Since the beginning of 2022, the Group has been awarded €5.8 billion of additional new mandates (partly not yet onboarded as of September 30th, 2022), in particular €1.3 billion in Italy, €4.2 billion in the Hellenic Region and €300 million in Spain. The new mandates, together with the €1.7 billion forward flows received in 9M 2022, represent €7.5 billion of additional GBV for 2022 YTD. In addition, considering the €450 million Project Virgo and the €630 million Project Souq in Greece (secondary NPL disposals out of the Frontier I and Cairo portfolios respectively, whereby doValue is retaining the servicing mandate) the total GBV secured in 2022 YTD is close to €9.0 billion.
At the end of September 2022, Gross Book Value stood at €137.3 billion, a decline of 8.1% compared to the level of €149.5 billion at the end of 2021. The level of Gross Book Value of €137.3 billion is the result of new GBV onboarded for €10.0 billion, collections for €3.9 billion, write offs for €3.2 billion, disposals from clients for €5.0 billion (mostly compensated by indemnity fees) and the Sareb NPL portfolio off-boarding for €10.1 billion. As a reminder, as of September 30th, 2022, there were €4.0 billion of new mandates already secured and not yet onboarded whilst the Sareb REO portfolio (€11 billion) has been off-boarded on October 1st, 2022.
Collections in 9M 2022 stood at €3.9 billion (a decline of 2.9% compared to the €4.0 billion recorded in 9M 2021). The trajectory of the Collections reflects the decline in GBV Year on Year, partially mitigated by a mix effect (higher GBV in the Hellenic Region, moving from 21% of total as of September 30th, 2021, to 28% of total as of September 30th, 2022, which commands a higher Collection Rate vs Group average) as well as the progressive post-COVID recovery of court activities and the relaxation of the Government restrictions on foreclosures.
The Collection Rate is equal to 4.0% for the last twelve months ended in September 2022, broadly stable compared to the level of 4.3% recorded at the end of December 2021 and with the level recorded as of September 2021. The Collection Rate in Italy increased by 0.1 p.p. in the last three months (currently standing at 2.6%), the Collection Rate in the Hellenic Region remained stable at 5.0% whilst the Collection Rate in Iberia declined by 0.4 p.p. to 6.7% mainly due to the off-boarding of the Sareb NPL portfolio.
In 9M 2022, doValue has recorded Gross Revenues for €425.5 million, an increase of 10.3% compared to the €385.9 million recorded in 9M 2021.
Servicing Revenues, equal to €390.3 million (€355.8 million in 9M 2021), show an increase of 9.7%, mainly driven by the growth in NPE activity but also supported by sustained REO activity. More broadly, growth is also driven by a better GBV mix due to a higher contribution of the Hellenic Region. From a regional point of view, the Hellenic Region posted a 41.9% Servicing Revenue growth, Italy remained stable year on year and Iberia posted a 18.2% decrease mainly driven by the decline in GBV in the region.
Revenues from Co-investments are equal to €1.1 million (whilst were equal to €4.2 million in 9M 2021 primarily driven by the capital gain related to the resale of the Relais note booked in Q1 2021).
The contribution of Revenues from Ancillary Products and Minor Activities is €34.1 million, a substantial increase compared to the €25.9 million level achieved in 9M 2021 and driven by activities in the Italian market. These revenues include various services provided by the Group (data services, due diligence services, master and structuring services, legal activities, real estate letting and development services and advisory services).
Outsourcing fees have marginally decreased as a percentage of Gross Revenues to 10.7% (compared to 12.2% in 9M 2021) partially reflecting a different revenue mix but also the insourcing of some business processes, in particular in Italy, which allow to efficiently deploy the current available capacity within the workforce.
Net Revenues, equal to €380.0 million, have increase by 12.2% compared to €338.8 million in 9M 2021.

