, the Group's net financial position was not significantly impacted, also considering the structure of the collection deadlines scheduled by the waterfall that, especially domestically, envisage payment terms close to the end of the quarter.

(*) It should be noted that for the sole purpose of better representing the dynamics involving the net working capital, a reclassification was made of the movements related to the "Advance to Suppliers" and to the "Contractual Advance from ERB" from item "Changes in other assets/liabilities" to item "Changes in Net Working Capital (NWC)" for a total of €29.4 as at Sept-23; €19.5m in Sept-22 and €17.9m in Dec-22

The Operating Cash Flow for the period was positive at €38.0 million, (€63.9 million at September 30, 2022 and it is the result of the profit margins achieved during the period, with EBITDA of €115.3 million and capital expenditure of €9.2 million following the implementation of the technological transformation of the Group.

The change in net working capital, in the reference period, is negative with a result of €10.3 million (compared with a cash absorption of €26.9 million in September 2022). The change in the current period is mainly linked to the deferred collection to the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 of part of the fees relating to the disposal carried out in Greece on the assets under management.

"Changes in other assets/liabilities" amounting to -€53.2 million, mainly includes payments related to voluntary exits as well as items related to periodic rents treated according to the IFRS 16 methodology and to advanced payments for some residential projects under development in the Iberian area.

Taxes paid amounted to €20.0 million and essentially refer to direct taxes paid in the Hellenic area and in Italy (€25.4 million in September 2022).

Financial charges paid amounted to €23.3 million (€20.2 million in September 2022), reflecting the average cost (at a fixed rate) incurred following the bonds issued to support the Group's international growth process. These transactions allowed the Group to replace credit lines with a pre-established repayment plan, including interest and principal, with instruments with bullet repayment for the principal and halfyearly payment of coupons. This allowed for a greater balance of sources, extending deadlines and a lower interest expense given the current interest rate curve.

The dynamics described above therefore determine a negative Free Cash Flow of €5.3 million against the value of €18.3 million in the comparative period, especially by virtue of the lower level of EBITDA developed in 2023 as fully described in the section dedicated to the notes on the economic results.

"(Investments)/disinvestments in financial assets" were positive for €2.3 million and mainly included the collection of the units of the Italian Recovery Fund alternative reserved investment fund.

It should be noted that in the current period the payment of approximately €47.5 million in dividends was made, consisting almost entirely of the amounts approved by the last Shareholders' Meeting and a further €5.0 million to the minority shareholders of the Greek subsidiary doValue Greece.

Therefore, the net cash flow of the period was negative by €55.6 million, compared to a negative amount of €21.0 million in the same period of 2022. It should be noted that, excluding the disbursement of dividends, the cash flow generated would have been substantially neutral, also including the buy-back operations of the bond issues amounting to approximately €5 million.

Significant events during the period

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of doValue was held on April 27, 2023. In particular, the Shareholders' Meeting:

  • approved the separate Financial Statements for the year 2022, the destination of the profit for the year 2022 and the distribution of the dividend;
  • examined the second section of the Report on the remuneration policy and on the remuneration paid in the financial year 2022 or related thereto, pursuant to article 123-ter of the TUF and art. 84-Quater of Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), expressing a favourable opinion;
  • granted a new authorisation to purchase treasury shares;
  • approved the amendments to the By-Laws.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors of DoValue resolved to propose to the shareholders the distribution of a dividend of €0.60 per share (for a total of approximately €47.5 million, considering the number of treasury shares currently held by the Company).

ARBITRATION IN SPAIN

With regard to the events underlying the agreement reached with the Tax Authority in 2021 by the subsidiary doValue Spain SA, on May 11, 2023 the International Court of Arbitration of the l'International Chamber of Commerce issued the final award which condemns Altamira Asset Management Holdings, S.L. to reimburse the amount of approximately €28 million, plus interest, in favour of the doValue Group. Such amounts were paid in 2021 by doValue Spain to the Spanish tax authority in the context of the inspection launched in connection to facts and events occurred prior to the acquisition performed by doValue which took place in 2019.

