Consolidated financial highlights as at March 31, 2018 compared with March 31, 2017.
Verona, May 10, 2018 – The Board of Directors of doBank S.p.A. (the "Company" or "doBank") today approved the Consolidated Interim Report as at March 31, 2018.
Andrea Mangoni, Chief Executive Officer of doBank, said: "Our performance in the first quarter is a positive start to the year, demonstrating our execution capability: without yet benefitting from the effect of our new management contracts, the Group still improved its profitability and cash generation. In April, we also officially kicked off our operations in Greece, the Group's first international foray, in a promising market that will represent a further line of growth in the three-year plan we will be presenting in London on June 19 this year".
As at March 31, 2018, doBank had gross revenues of €46.3 million, an increase of 2% compared with €45.2 million in the first quarter of 2017.
More specifically, servicing revenues, the Group's main business area accounting for 91% of total revenues, amounted to €41.9 million, up 1% on the €41.7 million posted in the year-earlier period. The increase in revenues from base fees, a slight improvement in the average performance fee and an increase in portfolio transfer indemnities more than offset the decline in revenues from performance fees, consistent with developments in collections and the GBV which only benefitted in the last part of the quarter from the major new management contracts taken on in February and March 2018.
Revenues from co-investment and revenues from ancillary products and minor activities amounted to €4.3 million overall (9% of total revenues), an increase of 23% on the first quarter of 2017, when they totalled €3.5 million. They benefitted from the revenues produced by the ABSs of the Romeo SPV and Mercuzio Securitisation securitisations and the growth in revenues from business information services, due diligence, master servicing activities and other administrative services.
A decrease in the use of the external network also helped reduce fee and commission expense (-12% compared with the first quarter of 2017, from 9% to 8% of gross revenues), supporting the growth in net revenues, which amounted to €42.6 million as at March 31, 2018, up 4% compared with the €41.0 million posted in the first quarter of 2017.
Operating expenses were essentially unchanged at €31.6 million, compared with €31.2 million in Q1 2017. The expected increase in staff expenses (+16% in Q1 2018 compared with a year earlier) was connected with the strengthening of top management and the effect of the new incentive mechanism introduced following the listing. This increase was offset by a decline in other costs, notably IT expenses, mainly due to the insourcing of a number of previously outsourced processes, and Real Estate costs. The increase in other overheads was partly driven by a rise in outsourcing services for ancillary products and the start-up of operations in Greece.
EBITDA as at March 31, 2018 amounted to €11.0 million, up 12% compared with the same period of 2017. when the aggregate totalled €9.9 million. As a percentage of revenues, EBITDA rose significantly, going from 22% in Q1 2017 to 24% in Q1 2018.
Net profit as at March 31, 2018 amounted to €6.6 million, up 23% on the €5.3 million registered as at March 31, 2017 (the latter was adversely impact by losses on assets held for sale of about €341 thousand).
Net working capital amounted to €82.4 million, an improvement on the €93.1 million posted as at March 31, 2017, thanks to a decline in trade receivables, but a slight increase compared with the end of 2017, reflecting the normal seasonal fluctuations in the business.
The positive net financial position (cash) amounted to €48.3 million as at March 31, 2018, compared with €38.6 million at the end of and €27.5 million as at March 31, 2017, and was characterised by the absence of bank debt. Cash generation was especially strong in the first quarter of 2018, amounting to about €9.7 million from the end of 2017, equal to 88% of EBITDA for the period.
Tax assets amounted to €92.8 million as at March 31, 2018, slightly down compared with the end of 2017 (€94.2 million), mainly reflecting the reversal of assets on prior-year tax losses.
The CET1 ratio amounted to 26.8% compared with 26.4% as at December 31, 2017.
Assets under management (GBV) at March 31, 2018 amounted to €87.5 billion, compared with €82.5 billion a year earlier and €76.7 billion at the end of 2017. The substantial increase in the portfolio of loans under management reflected the more than €12 billion in GBV of new servicing contracts. In February, the portfolio transferred by REV, that connected with the Berenice operation and other smaller portfolios were onboarded, while in March the Group began management of the portfolio of loans originated by the MPS Group under a contract with the Italian Recovery Fund. The new servicing contracts were accompanied by about €0.3 billion (GBV) in new volumes from existing customers and the ordinary developments in collections, cancellations and transfers of portfolios.
Collections on loans under management in Q1 2018 amounted to €374 million, down on the €394 million posted in the first quarter of 2017 (-5%). Developments in collections, which were in line with expectations and the seasonal pattern of operations forecast for 2018, reflect changes in GBV under management, which only benefitted from the new management contracts in the last part of the period. Excluding new business, GBV in the first quarter of 2018 would have contracted by about 9% compared with the first quarter of 2017, underscoring the resilient performance of collections compared with the decline in GBV.
The collection rate at the end of March 2018 (the ratio of collections in the last 12 months to end-period GBV), excluding new management contracts, held steady at 2.4%, unchanged compared with December 31, 2017; including new servicing contracts – characterised by the dynamics discussed earlier and only partly reflected in collections for the period – the rate was 2.1%.
The Shareholders' Meeting of doBank S.p.A. met in ordinary session on April 19, 2018 and approved all items on the agenda, including the appointment of Company directors, who will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020: Giovanni Castellaneta (Chairman), Andrea Mangoni, Nunzio Guglielmino, Giovanni Lo Storto, Emanuela Da Rin, Paola Bruno, Francesco Colasanti and Giuseppe Ranieri, drawn from the list voted by the majority of the shareholders, and Giovanni Ba ttista Dagnino, drawn from the list voted by the minority.
The Meeting also appointed the members of the Board of Auditors for the 2018-2020 term, who will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020: Chiara Molon (Chairman), drawn from the list voted by the minority shareholders, and Francesco Mariano Bonifacio and Nicola Lorito, drawn from the list voted by the majority. Also appointed were the alternate auditors Sara Peron, drawn from the list voted by the minority shareholders, and Roberta Senni, drawn from the list voted by the majority. The Shareholders' Meeting of April 19 was attended, in person or by proxy, by 143 shareholders representing 80.41% of share capital.
Following completion of the passporting of the banking license, in April 2018, doBank Hellas was registered with the Chamber of Commerce of Athens (Greece), the first foreign branch of the doBank Group. The branch is starting the operations in the local market, one of Europe's largest in the servicing of non-performing loans.
For 2018, the Group confirms expectations of a substantial increase in assets under management (GBV), in addition to the €12 billion achieved in the first quarter, and an improvement in recovery capacity, which is expected to increase collections. The Group will continue reap the benefits of our operating leverage, with a positive impact on EBITDA and cash generation in terms of EBITDA-Capex. Finally, the Group plans to present an updated medium-term outlook (2018-2020) on June 29, 2018 in London.