Operational Expenses, equal to €230.5 million have marginally decreased as a percentage of Gross Revenues to 54% (compared to 58% in 9M 2021, when they stood at €222.9 million). The increase in Operational Expenses in absolute terms of €7.5 million is mainly due to higher IT and SG&A expenses (linked to the transformation plans, in particular in Iberia but also in the Hellenic Region), whilst personnel expenses have remained relatively more stable (and marginally decreased as a percentage on Gross Revenues from 41% to 37%) also due to the reorganisation in Spain.
EBITDA excluding non-recurring items grew by 30.8% to €151.9 million (from €116.1 million in 9M 2021), with an increase in margin of 5.6 p.p., from 30.1% to 35.7%.
Including non-recurring items, EBITDA stood at €149.6 million, recording a growth of 29.1% compared to 9M 2021, when it was €115.9 million. Non-recurring items above the EBITDA mainly include charges related to consultancy projects for €2.4 million in 9M 2022.
Net Income including non-recurring items stands at €39.2 million, compared to €12.8 million in 9M 2021. The increase is primarily related to the growth in EBITDA, lower D&A and lower provisions for risks and charges and lower interest expenses, partially offset by higher taxes and higher minorities.
Excluding non-recurring items, Net Income stands at €45.6 million, compared to €22.7 million in 9M 2021. The nonrecurring items included below the EBITDA for 9M 2022 mainly refer to provisions for early retirement incentive plans and a litigation which were partially compensated by an insurance payment.
Net Debt at the end of September 2022 stood at €422.8 million, compared to the €401.8 million as the end of 2021.
Financial Leverage (represented by the ratio between Net Debt and EBITDA) decreased in 9M 2022 and stands at the end of September 2022 at 1.8x (vs 2.0x at the end of 2021 as well as vs the 2.2x at the end of June 2022) mainly thanks to the growth in EBITDA in the last twelve months.
During Q3 2022, approximately €38 million of cash flow was generated by doValue, partially compensating the cash absorption of €59 million in H1 2022.
In relation to the Spanish Tax Claim, doValue has activated an ordinary court proceeding against the insurance company to obtain the reimbursement of the outstanding approx. €29 million in relation to the payment made by the doValue Group in the context of the tax inspection promoted by the Spanish Tax Authority in 2021. Feedback around the ordinary court proceeding may be available not before 2024.
As a reminder, out of the initial €33 million Tax Claim already paid by doValue, €4 million has been reimbursed already by Altamira Asset Management Holding (the vehicle which sold Altamira Asset Management to doValue) as a purchase price adjustment, and c. €0.7 million has already been reimbursed by the insurance company.

Considering the results achieved in 9M 2022 and of the visibility on the progress of the business since the beginning of the year, the management of doValue confirms the 2022 guidance presented with the H1 2022 results in early August 2022, of Gross Revenues in the range of €555-565 million, EBITDA excluding non-recurring items in the range of €190-195 million, Net Income excluding non-recurring items €45-50 million whilst reaching a Financial Leverage of approximately 2.2x at the end of 2022.
In addition, in line with the dividend policy approved in the context of the Business Plan 2022-2024, doValue expects to distribute a Dividend Per Share of €0.60 for 2022 (subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of and Shareholders), representing a growth of 20% over the 2021 Dividend Per Share of €0.50.
On April 28th, 2022, the Annual General Meeting of doValue approved the dividend related to the fiscal year 2021 of €0.50 per share for a total amount of €39.5 million. The dividend was paid on May 4th, 2022 (an amount of €2.7 million was yet to be claimed by shareholders as of September 30th, 2022).
Since the beginning of 2022, doValue has been active on several fronts across the three regions in which it operates, below is a summary of all the main initiatives and key mandates.

The servicing market in Southern Europe continues to be active, with banking institutions accelerating their asset quality projects in view of the rise in default rates on the back of more challenging macro-economic conditions for 2022 and for 2023.
The pipeline of potential servicing mandates for 2022 across Southern Europe is currently estimated by doValue at approximately €19 billion and is likely to grow further in the next few months.
It can be expected that a significant macro-economic slowdown might affect the Group ability to collect, albeit for the time being the Collection performance has been very resilient as demonstrated by the results achieved in 9M 2022. In general, looking at past performance, collections have proven resilient and not highly correlated to GDP changes.
On the other hand, more challenging macro-economic conditions are likely to lead to increased production of Non-Performing Exposure (NPEs). Data published by third party institutions already show that corporates default rates in Italy have increased in the first part of 2022, mainly in the corporate sector.
More generally, doValue activity is underpinned by exogenous and favourable medium to long-term tailwinds, including the implementation, by banks, of stringent regulations for the recognition of loans (IFRS 9, Calendar Provisioning, Basel IV) aimed at promoting a very proactive approach in managing their balance sheets, in addition to the well-established outsourcing trend by banks of servicing activities.
The activity of doValue Group has no direct link with Ukraine nor Russia.

The financial results for 9M 2022 will be presented on Friday, November 11th , 2022, at 10:30 am CEST in a conference call held by the Group's top management.