TAX AUDIT IN ITALY

With respect to the formal closure of the tax audit that the Parent Company has received by the Italian Tax Authority concerning the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, prior to the listing, at the end of April 2023, a tax assessment was received in connection with the 2016 finding and for which it filed a tax settlement proposal to activate the adequate protection measures and demonstrate, supported by a pool of professionals, the reasons for the correctness of the own conduct.

With reference to the finding concerning the 2017 fiscal year, against which until now no tax assessment has been received and therefore no protection measures have been activated, the Parent Company is waiting for possible final findings of the carried-out tax audit expected by the end of 2023.

OTHER RELEVANT ACTIVITIES

Since the beginning of 2023, doValue has been active on several fronts. A summary of all the main initiatives and key mandates is shown below.

  • MSCI ESG Research: in March 2023, MSCI ESG Research has upgraded the Group's MSCI ESG rating from "AA" to "AAA". MSCI ESG Research measures a company's resilience to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") risks on a long-term horizon. The upgrade by MSCI ESG Research is a tangible example of doValue's commitment in adopting best practices in the interest of its stakeholders, in particular clients, capital providers (equity holders and bond holders), employees, and the broader social and environmental ecosystem in which the Company operates.
  • Moody's Analytics rating: In July 2023, Moody's Analytics upgraded its ESG rating to "Robust" from "Limited".
  • Project Souq: in February 2023, doValue completed a €630 million GBV secondary portfolio disposal in Greece to Intrum. The portfolio has been carved out from the Cairo I and Cairo II HAPS securitisation vehicles, which have been managed by doValue since their creation. The disposal allows doValue to accelerate its collection activity in Greece (for which it received a Collection fee in Q1 2023) whilst obtaining the long-term servicing mandate on the dismissed portfolio.
  • Fino 1 GACS securitisation: in January 2023, thanks to the strong performance of doValue in the management of the securitisation Fino 1, in the context of which the GACS guarantee was granted by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Class A senior notes of this securitisation have been repaid.
  • Efesto Fund: between December 2022 and January 2023, the Efesto Fund has received commitments for UTP contributions for an aggregate amount of €1.1 billion (partially already onboarded as of March 31st, 2023), including sizeable commitments from two primary Italian banks.
  • Bond buy-back: as part of an exercise to optimize its liabilities and make better use of available cash, doValue bonds were purchased and subsequently cancelled, for a nominal value of approximately €5.0 million.
  • doValue Spain Put Option: the expiry date of the put option on the minority interest of 15% in doValue Spain was extended from the end of June 2023 to September 2023.
  • Onboarding of SKY portfolio in Cyprus: on September 28, 2023 doValue announced the completion of the acquisition transaction of the Sky portfolio, which includes the onboarding by doValue Cyprus of the Sky portfolio assigned by Cerberus Capital Management for a value total of approximately €2.3 billion of Non-Performing Exposures originating from Alpha Bank Cyprus, of which €2.1 billion represent new assets under management.

Significant events after the end of the period

SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM

On October 9, 2023 doValue S.p.A. announced the initiation, as from October 10, 2023, of its share buyback programme for a maximum amount of 2,000,000 shares to restore the own shares reserve to service the share-based incentive plan for the Group's management.

OTHER RELEVANT ACTIVITIES

doValue Spain Put option: following the notification received last September 29th for the exercise of the sale option of the residual minority stake (equal to 15%) of doValue Spain, it is noted that the formalization and execution of the transfer of the minority stake took effect from October 24, 2023.

Outlook for operations

In 2023, the Group will pursue the goals of its 2022-2024 Business Plan, leveraging on the results achieved in 2022 and on the effectiveness and operational efficiency resulting from the implementation of the doTransformation program.

In particular, it is expected that:

  • activities in Italy will continue in line with 2022, with performance expected to decline slightly yearon-year, in line with the trend of the GBV under management;
  • activities in the Hellenic Region will be supported by an acceleration of collections also driven by potential disposals of portfolios on the secondary market on behalf of customers, which should lead to a stable margin year-on-year;
  • activities in Iberia will fully reflect the expiry of the Sareb contract and the off-boarding of the related portfolio completed in October 2022, partially offset by the reduction in costs deriving from the reorganisation of the Spanish activities, which has already affected the second half of 2022.

