Results for H1 2021

August 5th, 2021

H1 2021 results - key highlights

1 Well ahead on FY 2021 targets for GBV inflows

  • Ca. €5.2bn of new mandates across different asset classes and countries, on track to reach target of €7-9bn in 2021
  • Ca. €2.0bn of forward flow agreements, already reached target of €2bn in 2021
  • Confirmed leadership in Italy with >75% market share (on GACS awarded to third-party servicers)
  • doValue, Bain and Fortress exclusive consortium on Project Frontier in Greece, potentially ca. €6bn of additional GBV

2 Solid semester showing improving market conditions in all countries
Normalization of collections is gaining pace with Gross Revenues at €254m (+54% YoY) and Collections at €2.7bn (+67% YoY)
€73m

EBITDA ex NRI at €73m shows strong YoY growth from €36m in H1 2020 (+104%)
+104% YoY

Significant overperformance of Greece versus pre-COVID business plan (both in collections and marginality)

Net Income growing despite increasing financial charges and D&A related to acquisitions
3 Improved balance sheet structure and strong cash flow generation

Successful €300m / 5 year bond issuance, refinancing existing Senior Facility Agreement and extending avg. debt duration
Bond
issuance

Cash generation continues to be strong, with €37m of operating cash flow and €21m of free cash flow

Continuing reduction in leverage (from 2.6x at Dec-20 to 2.4x at Jun-21) notwithstanding payment of the dividend
€300m

Inflows in 2021 YTD well on track to meet targets

A possible further consolidation of the Southern Europe banking sector could lead to additional opportunities for doValue given our type of banking clients

Collections and regulatory environment

Overall COVID-19 has caused a delay in collections for 2020 (i.e no loss of revenues) and an increase in GBV

Post-COVID recovery consolidating

  • Strong top line growth (+54%) underpinned by continuous pick-up in collections and full consolidation of doValue Greece
  • Net of seasonality effect (H1 gross revenues are historically 36% lower on average than H2 gross revenues), the recovery is visible also H1 2021 vs H2 2020
  • Sustained EBITDA growth driven by full consolidation of doValue Greece, higher collections in Spain and progressing recovery in Italy including €4m gain on sales of notes
  • EBITDA margin growing at 29% (from 22% in H1 2020) because of full contribution of higher margin businesses (e.g. Greece)

▪ Net Income growth deriving from increased EBITDA partially offset by higher financial charges and D&A resulting from acquisitions

The positive trends experienced in H2 2020 consolidating in H1 2021

Strong cash flow generation supporting dividend + M&A

Dividend distribution of €20.8m1 in June 2021 (100% payout out of 2020 Net Income ex NRI)

Notes: 1: Actual cash out by doValue of €18.9m in June 2021, delta of €1.9m expected to be paid in H2 2021

Leverage ratio at lowest levels in industry

Notes: 1: Non-recurring items in Operating expenses include the costs connected with the merger between doValue Greece and doValue Hellas, those incurred for the Group reorganization project and costs referred to Covid-19 2: LTM Pro Forma including the acquisition doValue Greece.

Gross Book Value evolution

  • Gross Book Value growing by 1% in H1 2021, as inflows more than compensated collections, sales, net write-offs and disposals
    • Stock of mandates already won (or secured) but still to be onboarded equal to €4.1bn
  • Strong inflows from new clients in H1 2021 at €5.2bn, contribute towards meeting, and possibly exceeding, the €7-9bn target for 2021
  • Strong inflows from existing clients in H1 2021 at €2.0bn with target for 2021 already achieved

One of the most diversified portfolios in the industry

  1. "Other Investors" includes Fortress at 26% of total GBV (together with FINO 2 portfolio).

