A unique business model

The peculiarity of Generalfinance's business model is the choice of Seller–Debtor, where clients (Sellers) typically have a low credit rating (turnaround situation) while the Debtors underlying customer loans refer to a high credit rating (investment grade) S&P Fitch

Collection performance

90% of Generalfinance's portfolio has no payment delays (vs

Only 50% of Generalfinance's portfolio has payment conditions exceeding 120 days (vs 63% of the market)

Generalfinance boasts a portfolio quality, both in terms of Payment Conditions and Payment Delays, higher than the rest of the market

Risk reduction in Distressed Factoring

Given that the majority of Generalfinance's turnover is realized towards distressed Sellers, the Company can benefit from a reduction in risk, because of 3 main factors

Lower Credit Risk

  • o Effects of insolvency proceedings on financial position (ex. credit write-offs)
  • o Recovery and relaunch plan
  • o Possible change in the Governance
  • o Possible capital injection or new financing
  • o Predeductibility (i.e., superpriority) of receivables arising from loans disbursed in execution of the plan and loans disbursed prior to the submission of the composition with creditors plan, respectively, if the conditions provided by the regulations are met

Lower Operating Risk

  • o Court approval (arrangement with creditors, restructuring agreement)
  • o Supervision by the court commissioner (arrangement with creditors)
  • o Presence of high standing Financial Advisors and Legal Counsels
  • o Management change

Lower Risk of Clawback Action

  • o Financial assistance for the implementation of the agreement / plan / arrangement with creditors with exemptions from clawback actions
  • o Authorization for bridge financing (in these cases, the risk of clawback actions is excluded on a de facto basis)
  • o Factoring law and related protections (clawback actions regarding collections from assigned debtors)

An attractive market with key growth drivers

In the overall fast growing factoring market (turnover in Italy is expected to grow from € 250bn in 2021 up to €258-€279bn in 2022) Generalfinance focuses on distressed sellers (UTP, forborne and past due) with a portfolio of performing debtors (in bonis)

According to CRR 178, a default occurs when any of the following conditions occur: (i) probable default, or (ii) exposures past due by more than 90 days.

From January 1st, 2020 the European Banking Authority has introduced stricter rules to define if an exposure is in default.

Based on the March 2018 BCE addendum, NPEs should be clustered
in terms of default period and level of security, with a distinction
Previous
Reg.

between secured ('Secured A') other collateral ('Secured B') and
unsecured ('Unsecure') properties. For each cluster, banks are
expected to apply the above provisioning schedule such that the
impaired exposure (NPLs and UTPs) is fully removed from the
balance sheet by 2026.
The main
implications
are:
Thresholds Client in default if arrears
for more than 90 days,
equal to at least 5% of
their exposure towards
the bank
Client in default if arrears of € 100
for individuals or € 500 for other
exposures for more than 90 days,
and at least 1% of their exposure
towards the bank.

between 0 and 2.5%)

Other "Basel III" regulatory impacts

The envisaged tightening of current account overdrafts, which until now did not require capital provisions but could in future be subject to risk weighting for credit institutions, may have a significant impact in Italy, where they are widely used for household and PMI financing.

Credit to Non-Financial Companies

Vulnerable companies and new non-bankruptcy procedures

More than 40% of SMEs are in vulnerability or risk condition An annual average (2017-2021) of 1,389 companies entered nonbankruptcy procedures

The potential market for Generalfinance

The 2022 recession has affected the trend of the UTP/Past Due/Forborne stock, which is the best proxy to estimate the Generalfinance's niche market, with an expected growth from € 107bn in 2022 to € 124bn in 2024E

Guidelines of the Strategic Plan 2022-2024

Generalfinance strategic guidelines over the Plan

Sustainable and ESG-compliant business model

More services and reinforcement of commercial structure

More services… … to

Evolution of factoring pro-soluto

The Factor assumes the insolvency risk of the assigned Debtor until the maturity date stipulated in the contract for the loan; after that time, it can demand the return of the advances paid to the Sellers.

Maturity factoring

The supplier obtains payment on a certain and predetermined date. The debtor company, on the other hand, obtains a deferred payment for the pre-established period against payment of interest.

Tax Credit

1

2

3

Recourse or Non-recourse factoring related to tax receivables (IVA, IRES, IRAP) in order to add another source of liquidity to existing and new customers.

4 Improvement of Factoring Not Notification

Not Notification Factoring does not require the notification of the assignment to the debtor; it' particularly suitable for those companies interested in hedging against the risk of insolvency of the customer and that prefer to maintain control of the entire customer portfolio management process.

5 Advance future credits / contracts

The Factor accepts future receivables deriving from a supply contract stipulated by the seller and can consider whether to advance a variable portion of the nominal value. The product is granted as collateral for the factoring relationship

Increase Turnover

Improve Share of Wallet (SoW)

Diversify Generalfinance's product portfolio

Reinforcement of the Commercial Structure (CCO)

It is also planned to reinforce the origination network through:

  • Agreements with Traditional Banks
  • Agreements with Debt Funds
  • Agreements with Private Equity Funds

Credit process enhancement – «NEW PEF»

Generalfinance, has started a process of evolution of its credit granting, management and monitoring model, which aims, to create a new granting framework ("NEW PEF")

  • The framework will enhance the ability to evaluate and manage factoring transactions through proprietary quantitative scoring models ("GF Score") and industrialised management processes
  • ❑ Information development activities of the "NEW PEF" are currently underway with full golive in mid-2023

Pricing risk adjusted model

A risk-adjusted pricing model (which considers interest and commission components) was defined as a function of three drivers (turnover, scoring and complexity of the transaction) with the possibility of derogation of up to certain predefined limits (at the discretion of the commercial manager) depending on the level of commercial delegation system

Driver Description
A
Turnover

Defined different turnover classes (class A >35mln, B between 20mln and 35mln, C between 10mln
and 20mln, D between 5mln and 10mln, E between 1mln and 5mln, F <1mln) to frame the
significance/magnitude of the counterparty
B
Scoring transaction

Management score assessing the transaction as a whole (weighted valuation of the seller and the
debtor portfolio according to different variables) from a risk-adjusted pricing perspective
C
Complexity

relationship
Expected operational complexity to manage the portfolio of debtors (i.e. high, standard, low) which is

a proxy for operating costs considering several parameters
D

Generalfinance offers its customers (mostly companies under financial stress) rapid and customized interventions for the financing of the working capital and trade receivables, covering the entire supply chain finance

"Revolving" relationship (LIR1 at 24 months) in a predominantly "notification" mode and, where applicable, "acceptance" of the debt

  • o Consolidated expertise throughout the entire process
  • o End-to-end in-house valuation process, tailored to customer specifications
  • o Strong risk reduction and diversification mechanisms
  • o In-house-developed proprietary factoring platform to support business specifications
  • o Fast operational processes and capability to provide bridge financing within turnaround processes

3

Generalfinance masters all the crossroads of the value chain

2

  • o All operational steps and core activities are carried out internally by Generalfinance's dedicated structures
  • o Generalfinance does not relies on external consultants to assess the creditworthiness of sellers and debtors but owns all the skills
  • o The process is reinforced by credit insurance policies provided by Allianz Trade insurance company which, during the risk acquisition phase, performs an independent assessment of the assigned debtors, providing Generalfinance a feedback on the results of their assessment

A model difficult to replicate: from Funding to Operations