Main risks and uncertainties

The financial position of the doValue Group is adequately scaled to meet its needs, considering the activity carried out and the results achieved.

The financial policy pursued is aimed at fostering the stability of the Group, which in view of its operations does not currently or prospectively intend to engage in speculative investment activity.

The main risks and uncertainties, considering the Group's business, are essentially connected to the macroeconomic situation which could have consequences on the general trend of the economy and on the generation of non-performing exposures. Furthermore, elements of uncertainty remain linked to the effect inflationary dynamics and the increase in interest rates that could have repercussions on the ability of debtors to repay their exposures.

It should also be noted that the future evolution and the related effects, on global macroeconomic prospects and on global geopolitical stability, deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict are still unpredictable and which could be worsened by the recent war in Israel.

At the date of approval of these Financial Statements, considering the high degree of uncertainty linked to these extraordinary circumstances, the actual impacts, direct and indirect, on the Group's business cannot be estimated.

GOING CONCERN

In order to express an opinion on the going concern assumption used to prepare this Consolidated Interim Report, the risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed were carefully assessed:

  • in particular, account was taken of the forecasts regarding the macroeconomic scenarios impacted by the combination of the inflation, the increase in interest rates, the deterioration of the economic climate, geopolitical risks and the uncertainties relating to future developments;
  • in the sustainability assessment of assets at September 30, 2023, account was taken of the Group's solid capital base, financial position and confirmed ability to generate cash flows, as reflected in the Group's 2022-2024 Business plan, as well as the characteristics of doValue's specific business model, which is capable of responding flexibly to the various phases of the economic cycle;
  • finally, account was taken of assets under management, as well as the contribution of new portfolio management contracts recorded in the first nine months of 2023.

From the analyses carried out and on the basis of the assumptions reported above, no uncertainties have emerged in relation to events or circumstances which, considered individually or as a whole, could give rise to doubts regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Other information

MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

At September 30, 2023, 25.05% of the shares of the Parent Company doValue are owned by its largest shareholder, Avio S.a r.l, the reference shareholder, a company incorporated in Luxembourg, affiliated to the Fortress Group, which in turn was acquired by Softbank Group Corporation in December 2017.

A further 3.22% of doValue shares are held by other investors similarly connected with Softbank Group Corporation, with an overall stake held by the latter of 28.27%.

This document is available to the public in the "Governance" section of the company website www.dovalue.it.

With reference to paragraph 8 of Article 5 - "Public information on transactions with related parties" of the Consob Regulation cited above, it should be noted that:

A. on the basis of the Policy in relation to transactions with related parties adopted by the Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A., in the first nine months of 2023, no significant transactions were carried out;

  • B. in the first nine months of 2023, no transactions with related parties were carried out, under different conditions from normal market conditions which have significantly influenced the balance sheet and financial position of the Group;
  • C. in the first nine months of 2023, there have been no changes or developments to individual transactions with related parties already described in the most recent financial report that have had a significant effect on the Group's balance sheet or results in the reference period.

ATYPICAL OR UNUSUAL OPERATIONS

Pursuant to Consob communication no. 6064293 of July 28, 2006, it should be noted that in the first half 2023 the doValue Group did not carry out any atypical and/or unusual transactions, as defined by the same communication, according to which atypical and/or unusual transactions are those transactions that, due to their significance/relevance, the nature of the counterparties, the subject matter of the transaction, the way in which the transfer price is determined and the timing of the event (close to the end of the financial year) can give rise to doubts as to the accuracy/completeness of the information in the Financial Statements, conflicts of interest, the safeguarding of company assets and the protection of minority shareholders.

DISCLOSURE ON THE OPT-OUT OPTION

We inform you that doValue S.p.A. has adopted the simplified rules provided for in Articles 70, paragraph 8, and 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consob Issuers Regulation no. 11971/1999, as subsequently amended, and has therefore exercised the option to derogate from compliance with the obligations to publish the information documents provided for in Articles 70, paragraph 6, and 71, paragraph 1, of that Regulation on the occasion of significant mergers, spin-offs, capital increases through the contribution of assets in kind, acquisitions and sales.