Revenue composition: resiliency in base fees

Base fees has significantly grown from historical levels as a proportion of revenues (at 35%) despite pick-up in collections

  • Structurally higher exposure to Spain and Greece & Cyprus (base fees ca. 10 and >15bps respectively vs Italy at ca. 5bps)
  • Outsourcing fees stable in relative terms as perimeter as perimeter of activity stabilizes (i.e. REO/NPL)

Focus on operating expenses

Notes:

  1. Non-recurring items in Operating expenses include the costs connected with the merger between doValue Greece and doValue Hellas, those incurred for the

Group reorganization project and costs referred to Covid-19

Financial highlights by geography

  • Structurally higher collection rates in Iberia, Greece and Cyprus, due to shorter timing of legal procedures and improving macro environment
  • Collections and REO sales trending towards normalization with improving Stock Collection Rate
  • Spain and Portugal in line with expectations, supported by REO sales and real estate market holding up
  • Strong results in Greece and Cyprus, with accretive profitability and downside protection in the form of higher than average base fees
  • Continued overperformance of doValue Greece

Net working capital and net debt

  • Long term trend of reduction of ratio NWC / Gross Revenues LTM
  • Client shift towards investors (paying quicker vs banks) and doValue Greece contracts are key structural NWC positives
  • No sign of stress in payments by customers due to Covid-19

  • Continuous deleverage process with leverage at 2.4x and strong liquidity position at €117m (as of 30-Jun-2021), or €136m pro forma for July 2021 movements (net proceeds from bond issuance, payment of tax claim to Spanish tax authorities, payment received from Altamira seller)

  • RCF of ca. €85m
  • No refinancing needs until 2025

Notes: 1: LTM Pro Forma including the acquisition of Altamira Asset Management and doValue Greece.

Simple all bonds debt structure with support of banks through RCFs

  • doValue took advantage of the debt market in 2019 and 2020 to support its international M&A strategy, within its stated max 3x leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA) policy
  • Access to bond market provides for greater diversification and flexibility of funding
  • Rationale for Senior Facility Agreement Refinancing in 2021: (i) removal of maintenance covenants reduces liquidity risk and allows for more flexibility still within our financial policy for M&A and dividends, (ii) good market timing with cost being historically low (65 bps more than the SFA which had a average duration of 1.5 years compared with a 5.0 years maturity of the bond), (iii) no principal repayment obligations within our capital structure will provide us with additional liquidity for M&A and dividends, (iv) additional flexibility for the bond to become unsecured / unguaranteed upon refinancing of the previous bond

Cash flow dynamics

  • Confirmed highly cash generative nature of business with limited capex
  • Net Debt reduction sustained by growing EBITDA and financial assets divestments
  • Positive dynamic of operating cash flow even in a seasonally weak semester
  • Operating Cash Flow conversion on EBITDA equal to 51%, Free Cash Flow conversion on EBITDA equal to 29%

D&A related to Purchase Price Allocation

  • Every time the company completes an acquisition, the positive difference between purchase price and net equity of the target company is allocated to:
    • Tangible/Intangible Assets
    • Goodwill
  • In the context of the acquisition of FPS and AAM the company has booked:
    • Goodwill of €124m related to AAM
    • Goodwill of €112m related to FPS
    • Intangibles of €193m related to AAM (mostly contracts)
    • Intangibles of €215m related to FPS (contracts)
  • Intangible depreciate on the basis of the curve of expected profitability (i.e. nonlinear amortization) both over the business plan period and across the year
  • Goodwill undergoes each year an impairment test (no write-off up until now)
  • doValue adopts a safe approach allocating most of the value of its acquisitions to asset which depreciate in a predictable way
  • No D&A or intangibles are booked for contracts acquired in the context of regular business development activities with no upfront payment (i.e. no M&A)

Tax assets

Tax assets mostly originated from 2015 UCCMB transaction (ex doValue)

Consolidated Tax Assets derive c. 60% from Italy and rest from Spain

▪ DTAs (Loss Carry forward)

  • Can be used to off-set future direct taxes, subject to future profitability of
  • To be fully exploited through future profit generation

▪ DTAs (Net Write-down):

  • Can be used to off-set future direct taxes, with no maturity, starting from
  • C DTAs on temporary differences and others
